Chapter 544: The First Peach Banquet Begins
The thunder continued to fall.
The screams carried far.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace.
Haotian raised his hand and withdrew the decree.
The fortunes of the world continue to converge.
One after another, the power of water veins connects to the Heavenly Court from all directions.
Above the Lingxiao Palace, the Heavenly Court's fortune seemed to have increased considerably.
Haotian sat on his throne, his imperial majesty even more pronounced.
All the immortals and gods could sense that change.
Venus stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"The four sea veins flow into the Heavenly Court, Your Majesty's cultivation has advanced further."
Yaochi looked at Haotian.
"From this day forward, the Heavenly Court's fortunes will greatly increase."
Haotian nodded slightly.
"The feat of achieving immortality is indeed remarkable."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Your subject is merely acting under orders."
Haotian looked at him.
"One must be capable even when carrying out orders."
"If it were someone else who went to the East China Sea, they might not have made it this far."
Ao Guang said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng retrieved the Ancestral Dragon Pearl for the Dragon Clan and restored their rightful place."
"This kindness will never be forgotten by the world."
Haotian's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words "Ancestral Dragon Pearl".
"Has the Ancestral Dragon Pearl returned to the Dragon Clan?"
Ao Guang said, "That's right."
"This treasure suppresses the dragon clan's fortune."
"After the Dragon Clan returns to the Heavenly Court, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl will also stabilize the veins of the four seas."
Haotian nodded.
"it is good."
"The Dragon Clan's fortune is stable, and so is the Heavenly Court's Water Department."
Many immortals and gods in the hall exchanged glances secretly.
They then realized that Chen Changsheng's trip went far beyond simply surrendering.
The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas has the Ancestral Dragon Pearl to protect its fortune.
The Heavenly Court receives the influence of the four sea veins.
Chen Changsheng used the thunder punishment to establish his authority.
He brought back all the benefits from this trip to the East China Sea.
Haotian closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.
The Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit trembled.
The water vapor of the four seas circulates within the celestial realm's fortune.
His magical power increased accordingly, and the authority of the Heavenly Emperor became more solid.
But the next moment, a sense of helplessness arose in his heart.
Haotian slowly opened his eyes.
"pity."
Yaochi looked at him.
"Are you thinking about the Primordial Purple Qi?"
Haotian did not deny it.
"Even if the Heavenly Court's fortune increases further, it can only help me consolidate my status as the Heavenly Emperor."
"Without the Primordial Purple Qi, it will be difficult to become a sage."
Yaochi said, "The matter of the holy throne cannot be forced."
"If the Heavenly Court can truly rule the Three Realms, it may not be impossible to open up another path."
Haotian said, "I understand."
"It's just that the sages reside high above the heavens, and all religions still manage to overshadow the Heavenly Court."
"Today, the four seas have returned to Heaven; this is the first step in establishing the Heavenly Court's authority."
Chen Changsheng looked up.
"His Majesty wants the entire Three Realms to witness this step."
Haotian looked at him, his eyes filled with approval.
"good."
"Chang Sheng, I am preparing to hold a Peach Banquet."
What do you think?
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals and gods were visibly invigorated.
Yaochi also looked at Chen Changsheng.
Haotian continued, "The peaches of immortality are the spiritual roots of the Heavenly Court."
"If a grand assembly is to be held, immortals and gods from the Three Realms can be invited to heaven."
"At that time, the dragon clans of the four seas will be present, and the water department of the Heavenly Court will take their places."
"I want the entire world to know that the Heavenly Court is no longer the Heavenly Court that can be taken lightly as it once was."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's move is feasible."
"Once the Peach Banquet is held, the grandeur of the Heavenly Court can be displayed throughout the Three Realms."
"Whether other religions come or not, they must acknowledge the legitimacy of the Heavenly Court."
"If you come, then you will be treated with the proper etiquette of the Heavenly Court."
"If you don't come, the Three Realms will see who is disrespecting the Heavenly Court."
A divine light flashed in Haotian's eyes.
"it is good."
"Then a thousand years later, the Peach Banquet will be held."
Inside the Lingxiao Palace.
Even after Haotian set the date for the Peach Banquet, the fortunes of the Heavenly Court continued to fluctuate.
