Chapter 465: Immortal Wang Chen, Long Seclusion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Within the Mental Wander Realm, there was a commotion.
While waiting, the believers discussed who might become the leader of the Earth Immortals. Even though there were many immortal cultivators, only a few could reach the level that their name was renowned throughout the world, and all of them were nervous and uneasy.
They were not afraid that they would not get what they wanted. They were afraid that they would miss the opportunity even though they were very close to it. Such a result would cause uncontrollable regret and unwillingness.
A vast pressure descended and silenced all the believers. They looked up.
Above the layers of the sea of clouds, the sky seemed to be shining with a purple light, just like the stars in the sky, so far away.
“The 1000-year period is up. It’s time for the leader of the Earth Immortals to be selected!”
“The leader of the Earth Immortals will control all the immortal cultivators in the world, regardless of race!”
The Dao Ancestor’s voice echoed throughout the entire Mental Wander Realm, causing countless believers to be overwhelmed with emotions.
To control all the immortal cultivators in the world!
This power…
“There are a total of ten people with great merits who are qualified to be the leader of the Earth Immortals. Now, the Earth Immortal test will begin!”
After the Dao Ancestor finished speaking, ten figures flew up, and Hu Yuan was among them. The others were all sect masters of large sects or sages of the world. All of them were famous people.
They were pulled by the power of the Dao Ancestor and stood side by side. Then, they closed their eyes. Golden light rose above their heads and the images appeared in the sky, reflecting the illusion their consciousness had fallen into.
This was an illusory realm test specially set up by Jiang Changsheng. During the test, their thoughts about the selection of the leader of the Earth Immortals would be temporarily blocked so that they would forget about running for the leader of the Earth Immortals and mistake it for reality.
No matter who became the leader of the Earth Immortals, it would cause chaos. It was better to let all beings witness this test and let them understand what it meant to be the leader of the Earth Immortals!
The first round was about encountering mortals in trouble and seeing if they would lend a helping hand.
Only one of the ten candidates remained unmoved as he walked past them. The image disappeared above him and he woke up soon after.
“He was eliminated just like that?”
“To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn’t even bother to take a look.”
“He was too careless.”
“The leader of the Earth Immortals should have the heart to pity all beings.” “I didn’t expect this sect master to just be acting as a good person.”
The believers discussed among themselves. The sect master, who had come back to his senses, was ashamed and fell to the ground.
At that moment, the second round began.
The second round was to see if they were willing to save a person who was not the same race as them, and two more people were eliminated this round.
The third round was to face the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Court wanted to attack the human world together, would they dare to stand up for all beings? There were only three left in this round!
Hu Yuan persevered!
Even though it was only an illusion, the believers admired these three people. The Heavenly Court was the supreme force in the Kunlun Field. To dare to fight against the Heavenly Court for the sake of all beings, such courage was absolutely worthy of their admiration.
In the fourth round, a calamity descended and the Kunlun Field was lost. The
Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror informed them that the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror could lead them to escape or sacrifice themselves in exchange for the strength to resist the calamity!
This round was extremely torturous. The three candidates were in a dilemma. Their tangled expressions were reflected in the illusion in the sky, which also affected all the believers.
“No matter who succeeds, they are qualified to be the leader of the Earth Immortals.”
“To become the leader of the Earth Immortals, you have to be prepared to sacrifice yourself?”
“This is the leader of the Earth Immortals, not the ruler we think he is. The Dao Ancestor is also thinking for the sake of all beings.”
“The Dao Ancestor is really omnipotent. These three are all top experts of the Immortal Realm, but they could not even sense that this was an illusion.” “To be honest, if it were me, I would definitely choose to escape on my own.”
Lu Shenzhou, the Seventh Wisdom King, Ye Zhan, and the Ye Ancestor stood together. They were also thinking about what kind of choice they would make.
They could not deceive themselves. They could not sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
The Celestial Emperor was also reflecting on himself. Did he really have the thought to protect all beings in the Kunlun Field?
As the Heavenly Court became stronger and stronger, the mentality of the Immortal Gods also changed. After all, ideals were easy to go numb, and the immediate benefits were easier to attract them.
“I am willing to sacrifice myself!”
A voice came from the sky and clearly entered the ears of all the believers with a firm tone.
It was Hu Yuan!
His decision caused Jingtian to cheer.
Bai Qi, Mu Lingluo, Jiang Tiansheng, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and others who paid attention to Hu Yuan all smiled.
Steady!
In the face of Jiang Changsheng’s powerful Divine Power, the feelings of the candidates were real. They thought that they had become the leader of the
Earth Immortals and that the choices they made were based on their hearts.
The other two candidates finally chose to save themselves. From then on, Hu Yuan became the leader of the Earth Immortals!
The clamor in the Mental Wander Realm reached another peak.
After the Dao Ancestor announced that Hu Yuan was the leader of the Earth Immortals and sent him to the Purple Cloud Palace in the 33 Layered Heavens, the Dao Ancestor’s pressure disappeared.
Those who failed were ashamed and left Mental Wander Realm one after another.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Mu Lingluo opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Changsheng. Puzzled, she asked, “Brother Changsheng, after such a test, will those who failed go to the extremes?”
The higher the realm, the more they cared about their reputation.
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “If we were to go to the extremes because of this, it would have happened even if it were not for this. Motives that are not born from oppression are all self-inflicted.”
“That’s right. Even if they were to cause trouble, we’ll leave it to the leader of the Earth Immortals to resolve it. It’ll also prove his abilities.”
