What I teach you is real stuff.

Lu Yuan looked at the Lotus Prince.

So, after all that you've said, what have you found out?

The Lotus Prince whispered, "Senior Lu, do you know why so many Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals have gone into seclusion? It is said that the news sent back from beyond the heavens concerns... news about the Sainthood."

"The Holy Throne?" Lu Yuan was taken aback.

News of the sage?

The Lotus Prince nodded and said, "Senior should be familiar with the story of how the Dao Ancestor of Zixiao Palace preached and established six holy positions using six futons, right?"

What the Lotus Prince was referring to was the beginning of chaos, the primordial era, before the Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao. He accumulated merit and spread his teachings throughout the world, inviting the immortals of the early primordial era to listen to his lectures at Zixiao Palace. This is the famous story of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace.

At that time, six futons were placed in the position closest to Hongjun. Initially, all the immortals thought that the six futons were just a symbol of status and strength. Those with strong strength would naturally sit in the first row, so apart from a few top immortals, no one competed for them.

But no one expected that the six prayer cushions were six sacred positions, and only those who sat on them could become saints and obtain the foundation for sainthood, the Primordial Purple Qi.

At that time, the six holy positions were occupied by Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin. Therefore, the six saints returned to their positions, and together with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun who was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, there were a total of seven great saints.

That is, the top combat power in the immortal realm.

Because the rules of a world have limits, the number of top-tier powerhouses that can be born is also limited, not to mention saints.

Although the Great Dao and the power of the world in the Immortal Realm are powerful, they can only support a maximum of six Saintly positions. It was only after Hongjun merged with the Dao that one more Saintly position was made available, which is why seven Saints were able to be created.

After the Six Sages returned to their positions, from the primordial world to the present Immortal Realm, many talented individuals and top-tier powerhouses have emerged since then.

For example, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, Dipankara Buddha, Tathagata Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...

Another example is Styx Ancestor and Zhen Yuanzi, who were quasi-saints and powerful beings from the same period as the Three Pure Ones.

However, because the number of saints was full, no one could take that step to become a new saint. After the Six Saints, no matter how powerful everyone became, they were ultimately stuck at the Quasi-Saint level.

Below the level of a sage, all are but ants. Without becoming a sage, one can never escape the chessboard and will ultimately remain a pawn in the grand scheme of things. Everyone wants to transcend, but the path to transcendence has already been closed.

Recently, news came from above that there might be new saintly positions available in the immortal realm. As a result, so many quasi-saints and even great Luo golden immortals have gone into seclusion, vying for the opportunity and fearing that they might miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because a sage who embodies the Way of Heaven will not perish. Normally, the position of a sage is fixed and unchanging, but if a sage does not die, the position of a sage will not be vacant.

Normally, unless a sage transcends this world and leaves chaos to go to another chaos like the Great Immortal Yangmei.

Or perhaps Hongjun separated from the Heavenly Dao, transcended chaos, and then one of the Six Sages merged with the Heavenly Dao, leaving an empty position.

A holy position will not automatically become available if no one leaves.

The message from above that a new sage has appeared is already an unexpected situation.

Who wouldn't fight for it?
Who wouldn't seize any opportunity given even the slightest chance?
Don't say you don't fight or compete; that's because you didn't have the chance before. Now that you have the chance, aren't you the one rushing in the fastest and grabbing the most fiercely?

The Lotus Prince said, "I heard that almost all of the 36 Buddhas of Buddhism, except for a very few, have gone into seclusion to adjust their state, waiting for the day when the opportunity to become a saint will appear. It will probably be very lively."

As the Lotus Prince spoke, longing was evident in his eyes.

After all, he was a saint!
Becoming a saint signifies transcending the immortal realm, completely escaping the immortal path, and becoming a truly immortal and invincible being under the heavenly law, unyielding through countless eons, immortal through countless eons, not entering the cycle of reincarnation, and with one's true spirit never dissipating.

Who doesn't want to become a saint? Although Prince Lotus's strength was average, not even considered first-rate in the Chan Sect, he also longed to become a saint. He was captivated just by hearing the word "saint".

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, remained clear-headed.

Saint?
Everyone naturally aspires to become a Heavenly Saint, and Lu Yuan is no exception. However, he clearly knows that the elusive Sainthood is currently too far away for him. Even if there were a chance to become a Saint recently, it wouldn't have much to do with him.

After all, Lu Yuan's cultivation has only just broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, and he is still several major realms away from becoming a Saint.

Above the Golden Immortals are the Taiyi Golden Immortals and the Daluo Golden Immortals.

Then there are Quasi-Saints, and only those above Quasi-Saints have the potential to become Saints.

Even if a holy position were truly placed before Lu Yuan, he would not be qualified to reach for it.

