Chapter 1228: Chapter 437: Queen Mother Enters the Tent

Brother Xuanyuan’s merit is truly impressive.

Earlier, Li Ping’an thought that using Brother Xuanyuan’s incense merit accumulated from ancient times to the present would be difficult enough to construct the thirty-six core halls of the Heavenly Court.

However…

Not only did Xuanyuan Huangdi’s incense merit successfully transform the thirty-six halls from imaginary to real, but it also enabled the Heavenly Court to establish the Heavenly Protection Formation, turning the Xuantian Tower from virtual to material and anchoring the Precious Mirror onto a Spiritual Treasure Mirror that Li Ping’an had prepared in advance!

This Heavenly Protection Formation is truly remarkable!

Its existence has already elevated the safety level of the Heavenly Court to the top tier of the Desolate Era.

Unless a Saint appears, this formation is unbreakable.

Of course, this large formation is not without its shortcomings.

Unlike ordinary formations which consume various types of Spiritual Power, when the Heavenly Protection Formation encounters attacks, it consumes the merit stored in the Heavenly Court’s Merit Pond.

When merit is abundant, this formation is mighty;

Without merit, this formation is but a hollow setup.

If strong enemies of the Heavenly Court come to raid frequently and specialize in bombarding this formation, the merit pond of the Heavenly Court could easily run dry.

Therefore, it has become necessary to station hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers here.

Li Ping’an sat in the Lingxiao Hall for a while before remembering that the Heavenly Court’s formation had isolated everyone outside. He pondered briefly, and then directly used Heavenly Dao merit to outline a White Jade Imperial Gate, setting it in the southeast of the Heavenly Court, facing the most prosperous area of the East Continent, calling it…

South Heaven Gate.

—Although Li Ping’an wanted to create something whimsically contrasting like the ‘Harder Gate’, it was indeed rather unsuitable.

Hence, the ordinary and decent South Heaven Gate it is.

As for why there isn’t a West Heaven Gate, North Heaven Gate, or East Heaven Gate, that will have to wait until there is enough merit in the Heavenly Court to build them at a later stage.

For now, having a gate to enter and exit the Heavenly Court’s formation is considered good enough.

With the opening of the South Heaven Gate, streams of light flew inside, but only a small number of Heavenly Court officials previously recognized by the Heavenly Dao smoothly entered.

Seeing this, Li Ping’an could only keep busy, first calling the newly entered officials into the Lingxiao Hall, and summoned Wang Shan, invited his father, cross-checked the previously drafted list of first batch low, medium, high-ranking deities, formulated the edict, applied the Heaven Emperor’s Seal, and then allowed the remaining officials to enter.

The entire process highlighted a sense of chaos.

The officials, after entering, were also kept busy.

Li Dazhi was responsible for arranging the officials, organizing the first court assembly;

Wang Shan took the gods to open up the various halls, letting each deity find a place to work;

The gods of the War Department were busy registering the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals brought from the main world, assigning duties such as guarding gates and patrolling;

The gods of the Spiritual Department had already begun preparing the Heavenly Emperor’s big wedding, striving to make the wedding ceremony of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother a model for all beings.

Li Ping’an also couldn’t afford to be a hands-off leader.

The Heavenly Court has only been framed, and details in all areas need refinement.

Even the merit donated by Brother Xuanyuan has mostly been consumed, so Li Ping’an filled the Heavenly Court’s Merit Treasure Pond completely, which would ensure no shortage of merit salaries for the next twenty to thirty years.

Continuous incense merit gathered from all directions toward the Heavenly Court.

As the Misty Realm is located in the northwest direction, most of the merit currently comes from the northwest, accounting for seventy percent of the total merit volume.

When the merit given from the northwest direction only accounts for ten percent of the total merit volume, it would signify that the Heavenly Court has truly entered the right track, able to support five million Heavenly Soldiers and several thousand Heavenly Generals.

Li Ping’an’s Spirit Platform within has no more Golden Clouds.

At present, he has directly detached from the fate of being ‘parasitized by the Heavenly Dao’, and all that’s left in his Spirit Platform is the glow in the corners.

This granted him a considerable sense of relief, making him feel much more relaxed overall.

However, this does not mean he has developed a barrier with the Heavenly Dao.

As long as he covers his hand over the Heaven Emperor’s Seal, his thoughts can instantly envelop the entire Heavenly Court;

By merely expending a certain amount of merit, Li Ping’an can spiritually roam across the Misty Realm and its affiliated dozens of small worlds, as well as all the areas with Heavenly Emperor temples constructed.

This is the authority of the Heavenly Emperor.

The two golden lotuses planted earlier now blossomed outside the Lingxiao Palace.

Li Ping’an contemplated for a moment, then casually summoned two white clouds to cover the golden lotuses.

These are valuable things that might later give birth to eleven-grade merit golden lotuses, helping the Intercepting Sect suppress the teachings’ fortune.

Outside, a hurried immortal official reported:

“Reporting to Your Majesty! Intercepting Sect Immortal Qin Tianjun and Chan Teaching Immortal White Crane Boy have come to inquire when the Heavenly Court would be convenient to host guests; they wish to come and congratulate Your Majesty!”

Li Ping’an’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile, and he softly said: “Please convey to my two martial uncles that the Heavenly Court will send invitations later, inviting them to the Heavenly Court to observe the ceremony.”

“Yes!”

The immortal official bowed and hurriedly departed.

Li Ping’an thought for a while, expanded the edict, and decided to send out some gifts first.

Intercepting Sect Sage’s disciple Mother Gui Ling, who previously safeguarded the Heavenly Emperor’s safety and helped the Heavenly Court time and again, truly worked hard for the establishment of the Heavenly Court, being the cornerstone of the Three Realms, a model among the Three Teachings Immortals, is specially bestowed the title ‘First Turtle of the Desolate Era’, granted the position of Blessed Pure Deity, permission to traverse Tong Ming Palace, enjoying high-ranking deity treatment, and free entry and exit of the Lingxiao Palace.

Chan Teaching Sage’s disciple Immortal Huanglong, loyal and helpful to the Heavenly Court, actively promoting the allegiance of the Dragon Clan to the Heavenly Court, an elite of the Three Realms, is specially granted the title ‘Golden Dragon of the Dark Platform’, and the position of Blessed Pure Deity, enjoying high-ranking deity treatment.

Human Teachings Xuan Du Da Fa Shi, guarding the borders of Heaven and Earth, laboriously meritorious, with boundless merit, is granted the title ‘Grand Mage of the Mysterious Gate’, with the title of ‘Grand Marshal of Xuandu in the Heavenly Court’, enjoying high-ranking deity treatment, not included in Heavenly Court’s deity sequence.
