Chapter 1231: Chapter 438: Kunpeng’s Surprise Attack

The Jade Pool is quite strong.

Li Ping’an pointed out various aspects.

He originally thought that the Jade Pool might not understand the concept of reproduction, as she was, after all, a Primordial Being, and possessed an almost perfect Innate Dao Body, perhaps lacking such worldly desires.

However, well, it’s just, this…

Simply put, Li Ping’an initially thought he was the one taking the initiative, but after a night of fierce battle, he realized she was actually more proactive and had a wealth of knowledge, understanding what it means to be enticing.

When the battle lasted a day and night, Li Ping’an intended to conserve some strength for Ningning.

But when divine light shimmered on the Jade Pool’s forehead, and Zi Yao Xianzi appeared beside the bed, letting the long dress fall slowly from her smooth skin, Li Ping’an knew…

This battle was extraordinary.

He was practically gotten by the Jade Pool.

As the feast at the Heavenly Court ended, Li Ping’an finally left the Jade Pool’s chamber; though he couldn’t say his back was straight, he could certainly feel refreshed.

There were numerous wonderful things about this encounter that were not to be told to outsiders.

Fortunately, that Transcender mentor had made him endure bitter cultivation of the physical body, and he achieved some success in bodily training, otherwise Li Ping’an estimated he would now need a handrail in the clouds, with his eye sockets likely deeply sunk.

Now to business.

When he arrived at Tong Ming Palace, the key ministers of the Heavenly Court had already gathered, led by Wang Shan who rose to pay respects.

All the ministers said in unison: “Congratulations on Your Majesty’s marriage.”

Li Ping’an smiled and shook his head, glancing at Zi Yao Xianzi who sat calmly on her chair, the latter calmly avoiding eye contact, her two large braids changed into slightly mature cloud hair.

“Thank you, dear ministers, please take your seats. At Tong Ming Palace, formalities are unnecessary.”

There was a long table set, with four rows of chairs, resembling not an area for Heavenly Court discussions, but more like Li Factory Director’s meeting room.

Li Ping’an took his seat at the head.

The ministers took their seats according to the Heavenly Dao sequence on both sides.

Zi Yao was none other than the Queen Mother in disguise, which was no secret in the Heavenly Court, so her seat was naturally closest to Li Ping’an, and directly opposite Zi Yao sat Li Dazhi.

Although Li Dazhi’s position in the Heavenly Dao sequence was just the sixteenth (including the Six Saints and Three Sovereigns), it was lower than the Eastern King, Houtu, and Wang Shan, but his identity as the Heavenly Emperor’s father certainly added points.

Feng Qingyang sat at the lower seat below Li Dazhi.

Li Dazhi raised the first issue.

How the Heavenly Court will operate going forward.

The main realm, although not far from the Misty Realm, is conveniently accessible with their directional Silver Shuttle, but according to Li Ping’an’s development plan for the Heavenly Court, eight small realms should be established as settlement centers, with the Heavenly Court situated at the central position of the main realm.

If part of the ministers were dispatched, they would directly leave the power center.

To this, Li Ping’an stated directly:

“The establishment of the Heavenly Court now is mainly to guard against the provocation from the Southern Continent’s Divine Court. The Heavenly Court currently only has these Thirty-six Halls, later we just need to leave three or four gate-watching minor gods in each hall.”

“Subsequently, still follow the Six Departments’ plan to continue managing the Misty Realm; once the Misty Realm and nearby small realms stabilize, establish the Misty Realm Guard House to oversee the Northwest matters.”

“At present, the Misty Realm accounts for more than seventy percent of the incense offerings to the Heavenly Court; we strive to unite the small realms in the North and West within fifty years, increasing the Heavenly Court’s incense income threefold.”

“In the future, my main body will be cultivating in the Heavenly Court, and I’ll create several Self-moving Immortal Armors to harbor my spirit and mind.”

“Wherever the Six Departments are, there will be the core of operations.”

The immortals each nodded.

Ye Zisang was diligently penning notes in the corner.

Li Dazhi asked: “Your Majesty, may I temporarily not move to the Heavenly Court?”

“As you wish,” Li Ping’an seriously replied, “The Heavenly Court is protected by the Heavenly Dao grand formation and is generally safer.”

Li Dazhi laughed: “Rest assured, I’ve already burned the White Robe, so it temporarily remains as it is.”

Wang Shan asked: “Your Majesty, how many immortal soldiers should be stationed in the Heavenly Court?”

Li Ping’an said: “Three thousand should suffice.”

The surrounding ministers quickly advised:

“Your Majesty, at least twenty thousand are necessary!”

“Indeed, Your Majesty, the Heavenly Court is the gate to the Heavenly Dao and a place venerated by all; if few troops are stationed here, it might give rise to evil intentions among villains.”

“Your Majesty, transferring troops from the Misty Realm to the main realm’s North and West would be much farther than transferring them within the main realm.”

Feng Qingyang laughed:

“Minister believes it’s better to use the Heavenly Court as a central point for mobilization.

“We can first have the Dragon Clan move two small realms, placing them respectively between the Xuanwu Realm, the White Tiger Realm, and the main realm, as places to garrison troops.”

“Current restrictions on our development speed are due to the slow pace of moving small realms.”

Li Ping’an slowly nodded: “Then let the Eastern King arrange the matters of stationed troops in various places. Recruitment of soldiers should also be handled by the Eastern King; waging war externally requires my directive.”

The ministers agreed accordingly.

This meeting essentially established the future power structure of the Heavenly Court, with the Queen Mother overseeing internal affairs, the Eastern King managing external affairs, and Dazhi taking charge of finances; the three pillars of the Heavenly Court were officially in place.

Li Ping’an not only easily became the boss who delegates tasks but was also praised by the ministers for being wise.*

At the meeting’s conclusion, Li Ping’an earnestly stated:

“The development of the Eight Realms of Heaven and Three Thousand Worlds will be left to you all in the future.

“The Southern Continent’s Divine Court has become a concern. I will find a way to resolve this; besides, there are many turbulent matters in this world.

“Today, as I stand here to reiterate our Heavenly Court’s importance, as well as the main direction and basic strategy for the Heavenly Court development in the future, these are principle matters. Anyone who defies them will face severe punishment.”

“First, the reason for establishing this Heavenly Court… Zisang? Can you answer?”

Suddenly called upon, Ye Zisang was evidently a bit flustered.
