Actually, among the new Immortals in White Jade City this time, in addition to the Welfare Immortals formed by the Taiyi brothers, there were several other Immortals mingling among them.
For example, the Dream Interpreter Immortal, the Criticizing Immortal, and the Adventure Immortal.
"Hello Immortal Feng Lixi, I am the Dream Interpreter Immortal."
Meng Wuyou smiled at Nuwa and Feng Lixi, "Daoist, we meet again."
Nuwa frowned slightly with displeasure, "I am the Handicraft Immortal! Don't call me Immortal Feng Lixi."
"Okay, Immortal Feng Lixi!" Meng Wuyou blinked, finding Nuwa quite amusing.
"Hmph! I don't want to talk to you anymore." Nuwa turned and left, approaching another dignified female Immortal.
"Hello Panpan."
Houtu's expression froze, "Daoist Feng, my name is Wu Pan."
She represented the ten witches of Spiritual Mountain and was here to listen in.
"If it really can't be helped, you may call me Storybook Immortal."
Houtu whispered, "I've decided to set up a stall in White Jade City, selling some mythological stories. If Daoist Feng needs any, you can find me in Second Heaven City."
"Really? Can Immortal Panpan write stories? That's so impressive!" Nuwa looked at Houtu with a face full of curiosity.
Houtu's pretty face blushed slightly, "Don't call me Immortal Panpan, just call me Storybook Immortal."
"Okay, Immortal Panpan!"
Nuwa had a hint of triumph in her eyes, discovering just how fun it was to tease someone else.
She buzzed around Houtu with newfound enthusiasm as if she had discovered a new continent.
A short distance away, the three female Immortals.
The Tour Guide Immortal Ginsengfruit was conversing with a red-clothed Immortal.
"Daoist, what are you doing here?" Ginsengfruit Tree looked puzzledly at Red Cloud, since Zhen Yuanzi did not come, why did He come?
Red Cloud smiled and said, "Of course, I was invited by Daoist Lord Hong Jun."
"As for why Zhen Yuanzi didn't come, hehe, you'll find out later."
Red Cloud took a deep look at Ginsengfruit Tree, who would have thought that the tree belonging to Zhen Yuanzi's family would lead such an interesting life outside.
The Ginsengfruit Tree looked a bit wary, "You're not going to tell Zhen Yuanzi, are you?"
"How could I?"
Red Cloud's eyes narrowed slightly, patting the Ginsengfruit Tree, "Who are we with each other, am I the kind of Divine being who snitches? Clearly not."
"Really?" The Ginsengfruit Tree was somewhat skeptical.
"Ah, relax, I also snuck out without Zhen Yuanzi knowing, this should put you at ease."
Red Cloud said, "Also, I am the Criticizing Immortal. If someone in your Tour Guide Alliance maliciously gives negative reviews, I can help you fight back."
"The Criticizing Immortal?"
Ginsengfruit Tree nodded lightly, "Our alliance receives rave reviews, we don't need to manipulate them."
"When White Jade City goes to war with the Demon Path, there should be use for your skills."
Red Cloud immediately laughed, "I'm already looking forward to it."
"What are you looking forward to, Daoist?"
Just then, an unexpected voice rang out.
Ginsengfruit and Red Cloud turned to look, only to see an Immortal with disheveled hair, with a sword stabbed into His forehead, and fresh blood trickling from the wound, soaking His face.
He revealed an eerie smile, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
"Daoist, who are you?" Ginsengfruit and Red Cloud were both startled, what an unusual style, unseen before!
"I'm the new Adventure Immortal!" Ming River removed the sword from His forehead, splattering blood that nearly reached Red Cloud and Ginsengfruit.
The two Immortals silently took two steps back.
White Jade City was indeed becoming increasingly strange.
~~~
"Since everyone is here, let's have a Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals."
Seeing the Immortals arriving one after another, Hong Jun declared an important event.
With a wave of His hand, the Immortal Light of All Heavens City was misty in White Jade City, and countless points of light rose up in the streets and alleys.
Within these Immortal Lights resided cultivators, rising into the air, overlooking the entire White Jade City.
"Eh? Have we ascended?"
"Is this White Jade City?"
"Wow, I can see the five major Heavenly Cities."
"The legendary twelve Jade Towers."
"Are those the big shots of Immortal Dao? I think I saw the Daoist Ancestor!"
