Chapter 4793: Visitors from All Around
"Please, everyone, come in," Mo Chen's voice resonated clearly, carrying a powerful spiritual energy that reached the ears of all present. Hearing the invitation, they exchanged glances before entering the immortal palace together.
Upon their arrival, the grand gates of the immortal palace stood open. Inside, a man dressed in pristine white, resembling a celestial being, sat serenely on the main seat. His youthful appearance sparked a flicker of surprise in their eyes. With respectful bows, they greeted him, "Greetings, Holy Emperor. Congratulations on your ascension."

These were individuals who had cultivated for many years, reaching the pinnacle of the Divine King level, and were reverently known as Immortal Lords or Immortal Elders. They were astonished to see someone so young possessing the strength of a supreme peak cultivator, having ascended and achieved the qualification to live as long as heaven and earth itself. They couldn't help but acknowledge his extraordinary talent, feeling a mix of envy, shock, and, above all, profound awe. To ascend at such a tender age spoke volumes about his exceptional cultivation and innate gifts.
"There's no need for such formalities; please, sit down," Mo Chen said, gesturing for them to take seats on either side of the hall.
"Yes, thank you, Holy Emperor," they replied, moving to their designated places. As they settled down, their gazes once again fell upon the Holy Emperor. This closer look brought an even greater wave of astonishment. Previously, they hadn't observed him meticulously, but now they noticed that the Holy Emperor had cultivated a true immortal body. Furthermore, a golden lotus mark shimmered between his eyebrows, and his entire being was bathed in a brilliant holy light, creating an ethereal halo around him.
This radiant presence was precisely why they addressed him as the Holy Emperor. His ascension had been marked by a vast expanse of holy light that illuminated the earth—a phenomenon ordinary beings could not replicate. It was now evident that this luminescence was a reflection emanating from the golden lotus. Once a cultivator's strength reached the peak of the Supreme Realm and they ascended to immortality, there were no further immortal ranks to climb, only the esteemed title of Holy Emperor.
Among those gathered, some were at the peak of the Divine King realm, while others were in the early stages of the Supreme realm. Their respectful titles, Immortal Lords or Immortal Elder, depended on their bone age. Despite having attained such formidable strength, and even ruling over their respective regions, some among them might never achieve true immortality and become Holy Emperors. Therefore, even though they commanded reverence from others, they stood before this newly ascended Holy Emperor with utmost respect, devoid of any trace of arrogance.
"It has been nearly a thousand years since anyone has ascended to immortality through cultivation. To witness the Holy Emperor's ascension today is truly a great joy," an Immortal Elder remarked, rising to bow with a smile. "I am Immortal Elder Muhua, the Old Predecessor of the Duan family in Lucent Immortal City. Today, I have brought gifts to congratulate the Holy Emperor on his great joy."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and four boxes filled with treasures, alongside two rare and precious artifacts, materialized in the center of the palace. With the first gift presented, others followed suit, one after another, retrieving treasures from their spatial artifacts and offering them. In a short time, the various treasures in the middle of the grand hall piled up like a small mountain, radiating a dazzling, brilliant light.
On this side, Mo Chen and his guests engaged in leisurely conversation in the hall, with Mo Chen inquiring about the situations in the territories under their jurisdiction, as time quietly passed them by.
Meanwhile, on Immortal Elder Lingmu's fairy island, the Azure Emperor had allowed them to stay for a few days, giving them time to relax and enjoy themselves. After these few days, the Azure Emperor took the three of them to pay their respects to Immortal Elder Lingmu before they returned.
