Chapter 204

Transforming into an Immortal Tripod, bearing faith, walking the path of a person becoming a vessel and a vessel becoming a person—this immortal path was not a moment of recklessness, but a long-planned strategy.

From the earliest contact with the immortal texts of the Dragon Coffin to touching the formation of the power of faith, it was like a seed, rooting and sprouting step by step.

People should have self-knowledge; Lin Xian felt that the possibility of him eventually ascending to immortality in the mortal world through constant Nirvana and physical transformation was not very high.

The path of physical sanctification is too competitive; above there is the Huang Tiandi Huang, now there is Ye Fan, and in the future, there will be a Little Nan Nan. Furthermore, there are players like Emperor Wu Shi and the Ruthless Empress competing, capable of crushing everyone else and leaving latecomers with a despair where no hope can be seen.

Among those who play with the physical body, how many dare to say they can surpass Huang and Ye? At most, they can only stand shoulder-to-shoulder.

Rather than dying in this competitive path, it is better to take an alternative route, overtake on a curve, and persist in his own Dao of Gnawing.

As the saying goes, gnaw through the Holy Body, gnaw through the baby, then gnaw through all living beings to gather faith.

On this path of becoming an immortal in the mortal world, all the Heavenly Emperors are struggling to explore and cannot provide extra help.

Lin Xian, who has nothing left to gnaw, locks his gaze onto the path of the faith of all living beings.

Compared to physical sanctification, there are far fewer competitors on the path of faith. The strong do not believe in reincarnation and only respect themselves; Lin Xian can exclusively enjoy the faith of the entire universe.

The ultimate wonderful use of the power of faith is related to longevity and the creation of an immortal land.

Whether it is the Bodhisattva Realm of the Western Desert or the Void God Realm of the Chaotic Ancient era, both illustrate this point.

Embodied as an Immortal Tripod, evolving a world within, transplanting divine soil, planting immortal medicine, and letting longevity substances circulate internally—one cannot learn from the Green Emperor and drift to the sky; first, make oneself immortal, then proceed to the next step.

With the soul as a deity, bathing in faith, one can also open up an illusory spiritual world.

Combining internal and external, virtual and real, positive and negative—at this time, one can advance to learn from the Green Emperor and evolve a complete Immortal Domain, or retreat to learn from the Divine Baby and live a brand-new life.

If one gains the power of faith from the myriad heavens and worlds in the future, one can go even further; that position of authority pushed by all heavens can help an Immortal King go up a level and become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

"Where does the power of faith come from?" System 10086 asked curiously. Lin Xian's theory, after its deduction, had a great possibility of success.

It just had a small problem: only the strongest can gain the worship of all living beings and gather the power of faith.

To become a strong person, one needs faith; to want faith, one needs to become a strong person.

It is another vicious cycle.

"Very simple, tamper with the history books of time, write myths and legends." Lin Xian smiled slightly. The Heavenly Court he wants to build is not a Heavenly Court that respects the Huang Tiandi.

Nowadays, the strongest in the Immortal Alliance is Gai Jiuyou; Ye Fan's cultivation is not even as good as Lin Xian's, only at the Palace, Fifth Level. He cannot be the sole ruler even if he wants to.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xian is prepared to transform the faith in the Huang Tiandi into faith in the Heavenly Court.

【The Huang Tiandi was originally the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, without personality, and was the vast ocean of Haotian Qi. At the end of the mythological era, he descended to the human world. The first incarnation was the Heavenly Court's Emperor Zun. Now he has descended to the human world again, the second incarnation is the Holy Body Ye Fan, and he is opening the Heavenly Court again in this life.】

【The Heavenly Court is not Emperor Zun; Emperor Zun is the Lord of the Heavenly Court, with immeasurable incarnations, teaching according to the situation, and saving people through tribulations.】

【The Lord of the Heavenly Court is not always present, but the immortal vessel Green Tripod is eternal.】

Lin Xian dictated, Master Hei Huang wrote, and a page of history was formed.