Countless Cultivators from the Immortal Dao Plane arrived in White Jade City for the first time through the pathways of All Heavens City.
Yang Mei started speaking, "Fellow Immortals from the Immortal Dao Plane, this is the headquarters of White Jade City. We are about to commence a Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals to announce some major matters of our Immortal Dao."
"Thus, in this fashion, we've asked everyone to come and listen in."
"Alright, now I ask all stall owners and Realm Masters to manage the cultivators from various worlds."
"By Your command!" On the streets and alleys, Immortals in front of their stalls salute, and then ascend into the clouds.
Thousands of rainbow lights soar into the sky, arranging themselves according to their duties.
In an instant, the skies were filled with celebratory clouds, and Immortal Light converged, clearly delineating, transforming into the Nine-layered Heavenly Palace.
Within each layer of the Heavenly Palace, the golden light was boundless, auspicious mist colorful, and purple haze lingered, with countless light figures exchanging salutations.
Truly, it was as if Immortals were as numerous as hemp.
"Two Daoists, please!" The Immortals stood within the Nine-layered Heavenly Palace, saluting Hong Jun and Yang Mei.
"Please!"
Hong Jun and Yang Mei ascended to Chong Xiao, arriving at the first layer of the Heavenly Palace.
Afterward, the Immortal Light surged, and the Immortals Qian Kun, Yin Yang, and Dian Dao closely followed them.
Xuanqing, Jing Yao, Yu Chen, Nuwa, Taiyi, and over ten other Immortals occupied positions to the left and right.
The assembly of immortals settled down, and Hong Jun began his lecture: "This Conference of Immortals has determined the major paths of our Immortal Dao for the future."
"Within the Cycle, there are five immortals, named: Heaven, Earth, Human, Divine, Ghost!"
"These five immortals represent the five major paths, leading directly to the doorway of the Great Dao."
"Furthermore, there exists one method that is inclusive and comprehensive, the way to achieve Primordial Chaos. Since this method is divided into nine major stages, it is also known as the Nine Immortals of Primordial Chaos."
"Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal; True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal; Taiyi Immortal, Da Luo Immortal, Primordial Chaos Immortal."
Hong Jun said: "This path, although the last three realms are divided into three, they are all part of the Dao. These are simply different terms used for the Dao at different stages."
"Taiyi, that which is innate, existing concurrently with the Dao, is the origin of the Dao."
"Da Luo, coming before the beginning of the world, encompasses all that exists, is the entirety of the Dao."
"Primordial Chaos, the utmost of the Limitless, the Dao in the utmost void. Such a realm is the highest in our Immortal Dao, and I too seek within it."
Hong Jun began his talk from the highest aspects of the Great Dao, and straight away sparked great interest among the immortals in the Nine-layered Heavenly Palace.
Especially regarding the last realm.
Primordial Chaos, Limitless, the Dao in the utmost void—it all sounds so sublime and marvelous!
And what did the Daoist Ancestor say?
He said he himself was seeking within it.
If the Daoist Ancestor as awesome as he is still explores within it, doesn't that make the Primordial Chaos Immortal seem even more awesome?
So, there is something even more powerful above Da Luo—an actual Primordial Chaos!
In an instant, countless immortals were filled with passion, full of confidence in the future of the Immortal Dao.
And the originator of the "Nine Immortals of Primordial Chaos"—The Three Pure Ones—exchanged glances, filled with utter astonishment.
[Did he really find the way to attain Primordial Chaos?] Jing Yao Venerable was perplexed. Wasn't this realm something Xuanqing made up to fool others?
Daoist Lord Yu Chen appeared thoughtful: [The utmost of the Limitless, the Dao in the utmost void, it sounds profoundly impressive.]
[What he wants is this profoundly impressive obscurity; otherwise, how could he possibly fool others?] Xuanqing communicated telepathically. Were it not for this realm being invented by him, he might actually have fallen for Hong Jun's words.
Jing Yao Venerable also caught on: [What he calls "the utmost of the Limitless, the Dao in the utmost void," might his inner dialogue actually be "nonsensical talks, elusive and indistinct, all that I speak is but gibberish"?]
[Very likely.] Daoist Lord Yu Chen nodded in agreement,
Because above Da Luo there are no realms, this Primordial Chaos realm is indeed a fabrication.
