96: The Honghuang Fairy Joins (Modification)

Besides these Great Power, the juniors brought by those Great Power present, as well as the Loose Immortals in the Immortal Court, especially those below the Taiyi Golden Immortal and Immortal Golden Immortal realms, were even more ecstatic.

For them, listening to a Great Power preach was a huge opportunity, and now to be able to witness so many Great Power discussing the Dao with each other simultaneously was simply an heaven-defying opportunity.

They all widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any detail.

After a brief moment of joy, they all calmed down and listened intently to the discussions of the Great Power, as if parched land yearned for the nourishment of sweet rain.

Time quietly slipped away in this rich atmosphere of discussions, and three thousand years passed in a blink of an eye.

This discussion finally gradually came to an end, and many Great Power all gained something.

Not only did they make progress in their Dao methods, but they also took this opportunity to get to know more Prehistoric Great Power, expanding their connections, which was undoubtedly a valuable gain.

As for those below the Great Luo (Daluo) Golden Immortal realm, they were even more excited at this moment, unable to control themselves. To be able to hear so many Great Power preach was, for them, a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

Although these Great Power were not specifically preaching for them, many Great Power discussed the Dao with each other, expounding on the supreme principles of heaven and earth. Even if they could only understand a small part of it, or even just one or two sentences, it was enough to benefit them greatly and provide a huge impetus for their own cultivation.

Their eyes sparkled with excitement and gratitude, and they secretly resolved in their hearts that they would cultivate even harder in the future, not to let this rare opportunity go to waste.

...

The discussion ended, and the atmosphere on Penglai Immortal Island gradually shifted from enthusiastic Dao exchange to departure. Zhen Yuanzi stood up, his gaze sweeping over the Yaochi Immortals, and then he gave a signal, indicating it was time to return home.

The other Prehistoric Great Power also stood up one after another, preparing to leave.

At this moment, West Queen Mother and Nuwa exchanged glances, understanding each other implicitly. They moved with light steps, walking in front of the group of Prehistoric Female Immortals.

West Queen Mother smiled, her voice soft yet clear, spreading throughout the surroundings: "Sisters, our Yaochi Immortal Palace now intends to open its gates wide, sincerely inviting all of you to join and work together to achieve great things."

Nuwa also interjected: "Moreover, the Yaochi Immortal Palace is blessed with the protection and support of Zhen Yuanzi, possessing profound heritage. In the future, it will surely be able to provide excellent cultivation resources and environment for all sisters."

And upon hearing this, many Prehistoric Female Immortals couldn't help but be moved.

Previously, Zhen Yuanzi generously took out a massive amount of precious innate spirit fruit as a congratulatory gift, and this scene left a deep impression on the hearts of many Prehistoric Female Immortals.

In their opinion, the heritage of Zhen Yuanzi, this ancient Great Power, was simply unfathomable, and with such strong backing, the Yaochi Immortal Palace's future treatment would surely be very generous.

Looking at Penglai Immortal Court, although Eastern King Duke was also the head of male immortals appointed by a Saint, he was, after all, struggling to support it alone. As for Yaochi Immortal Palace, West Queen Mother was also appointed by a Saint, and behind her was Zhen Yuanzi, an ancient Great Power who commanded respect from all the strong in the Primordial World.

Furthermore, they had just witnessed the grand scene of Celestial Merit descending from the heavens when the Immortal Court was established, and their hearts were filled with envy. If they joined the Yaochi Immortal Palace at this time, not only would they enjoy generous treatment, but when the Immortal Palace was officially established, they might also gain the blessing of Celestial Merit and luck.

And whether it was the precious innate spirit fruit or the cultivation acceleration brought by Celestial Merit and luck, these Prehistoric Female Immortals were deeply moved.

Action is better than inaction. The earlier they joined, the more likely they were to become founding elders of the Immortal Palace, and their future status and treatment would naturally be higher.

