Chapter 672: Red Luan Immortal

If a person is over 80 years old and is surpassed by his own disciple, he will naturally be very happy, after all, he cannot move forward any further. However, if he is also a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but his disciple has entered the Daluo Golden Immortal level ahead of time, and may even make further progress in the future, then he will feel very uncomfortable.

Tiange Taiyi thought he had a good character and was very magnanimous, but when he thought that Fu Yunzi would surpass him in the future, he felt something was wrong. This feeling was due to his unwillingness to admit defeat and his envy of Fu Yunzi. After all, he also wanted to be taken care of by the Emperor.

Unfortunately, the Emperor was not very fond of his ancestor. Tiange Taiyi was too envious to do so, so he could only choose to practice in seclusion. As for the fleet of warships, naturally there were other people to take charge of it. Moreover, the Emperor and Empress had not given any instructions for action so far, so the fleet of warships could only fly slowly step by step.

Whenever they discover any universe, they will go straight over it, then throw down the Heavenly Net and wait for the arrival of the heavenly soldiers and generals. It is worth mentioning that a Taiyi-level universe near the Guanglong Universe is used as a training ground by the Emperor and Empress. This place is not open to the Heavenly Court, but to the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Guanglong Universe.

The immortal team would sometimes come to guide the army in practicing formations. Even Master Ziyun was not aware of this, but Tiange Taiyi knew it very well because he was the one in charge secretly. He even selected a few Golden Immortals from the Luotian Immortal Sect and arranged them in as assistants.

In the spring of the 41,800th year of the Eight Desolations Calendar, a huge phenomenon appeared in the Daluo Universe. Colorful rays of light almost filled the entire universe. An extremely strong pressure spread from then on. A red figure appeared in the universe and lasted for nearly a year before disappearing.

The immortals in the Eight Desolate Universe concluded that this was a sign of promotion to Daluo, and they beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret, feeling that they had missed an opportunity. The immortals in the Daluo Universe also felt the immortal opportunity, and some were moved to practice in seclusion, while others were very upset that they did not seize the opportunity.

Regardless of the outcome, it was an indisputable fact that unusual movements had occurred in the Daluo Universe. Later, the Heavenly Court announced the news, confirming that Emperor Hongluan had made a breakthrough in the Daluo Universe and had successfully been promoted to Daluo Golden Immortal. The Emperor and Empress personally issued an edict, promoting Emperor Hongluan to the rank of Hongluan Immortal, in charge of the Daluo Universe sequence, and restoring the affairs of the Star Alliance and Guanglong Universe.

Because the promotion was not in the Eight Desolate Universe, the breakthrough of the Immortal Lord Hongluan did not cause much noise this time. The main reason was that the Daluo Universe was sealed when the Emperor Hongluan was in seclusion, and immortals were not allowed to enter or leave without permission. Otherwise, a large number of immortals would definitely squeeze in.

After 41,888 years of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Immortal Venerable Hongluan came out of seclusion and appeared in the Imperial Garden of Heaven in an instant.

"Congratulations, Immortal Venerable." The Emperor and Empress looked at the brand new Immortal Venerable Hongluan and congratulated him.

"It is all thanks to the cultivation of the Emperor," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable with emotion, "The Emperor had already reminded me of my cultivation path a long time ago. It was ridiculous to waste time. In the end, I had to rely on the guidance of the Emperor to succeed. The Emperor is a hundred times and a thousand times better than me. Without the Emperor's guidance, there would be no Hongluan today."

This is not a compliment but a fact. Human beings experience the mundane world and go through the seven emotions and six desires, while the heavenly world transcends the mundane world and abandons the seven emotions and six desires. The earthly way is universal and accommodates everything, like the sea that holds all rivers. If it were not for the guidance of the Emperor, the Immortal Hongluan would not have easily broken through, and it would have been impossible for him to even find his own way.

"So, the cause and effect between us has come to an end?" The emperor and empress looked at her and asked.

"Yes." Hongluan Immortal Venerable smiled and nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the emperor and empress' minds became clear, as if a whisk had been extinguished, and they suddenly became clean and pure. Their whole bodies exuded a moving aura. This time it was the turn of the Immortal Hongluan to congratulate the emperor and empress. She had not expected that the emperor and empress would make such progress.

"I didn't expect that I have been restraining myself all this time. No wonder I haven't made any progress." The Empress came back to her senses. Several days have passed. She looked at the Red Luan Immortal Venerable who was protecting her and couldn't help but sighed, "The karma between you and me is very heavy. Now that you have spoken, a lot of the karma on me has disappeared."

After all, she was born in Hongluan Peak, and Hongluan Immortal was the founder of Hongluan Peak. It would be strange if the causal relationship between them was not strong. The emperor and empress have never felt that there are too many connections between them, but they still care about each other in their hearts. This is not self-deception, but subconscious self-identification.

