After chatting for a long time, the Celestial Emperor finally could not restrain himself. He braced himself and said, “Father, please help the Heavenly Court!”
When he said those words, he immediately felt as if a rock had been lifted from his chest.
The Immortal Dao became stronger and stronger, and the desire of the public to be immortal had decreased. After all, there were many paths to immortality. Plus, if they were to join a sect, they would not have to be laden to serve the public. This also caused the deterrence of the Heavenly Court to become weaker and weaker. Fortunately, the Heavenly Court was a system personally established by the Dao Ancestor, so no sect dared to offend it.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, “How do you want me to help you?”
He loved all beings equally, but he would not walk a path of complete equality. He was willing to give better treatment to the people around him, let alone his own son.
When the Celestial Emperor heard that, he was in a dilemma. He did not know what to do.
He could not possibly let his father preach to the Heavenly Court alone, right?
Even giving them magical treasures was not enough to reverse the situation of the Heavenly Court.
For a moment, the Celestial Emperor fell into deep thought.
Jiang Changsheng waited for a moment before he smiled and said, “Alright, don’t think about it. The management of the Primordial World will be handed over to the Heavenly Court. Remember, the Heavenly Court cannot forcefully occupy any opportunities for those who enter the Primordial World. What the Heavenly Court has to do is to maintain order and not allow any deathmatches in the Primordial World. As for the quota to enter the Primordial World, it will be up to you to decide. But remember, the number of quotas the Heavenly Court can occupy cannot exceed 20%.”
When the Celestial Emperor heard that, he was pleasantly surprised.
The legend of the Primordial World had long spread. Perhaps the general public had forgotten, but all the major sects were still thinking about it. He did not expect his father to hand over this power to the Heavenly Court.
Without waiting for the Celestial Emperor to express his thanks, Jiang Changsheng solemnly said, “If an immortal god commits any crimes, they must be severely punished. No matter what their background is, even if it’s your son or you, anyone who commits crimes will have to pay a heavy price or even fall into the pain of reincarnation forever.”
The Celestial Emperor hastily promised, “Father, don’t worry. I will definitely restrain the Heavenly Court!”
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and handed over a token. It was a purple token with the word Primordial Chaos engraved on it. It possessed the ability to open the teleportation entrance to the Primordial World. At the same time, it could allow one to look down on the entire Primordial World. It could be considered a Heavenly Dao Supreme Treasure, as it was using the luck of the Heavenly Dao.
The Celestial Emperor carefully took the token, and his heart was filled with pleasant surprise and gratitude.
As someone of a high position, the more he thought about it, the more he was afraid that Jiang Changsheng would look down on him. He was afraid that he would disappoint Jiang Changsheng and that everyone would say that he could only rely on his father. Too many worries bound him, so he did not expect his father to agree so easily.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
The Celestial Emperor could not help but ask, “Father, can I visit you often in the future?”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “When did I not allow you to come?”
That’s right, his father had never said such words. He was just afraid of disturbing him.
After that, the father and son continued to chat. After they released the tense atmosphere, the Celestial Emperor started to talk more and talked about interesting things about his children.
He had more than a thousand children and more than a hundred thousand grandchildren. On normal days, he would take a lot of time to accompany his descendants. He also hoped that his children and grandchildren could produce prodigies that he could not have. However, fate made fools of people. Up until now, no children or grandchildren of his could surpass Jiang Yi. Not to mention Jiang Yi, they could even surpass Jiang Shan.
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao was afraid that he would be too domineering.
Several hours later, the Celestial Emperor bowed to Jiang Changsheng and Mu Lingluo before he left.
Mu Lingluo lamented, “It is really strange. Our son is afraid of us, and our daughter has a cold temperament.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “If they were to pester you every day, you would feel annoyed. Let nature take its course. Besides, we don’t have to be so close and don’t have to worry about losing each other.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Jiang Changsheng looked at Gui Li.
Ever since this girl came to the Primordial World, she had not stood up. She had been in a state of meditation and comprehending the Dao. Her cultivation had increased very quickly. Even though she was a Heavenly Dao God Spirit, she also had her own cultivation. Unlike the God of Misfortune and the God of Inner Demons, she was a complete individual, but she did not exist as a living being.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and closed his eyes to comprehend the Dao. He continued to immerse himself in the transformation of the Primordial Great Dao.
The people of the Immortal Dao cultivated the Primordial Great Dao together and assisted it in its growth. The effect was extremely powerful. Even Jiang Changsheng was somewhat excited. He had never encountered such a situation.
During the process of comprehending the Dao, he did not neglect his attention to the boundless world, especially the Overlord Ancestor and the Dark Dao Ancestor.
After the Celestial Emperor left the Purple Cloud Palace, 10,000 years later, he announced to the entire Immortal Dao that the Primordial World was about to open. All the great merit sects could come to the Heavenly Court to apply for the first batch of quotas to enter the Primordial World. Relying on the luck of the Heavenly Dao, his voice spread to all the worlds within the range of the luck of the Heavenly Dao.
The entire Immortal Dao was in an uproar!
The Primordial World was a holy land for cultivation established by the Dao Ancestor!
The Zenith Heaven cultivators, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, could no longer restrain themselves. Therefore, the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm became exceptionally lively. The magic treasures and mounts of sects that stopped outside the sky were countless. It was a spectacular sight.
Jiang Changsheng had entrusted the Celestial Emperor with the arrangements for the Primordial World. He believed that the Celestial Emperor could benefit the Immortal Dao and also elevate the status of the Heavenly Court.
The Primordial World would open once every 100,000 years, and those who could enter were all top talents of the Immortal Dao and those with great merit. The Immortal Dao would definitely be able to rely on the Primordial World to undergo a rebirth and improve.
Time passed.
