Just as the Qilin Clan was vigorously preparing the Star God plan, preparations for the Ascension Ceremony were also underway on the Immortal Dao side.

Emperor Donghua, fully supported by Hong Jun, was filled with enthusiasm.

He was busy mobilizing his own forces from the Purple Mansion Continent and the True Immortal Dao, while actively recruiting major practitioners of Divine Skills.

The candidates for the Three Divine Emperors had been decided: Heaven Official Emperor for Qiankun, Earth Official Emperor for Yin Yang, and Water Official Emperor for Zhenwu.

Among the Five Olds of Five Directions, aside from the already determined [Central Yuan Spirit Yellow Elder—Huang Jiao Great Immortal] Ginseng Fruit Tree.

The rest were: [East Azure Spirit Ancestor] Nuwa, [South Red Spirit True Elder] Xi He, [West Bright Spirit Emperor Elder] Jieyin, [North Five Spirits Mysterious Elder] Kunpeng.

Thanks to Hong Jun's persuasion, and offering a supreme Spiritual Treasure—the West Plain-colored Cloud Realm Banner, Donghua also invited the Turquoise Pool to take charge overall, assisting in Yin and Yang.

For this, Donghua conferred a highly venerable title upon Turquoise Pool.

The full title is: Supreme Holy White Jade Turtle Platform・Nine Spirits Veritable Essence・Wu Ji Holy Mother・Turquoise Pool Great Saint・West Queen Golden Mother・Supreme Pure Spirit Primordial Lady・Sovereign Heavenly Venerate commanding All Immortals!

The Turquoise Pool was very pleased.

"This Donghua really knows how to do things ah!" Xuanqing received the request from Donghua, who claimed to be short of hands, needing assistance from both Heavenly Immortals and Ghost Immortals.

Then, Xuanqing dispatched Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi to help.

Not long after, Guang Chengzi returned to report that Donghua had honored him with a title.

"Green Mysterious Ancestor Qi Yu Qing Primordial Heavenly Venerate Supreme Miao Wushang Emperor!"

After hearing this, Xuanqing smiled and asked: "Then what titles did He give to your two martial uncles?"

Guang Chengzi replied: "I heard from A Niu that Supreme Martial Uncle's title is: Taiqing Immortal Realm Primordial Chaos Supreme Saint Dao De Heavenly Venerate Ultimate True Emperor."

Indeed, Donghua also invited the Green Bull from the Taishang family to help.

After A Niu arrived, he did nothing but proudly display ten plates of Purple Mansion Continent's special Immortal Mandarins.

Then he found out about his own master's title.

Chi Jingzi continued: "I heard from Duobao that Jade Zhen martial uncle's title is: Shangqing High Saint Supreme Jade Zhen Primordial Emperor Daoist Lord."

"If we hadn't declined, He would've wanted to confer titles upon us too," Guang Chengzi said with a helpless smile.

When Emperor Donghua met Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi, his eyes lit up, showering praises upon them.

After all, the quality of Xuanqing's disciples was so high, any of them released would be of Taiyi Level.

Who wouldn't be shocked and envious?

It's not surprising Emperor Donghua harbored ideas towards them.

Even the Green Bull from the Taishang family, Duobao from the Yu Chen family, Xuan Nü from the Turquoise Pool family, Flying Snake from the Nuwa family, Daoist Child from the Zhen Yuan family, Spirit Turtle from the Zhenwu family… due to their high talents, Emperor Donghua vehemently sought to win them over.

"For our Eight Vein Dao Lineage, Emperor Donghua has arranged some positions," Guang Chengzi continued: "Especially in the Thirty-Six Immortal Offices, He has established specific Immortal Positions for practitioners of each major Dao Fruit, set up Immortal Talismans, and planned Immortal Registers."

Xuanqing nodded, asking, "Anything else?"

Chi Jingzi added: "He has some other small ideas."

"For instance, regarding the Ascension Ceremony, He has suggested such an arrangement: all ascending Immortals should first pay respects to the West Queen Golden Mother, then to Emperor Donghua, and then to the heads of each major Immortal Vein."

"After the heads of each major Immortal Vein give their approval, the Immortals can then ascend to the Immortal Talisman, enrolled in the Immortal Register."

Guang Chengzi coldly laughed, "It seems like He gives the heads of the Immortal Veins autonomy, but He has also secured some say for Himself in each major Dharma Lineage, even placing the West Queen Mother in front to share the burden for Him."

The two disciples visited the Immortal Court and saw through Emperor Donghua's intentions in a glance.

"So that's how it is." Xuanqing softly nodded, something Donghua did not mention during the grand meeting.

Just became Immortal Emperor and already he's mischievous, trying to test their limits?

Or is this the intention of Hong Jun?

