“Brother Wang, sorry to keep you waiting.

Are these war formation techniques sufficient?

The methods of changing war formations currently used by our army are all prepared here.”

“It’s enough, thanks a lot!”

Wang Shan smiled with cupped hands, storing the dozen or so Jade Talismans into his chest as he thanked the two silver-armored generals before him.

“I am grateful for your help this time, brothers.”

The silver-armored generals chuckled:

“Eh!

No need for such formalities!”

“We’ve also sought instructions from several superiors; the superiors said that since the Human Race’s Heavenly Court is newly established and faces difficulties, the Human Emperor has already ordered us to give our full support.

If not for the fact that the Demon Race has yet to be quelled, our immortal soldiers would probably have become Heavenly Soldiers by now!”

“Brother Wang has accumulated immortal power for over six thousand years, finally awaiting the day to spread your wings like a Roc.

In the future, we brothers might even rely on Brother Wang’s support!”

“You brothers give me too much credit; after all, we are all striving for a flourishing era for the Human Race.”

Wang Shan cupped his hands again in thanks.

A faint voice transmitted from outside the tent: “Immortal Officer Wang, Immortal Officer Wang!

His Majesty has returned!

He’s looking for you!

The gathering of experts is just missing you!”

It was He Xinghan who had hurried to this place in search of Wang Shan.

Wang Shan hastily bid farewell to the two silver-armored generals and flew out of the camp astride a cloud.

After meeting up with He Xinghan, they hurriedly returned to Li Ping’an’s residence.

Wang Shan asked, “Didn’t His Majesty go out again with Minister Feng?”

“He has returned,” He Xinghan said with a smile, “Minister Feng also brought back four or five experts, claiming they are from the Heavenly Square Pavilion, though I haven’t heard of this name before.”

“Heavenly Square Pavilion?”

Wang Shan pondered briefly, unable to find any relevant memory of his own.

He figured this must be assistance provided by Minister Feng and resolved to make their acquaintance later.

The two entered through the protective city formation, heading straight for Li Ping’an’s residence.

Just then, several figures were entering the formation, and among them, the petite and charming girl immediately caught Wang Shan’s attention.

Mother Gui Ling!

Wang Shan greeted from afar with a Daoist salute: “Greetings to Heavenly Emperor Father!”

“Immortal Officer Wang is too courteous!”

Li Dazhi chuckled and returned the gesture, shaking his head and jokingly saying:

“Stop calling me Heavenly Emperor Father; This Poor Daoist is currently the Sect Leader of the Casting Cloud Sect, ordered by the Human Emperor to fully support the establishment of the Heavenly Court.”

Wang Shan smiled and said: “Greetings, Sect Leader.”

“Good words, good words,” Li Dazhi said, “I’ll first invite Mother Gui Ling inside.

Mother Gui Ling is here on orders to ensure Ping’an’s safety.”

“Greetings to Elder Gui Ling,” Wang Shan and He Xinghan took the opportunity to bow.

Mother Gui Ling blinked and returned a formal greeting with a crisp voice: “Thank you for your courtesy, both of you.

Visit us at Jie Sect when you have time.”

Wang Shan and He Xinghan were at a loss for words.

But it was Wang Shan who quickly responded, “We shall certainly make a visit to Jie Sect and meet the elders when we have the chance.”

“Let’s talk inside.”

Li Dazhi gestured with an inviting hand, leading Mother Gui Ling and the two fully realized Heavenly Immortals of the Wanyun Sect into the residence, with Wang Shan and He Xinghan following behind.

The yard suddenly bustled with activity.

At the entrance of the study, Li Ping’an stood with his hands behind his back, greeting his father before proceeding to pay his respects to Mother Gui Ling.

Li Ping’an said, “Dad, your timing is perfect; we were just about to have a meeting.

It will only delay you for half a day, and afterward, you can return to the sect.”

“Sure,” Li Dazhi said with a smile, “Casting Cloud Sect will also be directly under the Heavenly Court in the future; in the meeting, just treat me as one of your subordinates.”

“Hmm—”

Li Ping’an hummed slightly: “Then should I try calling you boss to see how it sounds?”

“Go away!”

Li Dazhi kicked at him, and Li Ping’an dodged with a laugh.

The playful scuffle between father and son lightened the otherwise solemn atmosphere considerably.

A moment later.

There in the courtyard, the first developmental meeting of the Human Race’s Heavenly Court officially began.

Wen Ling’er and Chen Ting’er brought chairs, and under Li Dazhi’s direction, everyone took their places, either standing or sitting, in a large circle in the yard.

Li Ping’an sat at the northern end, with Xing He and Xinghan standing behind him.

To his left was his father Li Dazhi, Elder Yansheng, and two other elders of the Casting Cloud Sect, sitting behind Li Dazhi.

To Li Ping’an’s right were the several guests from the Heavenly Square Pavilion, including Vice Pavilion Master Feng Jigui and Vice Pavilion Master Feng Wenjing, with the two golden-robed elders sitting behind the vice pavilion masters.

The beautiful woman of the Golden Immortal Realm was Sun Yingying’s mother, a senior elder from the original Yuan Huan Valley, and now the newly promoted elder of the Heavenly Square Pavilion, who went by the Daoist name ‘Snow Calm Hermit’ and was called Luo Xuejing.

Next to Feng Wenjing sat Xuntian Xu, son of Xu Sheng and originally Yuan Huan Valley’s top Artifact Refiner Mo Wentian.

However, Xuntian Xu had already revealed his true identity here and, thanks to his status as a master Artifact Refiner, was awarded an ‘inner circle’ seat.

Such an eminent Artificer was a rare resource anywhere.

Representing the Human Emperor for the meeting, Minister Feng, the Divine Minister, sat directly opposite Li Ping’an, observing in silence without expressing any opinions.

Between Li Dazhi and Minister Feng sat Wang Shan, Feng Zhansiang, Immortal Huanglong, and Mother Gui Ling.

Wang Shan and Feng Zhansiang, both generals under Li Ping’an, had cultivations close to the Golden Immortal Realm and were thus marginally qualified to sit in the inner circle.

Feng Tingzhu, Chen Ting’er, and Wen Ling’er stood not far away, waiting for Li Ping’an’s call.

Ye Zisang, Gu Qingcheng, and Yu Yingshu guarded the doorway, their current statuses being akin to minor officials and immortal soldiers.

“Cough!”

Li Ping’an cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping around, feeling a touch of emotion inside.

Although there weren’t many people here, they represented many powers.

Minister Feng represented the Human Emperor;

Immortal Huanglong represented the Chan Teaching;

Mother Gui Ling represented the Jie Sect;

His father Li Dazhi represented the Casting Cloud Sect, while Feng Jigui and others represented the Heavenly Square Pavilion, effectively two forces under his control.

Li Ping’an composed himself and said with a serious expression: “The first developmental meeting of the Heavenly Court is now open, Wang Shan?”