The first opening of the Primordial World went smoothly, and after 100,000 years, Immortal Dao recovered to its original state. It was not until the second opening of the Primordial World that a new generation of geniuses went to the Primordial World. The geniuses who had cultivated in the Primordial World for 100,000 years went out. Their return brought a huge shock to the Immortal Dao.
With the exception of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, all the geniuses had broken through, and the number of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had increased by dozens at once.
The test for talent and comprehension had nothing to do with age. Even ancient mighty figures could be considered prodigies as long as they performed outstandingly in every realm. Therefore, only dozens of Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortals could enter the Primordial World.
The Immortal Dao had gone completely crazy. Fighting for a spot in the next opening in the Primordial World had become the main target of the major sects.
Gradually, the rapid development of the Immortal Dao also attracted the attention of other orthodoxies, mainly because the calamity brought by Dao Ghost was weakening. Dao Ghost seemed to be retreating, and their attacks were far less aggressive than before.
Some orthodoxies that had escaped the Dao Ghost calamity began to visit the Immortal Dao. While probing for information, they wanted to obtain something from the Immortal Dao.
The Immortal Dao was open and tolerant to outsiders. It was not difficult for other orthodoxies to learn immortal cultivation methods. That was also the reason why there were more and more allies tied to the Immortal Dao. Unlike other orthodoxies, they did not form alliances as a whole. Instead, the Immortal Dao formed alliances with sects, making it complicated. At present, no orthodoxy could obtain the friendship of the entire Immortal Dao. After all, there was only one existence that could decide the overall direction of the Immortal Dao, and that existence was hard to encounter.
The Dao Ancestor was benevolent and just in the Immortal Dao, but for the orthodoxies in the boundless world, there was only endless fear. These outside orthodoxies did not dare to seek an audience with the Dao Ancestor. It was said that the Dao Ancestor could see through people’s hearts, which many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had personally admitted.
Just like that, another million years passed.
The Immortal Dao had adapted to the existence of the Primordial World. Even though there were still no Immortal Saints, the strength of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals was getting stronger and stronger. However, they were not even satisfied with the present situation. They began to dabble in the past and the future to explore the true meaning of the Dao.
Jiang Changsheng was not afraid of his fate being exposed because he had transcended and no one could return to his past. It was the same for other Zenith Heaven cultivators. Whenever someone advanced to the Zenith Heaven Realm, their true body would no longer be found in the past or the future. The past and future were only incarnations of their wills and it did not matter if they died. Therefore, no one would want to return to the past to deal with the past self of Zenith Heaven cultivators. If they did that, it would only incur the hatred of the Zenith Heaven cultivator.
However, as Zenith Heaven cultivators became more and more crazy in pursuit of the true meaning of the Dao, the time and space of the Immortal Dao began to continue to be chaotic, followed by the birth of the karmic backlash of the Heavenly Dao. It was similar to the backlash of the Great Dao. However, this backlash originated from the power of the Heavenly Dao and might even trigger the birth of evil spirits.
In such a situation, the Time Sequence Immortal Lord, who had left behind a legend in the previous calamity, stood out. He shuttled through time and space to capture those reckless Zenith Heaven cultivators. Even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had been subdued by him, making his reputation famous again.
Under the influence of successive battle records, he had become the number one person under the Heavenly Dao in a short period of fifty thousand years.
He had suppressed Jiang Yi and Immortal Saint Wu Ji in one fell swoop.
The Celestial Emperor even gave a portion of the merits of the Heavenly Court to the Time Sequence Immortal Lord, praising his great achievements, causing his reputation to rise again.
One day, the Saint Mother of Fortune summoned the Time Sequence Immortal Lord on behalf of the Purple Cloud Palace. It was unknown who spread the news, but it quickly spread throughout the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm and then to the myriad worlds of the Immortal Dao. The legend of the Time Sequence Immortal Lord was added with another layer of awe.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng sat on the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin and sized up the Time Sequence Immortal Lord. The more he looked at her, the more satisfied he was.
The Time Sequence Immortal Lord was dressed in white styled with crane feathers. He had a sage-like aura and a tall figure. He vividly displayed the perfect bearing of an Immortal Lord. At the very least, his image was excellent.
This person was not related to Jiang Changsheng by blood, nor was he related to the karma of his old friends. Even so, Jiang Changsheng still had expectations for him because he was a peerless prodigy born from his Immortal Dao.
The Time Sequence Immortal Lord seemed calm, but he was also nervous.
He had captured too many mighty figures and he was afraid of offending the Dao Ancestor. He was not afraid of any existence, but he could not help but worry about the Dao Ancestor.
Of course, reason told him that the Dao Ancestor was not that petty. He must be looking for him for something else.
Jiang Changsheng saw through his thoughts and said, “How’s your attainment in time and space? How far can you go into the past?”
The Time Sequence Immortal Lord hesitated for a moment and said, “I was able to go to the end of the ancient Immortal Dao, and I also have already learned about the fallen Overlord Immortal Dao.”
When it came to the Dao of Space and Time, he was confident that no one in the Immortal Dao could compare to him.
Even compared to the Dao Ancestor, he felt that he was not bad.
Jiang Changsheng chuckled and said, “That’s not enough. At the very least, you haven’t seen how the ancient Immortal Dao was born. Moreover, your vision is limited to the Immortal Dao. Do you want to go to the boundless world when it was created?”
Hearing this, the Time Sequence Immortal Lord was shocked and revealed an expression of disbelief.
The boundless world was vast, but he was an immortal cultivator. He could only travel through the long river of history of the Immortal Dao. In the time and space of the boundless world, the past and future he could go to were limited. Moreover, they were very vague and could be changed at any time.
“Dao Ancestor, could it be…” the Time Sequence Immortal Lord carefully asked.
