Chapter 1406: The Heavenly Court Immortals

"We pay homage to the Celestial Honored One."

After the immortals respectfully welcomed Li Yingqiong into the Great Purification Hall, they bowed again.

Many of these immortals were stronger than Li Yingqiong, yet they bowed willingly.

Whether in the mortal realm or the immortal realm.

The background is always present.

Behind Li Yingqiong stood a Taiqing True Person, and another, unassuming yet capable of making the Taiqing True Person yield—the Taixuan Dao Ancestor.

Ordinary immortals had no thought of opposing this power.

After a flurry of activity, Li Yingqiong finally dismissed everyone, leaving only one fairy attendant beside her in the Great Purification Hall.

"My Lord, the Immortal Emperor reminds you: now that you hold the rank of Four Regulators, you ought to have your own retinue. Issue an edict summoning your disciples from the mortal realm to ascend and strengthen the Purification Line."

Li Yingqiong nodded: "Indeed, this is proper."

At the fairy's reminder, Li Yingqiong suddenly remembered her mortal relatives—Qi Lingyun, her father, her uncle…

If these people ascended, they would be enough to fill out her Sect Master's retinue.

"By my decree, summon all disciples of the Taixuan Sect from the mortal realm: those who reach the Divine Power Realm shall ascend immediately."

Under Li Yingqiong's direction, an edict was stamped with the Jade Seal, radiating majestic divine authority, piercing through the void straight toward the mortal realm.

As soon as she finished, she received another invitation from the Immortal Emperor.

"The Immortal Emperor invites me to the Jade Pool Banquet?"

Li Yingqiong was stunned. "These people are too enthusiastic."

Yet, having spent years among mortals, she was no stranger to such things; she washed up and went to the Jade Pool Banquet.

At the Jade Pool, besides the Immortal Emperor, there were other Gao Jie immortals.

They greeted Li Yingqiong with great courtesy.

Li Yingqiong did not put on airs; she calmly drank and conversed with them.

"May I ask, Celestial Honored One, do we have any chance to meet the Taixuan Ancestor?"

Suddenly, someone asked.

As soon as the words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Li Yingqiong shook her head: "The Taixuan Ancestor possesses boundless divine power and frequently travels through all realms. Even I have only received his divine edicts and transmissions, never seen him in person. Perhaps only the Taiqing True Person has laid eyes on the Ancestor in this realm."

"I see. It was our Tang Tu to ask."

"Then, Celestial Honored One, do we have any chance to cultivate the Immortal Martial Way?"

Cultivation in this realm is not without merit.

The Primordial Spirit and Qi Refining paths are also great roads to transcendence.

Yet due to the world's limitations, this path only reaches the Great Luo level—and even that is a transmission reserved only for the Taiqing bloodline.

As for ordinary immortals, merely obtaining a Jin Xian transmission is already cause for great fortune.

Having ascended to the immortal realm for many years, many have been stuck at Jin Xian for a long time.

Now that they have seen the Taixuan transmission and met Li Yingqiong, how could they not seize this opportunity?

"So it's about this!" Li Yingqiong laughed. "I'll speak to the Ancestor. I doubt there will be any problem—but even if it succeeds, the cost will be considerable."

"Cost?"

"The Ancestor once said: the Dao is not lightly transmitted. What is freely gained is never valued. Thus, a Great Luo cultivation technique is priced at more than ten lower-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures."

Everyone froze.

The price was not high.

Though lower-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures were precious to them, if they could exchange them for a Great Luo technique…

They would gladly do so.

But—this realm's upper limit was low; Primordial Spiritual Treasures were scarce, and these were the protective treasures of those present, not to be lightly discarded.

"Of course, ordinary immortal magic treasures will do as well—though you'll need more of them," Li Yingqiong reminded.

"The Ancestor is compassionate!"

Hearing this, everyone bowed in solemn reverence.

Immortal magic treasures were wondrous to mortals, but for these immortals, they could be forged with sufficient materials.

Did the Taixuan Ancestor's rule not leave opportunity open to all?

What else could this be but compassion?

"I will report to the Ancestor and then inform you all," Li Yingqiong smiled. "In truth, you could pool your resources together—it won't take long before everyone has a Great Luo technique."

"Thank you for the reminder, Celestial Honored One."

They exchanged glances, each seeing the anticipation and fervor in the others' eyes.

Forging immortal treasures themselves, even if done swiftly, would take considerable time.

But if many friends and allies acted together, the pace would accelerate greatly.

Group chat.

Li Yingqiong: "Big Brother Taixuan, can we transmit the techniques to those in the immortal realm?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Why not? It's a great opportunity for you too! Didn't you spend a lot of effort gathering thirty billion points? Have the entire Heavenly Court pool their resources—it'll be much easier."

Su Xiao: "I'm envious—ascend, and big shots come to hand out points. I want that too."

Han Paopao: "Su Xiao, you're late but you made it!"

Xiao Mai: "Miss Li truly has profound fortune—no ordinary person can match her. Too bad I don't have an immortal realm here; otherwise, I could leverage Big Brother Taixuan's influence to earn some points."

Li Yingqiong: "Hehe, all thanks to Big Brother Taixuan. Now I won't lack for techniques going forward."

Earth: "Miss Li cultivates so quickly."

Li Yingqiong: "Time flows differently in each world. Actually, I've already cultivated for many years."

Earth: "True. I've only just stabilized here, and everything is falling into place. Great Dao Lord, can I also transmit cultivation to Earth's people?"

Su Xiao: "Aren't you afraid Earth's people will crush you? 【Threat】"

Earth: "What a joke—I can cultivate too."

Xiao Mai: "Planet cultivation?"

Earth: "Exactly. I asked Lady Lianggong to teach me the Method of Manifestation and Condensation, and I've condensed a human body. Now, I can cultivate too. Once my strength surpasses Earth's upper limit, I'll sever my connection to Earth and become an independent being—you can do it, so can I."

Su Xiao: "Sever your connection to Earth? Why not do it now?"

Earth: "My manifestation is still weak. Severing the link means abandoning my golden finger—do you think I'm stupid?"

Xiao Mai: "Wow, you're using your original form as a golden finger?"

Earth: "What else should I do? Earth is too big—how many years would it take to take form if I cultivated directly on it? Besides, once I take form, where will humans live?"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Earth is truly benevolent."

Lin Fengjiao: "Indeed. From now on, I'll add a new divine seat to my annual offerings—worship Mother Earth."

Earth: "No need. Incense offerings are of little use to Earth."

Lin Fengjiao: "Still, it's our gesture of respect."

Yue Buqun: "Then I'll have the Emperor offer sacrifices too."

Zhang Taixuan: "@Earth, if you don't mind, of course you may transmit cultivation to Earth's people."

Earth: "Thank you, Great Dao Lord. Hehe, then I'll switch to the immortal cultivation system too."

Su Xiao: "So you're giving up science?"

Earth: "Not giving up—Earth's energy is limited and must sustain daily life. Once they succeed in cultivation and find new energy sources in the cosmos, they can decide for themselves whether to develop technology."
