243: Chapter 242: Enfeoffment (4th update, please subscribe) 243: Chapter 242: Enfeoffment (4th update, please subscribe) After all, this Daoist dared to invoke Hong Jun, the Ancestor of Daoism, and The Three Pure Ones when making his case, an act far from trivial.

If what he said was true, wouldn’t this Daoist be a living Ancient Daluo Golden Immortal?

Daluo Golden Immortal, that’s a being transcending the Three Realms, outside the cycle of the Five Elements, the most venerable figure.

Not to mention the mere Heavenly Court, but even in front of all the major daos, Group of Immortals and Demon Kings would have to address them respectfully as Ancestors.

Just as everyone was pondering their own thoughts, they saw Gold Star Taibai with a solemn expression quietly appearing beside the Jade Emperor, placing a Jade Butterfly in front of the Jade Emperor.

His voice was even tinier than a mosquito’s whine, saying, “Your Majesty, I have checked the Immortal Register of the Heavens, and there is no record of this person.

Moreover, I have secretly contacted the Ten Palaces Yama, and even the Life and Death Book does not contain the origins of this person.”

“Hiss!”

Although Gold Star Taibai’s voice was low, every Immortal present heard it clearly.

This made the immortals of Heaven take a sharp intake of breath, their eyes flashing with shock as they looked at Ye Xuan.

It wasn’t just the Immortals, but even the Jade Emperor himself narrowed his eyes, his breath becoming somewhat unstable.

It’s known that the Earth Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, but every creature is recorded in a book, and there are three sacred books in this world.

First is the Immortal Record of the Heavens, also known as the Heavenly Book, which records the roots of all gods and Immortals.

Second is the Life and Death Book, which controls the cycle of life and death, recording the souls of all ages.

Third is the Earth Book, which is owned by Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, where all spirits, demons, and ghosts rooted in Heaven and Earth are listed.

Any being that becomes an Immortal would have their names written in the Heavenly Book; there has never been an exception to this ironclad rule of the Earth Immortal Realm.

However, Ye Xuan, who was clearly a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, had no record in the Heavenly Book at all.

There was only one possibility for this.

This possibility was that what Ye Xuan said was true; he had achieved Dao during the Primordial Period, and he was indeed of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

Since Daluo Golden Immortals transcend the Three Realms and are outside the Five Elements, Ye Xuan’s name naturally would not be recorded in the Heavenly Book.

It was just that, during the great witch and demon calamity of ancient times, he fell, and only a sliver of his True Spirit remained, which, after an endless passage of time, regathered into an Immortal body to see the light of day once more.

After all, a Daluo Golden Immortal is still a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Even though this Daoist’s cultivation had fallen to that of a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, he was still able to annihilate Yuan Mo, which was within reason.

The Immortals gathered started entertaining this idea, and they now believed Ye Xuan’s words to a great extent, nodding respectfully towards him, clearly with the intention of making his acquaintance.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, a cold snort was heard.

Among the assembly of Immortals, the Longevity Heavenly Venerate from the southern direction distinguished himself from the crowd and directly reprimanded the Deity of Fire Virtue and the Immortal of Colossal Spirit, saying, “Two mere Immortal Officials dared to slander Daoist Ye.

They should indeed walk on the Immortal Slaying Stage once.”

With the furious reprimand from the Longevity Heavenly Venerate, the faces of the Deity of Fire Virtue and the Immortal of Colossal Spirit turned deathly pale, realizing they had provoked a great disaster.

They knelt down towards the Jade Emperor, bowing continuously, their voices trembling as they said, “We plead for clear insight from the Jade Emperor.

We only did such a reckless act for the sake of the Heavenly Court’s honor.

We beg Your Majesty for forgiveness.”

At that moment, the Jade Emperor’s mind was also in turmoil, but since both men were his subordinates, he naturally could not truly punish them.

This made him speak in a gentle tone, “Although the Deity of Fire Virtue and the Immortal of Colossal Spirit are at fault, they also considered the Heavenly Court’s interests.

You two are sentenced to ponder your actions in seclusion for a hundred years.”

“Hmph!”

The Longevity Immortal Venerable from the south let out another cold hum to express his dissatisfaction with the Jade Emperor.

He turned and walked towards the outside of the Palace of the Polestar, but as he passed by Ye Xuan, he paused and turned back to look at the assembly of Immortals.

