134: Chapter 134 The Battle for the Great Luo!

The Lingxiao Treasure Hall was oppressively quiet.

Li Xuan pinched the invitation made of kunlun immortal jade.

"The chess game has begun; waiting quietly for the one to make a move."

He softly recited this condescending remark and smiled.

Since rebuilding the Southern Heaven Gate, everyone he had encountered, whether it was the Corpse Immortal Sect or the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, could at best be considered local tyrants of the Immortal Domain's wasteland.

They didn't count for much.

This invitation indicated that what he had been doing had finally caught the eyes of some old fogies in the Immortal Domain.

"Jade Pool Grand Assembly"

These four words were an incredible honor in mythology.

Flat peaches, Immortal wine, and ten thousand Immortals paying homage.

That was the scene of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

In this era, for a force that had survived from mythology to suddenly pull this off, the scheme behind it was not simple.

To understand this chess game, it was best to ask an antique who had lived long enough.

Li Xuan sent out a Divine Thought.

"Dan Lingzi, come to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to see Me."

Before long, Dan Lingzi flew from the Tushita Palace to the hall and bowed respectfully.

"Your humble servant Dan Lingzi pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"

Now, with the Heavenly Court's Luck and the divine position of the investiture of the gods nourishing him, Dan Lingzi's spiritual body was much more solid.

Dressed in a Daoist robe, he truly had the air of an ancient almighty.

He was busy and full of energy with matters regarding the Alchemy Department and the Heavenly Court Academy's Alchemy Institute.

He wondered what major event the Heavenly Emperor had summoned him for so suddenly.

"Rise."

Li Xuan waved his hand, and the kunlun immortal jade invitation floated in front of Dan Lingzi.

"Take a look, what is this?"

Dan Lingzi subconsciously reached out to take it.

But the moment his fingertips touched the jade leaf, his face turned pale.

"This! This is..."

His hands holding the jade leaf were actually trembling.

"Kunlun, it's kunlun immortal jade! A Jade Pool Token!"

Dan Lingzi exclaimed.

"Impossible! How could these appear? Is this epoch coming to an end?"

He was so scared that he took a step back.

"Oh?"

Li Xuan found his flustered appearance interesting.

It seemed he had found the right person.

He leaned back on the imperial throne and asked:

"You know its Origin. Tell Me, what's the deal with this Jade Pool Grand Assembly?"

Dan Lingzi steadied his mind.

Holding up the Jade Pool Token, he spoke with a dry throat.

"Your Majesty, did you know that this Jade Pool Grand Assembly is not a banquet at all?"

"Get to the point."

Li Xuan said.

"Yes!"

Dan Lingzi said, "This Jade Pool Grand Assembly is actually a top-tier qualifying tournament that determines the layout of the next epoch in the Immortal Domain! The true purpose is to compete for the legendary daluo dao fruit that can allow one to ascend to the heavens in one step!"

"daluo dao fruit?"

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Exactly!"

Dan Lingzi said with a tone of awe, "It is not a fruit, but a status! It is the supreme proof condensed by the Origin Laws of the Immortal Domain when each epoch changes and the Great Dao turns from prosperity to decline!"

"Your Majesty is currently a Taiyi Golden Immortal. You should know that although Taiyi and Daluo are only a step apart, they are worlds apart. A Taiyi Golden Immortal still risks falling within the river of fate. But a Grand Unity Golden Immortal has truly jumped outside the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements! Transcending time, indestructible through ten thousand tribulations, eternal and carefree!"

"Going from Taiyi to Daluo is as difficult as ascending to the heavens; not even a few appear in an entire epoch. And the daluo dao fruit is the key to this path of ascension!"

"Obtaining it is equivalent to getting a ticket straight to becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal! It is equivalent to being recognized by the Origin Great Dao of the Immortal Domain with the Daluo status!"

After listening to Dan Lingzi's explanation, Li Xuan understood.

So after all that, it was just a shortcut that could save the effort of enlightenment and directly guarantee a path to becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Sounds like a good thing."

Li Xuan said casually.

His calm reaction made Dan Lingzi extremely anxious.

"Your Majesty, how is this a good thing! This is simply a death warrant; every Taiyi Golden Immortal in the entire Immortal Domain will fight to the death for it!"

Dan Lingzi sighed:

"Your Majesty, you may not know, but the number of daluo dao fruits that appear each time is very small. As far as this old servant knows, in the last epoch, only three were condensed in total!"

"Three?"

Li Xuan rubbed his chin.

The entire Immortal Domain was boundless, and who knew how many Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal experts were hiding.

With a mere three spots, the scene of the struggle was likely even bloodier than he had imagined.

"Yes! Just three!"

Dan Lingzi's voice was trembling, "This Jade Pool Grand Assembly is the qualification screening held by that ancient Yaochi Holy Land!"

"Only the top experts who fight their way out at the Grand Assembly are qualified to compete for the final daluo dao fruit. This is no Grand Assembly; it is clearly an Asura field that buries countless Prodigies!"

