Immortality Starts With Investment

"Helper?"

Upon hearing this, the powerhouses of the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan were all somewhat stunned. In the eyes of the current cultivation world, the only ones still qualified to be opponents of the Heavenly Emperor's heir were one and a half.

One was the Eight-Crowned King. After all, he had once fought a true immortal. Although the outcome had never been clearly stated, holding a World Tree sapling with eight wisps of immortal qi made his combat strength unimaginable. In the eyes of the world, he was still someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Emperor's heir.

Next was their own Celestial Prince. He could rank in the top three in this realm. However, unlike the previous anticipation for the Celestial Prince's emergence, the outside world no longer mentioned the Celestial Prince much these days. Mainly because they believed that even if the Celestial Prince emerged, he would most likely not be a match and would only be sending himself to his death.

Of course, the powerhouses of the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan would never say that. If the Celestial Prince became angry, he might not be able to defeat the Heavenly Emperor's heir, but suppressing them was still no problem.

So the clan elder spoke cautiously, "Is it the Eight-Crowned King? Is he willing to join hands with you, Celestial Prince? Is the Phoenix Fire Divine Seed useful against the World Tree sapling?"

Ever since the Heavenly Emperor's heir had shaken the Exiled Immortal to death and blocked an immortal artifact bare-handed, the outside world had been guessing whether the Eight-Crowned King would feel threatened and strike early to nip the Heavenly Emperor's heir in the bud.

What was both unexpected and reasonable was that the Eight-Crowned King had remained deep in the Ninth Realm without making the slightest move. His attitude was obvious. This pride left people amazed. Therefore, the clan elder was also doubtful.

The Celestial Prince shook his head. When he thought of the Eight-Crowned King, his expression darkened for a moment. He had indeed wanted to pull the Eight-Crowned King in earlier.

But when he had performed divination with the Armament Secret just now, the Eight-Crowned King had been obscured by a strange aura, making him impossible to calculate. Yet he had faintly sensed that if he sought out the Eight-Crowned King, he would not even be able to meet him. Clearly, the Eight-Crowned King could not be bothered to see him.

Being looked down upon like this made the Celestial Prince furious. It was nothing more than relying on the World Tree sapling, yet he dared to be so arrogant. Truly presumptuous and foolish. With such a great enemy as the Heavenly Emperor's heir, instead of striking early to eliminate him, he only knew how to wait.

Arrogant and blind. In the future, he would teach the Eight-Crowned King a lesson.

Although he could not find the Eight-Crowned King, he had still deduced another aura. It was a Holy Spirit currently in gestation.

The Holy Spirit was also terrifying. In any era, as long as it was not disturbed, it would be unrivaled the moment it emerged. And the Holy Spirit in the Ninth Realm was especially terrifying—even he felt a chill in his heart.

Vaguely, there was the aura of an immortal root. He just did not know which of the twelve immortal roots it was!

White Tiger Undying Herb? Fusang Divine Tree?

Using the Phoenix Fire Divine Seed to help this person emerge early and join him in attacking the Heavenly Emperor's heir. Two top peak Quasi-Immortals joining hands. The existences closest to becoming immortals in the world. No matter how strong the Heavenly Emperor's heir was, he would have to drink his own blood in defeat this time.

The Celestial Prince spoke calmly, causing another uproar among everyone present. There was actually a Holy Spirit about to emerge hidden in the Ninth Realm of the Immortal Path. And it was gestated by an immortal root.

This was too terrifying. The strength of the Holy Spirit had a great deal to do with the materials used to gestate it. The rare Holy Spirits gestated by two or three types of immortal metal were all unrivaled existences of their era. And the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade Holy Spirit that the Heavenly Emperor's heir had obtained was exactly like that.

A Holy Spirit gestated by an immortal root had never been recorded in history. Once it emerged, it would undoubtedly stand at the peak of this realm.

