“Would you like to come over for a cup of tea?” Li Dazhi busied himself, “I’ve just had someone pick the tea tips after the rain for you!”

“No, thank you,” Guiling Holy Mother wasn’t completely lost under the sugar-coated shells of the Zuyun Sect, “Please inform me of the new Heavenly Emperor’s whereabouts.

I can’t predict it now, our fellow Daoists from Intercept Sect aren’t moving about outside, and I don’t know where to find him.”

Li Dazhi hurriedly said, “Ping’an is currently in Dong’an City, I will personally escort you there.”

“Much appreciated!”

“Not at all, not at all, it is I who should thank you for coming,”

Li Dazhi sighed to himself.

Ping’an, running around east and west, indeed had received some protection.

…

In the depths of the East Sea, near the waters of Penglai Immortal Isle.

The lavishly decorated main hall of the recently renamed headquarters of the Heavenly Square Pavilion.

One after another, Immortals queued up from the corner, making the oath of “Serve Heavenly Square loyally, Faithful to the Human Race” in front of Fenghou’s Eight Trigrams Plate.

Below the high platform, Li Ping’an, still in his attire of black robe, black clothes, and half mask, chatted with the three deputy pavilion masters and several elders about the various news of the lands beyond heavens.

When Li Ping’an heard that the Demon Race established order outside of heavens and that, although the Human Race was numerous, their survival was fraught with hardship, a sense of urgency couldn’t help but grow within him.

“What do you all think is the first step we should take in establishing the Heavenly Court?”

The various elders pondered and took turns voicing their opinions.

“Pavilion Master, we have no experience in establishing the Heavenly Court, so this matter should be decided by you.

However, I think that we should first look for some usable Immortal Palaces within the Ruins of Heaven, raise them, and make them the place of your royal court,”

“No, no, no, it’s too early to establish a court.

Right now, the Heavenly Court should train an army of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, at the very least, a million strong!”

“But raising a million celestial soldiers is extremely laborious.”

“All beginnings are hard, what we actually need now is to proclaim the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor to the outside world, attract talents, and expand financial resources.”

Eventually, Li Ping’an heard the response that matched his wishes, yet it came from the latecomer ‘Mo Wentian’ Xuntian Xu.

Xuntian Xu bowed and said, “Pavilion Master, I have a suggestion.”

“Speak.”

“I believe that the establishment of a new Heavenly Court is not an overnight endeavor; the most crucial aspect right now is to root the Heavenly Court.”

Xuntian Xu quickly continued:

“The Heavenly Court cannot be detached from sentient beings, and also needs the incense offerings from sentient beings to establish and maintain the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

“Thus, the Heavenly Court must first find a way to receive the incense offerings from a group of sentient beings.

“The Southern Continent and the East Continent are the lands of the Human Race, but the Southern Continent is covered by the Skycutter Great Array, and the East Continent is the territory of the Human Race’s Qi Cultivators, the foundation of the Human Emperor; the beginning of the Heavenly Court would be just right in nearby minor heavens.”

Li Ping’an nodded with a smile, “Mo Big Brother’s words are well said.”

The deputy pavilion masters and elders each pondered, starting to think along this line of thought.

Deputy Pavilion Master Feng Jigui said, “These minor heavens outside are actually quite complex; each realm has a different situation, and Western Sect’s influence is everywhere…”

“Please select eight minor heavens as candidates for now, and we will choose one from them to start with a trial conquest and management.”

Li Ping’an spoke calmly:

“Later, the first deputy pavilion master will accompany me on a trip back to the East Continent, to settle the method of contact and also discuss the first step of the new Heavenly Court.”

All the pavilion masters and elders bowed simultaneously.

“We will follow your commands!”

Right at this moment, a somewhat timid female voice came from beside…

“Uh, Pavilion Master?”

Li Ping’an turned his head to look, and saw a Heavenly Immortal in a purple dress, who had just put on her makeup.

Her eyes twinkled with bright light as she bowed her head and curtsied, saying softly:

“I am Sun Yingying, pavilion master of Heavenly Square Pavilion; may I ask who Mo Wenqing is to you?”

Xuntian Xu laughed, “Mo Wenqing is our sworn brother, ranked third.”

“So it is.”

Sun Yingying pretended to suddenly understand, biting her lips slightly, she asked softly:

“Pavilion Master, may I follow by your side to be responsible for internal communications?”

“There’s no need,” Li Ping’an laughed and pulled Xuntian Xu to his side, “My big brother will be in charge of communications later; Pavilion Master Sun is clever and wise, to use her only for communications would be to waste her talents.”

Sun Yingying’s eyes sparkled as she said softly, “Pavilion Master, would you reconsider?

I can wash clothes and cook, I also know musical instruments, choreograph dances, compose poems, and if you’re ever bored, I can sing you a tune to dispel the gloom.”

A deputy pavilion master frowned and scolded, “Yingying, do not be presumptuous in front of the Pavilion Master!

Leave at once!”

“Oh,” Sun Yingying lowered her head, curtseyed, and left; after taking a couple of steps, she couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile, her steps becoming much lighter.

Li Ping’an frowned and shook his head.

He always felt that this young woman was starting to have designs on him again.

Xuntian Xu muttered, “Heavenly Emperor Pavilion Master, I still have to take care of Li’er and Qiu’er, I can’t be by your side all the time.

Yingying is quite capable, and her mother is also a good friend of mine.”

“Then let her mother work with you on communications,”

Li Ping’an said offhandedly, turning to continue discussing matters of the minor heavens outside with the deputy pavilion masters and elders.

It was a small matter, not worth dwelling on.
