This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 498 One Qi Transforms into Three Emperors
Daluo Heaven.

Xiang Yuan was completely immersed in the principles of the Heavenly Dao. Although he could not directly integrate into the origin of the Heavenly Dao, in the Qianyuan Realm, he was more like the Heavenly Emperor than Ji Wuzhou. His recognition by the Heavenly Dao far surpassed that of Ji Wuzhou.

The reason, upon closer examination, boils down to two words: scheming.

To put it another way, it's called a stroke of luck.

At this moment, Xiang Yuan held a list in his hand, looking at the names on it. Sometimes he frowned and remained silent, and sometimes he shook his head repeatedly. If you added a red pen, he would look exactly like a teacher grading homework.

Standing next to him was Ji Wuzhou, who was handing in his homework.

"Disciple, is there anything wrong with this list?"

Ji Wuzhou was dressed in a golden imperial robe. Clothes make the man, which saved him from his lazy and unambitious appearance. As long as he didn't look gloomy, he looked quite wise and powerful at first glance.

"There are too many problems, for example, this..."

Xiang Yuan pointed to the Six Emperors, who held the highest divine positions, and nodded at the title of the Heavenly Emperor: "In my opinion, the Heavenly Emperor should not exist in the Qianyuan Realm."

Rumble!
Thunder rumbled and exploded in Ji Wuzhou's ears, making him feel terrible.

No, disciple, you've already usurped the position of Heavenly Emperor from your master, and now you don't even intend to leave the position to me?

This is my last fig leaf; if I tear it off, I'll have no face left at all.

Ji Wuzhou's face fell, his expression filled with bitterness under the harsh reality, so bitter that he managed to conjure up the look of a Buddhist monk.

"Master, please don't misunderstand. Your disciple doesn't want to usurp the throne. Only if you take on this unfortunate job of the Heavenly Emperor will everyone be convinced."

Xiang Yuan knew that Ji Wuzhou had misunderstood: "What I mean is that the title of Heavenly Emperor is too lofty and not down-to-earth enough. It makes me seem superior to everyone else. We need to change to a more approachable title."

Ji Wuzhou was taken aback: "The title has changed... but isn't the Heavenly Emperor still the Heavenly Emperor? What's the difference?"

"A difference in attitude!"

Xiang Yuan nodded solemnly. Ji Wuzhou had no destiny. Among all the heavens, he was undoubtedly the weakest Heavenly Emperor, firmly at the bottom of the list, and undisputedly number one.

An emperor without the Mandate of Heaven cannot control the Three Realms, nor can he fight against other emperors. If any Heavenly Court attacks, the opposing emperor can beat Ji Wuzhou to a pulp.

If he were even bolder, Ji Wuzhou wouldn't be able to defeat even the avatars of the other Heavenly Emperors.

In this situation, Ji Wuzhou only needs to be an approachable and easygoing emperor, while the shareholders behind the scenes have many other things to consider.

To avoid upsetting shareholders, the title "Heavenly Emperor" is too offensive. It would be better to change it to "Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven" or "Central Jade Emperor," which is commonly known as the Jade Emperor.

The full name is too long, so I won't go into detail here.

Ji Wuzhou still didn't understand, and said frankly, "Disciple, the other shareholders all give you face. Whether they are satisfied or not is just a matter of your word, isn't it?"

The way you're saying it makes me sound like a gigolo who lives off women.

That's one thing to say, but that's not how you should say it!
Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes: "Master, even a lazy bum should have dreams. Although Qianyuan Realm is just a makeshift operation, it won't stay that way forever. Many more shareholders will join in the future. As the Heavenly Emperor, you must adopt a humble attitude. Only when you fail will the shareholders stand up for themselves."

After hearing Xiang Yuan's words, Ji Wuzhou roughly understood what was going on, but then a new question arose: "Where can we find those shareholders?"

"I don't know, let's see how it goes!"

Xiang Yuan shrugged. He had no idea where to find these shareholders. All he knew was that with so many schemes against him, the investors would never let him off the hook.

Perhaps, without us even having to look for them, the shareholders will come knocking on our door, clamoring to join the big family and build a harmonious and beautiful new world together.

If you don't accept their surrender, they'll start a war, forcibly taking you prisoner, and then act as if you're completely at their mercy.