Bai Qi smiled. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. Since Hu Yuan had become the leader of the Earth Immortals, she had made the right choice.
Mu Lingluo lamented, “To be able to survive those four tests, no matter how talented you are, you can indeed be the leader of the Earth Immortals.”
Bai Qi nodded. She had also changed her impression of Hu Yuan. This kid really cared about the world.
As the two women conversed, Hu Yuan was also on his way to the Heavenly Court.
It took several days to travel from the human world to the Heavenly Court.
After all, the Heavenly Court did not completely cover the sky of the Kunlun Field. However, the Heavenly Court had expanded, and the four heaven gates were far apart, and behind them were the teleportation formations.
When Hu Yuan came to the North-Heaven Gate, he received the love and admiration of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals as they praised him.
The believers had witnessed the process of the test, and most of them would not question Hu Yuan. They would only be at ease if they had such a leader.
Before he reached the 33 Layered Heavens, Hu Yuan met with the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court one after another. Even the Three Heavenly Lords and Emperor Ziwei came. All of them praised and congratulated him, which calmed his excited mood.
As the leader of the Earth Immortals, he would have to deal with big shots from all sides. It would not be easy in the future.
On the tenth day, he met with the Celestial Emperor.
This was his first time meeting the Celestial Emperor.
The Celestial Emperor was very gentle and even personally brought him to the 33 Layered Heavens. Along the way, the Celestial Emperor introduced the entire Kunlun Field to him, allowing him to truly understand how big the Kunlun Field was and how vast the human world was.
It was very difficult to control the cultivation world!
Hu Yuan felt the pressure, but at the same time, he was filled with fighting spirit.
Arriving at the 33 Layered Heavens, the Celestial Emperor retreated. Hu Yuan took a deep breath and arrived at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Looking at the towering Purple Cloud Palace, he felt uneasy.
Before he could salute, a golden light descended from the sky and landed on him, making him unable to move. He did not panic. He believed that the Dao Ancestor would not harm him.
He slowly closed his eyes and a huge memory drilled into his mind. It was the inherited memory of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.
Jiang Changsheng would help him control the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. After all, he was only lending it to him, not giving it away. Of course, as long as he did nothing wrong, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror would always be in his hands.
After a long time.
When Hu Yuan woke up, he had the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror in his hands.
When he saw the words Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, his breathing quickened. He hurriedly knelt down in the Purple Cloud Palace to thank the Dao Ancestor.
“From now on, you will be the leader of the Earth Immortals. Have you thought of your Daoist name?”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice sounded very indifferent.
When he taught Hu Yuan, he used a different voice, so Hu Yuan did not recognize him.
“My name will be Wang Chen!”
Hu Yuan said firmly. Wang Chen was the name his master had given him. He had always remembered to use it once he became the leader of the Earth Immortals. At that time, Wang Chen’s name would spread throughout the world and his master would certainly hear it.
When he thought about how his master would know that he had become the leader of the Earth Immortals, he could not hide his excitement.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, Bai Qi was stunned and so was Mu Lingluo. The two of them subconsciously looked at Jiang Changsheng who was sitting on the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin.
“From now on, Hu Yuan will be in charge of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and supervise the Immortal Dao in the human world. He will be the leader of the Earth Immortals, and his Daoist name will be Wang Chen. He may be addressed as Great Immortal Wang Chen!”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice sounded. This time, it resounded throughout the Kunlun Field.
Great Immortal Wang Chen!
This was the first person in Kunlun Field to have the title of a Great Immortal, and it was personally decided by the Dao Ancestor.
Hu Yuan became even more excited when he heard that.
“Master, did you hear that? I have been recognized by the Dao Ancestor!”
A sense of pride inevitably surfaced in Hu Yuan’s heart. He looked forward to meeting his master again.
“You may leave. I will pay attention to your actions.”
As soon as the Dao Ancestor finished speaking, a breeze blew Hu Yuan away. He was shocked to discover that he could not resist.
This breeze sent him to the human world.
Meanwhile, the entire human world was in an uproar.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Mu Lingluo and Bai Qi were currently asking about Wang Chen.
Bai Qi was exceptionally excited about Wang Chen’s appearance. After all, she had not seen Wang Chen for more than two thousand years. She did not expect that Hu Yuan was the reincarnation of Wang Chen.
Mu Lingluo would occasionally live through her memories of her previous life. Coupled with the fact that she had been with Bai Qi for a long time, she had also heard of Wang Chen’s deeds.
Jiang Changsheng shrugged his shoulders and said, “That’s right, he’s Wang Chen. However, there’s no need to spread this news. In any case, not many people remember Wang Chen from back then.”
Wang Chen was not famous in his previous life.
“I wonder when this kid will awaken his memories from his previous life.”
Bai Qi said with an expectant expression. Back then, there were not many old friends in the courtyard of Longqi Temple. Wang Chen was one of the first to check in.
What touched her the most was that her master valued his old friend so much.
In the future, when she was in trouble, her master would not stand by and do nothing. Even if she died, she could be reincarnated.
Jiang Changsheng ignored them. After dealing with the leader of the Earth Immortals, he should concentrate on his seclusion.
As for the subsequent Immortal Peach Convention, he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He believed that Mu Lingluo could handle it well.
The order of the three realms had been successfully established. So, he should now go into seclusion in peace and cultivate for a long time!
As for the Martial Dao calamity, he would accept it as it came. After all, he had to become stronger in order to deal with the calamities that would follow..