The Huang Tiandi sits in turns; this year it is my turn. Before it was Emperor Zun, now it is Ye Fan; it is not sacred.

Only the Green Tripod, existing since ancient times, is the true symbol of the Heavenly Court.

Before the Immortal Tripod came out, the immortal path was full of confusion, and all living beings were exploring in the dark, so much so that even someone as stunning as Lingbao Yuanshi Tianzun failed, Daode Yuanshi Tianzun was tricked into forming a reincarnation seal, and there was even an ancient Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun reincarnated as Emperor Fuxi.

The birth of the Immortal Tripod was a world-changing event. Since then, seeking immortality and asking about the Dao has taken on a new look. Even if the immortal path is slim, generation after generation of cultivators are full of ambition and no longer pin their hopes on ascending to immortality after death and forming a reincarnation seal.

Various longevity methods emerged, and successive enlightened ones became idea-kings, walking unusual paths.

Because the tripod can become an immortal, then a person can also become an immortal!

Immortals truly exist!

The Green Tripod is a ritual vessel for the state, symbolizing immortality. It is immortal in the mortal world and the only immortal vessel created by human beings after the Chaotic Ancient era. Its significance is profound, condensing the faith of ancient cultivators, and it represents the Heavenly Court better than the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

Once this proposal was made, all the Sages were very satisfied. They now hold Emperor weapons and are the big brothers of their respective holy lands, always having the final say.

Joining a loose alliance like the Immortal Alliance, where they can eat meat together and take benefits together, is fine, and they are naturally happy and eager to try. But joining a strictly organized Heavenly Court makes them a bit uncomfortable.

If a Venerable like Gai Jiuyou were the Lord of the Heavenly Court, the Sages would endure it, but Ye Fan has not yet reached Great Completion, not even Small Completion, and only has a title.

Rather than letting the Lord of the Heavenly Court be the sole ruler, it is better to let the Holy Huang Tiandi rule by doing nothing, with the Sages holding the real power.

Ye Fan, as the Lord of the Heavenly Court, can issue various instructions, but the Heavenly Court is composed of various holy lands, and the Sages holding Emperor weapons have a veto power.

The two Sages of the Tianxuan Holy Land, Old Madman and Saint Wei Yi, do not care much about things, so Lin Xian, as the Master of the Tianxuan Holy Land, naturally manages this power on their behalf.

Reasonable requests from the Holy Body Huang Tiandi, Lin Xian considers agreeing to; unreasonable requests, such as asking for the Tianxuan Holy Crown, are directly vetoed by him.

"Damn it, I've become a mascot!"

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and suddenly understood his situation. It was like Emperor Xian of the late Han Dynasty or the Secretary-General of the United Nations, purely a figurehead. There are treacherous ministers in the Heavenly Court; Master Hei Huang and Lin Xian are usurping power, and the imperial order is not strong.

Cultivate, must cultivate hard. When his Holy Body reaches Great Completion and is comparable to a Great Emperor, he will come back to settle the karma.

Ye Fan took a deep breath and begged the Sages to protect him as he charged through the Four Extremities, wanting his Holy Body to reach Small Completion.

This was a reasonable request, and the Sages agreed without exercising their veto power.

Several Sages had no objections, and Gai Jiuyou also nodded and said: "The Green Emperor's Dao marks are beginning to fade, and there is a glimmer of hope for the Holy Body's cultivation."

"Then the resources needed for the breakthrough." Ye Fan coughed, feeling a bit embarrassed, and asked tentatively.

Great Sage Saint Wei Yi said with a calm expression: "Just say how much you need."

"At least ten million." Ye Fan sighed. This was the budgeted number; the actual breakthrough would likely be several times that.

"My Yaoguang will give five million!"

The old Sage of Yaoguang spoke immediately. He was a latecomer, and if a latecomer wants to get ahead and obtain a more important position in the Heavenly Court, he needs to pay a greater price.

Moreover, ever since he learned that Little Nan Nan was not the Emperor's daughter and was very likely the Empress, the old Sage of Yaoguang was even more determined, convinced that in this life, the Heavenly Court would rule over the nine heavens and ten earths.