"Since he has actively taken up the task, let him handle it."

Xuanqing lightly moved on from the subject, "Let the Ascension Ceremony be conducted this way then."

He has always been somewhat lenient towards those Immortals who bear the brunt.

Taking up much now, spewing more later, it's of no great harm.

Almost at the same time, other Daoist Lords made the same decision.

They turned a blind eye to this arrangement, as if they hadn't noticed Emperor Donghua's manipulations.

Then something interesting happened.

Not long after, Emperor Donghua as if suddenly enlightened, quickly contacted each major Daoist Lord, expressing apologies.

"Previously, it was my mistake for conveying the wrong message; what I meant by the Ascension Ceremony referred to the Ascending Immortal Realm, not achieving immortality,"

"Absolutely no intentions of intercepting Qi Fortune from various lineages, please do not misunderstand."

Then the assembly of immortals cheerfully responded, "So that's the case, as immortals entering the Immortal Realm for appointments, it's only proper to first pay homage to the Immortal Emperor."

Quick thinking!

~~~~~

Immortal Realm, Court Meeting Hall.

Emperor Donghua breathed a sigh of relief: "That was close!"

He turned around, his expression grave as he faced the figure beside him, "Thank you, Daoist, for your guidance. Otherwise, a grave mistake would have almost occurred!"

Standing next to Emperor Donghua was an elder with a celestial air, holding a whisk and wearing a Daoist robe adorned with the Eight Diagrams, surrounded by a halo of purple aura.

"Managing myriad affairs daily, an occasional oversight is normal. Now that all matters are settled and you are at ease, even without my reminder, you would have comprehended the crux," Lord Lao Zi slightly smiled.

Emperor Donghua insisted, "It wasn't the merit of the esteemed Daoist; this time could have been troublesome,"

"The Dan Hall you requested has been arranged, housed within the Doulu Heavenly Palace, encapsulating a universe within, inherently containing the cosmos."

"Innate treasures, spiritual material treasure medicine, Daoist child Divine Generals, everything is fully equipped."

"I have arranged for all of the Immortal Realm's Immortal Pill supplies to be managed by you."

"If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility!"

Lord Lao Zi, upon hearing this, repeatedly exclaimed in approval.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

"Emperor, organize well; I shall pay a visit in a thousand years."

"How dare I!"

Emperor Donghua humbly replied, "The Immortal Court is always ready to welcome the esteemed Daoist's presence!"

After this crisis management, Lord Lao Zi had left a deep impression in Emperor Donghua's heart—reliable!

"In future, if there's an issue, perhaps I could consult the esteemed Daoist," Emperor Donghua thought to himself.

~~~~~

This minor episode did not impact the progress of the Ascension Conference.

Emperor Donghua continued to organize all matters methodically.

Soon, the day of the Ascension Ceremony arrived.

On this day, ethereal celestial music and infinite Dao light filled the Immortal Realm, with flowers raining chaotically and Earth Bursting Golden Lotus sprouting.

The eight gates of the Immortal Realm opened, officially connecting to the Immortal Dao Plane.

Above the expanse of time and space, the majestic gates of the Immortal Realm stood in all directions, with Ascension Heavenly Ladders extending toward various cosmos, casting their reflections across countless universes.

"Ascension Immortal Light, we have sensed the opportunity to ascend!"

"The Heavenly Ladder, it is the Heavenly Ladder!"

"We can ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

Immortals from the Immortal Dao Plane, who had long awaited this moment, finally saw its arrival.

In the Kunxu Great World, a giant Kunpeng, transformed into an immortal, faced the Ascension Immortal Light and climbed directly up the Heavenly Ladder into the Immortal Realm.

In the Eight Extremes Great World, cultivators from the Human Immortal Lineage directly broke through the void, ascending to the Immortal Realm.

In the Taixu Realm, Taixu Country saw both Heavenly Immortals ascending and Ghost Immortals emerging.

In the Shura Realm, several Asuras unexpectedly achieved the Golden Immortal status, attracting the attention of the Jieyin.

In the Dragon Clan-controlled Sleeping Dragon Small World, a True Dragon achieved True Immortality and also rode the Immortal Light to ascend.

Across numerous worlds and various cosmos, countless beams of Immortal Light surged at this moment toward the Immortal Realm.

Within the billions of Immortal Lights, Ancestor Dragon immediately spotted the True Dragon, extremely annoyed, grabbing it back instantly.

"Go to the True Dragon Pool for cleansing; what ascension to the Immortal Realm," Ancestor Dragon then ordered a thorough investigation of the Dragon Clan's universe, as the Immortal Dao had imperceptibly infiltrated their territory and this could not be tolerated.

Similarly, such incidents were occurring within other clans as well.
