Chapter 393: The Immortal Domain Conference (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Wu Xinming)
For three consecutive days, Lan Xiaobu busied himself setting up various spatial arrays.
He placed nine-level spatial immortal arrays around key areas of Jinyun Immortal City and the royal palace of Qingfang Immortal Court.
This was where Lan Xiaobu's confidence lay.
After setting up the protective grand array for the Five Realms Immortal World, he had gained the ability to deploy nine-level spatial immortal arrays.
During these three days, neither the officials of Qingfang Immortal Domain nor Jinyun Immortal City came to find Lan Xiaobu.
The Jiting Chamber of Commerce also stayed away.
As for Mou Yichen, who had mentioned going back to discuss matters, he too had not returned.
"Master Lan, are you confident?" Gong Yunqi asked as Lan Xiaobu returned.
Having accompanied Lan Xiaobu to destroy the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool and suppress the Four Emperor Palaces, Gong Yunqi had faith in Lan Xiaobu.
However, he was also aware that this situation was different from the one with the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool.
This time, they were dealing with an entire immortal domain, and Qingfang Immortal Domain's strength far surpassed that of the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool.
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively.
"No need to worry. There won't be any issues."
As soon as Lan Xiaobu finished speaking, a majestic voice echoed through the void.
"I am Shen Sen, the Immortal King of Qingfang Immortal Court. I now invite representatives from all immortal domains within our immortal realm to gather at the Qingfang Immortal Court's royal palace to discuss the allocation of spots for the Chaos Secret Realm. Fellow immortals, upon hearing this, please proceed to the Qingfang Immortal Court's royal palace immediately."
"This guy is impressive. He must be at least a half-step Divine Realm expert," Gong Yunqi muttered, feeling a sense of awe at the transmission.
Lan Xiaobu nodded.
"He is indeed powerful, but this transmission is also aided by the arrays of Jinyun Immortal City. Let's go. The three of us will head over together."
In Lan Xiaobu's mind, a half-step Divine Realm was still just an Immortal Emperor.
The title of "half-step Divine Realm" was just a fancy way to intimidate others.
"Five Realms King, my cultivation is too weak. If something happens, will I be a burden?" Qiao Xing asked with concern.
Lan Xiaobu hesitated for a moment.
"Alright, Qiao Xing, you can enter my small world."
He felt that Qiao Xing's concern was valid.
If a fight were to break out, Qiao Xing's low cultivation level would indeed be a liability.
Although Lan Xiaobu himself was only at the fourth level of the Immortal King realm, he had the ability to ambush and kill an early-stage Immortal Emperor.
With the spatial trapping and killing arrays he had set up, even a late-stage Immortal Emperor or a half-step Divine Realm expert might not be able to do much to him.
After sending Qiao Xing into his small world, Lan Xiaobu stored the small world within his Cosmic Dimension Matrix.
Even in the midst of a great battle, his Cosmic Dimension Matrix would not collapse.
...
The royal palace of Qingfang Immortal Court was located in the very center of Jinyun Immortal City.
Outside the palace was a massive Immortal Court plaza, at least ten times larger than the plaza of the Five Realms Immortal Court that Xin Zhen had once presided over.
A golden pathway extended from the edge of the plaza all the way to the entrance of the royal palace.
By the time Lan Xiaobu and Gong Yunqi arrived, hundreds of people had already gathered, with more continuously arriving.
However, everyone attempting to enter through the golden pathway was being stopped.
An Immortal Venerable steward stood at the entrance of the pathway and announced in a clear voice, "Friends from various immortal domains and sects, because this meeting concerns the tribulation of the immortal realm, not everyone is qualified to enter. Each immortal domain may send three representatives, and they must present the official seal and documentation from their Immortal Court. Top-tier sects or immortal clans may send two representatives, provided they present their sect's seal and documentation."
"How shameless," Gong Yunqi sighed.
Lan Xiaobu also understood the audacity of this rule.
It made sense for each immortal domain to send three representatives with the Immortal Court's seal, but what right did top-tier sects and clans have to participate? This was a matter concerning the survival of immortal domains in the face of a tribulation.
Why should sects and clans be involved? Moreover, the term "top-tier" was vague and undefined, implying that Qingfang Immortal Court would decide which sects and clans were considered top-tier.
Using his divine sense, Lan Xiaobu scanned the area and noticed that the representatives from various immortal domains were all at least late-stage Immortal Emperors.
He was likely the only Immortal King present.
Each representative from the immortal domains held the official seal and documentation from their Immortal Court, waiting in line to be checked.
Although everyone in line held the Immortal Court's seal, it was clear that these were not mere representatives sent by the Immortal Kings.
In fact, most of them were the Immortal Kings themselves.
Facing the impending tribulation of the immortal realm, no Immortal King dared to stay away.
Lan Xiaobu joined the back of the line, quietly carving various array patterns in the void while keeping an eye on the surrounding Immortal Emperors.
He spotted a few familiar faces, such as Mi Youlan, the Immortal King of Yuchan Immortal Court from the Mysterious Profound Immortal Domain.
It seemed that after the disappearances of Xi Shengyin from Luoyun Immortal Court and Teng Jilou from Shengxing Immortal Court, Mi Youlan had become the representative of the Mysterious Profound Immortal Domain.
