After a while, Qin Di asked, "Senior, can you tell me what the Immortal World is like? Isn't the fighting and competition in the Immortal World very intense? I heard that quite a number of Immortal Lords perished. What happened? "
Goumang chuckled. "The competition in the Immortal World has always been intense! If it wasn't, why would I end up like this? Isn't it tragic enough to be chopped into pieces and sealed in many places? The Immortal World was relatively peaceful in the early years, but in recent years, the fighting has become more and more brutal. "
Qin Di frowned. "Senior, since cultivators have cultivated for so many years and finally become immortals, shouldn't they be carefree and carefree? Why aren't they as happy as mortals? "
Goumang snorted. "It's mainly because of the Heavenly Dao Monument! If not for the Heavenly Dao Monument, there wouldn't be so many disputes. "
Qin Di was a little astonished. "Ah? Is it because of the Heavenly Dao Monument? Senior, tell me in detail. Why would the Heavenly Dao Monument cause fighting? "
Goumang's expression turned solemn. "The front of the Heavenly Dao Monument lists the cultivators' rankings. Since there are rankings, there will be competition. It's like the flow of a great river. The new waves push the old, and the younger generation always wants to surpass the older generation. It's too risky to challenge the older generation openly, so they think of unorthodox ways to frame the older generation. In order to surpass the older generation, even a disciple that has been nurtured for years might have evil intentions and frame the older generation. It's precisely because of this that we Divine Lords are very careful when we recruit disciples. We don't easily take in direct disciples. Often, we will observe them for hundreds of thousands of years before we teach them everything we know. Don't worry, you are extraordinary. You helped me and the three Divine Lords during my most difficult times. Furthermore, you cultivate in the Godfiend Body Tempering Technique and have deep ties with the Ancestral Magi. Therefore, I will do my best to teach you. "
"Thank you, Divine Lord, for your kindness. I will definitely not have any ill intentions towards you. "Qin Di listened quietly and interjected from time to time.
Goumang continued, "In the immortal world, there are many great immortals of noble character. They like to guide their juniors and have thousands of mercenaries. However, almost half of such great immortals end up with bad endings. They are either deceived by their friends and die in sparring, or they are deliberately harmed by their disciples. So, if you have the chance to grow to that level, you'd better be on your guard. You can't treat anyone with sincerity. "
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior. This disciple will remember it." Hearing this, Qin Di couldn't help but be alert. Along the way, his path of cultivation had been too smooth, so he was completely sincere to all of his friends. However, he would have to be careful when he made friends in the future.
Goumang continued, "Those who dare reveal their Grotto-heaven in the Heavenly realm, turning it into a star, and open it to the cultivators of the outside world are either foolish and bold, having cultivated smoothly all their lives without suffering any setbacks. Such people are the easiest to fall victim to; or they are fishing for fame, opening their Grotto-heaven to attract cultivators over to raise their reputation. Such people are very wary; or there are people with divine powers and boundless Dharmic powers who aren't afraid of others causing trouble."
"For example, Patriarch Hong Jun set up a Daoist temple in Mt. Yujing of the Zenith Heaven years ago and took in three direct disciples. The first disciple was Yuanshi Tianzun, who is also known as the Great God Pangu. The second disciple was Taishang Laojun, who once wrote the Dao De Jing and opened up the path to immortality for Daoism. The third disciple was Daoist Tongtian, and the other three in-name disciples were Goddess Nüwa, Buddhist Mother Cundi, and Amitabha …"
"Look, what kind of disciples are they!? To be an immortal, to be able to reach such a stage like Patriarch Hong Jun is truly enviable! It's a pity that many great immortals wanted to imitate Patriarch Hong Jun and open their sects to recruit disciples, but there were fewer and fewer who could succeed. "
Qin Di praised, "Every disciple under Patriarch Hong Jun is amazing."
"That's right. Yuanshi Tianzun created heaven and earth, Taishang Laojun opened up the path to immortality, Daoist Tongtian founded the Jie Sect, Goddess Nüwa refined stones to mend the sky, and the last two founded Buddhism. These are all great figures of indomitable spirit. These people have already surpassed the Celestial Emperor and became gods long ago. They are not within the scope of the 49 Immortal Emperors."
Qin Di felt a little confused and asked, "What's the relationship between these people and the Celestial Court?"
"None of them hold a position in the Celestial Court, but their status is beyond the Celestial Court. They are beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements. It's a long story. When you reach the Immortal Realm, you will slowly realize it. "
Qin Di pondered for a moment, but he did not know what the situation was. All he knew was that these people's status was higher than ordinary Immortal Emperors.
At that moment, he heard Goumang continue, "The back of the Heavenly Dao Monument is engraved with many Heavenly Dao Grand Arts. All sorts of rules of the Celestial Court and the system that immortals have to abide by are engraved on it. This is a good thing, but there are also disadvantages. The advantage is that it is well-organized. Cultivators know what they should do and what they shouldn't do. If they do something wrong, they will suffer Heavenly Tribulations and Heavenly Wrath. The disadvantage is that there are countless disputes and wrangling in order to enact these laws. One has to know that behind the 49 Immortal Emperors are a large number of immortals. They represent different interests. As a result, many people have their eyes on the throne of the Immortal Emperors. Therefore, these Immortal Emperors are in danger and might even perish, just like me, Zhu Rong, Rushou, and Gonggong … Now, the Qing Emperor, White Emperor, Red Emperor, Black Emperor, and Yellow Emperor are in trouble … "
Qin Di probed, "What kind of trouble is it?"
Goumang glanced at him and said, "You will know when it's time for you to know."
Qin Di chatted with Goumang for a long time and obtained quite a bit of valuable information from him. Finally, he bade farewell reluctantly.
After leaving the boundary of the immortal array, he came to the front of the huge seventh-tier immortal tree. He reached out to touch the immortal tree and said, "Sha Tang, you heard it too. The Divine Lord gave you to me. Will you come with me? If you stay here, you no longer have any room to rise. If the Divine Lord leaves, your foundation might be destroyed by the Senshu that comes later. That won't be good. "
After a while, he heard a clear voice from the Immortal Tree: "Do you have a Rank Seven immortal spirit vein? If not, I will suffer if I go. "
Qin Di answered, "I do! I only have one Level 7 Immortal Spiritual Vein now, but I'll have a second one in the future. If it wasn't for the lack of a Level 8 Immortal Array, I might even be able to form a Level 8 Immortal Spiritual Vein! "
The Immortal Tree said lightly, "A Rank Seven immortal spirit vein is enough. I have decided to go with you. "
With that, the towering Immortal Tree started to shrink. After about five minutes, it shrunk to less than a foot.
It could have shrunk even smaller, but Qin Di shouted, "That's enough! You don't have to do this to yourself. "
He put the Crabapple Tree into his grotto-heaven and walked out of the valley.
It took less than a day for Qin Di to enter the valley. When he came out, the girls were still digging immortal tree hearts.
