Immediately after, in the northern sky, stars appeared in broad daylight.
The stars of the Zhou Heaven shone brilliantly, especially with the North Pole as the center. The Ziwei Emperor Star was dazzling, shedding infinite star-glow that complemented the purple Qi, paving a magnificent grand path of interwoven starlight and purple Qi above the The name associated with the treasure sky, extending from an endless height and pointing directly to the location of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace.
Celestial music rang out from the distance, neither strings nor bamboo, but the voice of the Great Dao. Hearing it brought peace to the mind. Phantoms of golden lotuses bloomed from the Void Realm, and the shadows of cranes and auspicious birds swirled around. This scene of endless auspiciousness felt as if one had seen the supreme holy realm of legend.
"This is the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi... the phenomenon of the Zhou Heaven Stars!"
"Legends say that in ancient times, when various great powers established their Daoist arenas, Saints would occasionally manifest. Today, it can be said that legends have become reality."
"With such a grand display, which sacred being is descending?"
"It must be for that lord. Rumor has it that even the Heavenly Court wants to befriend him!"
The trillions of living beings in the Lingxu Immortal Domain were all shocked by this earth-shaking phenomenon. They looked up at the sky one after another, their excitement beyond words.
Even the leaders of those great forces had never seen such a scene, as if they were seeing the legendary flourishing Immortal Realm of ancient times.
After a while, the Middle Heaven Ziwei North Pole God Emperor manifested a phantom, wearing an Imperial Crown and Robe, with the sea of stars in his eyes, wielding the authority of the Zhou Heaven Stars, his majesty unparalleled.
Another figure manifested, his whole body shrouded in a holy glow that was clear and brilliant, cleansing all evil. He wore majestic imperial robes, his Face ancient and solemn. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, there seemed to be the phenomenon of lightning being born and extinguished. His aura was upright and grand, carrying the supreme will to guard heaven and earth and slay demons. He was none other than the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God, who held the authority over the criminal laws of the Heavenly Court!
Two God Emperors of the Heavenly Court arriving together was of no small significance; it represented the Heavenly Court's high regard for Han Xuanji!
Their God Emperor Dharma Body phantoms reflected in the sky of the Immortal Realm, appearing infinitely large, making the Cultivators of the entire Lingxu Immortal Domain so excited they could hardly contain themselves. Some even prostrated themselves toward the sky.
Usually, Grand Unity Golden Immortals are as elusive as dragons, and Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Experts are already legends. Now, the appearance of two supreme God Emperors of the Heavenly Court caused countless people to marvel. As for the true bodies of these two, they had already arrived at the Lingxu Heavenly Palace and met with the high-level members of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace.
The Lingxu Main Hall, usually solemn and not easily opened, had its doors wide open today, surrounded by celestial light. The first seats of the seven main lineages of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace, as well as Ancestor Shenhui and other Grand Elders and core Elders, were lined up on both sides of the hall, their excitement and nervousness hard to hide.
Even though they had lived for so many years and were used to storms, facing the two Heavenly Court God Emperors who were about to officially visit, they felt an unprecedented pressure and glory.
Outside the hall, the purple Qi and star-glow had not yet completely dispersed, making the entire Lingxu Heavenly Palace look as if it were cast from glass and celestial crystals, holy and extraordinary. Before long, without any earth-shaking commotion, two figures quietly appeared outside the palace doors.
It was the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God and the Middle Heaven Ziwei North Pole God Emperor, who had restrained their auras but still naturally radiated supreme dao-rhythm.
They did not deliberately release pressure, but the gap originating from their level of existence and Dao status made everyone in the hall subconsciously hold their breath and bow:
"Everyone in the Lingxu Heavenly Palace welcomes the arrival of the two God Emperors!"
The voices were orderly, carrying awe from the bottom of their hearts. They also knew that the personal arrival of these two God Emperors was entirely out of respect for Han Xuanji. Emperor Ziwei, surrounded by star-glow, nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice:
"Fellow Daoists, there is no need for such ceremony. Today we come by the decree of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor for official business, but also for personal friendship. Do not be too constrained."
Emperor Yuzhen's gaze was like lightning as he scanned the hall. He took a step forward, facing the high-level members of The name associated with the treasure, and even slightly cupped his hands, getting straight to the point:
"Fellow Daoists of the human cultivators alliance , your contributions in guarding the Immortal Domain and fighting the Demon Race are indispensable.
