Chapter 482 - 482 491 Remolding the Heavenly Court

482: Chapter 491 Remolding the Heavenly Court 482: Chapter 491 Remolding the Heavenly Court In the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, ten thousand li from the Turquoise Pool.

Ye Xuan sat high on the Heavenly Emperor’s throne, the expressions of the Jie Sect’s group of Immortals brimming with excitement.

All of them bowed in veneration toward Ye Xuan, while the other Immortals appeared pale, yet still rose from their meditation mats, all paying homage toward Ye Xuan, and even more began to shout the name of Heavenly Emperor Ye.

Clearly, when the Heavenly Sect Master issued the Saint’s Decree, legitimizing Ye Xuan’s claim to the Heavenly Emperor’s throne, no one could possibly oppose the Saint’s Decree—that would be tantamount to seeking death.

Below the Saint, all are mere ants; the will of a Saint must not be contravened.

This was not just talk; it was an eternal iron law.

“Let all officials rise.”

Ye Xuan wore a slight smile, his gaze sweeping over the group of Immortals in all directions.

His voice was calm and unrippled, showing no sign that he felt any excitement.

Yet, Ye Xuan’s tightly clenched fists betrayed his current state of mind and further proved the extent of his excitement.

How many years had it been?

Was it a full six thousand years?

For the purpose of seizing the Heavenly Throne, a full six thousand years had passed.

From the Human World to the Earth Immortal Realm, that year he first entered the Heavenly Court, he was only a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, an ant-like existence among the Three Realms.

Through conspiracies and traps, causing death across Heaven and Earth, fleeing for millions of li, clashing with various Immortals, and barely clinging to life under the suppression of the major Daoist sects, Ye Xuan continually told himself that he would one day rise up in the Three Realms and certainly sit upon the Heavenly Throne, earning the worship of all beings in the Three Realms.

Heaven does not fail the one who tries.

Today, six thousand years later, he finally ascended to the Heavenly Throne, with the group of Immortals bowing before him, and he could finally stand firm between Heaven and Earth, no longer the weak one of old.

Of course, ascending to the Heavenly Throne was just the beginning, for Ye Xuan knew that his road was still very long.

This was merely the start, but he believed that he was certainly not to be trifled with, like the Jade Emperor had been.

He would also let all beings in the Three Realms know that since Ye Xuan was now the lord of the Three Realms, then all living things must act according to his will.

Under the whole heaven, there is no land that is not the king’s.

To the borders of the land, there are none who are not the king’s subjects.

Lord of the Three Realms, respected by all creatures; as the Heavenly Emperor, he should be able to suppress all enemies in the world.

Without slaughter and coercion, and without oppressing the Daoist Immortals from various sects, as soon as the Saint’s Decree descended, the name of the Heavenly Emperor of Ye Xuan would become righteous.

If he were to continue the extensive bloodshed as in the past, that would not be what Ye Xuan wanted to do.

“A hundred years from now, I will ascend to the Heavenly Throne.

At that time, I ask all Daoist sects to gather in the Heavenly Court.”

Ye Xuan rose from the imperial seat and strolled toward the Dou Niu Palace, with Zhao Gongming and others quickly following behind, leaving the group of Immortals of the Turquoise Pool to sigh helplessly before they each rode their clouds away.

…

Inside the Dou Niu Palace.

The palace was roofless, and the stars filled the sky.

Ye Xuan sat high on the Heavenly Throne, with Zhao Gongming and the Golden Spirit Saint Mother standing to his side, while Emperor Ziwei and Shen Gongbao sat at Ye Xuan’s sides.

Apart from them, there were no other outsiders.

“Congratulations, Emperor, on ascending to the Heavenly Throne.

We of the Jie Sect will surely never betray you,” Zhao Gongming said, his face alight with excitement.

“Haha.”

Shen Gongbao stroked his beard and laughed heartily, “Zhao Gongming, my Daoist friend, it seems we must change our form of address.

We should indeed be calling him Heavenly Emperor Ye.”

“Indeed, indeed, it was I who was dull-witted,” Zhao Gongming slapped his forehead and said with a laugh.

“Golden Spirit Saint Mother pays her respects to Heavenly Emperor Ye.”

The Golden Spirit Saint Mother bowed, signifying her formal recognition of Ye Xuan and, indirectly, confirming that the lineage of the Jie Sect Daluo Golden Immortals had acknowledged Ye Xuan’s position as the Heavenly Emperor.

