The Heavenly Court possesses the right to mint coins and determine prices, but these two powers are supervised by the Grand Luos of the various heavens, and only with the approval of more than half of the Grand Luos of the Primordial, can the Heavenly Court issue an appropriate amount of Spiritual Coins and alter the value of treasures.

Boom!

At this moment, more than half of the Grand Luos of the Primordial were gathered in the Yaochi Fairyland, and with their unanimous consent, the Heavenly Dao immediately descended boundless Merit.

Of this Heavenly Dao Merit, thirty percent merged into the "Treasure Coin," transforming it from a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure into a Top Grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure.

The remaining seventy percent was divided among the Grand Luos who participated in this matter. Although each Daluo didn’t get much, the small benefits that each of them obtained added up to quite a bit!

Xuanqing couldn’t help but come up with a bold idea in his mind; if he were to establish a Grand Luo council, would he be able to guide the development of the great trends of the Heavenly Dao?

As his gaze swept over the Immortal Gods around him, it happened to meet with Yuanshi Tianzun, and he knew that this Second Teacher Uncle must have had a similar thought!

Sure enough, without waiting for him to speak, Yuanshi Tianzun used his Divine Skills to pull his consciousness, along with that of Taiching and Tongtian Sect Master, into a mysterious space: "I have a bold idea!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was straightforward, starting off by saying: "If we could always guide the voting and decision-making process of the Grand Luos of all heavens like we did today, then the great trend of the Heavenly Dao would naturally be in the hands of the three teachings of Xuan Sect!"

"Perhaps, we could establish an alliance, invite the Grand Luos of all heavens to join, and collectively decide on the matters of the Primordial, thus guiding the grand trends of the Primordial World!"

Upon hearing this, Taiching shook his head with a sigh: "It’s not that simple. In this debate assembly, our Xuan Sect acted as the host, coupled with preaching about the Great Dao of Saints, these Grand Luos received benefits and were willing to give us some face, agreeing to Xuanqing’s two proposals!"

"If we really formed a Grand Luo council, not to mention others, Houtu, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, might not stand on the same line with us!"

"And moreover..."

"If it came to a voting decision, one vote per Grand Luo, although our Xuan Sect currently has an impressive momentum, we do fall behind in terms of foundations!"

"The disciples of my Human Sect, just Xuan Dou alone, and your Chan Sect with Nanji, Yun Zhongzi, plus the Twelve Golden Immortals, add up to only fourteen Daluo Golden Immortals. Despite Tongtian Sect showcasing the grand occasion of myriad Immortals attending court, among those who are Grand Luos in the Sect, aside from direct disciples like Xuanqing, Duobao, and Jin Ling, there are only a few others like the Attendant Seven Immortals, Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiaos, Luo Xuan, and Lv Yue. We only have a few more than your Chan Sect, not enough to cause any waves!"

"Not to mention, I’m not aware of the exact numbers, but the Human Race now also has more than thirty Grand Luos, and the Dragon Clan alone has over a hundred Grand Luos revealed!"

"How many Grand Luos the Demon Clan and the Phoenix Clan have is unknown to us, and the number of Great Witches among the Witch Clan is certainly not limited to what is apparent on the surface!"

Despite the grand assembly at Yaochi this time, with nearly a thousand Daluo Golden Immortals participating, just the Dragon Clan alone had over a hundred Grand Luos maintaining the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" in the Ancient Starry Sky, outnumbering the three teachings of Xuan Sect.

Although the Demon Clan has been declining year by year, the number of Demon Gods who hid in various realms after the war between witches and demons is definitely not small.

On the surface, there are only more than twenty Great Witches in the Witch Clan but with the "Pangu Blood Pool" and Houtu, who knows when dozens of Great Witches might suddenly appear.

The rise of Xuan Sect has only been a matter of a few decades, and with figures like Taiching supervising it, the strength appears to far surpass the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Demon Clan, Witch Clan, and others. However, the foundation falls short.

"This is a good idea!"

Taiching continued: "But if we promote it now, there’s no advantage for our Xuan Sect. We should still consider it over the long term."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun furrowed his brows: "The Dragon Clan is on good terms with Jie Sect, the Three Emperors of the Human Race could fall into place also due to our Sect’s disciples having a deep relationship with them. Zhen Yuanzi is on good terms with me, perhaps we could persuade a few to join! If it takes our three teachings of Xuan Sect’s Daluo Golden Immortal Cultivators surpassing those old powers, who knows how many years it would take!"

"Big brother!"

"Time waits for no one!"

None of the Grand Luos are fools; if he can think of it, Xuanqing can too, and others may come up with it as well at any time!

Such a matter, of course, would give a dominating advantage to the one who proposed it first, and Yuanshi Tianzun didn’t want to cede this opportunity to other Cultivators.

