Chapter 821: Dao Master’s Inheritance (2)
The Immortal Court was one of the greatest superpowers. Its powerhouses were spread throughout numerous rivers of space and time, scattered across countless macrocosms. The Voltari Temple was merely one of its many subordinate factions.
The Immortal Court Voidrealm was the highest grade voidrealm owned by the Immortal Court. With enough authority, one could directly contact other powerhouses across the many rivers of space and time. Of course, only Sovereigns possessed such authority.
Within the Immortal Court Voidrealm was an ordinary plane called the Voltari Plane. Powerhouses from the Voltari Temple would arrive at this vast and boundless plane when they entered the Immortal Court Voidrealm.
Today, in the central temple of the Voltari Plane, several figures with imposing auras had gathered. Sovereign Voltari, Sovereign Sha Fan, and others were all present.
Silence reigned.
Whoosh~ Countless motes of light converged, forming a slightly blurred figure in white robes. He stood in space, his aura vast and unfathomable, radiating a hint of eternity. Standing there, he seemed to transform into an eternal, immortal painting.
As his gaze swept over them, the spirits of Sovereign Voltari, Sovereign Sha Fan, and the others were subtly influenced, growing tranquil.
"Immortal Emperor." Sovereign Voltari bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Immortal Emperor." The other Sovereign-level beings all bowed deeply.
In the Eldritch Court, Overlord-level entities were called Great Eldritches.
In the Immortal Court, Overlord-level entities were called Immortal Emperors.
As Sovereign Voltari was at the late-stage Sovereign phase, very close to the Overlord level, he only needed to show slight respect. However, for ordinary Sovereigns, the gap in strength between them and the Overlord level was truly vast.
"I am fully aware of the situation," the white-robed figure spoke slowly. "Sha Fan was quite skilled in soul attacks... and the Overlord-level treasure he used was forged by Immortal Reverend Xiao Yao, considered one of the finest Overlord-level treasures.
By all rights, even if Wu Yuan was hiding in the Cang Feng Temple, there should have been an 80% chance of killing him."@@@@
All the Sovereigns listened attentively.
They had come to the same conclusion before, which was why they were so shocked and frustrated by Sovereign Sha Fan's failure.
"Yet he still failed. There are only two possibilities. First, he possesses an extremely special protective treasure. Karmic attacks directly target one's aura imprint, and such treasures are exceedingly rare, usually only crafted by supreme beings," the white-robed Immortal Emperor said. "If the Eldritch Court was willing to bestow such a treasure upon him, it shows they value him greatly.
The second possibility is that he himself is extraordinarily powerful, and what he's revealed so far is merely a fraction of his true strength. For instance, if he has already established an Apotheosis root or Apotheosis Yuan Soul, it would make his aura imprint incredibly robust."
The Sovereigns of the Voltari Temple listened intently.
"However, the resources of our Immortal Court are not unlimited. This is the only treasure we can allocate for Wu Yuan’s assassination for now. Since this attempt failed, we must temporarily abandon the plan," the white-robed Immortal Emperor said.
"The Immortal Court will begin to pay attention to Wu Yuan. With his strength, he might stir up some waves in the Megaverse Crossroads.
The Megaverse Crossroads will be the best opportunity to eliminate him," the white-robed Immortal Emperor stated.
"Understood," the Sovereigns of the Voltari Temple replied.
Inwardly, however, they didn't pay much heed. News of the Megaverse Crossroads had already spread across many rivers of space and time. Only monstrous prodigies had any hope of competing there.
The Voltari Temple? The top-tier geniuses of this era were on par with Jiang Huan, and the chances of them shining brilliantly in the Megaverse Crossroads were extremely, extremely low.
"Don't dismiss this," the white-robed Immortal Emperor suddenly spoke.
His voice seemed to carry a special power, causing the spirits of the Sovereigns in the hall to vibrate slightly.