“Sain Mother, there is no need for excessive ceremony,” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

“May the Heavenly Emperor have clear insight.

Since the Sealing God Tribulation, our Jie Sect has been in decline, and I feared we would never again have a chance to rise.

But heaven has blessed our Jie Sect, and with you, Heavenly Emperor, emerging from nowhere, you will surely lead our Jie Sect to rise once more within the Three Realms,” the Golden Spirit Saint Mother sincerely expressed her sentiments.

Observing the solemn expression of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, Ye Xuan’s smile faded, knowing she had more to say, likely concerning the matters of the Jie Sect’s Daluo Golden Immortals.

As expected, after a brief pause, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother continued, “Since the Sealing God Tribulation, the immortals of our Jie Sect have either perished or been indicted by the Investiture of the Gods into spiritual beings.

Though endless time has passed and our Jie Sect has declined even further, there are still over a dozen Daluo Golden Immortals that remain alive.

I have already summoned them to come to the Heavenly Court, ready to assist the Heavenly Emperor in accomplishing great deeds.”

Following the Golden Spirit Saint Mother’s words, Ye Xuan nodded, recognizing that she was expressing the Jie Sect’s loyalty on their behalf.

“Sain Mother, rest assured, as long as the Jie Sect does not betray me, I will not let you down,” Ye Xuan said gravely, also implying to the Golden Spirit Saint Mother that as long as the Jie Sect remained loyal, he would certainly not treat them unfairly.

“Heavenly Emperor, now with much to be restored, the hearts of those in the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven are in turmoil.

Stabilizing their spirits is of utmost importance,” Zhao Gongming suggested.

Shen Gongbao nodded in agreement, adding, “Brother Gongming’s words are true.

To quell external strife, one must first establish internal stability.

Securing the morale of the Heavenly Court is the most pressing matter.”

As the two finished speaking, Ye Xuan showed no reaction but rather thoughtfully said, “The Heavenly Court is weak and has substance in name only.

These so-called immortals are too mediocre.

Even if there are those among them with insidious intentions, they are unworthy of fear.

Looking across the Heavenly Court, I scarcely see any at the Luotian Realm, let alone the so-called Daluo Golden Immortals.

I intend to expand the influence of the Heavenly Court and wonder what proposals you might have?”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Shen Gongbao and the others were slightly startled, clearly perceiving Ye Xuan’s immense ambition, which prompted Shen Gongbao to probe, “Heavenly Emperor, do you mean…?”

“Without distinction of sects, a summon for all immortals,” Ye Xuan said with a mysterious gaze, yet his voice remained calm.

“Hmm?”

As Ye Xuan’s words settled, astonishment was evident on the faces of those present, but the eyes of Shen Gongbao and the other Jie Sect immortals gleamed with indescribable fervor.

The source of the saying ‘Without distinction of sects, a summon for all immortals’ came from the Heavenly Sect Master.

Before the Great War of Sealing Gods, the Jie Sect could be considered the foremost Daoist authority in Heaven and Earth.

Even with the Chan Sect and Western Buddhism joining forces, they dared not claim they could completely overpower the Jie Sect.

Regardless of demons and ghosts or orthodox immortals, as long as one had skill and talent, they could join the Jie Sect, and the Heavenly Sect Master generously passed down Great Divine Powers to his disciples, earning the Jie Sect the reputation of having ‘a summon for all immortals’.

Although before the Sealing God Tribulation, the Jie Sect was the foremost Daoist authority, its inclusive policy meant that its disciples were of varied quality, which could be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Now, with Ye Xuan uttering the old slogan of the Jie Sect and advocating its founding principles, he undoubtedly had plans of his own.

Firstly, the Heavenly Court of the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven commanded all beings of the Three Realms but lacked the power to match.

Just look among that group of immortals, the highest Cultivation is merely at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and those at the Luotian Realm are few and far between.

Even among the Daluo Golden Immortals, there are only four Great Emperors, and the remaining Daluo immortals act independently, often unheeding the decrees.

It can be said that aside from some empty fame, the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven is incredibly weak within Heaven and Earth.

Of the four Great Emperors, the True Martial Emperor had been slain long ago, and the Hook Chen Emperor had vanished.

Now that Ye Xuan had ascended to the position of the Heavenly Emperor, only Emperor Ziwei remained.