When Xuanqing made it up, he was either thinking of his own Primordial Chaos Cauldron or Jing Yao's Primordial Chaos Pill.
Unexpectedly, Hong Jun really rounded it out for himself.
[I truly admire this old Daoist, such skill at creating mysteries out of nothing.]
Xuanqing looked up at Hong Jun, who remained calm and composed on the high platform, seriously suspecting that the purpose of holding this Conference of Immortals was to turn fiction into reality!
Indeed, as a mighty being deeply versed in this way, Xuanqing acutely sensed Hong Jun's underlying intention.
Just like the Dragon Clan's fictional "Dragon of Destiny," or the Phoenix Clan's non-existent "Ancestor Yuan Feng."
The Primordial Chaos Immortal that Hong Jun speaks of must also be "nonexistent."
But what if Hong Jun were to harness the entire force of the Immortal Dao to stage a great act of "making the false into the true"?
Whether he truly attains it is irrelevant. As long as the immortals of the entire Immortal Dao and all the Primordial Gods believe in the existence of this realm, choosing to trust that Hong Jun is on the verge of achieving the Primordial Chaos Immortal.
Then, with Hong Jun's abilities as a Da Luo, perhaps he really could advance further!
[Perhaps, that is the real truth.] Numerous thoughts flashed through Xuanqing's mind.
He wanted to hear what else Hong Jun had to say about the Primordial Chaos Immortal.
Regrettably, Hong Jun only briefly spoke about the last three realms of the Nine Immortals of Primordial Chaos before bringing it to a close.
Next up was Yang Mei, to speak about the first six realms of the Nine Immortals of Primordial Chaos.
Yang Mei said: "The first six realms of the Nine Immortals of Primordial Chaos can be cultivated progressively together, or each can be deeply pursued individually. Ultimately, all lead to the doorway of the Great Dao, that is, the final three realms of the Immortal Dao."
"How does one cultivate together, and how does one deeply pursue?" The question was posed by Houtu, as it was her first time hearing about the system of immortality in the Immortal Dao, and thus she asked on behalf of all the immortals.
Yang Mei replied with a smile: "Similar to the paths of the Divine and the Ghost, the first three realms of the Nine Immortals of Primordial Chaos: Human, Earth, Heaven, and the middle three realms: True, Profound, Golden, all six paths can directly lead to the Great Dao when cultivated individually."
"However, if cultivators find it difficult to delve deeper while practicing alone, they can choose to draw from the strengths of all and climb progressively, merging the mysteries of the six paths to directly reach the doorway of Taiyi, hence cultivating into Da Luo, and realizing the way of Primordial Chaos."
Upon hearing this, Houtu fell into thought: "So, is it that if one cultivates individually, the first six realms of the Immortal Dao, along with the divine and ghostly paths, all eight paths can bring one to Da Luo and realize Primordial Chaos?"
"And if one practices together, then adding the method of merging the mysteries of the six paths makes nine paths leading to the Great Dao?"
"Indeed!"
Yang Mei stroked his beard and smiled with confidence.
"Now, let each trailblazer and immortal clarify the profundities within."
Just as Houtu was about to ask further, Yang Mei suddenly paused.
[I can only bluff up to this point, what follows is for you founders to show your unique prowess.] Yang Mei directly telepathically communicated to all of the founders.
He then turned his gaze to Xuanqing, Jing Yao, and Yu Chen.
[Understood.]
The Three Pure Ones smiled nonchalantly.
Bluff?
Absolutely unnecessary.
We are those with substance to our words!
There, they brought out the Heavenly Books and demonstrated to the immortals what it means to be a Da Luo Heavenly Immortal.
"I am Yu Qing Primordial Heavenly Venerate!"
"I am Taiqing Daoist Venerate!"
"I am Shangqing Lingbao Venerate!"
The three immortals had Immortal Light floating above their heads, with Five Qi converging, Three Flowers swaying as if uniting virtue with heaven and earth, embodying one with Taixu.
"What does it mean to be a Heavenly Immortal? This is what it means!"
Xuanqing held the Heavenly Book: "Heavenly Immortal by name implies needing to handle the Heavenly Dao, wielding the mandate of heaven!"
"My heart is the heart of heaven; my intent is the intent of heaven!"
"Only thus, one can be deemed a Heavenly Immortal!"
