97: Immortal King Domain, No. 1 on the Immortal King Ranking

In the Immortal Realm, boundless Immortal Qi permeated the Nine Heavens.

As the Upper Realm, the Nine Heavens were like an immense, borderless island, suppressing countless territories.

Below the Nine Heavens, like the Heavenly Demon Realm, tens of thousands of worlds floated like bubbles.

Above the Nine Heavens, infinite Celestial Court Immortal Domains, ancient and unyielding, thrived without decay.

On this ordinary day.

A terrifying beam of light, from the ends of heaven and earth, pierced directly above the Nine Heavens, like a laser, fiercely blasting through the Celestial Court, like a rogue bully, the boundless Qi waves it unleashed overturned a large area of the Immortal Domain, opening up an extremely vast territory.

Immortal light boiled, Immortal Qi swirled, and endless immortal music resounded, as this territory was permeated with ancient runes and various phenomena.

In the core area of the territory.

An Immortal Mountain, approximately a million meters tall, rose from the ground.

At the Peak of the Immortal Mountain, an ancient Daoist temple stood quietly.

However, all the endless runes and immortal music of this territory encompassed and resounded around the ancient Daoist temple, covering an area larger than ten Heavenly Demon Realms combined.

Beside the Daoist temple, a verdant willow tree quietly grew. Apart from some charred marks on its trunk, as if struck by lightning, this willow tree looked even more ordinary than the ancient Daoist temple.

There was no sign of anyone on this Immortal Mountain.

On the door of the Daoist temple hung an extremely ordinary plaque—Immortal Abode.

“Hiss… an Immortal King Domain is born!”

“What a vast Immortal King Domain! This newly promoted Immortal King is probably extraordinary!”

“…”

Such a grand phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of the Immortal Realm’s powerful beings.

Figures tore through space, gazing from afar at the sudden birth of this Immortal Domain, both shocked and envious!

When an Immortal King is promoted, they stir up the winds and clouds, opening up a massive Immortal King Domain in the Celestial Court.

This is the rule of the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao!

An Immortal King!

This is the Immortal Realm’s top-tier combat power!

Every Immortal King, without anyone else, represents an Invincible Immortal King force!

Which Immortal Lord broke through?

Their eyes bulged, each of them staring like goldfish at this newly born Immortal King Domain.

But unfortunately, within the newly opened Immortal King Domain, countless terrifying runes floated, naturally forming an extremely profound ancient Immortal Formation, making it impossible for them to clearly see the scene inside the Immortal King Domain.

“I wonder which Immortal Lord broke through. Azure Dragon Immortal Lord? Or Lord Zhenfeng? They are the most powerful beings on the Immortal Lord Ranking, closest to becoming an Immortal King.”

“Perhaps it’s Little Saint Lord? He is a rare Supreme physique that hasn't been seen in ten thousand years!”

“We’ll know soon enough. Newly promoted Immortal Kings will hold an Immortal King Assembly. We’ll know which titan it is then!”

“…”

The Immortal Realm powerhouses were discussing frantically.

As the top-tier existences in the Immortal Realm, the birth of every Immortal King was a massive trending topic!

No one would find it odd to discuss it for ten or eight years.

…

Nine Heavens, beside a desolate ancient Immortal Formation.

“Damn it! I’m so angry!”

“How can there be such an annoying person? Not only does he not follow rules, but he also unreasonably cut down one of my projections! Doesn’t he know how much it costs me to descend to the Lower Realm?”

“The most outrageous thing is that he even dared to call me a little fairy! Is he looking down on me?”

The white-clothed youth’s face was flushed with anger, and he stomped his foot fiercely, causing the ground to shatter into pieces.

The female voice from within the pouch said helplessly: “Wei, teacher told you not to create extra trouble. Not everyone has such heaven-defying Luck as you. The qualification for the Emperor Road judgment is already very difficult to obtain, so it’s normal for the other party not to give it up.”

“Moreover, that Quasi-Emperor also said that the two were enemies. He took the Emperor Road judgment qualification precisely to torment him. How could he possibly hand over the qualification?”