His voice was chilling to the bone.

“Daoist Ye is an Ancient Daluo Golden Immortal, who lived through the chaotic witch and demon great calamity.

Although his cultivation has greatly diminished in this life, he is a person of utmost good within our lineage of Taoism.

If anyone in the Heavenly Court dares to insult him, that would be an insult to our Taoist lineage.

Even if I am but a Taiyi Golden Immortal, I will not stand idly by.”

Changsheng Heavenly Venerate spoke these words not just for the group of Immortals to hear, but also for the Jade Emperor, rendering the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace slightly awkward, yet no one dared to come forward to blame the Changsheng Immortal Venerable.

Because everyone present knew that Changsheng Heavenly Venerate was not only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but the Daoist lineage behind him was also immensely terrifying.

Only someone tired of living would provoke such a person.

For a moment, the Lingxiao Palace was silent, while the Jade Emperor sitting on the high seat showed no shame or anger on his face, as if such situations were an everyday occurrence for him.

Yet, if one observed closely, they would notice a glint of cold killing intent flash across the eyes of the Three Realms Supreme, obviously not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

“Daoist Ye, you and I are both from Taoism.

If you find yourself at leisure, you are welcome to visit my Changsheng Palace,” the southern Changsheng Immortal Venerable gave Ye Xuan a respectful bow, offering a smile of goodwill, then mounted his auspicious clouds and floated away.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan, with his extraordinary demeanor, stood undisturbed and tranquil in the Lingxiao Palace.

Although his cultivation was only that of a Taiyi Mystic Immortal, not a single Immortal dared to slight him.

“Yuan Mo has caused chaos across the Three Realms and its sins are unforgivable.

Now, the Independent Immortal Ye Xuan from the Lower Realm, having contributed to the subjugation of Yuan Mo in favor of the Three Realms, is hereby conferred a place in the Immortal Class, put in charge of the three thousand soldiers of the Heavenly River Navy, designated master of the Luanyun Palace, and granted the title of Immortal Demon-Conquering Manifest Saint True Monarch.”

The Jade Emperor’s voice was resolute and direct in conferring Ye Xuan, yet not a word was mentioned about Ye Xuan being an Ancient Daluo Golden Immortal.

“Retreat!”

The Jade Emperor rose from his throne and left the Lingxiao Palace, leaving the group of Immortals looking stupefied, their gazes towards Ye Xuan filled with complexity.

By rights, Ye Xuan, who had attained Dao during the Primordial Period and was an Ancient Daluo Golden Immortal, should not be satisfied with just the title of a mere True Monarch, even though his current cultivation had fallen to that of a Taiyi Mystic Immortal.

What astonished the group of Immortals most was the sensitivity of the title bestowed by the Jade Emperor.

Immortal Demon-Conquering Manifest Saint True Monarch!

It is known that the Earth Immortal Realm is boundless, with countless famous mountains and great rivers occupied by Demon Kings.

These Demon Kings, powerful in mana, debate Dao with Bodhisattvas, befriend the Four Sea Dragon Kings, traverse the skies and burrow into the earth as if walking on flat land, and some Heavenly Demons are equal to the Ten Palaces Yama and capable of discussing antiquity with great Immortal powers.

These Demon Kings have been insubordinate to the Heavenly Court for tens of thousands of years.

At this moment, the title ‘Immortal Demon-Conquering Manifest Saint True Monarch’ conferred to Ye Xuan by the Jade Emperor contains profound and complex implications.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan’s expression was serene and undisturbed, but inwardly he sneered repeatedly, yet he did not voice any contradiction.

Because Ye Xuan knew, he had spun a colossal lie.

Although the Heavenly Book did not record his origins and his lie seemed seamless, what was false was still false, unable to withstand scrutiny and verification.

Furthermore, Ye Xuan could sense that the Jade Emperor had an unfathomable cultivation and did not believe his words at all.

He harbored some wariness in his heart, which was why he conferred such a title.

He suspected things would not be so simple in the future.

Ye Xuan was also wise to the situation, and since there was mutual caution between the two, a temporary peace was possible.

But Ye Xuan also had his own plans.

Since he had been conferred such a title by the Jade Emperor, he was now a man of the Heavenly Court, and this complex and intricate court was an opportunity for Ye Xuan to rise.