Because this is not a union of Sages, but the will of the Great Emperors. On the bright side, there are two Venerables, Gai Jiuyou and Little Nan Nan, sitting in town.

"The Emperors stand together; it is truly going to reproduce the myth." The old Sage of Yaoguang was excited. This time, he is going all in!

However, how could other Sages allow him to exclusively enjoy the Holy Body? Don't look at how weak Ye Fan is now; if he can successfully break through, he will be a Great Completion Holy Body in the future, a Venerable of the current age, and reasonable investment must be made.

"The Jiang family will give eight million Source." God Wang Jiang Taixu said in a deep voice. Ye Fan has been kind to him, so he must help out no matter what.

"My Ji family has some stock of Dao-enlightenment tea leaves." The old Sage of the Ji family gritted his teeth; he was going to bleed.

"My Yaochi will give a piece of Divine Source!" The Sage of Yaochi said with a calm expression, worthy of being a lineage of three Emperors, rich and powerful.

Seeing that they were going to increase the price layer by layer, Yan Ruyu showed a helpless look and looked at Lin Xian for help.

The Green Emperor's lineage had just been rebuilt. Although there was a Great Emperor above and geniuses below, there was no cash flow, and they could not come up with so much Source.

"This little hand is quite smooth."

Lin Xian stepped forward and held the soft hand of the Demon Princess, his mind wandering for a moment, then he coughed and pulled her behind him.

Facing the Sages alone, he said loudly: "Sages, wait a moment, don't forget that we still have a war indemnity."

"War indemnity?" The Sages were slightly stunned, then became thoughtful and looked at God Wang Jiang Taixu.

"Yaoguang... cough cough, it is the sinner of the Ruthless Empress's lineage, inciting the Dark Night King and more than a dozen Holy Masters to assassinate the God King. How can this matter pass easily?"

Lin Xian smiled and shook the Human Emperor Banner in his hand. Now there are two Sage imprints and thirteen Holy Masters freshly baked in it.

"What does the Holy Master Lin mean?" The Sage of the Jiang family asked.

"Of course, we are decent people and cannot force buying and selling." Lin Xian said leisurely: "It's just that the God King has successfully undergone Nirvana, and a Sage is suppressing the current age. With such majesty, shouldn't the major holy lands come to congratulate?"

"Shouldn't this congratulation come with a hundred million points of congratulatory gifts?"

"Not just people from the Eastern Wasteland, but also people from the Central Plains. Release the word that as long as the lineages come to attend the celebratory banquet, bygones will be bygones."

"But for those lineages that cannot come, they can figure it out themselves."

The Sages were thoughtful upon hearing this. This grand meeting would definitely involve more than just the forces that came to apologize. As more and more Holy Masters participated, other lineages would have to come as well.

After all, everyone else came, and if your lineage didn't come, what does that mean? Are you looking down on the Sages?

Then the great power that assassinated the God King must be from your family.

Master Hei Huang was howling, loudly calling for the God King to leave such matters to it to handle. If it didn't scrape off three layers of oil, it wouldn't be Master Hei Huang.

Looking at this scene, Gai Jiuyou smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's good to be young, energetic, and like to mess around."

"Then what if the Senior handles it?" Lin Xian asked curiously.

"First destroy three lineages to serve as a warning to others, and the following ten will naturally offer all their family assets." Gai Jiuyou said calmly, seemingly having rich experience.

Lin Xian gasped. Ginger is still old and spicy; when it comes to being black-hearted, one still has to look at the older generation.

"Actually, I also think Senior Gai's proposal is good." Void God King said calmly: "Destroy first. The Heavenly Court is about to be established, and we must get the name of the Immortal Alliance out."

"Good."

"Just use this to deter the world!"

The Sages of the five major forces—Yaoguang, Yaochi, Jiang family, Ji family, and Tianxuan—nodded, then took their Emperor weapons and acted separately.

