Chapter 2224 Immortal Paragon

Chapter 2224 Immortal Paragon

The information about an Immortal Paragon was entirely new to Lin Mu.

While he had learned a bit about the Immortal Court, he was still unaware of their major workings. Though that was not unusual either, as it was mostly information that people of the Immortal Court would know or those at the higher echelons of the realm. For example, an Emperor might know how things went in the Immortal Court, but that information might not be all encompassing.

This was intentional too, as the Immortal Court preferred their internal workings to be limited to those that were within their camp. "They don't have Immortal Paragons at the helm anymore?" Lin Mu heard the surprised voice of Xukong. "Is the Immortal Court in a depression?" he wondered.

"You know of them senior?" Lin Mu asked.

"Of course. Immortal Paragons can be considered as one of the most important cultivators in the entire Immortal Realm. They can dictate the working of an Immortal Court and command great power, both physical as well as political." Xukong replied.

"What did Crown Prince Feng Shun mean by not every Immortal Court leader is qualified to become one?" Lin Mu questioned, seeing that Crown Prince and his companions were still thinking about the ring, giving him some time.

"In order to become an Immortal Paragon, not only does the leader have to be strong and be selected by the majority of an Immortal Court, they also need to gain the approval of the Paragon's Will." Xukong answered. "Paragon's Will? What's that?" Lin Mu asked.

"You can think of it as the collective will of every Immortal Paragon that has been in the Immoral Courts since times immemorial. They decide whether an Immortal would be qualified to become an Immortal Paragon.

As to how they decide this, or what the conditions are, that are unknown to me. Even the immortal courts themselves don't know the conditions. The Paragon's Will is independent of the Immortal Court's control and cannot be opposed." Xukong explained.

"Wait, so simply by having the ring one can have the same rights as an Immortal Paragon?" Lin Mu hoped it was not like that, as it would be a grave oversight.

"Of course not." Xukong said, making Lin Mu relieved. "They will obviously not be accepted by the immortal Court, but that doesn't mean that all the privileges will be voided. They will still be able to access some of the exclusive services and wealth that the Immortal Paragon has.

Since that is bound to the ring itself, rather than the person and one doesn't necessarily need to show their face to use them." He elaborated.

"That... Is quite bad... But also very lucrative." Lin Mu spoke. "Indeed." Xukong nodded. "Though I wonder what generation this Immortal Paragon Ring is from. It is certainly not a ring from the recent generations. Even if I consider the last fifty generations, I doubt a ring would have been left out." He added.

"Looks like we'll have to see it ourselves to know whom it belonged to." Lin Mu said before a shout of shock was heard.

"What in name of heavens!?" "What happened?" Lin Mu snapped out of his conversation and looked at Crown Prince Feng Shun and his companions that were gathered around a hexagonal pillar.

But they didn't reply to him, prompting Lin Mu to check it himself. He walked over and peeked at the pillar that showed a single line.

<Immortal Paragon Ring>

<Cost: 300,000,000 credit>

Seeing the line, Lin Mu quickly understood their shock.