Especially when the Demon Tribulation suddenly arrived earlier, you all faced danger without fear, defended the territory to the death, and protected trillions of living beings. Such achievements and responsibility are clear to the Heavenly Court."
He paused, his tone becoming more solemn, even carrying a hint of frank apology:
"However, due to poor internal communication in the Heavenly Court previously, the actions of Yue Tian and others may have been inappropriate, failing to provide The Human Cultivators Alliance with the necessary help in time and instead causing some disturbances.
This is the fault of my lack of strict management and poor consideration. Here, I apologize to all Fellow Daoists of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked! The first seats, such as Immortal Venerable Yuheng, and the veterans, such as Ancestor Shenhui, were all stunned.
They never expected that someone as distinguished as the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God would actually apologize to them, to the entire Lingxu Heavenly Palace, in person!
Although he said "the actions of Yue Tian and others were inappropriate," everyone knew that this was giving them immense Face! They also just realized Han Xuanji's current weight.
Even though Han Xuanji did not make any statement, his mere presence could bring them infinite benefits.
Two big figures from the Heavenly Court personally coming to apologize was something they had never dared to imagine before.
After a short shock, Ancestor Shenhui, as the representative, hurriedly bowed deeply, his voice trembling slightly:
"God Emperor, you overstate it! This is too much for us!"
"Divine General Yue Tian was also performing his duties. The majesty of the Heavenly Court is vast. To receive such inquiry and understanding is already The name associated with the treasure's supreme honor. How could we dare to accept the word 'apologize'!"
Others also chimed in. To put it bluntly, the others came to apologize out of respect for Han Xuanji. If they were to be insolent, that would be extremely foolish. Even if Han Xuanji found out, he would probably think they lacked a sense of propriety.
Emperor Yuzhen waved his hand, his expression unchanged:
"Rewards and punishments for merits and faults are part of the Heavenly Court's laws. Faults should be punished, and merits should also be rewarded."
With a wave of his hand, a phantom of a decree surrounded by thick golden light of Heavenly Dao Karma and pure celestial Qi appeared in mid-air. He said loudly:
"By the order of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor: The Lingxu Immortal Domain has guarded the border. In this Demon Tribulation, everyone worked together to protect the land and the people, manifesting the righteous Qi of the Immortal Dao. Specifically, ten wisps of 'Heavenly Dao Karma Purple Qi' are bestowed to help you perceive the Heavenly Dao and repair Spiritual Veins;"
"Ten 'Supreme Nine-Revolution Golden Cores,' a hundred measures of 'Million-Year Immortal Marrow,' and ten thousand catties of 'Star Immortal Gold' are bestowed... as rewards. We hope you will continue your efforts to jointly guard the peace of the Immortal Realm!"
Following his words, phantoms of rewarding items with hazy light and amazing auras appeared beside the decree. Each item was enough to make a Grand Unity Golden Immortal's eyes turn red with envy, and those Materials were enough to raise the Foundation of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace to another level!
Especially that "Heavenly Dao Karma Purple Qi," it had immeasurable benefits for repairing Spiritual Veins and for cultivating and comprehending the Dao!
The people of The name associated with the treasure were also stunned by these generous rewards. After a moment, they thanked him in unison:
"We thank His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor for his great grace!"
Emperor Ziwei also spoke gently at this time:
"In addition, I observed that the operation of the Star Constellation Array in the Lingxu Immortal Domain is slightly sluggish, likely due to the lingering effects of the great war."
"Later, I will personally take action to regulate the Zhou Heaven Star Power and draw in the Big Dipper Essence to help you reshape the Foundation of the Star Constellation Array. In the future, cultivating and setting up arrays will yield twice the result with half the effort."
This was an even more unexpected surprise. Emperor Ziwei personally regulating the Star Power was an Opportunity that could be sought but not easily found!
After the rewards were given, the two God Emperors maintained a gentle attitude and had a simple conversation with the high-level members of The name associated with the treasure, asking about the current situation of the Immortal Domain. Their tone was peaceful, without any condescension.
After the two God Emperors expressed their desire to visit the Myriad Phenomena Garden to meet the Xuantian Dao Venerable and declined the Lingxu Heavenly Palace's proposal for a banquet, they were led by Li Taiqing out of the Lingxu Main Hall and went straight to the Myriad Phenomena Garden.