The return of the four sea veins to the Heavenly Court cannot be completely stabilized with just a few words.
Water vapor from the four directions—east, west, south, and north—rises from the primordial earth and flows into the sky through countless rivers and lakes.
At that moment, it seemed as if an invisible ocean had spread out above the Heavenly Court.
The immortals and gods looked up and saw the faint shadows of dragons moving among the sea of clouds.
Ao Guang and the other three felt it most deeply.
Their dragon aura was connected to the authority of the Heavenly Court, and a divine water deity of the Heavenly Court appeared between their brows.
Ao Guang took a deep breath.
He could sense that countless aquatic creatures on the East China Sea were looking up at the sky.
From then on, the four seas were no longer just the seas of dragons.
It is also the sea of the Heavenly Court's Water Department.
There are constraints, but also protections.
Ao Guang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the four seas have just been united, and the aquatic tribes still need to be appeased."
"We dare not linger in the Heavenly Court."
"Your Majesty, please grant us permission to return to the four seas, to reorganize the water department, and to proclaim this to all peoples."
Haotian looked at the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
His eyes retained their authority, but now held a hint of satisfaction.
"allow."
"After you return to the four seas, you shall use the laws of the Heavenly Court to bring peace to the aquatic creatures."
"If there is any disorder in the water veins, or if there is any evil spirit causing trouble, you may report to the Ministry of Water."
"I will order the heavenly troops to assist."
Ao Guang replied, "Your subject obeys the decree."
Ao Qin also cupped his hands and said, "The Dragon Clan of the South Sea will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust."
Ao Shun said, "The aquatic creatures of the North Sea have always been unruly. I will personally deal with them after I return."
Ao Run said in a deep voice, "The same goes for the Western Sea."
Chen Changsheng stood to the side, listening calmly to the words of the Four Seas Dragon King.
He knew that the dragons returning to the Heavenly Court was just the beginning.
The real challenge is what happens after things are back in their proper places.
Throughout the four seas, there are countless aquatic creatures.
Not every race is willing to be bound by the laws of the Heavenly Court.
Not every branch of the dragon race is willing to see the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas hand over their power to the Heavenly Court.
But these things no longer require Chen Changsheng to do personally.
He sent the dragons to the Heavenly Court.
Next, the dragons themselves must prove that they can secure their positions in the Water Department.
Haotian then looked at Chen Changsheng.
"Immortality".
"You have performed a great service this time. Is there anything you desire?"
The immortals and gods in the hall immediately looked over.
Many people's eyes flashed with envy.
The merit of returning to Heaven from all corners of the world is enough to warrant a great reward from the Jade Emperor.
If Chen Changsheng wanted spiritual treasures, a divine position, or the blessing of the Heavenly Court, Haotian would most likely grant his request.
Venus also looked at Chen Changsheng with a smile.
He wanted to know what this law-enforcing deity would say.
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Your subject wishes to return to the Hall of Law Enforcement for seclusion."
The immortals and gods in the hall were taken aback.
Haotian also raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Seclusion?"
Chen Changsheng said, "I have only recently entered the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal."
"Upon returning to Heaven this time, I realize that I still have many shortcomings."
"The Heavenly Court will hold the Peach Banquet afterward, and all the powerful beings from the Three Realms will enter the Heavenly Court."
"As a celestial being who enforces the law, if my cultivation is unstable, I will not be able to control the situation."
Upon hearing this, the Lingxiao Palace immediately fell silent.
Many immortals and gods felt a chill run down their spines.
That's when they remembered.
Chen Changsheng is already a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
But he still felt it wasn't enough.
Such a mindset is more frightening than temporary achievements.
Haotian's eyes showed even greater approval.
"it is good."
"I am pleased that you think this way."
"I grant you permission to return to the Hall of Law Enforcement for seclusion."
"Before the Peach Banquet, unless there is an important matter, no one may disturb your cultivation."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yaochi spoke up, saying, "The Peach Banquet is a matter of great importance to the Heavenly Court's reputation."
"If the Hall of Law Enforcement wants to maintain order at the assembly, it can also set rules in advance."
Chen Changsheng said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured."
