Sect Master Xia’s words—no, Xia ng’s words silenced the crowd. What did the leader of the Buzhou Immortal Sect an by this? Rather, why would the Buzhou Immortal Sect disband after conquering the entire Huang Realm? Almost everyone entered a stupor, unable to process what they just heard. However, a few sharp individuals linked the legends circulating in the Huang Realm and ford a hypothesis.
Xia ng ignored the bewildered and probing gaze of the spectators. He turned his back on them and held three sticks of lit incense in his hands. “Heaven and Earth, from henceforth, I announce the reestablishnt of the Immortal Court!”
As if responding to Xia ng’s words, the sky darkened as black clouds gathered above Primordial Mountain. The audience felt a sense of danger. This was especially so for those under the Immortal Realm. Punishnt lightning crackled, as if waiting for the chance to descend and punish the forr Buzhou Immortal Sect.
However, Xia ng ignored the heavenly punishnt like he ignored the crowds below. No matter who it was, today, they could only act as backdrops for the revival of the Immortal Court.
A decrepit old scroll appeared in Xia ng’s hand. Despite its sad state, it still exuded a pressure on all those who laid eyes on it. Even Sect Master Xia felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Still, he pressured on. “Co forth, Priwood.”
“I am present.” An elderly immortal appeared under everyone’s gaze. Had he not moved, few, if any, would have noticed his presence. He had a head full of white hair, and his skin was dry like bark. He exuded an aura of an immortal emperor, but it was very weak. Stronger than his aura was the death qi surrounding him. With no accident, the ancient immortal likely only had a few years left.
“Are you willing to beco the Immortal Minister of Works and wholeheartedly serve the Immortal Court?”
Priwood clasped his hand. “I am willing!”
The mont he confird, two events happened simultaneously. First, the scroll in Xia ng’s hand emitted a brilliant light that entered Priwood’s body. Second, a bolt of heavenly punishnt descended, but before it could land, a barrier appeared and blocked it. However, the punishnt lightning dispersed and attempted to find a weak point in the barrier.
Xia ng ignored the heavenly punishnt and looked at all the immortals present. “Aren’t you going to congratulate Minister Priwood on his appointnt?”
The immortals woke up from their stupor. They could sense the power of the heavenly punishnt, and even a stray shot could kill the average immortal monarch. Fear and anger coursed through their veins at how the forr Buzhou Immortal Sect brought such danger to them. Still, despite questioning Xia ng’s strange actions, they still obeyed.
“““Congratulations to Minister Priwood for becoming the Immortal Minister of Works!”””
The ordinary immortal monarchs and true immortals watched in shock as the roots of Minister Priwood’s hair turned black. Like a waterfall, the black color spread, causing all the hair on his body to take on a healthy black sheen. Not only that, his skin turned ruddy and his form fleshed out, returning him to his pri. At the end, a powerful vitality emanated from his body.
An immortal emperor at the cusp of his lifespan had regained his youth and extended his vitality. Such a scene shocked all those watching.
As for those immortal monarchs close to reaching the Extremity Immortal Realm and scant few immortal emperors, they turned their head toward the sky. They almost couldn’t sense it, but they were sure that the heavenly punishnt had weakened. An idea entered their mind, but they didn’t dare to finish the thought.
Xia ng ignored the thoughts of those below. After Minister Priwood retreated and stood at one of the six pre-arrange locations, he called out the next na. “Co forth, Vastlight.”
Another immortal emperor nearing the end of his lifespan ca forward. “Are you willing to beco the Immortal Minister of Revenue and wholeheartedly serve the Immortal Court?”
“I am willing!”
As with Minister Priwood, a white light shot out of the glowing scroll and entered his body, while another bolt of heavenly punishnt descended. However, the barrier held strong, and under Xia ng’s gaze, the immortals congratulated the new Immortal Minister of Revenue.
The newly appointed Immortal Minister of Revenue regained his youth and stood in one of the five positions near Minister Priwood.
“Co forth, Huang Feihong.”
Unlike the previous two immortal emperors, Huang Feihong was a Seamless Immortal and the head elder of the War Hall. Still, he stepped forward and saluted Xia ng. Obviously, everything had already been pre-arranged.
“Are you willing to beco the Immortal Minister of War and wholeheartedly serve the Immortal Court?” Xia ng asked.
“I am willing,” Huang Feihong said. Once he finished speaking, the scroll in Xia ng’s hand released a brilliant light, but it didn’t shoot out a light and rge with the new minister. However, all the experts could sense an air of change surrounding the new Immortal Minister of War. Without a doubt, it wouldn’t take long for him to enter the Extremity Immortal Realm—at most a thousand years.
Although they didn’t know why the scroll in Xia ng’s hand didn’t treat Huang Feihong the sa, they didn’t ask, nor did they have the qualifications to know. After Huang Feihong’s appointnt, Xia ng appointed the Appointnt Hall’s Head Elder Brightwing as the Immortal Minister of Rites. Like the new Minister of War, Brightwing was also a peak immortal monarch with plenty of longevity left. And like him, he would also reach the Extremity Immortal Realm within a thousand years.
“Co forth, Eternal Night.”
At Xia ng’s words, Grand Elder Eternal Night appeared. His appearance made the eyes of the immortals that had originally been part of the Anti-Earth Alliance and Cultivator Alliance shine with brilliance. As they hoped, Xia ng conferred him the position of Immortal Minister of Justice.
