Chapter 101: with translation of chapter title

Gu Yuan's basic attack brought a shock far exceeding Gu Lin Tian and Jiang Rou jointly proving Dao, and was even more intense and lasting.

The former represents the Gu Family's current strength, which is already out in the open.

The latter represents the Gu Family's unfathomable, even frightening future.

How terrifying will Gu Yuan be when he grows up?

True Immortal? Immortal King?

No, all the old monsters present felt that Gu Yuan might become the Gu Family's second Immortal King!

As for the first, of course it is that Gu Family ancestor.

Only the True Immortal Wan You and the Primordial Divine Lord, also true immortals, felt a vague fear.

An even older, more taboo term surfaced in their minds—Immortal Emperor!

This Gu Family young lord possesses the bearing of an Immortal Emperor!

It is said that all Immortal Emperors, in their youth, had the record of easily defeating strong opponents by crossing several major realms.

Sweeping through unmatched, invincible all life, walking the invincible path, condensing invincible momentum—only then can one become an Immortal Emperor!

And in fact.

Whether Immortal King or Immortal Emperor,

to the many forces of the Primordial Immortal Realm, there is hardly any difference.

Only three words.

Can't beat them!

Resistance?

Don't joke.

If not now to cling to this possible future Immortal King's thigh, when then?

Thus, the ensuing "Immortal Court Establishment Ceremony" proceeded unusually smoothly.

Gu Lin Tian didn't even say another word, simply sitting calmly on that cloud-borne throne; the various Dao lineage leaders below vied to offer their lineage imprints and soul contracts, fearing that a delay would lose them the chance to become ministers of the dragon.

That is the future Immortal King's retinue!

As long as they can squeeze into the first batch list, when Gu Yuan later reigns over the heavens, will these elders still worry about having no soup to drink?

Looking down at those who usually stand high above.

At this moment, the sect leaders and monarchs, flushed red from competing for a spot, while the Gu Family members on the cloud showed varied expressions.

Gu Lingjiang, Gu Xuan Ce, and the other elders felt pride and pride from the heart.

Gu Zhan grinned widely, laughing until he couldn't close his mouth, he nudged Gu Xue Dao with his elbow.

"Third brother, look at those grandsons—just now they were each like they'd lost their father, now they're more affectionate than anyone; it's our little Yuan who's formidable, subduing them without lifting a finger."

Gu Xue Dao glanced at him and said irritably:

"You don't understand; this is winning without fighting, the way of a king. The patriarch and the young master are giving them a chance—if they don't appreciate it, you think they could still stand here?"

"Hehe, I get it, I get it."

Gu Zhan scratched his head and laughed foolishly, "I just feel… damn satisfying!"

Jiang Rou gazed at the spectacle of myriad immortals paying homage below, then looked at her son standing in the void, his expression calm, as if he had done a trivial little thing; her beautiful eyes filled with affection and relief.

My Yuan son, finally grown up.

The celebration lasted a full day.

When the last lineage offered its submission contract, Gu Lin Tian finally spoke again.

His voice was plain, yet it reached every corner of the Immortal Realm.

"Now that the Immortal Court is established, there must be rules."

As his words fell, Heavenly Emperor Gu Xuan Ce stepped forward, his chart disk flashing; a huge golden scroll unfurled slowly above the Heavenly Dome.

Upon the scroll, Dao runes flowed, each name emitting immortal divine radiance, imprinted there.

"By the Immortal Lord's decree, establish the Immortal Court's statutes!"

"Within the Immortal Realm, all lineages are divided into three grades and nine ranks according to their foundation and contribution."

"Those in the first grade are the Eight Pillars Immortal States: the Ji Clan, the Myriad Gods Hall..."

Upon hearing those two names, the crowd below felt a jolt.

This is to give those two true immortals the highest treatment.

"... as well as the Purple Mansion Immortal Sect, the Supreme One Dynasty, the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land, the Mending Heaven Dao, the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Longevity Hall—eight powers in total, forming the Immortal Court's Eight Pillars."

"The Eight Pillar Immortal States may retain their own lineage inheritance, enjoy the right to mobilize thirty percent of the Immortal Court's troops, their leaders may attend Immortal Court deliberations, and each year receive ten strands of immortal substance!"

Boom!

Upon these words, the leaders of the several named forces trembled all over with excitement.

Especially the Purple Mansion Immortal Sect, the Supreme One Dynasty, and the other six families, who had thought they would rank below the Ji Clan and Myriad Gods Hall, never expecting to end up on equal footing with those two true‑immortal‑level powers, becoming the so‑called Eight Pillars Immortal States!

