Chapter 787: Call to Assemble at the Immortal Sovereigns’ Treasury

He Yuan was speechless. For a moment earlier, he had indeed felt an uncontrollable greed, but under Su Che’s successive questions, he regained his clarity.
“Yes, this opportunity must have been arranged by several Immortal Sovereigns working together. As an Immortal Emperor of the Fifth Heaven, if I try to seize it all for myself, the only outcome will be a tragic death due to greed.”
“The Immortal Sovereigns must be watching. We must stay clear-headed!”
Thus, He Yuan bowed to Su Che and said, “Brother Su Che, since you are the arbiter of this opportunity, I, He Yuan, will be the first to sign up. From this moment on, I will take on the responsibility of protecting you. Anyone who harbors ill intentions toward you will be my mortal enemy! I also hope…”
Before he could finish, Su Che nodded and said, “Since you’re the first to sign up, fine. I’ll pay special attention to you. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you, Brother Su Che!”
It was rare to see an Immortal Emperor of the Fifth Heaven bowing in gratitude to a Xuanxian.
Su Che’s gaze fell on Meng Yu and he asked calmly, “What about you? What are your plans?”
Disheartened, Meng Yu asked with a bitter smile, “Do I still have a chance?”
He thought that after treating Su Che in such a way and pursuing him all the way, he would no longer have any chance. Moreover, if Su Che was truly close to the Evil Emperor, he would surely face punishment from the Immortal Sovereigns as well.
To his surprise, Su Che said, “With a desire that has persisted for tens of millions of years, your actions are understandable. I can overlook those past incidents.”
“Thank you.”
Meng Yu bowed and said, “Then I’ll be the second to sign up.”
So, Su Che and the others settled on this plain and carved the four characters “Immortal Sovereigns’ Treasury” into the ground. Each character was five li long and wide, clearly visible from the sky thousands of li high.
As for how many Immortal Emperors would find this place within ten years, it was unknown. For now, Su Che didn’t realize that his call, amplified by the Holy Mother Immortal Sovereign, had reached at least five thousand Immortal Emperors in the Cloud Immortal Realm.
However, the Earth Immortal Realm was extremely vast, and whether those Immortal Emperors could find this place depended on fate.

At first, some lower-ranked immortals in the vicinity were the first to discover this place, but they were all driven away by He Yuan and Meng Yu. After all, Su Che had said that this was an opportunity reserved for the great Immortal Emperors, and even the Great Luo Golden Immortals were not eligible to participate. So why would those Golden Immortals and Mysterious Immortals come to join in the fuss? The driven-away Golden Immortals and Mysterious Immortals, whether out of greed or curiosity, at least 60% of them were reluctant to leave and remained in the area thousands of miles away. The remaining 40% spread the news throughout the world, causing more and more people to gather in this plain. Su Che estimated that another major event that would shake the entire immortal realm, following the Immortal-Demon War seventy million years ago, would gradually unfold under his direction. Lao He finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “Master, I’ve thought about it for a long time but still can’t figure it out. If really 1,800 Immortal Emperors come to sign up, we have no idea where the Immortal Sovereign’s Treasury is. How will you explain this to them? The only person who knew was Jin Hao, and he’s dead—nothing left of him… He also mentioned that to enter the Immortal Sovereign’s Treasury, one must possess a token, and there’s only one such token, which is also gone. What should we do?” “Who said there’s only one person who knows?” Su Che replied calmly, “Those Immortal Sovereigns also know, right? The Immortal Sovereign’s Treasury was originally arranged by them to be given to me.” “You plan to ask them?” Lao He asked. “No need to ask,” Su Che replied. “The Holy Mother and the Evil Emperor have already come to me to buy anti-demon pills. I guess it won’t be long before the other Immortal Sovereigns also come to buy pills. Then, I’ll just ask them to tell me about the Immortal Sovereign’s Treasury as payment.” Lao He reminded him, “But you also need to be prepared. What if they refuse to tell you and insist on treating this as a test?” “That’s fine too,” Su Che said calmly. “The Immortal-Demon Battlefield and the Immortal Sovereign’s Treasury are one and the same. It’s very likely that the secrets of the Immortal Sovereign’s Treasury can be uncovered through the Immortal-Demon Battlefield. It’s just that we didn’t know these things before, and there must be some details within the battlefield that we’ve overlooked.” “I see,” Lao He finally understood Su Che’s overall plan. The interior space of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was as large as more than a dozen Feng Lin territories. With such a vast space, Su Che indeed didn’t have enough time to figure out all its details, so it was entirely possible that some important aspects had been missed. That afternoon, the first Immortal Emperor from afar arrived— a female Immortal Emperor.

