Chapter 1896: Chapter 898: Peace Under Heaven!
Eternal life is an enormous temptation, something everyone desires. However, with their capabilities, achieving immortality is undoubtedly a very difficult task.
A price must be paid.
Among them, the one most in danger due to lifespan is Elder Su Ming of the Heavenly Demon Hall. He is a figure from a thousand years ago, existing in the same era as Grand Ancestor Chu and Martial Emperor Lu Chengfeng.
For so many years, he has been surviving by relying on Divine Origin, but that is not a long-term solution.
Moreover, it merely preserves his vitality. Strictly speaking, it is not true immortality, but more akin to slumber. Yet despite this, his lifespan continues to ebb away.
He also has almost no hope of entering the Earth Immortal Realm.
It can be said that among those present, he is the most desperate for eternal life.
As for the others, at least in the short term, they are not so urgent; Jiang He and Ye Xiangnan, having just entered the Six Realms recently, have over a thousand years of lifespan remaining.
If they achieve breakthroughs in future cultivation, their lifespans will further increase.
Moluo possesses Earth Immortal level cultivation, and his lifespan is long.
Lu Chengfeng also has a substantial lifespan of at least several hundred more years. If he can reach the Heavenly Immortal level during this time, another qualitative change will occur.
Shen Teng Elder, with his Demon Emperor realm cultivation and demon body, naturally has a much longer lifespan than the Human Race does, so for now, he actually doesn’t need it. As for the old Heavenly Master… he also has a long time remaining.
After all, it’s been less than a hundred years since he reached the Six Realms.
Of course, the Eternal Life Platform actually serves a great purpose. Besides granting immortality, it can continually allow one to be reborn. As long as the Origin remains undying and resources abound, in theory the limit is very low.
Now, according to Chen Yuan, soon, extraterrestrial evil demons will invade the Human World, presenting a very dangerous situation. If one were to possess the Eternal Life Platform, it would serve as an immortal trump card.
The atmosphere around seemed to freeze for a moment. Seeing that the others remained silent, Elder Su Ming gritted his teeth, stood out first, and bowed:
“Your Majesty, your humble servant is willing to enter the Eternal Life Platform.”
He couldn’t compare with others; his cultivation breakthrough was near hopeless, his lifespan nearing its end, better to seek stability.
“Very well, once I have fully refined the Eternal Life Platform, I shall grant you eternal life.”
“Your Majesty, might I be allowed some time to consider this matter and decide later?” The old Heavenly Master couldn’t help but speak.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled and said:
“This matter is indeed something I haven’t considered sufficiently. After all, it concerns the future. Very well, you may all consider it, and here with me, a choice will always be available for you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
All voiced in unison.
“As I had mentioned to those Immortals of the Immortal Domain before, I say it again to you today: although peace reigns under the heavens, formidable enemies encircle us from without.
We must plan for the future and prepare for battle against the evil demons. Thus, my decision is to establish the Heavenly Court and enthrone you as Immortal Gods. As for this Eternal Life Platform, henceforth… let it be called the Sealing God Platform.
Those with distinguished Merit can enter the Sealing God Platform to enjoy eternal life.”
Though this was stated, everyone was aware that unless Chen Yuan re-refines this item, only Sixth Realm Immortals qualified for entry into the Sealing God Platform.
“We, your subjects, comply with the decree!”
“We, your subjects, comply with the decree.”
Chen Yuan stood at the apex of the starry sky, gazing into the distance:
“Our future lies not only within the Human World but also amidst the stars and sea, limitless universe, under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. You may enjoy the Qi Fortune of the Heavenly Court for cultivation, wield authority, among the advantages; consider them carefully.
𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Now, prepare yourselves.”
…
…
With the conclusion of Chen Yuan and Taihao Immortal Venerable’s battle, and the ceasing of conflicts between human immortals and the Immortals of the Immortal Domain, the various anomalies and calamities affecting the Human World from the starry sky also finally came to an end.
The seas no longer surged, sweeping the shores. Mountains no longer collapsed, causing the earth to crack. The sandstorms that gathered in the desert gradually dissipated, and avalanches on the snowy plains ceased to continue.
It seemed that everything had returned to its origin.
The rolling Primordial Energy vanished without trace, the oppressive atmosphere gradually dispersed, but aside from the common folk rejoicing that the disaster had finally ended, many others speculated on the outcome of this battle.
The great battle ended, the victor… seemed they should have revealed themselves.
Capital.
The civil and military nobles, Immortal Sect leaders, and commanding generals were all silent. Everyone wished to say something but didn’t know how, after all, before the victor revealed themselves.
Saying too much now could lead to much being wrong in the future.
A strange atmosphere surrounded everyone, unsettling, irritating, yet there was nothing to be done.
“What does everyone think?”
Breaking the silence first was Ling Xu Monarch of Shushan.
They were not with the civil and military nobles, as the levels were different; they were not even on the same plane, but there was one common point.
That was that they were also hesitant to discuss anything amongst themselves.
“What do you think?”
Zhao Danqing, Tianxu Daoist, and Song Yingqiao exchanged glances.
“This humble Taoist believes this war should end with His Majesty’s victory,” Song Yingqiao deliberated.
“Why do you think so?”
Tianxu Daoist asked with a smile.
Song Yingqiao: “….”
Of course, it was his guess, and what he most hoped for, as although Wudang Mountain had not bet everything as Shushan had, it was nearly akin; moreover, this battle involved the old Heavenly Master.
Winning would naturally be best, but if defeated, the future of Wudang Mountain would be hard to anticipate.
Though thinking this in his heart, outwardly he naturally couldn’t say so; he took a deep breath and continued:
