Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

275: Chapter 275 From this day forward, the Heavenly Court will completely replace the Demon Court!Daoist Lord Jiuyin was quite free-spirited; he cupped his hands and smiled, ”Fellow Daoist Long Da, this old Daoist is Nine Yin of the Kunlun Sect. If you have any leisure time in the future, you are welcome to come to Kunlun Mountain to drink tea and discuss the Dao.”

Long Da naturally agreed.

Speaking of which, the Kunlun Sect’s Legacy in the Spirit Realm was somewhat related to his original body’s evil body, Minghe. It wouldn’t be bad if they could be on good terms.

Thus, he nodded slightly, ”Fellow Daoist Nine Yin is too polite. I will certainly visit and trouble you another day.”

Seeing the other party respond so readily, Daoist Lord Jiuyin felt a bit more at ease. After a few more pleasantries, he tactfully stopped speaking.

The other Immortal Emperors had various thoughts.

Some wanted to come forward to get closer, while others wanted to withdraw.

But with Long Da’s ”strangers keep away” Aura displayed there, for a time, no one dared to be the first to speak.

Long Da was also too lazy to deal with these old foxes.

He patted Yao Xuan, who understood. With a flap of his wings, black and white flowing light enveloped Long Da, and they disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

It wasn’t until that light had completely vanished that the frozen atmosphere on the battlefield gradually loosened.

Thunder Emperor was the first who couldn’t hold it in and muttered, ”Nash Long Da... no matter how you say this name, it feels awkward, like it’s some kind of joke.”

Bamboo Staff Immortal Elder stroked his beard and smiled meaningfully, ”The title isn’t important. What’s important are those three breaths. Three breaths... This old man has lived for so long, and it’s the first time I’ve seen an Immortal Emperor-level figure fall faster than a chicken being slaughtered.”

Barbarian Ancestor Demon Emperor’s expression was quite unsightly.

He was also a Demon Emperor. Although Sacred Heavenly Lord Jin Yu wasn’t on the same path as him, he was still a representative of the Yao Race.

Now that he had been insta-killed in public by a Master of the Heavenly Court who had popped out of nowhere, the Yao Race’s status in the Immortal Realm was likely to plummet.

Xuanbing Immortal Emperor hadn’t said much from beginning to end; at this moment, he directly turned into a streak of cold light and left.

Zihua True Lord took one more look in the direction Long Da had disappeared, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes, before he also faded into the Void Realm.

Emperor Cang and Emperor Haotian exchanged a glance and also left with hearts full of concern.

...

The news spread even faster than Yao Xuan could fly.

A battle at the Immortal Emperor level was already a top-tier trending topic in the Immortal Realm.

Not to mention that the outcome of this battle was too absurd.

The Master of the Demon Court, the Eternal Demon Emperor Sacred Heavenly Lord Jin Yu, was killed in three breaths by a never-before-heard-of Master of the Heavenly Court, with not even a bird feather left behind.

This news first exploded within the circles of Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings.

Some busybodies even reconstructed the details of the battle, vividly describing how that five-colored giant hand descended from the sky, how the entire set of combos was as smooth as flowing water, and how the Demon Emperor was wiped clean before he could even self-detonate.

By the time it finished spreading, the versions became more and more exaggerated.

Some said the Master of the Heavenly Court was ten thousand zhang tall, and just one look made the Demon Emperor kneel.

Some said that with a swing of the sky-rending blade in his hand, half of the Immortal Realm’s sky turned black.

Others said the black-and-white divine dragon beneath him was actually the Reincarnation of some Ancient Dragon Emperor.

However, one point was consistent across all versions: the Master of the Heavenly Court was not to be trifled with.

The Immortal Kings one after another searched through the intelligence networks within their spheres of influence, frantically looking for any clues regarding the Heavenly Court.

As a result, they found that before this, there were no records of this power in the Immortal Realm.

It was as if it had sprouted out of a crack in the ground overnight.

The pressure brought by this unknown was more sleep-depriving than a known powerful enemy.

The news continued to filter down.

In the various Immortal Domains, Sects, cities, and Immortal Caves of the Immortal Realm, countless Cultivators learned of this battle through various channels.

Golden Immortals gathered to discuss and analyze what level the Master of the Heavenly Court’s cultivation had actually reached.

Some said at least the Nine Transformations of the Immortal Emperor level, while others said he might have come down from the Saint Realm for a stroll.

True Immortals were stunned as they listened; although they weren’t even sure what the Saint Realm was, it didn’t stop them from being shocked along with everyone else.

Earth Immortals and Human Immortals treated this as the ultimate topic of conversation over tea and meals.

”Have you heard? That Demon Emperor of the Demon Court was slaughtered!”

”I’ve heard, I’ve heard! He seems to be called... Nash? Long Da?”

