Chapter 651: Dao Ancestor’s Disciple, New Situation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Shouldn’t the seats be ranked according to seniority?”
An old man said. He was the sixteenth person to reach the Zenith Heaven Realm, so he should be seated in the second row. He was extremely dissatisfied when he saw Divine Lord Aurora occupying a seat in the second row.
With someone taking the lead, the other Zenith Heaven Immortal echoed. They could not stand Divine Lord Aurora’s arrogance.
Divine Lord Aurora was an anomaly in the Zenith Heaven Realm. Unlike what the Supreme Kunlun said, Zenith Heaven did care a lot about face. In fact, they no longer had any pursuits, so face was their greatest pursuit. The Zenith Heaven Immortals practically maintained politeness between each other and would not embarrass each other. After all, no one could kill each other. However, Divine Lord Aurora was different. His challenges always embarrassed the opposing Zenith Heaven Immortal, so he was extremely unpopular.
“Divine Lord Aurora, this is the Purple Cloud Palace. How can you mess around?”
“The Immortal Dao places great importance on seniority. If you do not respect your seniors, there will be juniors who will not respect you in the future. If this continues, won’t the atmosphere of the Immortal Dao be ruined?”
“That’s right. Listening at the back is no different from listening at the front. However, if you were to sit at the front without permission, it would be disrespectful to your seniors.”
“Go to the back, junior!”
The other Zenith Heaven Immortals remained silent as they looked at the few Zenith Heaven Immortals criticizing Divine Lord Aurora. Including the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor and Kunlun Dao, they all felt that it was the same no matter where they sat. Distance was meaningless to the Dao Ancestor, but Divine Lord Aurora being so rash did not look good.
Divine Lord Aurora frowned and anger appeared in his eyes. He did not snatch it. He was just fast enough.
In his opinion, since they were not proactive in listening to the lecture, who could they blame?
Furthermore, who said that respecting seniors was a must?
After cultivating until now, he, Divine Lord Aurora, had nothing to do with the Zenith Heaven cultivators present. If he had to respect someone, he would only respect the Dao Ancestor!
Just as Divine Lord Aurora was about to flare up, Bai Qi walked over and said, “Alright, hurry up and sit down. Perhaps the Dao Ancestor is already watching.”
With that said, the Zenith Heaven Immortals around Divine Lord Aurora found seats one after another and did not dare to continue.
In less than two breaths, all the Zenith Heaven Immortals sat down.
Bai Qi glanced at Divine Lord Aurora secretly before walking to the Dao Ancestor’s prayer mat and standing there.
Dong
A familiar bell sounded, causing all the Zenith Heaven Immortals to sit upright.
This was the sound of the bell they would hear once they first entered the Mental Wander Realm, and they would never forget it.
A silver light descended from the sky and landed on the Dao Ancestor’s praying mat. Jiang Changsheng appeared and his Daoist robe fluttered. He sat down in a very natural posture and the gazes of the Zenith Heaven Immortals landed on him.
The Ultimate Yang Divine Light covered his face, but the Creation Origin Crown coupled with his figure made him look extremely perfect. He was elegant and divine, making one’s imagination run wild.
“Greetings, Dao Ancestor!”
The Zenith Heaven cultivators spoke in unison. With their high cultivation, none of them fell behind. The moment someone spoke, the others immediately followed up and spoke in unison.
Jiang Changsheng’s gaze swept across all of them. He did not take the previous disputes to heart. Where there were people, there would be open and covert strife. This was very normal. Even if he spoke, he could only restrain them on the surface. However, the dissatisfaction in their heart would only increase.
“Everyone here is a Zenith Heaven Immortal, and you are the pillars of the Immortal Dao. I am very satisfied with your efforts and achievements. Today, I will preach the Zenith Heaven Dao to you so that you can reach the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm as soon as possible. At the same time, I should tell you the end-point of the Zenith Heaven Realm.”
