Chapter 435 The Supreme Being of the Heavenly Court
Chapter 435 Heavenly Court Supreme
Lin Fei had a vague premonition that things were probably not as simple as the Nine Heavens Emperor had said. The Nine Heavens Emperor must have many things he hadn't told him.
If I were to accept the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Emperor, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, I would likely encounter many unexpected events when the great calamity of heaven and earth is approaching and the ancient gods are about to return.
How noble is the status of this Heavenly Emperor? Even if the true form of the Nine Heavens Emperor were trapped somewhere for some reason and unable to escape, there would be absolutely no reason for him to relinquish it. There must be more hidden reasons behind this. An ancient supreme being like the Nine Heavens Emperor would never do anything meaningless. Every step he takes is carefully considered and far-sighted.
Of course, the Nine Heavens Emperor didn't tell Lin Fei the hidden story, and Lin Fei had no way of knowing or even guessing it.
The benefits of accepting the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Emperor for Lin Fei are also quite obvious. The identity of the Lord of the Heavenly Court alone is enough to make countless powerful figures fight tooth and nail for it, not to mention the Investiture of the Gods in the hands of the Nine Heavens Emperor, which is a treasure far surpassing the Ten Ancient Divine Weapons.
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! If you're not even willing to take this small risk, how can you expect to achieve anything great?" Lin Fei thought carefully, a resolute look appearing in his eyes.
Indeed, accepting the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court, might bring unimaginable dangers and even schemes. But if one is unwilling to take even this small risk, how can one expect to achieve anything great in this time of impending catastrophe?
If Lin Fei were merely someone content with the status quo and only seeking to survive, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Essentially, Lin Fei is a gambler willing to take risks. Not to mention, Lin Fei has ample confidence in his abilities. He believes that even if he encounters a crisis, he will be able to handle it.
Therefore, Lin Fei only pondered for a moment before nodding and replying, "This junior is willing to accept the Emperor's inheritance!"
"Very well!" A profound and unfathomable smile appeared on the face of the Nine Heavens Emperor: "Since you have such ambition, I will pass on the Investiture of the Gods to you today!"
The Investiture of the Gods is the foundation upon which the ancient Heavenly Court was founded. With this Investiture of the Gods, one can control the 365 righteous gods of the heavens and become the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court. When the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens passed the Investiture of the Gods to Lin Fei, it also meant that he was passing on his status as the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court to Lin Fei.
However, there isn't a single word on the Investiture of the Gods right now, and Lin Fei doesn't know what purpose the Investiture of the Gods serves.
The Nine Heavens Emperor waved his hand, tossing the Investiture of the Gods into the air. The Investiture of the Gods shone with golden light and slowly floated up in mid-air.
At the same time, the Nine Heavens Emperor said to Lin Fei, "Take a wisp of your original divine soul and inject it into this Investiture of the Gods!"
Upon hearing the order from the Nine Heavens Emperor, Lin Fei did not hesitate at all. He immediately extracted a wisp of his original divine soul and injected it into the Investiture of the Gods floating before him.
This primordial divine soul is of paramount importance to cultivators. If it falls into the hands of others, one will be subject to their control in every way. Even a wisp of primordial divine soul, if obtained by someone else, will force one to obey their commands.
Even a wisp of one's original divine soul, if destroyed, will result in a significant drop in cultivation level, even if the person does not die.
In the past, Lin Fei would never have done something so dangerous. But now, he had no time to think about it.
To receive the inheritance of the Heavenly Court's supreme ruler is an opportunity that one might only encounter once in a lifetime. If Lin Fei shows the slightest hesitation and incurs the displeasure of the Nine Heavens Emperor, he might lose this rare opportunity.
……
As Lin Fei's original divine soul gradually flowed into the Investiture of the Gods, the golden light emanating from the Investiture of the Gods gradually became more dazzling.
On the Investiture of the Gods, which originally had no words on it, a line of text slowly appeared.
That line of text was located at the very top of the Investiture of the Gods, written in a position representing the highest authority. It read: The Supreme God of Heaven, the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens: Li Longyuan.
A divine position is a recognition of a cultivator's identity by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It is also a symbol of status.
Unlike Buddhist relics, divine positions are not created by a single cultivator, but are born from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Even after fusion, a divine position does not disappear, but continues to accumulate power and be passed down from generation to generation.
The title "Nine Heavens Great Emperor" is not merely a title for the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court, but also a type of divine position.
Within the Zhou Tian, there are a total of 365 positions of righteous gods, and the head of these 365 righteous gods is the Supreme Being of the Heavenly Court, representing the supreme and unparalleled position of the Nine Heavens Emperor.
Before Lin Fei now stands the previous Nine Heavens Emperor. After Lin Fei inherits his divine position, he himself becomes the new Nine Heavens Emperor, the Supreme Ruler of the Heavenly Court.
The Nine Heavens Emperor before him slowly said to Lin Fei, "The Nine Heavens Emperor's divine position is different from that of other Zhou Tian Zheng Shen gods. He does not have a separate divine position inheritance. This Investiture of the Gods can be regarded as the divine position inheritance of the Nine Heavens Emperor!"
As they spoke, Lin Fei's name was already written on the Investiture of the Gods, and Lin Fei himself had become the new Emperor of the Nine Heavens, the Supreme Being of the Heavenly Court.
At the same time, Lin Fei vaguely sensed that his body was undergoing some kind of strange change. This strange change was inexplicable and indescribable; even Lin Fei himself could not give a specific explanation of the changes taking place in his body.
However, his cultivation level did not improve at all; he remained at the third level of the Dharma Aspect realm. He did not advance to the Celestial Realm despite receiving the divine inheritance from the Heavenly Court's supreme ruler.
This also made Lin Fei a little puzzled. You know, the so-called divine succession is to inject the energy contained in the divine position into the body of the new divine position master.
As for just how powerful the divine inheritance of the Nine Heavens Emperor is, there's no need to elaborate.
Even Lin Fei's Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers, after receiving the divine inheritance of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, all broke through in cultivation and reached the Celestial Realm. Among them, the Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers who received the divine inheritance of the Greedy Wolf Star Lord, the head of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, are now close to the Earth Immortal level, and can even contend with the Heavenly Dao Ghost General Yuan Tiangang.
Even the divine position of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper has such power, let alone the divine position of the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens, which is many times greater than the divine position of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.
However, after receiving the divine throne inheritance of the Nine Heavens Emperor, Lin Fei felt that apart from the inexplicable changes in his body, his cultivation level did not improve in the slightest. This filled Lin Fei with doubt.
