Chapter 785: Chapter 784 The Orthodox Heavenly Court

Lu Yang’s heart trembled, “Fairy, you really aren’t afraid of making a fuss, are you?”

“I haven’t done anything, and I already have two Junior Sisters of Semi-Immortal status.”

“Do I deserve it?”

If Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi were his Junior Sisters, what should their husband, the Kirin Immortal, call him?

“Have you met Lianyi?” Ao Ling suddenly asked.

Jiang Lianyi was also an unregistered disciple of Immortal Sister, so if Jiang Lianyi hadn’t awakened, would it be proper for her to call Lu Yang ‘Elder Brother’ before Jiang Lianyi, making her Lianyi’s Senior Sister?

“We have met her, she was in a deep sleep within the Secret Realm of Demon Territory, and was awakened by the Fairy.”

“I see.”

Ao Ling thought for a moment that, since both she and Jiang Lianyi were unregistered disciples and had such a good relationship, there was no need to distinguish between Senior and Junior Sisters.

“Where is Lianyi now?”

Lu Yang pondered for a moment and replied, “She should be in the Demon Territory. She has been inquiring about Elder Ao Ling’s whereabouts. I guess she hasn’t found any clues.”

Lu Yang hadn’t expected to find Ao Ling before anyone else.

Ao Ling laughed and corrected Lu Yang’s way of addressing, “If Elder Brother calls me ‘Elder Ao Ling,’ wouldn’t it confuse our generational ranking? Just call me ‘Junior Sister Xiao Ling.'”

Lu Yang dared not call her that.

“It’s quite unexpected that Elder Brother Lu Yang could be recognized by Sister. As far as I know, the Immortal Lineage has only ever had Immortal Sister by herself.”

“From the intelligence we’ve gathered so far, after you fell into slumber, an Immortal in possession of the Eternity Dao Fruit sought to kill you, resulting in a battle with the Qilin Immortal. The Fire Dynasty was destroyed for unknown reasons, and some Immortals deliberately concealed the existence of the Fire Dynasty, and the fate of the Time Immortal remains unknown.”

“All these events are very likely to have occurred during the same period.”

Lu Yang hadn’t expected that during the era of the Fire Dynasty, an Immortal was born, which means that there were five Immortals within the Fire Dynasty.

Even so, the Fire Dynasty still met its demise. It’s feasible to assume that a single Immortal in possession of the Eternity Dao Fruit couldn’t have done this alone; there must have been some other great unknown event that occurred at the time.

“By the way, Elder, we’ve also established a Heavenly Court over here. Would you consider joining us?”

“You’ve established a Heavenly Court, too?” Ao Ling heard this claim for the first time.

Lu Yang touched his head, a rare embarrassed smile on his face: “It’s a long story. I formed the Heavenly Court, and truly, I had no idea the Fire Dynasty had established a Heavenly Court; otherwise, I would have chosen a different name.”

“Now, the name of our Heavenly Court is too well-known; it would probably be difficult to change it.”

“You could probably understand that there are some things we’re not convenient to do ourselves. I’ve heard the Fairy talking about the Heavenly Court, so I also crafted one to use that identity for certain matters.”

Lu Yang heard from Fairy Eternity that the Five Ancient Immortals had come up with many versions of the Heavenly Court. Now it seems, maybe that was the contingency plan prepared by the Yingtian Immortal and his three peers, only Fairy Eternity didn’t know?

“So who is in this Heavenly Court you’ve established?”

Fairy Eternity said proudly, “You didn’t see that coming, did you? The Second-in-command is a fine seedling of our Immortal Lineage. Without me, he could have attained immortality through enlightenment.”

Ao Ling was surprised. She hadn’t expected Lu Yang to receive such high praise from Sister, a praise not even her husband and the other three Immortals had ever received.

Lu Yang hastened to say, “Now, there are three people in the Immortal Lineage.”

“Oh? There’s someone else who has gained Sister’s recognition?” Ao Ling was even more astonished. The Immortal Lineage had actually grown threefold.

