Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1485: Chapter 1211: Generous Rewards (Part 2)

“Once inside the Palace of the Polestar, do not make a sound!” Xiaoqing had already seen the towering, magnificent palace and hurriedly reminded them.

Even with the earlier warning, the three of them almost couldn’t hold back a gasp of astonishment after entering the Palace of the Polestar.

Surrounding the grand palace were swirling mists and dazzling golden light. On the massive pillars, countless lifelike dragons and phoenixes were intricately carved. The floor was paved with rare high-grade Spirit Jade, and a myriad of rarely seen treasures from the outside world were casually displayed, making everyone envious at the sight.

“Huff huff—”

Li Xianxun and Li Yunran breathed heavily, striving to calm their stirred mental state.

Though both had attained the level of Individual Immortal above the common multitude, they seemed particularly insignificant when facing even a single Spiritual Object within this grand hall.

As for Da Qing? With his unwavering mental state and steadfast Dao Heart, he was completely unaffected.

“Not bad at all, being able to swiftly calm your mental state when faced with these Spiritual Objects, without being overwhelmed by greed.” Xiaoqing’s voice echoed in their minds.

“This is the place.”

Once inside the hall, the group finally stopped in front of a cloud bed.

Their current position was conspicuously at the forefront of the seats in the Realm of Human Immortality.

Instantly, it drew countless inquisitive and curious gazes, but no one foolishly spoke out. After all, each cloud bed had long been assigned to its owner; if someone sat randomly, the cloud bed would vanish, causing immense embarrassment in front of everyone.

Under normal circumstances, only Li Mingyao was a Human Immortal, and merely at the early stage of Human Immortality, thus unqualified to sit here.

But who could blame them for having Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, two great figures, as their backing?

And who didn’t know that these two Star Lords were to be heavily relied upon by the Heavenly Emperor?

If their cultivation were not lacking, they might have been assigned to an even more prominent position.

Just look at the seating of Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo; although seemingly behind the Heavenly Immortals, they were actually just half a step lower!

And sitting alongside them were only a few brothers of Ziwei.

It should be noted that among this group of Star Lords, only Gouchen was at the late stage of Earth Immortality, while the others were merely in the Realm of Human Immortality, yet they were placed ahead of many Earth Immortals, highlighting their importance in Ziwei’s eyes.

Before long, the cloud beds in the Palace of the Polestar filled with beings from all factions of life—Immortal Tao, Human Dao, Devil Race, Demonic Tao, Sea Clan; each major power had sent representatives.

Dong dong dong—

As the auspicious hour arrived, a bell imbued with Dao Rhyme sounded throughout the Heavenly Court, continuing to spread until it reverberated across the whole world.

Adorned with the Twelve-Streamed Crown and dressed in the Twelve Symbols Mysterious Robe, Ziwei slowly emerged, accompanied by a vast and magnificent galaxy. Countless stars shone brightly one after another, highlighting his grandeur and majesty even more.

“Under the Heavenly Dao, I, Ziwei, am graced by Heaven’s favor, nominated by all divine beings to ascend to the Heavenly Emperor’s position. Henceforth, I shall act with absolute diligence, protect the heavens and earth, and promote world ascension…”

Before the eyes of all, Ziwei proclaimed loudly with passion, as if the Heavenly Dao truly appeared and was watching this moment.

With a resounding boom, the Heavenly Dao responded to this declaration.

If not achieved, though there would be no immediate divine retribution, the Heavenly Dao would certainly make a note of it, and there might be a reckoning someday.

An overwhelming and sovereign pressure erupted instantly. Many beings with lower cultivation or weaker Dao Heart found themselves unable to resist before this pressure, fainting outright.

At the same time, the benefits were apparent—Ziwei could feel his cultivation continually rising, with a significant enhancement in his control over the Heavenly Court.

Even if he still remained an Earth Immortal, with the power of the Heavenly Court, he now possessed the strength to battle a Heavenly Immortal!

If he were to breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal, would he not be the mightiest among them, save for those reclusive ancient monsters?

