The ancient heaven was founded by ten great celestial masters, but after the ancient war, the ten great celestial masters either fell or disappeared, and only four great celestial masters remained.
Now even the Four Heavenly Lords are not in charge of the matter. No one has seen the Four Heavenly Lords show up in who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
Below the Four Heavenly Lords, there are ten Immortal Emperors who hold great power in Heaven. However, they are also in seclusion all year round, striving to break through and become Heavenly Lords. They only show up in major events that concern the survival of the heavenly realm. Ordinary matters are not enough for them to show up.
The last time the ten immortal emperors appeared was a thousand years ago.
Below those Immortal Emperors who basically don’t care about anything are the Immortal Kings who truly hold some power.
And many Immortal Kings are also the leaders of those powerful factions. Only with an Immortal King in charge can this faction be called a first-class force.
This kind of faction is often composed of multiple sects and families, and follows the leadership of a certain Immortal King.
If there is no Immortal King in charge, but only some Golden Immortals, it can only be regarded as a second-rate faction. After all, although the most powerful among the Golden Immortals are qualified to become the leader of a faction, they are all small factions, and are often just the leaders of their own sects.
As for the Golden Immortals, who have a lower status, they have no ability to establish themselves on their own and can only choose to join certain factions.
The entire heaven is divided into different levels according to this level. Only those at the Golden Immortal level are qualified to be formally invited by certain factions to become official members.
Celestial immortals can only be considered cannon fodder at best, and human immortals are not even cannon fodder, they are basically equivalent to the level of grassroots village chiefs.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Lu Xuan and Yang Ying, although not Golden Immortals yet, have already demonstrated their talents and will most likely become Golden Immortals in the future.
There will also be many people who will be interested in them and invite them to join their factions.
It has been like this since ancient times!
The Taixu Pavilion has been at the bottom of the first-rate forces for many years and is almost about to be eliminated from the list. The fundamental reason for this lies with the founder of the Taixu Pavilion, the Immortal King Taixu.
The Immortal King Taixu disappeared many years ago. The Taixu Pavilion’s external statement was that the Immortal King Taixu accompanied the Four Heavenly Masters to an unknown place and would return one day in the future.
Just saying this, no one believes it!
After all, Immortal King Taixu has disappeared for tens of thousands of years and there has been no news of him.
The deterrent power left by Immortal King Taixu is gradually declining. There are even voices now calling for Taixu Pavilion to be eliminated from the first-rate forces and downgraded to a second-rate one.
Don't underestimate being downgraded. There are huge implications here. The benefits that first-rate forces and second-rate forces can obtain from the Heavenly Court are worlds apart.
If they were downgraded to a second-rate force, all the bigwigs in Taixu Pavilion would be out of business, and the huge faction would fall apart.
After all, everyone joins a faction to seek shelter and obtain resources for cultivation. If these cannot be achieved, the people of this faction will fall apart in an instant.
Factions are not families or sects. Their essential cohesion is far less than that of families and sects, and there is no comparison at all.
Because of this, Kou Yuande was sent to the Heavenly Realm Talent Discussion Ceremony to search for any fish that had slipped through the net.
Because all of those seeded players have distinguished backgrounds, and all of them are as cunning as foxes, so they are naturally very clear about the details of Taixu Pavilion. How could a faction that is on the verge of collapse and may degenerate into a second-rate force at any time possibly attract them
Only those who have slipped through the net, like Lu Xuan, would be willing to join them for various reasons.
Lu Xuan's question stumped Kou Yuande, making him very embarrassed. He knew that Lu Xuan in front of him must have a good understanding of the situation in Heaven, and if he wanted to cheat, he would probably fail.
Lu Xuan naturally had some understanding of Taixu Pavilion, but he didn't really care about it. The force he joined in his previous life was a hundred times weaker than Taixu Pavilion. It was not only a second-rate force, but also the last one among the second-rate forces.
After all, Taixu Pavilion still has many Daluo Jinxians in charge, and there was even an existence at the level of Immortal King. It has connections and relationships in all aspects.
And that force was a newly formed force not long ago, and there was only one Daluo Jinxian, which was really tragic.
It’s miserable!
Being able to join Taixu Pavilion already makes you much more powerful than in your previous life.
"Daoyou, those are just rumors. Our Taixu Immortal King is not dead. He just followed the Four Heavenly Lords and will return one day!" Kou Yuande said hurriedly. "Besides, as the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Our Taixu Pavilion is a first-class force after all, so we have everything that other first-class forces have. At the same time, we don't have too many new disciples, so we can train you with all our strength. This is something that other first-class forces can't do!"
Kou Yuande directly used his trump card. Indeed, compared with other forces, Taixu Pavilion lacked an Immortal King who could stabilize the situation.
Even in recent years, it has been difficult to attract top talents to join because of this, but precisely because of this, if Lu Xuan joins, there will not be too many strong competitors.
The resources available there are simply incomparable to other geniuses.
This is a choice between being the head of a chicken and the tail of a phoenix. Of course, being the tail of a phoenix has its advantages, and being the head of a chicken naturally has its advantages as well.
However, for Lu Xuan, it has never been a question of being the head of a chicken or the tail of a phoenix. With his strength, he is heading straight for the first place in the Heavenly Talent Competition.
Even if you are a phoenix, you should be the head of the phoenix, not the tail!
But for Lu Xuan, joining Taixu Pavilion has another benefit, that is because Taixu Pavilion is now leaderless, with only a few Daluo Golden Immortals in charge, but lacks an Immortal King.
Therefore, the power of Taixu Pavilion may be used by him!
Kou Yuande probably would never have imagined that while he was thinking about winning over Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan was thinking about swallowing up Taixu Pavilion in one gulp. With the background of Taixu Pavilion, he could save at least hundreds of years of accumulation.
Although hundreds of years is nothing to other people, it is indeed not too long to immortals. Even to the lowest level of immortals, hundreds of years may not be a particularly long time.
But Lu Xuan was unwilling to wait even hundreds of years and wanted to rise in the shortest possible time.
After all, the Taixu Immortal King’s lineage has been passed down for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and its foundation can greatly shorten the time it takes for Lu Xuan to rise.