“The third person is a Semi-Immortal, formed through the power of faith, and his Dao Fruit Outline is also immortal,” said Lu Yang, who had to share the troubles with Immortal Eternity as equally shameless.

“I also have another Elder Brother?”

Fairy Eternity waved her hand indifferently, “That doesn’t count. The Third Boss, who relied on the shortcut of faith to form his initial Immortal Dao Fruit, is barely considered part of our Immortal Lineage. All he knows is self-destruction; he can’t even master the Playing Dead Technique.”

“According to the Sect’s terms, I am the Sect Leader, the Second-in-command is the Deputy Sect Leader, and the Third Boss would be a menial disciple.”

“You and Lianyi being considered his Senior Sister would be about right.”

“What about husband, do you know where he is?”

“He’s probably still alive,” Lu Yang didn’t know how to phrase it.

“Probably?” Ao Ling didn’t understand why Lu Yang would say it like that when she could clearly feel the suppression from above’s Dao Fruit.

Otherwise, she would have become an Immortal by now.

“Elder Lianyi has been awake for over half a year. When she first awoke, she happened to encounter Xiao Zhu, no, Venerate Zhu Tian establishing the Demon Nation. Elder Lianyi clashed with him, and it shocked the world.”

“Nowadays, with no Immortals openly existing in the outer world, the news of two Ancient Semi-Immortals fighting spread quickly, and everyone knows about it.”

“Venerate Zhu Tian’s unification of the Demon Territory and the establishment of the Demon Nation is indeed a major event. The Demon Territory has never been unified since its inception.”

“The current problem is, if the Qilin Immortal is still alive, he should be aware of Elder Lianyi’s awakening. However, he has not shown himself, which is quite strange.”

This was not only Lu Yang’s opinion but also Yun Zhi’s. Fairy Eternity might not speak it out loud, but perhaps she thought the same in her heart.

Ao Ling wore a peculiar expression: “It’s only been half a year; isn’t it very normal for my husband not to know?”

“Ah?”

“Don’t you go into retreat, Elder Brother? My husband often goes into retreat for a decade or two. When we were at the Fire Dynasty, he even had a retreat that lasted hundreds of years.”

Lu Yang: “…”

If you put it that way, it seems to make sense.

Lu Yang recalled his own cultivation experience; not long ago, he had gone into retreat for an hour.

Eldest Senior Sister seemed to be in a state of constant enlightenment, not requiring retreats.

Fairy Eternity even advocated for achieving enlightenment through the mortal world and not to go into retreats.

Now that I think about it, it’s quite normal for cultivators to go into retreat for ten or eight years, let alone Immortals who have infinite lifespans and a vague sense of time.

They are the supreme powerhouses who could even play a game of Go for a hundred years.

“However, the Time Immortal really did run into trouble,” said Lu Yang again.

“We discovered the physical body of the Time Immortal’s Firmament Tree, scarred all over—surely the result of a battle among Immortals. The Firmament Tree was empty, with no Immortal Soul present. It’s uncertain whether the Immortal Soul dissipated into the world or fled.”

Fairy Eternity nodded on the side, as Lu Yang conveyed her words.

“How could this be? Brother Suiyue actually ran into trouble!” Ao Ling became serious—this was no small matter. An Immortal in charge of time could actually die; who could be behind this dark deed?

Lu Yang counted on his fingers and said: “Let me list them for you: the Heavenly Court Master is the Fairy, there’s a Senior Sister named Yun Zhi who serves as the Heavenly Court Sect Master, one of the Four Imperial Protectors is Elder Lianyi, there are nine Protector Heavenly Kings, I’m the Young Sect Master, and there are four Saint Heirs.”

Ao Ling was puzzled: “The original purpose of establishing the Heavenly Court was to resurrect Immortal Sister. Since you have resurrected Immortal Sister and she is also the Heavenly Court Master, then the Heavenly Court you’ve established would be the legitimate one.”