This is the most optimistic view. As for the specific situation, Xiang Yuan is not clear about it and therefore cannot give Ji Wuzhou an accurate answer.

But preparing in advance and adopting a humble attitude is definitely the right thing to do.

Ji Wuzhou was a lazy bum, and his obsession with the title of Heavenly Emperor was entirely due to being manipulated. He became the Heavenly Emperor after just one night's sleep, completely bewildered. He felt a sense of accomplishment, but not much. His obsession with the title of Heavenly Emperor was purely out of vanity.

He always felt inferior in front of his apprentices, and longed to have a moment of glory and prominence.

It's a little difficult. The Heavenly Dao stands on the far side, and the order of the Three Realms is stable on the far side. He, the Heavenly Emperor, is just a more majestic mascot. Even the division of divine positions requires the far side to nod in approval before the Heavenly Dao will proceed.

It's really heartbreaking!

Ji Wuzhou sighed. He couldn't stand up for himself before, he can't stand up for himself now, and he'll probably have a hard time standing up for himself in the future.

"My worthy disciple, is this Heavenly Emperor of yours...?"

"Yes!"

"Uh, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Ji Wuzhou rolled his eyes. "Jade Emperor it is. Anyway, I don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor. Changing the title is my wish. I can get out of the shadow of being the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor and live my own life."

Xiang Yuan raised his hand and argued with the Heavenly Dao for a while, successfully erasing the title of Heavenly Emperor and changing his name to Jade Emperor.

Could it be that this Heavenly Emperor, who has such little prestige, really got beaten up by the Monkey King?

Xiang Yuan thought to himself, then continued to make Ji Wuzhou listen to his discussion: "Master, I am the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower... are you serious?"

Ji Wuzhou nodded. He didn't know any of this. He only knew that Zhang Tianyang had promised benefits. As long as Xiang Yuan defected and joined him, he could be called the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower and the Great Savior of Suffering.

Xiang Yuan remained silent for a moment. He first learned that he was destined to be the god of the Eastern Azure Emperor in the Heavenly God Realm. The shameless Heavenly Emperor had promised him this godhood, but King Frieza refused.

The king's meaning is that getting too involved and harming himself is not an option; a token gesture from the True Martial Emperor would suffice.

In the Celestial Realm, the Eastern Azure Emperor is one of the Six Emperors, and his involvement is quite deep. In the Qianyuan Realm...

Xiang Yuan glanced at the Heavenly Dao Laws in his hand, then looked at the easy-going Heavenly Dao beside him. The involvement was far too deep; he was completely immersed in it. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the man behind the Heavenly Emperor.

If that's the case, he can just accept the temporary position of Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole.

However, having grown accustomed to being the True Martial Emperor, he felt uncomfortable with someone else taking the position, feeling like he was being bullied. So, he decided to take on the role of the True Martial Emperor part-time and occupy the spot as well.

Ji Wuzhou had no objection, and neither did Heaven. After the name was written, two more divine positions immediately appeared in Xiang Yuan's body.

With a thought, the two divine positions, each possessing their own divine power, could project an independent clone, even though they were incompatible.

If it's so convenient, wouldn't Xiang be able to achieve everything in one step, holding the positions of five emperors and six ministers simultaneously, ensuring that the Jade Emperor's edicts wouldn't even leave the Lingxiao Palace?

Xiang Yuan thought to himself, then looked down and saw that Ji Wuzhou had already arranged everything for him without him having to lift a finger.

"Master, what does this 'Gouchen Shanggong Heavenly Emperor' mean?"

"You have a demon-summoning banner."

Ji Wuzhou gave a concise answer: the Demon-Summoning Banner didn't really favor him, the Heavenly Emperor, and only allowed Xiang Yuan to use it. Taking advantage of the situation, he would transfer the divine position of the Gouchen Upper Palace Heavenly Emperor to Xiang Yuan's name, which would make him look more respectable.

Xiang Yuan frowned. His reasoning was sound and he couldn't refuse. In that case, he would gladly play the role of a god.

Heaven had no objection, and yet another divine position fell into Xiang Yuan's body.

Although it's not the Three Pure Ones from One Qi, it's still pretty awesome to have the Three Emperors from One Qi!
"Xiao He, Venus..."

