Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 648

Chapter 646: Immortal Lord Lu Wu

In the Immortal Realm, Kunlun Hill.

A nine-tailed behemoth perched atop the mountain, its brow furrowed slightly. The celestial phenomena shifted accordingly, becoming gloomy.

“Can’t contact the Eight Desolations?”

Luwu Immortal Lord muttered to himself, not quite understanding.

Luwu Immortal Lord was a nine-tailed, slender-eyed immortal tiger. Among the immortal beasts, he held the highest status, respected by all.

“I contacted Bahuang, and Bahuang dared not not respond. So, something happened to Bahuang?”

“How is that possible? I have sent four earth immortals to support them. Bahuang’s overall strength is comparable to that of celestial immortals. What difficulties can we face against a mere isolated Jiuzhou?”

“Bai Yexian is a subordinate of the Nether Fire Immortal Lord. It was a serious mistake for him to give birth to the prototype of the Heavenly Dao. As his superior, the Nether Fire Immortal Lord bears direct responsibility.”

“I wanted to use Bai Yexian’s incident to bring down the Nether Fire Immortal Lord, but he reacted too quickly and executed Bai Yexian with the force of thunder and hung him on the South Heaven Gate. He said it was to set an example, but in fact, it was done for His Majesty the Immortal Emperor to see.”

“I didn’t seize that opportunity with Bai Yexian. What a pity.”

“Jiuzhou is governed by the Immortal Lord of Hellfire. This presents a golden opportunity to bring him down once and for all. We must not pass it up.” Immortal

Lord Luwu, a descendant of the Immortal Emperor, holds a different role than most Golden Immortals. He obeys the Immortal Emperor’s orders and oversees the Golden Immortals, monitoring them to see if they neglect their duties or make mistakes that could lead to the emergence of the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao.

The Eight Desolations serve as one of his methods of surveillance. He allows them to randomly crash into other worlds, regardless of which immortal is responsible.

If a world doesn’t give rise to the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, he will destroy it. If it does, he will report it to him.

As for the Eight Desolations, of course, they won’t survive. By the end of the Great Purge, when they have lost their effectiveness, they will be destroyed.

If a embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao appears in the Eight Desolations, that’s no problem; a Golden Immortal can easily destroy even a nascent embryonic form.

Besides the Eight Desolations, he has other methods of spot-checking worlds. He has already discovered two worlds where the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao appeared due to errors in their work.

Some immortals were indeed eager for quick results. After all, the will of living beings before death only had the potential to give rise to the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, not its inevitability. These immortals, hoping for a lucky break, destroyed the world, only to be discovered by him, bringing misfortune upon their Golden Immortal superiors.

Two Golden Immortals had already been punished for this, but that wasn’t enough. Among the Golden Immortals

, he was most wary of the Netherfire Immortal Lord.

Two of these Golden Immortals stood out: the Netherfire Immortal Lord and the War Immortal.

Both were immortal geniuses, rare only once in millions of years. In just tens of thousands of years, they ascended from Earth Immortal to Golden Immortal, demonstrating an incredibly stable foundation, comparable to that of these veteran Golden Immortals.

War Immortal was fine; he was of the original lineage, his mind preoccupied with battle, and he wouldn’t compete for his favor.

But the Netherfire Immortal Lord was different. Like him, he was of the Immortal Emperor lineage. His presence in the front row of the court indicated the Immortal Emperor’s deep regard for him.

This was a bad sign. If the Immortal Emperor were to cede some of his power to him, wouldn’t his own authority be diminished, and his prestige among the Golden Immortals diminished?

Many Golden Immortals complained about him.

However, the Netherfire Immortal Lord was responsible for too many worlds to investigate, so Luwu Immortal Lord focused his work on him, not solely focusing on him.

Coincidentally, Bahuang reported to him that something called earth veins had appeared in Jiuzhou, suspected to be the prototype of the Heavenly Dao. He described the characteristics of the earth veins to him, which delighted Luwu Immortal Lord immensely.

The Human Emperor was chosen by the earth veins, which perfectly matched the Immortal Emperor’s role as the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao.