Xuan Wei frowned and said, “But Teacher, the Emperor Road judgment isn’t meant for personal revenge. He’s cheating. If the judge can’t be fair, then why should he enjoy the final Karma?”

The female voice said, “At that time, the Emperor Road had not yet ended, and that Quasi-Emperor was not dead. It was still within a controllable range. Even if you wanted to interfere, you would have to wait until the Quasi-Emperor died for it to be considered unfair.”

“Do not be rash without knowing the full picture.”

Xuan Wei pouted: “Do I have to wait for something to happen before I can say anything? If he really wasn’t cheating, then why didn’t he speak up for himself? Instead, he chose to attack me? This person is simply guilty. I’ve noted this grudge; don’t let me encounter him again.”

The female voice no longer dwelled on this topic. Xuan Wei’s personality had always been a little willful, and she had grown accustomed to it. Instead, she reminded: “Cut off another projection and descend to the Xuan Realm to retrieve the Immortal Source. This is the top priority.”

“Don’t worry, Teacher, I know.”

Rumble.

The Celestial Court vibrated. Xuan Wei looked up, conjuring an Immortal Treasure to assist in observation.

Soon, she saw a huge and vast Immortal King Domain being born outside the Nine Heavens, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes: “An Immortal King?”

The female voice also exclaimed in surprise: “An Immortal King has actually been promoted. This is a major event.”

Xuan Wei’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked up at the Immortal King Domain: “Teacher, don’t worry, one day I will also be promoted to Immortal King and avenge you.”

The female voice gently advised: “No rush. It’s not easy for you to get the quota. Passing the Sword Domain trial is most important right now. Speaking of which, the newly promoted Immortal King should hold an Immortal King Assembly soon. If you have an Immortal King to protect your Dao when you go to the Sword Domain in the future, it will save you a lot of trouble.”

“A newly promoted Immortal King, in order to ascend, must have consumed many treasures. Their foundation is not comparable to that of veteran Immortal Kings, and they urgently need many resources.”

“At the Immortal King Assembly, present the Supreme treasure you obtained from the last ruins as a congratulatory gift and ask that Immortal King to help protect your Dao.”

Xuan Wei nodded gently upon hearing this, but she had a different opinion: “Teacher is right, but let’s wait and see.”

She frowned: “If this Immortal King is a woman, I will make the trip.”

“If it’s a man, then there’s no need. I dislike men.”

“Even if it’s a Peak Immortal King, I don’t want it.”

Female voice: “…”

When Xuan Wei was weak before, she was very obedient to her words.

Ever since Xuan Wei achieved Emperor Ascension, her personality has become increasingly extreme, and she no longer listens to her words as much as before. Yet, Xuan Wei continues to have smooth sailing in the Immortal Realm, gaining more and more Opportunities, which in turn proves that sometimes what she says is not entirely correct.

Because of this, the female voice often felt a little tired.

As Xuan Wei and the female voice were conversing, the huge commotion from the creation of the Immortal King Domain outside the Domain gradually subsided, but the entire sky of the Immortal Realm suddenly darkened, and long night descended abruptly.

“This is…”

Xuan Wei, who was about to cut out a projection to go to the Xuan Realm, blinked, looking at the celestial phenomenon in confusion. This was the Immortal Realm. Such a large-scale phenomenon must mean something big was happening.

“Immortal King Ranking?”

“How could the Immortal King Ranking appear?”

The gentle female voice in the pouch was utterly shocked.

The Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao is incredibly powerful, with self-manifesting rules. In the Immortal Dao Domain, there are corresponding rankings for various Realms. Those who make it onto the rankings can receive extremely generous rewards.

Above the Nine Heavens, the Immortal Realm’s strongest ranking suddenly appeared at this moment.

The dark night shimmered with ten thousand golden rays, and infinite golden light outlined three brilliant and dazzling characters in the Void Realm — Immortal King Ranking!

The dark night was like a painting, and on the Immortal King Ranking, golden characters appeared one after another!

Fiftyth place — Azure Lotus.