Flower Fairy, Bixia Yuanjun, Green Maiden, and others, seeing the many Female Immortals showing signs of being moved, all spoke up to persuade them: "Sisters, the Yaochi Immortal Palace has broad prospects. Joining now is a great opportunity to show your talents."

Under everyone's persuasion, finally, more than a dozen female Great Luo Experts stepped forward first. One of them, a Da Luo Female Immortal dressed in red with a fiery temperament, said: "I am willing to join the Yaochi Immortal Palace and follow Sister West Queen Mother and Sister Nuwa."

Immediately after, hundreds of Taiyi Female Immortals also responded: "We are willing to join."

Some other Female Immortals, however, showed hesitation. One graceful Female Immortal softly said: "I need to go back and discuss with my sisters before making a decision."

Taiyin Goddesses Wangshu and Changxi exchanged glances. Wangshu smiled and said: "We have gained quite a lot from this trip. My sister and I also need to go back and consider carefully, and then we will give our reply to both of you sisters."

Zhen Yuanzi watched this scene, quite satisfied in his heart. He knew that his previous actions had indeed not been in vain.

Now, with the addition of these dozen Great Luo Experts and hundreds of Taiyi Female Immortals, the Yaochi Immortal Palace's strength had greatly increased. After the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, they would have enough confidence to announce the establishment of the Immortal Palace.

Although they could announce the establishment of the Immortal Palace by returning now, Zhen Yuanzi felt it was too hasty. After all, there was not much time left until the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, and there wasn't enough time to prepare.

It would be better to wait until after the second lecture at Zixiao Palace to hold a grand ceremony to announce its establishment.

As for whether the Yaochi Immortal Palace would be affected or even threatened after the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, with the increased strength of many innate Great Power and the official establishment of the Demon Race and Demon Court, Zhen Yuanzi had no worries in his heart.

If Emperor Jun and Taiyi dared to be so ignorant, he would certainly let them know what it meant to respect their elders.

Upon leaving Penglai Immortal Island, Zhen Yuanzi's aura suddenly changed, and the powerful force of spatial laws instantly permeated the air.

He directly unleashed a powerful spatial divine ability. A huge spatial vortex appeared out of thin air, enveloping West Queen Mother, Nuwa, Fuxi, and the other Yaochi Immortals, as well as all the newly recruited Da Luo Female Immortals and Taiyi Female Immortals.

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, carrying everyone, and in an instant, they traversed endless void.

This time, Zhen Yuanzi had no intention of enjoying the scenery of the East Sea; he only wanted to return to Yaochi Immortal Palace as quickly as possible.

In a flash, a light flickered, and they had already returned to the Yaochi Immortal Palace.

Upon returning to Yaochi Immortal Palace, West Queen Mother solemnly took out the Yaochi Immortal Scroll.

This scroll emitted a soft seven-colored light, with runes flickering on it, mysterious and powerful, an exotic treasure nurtured by the Heavenly Dao.

This treasure was bestowed by Hongjun when he previously appointed West Queen Mother as the head of the Prehistoric Female Immortals. Its function was somewhat similar to the investiture of the gods in later generations.

West Queen Mother gently stroked the Immortal Scroll and softly said: "This is the Yaochi Immortal Scroll, which can be used to register the names of Female Immortals and bestow corresponding immortal positions."

As she spoke, she opened the Immortal Scroll, and on it, the position of Immortal Head was clearly written with West Queen Mother's name, while the Deputy Immortal Head was Nuwa.

Great Divine Power Practitioner like Bixia Yuanjun would naturally be masters of their own halls, possessing immense power.

As for Fuxi and Hongyun, they had no specific positions and were not even registered on the scroll. They could only be considered as... cough cough... protectors of the Immortal Palace!

However, the two of them had no objections to this, as they were supporting their sister and brother, and the benefits they usually received from Zhen Yuanzi were by no means small, even greater than the benefits of joining the Immortal Palace.

West Queen Mother continued: "I will bestow different immortal positions based on the sisters' different strengths, realms, and Dao methods and divine abilities."