Jiang Changsheng slowly said. His words shocked all the Zenith Heaven Immortals.
The end-point of the Zenith Heaven Realm?
Could it be that there was another sub-realm above the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm?
Even though they had already guessed it, they had yet to even touch the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. How could they imagine the realm above the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm?
Without waiting for them to ask, Jiang Changsheng began to preach.
Bai Qi took out a cushion and sat beside him as she listened.
The moment Jiang Changsheng spoke, he mentioned the Dao of the Zenith Heaven Realm. Those who were not in the Zenith Heaven Realm would not understand it at all. This was the Dao Intent of the Great Dao.
Bai Qi was also soon immersed in it. Jiang Changsheng’s Daoist voice echoed in the Purple Cloud Palace, and Mu Lingluo, who was in the inner hall, was also listening.
Starting from the moment a Zenith Heaven Immortal restrained his will, Jiang Changsheng gradually guided them into the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm and used his Dao Intent to let them feel the profundity of the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm.
This sermon lasted for three thousand years.
For a Zenith Heaven Immortal, three thousand years was a short time, not to mention three thousand years of listening to the Dao.
After the sermon ended, the Zenith Heaven cultivators still looked unsatisfied. All of them looked at Jiang Changsheng with anticipation.
They still did not know the realm above the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. Moreover, the Dao Ancestor did not have the intention to chase them out, which meant that the sermon had yet to end.
“Dao Ancestor, may I ask what is the end-point of the Zenith Heaven Realm?”
The Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor asked. Only he dared to be the first to speak.
Jiang Changsheng answered, “I divided the Zenith Heaven Realm into three sub-realms. The first is the Zenith Heaven Transcendence Realm. Zenith Heaven Immortals in this realm have transcended out of the past and the future. The second is the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. A Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortal is unaffected by karma and fate. The third is Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. Their souls have transformed into the Great Dao and are undying.”
Zenith Heaven Transcendence!
Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm!
Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
The Zenith Heaven cultivators were dazzled by the Dao Ancestor’s simple description.
Kunlun Dao asked, “Dao Ancestor, the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm is not affected by karma. Does that mean that one can ignore the power of karma?”
He was thinking about how to deal with Zhou Gua. This problem kept staying in his mind, making it hard for him to bear.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Naturally, it is to resist the pure laws of karma. If we encounter a stronger power of karma, such as Zhou Gua, the Divine Idol form might not be able to completely resist it. However, if Zhou Gua wants to plot against a Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortal with the power of karma, the Divine Idol will notice it in advance.”
Hearing this, Kunlun Dao nodded. Just detecting it in advance was enough to make people look forward to it.
There was no distinction between the 3000 Great Daos. The real determinant of strength was one’s realm. Reaching the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm would bring about an increase in one’s realm and cause a qualitative change in one’s body and soul. This was what they pursued.
The Zenith Heaven Immortals present could not touch the threshold of the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm, nor could they rely on themselves to explore a higher realm.
The Celestial Emperor sat in the second row. He was curious if his father was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal or if he had already jumped out of the Zenith Heaven Realm.
He felt that it was the latter.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Every ten thousand years, I will give another sermon. After I finish giving three sermons, I will take in the Zenith Heaven Immortal, who has benefited the most from the three sermons. I will accept that person as my personal disciple and help him advance to the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. And the Zenith Heaven Immortals, who benefit the second most and the third most, can obtain a Great Dao Fruit each. This fruit can allow one to comprehend the Great Dao and obtain the qualifications to reach the Zenith Heaven Realm.”
Hearing this, all the Zenith Heaven Immortals were shocked.
Be it the opportunity to be the Dao Ancestor’s personal disciple or the Great Dao Fruit, it made them excited.
Most of the Zenith Heaven Immortals present had established a sect. Even if they did not, they still had their own disciples and children. If they could nurture a Zenith Heaven Immortal, this would greatly definitely benefit them.