Now that everything has been talked out, the constraints on her mind are gone, as if she has regained her freedom, which has improved her state of mind a lot. This has also allowed her to take a step further. As for breaking through to the Daluo level, she no longer has the mental shackles. The next step is to focus on accumulation. Once she has accumulated enough, everything will come naturally.

This step is very critical, because mental obstacles can only be discovered and solved by oneself, but most immortals cannot discover them by themselves, so the emperor and empress were still very grateful to the Immortal Hongluan. Without these words, the emperor and empress would be afraid that they would not be able to break through for a long time.

"Cause and effect are mysterious, but to us, they are not that important." Hongluan Immortal Venerable laughed softly, "If you really care, the cause and effect between me, the Heavenly Court, the Emperor, and you will be countless. When you reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian, you will understand that transcendence and laws are everything."

"You have changed a lot. At least now I am finally facing a person with flesh and blood." The emperor and empress were very pleased and no longer referred to themselves as "this palace".

"Love for all beings, and love for myself. Now the three paths of heaven, earth, and man are all lingering in my heart," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable. "After the fruit of the Tao was fulfilled, I walked my own path and comprehended the power of the law. Naturally, I returned to my true self, which is completely different from the previous separation."

"How does that affect you?" the Empress asked, "Can the clone still be used?"

"Of course you can," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable with a smile, "I can transform into thousands of forms, and my clones are also me."

As she spoke, dense crowds of figures appeared around her, there were at least hundreds of them. These clones smiled gently at the emperor and empress, then bowed one by one, and directly used the power of Skynet to teleport away. Several of them went to the Tianwu Universe, where she was needed to take charge of the matters in Wangyue Tower.

Several of them went to the reincarnation underworld and served as ferrymen, not only to the reincarnation underworld of the Bahuang Universe, but also to the Daluo Universe and the universes in the Daluo sequence. Several of them went to the Guanglong Universe, and several of them went to the dimensional universe. They soon disappeared and went to where they should go.

"Any changes?" the empress asked her.

"I have transcended the long river of fate and am in control of the One," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable with a smile, "My clones are free of many shackles. They can practice on their own, figure out their own magical powers, and can transform into any number of things, male or female. If a clone dies, it will have no effect on the original body, and I can give birth to a new one."

"Great." The Empress stood up immediately and asked, "What is the strength of the clone?"

"The combat power of one Daluo Xuanxian, the combat power of three Daluo Tianxian, and the combat power of fourteen Daluo Shenxian," said the Hongluan Immortal Venerable, "Taiyi can get thirty, and Golden Immortals can get over a hundred."

"That's enough." The emperor and empress smiled brilliantly.

"This is assuming it does not affect the original body," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable. "If you grit your teeth, you can condense the fighting power of five Daluo Xuanxian, or a Daluo Jinxian clone. Although there is a time limit for existence, if you form a formation with the clone, you can still burst out with powerful power."

The Emperor and Empress didn't know what to say. The art of clone had brought Hongluan Immortal to the extreme. Not only could he clone himself, but the clone also had many magical powers and could even continue to practice. No one had ever heard of a clone being so powerful. Even Hongluan Immortal, who was a Daluo Jinxian, could clone himself into a Daluo Jinxian.

This is simply a shock to my three perspectives. Is this the beginning of the realm of law, the supreme power of the Golden Immortal?

The emperor and empress came to their senses and immediately told the Hongluan Immortal Venerable about the current situation, including that after the Hongluan Immortal Venerable went into seclusion, the Heavenly Court sent the extremely evil Daluo to take over the Bailiu Region, and at the same time used the help of the Lieyang Immortal Sect to plot against the Yueshan Alliance, which led to a melee among the three families, resulting in a war among the Daluo Golden Immortals that lasted for a thousand years, and so on.

"Now, the Heavenly Dao Network has enough authority," the Empress said, "as long as we take action and capture Yueshan Daluo, and then occupy the five universes, we can take out the Five Elements Ring Lock, and our grand plan to capture the universe domain will have taken a crucial step."

"I understand," Hongluan Immortal Venerable nodded, "I can take action at any time."

"Don't you need time to retreat?" asked the Empress.

"I am different from the Emperor," Hongluan Immortal Venerable smiled, "My breakthrough was a natural process. All my insights and powers came naturally. The Emperor is the master of the universe. The feedback after the universe's promotion will allow the Emperor to gain more, so he needs to retreat to digest it."

"I understand," the Empress nodded, "So what do you think? How should we attack the Yueshan Alliance?"

"Now that I'm out of retreat, the Yueshan Alliance is nothing," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable. "We in Heaven will take down the Yueshan Alliance, while the Dragon Clan will take down Huantian Palace, and Chiming Dao Palace will take down Tianzun Fort. I think this is the best outcome. The rest will be handled when Emperor Venerable comes out of retreat."

