389: Invitation from Taoist Master

The next day, Su Changqing, Azure Wind Daoist, and Dao Child Fenghuo went to the main hall of the Supreme Immortal Court.

Today, the top 100 on the Ascension Dragon Rankings can all receive rewards from the Supreme Immortal Court.

It should be known that as the top power in the Immortal Realm, the rewards from the Supreme Immortal Court are extremely generous, and even Immortal Venerable-level powers are quite envious of them. This is why it attracts so many Prodigies to participate in each competition.

This grand hall was incomparably luxurious, much wider and more opulent than the Immortal Wind Sect's main hall. The two were simply not on the same Rank.

Compared to the Tai Xuan Sect in the Lower Realm, it was even more incomparable.

It was like the difference between a cold cave and a royal palace, a world apart.

Even Su Changqing couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart, somewhat shocked.

In the main hall, the Dao Immortal Lord, the master of the Supreme Immortal Court, was not present. Instead, the Grand Elder presided over the ceremony.

In recent years, the Dao Immortal Lord has been in seclusion all year round and rarely meets guests. Even for a competition of the Ten Thousand Domains Competition's Rank, he almost never appears. His previous voice transmission to help Su Changqing was already extremely surprising.

“Everyone, you may now select your rewards for being in the top 100 of the Ascension Dragon Rankings.”

As the Grand Elder's words fell, he waved his hand, and a light screen appeared in front of everyone, allowing them to select their rewards.

Only in front of Su Changqing, no light screen appeared.

The Grand Elder said with a smile:

“Young Master Su, the Dao Immortal Lord has invited you.”

Su Changqing was stunned, and everyone present was instantly stunned. Even Mystic Azure's face flickered with a shocked expression.

One must know that as a direct Disciple of the Supreme Immortal Court, he had only seen the Dao Immortal Lord a few times.

He never expected that the Immortal Lord would actually be willing to meet Su Changqing.

It was simply unbelievable.

“Alright!”

Su Changqing naturally wouldn't refuse.

He followed behind the Grand Elder and left the main hall.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, as if entering a labyrinth, Su Changqing suddenly realized that what he had just experienced was an illusion.

Immediately after, Su Changqing arrived at a bamboo forest. Outside the bamboo forest was a cold pond, and beside the cold pond, an old man was fishing.

However, the old man seemed to be enveloped in mist, ethereal and illusory, making it impossible to see his true form, as if he didn't truly exist.

The Grand Elder spoke in a low voice:

“That is the Immortal Lord.”

Dao Immortal Lord!?

Su Changqing looked over, but he also couldn't discern the Dao Immortal Lord's true form.

“You may go over.”

“Alright!”

Su Changqing nodded, then quickly walked over.

Not long after, he arrived behind the Dao Immortal Lord and respectfully bowed to the old man in front of him.

“Greetings, Immortal Lord!!”

As Su Changqing's words fell, the Dao Immortal Lord gently put down his fishing rod and chuckled to himself:

“Empty again.”

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Su Changqing.

“Su Changqing, I didn't get your name wrong, did I?”

“No.”

The Dao Immortal Lord stood up with a chuckle. He was about the same height as Su Changqing, with a white beard and hair, adding a touch of benevolence.

“My Dao title is Dao Immortal Lord, and I am the master of this Supreme Immortal Court. All the demonic creatures in that Ancient Battlefield should have been eliminated by you, right?”

Su Changqing nodded without thinking.

“Senior is insightful.”

After all, in front of someone of this Rank, he couldn't hide anything from him.

The Dao Immortal Lord said with a chuckle:

“That Ancient Battlefield connects to the world of extraterrestrial demonic creatures. Although the highest cultivation of that group of demonic creatures is only Golden Immortal Peak, their numbers are not small, and their strength is not weak. For you to achieve this with True Immortal Realm cultivation, you must have a profound foundation, deep methods, and… quite a few secrets, I presume.”

His smiling appearance made Su Changqing instinctively shiver.

In fact, his Two Worlds Gate was already ready for use. If the other party had any ill intentions, he would immediately Transmigration to the Lower Realm.

Even if he could never return to the Immortal Realm in this life, preserving his life was paramount.

However, the Dao Immortal Lord saw Su Changqing's nervousness, so he smiled freely and said:

“Don't worry, I have no interest in your secrets. Which person who can reach the Immortal Reverent Realm doesn't have some secrets? Let alone me.”

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing silently nodded.

Indeed.

The Dao Immortal Lord was now the foremost person in the world.

How could his growth experience be without any secrets? The Opportunities he obtained were even more numerous than Su Changqing's.

“May I ask, Immortal Lord, why you have summoned this Junior?”

Su Changqing cupped his hands and asked.

In front of this Dao Immortal Lord, he was extremely cautious.

The Dao Immortal Lord smiled and said:

“I called you here because I want to ask you… are you interested in joining my Supreme Immortal Court?”

Su Changqing: “?????”

Join the Supreme Immortal Court?

He was instantly stunned.

One must know that the Supreme Immortal Court was the top power in the Immortal Realm.

But in reality, it didn't have many Disciples; in fact, one could say they were pitifully few.

Because the Supreme Immortal Court only accepted Disciples with top-tier talent. Those without top-tier talent couldn't even touch the threshold of the Supreme Immortal Court.

And the Dao Immortal Lord's invitation for Su Changqing to join the Supreme Immortal Court truly caught him off guard.

He didn't rush to agree but remained silent.

Joining the Supreme Immortal Court would naturally bring him many benefits. After all, the resources he could enjoy would definitely be terrifying, something countless people dreamed of but couldn't obtain.

But!

For Su Changqing, System Bro had all the resources he needed.

He didn't need the support of the Supreme Immortal Court.

More importantly, the Supreme Immortal Court had too many strong individuals and too deep a foundation. If he joined the Supreme Immortal Court, his top-tier Immortal Artifacts might be discovered, or even more seriously, if the System were discovered, that would be troublesome.

Although the Dao Immortal Lord appeared harmless and very kind at the moment.

However, who could guarantee that he wouldn't have ulterior motives towards the System?

That thing was his true capital for survival.

And the Immortal Wind Sect was now capable of protecting him. Furthermore, the Immortal Wind Sect would not pry into his secrets, allowing him to develop without restraint.

Time was what Su Changqing needed most.

Moreover… he was about to condense three thousand Laws, something no one in the Immortal Realm had dared to do or achieved for countless years. If he were in the Supreme Immortal Court, it was very likely to be discovered, thus attracting trouble.

With a myriad of thoughts, Su Changqing made his decision.

“Thank you, Immortal Lord, for your favor. However, I am deeply indebted to the Immortal Wind Sect and am unwilling to leave the sect. I hope the Immortal Lord will forgive me.”

Oh?

The Dao Immortal Lord was somewhat surprised.

One must know that being able to join the Supreme Immortal Court was a great honor for any Prodigy, even more so when the Supreme Immortal Court's master personally extended the invitation.

But Su Changqing actually refused just like that, without any hesitation.

It was truly unexpected.

However, the Dao Immortal Lord did not get angry because of this. Instead, he smiled and took out a purple jade pendant, on which was engraved the character 'Immortal', emitting a rich Immortal Qi.

“This item is my Supreme Immortal Court's Prodigy Token. If you change your mind, you can come to my Supreme Immortal Court with this token at any time. Furthermore, this item can also provide you with some protection.”
