Chapter 1222: Chapter 435: The Last Puzzle Piece

“Your majesty, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Hmm? It’s nothing.”

Li Ping’an grinned, “We’ll have a proper chat later. After your restoration, I feel that my sense of respect for you has diminished somewhat. We need to reignite that.”

Feng Qingyang chuckled awkwardly, “You are the ruler, and I am the subject. Just like a father and son, the ruler should respect the subject, but never be reverent.”

“We’ll talk later,” Li Ping’an calmly retracts his gaze, looking at the cloud path stretching thousands of miles ahead.

Soon, layers of palaces will float here.

A complex surge of emotions, encompassing both grand ambition and slight anxiety, rose from within Li Ping’an.

Jade Pool and Ningning Mu walk to his side, gazing forward with him.

Jade Pool says, “Your majesty, it’s best to decide sooner on the rewards for Xuanyuan Huangdi.”

“It’s roughly settled,” Li Ping’an laughed, “What we need to wait for now is the internal reaction of the Human Race. There’s no need to rush, after all, the Heavenly Court hasn’t even started construction yet, right?”

Ningning Mu blinks and whispers, “Earlier Father told me to notify him after visiting these masters. I’ve sent the message just now.”

“Notify him for what?”

Li Ping’an was confused, then he heard a low dragon roar from the east.

The Roc Bird tensed up.

Li Ping’an looked eastward and saw vast white clouds continuously swirling, within which giant dragons flew out, rising from the East Sea and charging up to the heavens above.

Behind the Dragon Clan were large White Jade Pillars.

A loud boom was heard from the north, and hundreds of majestic figures burst forth from the Northern Continent, carrying and rushing upwards with millennia-old Spirit Wood.

The shouts of excitement from the Battle Shamans echoed one after another.

Li Ping’an instinctively glanced westward, where hundreds of rays of sunlight flew out, led by Yin Kui the Great and Cailin the Great, accompanied by hundreds of Heavenly Fury Guards, carrying various treasures towards the heavens.

The heavens above were ablaze with light.

Streams of light flew out from the East Continent, with over thirty sects including the Casting Cloud Sect and Castcloud Hall dispatching tens of thousands of Yuan Immortals, True Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals to the heavens as craftsmen.

Above the Heavenly Ruins, Lady Ba’s shadow appeared, wearing a red dress while gently playing the zither.

From the alliance’s troops breeding grounds, white clouds flew out, and groups of Human Race immortal soldiers gathered clouds and formed ranks, carrying thousands of treasure boxes to the heavens.

This was the Human Race’s tribute, utilizing a considerable amount of the alliance’s treasure vault.

Dragon Shamans unite, Hundred Clans collaborate;

Human Race exerts effort, building the Heavenly Court together.

Amidst this grand scene, Li Ping’an couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “Old Li truly takes formalism to the utmost.”

Jade Pool gently spoke, “Your majesty, I will take Ningning Mu back to Kunlun to prepare.”

Ningning Mu didn’t refute, even showing some shyness.

This made Li Ping’an feel quite helpless.

Despite his previous protection and arranging alliances, in the end, Ningning still became a younger sister, and the Heavenly Court’s harem was still dominated by Jade Pool.

However, Ningning Mu’s voluntary concession had its advantages.

Right this moment, Ningning Mu agreed, “Sister, do you need me to do anything?”

“Everything is prepared on Sister’s side,” Jade Pool proactively held Ningning Mu’s soft hand, “The auntie from the Mu family made you several long skirts, let’s go try them on.”

What a fellow.

Li Ping’an exclaimed inwardly, realizing the situation.

With Ningning calling her sister, the Mu family matriarch directly upgraded to being the aunt of the Queen Mother.

“Alright,” Ningning Mu responded softly, gently nestling against Jade Pool’s side.

Li Ping’an and Ningning Mu exchanged a glance, the latter playfully blinking with a touch of cunning in her eyes.

“You two go ahead,” Li Ping’an shook his head, “I’ll find a place to refresh myself and sober up.”

Jade Pool gently replies, “Then we won’t invite your majesty to come with us.”

“Alright, don’t quarrel.”

Jade Pool gracefully bowed, taking Ningning Mu off the Roc Bird’s back.

Not far away, a Qingluan Bird appeared, carrying the two soon-to-be Heavenly Queens back to Kunlun Mountain.

Li Ping’an casually hooked Feng Qingyang’s neck, laughing, “Come, let’s have a word somewhere else, and go find Brother Xuanyuan for a chat.”

“Uh,” Feng Qingyang hurriedly said, “I need to send my wife home first.”

“Hey,” Li Ping’an waved broadly, “Isn’t your wife already familiar with Brother Xuanyuan’s concubines? Just go together for the visit.”

At this point, whatever Li Ping’an said was the Heavenly Emperor’s command, and Feng Qingyang and his wife dared not refuse.

The Roc Bird changed direction and headed for Xuanyuan Palace.

Before entering Xuanyuan Palace, Li Ping’an glanced back at the heavens, where large swathes of white clouds had formed, using the Cloud Condensation Secret Method to lay the foundations.

In just three to five days, the outer shape of the Thirty-six Halls will be forged.

As for the continued expansion of the Heavenly Court, that would be left to the long passage of time.

Li Ping’an currently has only one thought.

First, hold tightly onto the Heavenly Emperor’s position.

…

Ye Zisang is now riding high on the waves of spring.

Having mixed in the Heavenly Court for decades, his cultivation has soared into the Realm of Heavenly Immortal, five grades higher, a tenfold increase compared to his previous centuries of arduous cultivation.

Yet the gains in cultivation are the least of his rewards.

Within the Heavenly Court now, who doesn’t know he was nearly sworn brothers with the Heavenly Emperor, or that he was one of the first batch of immortal soldiers in the Heavenly Court?

Ye Zisang differs from Gu Qingcheng, Yu Yingshu, and Chen Ting’er who only have ties to the Casting Cloud Sect.

Though they have also become junior commanders in the Heavenly Court, their cultivation mostly reaching upper-grade True Immortals, earning merits similar to Ye Zisang;

But behind Ye Zisang stands his Ye family, his master Wen Rou, and his grandmaster Tianli the Elder.

With such a background, both his prestige and face thickness within the Heavenly Court far surpass Gu Qingcheng and the others.