Saint Wei Yi took the Chaos Green Lotus to the Central Plains. There are many experts there, and it needs a Great Sage to suppress everything.

Lin Xian was silent for a moment, looked at Ye Fan, and said slowly: "Do you know what we lack compared to the older generation?"

"Not ruthless enough." Ye Fan sighed. He considered himself decisive enough in killing and had stained his hands with the blood of many outlaws.

But compared to the Sages, it was really a small matter. They don't make a sound, but when they do, they shock everyone.

"I have always felt that I was using the Sages and Emperor weapons." Lin Xian sighed and said: "Now it seems that it is the few old... cough cough, old Sages who used us."

Lin Xian changed his words in time. The five Sages had left, but Gai Jiuyou had not yet left. This eight or nine-thousand-year-old man was the oldest.

"It's not too late to understand now." Gai Jiuyou smiled calmly and waved his hand, saying: "You girls go out for a stroll. You two little guys, how about accompanying me, an old man, for a walk?"

Yan Ruyu's fair cheeks flushed, and she withdrew her jade hand that had been held by Lin Xian, going to the backyard to find Fairy Zixia and Little Nan Nan.

Lin Xian coughed, then stepped forward and saluted: "Is there anything the Senior wants from us?"

"It's not that I have anything." Gai Jiuyou pointed to the direction of the Dragon Transformation Pool and said leisurely: "Have you forgotten something?"

Lin Xian and Ye Fan looked at each other, then said in unison: "Holy crap, the monkey!"

The battle in the Shengcheng was too rushed, and another Gai Jiuyou suddenly jumped out, planning to lay out a strategy, making Lin Xian's mind focus entirely on this Venerable.

So much so that he forgot that there were two monkeys in the Shengcheng, one was the Fighting Holy Ape, and the other was also a Fighting Holy Ape, just a version of the Princess Princess Shen Can.

Lin Xian introduced the Holy Prince to Gai Jiuyou because he had many similarities with the monkey's father, the Fighting Holy Emperor.

It was also when he was undergoing the Emperor Tribulation that he suffered Dao injuries and was on the verge of death.

The Fighting Holy Emperor had the Flat Peach Divine Medicine, which he used to survive the death crisis. After coming out, he was full of energy and proved his Dao to become an Emperor.

Moreover, the second Emperor Tribulation was many times harder than the first one, but the Fighting Holy Emperor broke through it without any injuries, and his combat power reached a heaven-defying level!

To become an Emperor, besides talent, opportunity, and perseverance, the most important thing is luck.

Gai Jiuyou was stunningly talented, reaching the threshold of enlightenment in a thousand years, but he lacked a bit of luck to become an Emperor and had no immortal medicine to follow him.

But even so, he still lived for nine thousand years and lived to this life, comparable to a Venerable.

As arrogant as the Holy Prince, when he learned that the sickly old man in front of him had almost become enlightened, he was stunned for a long time before spitting out a sentence: "A divine man similar to Di Que."

Gai Jiuyou met the Green Emperor, Di Que met the Fighting Holy Emperor; if it weren't for such opponents, missing a generation, they were destined to become enlightened.

"My father was once invincible in the heavens and the earth, but when I was born, his lifespan was exhausted, and he died not long after."

The Holy Prince shook his head. He was only by the Holy Emperor's side for three years, so he was ignorant about many things.

"This is three years old..." Lin Xian's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether to sigh that the Holy Emperor gave birth late or that the Holy Prince was too young.

The monkey frankly said that his father died early, and later he was always raised by his uncle and aunt, so he was very close to them and worked hard for the Princess Princess Shen Can Princess.

"Did the Holy Emperor say how to treat Dao injuries? Besides the fruit of the immortal medicine, are there any other ways?"

Lin Xian asked. Besides Gai Jiuyou, the big patient, Ye Fan would undergo the tribulation in a few days, and he might also become a small patient.

If he didn't rely on the holy fruit and survived on his own, he might be even more powerful.

"Dao injuries?" The monkey frowned, thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "There really is one!"
