I Became A Cannon Fodder In A Female Protagonist Cultivation Novel Chapter 681 -: Complete The Immortal King Validation? It’s Easy! Let Me Teach You! (Part 4)

“The Merit Saint Venerable?”

The most ancient exalted immortal inquired with surprise.

Chi Suzi stated, “The Imperial Seal of the Great Night is destined to perish in this era.

Fellow Daoist, I implore you not to defy the heavens.” She hadn't been dispatched by Fang Jinyu. As a Merit Saint Venerable, she sensed the Immortal Palace's obstruction of the immortal path's progress. Thus, her presence here served the path of merit and her own interests.

“Heavens?”

Upon hearing this, the most ancient exalted immortal chuckled, remarking, “I am an ‘Immortal of Heaven,’ and my station is above the heavens. Yet, you counsel me against defying the heavens? What consequence awaits even if I rebel?”

Possessing the might to contend with an immortal king for a fleeting moment after ultimate sublimation, the most ancient exalted immortal naturally exuded such confidence.

He was, in essence, the most formidable entity amongst the “Immortals of Heaven.”

Were it not for their considerable distance from immortal kings, which prevented frequent conflict, they could be aptly termed “pre-immortal kings.”

“Defying it brings no great calamity, merely my displeasure.” A voice, neither pleasing nor displeasing, suddenly resonated.

Following this, Fang Jinyu’s form materialized gradually.

This manifestation was, in truth, merely a projection of Fang Jinyu’s consciousness.

“The Purple Celestial Star’s Green Emperor? Nay! I should address you as the Ancestor of Devils!” The most ancient exalted immortal recognized Fang Jinyu, uttering in admiration, “You are indeed the most gifted individual to ever exist. None in the past, nor likely any in the future, can rival your prowess. You achieved this through innate talent!”

Despite being but a thought-form, Fang Jinyu's manifestation was beyond the perception of an ancient exalted immortal. Consequently, the ancient exalted immortal presumed the Ancestor of Devils, “Fang Jinyu,” had descended in his true body, his power on par with his own.

“Fellow Daoist, your commendation is appreciated. In light of this, I shall permit you to reclaim your current cultivation base within the subsequent cycle of the cultivation path.” Fang Jinyu offered a smile and a nod.

“The cultivation path’s order?”

The ancient exalted immortal, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned. After a considerable pause, he finally recollected himself.

“You… Have you completed your immortal king validation?”

The Imperial Seal of the Great Night, standing nearby, reacted with even greater astonishment than the ancient exalted immortal.

“Impossible! Utterly impossible! How could Fang Jinyu possibly ascend to become an immortal king?”

After all, they had once shared the status of “emperors in the same era.”

Moreover, he had previously “triumphed” over Fang Jinyu, securing his position as the supreme being of the immortal realm! Yet, to learn that Fang Jinyu had already attained immortal king status? If that were so, what purpose did all his endeavors in the karma realm serve?

“How can it be impossible? Is becoming an immortal king a formidable feat?” Fang Jinyu inquired calmly, his tone akin to conversing with an old acquaintance.

“Is it easy?”

The Imperial Seal of the Great Night blurted out involuntarily.

“It is not difficult! If you possess the desire to learn, I am willing to impart the knowledge to you!” Fang Jinyu stated with a serene smile.

However, the Imperial Seal of the Great Night remained silent.

The reason being: he was deceased.

He was no longer qualified to accept Fang Jinyu’s generous offer.

“Fellow Daoist, do you harbor any objections to my aforementioned judgment?” Fang Jinyu inquired, turning his gaze toward the most ancient exalted immortal with a smile.

“Immortal King, I thank you for your leniency!”

Without uttering another word, the most ancient exalted immortal took his own life.

Chi Suzi couldn't help but exclaim with elation, “Master, so you truly have become an immortal king!” Despite her prior suspicions, the confirmation brought her immense joy.

“Indeed, becoming an immortal king is not an arduous task.”

Fang Jinyu replied nonchalantly.

Yet, Chi Suzi understood that she should not solely rely on his humble pronouncements. She then inquired, “Master, how does one achieve the status of an immortal king?”

“The method to become an immortal king? Well… it should involve three distinct stages!” “And what are these three stages?” Chi Suzi’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Fang Jinyu solemnly explained, “The initial step requires traversing a portion of the cultivation path to attain the rank of a ‘First Immortal.’ Subsequently, the second step involves a significant leap to become an ‘Immortal of Heaven.’ Finally, the third step entails reaching the ultimate destination of the cultivation path, thereby becoming an immortal king! What are your thoughts? Is it not remarkably straightforward!”

Chi Suzi, inclined to remain silent, found herself utterly speechless.

She mused, “It would have been better had I not listened to such simplistic preaching from an immortal king!”

The demise of the Imperial Seal of the Great Night also signified the definitive end of the Immortal Palace Era.

Henceforth, the Immortal Palace, which had loomed majestically over the immortal realm for countless eons, was irrevocably destroyed.