So this matter is currently meaningless and has little to do with him.

But to say they're completely unrelated isn't entirely true...

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Today's meal wasn't a waste of time; at least I got some really useful information from Prince Lotus. According to Prince Lotus, most of the Quasi-Saints and Top-Tier Grand Luo Immortals from the major powers are currently in seclusion, all focused on plotting for that elusive Sainthood.

Does this also mean that in the current Immortal Realm, Quasi-Saints and top-tier Grand Luo Immortals are not appearing?

That's interesting. The fact that top-tier Grand Luo Immortals and Quasi-Saints are all going into seclusion to preserve their peak strength means that they are invincible in the Immortal Realm at this point in time.

After all, although Lu Yuan's current realm is Golden Immortal, if he goes all out, he can be said to be invincible below the Great Luo realm.

While ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals are difficult to defeat, they cannot kill you even if they want to.

Currently, the only beings in the Immortal Realm capable of punishing him are top-tier Grand Luo Immortals, Quasi-Saints, and Saints.

But now that all three types of people are busy, Lu Yuan immediately felt that an opportunity had come.

Previously, they were afraid that the top experts of various forces would target their businesses, but now that those experts are all vying for the Saintly position, who cares about this little bit of business in the Immortal Realm?

Then it's time for Lu Yuan to enter.

For top experts, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; for Lu Yuan, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Seize this opportunity to expand the market in the Immortal Realm. Before those powerful beings can react, promote the business and make a fortune.

By the time they realized what was happening, Lu Yuan had already made a fortune.

For him, immortal crystals are like system points; as long as he has enough immortal crystals, he can exchange them for more points.

With points, you have everything.

Ancestral Beast Technique, Sea of ​​Laws...

You can even use points or immortal crystals to cultivate directly and improve your strength faster.

By the time those powerful figures realize what's happening, Lu Yuan will probably no longer be afraid of them at all.

Lu Yuan stood up and said to the Lotus Prince, "The information you brought today is very useful to me. Thank you."

The Lotus Prince is indeed a good person. Although there was a grudge in the past, it was many years ago, and Lu Yuan no longer cares about it.

The Lotus Prince did indeed bring important news this time, which will make it easier for Lu Yuan to make the next extremely important plans.

Seeing the attitude of this Senior Lu, the Lotus Prince also stood up excitedly.

He knew this information would definitely be useful to this Senior Lu, and hearing Senior Lu's gratitude, Crown Prince Lotus knew he had done a good job. He stood up and said, "Senior Lu, you're too kind. It's what I should do." Lu Yuan nodded and said, "However, is your information reliable?"

Lu Yuan checked it one last time.

The Lotus Prince said earnestly, "I have already asked many of my elders in the Chan Sect about this information. Although my strength in the Chan Sect is not that great, my background is quite good. You can completely trust me; this information is absolutely true."

The Lotus Prince said that you may not believe in my strength and talent, but you can absolutely believe in my background.

Although his strength and talent were average in the Chan Sect.

But his background was indeed good, belonging to the lineage of Taiyi Zhenren, who was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and even the favorite disciple of the Chan Sect's founder, Yuanshi Tianzun.

To find out if the news was true or false, Prince Lotus even went so far as to subtly inquire about it directly with Master Taiyi, only to discover that Master Taiyi was a big mouth.

Could the information revealed by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect be false?

Lu Yuan nodded: "That's good."

The Lotus Prince continued, "Senior, what do you think about my joining the Human Sect...?"

Although Prince Lotus had a good background in the Chan Sect and could exchange a few words with Taiyi Zhenren, he was ultimately limited by his own potential and strength and was never given any important position in the Chan Sect.

To put it bluntly, the Chan Sect still values ​​strength too much. If he continues to stay in the Chan Sect, he will only be seen as a "good-for-nothing descendant" in the eyes of the Chan Sect elders. Because they know he is not very capable, they do not expect to cultivate him.

In recent years, the resources available within the Chan Sect have become increasingly scarce, especially after the senior disciple of the Human Sect, Jiang Ming, and the Buddhist disciple Longma have all left.

The higher-ups within the Chan Sect also felt greater pressure. In recent years, resources have become more centrally allocated, and ordinary elite disciples like the Lotus Prince have become increasingly marginalized, receiving fewer resources and being less valued.

The Lotus Prince wanted to seek a breakthrough, and he could only do so by stepping outside his own framework. He had always been optimistic about the Human Sect, so the Lotus Prince focused all his efforts on getting closer to Lu Yuan.

As for the news of betraying the Chan Sect, there is no such thing.

The news that he sold it wasn't particularly important to the Chan Sect, and it wasn't detrimental to them.