Xiang Yuan's eyes twitched, and he looked at Ji Wuzhou with dissatisfaction: "Master, I know you admire Xiao He and think that this shameless brain of yours is very useful, but he is, after all, my sworn brother, and also my brother-in-law. Whatever god you appoint him to, he will become that god. What will others think? Will they think that the Jade Emperor is nepotistic? Does the Heavenly Court still have any fairness and justice?"

“Disciple, you made the arrangements, not I.”

"That's even more unfair!"

Xiang Yuan immediately rejected the idea. Seeing Xiao He happily ascend to a divine position and gain divine power, becoming incredibly powerful and influential, made him even more upset than if he hadn't been able to live off a woman.

"What does my disciple mean?"

"In the early days of the Heavenly Court, stabilizing people's hearts is of utmost importance. In my opinion, Xiao He should be allowed to go through hardships, blah blah blah... Wait a minute... In the end, he will become Venus through his own efforts!" Xiang Yuan said with a serious face.

"It's different!"

Ji Wuzhou was utterly speechless. "Taking off your pants to fart is pointless," he thought, "it's all unnecessary."

"It's different; we've created the illusion of fair competition!"

"..."

Forget it, you clearly just want to beat him up, and then you expect him to thank you afterward.

Ji Wuzhou saw through Xiang Yuan's sinister intentions at a glance. Since it wasn't his bad luck, he shrugged and said nothing more.

Xiang Yuan glanced at the subsequent divine positions and left them entirely to Ji Wuzhou's arrangement, offering no objections whatsoever.

After reviewing the arrangement of all the deities, Xiang Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture, temporarily concealing the position of Guanyin of the South Pole among the Five Elders of the Five Directions. After thinking for a moment, he also concealed the positions of the Buddha of the West.

Hiding Guanyin in the South Pole—what more can be said? He's thinking about conquering the Heavenly Realm one day to marry—no, to bring back the Guanyin Bodhisattva he considers most ideal.

Western Buddhism and Taoism...

Xiang Yuan's intuition told him that this divine position was significant and should not be arranged lightly. He should put it aside for now, create a hiding place for the Jade Emperor under the table, and use a Journey to the West filming studio as bait. Maybe that would actually lure out Mount Ling.

Hmm, that sounds promising.

"Disciple, these two are crucial divine positions. Arranging them in advance will greatly benefit the Three Realms." Ji Wuzhou spoke of the importance of having a full complement of divine positions. When the Heavenly Court is full, the Heavenly Emperor's divine power will grow stronger. Similarly, the Six Emperors at the top of the pyramid will also see a significant increase in their divine power.

"No, it's easier to recruit people when there are vacancies."

Xiang Yuan had his own opinion. He said that he had so many schemes, including those involving Buddhism, and the other party would definitely come looking for him.

Let's put it aside for now and let the bullets fly for a while!

The Heavenly Dao has entrusted the power to arrange the divine positions to Xiang Yuan. Who is capable and who is not is entirely up to him. He told Ji Wuzhou to be patient, and perhaps a pleasant surprise would come to his door.

Then, Xiang Yuan thought of something: "Master, don't you think the Thirty-Six Heavens are missing something?"

"what?"

"The Three Pure Ones!"

"..."

Ji Wuzhou's eye twitched. Although he was not ordained by Heaven, as the Heavenly Emperor, he had a very bad impression of the Three Pure Ones. He hurriedly said, "Disciple, if the Heavenly Court has the Three Pure Ones, whether the Three Realms are in chaos or not will not be up to you to decide."

Be confident! You are the Jade Emperor. Whether the Three Realms are in chaos or not is, in principle, up to you!
Xiang Yuan raised his hand and touched his chin. He also knew that the Three Pure Ones were not to be trifled with. It was easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. This was perfectly illustrated in the Heavenly God Realm.

The shameless Heavenly Emperor, for the sake of the Journey to the West filming location, gritted his teeth and created a character named Laozi. But Laozi found him through the internet and did whatever he wanted, completely disregarding whether the Heavenly Emperor could tolerate it. If creating one Laozi was this difficult, imagine what would happen if he created all three Pure Ones.

But then again, you can't just refuse these three. The first Heavenly Emperor of the ancient Heavenly Court was killed by these three. Do you really think this makeshift troupe can get internet access just because they want to come visit?

