I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1838: Chapter 1838: The First Reward, Xuantian God Takes Lu Changsheng as a Disciple?

The Immortal Realm is divided into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow.

The Heavenly Gods are the absolute rulers of the Immortal Realm.

Apart from the four tiers, there is another faction—the oversight division, consisting of sixty-four divine envoys.

Even among the divine envoys, rankings are determined based on strength.

For instance, the divine envoy who previously appeared in the Mortal Realm might rank near the bottom in the Immortal Realm. Yet, even then, their true strength is unlikely to be limited to a demigod level; it’s simply that they had to suppress most of their abilities to cross the barrier into the Mortal Realm.

The divine envoys oversee the Yellow, Xuan, and Earth tiers.

Above them are the thirty-two celestial spirits.

The thirty-two celestial spirits guard the thirty-two divine palaces within the Earth tier, each belonging to a distinct faction.

Above them are the twelve Main Gods who protect the Heavenly Palace, stationed covertly across its four corners.

The twelve Main Gods typically do not appear publicly, nor do they interfere with any matters of the Immortal Realm. Their sole responsibility is to obey the orders of the Three Great Heavenly Gods.

Of course, this does not mean the twelve Main Gods lack power.

On the contrary, throughout the hierarchy of the Immortal Realm, only the Three Great Heavenly Gods can directly command the twelve Main Gods.

Even if the Goddess Jiang Yiyu gives an order, it must first be relayed through the Three Great Heavenly Gods before the twelve Main Gods will act.

The hierarchy of the Immortal Realm is exceedingly rigid; those in higher positions possess absolute control over those below them.

Now.

Within Lu Changsheng’s perception.

Although the Heavenly God he had seen earlier in the Heavenly Palace was surrounded by over ten divine envoys in white robes as his guards, there were unmistakably four hidden auras in the shadows.

These four auras, while not as potent as the Heavenly God, were far superior to the white-robed envoys.

Undoubtedly, they belonged to individuals of Main God level.

At this moment.

Everyone below was simultaneously kneeling, their expressions fervent and faces brimming with devotion as they gazed at the Heavenly God.

The Heavenly God merely lifted his finger, and an invisible force raised everyone to their feet.

Below, there were millions of people, yet the Heavenly God moved just a single finger to lift them all—his power was undeniably beyond question.

”I assume all of you are aware of today’s matter.” The Heavenly God glanced down and said, ”The Immortal Realm is about to undertake something monumental, so I won’t waste many words. Let us move directly to the beginning.”

After speaking.

The Heavenly God waved his hand, and out of thin air appeared a grand building.

The building was entirely draped in red curtains, but one could vaguely discern an elegant figure within.

The crowd fixated their heated gazes on the silhouette behind the curtains.

Everyone already knew that the building housed the central figure of today’s events—the Goddess Jiang Yiyu.

Whoever she chooses today will immediately stand atop the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm.

And even without considering that factor... As the foremost Goddess of the Immortal Realm, is there any man within the Immortal Realm who wouldn’t covet her?

To cultivate immortality, to cultivate immortality.

Freedom, power, eternal longevity, desire.

Isn’t that the ultimate pursuit?

”Everyone, release your cultivation techniques and exhibit your divine energy. Of course, those with insufficient Yang energy need not bother.” The Heavenly God motioned with his hand, unleashing an overwhelming perception.

Once he said this.

Nearly everyone began to release their divine energy.

In an instant, the atmosphere was saturated with dense divine energy.

The ones releasing it were primarily those who had achieved some success in the Yang Path.

Among them.

Fire attributes were considered a sub-branch of the Yang Path.

Consequently, much of the divine energy released was predominantly fire-centric.

However, within the Heavenly God’s perception, none of the displayed energies were satisfactory.

To match the Yin Qi within Jiang Yiyu’s body, the Yang energy required had to be extraordinarily strong—an immensely arduous condition.

Even among those whose fire energy was exceptionally vigorous—so much so that they could be deemed geniuses in the field of the Fire Path—it ultimately remained merely a derivative of Yang energy. Unless someone truly defied nature to an extreme degree, it was otherwise impossible.

Lu Changsheng, as one of today’s central figures, naturally drew attention.

Jiang Yiyu’s gaze also fell upon Lu Changsheng as she coldly remarked, ”Everyone else has released theirs—why have you not, Zhong Sheng?”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nearly unleashed a string of curses at Jiang Yiyu in his mind.

What the hell is she dragging me into this for???

The Heavenly God’s gaze turned toward him, forcing Lu Changsheng to stiffly cup his hands and reply, ”Zhong Sheng believes his abilities fall short of the Goddess’s standards, so he dares not display them.”

Jiang Yiyu retorted, ”This is of utmost importance—why not at least attempt? Moreover, those who practice weapon refinement techniques often excel in fire attributes, not to mention a genius like you.

Or is it that... you refuse, harboring hidden motives?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrow twitched invisibly.

This woman... Am I imagining things, or is she deliberately singling me out?

He couldn’t help but contemplate inwardly.

Indeed.

Others around him exhibited strange expressions.

”I’ve never heard of the Goddess showing such care for someone else, let alone speaking another man’s name aloud.”

”What is the relationship between these two? Even though Zhong Sheng achieved significant feats, he was previously just an ordinary Yellow-tier figure, wasn’t he?”

Amid these thoughts, some could not conceal hostile glances at Lu Changsheng.

Within Lu Changsheng’s perception, he could sense dozens of individuals harboring enmity toward him.

Among them, three stood out distinctly stronger than the rest.

These three were surrounded by adoring admirers, and through their conversations, Lu Changsheng learned their names: Xu Baorui, Tang Huai, and Ding Wanshan.

Well, isn’t this just typical? A beauty stirs up animosity wherever she goes.

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly. Under the scrutiny of these individuals and the Heavenly God, he had no choice but to release his aura.

Of course, it was carefully modified.

The fire aura he released wasn’t overly exaggerated—merely potent enough to surpass the average participant.

Far from the level of the prodigies.

Upon seeing this.

Xu Baorui, Tang Huai, and Ding Wanshan all sneered and turned their eyes away, no longer paying him any attention.

The other participants also lost interest almost immediately.

Though his fire attribute surpassed that of many others, it wasn’t particularly impressive within this setting.

The Heavenly God’s gaze revealed a trace of disappointment, and he shook his head slightly.

Only Jiang Yiyu beneath the red curtain furrowed her brow slightly.

Though she didn’t notice any flaws, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Nevertheless, at this point, she could only let it go, mentally resolving to seek candidates in the lower realm instead.

With his enthusiasm entirely spent, the Heavenly God waved his hand and said, ”Everyone may retract their energies. Next, we proceed to the next matter: honoring Zhong Sheng for his extraordinary contributions to the Immortal Realm—solving a dilemma that has plagued us for millions of years. Today, in the presence of all, we shall reward him.”

This level of recognition was unprecedented in the history of the Immortal Realm.

Everyone cast looks of envy toward Zhong Sheng.

With a wave of the Heavenly God’s hand, Lu Changsheng’s body floated into the air, landing on a floating stone platform beneath the Heavenly God.

The Heavenly God declared, ”First reward: the Tianxuan Refining Artifact Record. Should your cultivation conditions meet the requirements of this technique, Xuantian God will accept you as his disciple.”

Xuantian God.

One of the Three Great Heavenly Gods.

An unparalleled master in the path of weapon refinement.

This announcement stunned the entire audience!