He Yuan recognized her and sent a message to Su Che to introduce her: “She is the Immortal Emperor ‘Zi Ling,’ at the sixth heaven realm.” Su Che indeed saw that her hairpin was a purple feather, which was quite beautiful. The Immortal Emperor Zi Ling descended directly in front of the three of them. First, she greeted He Yuan and Meng Yu, then her gaze fell on Su Che, and she said in a clear voice, “Is it this young man who issued the call for the Immortal Lord’s Treasure Trove? I wonder if I’m guessing correctly?” “That’s right.” Su Che asked calmly, “Did the Immortal Emperor Zi Ling hear about this from around here?” “I heard it in the Cloud Immortal Realm,” Zi Ling replied. “Your voice echoed throughout the entire Cloud Immortal Realm; probably everyone could hear it. Clearly, it must be some Immortal Lord who helped spread the news.” “I see…” Su Che nodded, not surprised at all. He could even guess that it must be either the Evil Emperor or the Holy Mother. Such actions meant they were paying attention to this matter, which made things easier. The Immortal Emperor Zi Ling asked gently, “So, what should I do next?” “First, express whether you’re willing to participate in this competition for opportunities, that is, formally register with me.” As he spoke, Su Che casually waved his hand, and a blank scroll-like list appeared. The top two spots on the list were already occupied by two blood-red names: He Yuan and Meng Yu. The Immortal Emperor Zi Ling immediately understood Su Che’s intention. After a brief hesitation, she forced out a drop of true blood from her fingertip and precisely shot it at the third spot on the list, where the name ‘Zi Ling’ appeared. Since it was confirmed that some Immortal Lord was behind this, Su Che’s call could have echoed throughout the Cloud Immortal Realm. Only an Immortal Lord had such power. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor Zi Ling could be sure that the emergence of the Immortal Lord’s Treasure Trove was real, not just a prank. “We have to wait here for ten years. This is just the first day. Please be patient, Immortal Emperor Zi Ling,” Su Che said politely. “Of course,” Zi Ling replied with a slight bow to Su Che. “Thank you, the referee, for giving me this opportunity.” Having just received a message from He Yuan, the Immortal Emperor Zi Ling already knew that Su Che had a close relationship with the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord and was also the referee for this gathering, indicating his extremely high status. Su Che calmly accepted the bow from this sixth heaven realm immortal emperor and said to them, “The top ten registrants will also, to some extent, show a deeper connection to the Immortal Lord’s Treasure Trove. I will give them more attention. At the same time, I hope you can help me maintain order during this gathering.”

“We understand.” Zi Ling and the other two replied in unison, secretly rejoicing. In this way, they held a clear advantage over the later Immortal Emperors. That day, only Zi Ling, one of the Immortal Emperors, found this place—indeed, the Earthly Immortal Realm was so vast that even with the fastest flying speed, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack to discover this plain. Not everyone had Zi Ling’s luck; upon landing from the Cloudy Immortal Realm, they happened to see the four characters “Immortal Venerable Treasury” piled up like mountains on the plain. The next day, two more Immortal Emperors arrived—one at the Second Heaven level and the other at the Fourth Heaven level. After some conversation, they were undoubtedly overjoyed to be among the top ten chosen ones and solemnly promised Su Che that they would do their utmost to maintain order at this gathering, ensuring no one tried to cause trouble. On the third day, only one Immortal Emperor came. On the fourth day, none at all. On the fifth day, four Immortal Emperors arrived one after another. On the sixth day… In less than a month, a total of 76 Immortal Emperors signed their names on the registration list, with thousands more lower-ranked immortals gathering here from afar. That day, Su Che summoned the top ten registered Immortal Emperors before him and pointed to the temporarily built hall behind them, saying, “For the next period, I plan to take a break. I’ll leave the registration list in your hands to have the Immortal Emperors sign it one by one. I’ll check in every ten days or so.” Among the top ten Immortal Emperors, the most powerful, the Eighth Heaven-level Immortal Emperor “Guang Zhong,” nodded and said, “Judge, rest assured. Leave it to us, and nothing will go wrong.” Su Che nodded lightly, said no more, and turned to enter the hall surrounded by layers of protective barriers. It was the only man-made structure within a radius of thousands of miles on the plain. By handing over the registration list to them, Su Che was still confident—they all knew that several great Immortal Venerables were watching over this matter, and anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t dare play any clever but foolish tricks. After entering the hall, Su Che wasn’t really trying to slack off; instead, he immediately activated a teleportation portal to head to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield to look for clues. At the core of the Sealing Demon Heaven Array, Su Che used over a dozen monitoring mirrors to carefully inspect every part of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, never missing any place of special significance.

Whenever Su Che noticed something suspicious, he would go there in his phantom form to investigate thoroughly. More than three years passed in this way, and the number of names on the registration list for the title of Immortal Emperor had reached over six hundred, yet Su Che still hadn’t found any useful clues.
On the plain, the 659 registered Immortal Emperors each sat cross-legged on their immortal artifacts, hovering about three feet above the ground, motionless.
Every ten-odd days, whenever Su Che stepped out of the hall, all the Immortal Emperors would rise and pay their respects, with great deference.
This was because this seemingly weak Xuanxian was the organizer and referee of this opportunity related to the Immortal Lord’s treasure trove. Any decision he made could have a profound impact on the future of all the Immortal Emperors present.
It had nothing to do with personal strength, but rather with his sufficient status and power.
