Chapter 223: Stumbling into Good Fortune

After listening, Yin He's eyes lit up, and he immediately pressed for an answer.

"Speak quickly, what cultivation resources have the immortals of the Mysterious Gate bestowed?"

The envoy smiled slightly, a flash of light appeared in their hand, and a Small World filled with countless cultivation resources floated out of thin air above their palm.

No! It should be a void space! A mere Small World could not possibly contain the cultivation resources for the entire army of a high-level Imperial Dynasty.

Such massive resources.

Only a portable void space with a size comparable to a Great World could satisfy this.

Seeing this, the envoy smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty Taixuan, these are the cultivation resources prepared for Taixuan by Kunlun Superior of the Mysterious Gate, containing one trillion Upper Grade Flying Swords, one trillion Upper Grade Treasure Clothing, one trillion Upper Grade Jade Talismans, one hundred billion Top Grade Three-Piece Sets, thirty thousand sets of Lower Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasures, thirty sets of Middle Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasures, ten quadrillion Spirit Stones of various grades, over one hundred million Immortal Crystals, as well as hundreds of trillions of various medicinal pills and one hundred sets of Advanced Battle Formations and Secret Methods."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Taking the void Small World, Yin He laughed repeatedly in great joy.

The many ministers standing to the side also slowly let out a sigh of relief.

In truth.

They knew very well in their hearts that this bit of resource aid did not actually amount to much for them, nor could it help Taixuan with much.

What truly concerned them was the attitude of the Mysterious Gate.

Being able to provide so much aid indicated that the Mysterious Gate did not intend to abandon the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

And they, the ministers of this contemporary dynasty, still had time to hurry and seek the Proof of Rice for Yongheng.

At this moment.

Yin He, having finished checking the resources, calmed his mind, nodded, and then asked urgently.

"Envoy, besides resources, has Kunlun Superior said when reinforcements will be sent to assist our Taixuan?"

The envoy shook their head and said calmly.

"Your Majesty Taixuan, when necessary, the Mysterious Gate can only block interference from the God Race for you, but the invasion by the Dashang Dynasty must be resisted by the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty using its own strength."

Hearing this, the Taixuan court was suddenly somewhat disappointed.

Although they did not fully understand the great war between the Dazhou Dynasty and the Dayu Dynasty, they thought to themselves.

How similar the situation between Taixuan and Dashang was to the situation between Dayu and Dazhou.

Since the Dayu Dynasty could safely withstand the attack from the Dazhou Dynasty with the help of the God Race, they imagined the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty could also withstand the attack from the Dashang Dynasty with the help of the Mysterious Gate.

After all.

The six saints of the Heavenly Rice and the Mysterious Gate Three Teachings were super-powers comparable to the Divine Court and the God Race! Thinking of this, Yin He asked persistently, unwilling to give up.

"Does the Mysterious Gate have no other aid for Taixuan besides resource assistance?"

"Naturally, that is not the case!"

The envoy Bi smiled faintly.

"The Superior said that as long as the Dashang Dynasty army makes any large-scale movements, the reinforcements Taixuan needs will arrive at the critical moment!"

"With them present, they will be a surprise force hidden by the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty!"

"Besides that..."

Pausing, the envoy Bi looked around and said nothing more.

Yin He and several ministers saw this, and their eyes all lit up.

Yin He even stood up, flicked his sleeves, and shouted.

"Court dismissed!"

"The Prime Minister, the General-in-Chief, the Clan Elder, and the High Priest are to remain!"

After all the civil and military officials respectfully left the court, only Yin He, the envoy Bi, and four others remained in the entire palace.

Immediately, Yin He narrowed his eyes and activated the restrictions throughout the great hall.

After doing all this, he looked at the envoy Bi.

"Envoy Bi, what is 'besides that'?"

Yin He asked slowly.

The other four also stared fixedly at the envoy Bi.

This matter concerned the rise and fall of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty; they could not afford to be anything but cautious.

The envoy Bi composed their expression and then said gravely.

"Although Dazhou cannot directly support Taixuan, our Dazhou Sovereign has stated that during the war between Dashang and Taixuan, Dazhou will contain the Dayu Dynasty to prevent the Dayu Dynasty from crossing borders to disturb Taixuan.