Thinking of this, everyone was amazed. In this final era of the Immortal Path, there really were too many monsters. A top Holy Spirit, the World Tree, an old ancestor sealed for a million years, and the supreme prodigies of this generation. Meeting these existences in the same era was both fortune and despair.

The clan elders still hesitated. "If we help that Holy Spirit emerge early and achieve perfection, and it really does suppress and kill the Heavenly Emperor's heir, what then? He will also compete for the immortal path. Wouldn't that just add another great enemy?"

However, the Celestial Prince shook his head. "Besides the Heavenly Emperor's heir, there is still the Eight-Crowned King. Although the Holy Spirit is terrifying, in this era it will be very difficult for a Holy Spirit to be unrivaled. Only by joining hands with me is his optimal solution.

"The two of us can swear a Heavenly Dao oath. No matter who becomes an immortal in this generation, they must bring the other into the Immortal Realm. With that, all problems will be solved."

The clansmen of the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan fell silent. Although they felt that what the Celestial Prince said was correct, they could also sense that their own Celestial Prince was truly wary of both the Heavenly Emperor's heir and the Eight-Crowned King. He had already developed fear in his heart. This left them somewhat disappointed deep down.

However, the Celestial Prince was both the strongest expert and the oldest ancestor of the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan. Now that he had made the decision, none of them could defy it.

Thus, the Phoenix Fire Divine Seed soon appeared in the Celestial Prince's hand. The Celestial Prince raised one hand, allowing the Phoenix Fire Divine Seed to burn atop his palm.

The Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan cultivators watched with reluctance in their hearts. This item carried boundless origin power of the Heavenly Phoenix. It was condensed from the divine flames within the bodies of generation after generation of Undying Heavenly Phoenixes who had perished.

To the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan, this item could improve the aptitude of their clansmen and held enormous significance. To the gestating Holy Spirit, it was also a supreme treasure.

However, the Immortal Path would never open again after this. If it could help the Celestial Prince sweep away all great enemies, then any price would be worth it.

"Let's go! Follow me to the Central Continent…"

The Celestial Prince clenched his large hand, gripping the Phoenix Fire Divine Seed in his palm, and gracefully boarded the flying ship.

The clan elders naturally followed. But in their hearts, they all felt some worry. After all, the Heavenly Emperor's heir had never suffered a single defeat to this day.

Moreover, he was currently breaking through to the Great Emperor realm. Even if the Celestial Prince joined hands with that mysterious Holy Spirit, could they really suppress the Heavenly Emperor's heir?

Everyone's hearts were filled with doubt!

…

One month later.

The flying ship of the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan arrived in the Central Continent and reached Immortal City.

When the Celestial Prince stepped out from the ship, the terrifying aura emanating from his body pressed down so heavily that countless cultivators present revealed expressions of terror. Even the old antiques at the Quasi-Immortal realm all showed fear in their eyes.

They could clearly sense that although everyone was in the same realm, the gap in combat strength was enormous. They were not existences on the same level at all. And when they clearly saw this person's appearance, another uproar erupted on the scene.

Snow-white hair cascaded like a waterfall. His bearing was noble to the extreme. Looking across the entire cultivation world, only the son of the Undying Celestial Emperor could possess such an aura.

Moreover, when the Celestial Prince's incarnation had descended before, everyone had seen it. Apart from the aura, his appearance was identical to the person before them now.

Looking at the three Quasi-Immortal realm Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan elders flying out behind him, this person's identity was self-evident.

This was the Celestial Prince. And it was his true body. The Celestial Prince's true body had emerged without a sound.

This was truly beyond everyone's expectations. Gestating for a million years—this was absolutely unprecedented in the cultivation world. And the Celestial Prince's combat strength would undoubtedly be at the very top of this realm.

But…Why had the Celestial Prince come to Immortal City instead of heading to the Great Yan Continent after emerging? Could it be that the Celestial Prince intended to fight the Eight-Crowned King first, then go to the Great Yan Continent afterward?