Hilarious! Even without an internet connection, people can still get in.

If there's no skylight, we'll rip your roof off!
Even if we take a step back, the Qianyuan Realm has no shortage of the Three Pure Ones' lineage; they've already laid the network cable.

The Northern Qi Benxin Dao is a lineage of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, while the Western Chu Qingxu Sect is a lineage of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun. Although they are fictional deities existing only in novels, they are linked to Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and their relationship is inextricably intertwined.

There is no clear lineage of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality in the Qianyuan Realm. At least Xiang Yuan is not sure if there is a clear lineage. However, the Lesser Morality View is flourishing everywhere. The Supreme Lord Laozi even mentioned this matter across realms, which shows that he was aware of the existence of the Qianyuan Realm.

If that's the case, why not take the initiative to invite the gods and make yourself look more respectable?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yuan raised his hand and pointed, and three more illusory figures immediately appeared in the Thirty-Six Heavens.

Jade Pure God, Primordial Heavenly Venerable!
Shangqing Shangdi, Lingbao Tianzun!
The Great Emperor Taiqing, the Celestial Venerable of Morality!
There are too many versions of the story about these three brothers, and Xiang Yuan is confused about who the eldest brother is. Therefore, he doesn't rank them in any particular order and also created a false impression so that they can find him through the internet.

One step at a time, directly achieving the Three Purifications, without using aliases or incarnations.

Sure enough, the moment the three phantoms appeared, the Tushita Palace rose from the ground, the old ox buried its head in grass, and Laozi took out a futon, sat down, and started heating the boiler.

No, it's the Six Ding Divine Fire rising from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, which is probably used to refine high-grade products like the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Ji Wuzhou gasped in shock. The Jade Emperor, whose throne was already in jeopardy, was now in even worse shape, and his brother's position was even more secure.

"My disciple, is this really a good idea?"

"What else can you do but resist?"

Xiang Yuan didn't take it seriously. These three weren't people you could avoid at will. Any one of them could be both intelligent and brave, and if they formed a group, they would be invincible. It would be pointless to lower yourself to their level.

So, at first glance, this seems like setting a difficult task for yourself, but in reality, it's giving yourself a break.

Regardless of whether these three are rare or not, Xiang Yuan thought that it was a good thing that Qianyuan Realm had three more major shareholders.

Even if there are downsides...

Look, isn't the Jade Emperor standing in front of us?

Three great deities were invited, and Xiang Yuan repeatedly used his finger to send the Queen Mother of the West's divine position to Wushuang Palace. He then carried water and sent Houtu Huangdi, one of the Six Emperors, to Jianxinzhai.

In this way, the two powerful women are evenly matched, and when they fight, they are still evenly matched, with neither able to defeat the other.

It won't be one-sided, and no one will be arrested, taken home, and locked in a basement.

This is sure!

"Disciple, about this Queen Mother of the West..."

Ji Wuzhou's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "The Jade Pool and the Peaches of Immortality in West Kunlun are both excellent things, and they also have an inextricable connection with the Heavenly Court. They could be the Queen Mother of the West, the mother of the world."

Xiangyuan: (一''一)
No, why are you all, the Heavenly Emperors, all thinking about turning female shareholders into the Queen Mother of the West?

Just as Xiang Yuan was about to complain, Ji Wuzhou spoke quickly: "Disciple, don't misunderstand. Your master knows you're living off the Queen Mother of the West. Bah, you and the Queen Mother of the West are in love. Your master didn't mean anything by it. It's just that the treasures of West Kunlun do indeed have an inextricable connection with the Heavenly Court..."

Ji Wuzhou's words roughly mean that he should try his best to sleep with Bai Wuyan until she was completely drunk, so that he could move Yaochi and the Peach Garden to the Heavenly Court.

Xiang Yuan didn't hear what was said next. Inspired by Ji Wuzhou, his thoughts wandered, and he suddenly thought of something very important.

Myths and deities are not static; after complex evolution and version changes, the identities of some deities will undergo significant changes.

In the degenerate age without gods, these myths are just for show and don't need to be taken seriously. But if one cultivates immortality and sees the real Heavenly Court, these myths are no longer just simple fabrications.

Take the Queen Mother of the West as an example. The claim that she secretly met with King Mu of Zhou in West Kunlun and spent several days in bed with him is 99% a rumor. Just have a laugh about it.