Secondly, at the critical moment, the spirits, demons, and monsters under the protection of the Demon Race will come as Dazhou's contracted beasts to contain the Mountain Gods and Land Deities throughout Taixuan.

However.

Your Majesty Taixuan must also be cautious; if you can avoid disturbing those Mountain Gods and Land Deities under the Mount Tai Prefecture, do not disturb them.

After all, the Mountain Gods and Land Deities cultivate both the immortal and divine paths; they cannot be completely contained by those minor demons.

Thirdly, the Kunlun Immortal Court and the Guixu Immortal Court will each support Taixuan with three billion Earth Immortal realm Human Race immortal citizens.

Finally, the fourth point: the God Race has deep roots and great power on the East Sea Coast, so the Mysterious Gate will have the first disciples of the three teachings each lead over a thousand disciples above the Daluo Golden Immortal realm to come and assist."

Then, the envoy Bi cupped their hands to indicate they had finished speaking.

Seeing this, Yin He could not help but exchange glances with the four ministers below the dais.

All of them saw a look of gravity in each other's eyes.

If the Mysterious Gate had already made such extensive pre-war preparations, what kind of preparations would the God Race have? Thinking of the Mountain Gods and Land Deities under the Mount Tai Prefecture within Taixuan's borders, Yin He could not help but recall the most recent conflict, and a trace of regret and heaviness flashed through his heart...

The envoy Bi saw this and, being very tactful, excused themselves.

Leaving Yin He and the other four to discuss the affairs of Taixuan together.

Just as the envoy Bi of the Mysterious Gate and Dazhou arrived at the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

Far away in the Bohai Guixu region, the Penglai Great Continent presented an entirely different scene.

At the peak of Penglai, the Guixu Immortal Court.

As attendants under the seat of Hongjun Daozu, Haotian and Yaochi did not gain significant benefits during the Witch-Demon War and the standoff between immortals and gods.

Yet, given their status, they still established a new Immortal Court on the former site of the old Immortal Court (the Immortal Court of Dong Wanggong and the Queen Mother of the West).

By facing and supporting each other with the Kunlun Immortal Court established by the Queen Mother of the West, they were able to remain secure in the current situation between the immortal and divine paths. The Guixu Immortal Court.

At the time of its founding.

Haotian and Yaochi went from having nothing to possessing the Guixu region, which stood upon five immortal islands and mountains.

Although.

Ten million years ago.

The layout of the five immortal islands was unexpectedly broken by the Longbo giants, destroying two of the immortal islands and mountains, but the Guixu region still possessed three immortal islands and mountains.

Among them.

The Penglai Immortal Island and Mountain was one of the most massive bases.

The main palaces of the Guixu Immortal Court and the various residences of the immortals were located here.

Nowadays.

The main body of the Guixu Immortal Court was composed of Spirit Immortals (those who attained the Rice through plants, trees, metals, and stones) and Human Race immortals.

Under their protection were countless members of the Human Race, as well as Earth Immortal subjects such as Water Spirits, Feng Ling, Fire Spirits, Thunder Spirits, and Earth Spirits as their foundation.

Its power was like a small Heavenly Court on the shores of Bohai.

It was evident that the influence held by Haotian and Yaochi was extraordinary.

At this moment.

In the Wutian Immortal Palace at the peak of Penglai.

Haotian and Yaochi sat on the high platform, while over a dozen Quasi-Saint great powers and hundreds of Daluo Golden Immortals sat in the hall below, all appearing to bow their heads and listen.

Note: Immortal Rice Dharma Artifacts: Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Dharma Artifacts, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Spirit Artifacts, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Innate/Acquired Spirit Treasures, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Innate/Acquired Supreme Treasures, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Chaos Spirit Treasures, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Divine Rice Divine Artifacts: 1-9 Rank Divine Weapons, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Divine Artifacts, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Supreme God Artifacts, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Zhutian Chuangshi Divine Artifact, Lower/Middle/Upper/Extreme Founder God Artifacts.

Haotian looked around, his heart filled with heroic spirit.

He could not help but secretly praise in his heart.

Magnificent! This is the foundation of the Immortal Court that I, Immortal Emperor Haotian, built with my own hands!

Thinking back to those years.

When he and Yaochi descended from Zixiao Palace to the Honghuang, compared to their peers among the great powers, they were truly destitute! Apart from the title of attendants under Hongjun Daozu, they had no one to listen to their commands.

