No one can say for sure how far the boundless Enlightennt Immortal Tree has extended.
However, there indeed has been a change in the Moon Immortal Palace.
At the center of the Immortal Palace, a green beam shoots up into the sky, where a faintly visible tendril seems to spiral upwards, akin to a path to the heavens.
"The Immortal Tree has erged!"
All Immortal Kings erged from their quarters, gazing longingly at the green beam’s location.
"The selection tournant is about to begin!"
"Don’t rush, we must wait for the Moon Race to summon us. Rushing over carelessly would offend them!"
Thus, all the Immortal Kings stood where they were.
Despite feeling anxious, eager to enter imdiately, they patiently waited.
Brother Cheng felt like laughing, wondering why the whole situation seed so ridiculous?
The Moon Race won’t change unless they’re dealt with.
He had a plan, so instead of being angry, he found the situation amusing.
At this ti, there were altogether 422 Immortal Kings and Demon Kings present!
Such a large group of orderly Immortal Kings was quite a spectacle, wasn’t it?
A full quarter hour later, the Moon Race finally arrived, rather leisurely.
This ti the ’appearance’ was grander, accompanied by an Immortal Venerable and two Golden Immortals.
"Stand properly and proceed in order!"
"Anyone making noise will be harshly punished and imdiately expelled!"
Faced with so many Immortal Kings and Demon Kings, the Moon Race people remained mysteriously confident and overwhelmingly superior.
Many Immortal Kings and Demon Kings had a fleeting hint of murderous intent in their eyes.
How could these people truly be so obedient? Not even an Immortal Emperor could suppress so many people, let alone a re Immortal Venerable.
If not for the chance with the Immortal Tree, who would pretend to be servile?
Brother Cheng was also at the back of the line, joyfully watching everyone advance in unison, finding the scene strangely absurd.
He even discreetly summoned a Transmission Immortal Artifact to record the scene, so he could watch it repeatedly when bored in the future.
After another quarter hour, the procession finally reached the central high platform of the Moon Immortal Palace.
Here lay the Sacrificial Moon Sacred Land, linking to the entrance of the Enlightennt Immortal Tree.
The entire high platform was enveloped in green light, dazzlingly splendid.
Two Moon Race Immortal Kings hovered above the high platform, looking indifferently down at everyone present.
As if they were gods, and everyone else re mortals.
A male and female Moon Race Immortal Venerable flew out from the sides, landing just in front of the two Immortal Kings.
"The entrance selection tournant for the Enlightennt Immortal Tree begins!"
Unlike Brother Cheng’s relaxed mood, everyone else imdiately beca tense.
With 271 spots, those two Moon Race Immortal Kings would surely take two.
The remaining 422 people would vie for 269 spots, leaving 153 people to be rcilessly eliminated.
Many felt anxious; failing to be selected ant waiting another 50 million years for another chance.
And even then, who could guarantee entry next ti?
If they remained unselected each ti, they’d eventually lag far behind other Immortal Kings.
A spot of white light gradually brightened before the two Immortal Venerables, who simultaneously waved, pulling out a long scroll-shaped Magical Treasure from the void.
Before Brother Cheng could understand what this was, the male Immortal Venerable began to read from the scroll.
"Puman, Si He, Xishui..."
He read out sixteen nas in total, each belonging to an Immortal King or Demon King.
"You have protected the vicinity of the Emperor Moon Celestial Realm for the past fifty million years, serving the Moon Race."
"You may enter this ti and next ti as well!"
As soon as he spoke, sixteen Immortal Kings flew out from the crowd, landing at the white jade steps below the high platform.
Each could not hide their excitent, their faces overflowing with joy, as if they’d won a lottery.
Not only were they selected, but they would also be automatically selected for the next 50-million-year term.
The rest below sighed in envy and regret.
If only they had stayed near the Moon Race selling favors for the last fifty million years!
"Di Gu, Yun Zhen, Fu Xuan..."
"You seven have been kind to my Moon Race people over the past fifty million years."
"You may enter this ti and next ti as well."
Seven more Immortal Kings flew to the steps, under the blazing gaze of everyone else.
Brother Cheng privately mocked that the scene resembled elentary school students going on stage to receive certificates.
Also, wasn’t it said that the Moon Race had no Seven Emotions?
Yet they cared about whether their people were treated well?
"Miao Yu, Du Chen, Ye Yang..."
All thirteen from the Celestial Pavilion were nad, but their expressions were rather calm, as if they never worried about not going in from the start.
"For fifty million years, the Celestial Pavilion has upheld its neutral principles, setting an example in the Middle Immortal Realm!"
"You thirteen may enter this ti and next ti as well!"
The surrounding people cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances again, even including Brother Cheng among their scrutiny.
With each ascent, the chances for those below grew slimr.
At this mont, many Immortal Kings felt as if their hearts were being scratched anxiously, eager to hear their na next.
However, after the Celestial Pavilion people ascended the steps, the male Immortal Venerable closed his mouth.
Then, the female Immortal Venerable beside him spoke.
"Rewards are complete!"
"Ju Tang, 35 million years ago, our Moon Race people suffered injustice in your Profound Master Celestial Domain, you’re guilty!"
"You may not enter!"
An Immortal King in the crowd turned pale, flew into the air, and repeatedly cried out: "It’s unfair. I knew nothing about it. The Profound Master Celestial Domain isn’t entirely under my Bi Shang Academy!"
With an icy expression, the female Immortal Venerable coldly said: "Flying unauthorized in the Moon Immortal Palace adds to your offenses. Don’t co in fifty million years either!"
The blood drained almost entirely from Ju Tang Immortal King’s face, and he descended as if struck by lightning, grieving, daring not utter another word.
"Ji Lu, your Fuyou Valley refused entry to our Moon Race people, you’re guilty!"
"You may not enter!"
A female demon, with a beautiful face, turned white upon hearing this, wanting to say sothing.
Fuyou Valley is her kin’s core forbidden land, even her own Demon Venerable allows only a few high-ranking mbers in, let alone a foreign race?
Just let them in?
Ultimately, she simply sighed deeply.
As the Moon Race female Immortal Venerable continued naming offenders, one Immortal King after another was struck down.
At this point, people’s mood was entirely opposite to before.
Previously, they envied those nad; now they feared being nad themselves.
Brother Cheng exclaid they’re experts!
Darn, the Moon Race knows how to play, engaging in ’rewarding virtue and punishing vice’ here?
Do they truly fancy themselves the Middle Immortal Realm’s arbitration committee?
But isn’t their reward and punishnt system a bit too arbitrary?
There’s no standard of good or evil.
If you’re favored, you enter; if not liked, you’re penalized, unrelated to these people’s usual actions, good or bad, loyal or treacherous.
While he internally criticized, the female Immortal Venerable nad others.
"Xiao Kun, Shali, Hua Yin, Jiyun, Wu Jue, Mingchi..."
"You twelve spoke disrespectfully within the Moon Immortal Palace, you’re guilty!"
"You may not enter!"
Well, the brothers were all gloriously nad.
Looks like there really was ’surveillance’ inside the Moon Immortal Palace; everything said in Brother Cheng’s room was fully heard by them.
Because of that conversation, they were all taken out.
Watching everyone around cast glances in unison, Brother Cheng inexplicably envied those brothers, finding their situation rather prominent.