The Supreme Kunlun hurriedly asked, “Dao Ancestor, how do you evaluate our progress?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “At that time, you will feel it. Alright, you can go back now. Come back in ten thousand years.”
With that said, Jiang Changsheng waved his hand. All the Zenith Heaven Immortals felt their vision blur. When they focused their gazes, they were shocked to discover that they had arrived outside the hall.
Even the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor was in a trance.
The difference was too great.
In the face of the power of the Dao Ancestor, they could not even react in time. Just like how mortals faced Immortal Gods, this made them yearn to be the personal disciple of the Dao Ancestor even more.
A personal disciple!
This was not only a great opportunity, but also a leap in status!
All the Zenith Heaven Immortals were ignited with fighting spirit, including the Celestial Emperor. He was looking forward to the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm. He did not want to beg his father for this opportunity. He wanted to rely on his own efforts to obtain this opportunity.
All the Zenith Heaven Immortals immediately dispersed. They wanted to seize the time and strive to improve themselves so that they could fight for the opportunities before them.
On the other side.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Bring Ping’an and Huang Chuan here.”
He had four Great Dao Fruits, and he had deliberately kept two for himself. Ping’an was his first disciple, and Huang Chuan was his third disciple. Excluding the Celestial Emperor, Huang Chuan could be considered his second disciple. He also had another disciple named Ling Xiao, and they were all disciples he had taken in when he was at Longqi Temple. Right now, they were all Immortal Emperors.
He would first nurture Ping’an and Huang Chuan into Zenith Heaven Immortals. As for Ling Xiao, he would have to wait.
After so many years, very few people remembered that the Dao Ancestor had these three disciples, and the three of them would not flaunt themselves with their identities.
When Bai Qi heard that, she immediately smiled and left.
The dojo in the hall disappeared and returned to its original appearance.
Mu Lingluo walked over and asked, “You have more Great Dao Fruits?”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and nodded.
Mu Lingluo lamented, “I’ve finally waited for this day. In fact, you should have nurtured them a long time ago. I thought you were taboo about this relationship.”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “How can that be? It’s just reaching the Zenith Heaven Realm is not that simple. I can only get one Great Dao Fruit once every million years. Moreover, becoming an Immortal Emperor is already a height that most beings cannot reach.”
It was not that he did not take care of his disciples, but there was no need to raise them to the first-echelon of the Immortal Dao.
Even though the three of them did not claim to be the Dao Ancestor’s disciples, no one dared to provoke them in the Immortal Dao.
Mu Lingluo asked, “Who do you think can become your personal disciple?”
Jiang Changsheng said meaningfully, “I can deduce it. As for who it is, just wait and see. Consider it as leaving you some expectations for your future.”
Mu Lingluo smiled and said, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor. After all, his position as the number one Zenith Heaven Immortal has never wavered.”
Jiang Changsheng grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He whispered, “Let’s talk about you.”
He had another reason for sending Bai Qi away.
Someone spread the news that the Dao Ancestor was going to take in a disciple in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. There were even rumors that if one became the disciple of the Dao Ancestor, they could become the ruler of the Heavenly Dao.

For a moment, all the sects were fighting openly and covertly to gain momentum for the Zenith Heaven Immortals of their respective sects.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, who was the number one person under the Dao Ancestor, was not favored. After all, he had been stuck in the Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Realm for so many years. Just like the Kunlun Leader, who was once the number one person under the Dao Ancestor, was stopped by the Zenith Heaven threshold until he disappeared without a trace.
The qualifications of each major realm were different. Therefore, a lot of people felt that Divine Lord Aurora had a good chance.
With him being the most dazzling existence in the Zenith Heaven Realm, coupled with the fact that he was young, most Immortal Emperors believed that he had the most hope. He might also be like the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor and change the structure of the Immortal Dao.
Just like that, after ten thousand years, the sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace began again.