Tongtian Sect Master felt that both sides made some sense and couldn’t favor either party, so he turned to Xuanqing and said: "Xuanqing, there are pros and cons to this matter, how do you think we should handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing immediately fell into contemplation and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "This matter could perhaps be handled by making a compromise! We can propose to establish a Grand Luo council now, but currently, it’s best not to let the Grand Luo council interfere with guiding the great trends of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Go on!"

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately perked up with interest: "If we don’t guide the development of the great trends of the Heavenly Dao, what should this Grand Luo council be used for?"

"Naturally, it’s for discussing the Dao!"

Xuanqing slowly stated: "Our teacher and two uncles are the ancestors of the Heavenly Immortals, while Zhen Yuanzi the Great Immortal is the ancestor of Earth Immortals, and as a disciple who opened up the path of Ghost Immortals, I am also considered the ancestor of Ghost Immortals! In addition, with Li Tan cultivating Martial Arts and with Xuanyuan’s assistance, Martial Arts already has tendencies of forming a Human Immortal System! Coupled with the fact that my Second Uncle now controls the Investiture of the Gods, able to enthrone Immortal Gods, we can take advantage of the situation to invite other great powers to join and contribute to the Immortal Path System!"

Below Grand Luo, there is still a path to follow, but beyond Grand Luo, everyone’s journey diverges greatly, and discussion and exchange are the best ways for growth in cultivation.

Xuanqing then sought to take this opportunity to lay the foundation of the five Immortal systems of heaven, earth, human, divine, and ghost in the whole universe, allowing the three teachings of Xuan Sect to obtain the majority of the discourse power of the Immortal Dao.

In the future, all beings in the Primordial who cultivate the Heavenly Immortal Dao would owe a debt of causality to the Three Pure Ones, and those who cultivate the path of Ghost Immortals would owe Xuanqing the same.

The way of the Immortal Gods is the same!

As for the Earth Immortal Dao and the Human Immortal Dao, these are to draw in Zhen Yuanzi and the Human Race.

Shennong’s cultivation of the Divine Farmer’s Dao and the Method of Self is also a variant of the Earth Immortal Dao. He and Zhen Yuanzi are allies worth vying for.

"What about the Buddhist Sect?"

Tongtian Sect Master spoke slowly, "This method indeed can make most beings in the Primordial World become vassals to the Xuan Sect’s three teachings and the Immortal Dao! But those two from the West have openly rebelled against Xuan and established Buddhism!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing could not help but laugh, "Buddhism is itself a part of the Dao! Although those two Saints rebelled against Xuan to establish Buddhism, it’s not like they never comprehended the Great Dao of Xuan. When the Purple Cloud Palace held its three lectures, they even shamelessly sought apprenticeship, becoming registered disciples of the Daoist Ancestor of the Purple Cloud Palace. How could such karma be easily severed?"

"Those two, after stealing the origins of the Heavenly Dao and transferring their allegiance to the Earth Dao, might no longer be in debt, but this action has undoubtedly shifted the Daoist Ancestor’s karma, which was owed by the West, onto the Earth Dao! The Heavenly Dao does not owe karma to the West, but the two from the West are in debt to the Daoist Ancestor for the impartation of teachings!"

"After all..."

"Those two from the West also cultivate the Slash Three Corpses method passed down by the Daoist Ancestor, and their treasures for suppressing fate were also bestowed by that Daoist Ancestor!"

"Since you, teacher, and the two fellow senior brothers are the orthodox lineage of the Xuan Sect, why not make use of the Daoist Ancestor’s influence to make those two compromise a little?"

In Xuanqing’s view, although the Daoist Ancestor seemed indifferent on the surface about those two establishing Buddhism, who knows if he has set a trap for them somewhere!

If the Daoist Ancestor were so simple, the Daoist Ancestor of the Primordial World would probably have been replaced long ago!

"Excellent!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded his head in approval.

In his view, Xuanqing’s suggestion was perfect. With the Daoist Ancestor being out of sight for so long, they might take this opportunity to divide the authority of the Immortal Dao and lessen the influence of the Daoist Ancestor over it!

Taiching Laozi also found the idea commendable: "Then let’s leave this matter to you to handle!"

Tongtian Sect Master also nodded slightly.

The three of them placed great trust in Xuanqing’s capabilities; with their support behind him, they also believed that Xuanqing could handle everything well.

Yuanshi Tianzun’s Divine Skills soon dissipated, and the consciousnesses of the four returned to reality.

Seeing many cultivators in the Heavenly Court exchanging Spiritual Coins and trading treasures, Xuanqing immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Our Heavenly Court will specially open a market for Daoist friends to trade their treasures. There’s no need for everyone to rush! The reason I’ve invited you Daoists to join in the discourse is actually related to another matter!"