In Prince Lotus's view, this news would eventually become known to the world; it's just that the outside world is unaware of it yet.

The Lotus Prince rubbed his hands together and looked at Lu Yuan with hopeful eyes.

He had long wanted to follow Lu Yuan, and the information he provided this time cost him a lot of effort, and it seemed to be quite useful to this senior Lu.

So Prince Lotus took the opportunity to ask, "Can you take me along now?"

Lu Yuan looked at the Lotus Prince and pondered for a moment.

Although this Lotus Prince is a bit of a simpleton and not very smart, he is at least reliable in his work and is definitely better than Chen Nanxuan.

I'm currently short-handed, and my control over the Immortal Realm is always limited.

No matter what, this Lotus Prince was a disciple of the Chan Sect, an elite disciple, and someone with status, background, and position.

Next, Lu Yuan plans to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop his strength significantly, and he might need to utilize the resources controlled by the Lotus Prince.

So the Lotus Prince was indeed useful.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan said, "You've already made up your mind to go out on your own? If you come with me, I can't guarantee how far you'll go in the future."

Although he did not receive any guarantee from Lu Yuan, for some reason, Crown Prince Lotus had a persistent feeling that he could gain more benefits by following this Senior Lu.

He nodded: "Senior Lu, my mind is made up. I am not given important positions in the Chan Sect, and it is time for me to leave. As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely do my best."

There's no need to strive for extraordinary achievements in the future; as long as things are better than they are now, that's enough.

The Lotus Prince is similar to some rich second-generation kids on Earth.

Although his family was wealthy and powerful, he had many brothers, and each of them was more successful than him. As a result, his parents focused all their attention on his other brothers.

Prince Lotus was the kind of child who was left to his own devices at home. No one had high hopes for him, and the hope of revitalizing the family was never placed on him. He was not valued at home and could not find any purpose in life.

So he preferred to go out on his own, hoping to achieve something that would change his family's opinion of him.

Lu Yuan said, "Since you've already made up your mind, fine, then come with me. I can't promise you anything else, but I can promise you the title of Taiyi Golden Immortal."

With Lu Yuan's current abilities, he can't promise anything else, but helping someone reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal level is indeed not difficult.

Although he himself has not yet reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he has too many means to help others reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

If all else fails, he can be saved by refining pills and giving him medicine. This is what Lu Yuan can promise him in exchange for working for the Lotus Prince.

The Lotus Prince is currently at the Xuanxian realm. With his abilities, it would be a miracle if he could break through to the Jinxian realm in the future.

Now that Lu Yuan had promised him the title of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the Lotus Prince was naturally overjoyed.

Having received Lu Yuan's promise, Crown Prince Lotus thought he had made the right gamble this time.

It seems that betting on this Senior Lu was definitely the right decision!
If I can truly break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, I will be able to surpass others when I return to the Chan Sect in the future.

After all, how many Taiyi Golden Immortals are there in the entire Chan Sect? The number of such top-level experts is ultimately limited.

Lu Yuan took the Lotus Prince and left, returning to the Jade Heaven Kingdom.

He summoned his disciples, and once Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, Zhang Feifei, Jinjiao Wang, and others were all present, Lu Yuan began to discuss serious matters.

He broke through to the Golden Immortal realm and secluded himself for nearly ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years have passed in the Immortal Realm, and Lu Yuan's disciples from the lower planes have all ascended to this realm.

People like Yao Xuan, Zi Ni, and Jin Ji, along with several Mahayana cultivators from the Northern Continent Alliance of the Azure Sky World, also began to ascend one after another.

These were originally Lu Yuan's old subordinates from the Northern Continent Alliance of the Azure Sky World Plane. After they came to the Immortal Realm, apart from a few who chose to join the Heavenly Court on their own, they were all gone.

The rest had nowhere else to go, so they were all brought here by King Jinjiao and the others to continue working with Alliance Leader Lu. They are all gathered here now. Although these people are not disciples, they are all trusted confidants who have been following him since the lower realm.

The elders of the Alchemist Alliance were also there. They came over as soon as they heard that Lu Yuan intended to expand his influence in the Immortal Realm.

Although these alchemist alliance elders are weak in strength, they have good relationships in the immortal realm and can be of assistance.

The people standing before Lu Yuan now represent all the people he can currently mobilize, the core team he has for his official business and development in the Immortal Realm.

Seeing that Prince Lotus was also there, Xiao Huang inquired about his situation.

Lu Yuan said that the Lotus Prince is now considered one of his own, as he has basically broken away from the Chan Sect. As for the past, it is all in the past and there is no need to pursue it.

Since the teacher said so, Xiao Huang and the others naturally had no objections.

Now let's get down to business. (End of Chapter)
