Chapter 1339: 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King

The 100 million immortal lords were waiting eagerly for the Great Void Immortal Path to open.

The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor's words had actually spoken of the Jade Emperor, who presided over the 8,000 levels of heaven. This caused quite the stir.

Wu Yu was similarly fascinated. He recalled that the fight for Marks of an Immortal King were completely overseen by the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor. The Jade Emperor was too high above and would definitely not be involved with the Sublime Gracious Sky.

And this news had not been announced before today.

Therefore, Wu Yu looked out to see surprise on the faces of the immortal lords, which soon turned to awe.

Looking up, even the various immortal emperors looked taken aback. The Ruling Sky Manifesting Sage Great Emperor said, "The Jade Emperor is actually taking a hand in the trifling matter of the Marks of an Immortal King?"

The other immortals also started to mutter in confusion about this.

Wu Yu noticed that the Dhrtarastra and the Primeval Mighty Miracle God did not say anything. After all, the Dhrtarastra was the Jade Emperor's door guard, so he might have already heard the news. That was probably why he had brought his daughter, Mo Yuji, to the Sublime Gracious Sky personally.

Ordinarily, people of importance like the Dhrtarastra would not come to the fight for the Marks of an Immortal King.

Everyone was currently listening hard to the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor's announcement. What was so special about the Jade Emperor's interest in this fight for Marks of an Immortal King?

The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor did not keep them in suspense, but said directly, "There are nine grades of Marks of an Immortal King, which are great void immortal treasures. Those with 1 billion spirit designs are known as first-grade Marks of an Immortal King, while those that reach 2 billion spirit designs are known as second-grade Marks of an Immortal King. Those with 9 billion spirit designs are known as ninth-grade Marks of an Immortal King, and considered the best. However, this time around, the Jade Emperor has made, in his idle moments, a Mark of an Immortal King that has 10 billion spirit designs. This is unique, and classified as a 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King. The Jade Emperor says that the one who receives the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King will definitely reach immortal emperor level in the future. As for the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King, it is currently somewhere in the Endless River of Stars. Whether you can win it will depend on all of you."

This was a 10 billion-level great void immortal treasure.

When the spirit designs numbered 10 billion, it was no longer a Mark of an Immortal King, but a weapon that the immortal emperors used, passed through the ages, or even had a connection to the heavens themselves. They were called epochal immortal treasures.

This showed how incredible a 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King was.

Everyone assumed that ninth grade was the highest, but the Jade Emperor had casually made this 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King and then tossed it out into the world so that all the immortal lords present would have a chance to win it.

The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor had already explained the impressiveness of a 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King.

It was simple. Win it, and there were no doubts about your rise to immortal emperor.

No doubt about eternal life!

Throughout history, there had been countless immortal kings. How many of them had become immortal emperors?

In the last 10 yuan, more than 1 million years, there had not even been a single new immortal emperor, not even one newcomer to the folds of eternal life! The path to eternal life was not that easy a road. All who were immortal emperors were valued officials in the sky palaces, and had official appointments. This number seemed to never increase.

And to guarantee one's rise to immortal emperor was equivalent to a guarantee of eternal life!

Who would not lose their mind over this?

Wu Yu's heart was racing.

Xu Zidong inhaled sharply. "If the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor had not announced this news today, but instead a century ago, then there would be 10 times the number of competitors. And the likes of us would be unable to even get Marks of an Immortal King."

Such was the attractiveness of a 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King.

This news would probably shake the 8,000 Sky Palaces themselves.

The chance to become an eternal immortal emperor, to bring glory to one's ancestors - the chance was somewhere in the Endless River of Stars.

Wu Yu could see that many of the immortal lords were fighting for control over their rising restlessness. They could not curb the excitement boiling within, and their hunger shone through their eyes. It was as though the flames of passion within their breasts flared anew with a wildness.

There were not many who could remain calm when news of the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King was revealed. Wu Yu looked up and saw that many of the children of those immortal emperors were also seized with a frenzy at the opportunity to reach where their ancestors did.

Even Mo Yuji looked aghast, blown away by the new information. Her face also lit up fiercely.

A strong fire burned in the chests of all 100 million immortal lords.

The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor threw some cold water on their passion. "Don't get too excited, all of you. It is a high reach indeed, the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King. Given your strength, a precious few of you stand a chance, and I have set a very difficult trial, in light of my bet with the Jade Emperor that no one will get the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King within 50,000 years. You all are just the first batch."

In 50,000 years, there would be 10 batches of the Great Void Immortal Path. This meant that the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King was not meant to be acquired the first time, so that those in the future would also have a chance. It did not mean that the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King belonged to one of these 100 million immortal lords.