But in the Lower Abyss, this legend came to life, and King Mu of Zhou even had a pretty face...

Whether the rumors came first and then became real legends, or whether the bed accident came first and then the rumors spread, Xiang Yuan was completely baffled. He only knew that after descending to the Abyss Realm, the White Palace Lord's temper became even more difficult to please.

Furthermore, regarding the evolution of Xi Wangmu's identity in mythology, she transformed from an independent goddess who controlled the elixir of immortality into the Queen Mother of the West in heaven.

In some versions, the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor are husband and wife, while in others they are just ordinary colleagues.

In some versions, the Queen Mother of the West corresponds to the King Father of the East, with the former being the head of female immortals and the latter the head of male immortals. There are also rumors that their relationship is not just that of colleagues.

In short, there are many evolved versions of the Queen Mother of the West, and her methods are quite unconventional.

Xiang Yuande reminded Ji Wuzhou that he had overlooked an important piece of information.

The shameless Heavenly Emperor and the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, these two ingrates both covet his pure and innocent Master Jingyun to become the Queen Mother of the West, and shamelessly claim that their destinies are compatible.

Xiang Yuan didn't think much of it at the time. When it came to the saying "no boat in the economy," it seemed that only the Queen Mother of the West was the one whose fate best matched that of the Queen Mother of the West.

If Frieza's final transformation is the Queen Mother of the West, then what about Bai Wuyan, the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West?

Are they from different worlds?

Just as there are different Heavenly Emperors and different Guanyin Bodhisattvas among the heavens?

On second thought, Laozi once made up a story that he and Master Jingyun had a predestined marriage, and then... in the Lower Abyss Realm, the pretty boy King Mu of Zhou ended up living off the Queen Mother of the West.

It matches up!!!
Xiang Yuan's eyes gleamed with a sharp light; he was already eighty percent certain that Master Jingyun, who sat atop Mount Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm for 365 days a year, was ultimately the Queen Mother of the West. His repeated suicide attempts weren't because he disliked his precious disciple's ambitious schemes, but because he realized their destiny was sealed and was looking for an excuse to deal with this destined person.

Jingyun has the Azure Phoenix Fairy by her side, and Bai Wuyan has the Green Bamboo Shadow by her side; both ride Azure Phoenixes. This is an unparalleled configuration, and it is definitely not just a simple coincidence.

The Queen Mother of the West has had more than one incarnation; both of them are the Queen Mother of the West!
The question is, what would happen if the Heavenly Emperors met and fought each other to the death; if Guanyin Bodhisattva met and discussed Buddhist teachings, with each being intertwined with the other; and if the reincarnations of the Queen Mother of the West met, what would be the outcome?
Xiang Yuan thought about it and realized that both Bai Wuyan and Jing Yun seemed to have aloof and cold demeanor, and looked down on everyone...

When these two meet, it's likely that, just like with the Heavenly Emperor, whoever wins will be the master.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yuan frowned. One was his beloved master, and the other was his rich wife. They were both his flesh and blood, and it would be bad for either of them to win or lose.

Can't we all live together peacefully?

Xiang Yuan, who had originally been thinking about conquering the Celestial Realm, suddenly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore.

"Forget it, let's think about the future later!"

Xiang Yuan rubbed his temples. He had had a fruitful day. That was the end of it. There were some things he couldn't really control. He could only wait and see.

……

Two days later, Xiang Yuan walked out of the Great Luo Heaven, his spirit full.

Deducing the order of the three realms is something no human can do, especially without help; it exhausted him.

Let alone the donkeys of the production team, even a nuclear-powered donkey wouldn't be able to withstand such devastation.

Xiang Yuan distanced himself from the situation and told the stinky salted fish to act like the Heavenly Emperor, instead of letting his disciple take the lead in everything. If uninformed people saw this, it would cause misunderstandings, and they might think that he was the Heavenly Emperor!

Despite the exhaustion, Xiang Yuan had gained a great deal in the Great Luo Heaven. His small world encompassed the laws and principles of a realm, and in the process of deducing the order of the three realms, his inner world cultivation reached its peak simultaneously. It was time for him to make a trip to the Desolate Ancient Realm and achieve a fusion of his inner and outer worlds at the level of devouring the heavens and earth.

