Talented ones, rise.”

“Since returning from beyond the heavens, I nearly missed this grand gathering.

Today, please give your best performance, and show the Taoist Sect’s notables the elegance of the Human Race Qi Cultivators!”

“The Heavenly Court of the Human Race should indeed be supported by the talents of the Human Race!”

“Those selected by the Heavenly Emperor will rise up for the Heavenly Court and sustain the long prosperity of the Human Race.

Strive vigorously to be the first!

Those who are not selected need not be discouraged, for the whole world is a place for you to display your talents!”

The Human Race Qi Cultivators grew excited once more and continuously paid their respects to Xuanyuan Huangdi.

Xuanyuan Huangdi descended on a cloud, gradually withdrawing his divine skills and landed on the Cloud Platform within the Holy Mother Palace, bowing deeply to the Holy Mother.

Nüwa said, “Please take a seat.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi took his seat to the left and in front of Nüwa, and reported to her in a soft voice.

Nüwa’s expression suddenly took on a hint of amusement as she stared intently into the sky.

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar echoed from the high heavens!

Immortal Huanglong transformed into his original form, revealing his majestic length and showering dazzling golden light as he circled slowly from on high.

Li Ping’an appeared in the sky, encircled by the golden dragon, and with hands clasped behind his back, he drifted straight toward the Holy Mother Palace.

From the northwest direction, Guang Chengzi nodded with a smile, looking quite contented.

Just as he was about to inwardly sigh ‘Immortal Huanglong, you’ve done a great service,’ Guang Chengzi did a double-take, with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

On Li Ping’an’s shoulder sat a three-inch-tall maiden, none other than Guilingling, one of the four great disciples of the Inner Sect of the Intercepting Sect.

From the southeast direction, Jinling Saint Mother also softly exclaimed, her lips revealing a slight smile as her cloud sped up a bit.

Shortly after, Li Ping’an’s figure reached above the Holy Mother Palace.

An elder from the Casting Cloud Sect loudly exclaimed, “Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!”

Then, resounding cheers erupted from all around:

“Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!”

“Greetings, the Heavenly Emperor!”

Li Ping’an’s heart stirred slightly as he waved his hand with a smile to the Immortals all around.

In such a setting, performing a Taoist bow wasn’t fitting, and clasping hands seemed too secular; this light wave was quite appropriate.

Immortal Huanglong transformed into his Innate Dao Body, standing beside Li Ping’an with hands clasped behind his back, and instantly looking imposing.

Li Ping’an said, “Uncle Master, I am going to pay respects to the Holy Mother, please go find our fellow sect members, and later join me to visit the Holy Mother together.”

“Alrighty!”

“Good!”

Guilingling and Huanglong simultaneously transformed into streaks of light, flying toward the southeast and northwest, respectively.

Li Ping’an heaved a sigh of relief, then landed on the Cloud Platform, making a Daoist bow to the Saint Mother.

“Greetings, Holy Mother.”

In a warm tone, Nüwa said, “The Heavenly Emperor is too courteous, please take a seat.”

All around, the fairy maidens curtsied in unison, and the standing Heavenly Soldiers knelt on one knee, all paying great respects to Li Ping’an.

—This appeared to have been rehearsed beforehand, the movements were very uniform.

Three hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers shouted in unison, “Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor!”

Li Ping’an, undaunted by the occasion, proclaimed loudly, “Please, everyone, rise.”

“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!”

After the ceremony, Li Ping’an took his seat next to Nüwa, to her right and in front.

As he sat down, a voice as sweet as candied fruit called out, “Husband…”

Li Ping’an looked up, and the faint smile on his lips instantly melted.

What did he see?

A fairy maiden was approaching gracefully.

An innately spiritual body full of deep meaning, her figure was graceful as if made of jade and frost.

Her black hair was wound up into a cloud-like bun, combed delicately to please his eyes.

Gorgeous robes of silk were fine, but the clinking jade hairpins brought an auspicious glow.

As if they whispered sweet nothings like the day before, she lightly called ‘husband’ with a ripple in her eye.

“Madam, you’ve come out of seclusion?”

Li Ping’an immediately stood up, ignoring the looks around him, and smiled, “Come here, sit with me.”

A fairy maiden brought over a slightly smaller throne, placing it beside Li Ping’an.

Ningning Mu approached, first bowing deeply, and then with a smile full of meaning, she allowed Li Ping’an to take her delicate hand.

The couple locked eyes, their hearts brimming with unsaid feelings, but such a time and place weren’t suitable for too much display of affection.

Ningning Mu turned and sat poised at Li Ping’an’s side, her demeanor dignified, her beauty radiant, now carrying a sense of authority.

At that moment, the clamor outside the Holy Mother Palace lessened, replaced by a heightened solemnity.

Nüwa inquired, “Heavenly Emperor, have you gained anything from your visit to the Dragon Clan’s domain?”

Li Ping’an turned with a smile and replied, “With Human Emperor leading the way, the harvest was indeed rich.

The foundation of the Dragon Clan is profound; they may well lend strength to the Heavenly Court.

I will also make frequent visits in the future.”

“That is good to hear.”

With an affectionate smile, Nüwa said warmly:

“You will be busy in the coming days.

The talents of the Human Race have gathered here; you should look carefully and choose well…

The Immortals of the Chanjie Dual Sects have arrived, and as the Heavenly Emperor, you shall receive them.”

“Yes, the holy maidens of the Holy Mother Palace have been hard at work these days,” Li Ping’an replied, not in a hurry to rise, but waiting a moment longer.

The Precept Teaching Immortals and the Intercepting Sect Immortals arrived at the same time above the Holy Mother Palace.

Guang Chengzi held a brocade box in his left hand, saying with a smile:

“The Chan Teaching has heard of the Heavenly Emperor’s recruitment of talents and has specially sent us to convey congratulations.

We bring a humble gift, hoping the Heavenly Court will rise soon.”

Jinling Saint Mother casually took out a Great Gourd and announced aloud:

“The Jie Sect has heard of the Heavenly Emperor’s recruitment of talents and has specially sent us to convey congratulations.

We bring a generous gift, hoping the Heavenly Court will rise soon.”

The expressions of the six Precept Teaching Immortals looked somewhat displeased.

Immortal Taiyi’s lips showed a hint of a smile, as if he was about to declare a truth.

“Honorable Uncle Masters, your grand presence graces us!”

Li Ping’an stood and clasped his hands with a smile, saying:

“My heart is brimming with joy; please descend and take a seat to witness the grandeur of the Human Race and commence the ceremony for the Celestial Official of the Heavenly Court!”

Immortal Taiyi laughed awkwardly and was tugged on the sleeve by Immortal Yuding.

The Immortals from both sects performed a Taoist bow and returned the gesture to Li Ping’an.

Beside them, fairy maidens brought over low tables and cushions, and the accomplished masters from the Chanjie Dual Sects took their places on either side.