"There are 50,000 Marks of an Immortal King in the Endless River of Stars. Which means that one out of 2,000 or 3,000 of you will get a Mark of an Immortal King. For most of you immortal lords, it’s best to stay honest. That's all I have to say. Think about the rest yourselves."

The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor meant that while the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King was a huge attraction, it had nothing to do with most people. If one aimed too high, one might even lose the most basic prize. The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor was sure that no one would get it within 50,000 years. This meant he was confident in the trial that he had set, and had even declared this before the Jade Emperor.

Therefore, it would be the next contest for Marks of an Immortal King that would really explode in popularity.

"That's right. Let's be prudent about this. We should be super grateful if we can just get a Mark of an Immortal King," Xu Zidong said to them.

Of 100 million immortal lords, only one out of 2,000 or 3,000 would get a Mark of an Immortal King. Those were fairly meager odds. In such a situation, it was best to know one's limits.

Wu Yu also understood that this 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King probably did not have much to do with him.

He only needed a Mark of an Immortal King. No matter what grade it was, he would have accomplished his goal.

Before they entered the Sublime Gracious Divine Region, he had already sent an Immortal Message Talisman to Luo Pin, telling her that he had already entered the 100-year fight and that she should not worry.

Wu Yu stored Luo Pin's reply carefully. In the century on the Great Void Immortal Path, he could take it out to reminisce over.

"It is very difficult to get a Mark of an Immortal King on this Great Void Immortal Path, and even harder to hold on to it for 100 years. We have to remain low-profile. Most of the time, protecting our lives is the first priority. Got it, everyone? Don't be greedy for what doesn't belong to us." Xu Zidong again warned them before the Great Void Immortal Path opened.

"Got it, Boss. We're also just going in to learn."

"Good."

As the anxious anticipation rose, the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor announced that the door to the Great Void Immortal Path would soon open.

However, it was not him who would open the door, but Marshal Tian You beside him. Marshal Tian You reached forth a hand, and a ripple suddenly appeared in a corner of the sky in the Sublime Gracious Divine Region. With that ripple at the center, starlight suddenly streamed forth, and a vortex of starlight formed. It continued to grow before all of them.

This was the door to the Great Void Immortal Path. Entering it was like no other place. At this time, they would not have any Escape Immortal Designs with them. They would have to wait 100 years until the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor personally escorted them out. Within this time, their fate was in their own hands.

In the fight for Immortal King Tokens, up to 100 million might die, let alone in the contest for Marks of an Immortal King. The killing was appalling within each Great Void Immortal Path, and not many of the 100 million immortal lords would return safely.

The sky palaces were not principally opposed to such competitions, because it would weed the weak from the strong.

"Go on in."

After the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor called out, the 100 million immortal lords fought and clawed to get in first. They rushed into the stellar vortex, those nearest entering first.

Of course, they would have 100 years to slowly fight over it. Entering first or later did not really mean much. In the end, strength would tell. Therefore, although there was some pushing and shoving, there was some semblance of order.

In fact, those who were more powerful and confident were unhurried. Conversely, it was the insecure ones who wished to rush in at the very first moment, dying to start the contest.

"Let's go. Stick close and don't get separated," Xu Zidong said.

After all, there were 100 million immortal lords pushing forward, and the sheer scale of the crowd made it easy for them to lose each other. They were not particularly strong, and considered in the weak tier. Therefore, they did not dare to split up.

As they looked up, tens of thousands of immortal lords were vanishing into the stellar vortex at each moment. In less than an hour, all 100 million immortal lords had entered.

"Marshal Tian You, how do you see this cohort of immortal lords?" the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor asked.

Marshal Tian You said, "Seems better than the average batches of before. But not much better. Perhaps the daughter of Dhrtarastra and the Gu Huo Immortal Lord might surprise us. In any case, my Endless Immortal Army has already honed their blades well, and is waiting for them."

Time passed.

Wu Yu was in the midst of the group, which slowly moved forward. Finally, the enormous stellar portal was before their eyes, and the immortal lords started to take flight, entering the Great Void Immortal Path.

"Out of the way!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind them. Wu Yu and the others turned to see a few hundred people wearing phoenix-designed clothing and wreathed in flames. They flew above their heads.

"It's the Eternal Phoenix tribe!"

The Eternal Phoenix tribe were all immortal beasts, and very united. The few hundred of them were basically all 7-realm immortal lords and above, and they were quite the force to be reckoned with. When they moved as one, the scattered immortals like Wu Yu's bunch would have to give way.

Wu Yu's eyes suddenly fell on one person, who was probably the highest ranked, seeing as she was surrounded by everyone. It was the daughter of the Provenance Phoenix Empress.

Littlest daughter.

When he saw her face, Wu Yu's mind was blown, as though he had been struck by thunder.