Although there were six Saints under the Mysterious Gate Rice Ancestor, how arrogant were the Saints? How could they be compared to attendants like him? Not to mention the Saints, even the disciples of the Saints were the same.

As for their own reputation, who among those Saint disciples cared? Not a single one! But fortunately, they had managed to pull through these years; after ten million years, they had finally established an Immortal Court and become a "hegemon."

This was only because the Honghuang Universe had grown larger and stronger, and there was a variable named Gu Changqing.

There were far more Quasi-Saint realm Hunyuan than in the original Honghuang.

Otherwise.

With his current Immortal Court, it would have been a stroke of extreme luck just to have a few Daluo Golden Immortals sitting in command.

How could there be a situation like the current one, with hundreds of Daluo and over a dozen Quasi-Saint great powers bowing to listen to orders? As his thoughts drifted, Haotian composed himself, then looked at the immortals below and said in a calm voice.

"My ministers, now that the pattern of the Human Dynasty has emerged, among the Great Zhou, Great Shang, and Divine Xia, which one do you think can unify them?"

The war of the Human Dynasty had already passed the stage of the struggle for supremacy among ten thousand dynasties and had reached the period of the decisive battle.

At present, anyone with a discerning eye could naturally see.

Only these three could possibly seize the great treasure and ascend to become the sole Heavenly Dynasty.

The Divine Xia supported by human sages and some of the God Race, the Great Zhou supported by the Mysterious Gate, and the Great Shang supported by the God Race.

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Emperor, as the God Race are the initiators of the Earthly Realm Heavenly Dynasty, I believe that the Great Shang has a high probability of ascending to the position of the Heavenly Dynasty."

At this time, an Immortal King wearing silver fish-scale armor stood up from the seated crowd, bowed, and said heavily.

Haotian nodded, neither denying nor confirming.

This Immortal King was one of his earliest capable subordinates to follow him, named Leiming, with the Daoist name Honglei Zi.

His origin was the Thunder Spirit Race.

Together with the Thunder Rice God Race under the seat of Qingtian Dadi, the Leiyuan God Race under the seat of the Heavenly Dragon God King, and the Leiyun God Race under the seat of the Infinite God King, they were collectively known as the four (great) Innate Thunder Races of the Honghuang.

Haotian was still very tolerant toward him, and he would listen seriously to many of his opinions.

However...

It could not be denied that although Haotian felt what he said was very correct, due to Haotian's own background, he was destined not to agree.

Just like the current Human Race.

The several ethnic groups belonging to his Guixu Immortal Court were also divided into several factions regarding the issue of the Mysterious Gate and the Divine Court.

For example.

Led by the Thunder Spirit Race, along with the Water Spirit Race and other smaller groups, they believed that the Immortal Court should be on good terms with the God Race.

There were also those led by the Fire Spirit Race, along with the Feng Ling and other smaller groups, who believed that the Immortal Court should be on good terms with the Mysterious Gate, after all, both Haotian and Yaochi came from the Mysterious Gate.

Finally.

There were those led by the Earth Spirit Race and the Human Race, along with other smaller groups, who believed that the Immortal Court should remain neutral and not help either side, neither provoking nor approaching them.

Among them, the neutral force led by the Earth Spirit Race and the Human Race was the largest and strongest.

Just taking the great powers of the Quasi-Saint realm as an example.

In the Guixu Immortal Court, besides the two Immortal Emperor and Empress Haotian and Yaochi, there were eighteen Quasi-Saint great powers; the Earth Spirit Race accounted for 3 Immortal Kings, and the Human Race accounted for 4 Immortal Kings, totaling 7.

As for the Thunder Spirit Race faction that leaned toward the God Race, the Thunder Spirit Race had 3 Immortal Kings and the Water Spirit Race had 2 Immortal Kings, totaling 5.

The Fire Spirit Race and Feng Ling, who lean toward the Mysterious Gate, are also like this.

3 plus 2, a total of 5.

The remaining Immortal King is Baqi, the Patriarch of the Bashi Shezu from the shores of Bohai.

It can be said.

Although the various races under the Guixu Immortal Court are collectively called the Guixu Immortal Clan.

There are still some minor frictions and disputes within them.
