Only at Body Integration, yet you crossed the Ganyue Bridge—you have the merit to be my junior brother. Little brother’s judgment is sharp; from now on, you may call me Senior Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xu’s words were an acknowledgment of his status as junior brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaining the approval of this second senior brother was no small feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a true immortal—his standards were naturally high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Hua Xu Immortal Lord spoke slowly: “Master took three disciples. The eldest inherited Master’s Dao, I inherited Master’s techniques, and the youngest inherited Master’s methods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The youngest brother, acting on Master’s behalf, took you in because he saw you had received Master’s artifact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master’s artifact is not something anyone can obtain—it requires Master’s unseen recognition. Though the youngest brother led you into the sect, do not overthink it; this was Master’s will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are destined to this lineage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, you even independently awakened Master’s method. Good. Very good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Master’s artifact” must refer to the Immortal Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xu sighed softly: “Alas, the Immortal Court is incomplete. Master once passed me a fragmentary text—I believe it was meant for you, the youngest brother. Whether you can restore it fully depends on your own destiny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This method is called ‘Supplement the Heavenly Defect.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he pressed a finger to Li Rui’s third eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast torrents of knowledge exploded within Li Rui’s spiritual sense, filled with supreme truths, obscure and incomprehensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Art!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Hua Xu Immortal Lord had transmitted to him was true Immortal Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Supplement the Heavenly Defect?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Li Rui’s final thought—but the method was too profound, too arcane; even his spiritual sense could not bear it. His vision darkened, and he collapsed into unconsciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xu Immortal Lord gazed at Li Rui and sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Court was destroyed, leaving only a fragment—how could the rest ever be found?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by supplementing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mending the Immortal Court was impossibly difficult; only beings like Master might have a chance—let alone him, who possessed only a fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Difficult. Harder than scaling heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Poor little brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Rui awoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seven full days had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his True Lord-level spiritual soul, it took him seven days to absorb it—proof of the method’s immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dao of Heaven diminishes the excess and supplements the deficiency. Thus, emptiness overcomes fullness; deficiency overcomes excess. To supplement the deficiency by overcoming excess—that is Supplement the Heavenly Defect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui was captivated by the method of Supplement the Heavenly Defect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other repair methods,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supplement the Heavenly Defect did the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It taught that if a defect already existed, let it remain—do not attempt to mend it, for no repair could ever match the original. Better to forge a new path, reshape the brokenness, and at its deepest level, perhaps even surpass the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as his senior brother had said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the transmitted Supplement the Heavenly Defect was only a fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, it was immensely useful to Li Rui now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this Immortal Art, he could unleash the Immortal Court’s full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mortal Immortal’s karmic bond with him stemmed from the Immortal Court—his way out lay within the Immortal Court itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the Immortal Court became, the greater his chance to break the deadlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior brothers are truly the best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui praised inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind the eldest senior brother he’d never met—this second and third senior brother truly gave gifts. Whether it was Wu Zhong Daojun or Hua Xu Immortal Lord, each meeting brought him a stunning surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>",648,"2026-06-19T22:01:12.223Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8fae29f9474cfc4b7e34c5db7d314b2f3a9417a69b2a3e68ffca8c8541388cd0","eternal-green-immortal-sovereign-chapter-839","eternal-green-immortal-sovereign-chapter-837",866,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-green-immortal-sovereign-cover.jpg"]
