A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1367: Astonishing Plot

The Reincarnation Palace Master, Li Yuanjiu, and Chi Rong were all among the top ten most powerful cultivators in the True Immortal Realm, yet their combined powers hadn't even been enough to leave the slightest scratch on his robes.

Gu Huojin cast an incantation seal into the bodies of Dao Ancestor Bai Yun and the red-faced elderly man, and they instantly reverted back to their original condition.

This wasn't any type of healing ability. Instead, it was as if they had never sustained any injuries in the first place, as if they had gone back in time to before those injuries were sustained.

The Reincarnation Palace Master's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, while Dao Ancestor Bai Yun and the red-faced elderly man gleefully expressed their gratitude to Gu Huojin.

Gu Huojin waved off their gratitude as he turned his gaze to Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong, and Dao Ancestor Bai Yun did the same as he interrogated in a cold voice, "Li Yuanjiu, Chi Rong, the Heavenly Court has always treated you well, and you've even been granted two seats among the Seven Heavenly Dao Lords and promised the opportunity to transcend beyond the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao in the future, so why have you betrayed the Supreme Lord for the Reincarnation Palace?"

Everyone else in the Jade Pond Paradise also turned to Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong with perplexed expressions, while True Lord Cang Wu's trio was astonished by what they had just heard.

During the earlier conversation between the Reincarnation Palace Master and Gu Huojin, the notion of transcending beyond the Heavenly Dao had been mentioned, but they had only thought that that had been a figure of speech.

However, it seemed that this was a far more tangible thing than they had first imagined.

As Dao Ancestors, the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao was their foremost concern, so if there really was a way to transcend beyond the Heavenly Dao, then they were desperate to find out how.

"Looks like you haven't detected anything at all, Fellow Daoist Bai Yun. You better be careful that you don't get sold by Gu Huojin like a fool," Li Yuanjiu said with a faint smile.

"How dare you slander the Supreme Lord like this!" Dao Ancestor Bai Yun yelled in a furious manner.

"You'll know if it's slander very soon," Li Yuanjiu said with a faint smile, then retreated to behind the Reincarnation Palace Master, while Chi Rong also did the same, positioning the Reincarnation Palace Master at the forefront.

"Fellow daoists of the True Immortal Realm, I have not come to this Bodhi Banquet to cause trouble. Instead, I have come to tell all of you something," the Reincarnation Palace Master declared.

Gu Huojin's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, but his composed facade quickly returned.

"What I'm about to tell you concerns a plot that Gu Huojin has been hatching for a very long time, so long that some of you hadn't even begun cultivation at the time of its inception. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the most heinous plot in all of history, and for his role as the mastermind, he deserves to die countless times over!" the Reincarnation Palace Master declared as he stabbed a finger in Gu Huojin's direction.

"What insolence!"

"You are the one who deserves to die countless times over for your crimes, you scoundrel!"

The cultivators of the Heavenly Court were furious.

"Have you come here just to levy baseless accusations against me? What evidence do you have to back up your claims?" Gu Huojin asked with a composed smile.

"It's a very long story, the origin of which must be traced back to the distant past. As I'm sure all of you are aware, Dao Ancestors are able to draw upon the law powers of the Heavenly Dao, but also are constantly under threat of being devoured by the Heavenly Dao. This is the biggest concern for all Dao Ancestors, and it's a problem that all of the Dao Ancestors throughout history have been trying to resolve.

“Some people have attempted to cultivate secret techniques that bolster their mental fortitude to resist the Heavenly Court, some have refined special immortal treasures for the purpose of warding off the Heavenly Court's assimilation, and some have even tried emulating Earthly Immortals by taking in the power of faith.

“Unfortunately, none of these attempted solutions have proven effective, but things began to change when the Heavenly Court welcomed its previous ruler before Gu Huojin." the Reincarnation Palace Master said.

Gu Huojin's expression changed ever so slightly upon hearing this.

"The previous supreme lord of the Heavenly Court was a peerless prodigy who was able to reach the pinnacle of the laws of time, and he also invented a way to combine law powers of different attributes into one through the use of arrays," the Reincarnation Palace Master continued as a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Everyone in the Jade Pond Paradise was astonished to hear this.

