Chapter 32, First Divine General
Chapter 32, First Divine General
"Divine Body, Feathered Body, Azure Heaven Body... Human King Body, Moon Palace Spirit Body!"
Jiang Ling glanced at the crowd standing before him, sighed for a moment, and then turned to an old man, saying:
"Elder Xuan, they are now in your care. All resources and ancient scriptures will be retrieved from the treasure vault!"
Elder Xuan came from an ancient star in the primordial era and was one of the foundations of the Heavenly Dao Sect. His strength reached the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor.
The Heavenly Way, the lineage founded by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, has endured since its inception, with masters emerging in every generation, possessing an unparalleled profound foundation.
Among them, the Taoist scriptures mastered by this sect are known as the Mother Scripture of Humanity, and are ranked alongside the Heavenly Tribulation Transcending Technique. All the supreme beings of past generations have practiced them to varying degrees.
Of course, they are not complacent. In order to ensure that the Heavenly Dao Sect can exist forever, they will make different choices in each great era.
First, they cultivate their own core disciples, making them the foundation for the future of Tianyi Dao. If someone proves their Dao ahead of them, they will also invest in them.
For example, at the end of the mythological era, when faced with the incomparably powerful Emperor, the supreme forces such as the Heavenly Dao and the Intercepting Heaven Dao made their choices.
Now that Jiang Ling has attained enlightenment, reigns supreme over the universe, and established a Daoist court, they naturally send people to join him.
Strictly speaking, their relationship with the Taoist court was one of mutual cooperation; they helped the Taoist court spread its teachings and cultivate disciples.
The Dao Court will open its treasure vault to them, allowing those who join the Dao Court to become stronger.
"Yes, Dao Lord, rest assured, I will train them properly!"
Xuan Lai looked at the assembled geniuses with a satisfied expression in his eyes. Even the Heavenly Dao Sect could not gather so many special traits and bloodlines.
It's only because the Dao Court has Jiang Ling, a supreme being, in charge that ordinary forces would find it much more difficult to find a divine body or other special bloodline.
"Master, may we become your disciples?"
Just then, someone among the prodigies spoke up.
The other prodigies' eyes lit up upon hearing this, as becoming a disciple of Jiang Ling and becoming a disciple of Elder Xuan were two completely different concepts.
By becoming disciples of Master Xuan, and with their natural talent, they will grow into powerful generals within the Daoist realm.
However, if one were to become Jiang Ling's disciple, their status would undergo a dramatic change. In name, they would become the heir to the Dao Court in the future, and they would also have access to supreme scriptures for cultivation, enjoying the best resources.
Therefore, after hearing Jiang Ling's arrangement, someone quickly made a choice.
"Heavenly Overlord Body!"
Jiang Ling looked at the person who spoke and recognized him as the Azure Heaven Overlord Body.
"I will indeed take some disciples from among you, but that will depend on your performance!"
Jiang Ling did not reprimand him. He did indeed have the intention to recruit disciples, but with the Dao Court newly established, he would not easily accept them.
Among the special physiques present, the strongest are the Holy Body, whose body flows with golden blood, and the Heavenly Tyrant Body, the nemesis of the Holy Body lineage, as well as the Divine Body and other physiques. Their physiques can be passed down through their bloodlines.
In other words, as long as they are kept in the Dao Court, their descendants will become the backbone of the Dao Court in the future.
"Very well, Dao Master, I, Cang Li, will prove that I am absolutely qualified to become your disciple!"
Cang Li, the Overlord of the Azure Heaven, shouted after hearing Jiang Ling's words.
"Only those who comprehend the divine restrictions are barely qualified to become my disciples, while those who comprehend the forbidden domains can become my formal disciples!"
As a leader, you may not be good at other things, but you must be able to make grand promises like "I can't be sure" at all.
Faced with the many eager talents, Jiang Ling didn't hesitate to offer them a rosy picture.
However, Cang Li and the other prodigies all seemed to agree wholeheartedly. Although the two requirements put forward by Jiang Ling were difficult, they also met Jiang Ling's requirements for recruiting disciples.
What gives the Dao Court the confidence to dominate the universe and rule the world? It's none other than Jiang Ling's unparalleled combat power.
In the future, they will also be members of the Dao Court. If they want to become core figures of the Dao Court, the most basic requirement is that their own strength must be up to par.
Even if one doesn't attain enlightenment, one must reach the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level to be qualified to command the world.
"Elder Xuan, take them down!"
"Also, bring these two little girls along. Their bloodline power is astonishing; they will surely become emperors in the future!"
Jiang Ling looked at Xia Yu and Youyou and said, "Although their bloodline power is amazing, they are indeed too young right now."