”Why does this name sound so strange?”

”Who cares if it’s strange? Anyway, the Demon Emperor is dead, and the Demon Court is finished.”

Even the lowest-level Qi Refining Stage Cultivators heard some rumors in the corners of the market.

Of course, the version that reached their ears was already severely distorted, becoming a story about a ruthless man named Long Da who stewed the Demon Emperor, and supposedly, that Three-Legged Golden Crow soup was very nutritious.

...

At the center of this storm of public opinion, Long Da himself was riding Yao Xuan, leisurely flying toward the Abyss of Cangwu.

He was in a good mood.

Causing trouble on orders was indeed much more satisfying than doing it secretly.

Upon returning to the Abyss of Cangwu, many civil and military Immortal officials of the Heavenly Court were already waiting in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

These people were all local Immortals whom Long Da had swindled and recruited over the years.

Their cultivation ranged from Human Immortal to Golden Immortal; as for Immortal Kings, there wasn’t a single one. There was no helping it; Immortal Kings were a top-tier echelon second only to T0 Immortal Emperors.

Ranked as T1 in the myriad heavens, they were highly esteemed and definitely not like common cabbages found everywhere.

But even without an Immortal King, with many Golden Immortals standing in the Sect, such a Foundation was already a top-tier power that could not be underestimated in the vast Immortal Realm.

As soon as Long Da entered the door, the hall fell silent.

All eyes looked over in unison, filled with awe and, even more so, excitement.

Long Da sat on the throne, scanned the faces below, and said indifferently, ”Sacred Heavenly Lord Jin Yu of the Demon Court is dead.”

This sentence was said nonchalantly, but the hall erupted like a boiling pot.

Although the news had already spread back, hearing Your Majesty confirm it personally felt completely different.

A Golden Immortal-level martial general was the first to stand out, his face flushed red: ”Your Majesty’s Divine Might! That Demon Emperor was guilty of many crimes and should have died long ago! With Your Majesty’s action this time, the name of the Heavenly Court will surely shake the Immortal Realm!”

Others chimed in one after another, and the sounds of flattery rose and fell.

Long Da raised his hand and stopped the noise.

”The Demon Emperor is dead, but his territory is still there.”

”The Immortal Domains governed by the Demon Court—the resources, population, ore veins, Spiritual Veins, and their headquarters—this Heavenly Emperor wants them all.”

”In the next few days, you will go with this Heavenly Emperor to collect the land.”

The hall fell silent again.

Collecting land? It was easier said than done.

That was territory the Demon Court had managed for hundreds of millions of years. Even if the Demon Emperor was dead, there were still a bunch of Immortal Kings, Golden Immortals, and countless Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals below.

Would these people obediently hand over their territory?

Someone cautiously raised this question.

Long Da glanced at that person and only said four words: ”Kill those who don’t submit.”

No one in the hall dared to say anything more.

...

Over the next few days, Long Da did as he said.

The chaos set transformed back into imperial robes, the sky-rending blade hung at his waist, and the star-shattering hammer shrank into an ornament.

He didn’t ride Yao Xuan; after all, riding a dragon tens of thousands of zhang long to collect territory provided prestige, but it was hard to turn around in some narrow places.

He first took a team of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and headed straight for the Immortal Domain directly under the jurisdiction of the Demon Court closest to the Abyss of Cangwu.

The person in charge of this Immortal Domain was a wolf demon at the Peak Golden Immortal level, with over a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers under his command.

The wolf demon was originally hesitating whether to surrender or flee. Hearing that the Master of the Heavenly Court had come in person, he knelt on the spot and presented the Immortal Domain’s official seal and resource list with both hands.

Long Da didn’t take his head or his military power; he just let him continue to manage this Immortal Domain, but he had to change his flag and allegiance, following the orders of the Heavenly Court from then on.

The wolf demon nodded incessantly, his expression more pious than if he had seen his own father.

The second Immortal Domain didn’t go as smoothly.

The person in charge here was an old demon at the Immortal King level. His true form was a Rhino Spirit, with a violent temper and a brain that wasn’t very bright.

When he heard that the Demon Emperor Sacred Heavenly Lord Jin Yu was dead, his first reaction wasn’t fear, but anger. He felt that the Master of the Heavenly Court had killed his boss, and if he didn’t avenge this, he wouldn’t be a gentleman.

So he gathered his hundreds of thousands of Demon Soldiers and set up a formation, intending to go head-to-head with Long Da.

After Long Da arrived, he took one look at this battle array and sighed.

He wasn’t sighing at the opponent’s strength, but at the opponent’s stubbornness.

Thus, he raised his hand and gave a slap.

This slap used a simplified version of the Five Elements Great Luo Heaven Immortal Kingdom in Palm.