To Lan Xiaobu's surprise, Mi Youlan was accompanied by two other familiar figures: Xin Wuyuan, the Lucky Emperor, and Gu Shen, the Gu Emperor, both from the Four Emperor Palaces.
This wasn't entirely unexpected, as the survival of the immortal domain was at stake.
If the Mysterious Profound Immortal Domain were to fall in the tribulation, there would be nothing left to fight over.
Since the Gu Emperor and the Lucky Emperor were present, it was likely that the Qi Emperor and the Xun Emperor were also here.
Mi Youlan seemed pleasantly surprised to see Lan Xiaobu, but for some reason, he did not come over to greet him.
The Gu Emperor and the Lucky Emperor, upon seeing Lan Xiaobu, gave a distant salute but did not approach.
The line moved quickly, and soon it was Lan Xiaobu's turn.
He presented the official seal and documentation of the Five Realms Immortal World.
The Immortal Venerable steward glanced at the documentation and then at Lan Xiaobu and Gong Yunqi, his expression slightly odd.
"Please proceed."
"Let's go," Lan Xiaobu said, seeing that there was no trouble at the entrance.
If they had tried to cause trouble here, he would have made a scene.
Since they didn't cause any trouble, it was clear that they planned to use more legitimate means to deal with him.
Lan Xiaobu and Gong Yunqi followed the golden pathway into the Qingfang Royal Palace, where half the seats were already filled.
The seating arrangement was quite deliberate.
The front rows had three seats per unit, while the back rows had two seats per unit.
Clearly, the front was reserved for the Immortal Courts of the major immortal domains, while the back was for the top-tier sects and clans.
Although Lan Xiaobu only had two people with him, he represented the Five Realms Immortal World and thus took a seat in the front section with three seats.
Gong Yunqi sat beside him, leaving one seat empty.
As more people arrived, the atmosphere remained tense.
Everyone present was a competitor.
If the Chaos Secret Realm's Heavenly Pivot Array Disk truly only had thirty-six array flags, then only thirty-six immortal domains would survive the tribulation.
As the hall filled up, Lan Xiaobu estimated that there were at least five to six hundred people present.
Even if there were only a hundred immortal domains, with three representatives each, at least half of the people here were not representing immortal domains.
The meeting had not yet begun, so Lan Xiaobu closed his eyes, appearing to be in deep thought.
Only Gong Yunqi knew that Lan Xiaobu was likely frantically setting up various spatial immortal arrays.
The Five Realms Immortal World was the weakest here.
Without setting up arrays, they would be waiting for death.
After about an hour, the doors of the grand hall closed.
A man in a green imperial robe walked out and took the most prominent position.
The green-robed man first gave a respectful salute to everyone present, then spoke in a solemn tone.
"Some of you may know me, while others may not. Let me introduce myself. I am Shen Sen, the Immortal King of Qingfang Immortal Court. Normally, having guests from various immortal domains visit Qingfang Immortal Domain would be a joyous occasion. However, we all know that this is a grave matter, and there is no joy to be found. The reason is clear to all: the immortal realm is likely facing a tribulation, and two-thirds of the immortal domains will be reduced to dust. Unfortunately, this is not something we can prevent with our strength. Today, we have gathered to discuss how to ensure the survival of one-third of the immortal domains in the face of this tribulation. You all know the situation. Decades ago, Qingfang Immortal Domain discovered an island in the void. This island contains a Chaos Secret Realm. We do not know how long this realm has existed, but within it lies a Heavenly Pivot Array Disk. This array disk consists of one array base and thirty-six array flags. If we can find this array base and the thirty-six array flags, we can ensure the survival of thirty-six immortal domains during the tribulation. In addition to the Heavenly Pivot Array Disk, this Chaos Secret Realm also contains treasures that surpass even nine-level immortal herbs. These treasures, if refined into pills, could allow some peak Immortal Emperors to transcend the immortal realm and reach higher planes of existence. Today, we will discuss how to allocate the spots for entering the Chaos Secret Realm. Before we begin, does anyone have any questions?"
A bearded man stood up.
"I am Wu Qiancheng, the Immortal King of Moon Spirit Immortal Domain. I have a question for the Qingfang Immortal King."
Shen Sen smiled.
"Immortal King Wu, please take a seat. We may be here for a while, so everyone should feel free to speak while seated."
With that, Shen Sen sat down.
Wu Qiancheng did not stand on ceremony and sat back down.
"Since no one has entered the Chaos Secret Realm, how does the Qingfang Immortal King know that the Heavenly Pivot Array Disk is inside?"
Shen Sen replied, "Initially, when Qingfang Immortal Domain discovered the Chaos Secret Realm, we did not know about the Heavenly Pivot Array Disk. However, after extensive research of ancient texts, we learned that this Chaos Secret Realm is the rumored resting place of the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor. The Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor's abode was a golden leaf, and the void stones outside this void island are shaped like golden leaves. Moreover, the void stones are inscribed with the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor's secret technique, the Heavenly Pivot Transformation. As for the Heavenly Pivot Array Disk, it has always been associated with the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor."
"The Heavenly Pivot Transformation?" Everyone's eyes lit up with greed.
The Heavenly Pivot Transformation was a legendary top-tier divine ability.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Shen Sen said indifferently, "Unfortunately, it's only a general outline. Anyone can see it, but it only lists the major divine abilities included in the Heavenly Pivot Transformation. It holds no real value."