Ten strands of immortal substance each year!

A hundred years equals a thousand strands!

After making up their foundations, they can at least prolong their lives by several hundred years!

"Your subjects, kowtow in thanks for the Immortal Lord's heavenly grace!"

The six sect leaders and monarchs, overjoyed to tears, prostrated themselves before Gu Lin Tian, weeping with gratitude.

Meanwhile, the powers not named wore faces of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Gu Xuan Ce ignored the reactions below and continued reading.

"Those in the second grade are the Thirty‑Six Grotto‑Heavens; they receive the Immortal Court's investiture, may self‑govern their lands, and each year receive one strand of immortal substance."

"Those in the third grade are the Three Thousand Blessed Lands; they must obey the Immortal Court's orders, pay tribute on schedule, and those who perform exceptionally may be awarded immortal substance."

"Outside the list, all are mundane."

Three grades, nine ranks, the hierarchy is strict.

Rewards and punishments are clear, carrot and stick.

This move directly binds the entire Immortal Realm firmly to the Gu Family's war chariot.

Those lineages that failed to make the list are not discouraged; instead, they are full of vigor.

Because the list is not immutable, as long as one's contribution to the Immortal Court is great enough, there is a chance to rise.

This gives everyone a visible, tangible hope.

The price paid is naturally a vast amount of resources and the tribute due every hundred years.

And just then.

In the depths of the starry sky, two supreme auras descended.

One aura was gentle, like spring wind turning rain, namely the Ji Family's Wanxiu True Immortal.

The other aura was overbearing, like scorching fire boiling oil, namely the Myriad Gods Hall's Yuanchu Divine Lord.

The two True Immortals did not reveal their true forms, merely sending an incarnation across endless time and space.

"Ji Family, Wanxiu, pay respects to the Gu Immortal Lord."

"Myriad Gods Hall, Yuanchu, pay respects to the Gu Immortal Lord."

The two incarnations bowed respectfully before Gu Lin Tian.

This scene completely shattered the last shred of fantasy in the hearts of those unwilling to submit.

Even True Immortals bowed and called themselves subjects.

This Immortal Realm has truly changed.

Gu Lin Tian nodded slightly, returning the greeting.

"Friends, you are too polite. The Immortal Court has just been established and still needs your help."

"Immortal Lord, you flatter us; this is our duty."

The Wanxiu True Immortal's incarnation chuckled, "If there are any orders in the future, my Ji Family will dare not disobey."

The Yuanchu Divine Lord added directly: "Immortal Lord, if you issue any command, my Myriad Gods Hall will serve as the vanguard, swords and flames, we will not shun."

He showed more enthusiasm than anyone else, after all, his letter of allegiance is genuine.

Look.

This makes him one of the Eight Pillars of the State.

Although there is still some dissatisfaction, seeing the immortal substance that could let him live another few million years, he can accept it.

Thus, the framework of the Immortal Court is basically complete.

A grand gathering that will decide the Immortal Realm's pattern for hundreds of millions of years, fell silent amidst seemingly calm but actually turbulent currents.

……

……

Huozhou.

Immortal Traveling Palace.

Since the Lei and Huo Zhou took root on the Gu Family's Divine Island, Gu Yuan moved the traveling palace here.

Gu Yuan refused all visitors who came to pay respects, and soaked alone in a tub carved from a whole piece of life-source stone, letting out a comfortable sigh.

The pool water was filled with various heavenly treasures and earthly materials, and luxuriously drizzled with the immortal divine fluid refined from Lei Zhou and Huo Zhou.

The rich life essence and immortal substance seeped slowly through his pores into his body, nourishing his newly reforged Immortal King bones.

"Still this comfortable."

Gu Yuan leaned against the pool edge, lifted the immortal wine prepared long ago by the attendant maid made from ten-thousand-year vermilion fruit, and took a leisurely sip.

He had no interest in being the Immortal Lord or the myriad tribes coming to court.

Rather than spend that time handling tedious affairs, he would rather soak longer, drink more, and enjoy life.

"So the most enjoyable thing is still being the crown prince. Anyway, even if the sky falls, I have my father and my grandfather to hold it up. Oh, my grandfather is in seclusion, no problem, I still have the heap of True Immortal talismans and bronze immortal plaques left by my grandfather." Gu Yuan thought contentedly.

This is the benefit of being a top-tier immortal second generation.

As long as one does not court death, basically one can do as one pleases.

Just as he was enjoying this rare leisure.

A mechanical sound suddenly rang in his mind without warning.