In the newly established Immortal Court, there would be six first-ranked ministers. Five had been filled, and only the most crucial and important Minister of Appointnt was left. All the audience craned their necks and focused their eyes, waiting to see who would fill this important position. Alas, it was a na none of them recognized.
“Co forth, Everpast.”
Once Everpast appeared, none of the immortals present took him lightly. Like the first two immortal emperors, he exuded death qi, and was obviously reaching the end of his lifespan. But unlike them, this was an immortal sovereign. The Buzhou Immortal Sect always had immortal emperors, but they never always had immortal sovereigns, so they were able to recognize them more easily.
After Everpast accepted the position of Immortal Minister of Appointnts, his white hair turned grey. Although wrinkles covered his face, his skin had beco tender, like a newborn infant. After thanking Xia ng, he took his place among his fellow first-rate ministers.
After appointing all six ministers for the six ministries, sweat soaked Xia ng’s robes, but he soldiered on. The decrepit scroll in his hand had taken a whiter tone, and no longer looked as ancient as before. He gritted his teeth and said, “Co forth, Fiendclaw.”
An immortal monarch stepped forward, and Sect Master Xia appointed him as one of the two Vice Ministers of War. Next, he appointed the rest of the twelve second-ranked vice ministers. After that ca the appointnts of the third-ranked junior ministers. From there, Sect Master Xia conferred the positions of fourth-ranked officials to ninth-ranked officials. All of them were mbers of the Buzhou Immortal Sect or related to the Buzhou Immortal Sect, such as the Nihility Sect that had disbanded and formally rged with the Buzhou Immortal Sect.
“The Immortal Official Confernt Ceremony is now over!” Xia ng said, his voice reverberated throughout Primordial Mountain. Not just the tallest peak, but it spread through the rest of the Immortal Court and to the rest of the continent. When he appointed each immortal, their image would resonate with all the lifeforms of the Huang Realm, be it human or beast.
However, Xia ng’s action didn’t stop. He threw the ragged but pristine and holy scroll into the air. The scroll emitted a brilliant radiance and rged with the floating landmass. Simultaneously, the newly conferred first to ninth-ranked officials floated into the sky. They pierced the boundary of the realm and disappeared. The mont they did so, the heavenly punishnt weakened and dispersed. Even a child could feel that the heavens of the Huang Realm had changed.
“I thank everyone today for attending the first confernt ceremony,” Xia ng said, arousing the curiosity and interest of those present. “Now, aside from a few crucial positions, there are still so vacancies, such as the twenty-eight mansion star lords and the four weather lords. However, the Immortal Court is currently lacking in talent. I’m hoping that a few Daoists will volunteer and assu those positions.”
His words imdiately sent a frenzy through the guest immortal monarchs and true immortals. Once those that neared their lifespan heard of this, they would imdiately pay almost any cost to attain a position. Facts had already proven that assuming an immortal position would extend if not grant eternal life. For true immortals and immortal monarchs, they aid at upgrading capabilities an official position would grant them. They had already seen how Minister Huang Feihong and Brightwing showed signs of stepping into the next realm. Disregarding them, there were many immortal monarchs who showed signs of advancing, even if it wasn’t to the Extremity Immortal Realm.
Although Xia ng’s words seed pleading, there was no doubt a price had to be paid. However, so what? If there were enough benefits, many were willing to pay the price. Without a doubt, the immortals present and those in seclusion would co into conflict to secure a position.
Xia ng smiled. “The next Immortal Official Confernt Ceremony is still a few hundreds years away. No rush.”
The mouths of the immortals who heard Xia ng’s words couldn’t help but twitch. To a mortal, a few hundred years were incredibly long, but to them, it was too short!
Regardless of their thoughts, Xia ng had no thoughts about changing the deadline. He didn’t have a choice, and it depended on Tianyi’s speed. Just as he was about to speak his next words, he looked up. Not just him, but everyone stared at the sky.
The original argent sky transford into two swirls, one black and one white. In the thickest part of the white swirl was a black dot and vice versa on the black swirl. Xia ng glanced toward Tianyi, who averted his gaze and coughed into his fist.
Xia ng’s lips twitched. “It’s already late. Once everyone has rested tonight, we can start the celebrations tomorrow. For now, I hope everyone has a good night’s rest.”
“What happened?” Xia ng asked once everyone dispersed.
“It’s not a big problem,” Tianyi said. “I kinda started gaining insight into the Law of Yin and the Law of Yang. I'm currently attempting to rge my insights into the Huang Realm.”
“There won’t be any accidents, will there?” Xia ng asked.
“Of course not,” Tianyi said. “If there was going to be anything wrong, I wouldn’t have done so.”
Xia ng sighed in relief. Although he felt a bit annoyed, he was helpless. The upgrade of the Huang Realm hinged on Tianyi. They could also do another way, but they would require far more resources and ti. It was just better to have Tianyi accomplish the task. “What will be the changes?”
“Maybe a few hundred or a thousand years, but the new realm should be far more powerful. Only a divine-ranked realm would be more powerful,” Tianyi said with confidence.
Xia ng nodded. “That’s good.”
“Sect Master Xia—”
“I’ve already relinquished the position. I’m no longer the sect master. Senior Everpast will manage the Immortal Court for now,” Xia ng said.
“Senior Xia, then,” Tianyi said. “The Young Heavens Tournant will still happen, right?”
“Of course.” Xia ng stared at Tianyi. “What’s wrong? Did soone catch your interest?”
“You can say that,” Tianyi said as a mischievous smile appeared on his face. “Can you give the right to control the rounds?