"The most important thing in cultivating the Immortal Dao is wealth, companions, spells, and lands. Spiritual Coins are wealth, Daoist friends are companions, and this is also an opportunity to contribute to the Immortal Path System!"

"Heaven, Earth, and Man are the three talents, with Heaven above, Earth below, and Man in the middle. The Three Pure Ones perfected the Heavenly Immortal System, rightfully regarded as the Ancestors of Heavenly Immortals in the Primordial World. Zhen Yuanzi the Great Immortal perfected the Earth Immortal System, with Earth Emperor Shennong contributing to it, and both can be considered the Ancestors of Earth Immortals in the Primordial World! Furthermore, Warlord Li Tan founded Martial Arts, and Human Emperor Xuanyuan perfected Human Immortal Martial Arts; the two’s contributions to the Immortal Dao merit recognition as the Ancestors of Human Immortals too!"

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Aoguang immediately praised, "Your Majesty’s words are most true. The three Saints and the four Daoist friends are all the founders of the Immortal Path System!"

"However, I believe that Your Majesty, having founded the Ghost Immortal Path, has carved out a lifeline for the billions of spirits in the Primordial World. Your achievements are comparable to the Pioneers of the Paths!"

"I think, just as there are four Heavenly Pillars supporting the four corners of the sky and earth, the Immortal Dao should also have four pillars of support!"

Shennong also took the chance to speak, "What Aoguang Daoist has said is correct. Daoist friend Xuanqing created the Ghost Immortal Path, and while I was perfecting the Divine Farmer System, I also received help from Daoist friend Xuanqing and Daoist Chi Jingzi from the Chan Sect! Additionally, Daoist friend Xuanqing opened up the fourth realm of Daluo, enough to be called a Pioneer of Paths!"

Although he did not know what Xuanqing aimed to achieve, since Aoguang had already spoken, he did not mind helping boost Xuanqing’s reputation even further!

"Indeed!"

Zhen Yuanzi also voiced his agreement.

Hearing this, Xuanqing readily took advantage of the momentum and said, "Then I dare not refuse! However, there are Jian Mu that act as Heavenly Pillars supporting the Primordial World, there should be five Heavenly Pillars! Recently, I focused on the authority of heaven and earth and have explored a path of Immortal cultivation! Today, I will share it with all Daoist friends!"

Speaking of which, "Innate Sui Tree" manifested, evolving into a Daluo Heaven powered by incense: "Unlike the systems of Heavenly Immortal, Earth Immortal, Human Immortal, and Ghost Immortal, the core of the Divine Immortal System lies in unifying the gods and the Dao, using authority to leverage the power of heaven and earth, and constructing the flawless Golden Body Dharma Form with the Power of Incense Faith!"

Boom!

As Xuanqing spoke, he performed the transformation. The Daluo Heaven of incense collapsed instantly, transforming into the "Suihuang Golden Body," and a vast power swept across the void.

The eyes of many cultivators lit up. Beings from the Ancient Starry Sky era, such as the Candle Dragon, were deeply engaged in studying the Divine Dao.

Yet even they did not expect that the Divine Dao could be combined with the Immortal Dao to form the Divine Immortal System, which also held no prerequisites for cultivator’s aptitude.

God-given rights!

Even if your aptitude is poor, as long as you have sufficient incense faith power, you could pile up to become a Daluo. Currently, many of the Dragon Clan hold divine positions!

Star Gods in the Ancient Starry Sky and gods of Cloud Movement and Rain Formation, as well as numerous Dragon Gods in the lakes and seas...

Of course, it is not easy for ordinary cultivators to gather as much incense faith as Xuanqing, who is the Human Tribe’s Sui Emperor, Tai Mountain Lord, and now even acting as the Primordial Heavenly Emperor.

However, with the scale of the Dragon Clan, if they dedicated themselves to nurturing, creating a few Daluo Divine Immortals within a few aeons wouldn’t be a difficult task.

Other Great Divine Ability beings also saw the possibilities, particularly those with their own clans, who could cultivate the Divine Immortal System transmitted by Xuanqing, to add a protective Divine Powers spell to their paths.

Jieyin Daoist frowned slightly, noticing that the Divine Immortal System proposed by Xuanqing shared several similarities with their Buddhist Sect’s Golden Body Method and the Grand Vow Path.

Xuanqing, however, slowly spoke up, "Within the Celestial Circle, there should be Five Immortals: Heaven, Earth, Man, Gods, Ghosts. These five Immortal Paths shall be the orthodox of the Immortal Dao in the Primordial World!"

"I wonder if anyone disagrees?"