Subsequently, West Queen Mother began to explain the responsibilities of the Yaochi Immortal Palace as the leading force of Female Immortals: "Our Yaochi Immortal Palace has different responsibilities from Eastern King Duke's Immortal Court. The Immortal Palace is primarily responsible for sorting out yin and yang, observing the changes of heaven and earth, presiding over the growth of all things, managing the four seasons of heaven and earth, operating the five elements of heaven and earth, regulating the climate of the Primordial World, controlling the warmth and cold of the world, and managing all Female Immortals in the world."

"Most of these responsibilities involve maintaining the operation of the heavenly rules and do not involve too many disputes between forces in the Primordial World, making them relatively less troublesome. But as long as we fulfill our corresponding responsibilities and maintain the order of the Primordial World, we will be able to gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, receive the blessing of luck, and even continuously acquire a large amount of luck."

The Female Immortals listened quietly, a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

Gaining the blessing of heaven and earth luck was also one of their important reasons for joining the Immortal Palace.

However, to truly gain the luck of heaven and earth, and even the blessing of Celestial Merit, they would have to wait until the Immortal Palace was officially established, declared to the Heavenly Dao, and received the Heavenly Dao's recognition.

...

After arranging for the newly joined Female Immortals, West Queen Mother and Nuwa gathered in a quiet immortal pavilion, discussing their next plan.

West Queen Mother frowned slightly, her expression solemn, and said: "Nuwa, Taiyin Star holds a unique position in the Primordial World. Changxi and Wangshu, the two Taiyin Goddesses, have great influence among Female Immortals, and they are both top-tier Great Power. If we can invite them to join our Yaochi Immortal Palace, it will greatly enhance the strength of the Immortal Palace."

Nuwa nodded gently, her beautiful eyes shifting, and she took over the conversation: "Sister is absolutely right. On Penglai Immortal Island, I already saw that they were inclined to join the Immortal Palace, but they hadn't made up their minds yet, saying they needed to go back and consider."

"This means they might join, or they might refuse. If we try a bit harder to persuade them now, we might succeed in winning them over."

After the two discussed and agreed, they went together to Zhen Yuanzi's secluded cultivation place. Zhen Yuanzi was immersed in his comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, with spiritual energy swirling around him like clouds and mist.

West Queen Mother and Nuwa stepped forward lightly to greet him.

West Queen Mother said: "Brother, Nuwa and I have discussed and plan to go to Taiyin Star to invite the two Goddesses, Changxi and Wangshu, to join the Yaochi Immortal Palace. We came to inform you."

Zhen Yuanzi slowly opened his eyes, a thoughtful glint flashing within them, and then he nodded in agreement.

He pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. Amidst flashing light, one hundred perfect grade ginseng fruit, one hundred perfect grade congenital great dragon elephant fruit, one hundred supreme grade enlightenment tea leaves, and three hundred high-grade Mystic Ice Spirit Soul Fruit appeared before them.

Zhen Yuanzi said: "Since you are going to invite them in person, you cannot go empty-handed. These spirit fruits will serve as our Immortal Palace's sincerity and bargaining chips. You can give them to different individuals as appropriate, and you can decide the specific quantities yourself."

West Queen Mother's eyes flashed with pleasant surprise, and she quickly took the spirit fruits, smiling as she said: "Thank you, Brother. Such generous gifts will surely demonstrate our Immortal Palace's sincerity. Rest assured, Brother, I will not let you down."

Most of the spirit fruits given by Zhen Yuanzi were perfect grade innate spirit fruit, intended to attract top-tier Great Power. For ordinary Great Power, a small amount of perfect grade or some high-grade innate spirit fruit would be sufficient.

West Queen Mother herself had cultivated many high-grade innate spirit fruit, with ample stock, but perfect grade innate spirit fruit were extremely precious. Zhen Yuanzi's action undoubtedly added significant leverage to the invitation.

And simply inviting the two Taiyin Goddesses would naturally not require so many perfect grade innate spirit fruit and supreme grade enlightenment tea leaves at once, but the remaining ones could be saved for future use.