Immortal stars blazed in the heavens, ushering in the birth of new immortal lords. These exalted beings carried out the mandates of the Purple Celestial Star, harmonizing the realms of heaven and earth.

For a significant period, the immortal path flourished with unprecedented vigor.

Mortals, whose lifespans were short and whose progress was once hindered by the self-proclaimed immortal races, now found themselves effortlessly breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage. Those possessing even moderate talent, such as individuals with four spiritual roots, could attain the Core Formation stage without reliance on any medicinal aids.

However, a considerable number also succumbed to Qi deviation or strayed onto the path of demonic cultivation.

The populace harbored a deep animosity towards cultivators of the devil's path, and esteemed cultivators frequently undertook missions to eradicate these deviants. Yet, peculiar as it was, the number of devils seemed inexhaustible, evading complete annihilation by anyone.

After a span of time, an individual finally ascended to the Purple Celestial Star, assuming the mantle of the planet's new sovereign.

This ascended being was none other than the second supreme of the immortal realm!

A completely new epoch had commenced.

The newly appointed master of the Purple Celestial Star was a disciple of an "Immortal of Heaven." In terms of both lineage and innate talent, he stood unparalleled, arguably the most formidable figure in existence.

Tranquility reigned supreme following his assumption of the immortal realm's highest authority. Nevertheless, he encountered a woman who captured his heart.

Despite his affections, the immortal realm's supreme hesitated to pursue romantic entanglements due to the ever-present threat of the demonic tribulation.

However, the suppression of his emotions only exacerbated the situation, leading the immortal realm's supreme to harbor a thought he had never previously entertained.

"I am the supreme of the immortal realm! The entire world ought to heed my command! Why must I be shackled by the progenitor of devils?"

"Yier..."

"She belongs to me!"

The eyes of the immortal realm's supreme instantly hardened with resolve. He promptly convened his most trusted confidants to deliberate their next steps.

Shortly thereafter, a decree for the slaying of devils reverberated throughout the realms.

His objective was to eliminate the progenitor of devils, "Fang Jinyu!"

The immense duration of an immeasurable tribulation was sufficient to erode the memories of many individuals concerning numerous events.

Furthermore, Fang Jinyu had covertly achieved his immortal king validation without any ostentatious display. No celestial phenomena accompanied his breakthrough; instead, the immortal king's blessing descended upon the immortal realm in absolute secrecy.

Fang Jinyu held no regard for personal recognition. He paid no attention to such matters.

Consequently, Fang Jinyu was indifferent to whether the world acknowledged his benevolent deeds or not.

As for the second supreme of the immortal realm... the moment he harbored malicious intentions towards Fang Jinyu, his reign as supreme effectively concluded.

Ultimately, the second supreme of the immortal realm met his demise.

Even in his death throes, he remained fixated on the woman who occupied his thoughts, a testament to his profound infatuation.

"Master, that female cultivator behaves most unusually."

At this juncture, Chi Suzi, who stood beside Fang Jinyu gazing down upon the immortal realm, voiced her observation. While numerous individuals attained immortality through the cultivation of the Dao of Merit, Chi Suzi was singular in her achievement of becoming a Merit Saint Venerable.

Indeed, ascending to the status of an "Immortal of Heaven" was no trivial feat. Chi Suzi's accomplishment was made possible solely through Fang Jinyu's intervention.

In essence, an immortal king had facilitated her advancement through unconventional means.

"There is nothing peculiar about her," Fang Jinyu stated, his gaze fixed upon the valley where the woman, the vessel of the fallen immortals' path, resided. "You are curious as to why I spared her life, given her malicious intent towards me, and why I even offered her clandestine assistance, are you not?"

"Master, your wisdom is profound!"

Chi Suzi offered swift praise.

Fang Jinyu responded with a mysterious smile, imparting his words earnestly. "You shall comprehend when you are capable of bearing the weight of the immortal realm."

"Yes, I understand!"

Chi Suzi harbored no doubts regarding Fang Jinyu's pronouncements. After all, her current standing was entirely a consequence of his actions. Since Fang Jinyu's completion of his immortal king validation, Chi Suzi had viewed him with the utmost admiration.

Consequently, any word uttered by Fang Jinyu was met with her unwavering trust!

This included the teachings imparted by the immortal king.

Over the course of an immeasurable tribulation, Chi Suzi gradually began to grasp the meaning behind Fang Jinyu's words as she adapted to her role as an "Immortal of Heaven."

Chi Suzi then inquired, "Master, why did you choose not to ascend to the immortal realm but remain here instead?"

Fang Jinyu had resided in this location for an extended period, fueling her burgeoning curiosity.

Initially, Chi Suzi had hesitated to pose further questions. However, as her time spent with Fang Jinyu increased and she gained a deeper understanding of his character, she found the courage to inquire.

"Me? I am merely awaiting the return of a certain fool..." Fang Jinyu declared with feigned seriousness, "...so that I may then mock her!"