According to the original plan, Heaven will take down the Yueshan Alliance. After swallowing it up, there will be Daluo Jinxian as Taoist soldiers. By then, the number of Daluo in Heaven will increase, and they can naturally swallow Tianzun Fort. The problem is that the three forces are now fighting each other, which has attracted the attention of the Chiming Taoist Palace and the Dragon Clan. Do they just want to have a bite of the soup?

"That's what I thought, too," the Empress said with a wry smile, "I originally wanted to take down the Yueshan Alliance and then take over Tianzun Castle, but I didn't expect there would be a holy weapon."

As for the Dragon Clan and the Chi Ming Dao Palace, she did not think there was any trouble. The Dragon Clan had already moved their dragon nest to the Saint Universe. To them, the territory occupied by the universe domain only had resources and did not have much practical significance. Even if they let go, it would be no problem as long as the benefits were great enough.

The emperor and empress even thought of directly purchasing the territory through You Wanli. The situation at the Chi Ming Dao Palace was similar. The Chi Ming Dao Palace radiated a large universe, but it itself also belonged to the Saint Universe. Although they did not buy and sell universes, they did not care about other cosmic forces as long as they did not provoke them.

But if there are benefits delivered to their doorstep, they will of course accept them with a smile. This is also the reason why the emperor and empress are confident. But if the Yueshan Alliance can prove that there is really a holy weapon, then it will be different. Neither the Dragon Clan nor the Chi Ming Taoist Palace will miss this opportunity. They will not give up the holy weapon. It is an innate spiritual treasure, and even its prototype is extremely precious.

Even the prototype of the innate spiritual treasure is better, because it is not worthy of a saint to take action, but it meets the needs of a Daluo Jinxian. If a Daluo Jinxian has a prototype of a holy weapon in his hand, he will definitely be invincible. Just look at Yueshan Daluo, he has the capital to please both sides even though he hasn't mastered the prototype of the holy weapon.

"If we want to keep the holy weapon, we have to give up Tianzun Castle and Huantian Palace," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable, "and even if these two are conquered, we have fallen into the trap of the Heavenly Dao anyway, and we will still have a chance to take them down in the future. Our goal is to make friends with those far away and attack those nearby to ensure the interests of the universe."

"You are right. I will make adjustments as soon as possible." The Empress said, "Then you can go and negotiate with the Chi Ming Dao Palace. As for the Dragon Clan, you can only leave it to You Wanli."

"Okay." Hongluan Immortal Venerable nodded, "I will stay in Guanglong Universe and use this to build a presence in the universe."

Only after being promoted to Daluo Jinxian could she discover the incredibleness of the Eight Desolate Universe. It was not in the universe domain, but an independent universe. Even the Hongluan Immortal at this time could not break open the Eight Desolate Universe by force, and could only be transmitted through Skynet. It was because of this that she realized the power and uniqueness of the Lord of the Universe.

Once again, she confirmed her choice of the Eight Desolate Universe and Heaven. She felt that she was right to refuse the call from the Sage of Daluotian. Even in the Sage Universe, it was not as special as she was in the Eight Desolate Universe. No wonder Qinglian Daluo and Qianyu Daluo did not have any other ideas at all.

After leaving the Heavenly Palace, the Immortal Hongluan came to Xuanyoutian.

Her mansion has been rebuilt and is now the residence of the Immortal Lord. It is extremely magnificent. According to the rules of Heaven, the Immortal Lord’s mansion could originally be chosen to be in the upper three heavens, but Heaven respects the wishes of the Immortal Lords. For example, Qianyu Daluo combined his mansion with his sect, while the Immortal Lord Qinglian’s mansion is in Xuanyoutian.

The Immortal Hongluan also chose Xuanyoutian as his residence, which was still the former emperor's residence, but it was expanded and made very magnificent. When the Immortal Hongluan arrived at the mansion, Tiange Taiyi's clone, Chen Lei himself, Yan Xun's clone, Jiang Youning's clone, Zhao Hao himself, and You Daozun and his wife's clones were all there.

In addition, all the Taiyi of Luotian Immortal Sect were present, except for the Natural Disaster Demon God who did not come. Eighteen Golden Immortals came, and more than forty people in total came to pay homage to the newly promoted Immortal Lord. Everyone had a proud smile on their face. After all, he was a newly promoted Immortal Lord. Luotian Immortal Sect finally had an Immortal Lord.

Now, the title of the number one immortal gate in the Eight Desolate Universe and the number one sect in Heaven has been completely established. In the entire Heaven, only the Luotian Immortal Gate has an Immortal Master, and he is a self-promoted Immortal Master. Small sects like the Qianyu Immortal Gate, which has only a dozen disciples and an Immortal Master from outside, are naturally not as good as the Luotian Immortal Gate.

The Immortal Hongluan asked everyone to sit down, and when they met again, she didn't wait for anyone to speak, and began to preach to everyone, starting from the True Immortals and all the way to the promotion to Daluo. This was not the way of others, but her way of cultivation. This kind of opportunity was rare, and not everyone could hear it.