Before that, I'll first visit my own dojo to see what the new disciples look like.

The three divine positions of the Eastern Azure Flower Emperor, the Gouchen Upper Palace Heavenly Emperor, and the True Martial Emperor each hold a large number of secondary divine positions. He is known as a hands-off manager who does not do everything himself, so his subordinates must work hard.

"If only there were two secretaries, especially Bai Ze. She's the real nuclear-powered donkey. She works herself to death during the day, and at night she doesn't even need to be fed. Just touching her legs is enough to make her happy for half a day."

Xiang Yuan missed his secretaries, but he had no one around him and wished he could poach two secretaries from the Heavenly Realm right now.

The rotten and pathetic Heavenly God Realm has nothing to do with him. No matter how well it develops, it will only benefit the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor. The Qianyuan Realm is different. It has sidelined the Heavenly Emperor and is basically his property.

When Xiang Yuan obtained his divine position, three Daoist temples naturally sprang up in the world. The Qingyun Sect moved directly to Wudang Mountain in the Southern Continent, eagerly awaiting the orders of their patriarch. They only wanted to burn themselves to illuminate the thirty-six golden palaces so that their patriarch could live in a mansion and drive a luxury car.

Without much thought, Xiang Yuan retained the divine positions of ten generals and left the rest to the Qingyun Sect, letting Qingyang and Ziyang, the two tortoise and snake generals, decide how to distribute them.

The remaining ten divine positions will be merged with those of the Celestial Realm; there's no rush for now.

The two female secretaries shouldn't act like the tortoise and snake generals anymore; with such long legs, it's a waste not to use them on their desks.

Moreover, since they'll be placed on three desks in the future, even if they're given the divine positions of the Tortoise and Snake Generals, they won't have the energy to go out and fight.

The Heavenly Emperor of Gouchen Palace, the demon race of Qianyuan Realm will automatically refresh and be willing to obey the Demon Emperor's orders.

Xiang Yuan saw Yue Huanjiang and, adhering to the principle of nepotism, promoted and gave him important positions. However, because Yue Huanjiang's position in the family was only average, and Qu Rou referred to him as her husband and disciple, he didn't even have to apply for a higher position. The divine position falling into his hands was no different from falling into the hands of his master's wife.

Xiang Yuanxian... was extremely contemptuous. Fearing that Yue Huanjiang would be sidelined, he didn't even have the courage to secretly sleep with the maid behind the lady's back. He then bestowed upon Qu Rou a divine position.

This has nothing to do with Manager Qu's management skills...

No, that's backwards.

Xiang Yuan made this arrangement not because he wanted to learn any superior experience from Yue Huanjiang and Qu Rou, the master-disciple couple, but simply because he was too busy with work, didn't want to get involved in things, and had his eye on Manager Qu's management skills.

That's how to recognize and utilize talent effectively while still practicing nepotism!

Xiang Yuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the Yongle Sect, which had been moved here, at the last Daoist temple of the Eastern Azure Emperor.

This is the first time I've learned that the Yongle Sect's lineage is related to the Eastern Azure Emperor.

Yongle Sect is a famous sect for hikers. Apart from being quite active in slaying demons and monsters, they are rarely seen.

Coincidentally, Xiang Yuan recognized one of them.

Mingxiaozi, a seasoned backpacker, once beat up his older brother and sister-in-law at their wedding banquet.

Upon seeing that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole Qinghua had a familiar pale face, Mingxiaozi was stunned on the spot. He was kicked by someone and stumbled forward, kneeling down directly.

"Disciples and grand-disciples pay homage to the patriarch."
Mingxiaozi started the ceremony, and all the Yongle Sect members followed suit and knelt down.

Xiang Yuan accepted it readily. This was the Qianyuan Realm, and he was the Eastern Qinghua Emperor. He was worthy of this bow. He raised his hand to dismiss his disciples and grand-disciples from the formalities and then casually rambled on, "I only learned today that the Yongle Sect is the successor of the Eastern Qinghua Emperor. Otherwise, I would have gone to find you all long ago."

"Grandmaster, the lineage of the Yongle Sect is not that of the Qinghua Emperor."

Then what are you doing here?

"What kind of inheritance is that?"

"Reporting to the Ancestral Master, it is the Eastern King Duke!"

"???"