Forty-ninth place — Taiyuan.

…

The Immortal King Ranking, only the top fifty Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm can make it onto the list!

The female voice exclaimed in surprise: “What a grand display today! First, an Immortal King’s promotion, and now the Immortal King Ranking has appeared. This is a ranking that hasn’t been seen for over ten thousand years! Who has startled the Immortal King Ranking?”

Xuan Wei was stunned and subconsciously asked: “Teacher, what kind of Immortal Kings are capable of making it onto the Immortal King Ranking?”

The female voice immediately said: “Only Peak Immortal Kings are qualified to be on the list.”

“Peak Immortal King?”

“Immortal Kings can be divided into Ordinary Immortal Kings, Peak Immortal Kings, and Invincible Immortal Kings.”

“This Immortal King Realm actually has so many Realms?”

“Not Realms, but time. Upon achieving Immortal King, one gains infinite Lifespan. As the price for infinite Lifespan, Immortal Kings face an Immortal King Great Tribulation every ten thousand years. The longer they live and the more Immortal King Great Tribulations they overcome, the stronger their power.”

“Living for over one hundred thousand years makes one a Peak Immortal King, and living for over one million years makes one an Invincible Immortal King.”

Invincible Immortal King, actually so terrifying?!

Xuan Wei was stunned; it was her first time hearing such a secret: “Ah, this… Then, does our Immortal Realm’s Immortal King Ranking have any Invincible Immortal Kings?”

The female voice said faintly: “Naturally, it does. The top ten are all Invincible Immortal Kings.”

Upon hearing such Immortal King secrets, Xuan Wei’s heart yearned, and she clenched her fists: “I wonder when I can reach the step of an Invincible Immortal King. When I do, I will definitely climb to the top of the Immortal King Ranking.”

The female voice did not respond. She did not tell Xuan Wei that she herself was once an Invincible Immortal King.

In fact, she knew that above the Invincible, there was an even higher existence, known as the Immortal King.

Immortal King, who comprehended a rule called Immortality.

Immune to all tribulations, indestructible by all laws, disregarding the Immortal King Great Tribulation, capable of easily defeating Invincible Immortal Kings.

It’s just that Immortal Kings are too rare, and there’s no need to mention them specifically.

Xuan Wei was now staring intently at the Immortal King Ranking in the sky. Which Peak Immortal King would be born?

Suddenly, her pupils constricted.

In the long night sky, the Immortal Treasure she had previously conjured to observe the Immortal King Domain suddenly began to tremble.

The Immortal King Ranking landed on that Immortal King Domain.

Infinite pure Qi rushed into the sky.

On the Immortal King Ranking, a name called Willow God appeared from the bottom of the list, soaring like a rocket!

In an instant, she ascended to the tenth throne!

The Azure Lotus Immortal King at the bottom was directly squeezed off the list!

“The one who just made it onto the Immortal King Ranking is that newly promoted Immortal King!”

“How is that possible? Just promoted, and already an Invincible Immortal King?”

The female voice exclaimed in shock!

She sensed the aura of the Immortal King Ranking, which had descended upon that newly opened Immortal King Domain!

“Willow God, this name…”

“Could it be a female Immortal King?”

A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Xuan Wei’s eyes. She subconsciously asked, “Teacher, would this Invincible Immortal King be interested in my Supreme treasure?”

“If she could protect my Dao…”

“Shut up.”

The usually gentle female voice suddenly interrupted her roughly.

Xuan Wei: ???

“The Immortal King Ranking’s first place… has changed hands.”

The female voice trembled, her usually stable emotions rarely showing such a loss of composure.

Xuan Wei only saw that a Willow God had been added to the Immortal King Ranking and did not notice that the last two names on the Immortal King Ranking had both dropped off.

And the other person, before Willow God, this Immortal King, occupied the tenth spot, had already directly climbed to the Peak!

The Immortal King’s title that climbed to the first place on the Immortal King Ranking — Heavenly Emperor.

Heavenly Emperor, who is he?

The Immortal Realm exploded!