It was extremely difficult to fuse together law powers of different attributes, and it was only achievable through an extensive process of mutual acclimation.

Hence, it was incredible to think that this could be achieved through the use of an array.

Such an extraordinary figure should've been vastly renowned across the entire True Immortal Realm, so why had they never heard of him?

"That supreme lord's name is Gu Daoshen. With the passing of time, many have forgotten him, but I'm sure this is a name that Gu Huojin and the other fellow daoists of the Heavenly Court will be very familiar with," the Reincarnation Palace Master said with a faint smile.

Contemplative looks appeared on everyone's faces upon hearing this.

Gu Huojin and Gu Daoshen both shared the same surname, so was there a connection between the two?

Dao Ancestor Bai Yun took a glance at Gu Huojin, then suddenly interjected, "What's the point in telling these stories? You brought the cultivators of the Devil Realm and the primordial land to this place and also turned Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong against our Heavenly Court all so that you could start a war. In that case, why waste all this time with words?"

"What's the hurry? Could it be that you have something to hide?" the Reincarnation Palace Master asked with a cold sneer.

All of the banquet attendees had begun chattering among themselves through voice transmission upon hearing this. Could it be that the Reincarnation Palace Master was telling the truth, and Gu Huojin and the Heavenly Court really were plotting something in secret?

With these questions hanging in the air, the cultivators who were planning to side with the Heavenly Court were beginning to have second thoughts.

In reality, even the likes of Dao Ancestor Bai Yun didn't know much about Gu Daoshen. All they knew was that he had been the previous supreme lord, and that something had happened between him and Gu Huojin when the position of supreme lord was passed down from one to the other.

They didn't know exactly what had happened at the time, but it clearly wasn't going to be something beneficial to them, given that the Reincarnation Palace Master was choosing to bring it up now.

Gu Huojin remained calm and collected, making no effort to cut off the Reincarnation Palace Master.

"Supreme Lord, I don't know what he's about to say, but we can't allow him to keep swaying hearts like this! Even though we're outnumbered, I'm sure we'll be able to overcome them with your powers. As for all of the banquet attendees, even if they don't help us, I'm sure they wouldn't dare to turn to the Reincarnation Palace," the red-faced elderly man urged through voice transmission.

"It's fine, let him speak. Go ahead, we'll listen," Gu Huojin said as he turned to the Reincarnation Palace Master, not bothering to hide what he was saying behind the veil of voice transmission.

Dao Ancestor Bai Yun and the red-faced elderly man were clearly still of the opinion that this was not a good idea, but there was nothing that they could do, given that Gu Huojin had already give the Reincarnation Palace Master permission to continue speaking.

"As expected of the ruler of the Heavenly Court. You may be a deplorable man, but you're certainly not lacking in poise," the Reincarnation Palace Master chuckled.

"Gu Daoshen discovered that the combination of multiple law powers could ward off the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao, so he combined nine types of law powers to create the Divine Dao Seal.

“The reason why consuming Bodhi Dao Fruits can delay the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao is precisely because they contain the power of the Divine Dao Seal," the Reincarnation Palace Master revealed, and only then was everyone present made aware of why the Bodhi Dao Fruits had the effect that they did.

Meanwhile, True Lord Cang Wu was looking at the Reincarnation Palace Master with a complex mixture of emotions in his eyes.

He had just been denouncing the Reincarnation Palace Master for his recklessness, but not only was he actually extremely well-prepared, he was also privy to information that was beyond the knowledge of almost everyone present.

In comparison, he felt like a frog sitting at the bottom of a well, and with that in mind, even his desire for vengeance had abated significantly.

"So you're even aware of the Divine Dao Seal. Looks like you really do know quite a lot," Gu Huojin remarked in a calm manner.

"The Divine Dao Seal is far from Gu Daoshen's greatest creation. Instead, that would be the Three Thousand Daos Divine Array, something that he dedicated his entire life to. Then again, there's no need for me to tell you that, considering you, his self corpse soul, were the one who helped him complete the array," the Reincarnation Palace Master scoffed.

"What!"

Everyone turned to Gu Huojin with incredulous expressions upon hearing this, including even the likes of Dao Ancestor Bai Yun.
