764: Chapter 267: The Human Emperor’s Sworn Sister_2 764: Chapter 267: The Human Emperor’s Sworn Sister_2 “What good does it do when myriads of immortals come to court, when in the end, the struggle between the Great Sects all comes down to the Sect Hierarchs vying for supremacy?”

Seven days later.

Li Ping’an looked at the Messaging Jade Talisman that was slowly drifting over from the main world, and sighed at his own teacher’s profound immortal power and impressive skill in artifact refining.

A Messaging Jade Talisman that could traverse between the main world and minor worlds was truly not easy to refine.

He held the Jade Talisman in his palm and finished reading, then couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub his nose.

‘The teacher’s reprimands are always so meticulously worded.’

Qing Su’s voice came from the side, “What’s the matter?

It seems to be Senior Yun Zhongzi’s Dao Charm.”

Li Ping’an turned his head to look at the beautiful immortal sitting quietly cultivating in the corner, and smiled, “Nothing much, Teacher Yun Zhongzi just reminded me not to get too close to the Chanjie Sect, lest Uncle-Master Guang Chengzi becomes very upset.”

“Hmm?”

Qing Su’s lips slightly pursed, and the delicate line of her jaw combined with the slight smile blooming on her pure and beautiful face added a touch of elegance to the room.

She asked, “Is the Chan Teaching feeling slighted?”

“You can’t quite put it that way,” Li Ping’an sighed, “with the Dao Immortal Tribulation coming, the disciples of the Chanjie Dual Sects are just looking out for each other.

This matter also gives me quite a headache.”

“Let’s focus on cultivation first,” she said.

Qing Su spoke, “Though the affairs of heaven and earth are important, your cultivation as the Heavenly Emperor must not lag behind.”

“Alas, yes, Disciple obeys,” he said.

Li Ping’an looked out the window, a stream of unresolved matters flowing through his mind.

The relocation of the Witch Clan had been settled; he initially planned to borrow several hundred Pagodas for troop transport from the East Alliance, but then he thought better of it and asked the Ancestral Witch Houtu to go to the Nuwa Palace, borrowing directly the Jiangshan Sheji Map.

Thus, it only took five days in total, which was the time for the multitudes of the Witch Clan to enter and exit the Jiangshan Sheji Map, to bring over eighteen million witches to the Misty Realm.

Though the Witch Clan wouldn’t admit it, among these eighteen million witches, sixteen million were mortals.

These mortals, having lived underground in the Northern Continent for years, were emaciated and underdeveloped; it would take at least a few years for them to recover to normal.

If left to worldly means, tens of millions of refugees would pose an enormous problem;

but to immortals, such an issue is not difficult to handle.

What’s difficult is how to govern this world with integrity;

What’s difficult is how to restrain the likes of the Western Sect, preventing them from bullying the weak and acting recklessly.

“Master,” Li Ping’an called out softly.

Qing Su asked, “What is it?”

Li Ping’an sighed, “Disciple has doubts.”

“Let’s hear them,” Qing Su stood up, lightly tapped her toes, and floated to Li Ping’an’s side, sitting down on the seat in front of the window, “but I’m not good at schemes, and I might not be able to help you with many things.”

“I’ve been discussing with Wang Shan and the others for several days, and I’m really undecided now,” he stated.

Li Ping’an spoke seriously:

“According to my original thoughts, with Heavenly Court coming to the Misty Realm, we naturally wanted to develop it into a model for all the worlds.

“The development of the Misty Realm should be divided into three steps: enriching the people’s lives, enlightening their minds, and promoting cultivation.

After detailed calculations, it will take at least three hundred years for the Misty Realm to cultivate an atmosphere of cultivation like that of the East Continent.

“What Wang Shan and the others are thinking…

is that we don’t need to inform the mortals too much, we just need to let the immortals find suitable candidates for cultivation and train them as immortal soldiers.

“The ignorance of mortals is not necessarily a bad thing for the Heavenly Court.”

Qing Su pondered for a moment: “Indeed, among the mortals in the great Immortal Dynasty, ninety percent have no knowledge of the complete picture of heaven and earth, only aware that the immortals support the Dynasty.”

“But that’s not the world I wish for,” he said.

Li Ping’an’s gaze became distant, as if talking to himself:

“The world I envision is one where everyone has the opportunity to choose their own fate, where they can succeed or gain something as long as they strive.

“Of course, this is just a very vague ideal, almost impossible to realize…

“If my father was here, what would he say to me?

“He might say,”

“Yes, how the Misty Realm develops will determine the tone for how the Heavenly Court governs its territories in the future.

I would rather take it slow, or combine the development of the Misty Realm with expansion into other minor worlds.”

Qing Su looked at Li Ping’an’s profile, her bright eyes rippling slightly, and asked softly, “Have you decided?”

“I have decided,” Li Ping’an’s gaze was mostly serene, “to promote agriculture, to establish schools in villages, to spread the teachings of the human sages, and to distribute a hundred sets of introductory methods for cultivation to strengthen and improve the health of the people.

The Spiritual Energy of the minor worlds is not like that of the main world, everything depends on their own fortunes.”

“You’re starting to look a bit like a Heavenly Emperor now.”

Qing Su stood up and floated back to her corner: “Then I’ll continue my cultivation.”

“Thank you, Master, for resolving my doubts.”

“I was just chatting with you,” she replied.

Li Ping’an chuckled in spite of himself, gazing out the window at the silhouettes of busy immortals flying back and forth, his heart filled with more ambition.

Having come to this world,

one should surely make a big fuss,

act according to one’s heart, and be guilt-free.

Everything is now arranged; in a few years, we will see how things turn out.

Cultivation!

This is truly:

Li Ping’an plots to seize the Misty Realm, aspiring to save the immortals of the Chanjie Sect.

Slaying the five disciples of the West, earning the devotion of thousands upon thousands.

The Heavenly Court finally finds a path to prosperity, while the Witch Clan at last finds shelter from the rain.

Severing the Human Race’s path in the Sea of Blood, who would have thought that the Heavenly Court’s authority would rise!

…

In the following two years, Li Ping’an was indeed extremely busy.

There were not many officials in the Heavenly Court yet, and those who could be considered capable were just a few such as Wang Shan and Luo Xuejing.

Many matters had to be overseen personally by him even after delegating, to let others know how the Heavenly Emperor thought.

The Mountain God Tian Hu turned out to be an unexpected joy.

In this realm, both mortals and the weakly powerful creatures from the Hundred Clans believed in the Mountain God Tian Hu;

thus many initiatives became effortless once Tian Hu made an appearance and spoke a few words.
