Chapter 1229: Chapter 437 The Queen Mother Enters the Tent_2

Dang, dang, dang!

The Heaven Emperor’s Seal was struck three times, and three decrees transformed into golden light and disappeared.

Li Ping’an’s lips curved into a serene smile, and his Dao heart felt much more at ease.

All the above were handled impartially; next came the matters of personal interest.

Li Ping’an carefully thought about it, and sent a plaque titled [Where Clouds Begin] to the Casting Cloud Sect, granting the elder of the eastern alliance a high-ranking divine position.

His Aunt Yue and Aunt Rou both received rewards, based on high-ranking divine titles.

Previously, the Heavenly Court had already given Lady Ba many titles; today, Li Ping’an didn’t want to wrong his beloved, directly bestowing the title ‘Grand Marshal of the Martial Spirits of the Heavenly Court’.

If the Heavenly Court had the Four Sovereigns and Five Elders, making Lady Ba a top-ranking deity wouldn’t be so conspicuous; Li Ping’an even considered giving her this title.

In fact, Li Ping’an had long prepared a divine position for Lady Ba.

Among the thirty-six halls of the Heavenly Court, there is a hall governing calamities of plague, drought, flood, cold, and heat, which perfectly aligns with Lady Ba’s Dao, making her leadership of these halls rather fitting.

Of course, this would have to wait until Lady Ba stepped down from her position with the Human Race, as she currently controls the eastern alliance.

If asking who was most fortunate with the establishment of the Heavenly Court, it would undoubtedly be Wen Ling’er in the Misty Realm, and especially the Great White Tiger, whom Li Ping’an had carefully nurtured, yet whose position was snatched by the Roc Bird.

Wen Ling’er always served by his side, diligently and without complaints, and Li Ping’an directly bestowed the title ‘Purple Vein Immortal’, granting her mid-level divine status.

Although the Great White Tiger lacked opportunities to shine, Li Ping’an still gave her the title ‘Guardian Beast of the Halls’, with low-level divine status.

As for his master Qing Su and Elder Yansheng, since they were already employed in the Heavenly Court, there was no need for additional rewards.

‘This shouldn’t count as benefiting oneself alone, elevating all around?’ Li Ping’an mused to himself, casually striking the Heaven Emperor’s Seal for the decrees beside him, specifically giving Gongmin Chen and Wei Yanzi two minor divine titles.

Other members of the Casting Cloud Sect had Li Dazhi’s care, so Li Ping’an didn’t need to worry much.

Soon, the thirty-six halls were filled with vitality, the immortals beamed with smiles, congratulating each other, and then gathered in the Tong Ming Palace.

The Roc Bird flew back to the Misty Realm, bringing several key figures.

Half a day later, the Heavenly Court convened its first assembly, with Li Ping’an seated as the leader, appropriately handling several reports and establishing the future matters for the Heavenly Emperor’s grand wedding.

Invitations were swiftly sent out across the lands.

A new order was established between heaven and earth, with the power of the Heavenly Dao increasing several times over within a few days, and divine punishment continually appearing in places where karmic debts accumulated.

The most unfortunate of these was the Asura Tribe from the Sea of Blood.

Even though they hadn’t done anything recently, on the day of the Heavenly Court’s establishment, hundreds of divine punishment thunderbolts rained down from the sky, destroying nearly half the city where Minghe Old Ancestor resided.

This was because the Heavenly Dao sensed inner Heavenly Dao spirits hiding there, conveniently settling Minghe Old Ancestor’s old debts.

However, Minghe Old Ancestor himself was unharmed.

…

Meanwhile, outside the Xuan Capital City near the Chaos Sea, dozens of shadows quietly lurked.

The demon master Kunpeng remained wrapped in layers of black cloth, his eyes slightly narrowed, watching over the Xuan Capital City enshrouded in golden light.

After the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the power of the Heavenly Dao surged, and significant changes took place in the Xuan Capital City, making its formation many times sturdier than before.

This underscores the importance of the Heavenly Court.

“The new Heavenly Court was established so smoothly,” the calamity lord sneered, “Logically, it should have required at least several hundred years of merit accumulation; undoubtedly, Xuanyuan Huangdi is up to mischief again.”

Kunpeng responded coldly, “Xuanyuan Huangdi has truly forgotten the pain of having his leg severed! I will ensure he experiences it once more!”

“Stop making empty threats,” the calamity lord sighed, “With the defenses of the Xuan Capital suddenly strengthened, it’s going to be difficult for us to return. What do you think…?”

“It’s of no concern,” Kunpeng said indifferently, “The innate gods and demons have begun to panic; let’s wait a while. I’ve already arranged for some formidable innate gods and demons to break through the formation.”

The calamity lord shrugged, “The imperial tutor decides; I’m merely an obedient subordinate.”

Kunpeng cast him a glance, coldly smiling slightly.

His real plan was surely not to confront the Xuan Du Da Fa Shi head-on.

…

Half a month after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the main realm welcomed a grand event.

Heavenly Emperor Li Ping’an was marrying the ancient powerful Jade Pool Queen Mother Xiwangmu and the daughter of the human tribal leader Mu, Ningning.

The Heavenly Court spared no effort in preparations for this grand wedding.

The dowry brought by the Jade Pool Queen Mother was indeed substantial.

First, the Jade Pool cultivated tens of thousands of female immortals; all of these immortals were registered in the Heavenly Court, with their main task henceforth being to defend the Heavenly Court and serve the Heavenly Emperor and Empress.

The Heavenly Court’s prestige was immediately elevated.

Secondly, the entire Western Kunlun Secret Realm.

The Jade Pool employed great magical power, relocating the secret realm into the Heavenly Court, maintaining appropriate distance from the thirty-six halls.

In this secret realm are the Flat Peach Garden, the splendor of the Jade Pool, and an expanse of interconnected pavilions and palaces; it even houses hundreds of stunningly beautiful immortals devoted to dance and music, offering performances for the Heavenly Emperor and Empress to enjoy.

The place was named after Queen Mother Xiwangmu, the Jade Pool.

—She had prepared thoughtfully since ancient times, ensuring everything was well-arranged.

Li Ping’an’s betrothal gift was a decree, removing the ‘West’ from Queen Mother’s title, referring to her simply as Queen Mother, overseeing the female immortals of the Heavenly Court, and managing the Three Punishment Halls.

From here, the title of Queen Mother was established.

However, Li Ping’an was not the Haotian Boy; his accepted title was simply that of Heavenly Emperor.

Mundane folk might refer to the ‘Supreme Being’, meaning the Emperor of the Heaven Realm.

On the day of the wedding, the Heavenly Court welcomed eight thousand guests.