It slapped over like swatting a mosquito.

That Rhino Spirit at the Immortal King level didn’t even have time to scream. Along with his formation, he was slapped into the ground, creating a palm-print crater a thousand miles wide.

At the bottom of the crater, the Rhino Spirit had already turned into a thin pancake, and his demon soul didn’t even escape.

Hundreds of thousands of Demon Soldiers instantly scattered like birds and beasts.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals behind Long Da looked at each other.

They had followed Long Da for so many years, but it was the first time they had seen their own Majesty take action.

Before, they had only heard news that Your Majesty had insta-killed the Demon Emperor in three breaths and always felt it was an exaggeration. Today, seeing with their own eyes that a Great Demon at the Immortal King level couldn’t even take Your Majesty’s casual slap, they finally understood what it meant to insta-kill a Demon Emperor in three breaths.

Over the following days, Long Da followed the same pattern.

He led the Heavenly Court’s forces, collecting one Immortal Domain after another.

For those willing to surrender, he would see if their sins were heavy; those whose sins weren’t heavy could be retained for use.

Those who had eaten too many people and whose sins were deep were directly slaughtered.

He didn’t care about those who wanted to run.

Those who dared to resist were slapped to death.

This efficiency was absurdly high.

By the third day, the thirty-six Immortal Domains directly under the Demon Court’s jurisdiction all flew the flag of the Heavenly Court.

On the fourth day, Long Da personally led the elites under his command with the momentum of thunder and struck straight at the Foundation of the Demon Court—the Ten Thousand Demons Palace.

This palace was suspended above the clouds of the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm. It was not a mundane palace but a genuine low-grade innate spirit treasure.

Since the Demon Court established its race, it had been the center of power for the Yao Race, carrying the Foundation of the Demon Court for hundreds of millions of years.

The entire palace was cast from rare Black Gold Meteoric Iron, and the body of the hall was covered with crisscrossing Ancient Array Runes. It was rumored that with the enhancement of such array runes, it could withstand the full blow of an Immortal Emperor-level figure for several breaths without being destroyed, being incomparably sturdy.

Only today, this Ten Thousand Demons Palace, which once deterred the Immortal Realm, appeared exceptionally desolate.

Within the palace walls, the scene of ten thousand demons gathering with majestic Aura was long gone.

The various demons of the Yao Race were already in a state of panic, each fleeing for their lives.

Among them, it wasn’t that there were no ambitious Immortal King-level Great Demons who tried to take this low-grade innate spirit treasure and flee, planning for a future comeback.

Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Demons Palace’s Origin was special; only a pure Golden Crow Bloodline could fully activate and control it. The group of Great Demons lacked this Aptitude and simply couldn’t take this supreme treasure away.

In utter desperation, the demons could only abandon the palace stronghold, loot the rare treasures and Heaven And Earth Treasures within the palace, and flee in panic.

Thus, Long Da easily occupied the Ten Thousand Demons Palace and renamed it the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

He gave the place a complete makeover and designated it as the core center of the brand-new Heavenly Court in the future.

After a series of procedures, the Ten Thousand Demons Palace officially changed hands.

Long Da sat on the throne of the former Demon Emperor, his gaze slowly scanning the surroundings, and he nodded slightly.

This Innate Treasure Palace was indeed uniquely blessed; the inner domain was vast and boundless, the terrain and feng shui were excellent, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was dense and mellow.

Compared to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall he had hastily built while dormant in the Abyss of Cangwu on the outskirts of the Immortal Realm, this was many times more magnificent and grand.

Then Long Da sent down an order, commanding people to draft a proclamation to announce to all races and parties in the Immortal Realm in the name of the Heavenly Court:

Demon Emperor Sacred Heavenly Lord Jin Yu has fallen and been executed, and the Eternal Demon Court has been completely destroyed. All the Immortal Domain territories under its jurisdiction are, from today onwards, entirely incorporated into the governance of the Heavenly Court.

For all parties and powers, without a decree from the Heavenly Court, it is strictly forbidden to privately step into the old lands of the Demon Court. Violators will be considered as having openly declared war on the Heavenly Court.

This proclamation was imprinted with the vast Divine Thought of the Immortal Emperor level. With the power of the Heavenly Court Transmission Array, it spread through all domains of the Immortal Realm in an instant.

On this day, all top-tier powers and ancient legacies of the Immortal Realm received this message that shook the universe.

The reactions of the various parties were completely different—some watched silently, some were shaken to their core, some hid their fury, and some felt fear in their hearts.

But even with a myriad of emotions, not a single power dared to be the first to come forward to refute or publicly oppose it.

After all, the terrifying battle record of killing a veteran Immortal Emperor in three breaths was still fresh in their minds.

This was enough to make any power weigh their options a few more times before making a decision.