Now that they are at this age, it is the perfect time for them to diligently cultivate, so Jiang Ling naturally cannot treat them as mascots.
"Hmm? Us?"
Seeing that Jiang Ling had suddenly noticed her, Xia Yu turned around with a blank expression and met Jiang Ling's gaze.
Hearing the noise, Youyou, who was lying next to Jiang Ling, raised her head and then came to Jiang Ling's side, affectionately licking the back of her hand.
They were both too young. Although they possessed the combat power of a second-level immortal, their intelligence was similar to that of a five- or six-year-old human child. They didn't care much about cultivation at all.
"Hmm, not bad. You all need to cultivate as well, and strive to unlock your potential!"
Jiang Ling nodded and said affirmatively.
Seeing Jiang Ling's earnest gaze, no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to leave with Elder Xuan.
After everyone left, Jiang Ling continued his cultivation.
He gained many insights from his battle with the Emperor. Unlike the Carefree Celestial Venerable, the Emperor had no weaknesses and had cultivated for a longer period of time than him, making his magical power extremely profound.
To reach the level of an Emperor, one must take one step at a time and continuously improve oneself; otherwise, catching up with the other in a short period of time is nothing short of a pipe dream.
However, Jiang Ling wasn't too worried, as the Emperor's plans were of great importance and would require a long time to make arrangements.
By the time he finishes making the arrangements, Jiang Ling will most likely have already become an immortal.
boom!
Suddenly, it seemed as if a thunderclap struck the heavens and earth, shaking the entire universe.
"Huh!"
Jiang Ling was surprised and looked towards the edge of the universe with a strange expression. Her gaze pierced through the endless star field and she saw the scene there.
A massive celestial calamity appeared, and with a single strike, it shattered countless stars, turning the area into a desolate wasteland, terrifying and boundless.
Someone has undergone tribulation. The Great Tribulation of the Nine Heavens has descended, blotting out the sky and the sun, vast and unpredictable, shaking the entire universe.
"Who is that?"
"Is he also a prodigy of our time? How come I've never seen him before!"
Many people looked puzzled upon seeing the person undergoing tribulation at the edge of the universe.
However, some people showed surprise and recognized the other person's identity.
"The First Divine General!"
Upon witnessing the calamity at the edge of the universe, the powerful members of the Heavenly Court's remnants wept with joy, and subsequently, many quasi-emperors traveled to the edge of the universe.
"It's him!"
Soon, Jiang Ling also learned the other party's identity: Chuan Ying, the number one divine general of the Heavenly Court. She never expected that he would be born at this time and even break through the barrier to achieve enlightenment.
The first divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, at the end of the mythological era, once fought against the Immortal Ascension Path and others.
However, by that time, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and others had already taken the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and returned to their peak state. With his combat power, he was simply unable to change the outcome on the path to immortality.
To protect him, the Emperor intervened, sealing him away and banishing him.
"boom!"
Amidst the vast calamity, all the stars in the heavens twinkled as if ignited. Chuan Ying's aura instantly reached its peak, surging forth and shattering the thirty-three heavens above and reaching the nine netherworlds below.
He struggles in the vast universe, striving to break through immortality and carve out a bright and brilliant future!
"What a powerful heavenly tribulation! What a terrifying First Divine General! Truly worthy of being the number one person below the Supreme Being!"
"Hey, he's shown up. Some old fogies are in trouble!"
Inside the restricted area, some people sighed, while others gloated.
In the mythological era, they had all interacted with Chuan Ying and knew of his power and extraordinary abilities. If Emperor Ruofei had attained enlightenment first, then it would be his turn to achieve enlightenment in that lifetime.
Those supreme beings who intervened back then were all at their peak, and Chuan Ying's unique path to enlightenment made it impossible for him to change the fate of the Heavenly Court.
However, everything is different now. Ten thousand years have passed, and the effects of the supreme medicine from taking the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill have long since worn off. He has been cut off again and fallen back into the supreme realm.
If a supreme being in this state were to be entangled with Chuan Ying, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
The great calamity of Chuanying lasted for an unknown period of time. Gods and demons roared between heaven and earth, stars trembled wildly, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared. In the end, even the terrifying phenomenon of flying immortals appeared.
"This is a sign of enlightenment! In the past, all those who witnessed such a sight later attained the highest position in the Tao!"
Finally, Chuanying soared into the sky, shattering the sea of thunder, breaking through the heavenly tribulation, defying the heavens, as if he wanted to shatter all thirty-three layers of heaven in one breath!
The heavenly tribulation shook the entire universe. Chuan Ying continued to fight against it, eventually transcending the tribulations of the nine heavens, which then attracted even more terrifying lightning.
Is he really going to try to enter the realm of imperial power?