"Soon, our Immortal Court's Ling Jiang Saintdom will dispatch numerous peerless geniuses to various realms within the universe for tempering, seeking to contend with the prodigies from various major factions and macrocosms.
This is both a form of final preparation for the Megaverse Crossroads and a way to probe the strength of various prodigies," the white-robed Immortal Emperor said. "As per past customs, the Eldritch Court will surely have corresponding geniuses undergo tempering and probing as well.
Originally, the Greenridge Macrocosm was just an unremarkable one among many macrocosms, not even on the list of candidates. But with Zhuo Haiyue, Ming Jian, and Wu Yuan rising in succession, it's clear that this place is a focal point of providence in the universe.
A completely unfamiliar fifth-rank powerhouse? This was extremely rare.
The Astral Monarchs of the eldritch world seemed numerous, but in reality, there were fewer than 100,000 of them. Over long ages, many well-connected Astral Lords recognized most of them.
"It's Wu Yuan!" Finally, an Astral Lord who had seen Wu Yuan once before recognized him.
"It's him?"
"Wu Yuan, Sovereign Kua Chi’s disciple?"
"I’ve never seen him before." Instantly, he attracted the attention of many eldritch world powerhouses, who were all quite curious.
"His strength is indeed impressive, but he's only a High Eldritch. How can he be a fifth-rank member?" Some powerhouses voiced their doubts.
"Yeah! How can he be fifth-rank?"
"There are many Astral Monarch powerhouses who are still only fourth-rank due to their relatively short cultivation periods, right?"
"He's talented, we’ll admit that, but having only cultivated for just over ten thousand years, how could he have rendered any great contributions?"
"Could it be that the Sovereigns gave him special treatment?"
"This is too unfair."
"We've only got promoted to our current ranks after numerous life-or-death experiences. Even if his talent is heaven-defying, this isn’t right."
"Is it just because he's a Sovereign's disciple?"
Information about Wu Yuan's arrival in the Eldritch Court Voidrealm and being a fifth-rank member gradually spread among the high-level powerhouses of the eldritch world.
Most eldritch world powerhouses didn't think much of it after learning of this, but a significant number of powerhouses, including some Astral Monarch-level entities, felt dissatisfied.
This was logical. The higher one's rank in the Eldritch Court Voidrealm, the higher the authority they had, and the more benefits they could enjoy.
One’s rank was likewise a form of honor, representing the magnitude of one's contributions to the eldritch world and even the entire Eldritch Court.
Many powerhouses who were unwilling to consider the interests of the eldritch world and Eldritch Court often held lower ranks than those weaker than themselves. Thus, many powerhouses in the eldritch world placed great importance on rank.
Wu Yuan's rank, however, clearly broke convention, arousing dissatisfaction among many powerhouses who took pride in their own ranks.
"Wu Yuan has great talent and potential.”
“It's right to grant him many cultivation resources, and he can be promoted in rank if he makes great contributions in the future, but not now."
"I've worked hard for so many years before finally reaching the fifth rank. Has Wu Yuan really accomplished as much as I have?" Many powerhouses discussed, venting their discontent.
However, no one dared to approach the Sovereigns over such a trivial matter. Everyone knew that the order to promote Wu Yuan directly to fifth rank was certainly issued by the Sovereigns.
...
Dissatisfied with me because of my rank? How interesting. Wu Yuan shook his head inwardly.
Over ten thousand years, Wu Yuan had made some friends among the Astral Lords, and naturally received quite a bit of news in no time. Even some of his senior brothers and sisters had passed along information.
Wu Yuan could understand the reactions of the many powerhouses in the eldritch world, but that didn't mean he agreed.
The eldritch merits I received was decided by Sovereign Cang Feng and the others. If you have the guts, go take it up with the Sovereigns. Wu Yuan wasn't foolish enough to reject this benefit over such discussions.
Those who achieved greatness wouldn’t be bothered by external disturbances. One need only stay true to oneself.