However, now was not the moment to consider those matters, for when he breaks through, it would become clear, leaving no need to speculate now, as it lay not far ahead.

“I thank you all for attending this grand assembly; if there were any inadequacies in reception, please bear with me.”

With that, he raised his cup and drank it straight away.

As the Spiritual Wine descended his throat, Ziwei’s demeanor underwent a transformation, his luxurious and ornate attire reverting to his usual clothing, making it impossible to tell he was the Heavenly Emperor, who governed the Heavenly Court, carried out the Heavenly Dao, and managed the three realms.

Yet the tense atmosphere in the hall dissipated like melting snow in spring.

The clinking of glasses and laughter filled the air, bringing much liveliness.

However, it had nothing to do with the youngsters Li Xianxun and Li Yunran, who were just burying their heads in eating, their Mana rapidly increasing.

The Spiritual Objects on the table were rare treasures not often seen, yet their hosts had generously laid out so many.

By the end of the feast, the two were still a bit reluctant to leave.

Even more disappointing for them was that none of the Spiritual Objects contained Spirit Seeds; they had long since had their Spirit Seeds merged with them through spells.

If only there were Spirit Seeds, they could enjoy such marvelous and precious Spiritual Objects again in the future.

As everyone dispersed, only the Divine beings remained in the hall.

“Now that I have become Heavenly Emperor, the position of one out of the six Emperors is vacant. I believe that Gouchen Star Lord is the best candidate. He can surely manage the Star Gods well, making them the third barrier of the Primal Spirit Realm, and converting vast amounts of Spiritual Energy from The Void.”

No one present spoke, not even Ao De or others, for this was Ziwei’s first decree after becoming Heavenly Emperor. If they opposed, they would likely be noted and eventually face consequences.

Besides, the deeper meaning in Ziwei’s words was clear to everyone.

But…

Many Divine beings turned their gaze to Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, eager to see their reaction upon hearing this news.

However, much to everyone’s disappointment, the two showed no emotion. They didn’t care in the slightest, and even seemed to welcome such an arrangement.

Subsequently, Ziwei rearranged some of the Divine beings’ positions and dealt with certain unruly Divine beings. Throughout these proceedings, he never mentioned their names.

This peculiar situation piqued the curiosity of many other Divine beings, stirring their imaginations—could there have been a conflict between the parties?

Yet soon, their assumptions were disproved.

“I know both Star Lords favor tranquility and wish not to be entangled in too many trivial matters; hence, I shall not bestow them a Divine Position, but reward them with some Spiritual Objects.”

The Spiritual Objects were presented one after another, each radiating a dazzling Spirit Light, each worth a fortune, including some exceptionally rare treasures in the world, all gifted to the two.

It wasn’t only Human Immortal and Individual Immortal Divine beings who were envious, even Earth Immortal Divine beings found themselves longing, none of them expected Ziwei to be so lavishly generous!

“This… is truly too precious; we feel undeserving of such a gift.” Li Chengsheng declined.

“These are but worldly possessions; what’s so undeserving?”

Ziwei shook his head, firmly placing the Spiritual Objects into their possession.

“Then we shall sheepishly accept them.”

Refusing further would only make other Divine beings more envious.

Moreover, it was to repay past karmic debts, coupled with Ziwei’s own gratitude, thus the value of these Spiritual Objects directly multiplied.

Soon, the grand assembly came to a complete close.

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, along with their subordinate gods, promptly returned to the Divine Domain, without even having time to greet their clansmen, resolute in their decision to not step outside the Divine Domain for a long time to come.

…

Elsewhere, Xiaoqing and others found the waiting Da Qing, and together they returned to Mount Wanxian.

During their journey, they spoke of the lavish rewards Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo received—the various precious Spiritual Objects, rendering their companions in awe time and again.

Upon returning to their clan lands, they surprisingly found no one waiting for their arrival, as if little importance was placed on the news this time.

After all, what event could occur at a celebration banquet? Is it not just eating, drinking, followed by acknowledging merits?

For Li Zhirui, ever since Ziwei emerged victorious, this matter had concluded, and the subsequent developments warranted little attention.