There was a 90% chance that this thing was the prototype of the Heavenly Dao. Furthermore

, judging by the timeline, the earth veins had appeared for 9,000 years, but the Netherfire Immortal Lord remained unaware of them, a responsibility he held responsible for negligence.

“The blame for negligence isn’t enough. We need to operationalize it, moving from negligence to cover-up.”

“The Netherfire Immortal Lord intentionally cultivated Bai Ze, and Jiuzhou still has Bai Ze. So, I can understand that the Netherfire Immortal Lord has been hiding the truth to protect Bai Ze.”

“As for the Honghu Emissary, you could say the Netherfire Immortal Lord killed him to shirk responsibility. If anyone investigates the Jiuzhou veins, he’ll say it was the Honghu Emissary who did it.”

“That makes sense.”

A cold glint flashed in Luwu Immortal Lord’s eyes. He knew, of course, that the Netherfire Immortal Lord didn’t know about this, and that he didn’t kill the Honghu Emissary.

But did it matter? He would only report the truth he wanted to the Immortal Emperor.

“But why is the Eight Desolations silent, and Jiuzhou destroyed the Eight Desolations? That doesn’t make sense.”

At this moment, a towering phantom appeared before Luwu Immortal Lord.

“Your Majesty,” Luwu Immortal Lord knelt, listening to the divine instruction.

Even if it was only the Immortal Emperor’s phantom, and even if it couldn’t transmit what it saw back to the Immortal Emperor, Luwu Immortal Lord still showed respect.

“Come to the Golden Palace of Clouds and play chess with me.”

“Yes.”

The Immortal Emperor’s order was of paramount importance and could not be neglected. Immortal Lord Luwu immediately took off and flew to the Golden Palace.

The matter of the Nine Provinces concerned a political enemy, so he also needed to investigate thoroughly without delay.

“Yingzhao, Xiangliu, and Wuhan, the three of you will go to the Nine Provinces to investigate the earth veins. Tell me immediately if you have any information!”

“Remember, this must be done in secrecy. No one else must know, especially Immortal Lord Netherfire!” En

route, he used the Immortal Voice Transmission technique to command his three trusted subordinates.

“Yes,”

the three celestial beings simultaneously received the order from their superior.

With everything clearly explained, Immortal Lord Luwu stood respectfully in the Golden Palace, awaiting the

Immortal Emperor’s summons. “What are you doing standing outside? Given our relationship, why be so reserved? Come in,” the Immortal Emperor said lazily, inwardly pleased with Immortal Lord Luwu’s demeanor.

“Yes.”

Immortal Lord Luwu entered the hall, taking steps of equal distance, a look of deep trepidation.

He knew that if he entered the palace directly, or showed any impatience outside, it would inevitably displease the Immortal Emperor.

While the Immortal Emperor might not show it, he would undoubtedly take note.

He had followed the Immortal Emperor for four hundred thousand years, and he knew the meaning of every subtle expression and gesture.

After his ascension, he entered the Golden Palace of Clouds as a simple attendant. Then, through his wit, obedience, and ability to decipher his will, he was finally promoted and given important positions by the Immortal Emperor. Seeing Lu Wu’s obedience, the Immortal Emperor deliberately allocated resources to enable Lu Wu to become a Golden Immortal, and Lu Wu eventually became the Immortal Lord Lu Wu, wielding immense power in the Heavenly Court.

Now that the Daoist Patriarch, who had disobeyed the Immortal Emperor’s orders, was dead, and the Buddha and the Confucian Sage were locked in battle in Daluo Heaven, they had no time to manage their disciples. All of the Daoist Patriarchs, Buddha, and Confucian Sages came under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, obeying the Immortal Emperor’s orders. The Heavenly Court reached its peak of power, and so did Lu Wu.

He, Lu Wu, had offended countless immortals to get to where he was today, and it was truly hard-earned. He absolutely could not let the Immortal Lord of Hellfire snatch it away! Only

by squeezing out opponents, plotting against them, and eliminating them could he gain opportunities for development. This was the truth he had realized in the Eight Desolations.
