Chapter 227

they naturally no longer looked down on the Heavenly Court.

With the combined efforts of Haotian and the Divine Dao incarnation,

they had already recruited many loose cultivators of the Primordial World, becoming the foundation for the Heavenly Court's further strengthening.

Of course, there were still many with decent strength who were still watching from the sidelines.

As long as the Heavenly Court could continue to increase its prestige,

he believed that more and more experts would come to defect.

Moreover, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the starry world became increasingly rich,

many people also wanted to enter it to cultivate.

However, the prerequisite was to join the Heavenly Court or be under the command of the Great Emperor Ziwei to be eligible.

This was also a benefit Hongxuan had specifically arranged for himself back then.

Because of this, over these years, the talent under the Ziwei Imperial Palace was quite good.

Establishing a few immortal armies was still very good!

The talents Hongxuan had carefully recruited back then, except for those who had fallen, had mostly achieved significant promotions.

This gave Hongxuan a slight sense of comfort.

His previous efforts had not been in vain after all.

Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Hongxuan had returned, and the Divine Dao incarnation automatically returned to the main body.

Hongxuan sat high on the imperial throne, accepting the worship of the ministers below.

"We, your ministers, pay our respects to the Emperor; may the Emperor live for ten thousand years!"

"Rise. Not bad; it seems you have not been slack in your usual duties. It was not in vain that I spent such huge resources to cultivate you!"

"However, you must continue to improve; your current cultivation base still cannot meet my requirements for you!"

"Yes, Emperor! We, your ministers, will absolutely not let the Emperor down!"

Hongxuan nodded; the progress was acceptable.

In the future, some minor matters could be left to them.

But for those more difficult tasks, they would be powerless.

Even if they really went, it would likely be sending them to their deaths.

It was just that he didn't know how his other "subordinate" was doing now.

He had previously ordered Daoist Jin Fu to establish a chamber of commerce; he wondered what the scale was now!

Most importantly, to what level had Daoist Jin Fu's cultivation recovered?

There were some things that it was time to order him to handle!

"Reporting to the Emperor, Taibai Jinxing is outside the hall requesting an audience!"

"Oh? Taibai Jinxing? Isn't he a close minister beside the Great Heavenly Venerable? What is he doing coming to the Ziwei Imperial Palace?"

"Proclaim him into the hall!"

"Yes, Emperor!"

Soon, an old man with white hair and the demeanor of an immortal walked in.

"Minister Taibai Jinxing pays respects to the Great Emperor Ziwei!"

"I remember, you seem to be transformed from the spirit of a star, right?"

As soon as Taibai Jinxing entered the hall, Hongxuan inexplicably felt a trace of familiarity.

Especially the star aura emanating from the other party, which made Hongxuan understand instantly.

"Minister is indeed transformed from the spirit of the Taibai Star!"

"Taibai pays respects to the Lord of All Stars; may the Star Lord be safe!"

Compared to the status of the Great Emperor Ziwei, Hongxuan's status as the Lord of All Stars made Taibai Jinxing even more reverent and respectful!

Taibai Jinxing's origin belonged to the star category.

And Hongxuan, as the noble Lord of All Stars, naturally had higher authority than him.

How could he dare to have the slightest bit of disrespect?

Hongxuan nodded faintly.

This guy was Haotian's confidant, and he had no intention of poaching him.

As long as this guy didn't do anything harmful to him in the future, Hongxuan would treat him calmly.

"No need for formalities. Taibai, you came to my Ziwei Palace; is there something the matter?"

"Returning to the Great Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable has an important matter and would like to invite the Great Emperor to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to discuss it!"

"Oh? Since that is the case, you go back first. I will finish all the matters here and then head over immediately!"

"Yes, Great Emperor, Taibai takes his leave!"

On the other side.

Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Haotian and Yaochi were each sitting in their own seats.

"Taibai, how did the Great Emperor Ziwei respond?"

"Returning to the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Great Emperor Ziwei has already agreed. After he finishes handling his affairs, he will immediately come to discuss with the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

"Oh? Not bad. It seems the Great Emperor Ziwei is still very reasonable!"

"Since the Great Emperor Ziwei returned to his position, he has contributed many times to the Heavenly Court, and even more so, caused the Heavenly Court's fortune to rise greatly."

"He even caused countless loose cultivators of the Primordial World to join the Heavenly Court."

"I cannot just watch; it is time for me to contribute as well!"

Haotian said in an inexplicable tone, then his expression shifted as he looked at Taibai:

"Taibai, your judgment has always been good. After seeing the Great Emperor Ziwei, what do you think of his current strength?"

"Returning to the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Great Emperor Ziwei is already a Quasi-Saint; this humble minister is merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal, how could I see through him?!"

"The Great Heavenly Venerable is being too modest with this humble minister!"

Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly.

He did have some judgment, but when he saw Hongxuan before, he only felt as if he were facing the entire universe, vast and infinitely large.

Immediately afterward, it returned to calm.

As if it were an illusion.

Looking at the Great Emperor Ziwei again, he seemed like an ordinary mortal.

But Taibai Jinxing would not believe this was an illusion.

Undoubtedly, the Great Emperor Ziwei was extremely terrifying.

Even compared to the Great Heavenly Venerable, he was only stronger, not weaker.

Of course, he absolutely could not say this out loud! ===== CHAPTER 228 =====