In order to make Li Xuan understand the cruelty within, Dan Lingzi's face was full of lingering fear.

"This old servant was lucky enough to see the tail end of the Jade Pool Grand Assembly of the last epoch from afar. That scene is something this old servant will never forget in his entire life!"

"The Star Domain was beaten into a sieve, and the corpses of Taiyi Immortals were hanging on meteorites everywhere. Many of them were old monsters who had been famous for millions of years; their dao fruits shattered, their Primordial Spirits destroyed, and their cultivation became nutrients for others!"

"I saw with my own eyes a Mysterious Turtle Old Ancestor, famous for his defense, get punched to pieces, both man and shell! I also saw a Sect Master proficient in the Space Dao being hunted with nowhere to run, and finally, he was refined alive into Origin!"

"And those winners," Dan Lingzi's tone sank, "The three from the last epoch: one became the current Lord of the Longevity Immortal Court in the east of the Immortal Domain. One used a sword to open an Immortal Sword Domain in the Western Extreme. The last one was the most mysterious; he dove into the endless Void Realm and went off to be a carefree Immortal!"

"The winners ascend to the heavens in one step, while the losers turn to dust!"

"This is the Daluo Conflict!"

After Dan Lingzi finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

He peeked at Li Xuan's expression, hoping this young Heavenly Emperor would understand the danger of this trip, give up the idea, and develop steadily.

The Heavenly Court's foundation was too thin right now; it really shouldn't wade into these muddy waters.

"Sounds like it's indeed quite lively."

After a while, Li Xuan finally spoke; his tone was not heavy at all, but rather full of anticipation.

"Your Majesty!"

Dan Lingzi was anxious, "This Daluo Conflict is no small matter! I heard that those old monsters hiding in the Immortal Domain have almost all come out this time!"

"For example?"

Li Xuan asked.

"The Hunyuan Immortal Sect of the Central Continent Immortal Domain; their Sect Master, the Qiankun Old Ancestor, was said to have been at the Taiyi Peak three epochs ago and has been suppressing his cultivation, waiting for this daluo dao fruit!"

"From the forbidden area of the North Sea of Darkness, a Northern Darkness Demon Master has walked out. His true form is the ancient exotic beast Kunpeng; he has extremely strong power and a ferocious temperament!"

"And the Phantom Thousand Empress of the Southern Ten Thousand Demon Ridge; it is rumored that she has ten thousand Incarnations, all of whom are Taiyi Golden Immortals. No one knows where her true body is, and her methods are bizarre!"

"In addition, there are some lone wolf experts, like the Sword Burier of the Western Extreme. Legend says that every time he kills someone of the same rank, he buries their Immortal sword with them. Now, in the Sword Tomb behind him, there are thousands of Taiyi Immortal swords buried!"

Every name Dan Lingzi mentioned represented a bloody history of the Immortal Domain.

He wanted to use these names to make Li Xuan understand how terrifying the opponents were.

But Dan Lingzi was disappointed.

After listening to this long list of names, Li Xuan's face still had no expression, but his interest grew even stronger.

"Qiankun Old Ancestor? Northern Darkness Demon Master? Phantom Thousand Empress? Sword Burier?"

"Very good! Very good indeed!"

Li Xuan stood up from the imperial throne.

A wave of pressure made Dan Lingzi's heart jump.

He was currently at the fourth heaven of Taiyi Golden Immortal and was worried about not finding a suitable opponent to test his own mettle.

He couldn't even raise the interest to make a move against those underlings below.

And Grand Unity Golden Immortals wouldn't show themselves easily.

Weren't these elites among the Peak Taiyi Golden Immortals, these old monsters standing at the Peak of the Immortal Domain, the best whetstones prepared for him?

Pressure?

What pressure.

In Dan Lingzi's view, this was a massive crisis.

In his eyes, this was nothing more than a stage for him to make a name for himself, and by the way, grab a shortcut home.

The so-called chess game, to him, only had one way to play.

He would hold the chess piece!

"That's enough, I know now. You may withdraw."

Li Xuan waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, you..." Dan Lingzi still wanted to persuade him.

"I have My own sense of proportion."

Li Xuan's tone was flat, but his attitude was unquestionable.

Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor had made up his mind, Dan Lingzi could only sigh.

Further persuasion would be useless.

"This old servant takes his leave."

He bowed and withdrew from the hall with a worried face.

After Dan Lingzi left, Li Xuan stood alone in the empty Lingxiao Treasure Hall and smiled.

"The Daluo Conflict, the Jade Pool Grand Assembly."

He looked outside the hall, as if he could already see the scene of experts from all walks of life gathering.

"Such a rare lively event, I naturally have to go and join in."

Saying this, he turned his gaze towards the direction of the harem.

There lived his children with good talent.

He had an idea in his mind.

"For such a scene, it would be too lonely if I went alone."

"Fine, I'll just take Changsheng and the other little ones along to see the world."
