Chapter 790: The Heavenly God Court Submits, the Ninth Princess Enters the Palace

The news of the Eternal Immortal Court's collapse swept through the entire Middle Plane like a storm.

In a mere three days, every faction knew of this shocking news.

Three Quasi-Saints knelt in submission, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor was deposed, and the entire Eternal Immortal Court changed its banners and flags.

The Lun Hui Empire—this name was truly branded into everyone's hearts for the first time.

Before Lingxiao Hall, Lin Xuan sat upright upon the newly built Lun Hui Throne.

This throne was carved from Nine Heavens Divine Jade, its entire body wreathed in the radiance of the laws of Lun Hui.

The nine great empresses, including Sima Xue, were lined up on both sides, each radiating the pressure of a Quasi-Saint level.

Although they felt jealous, they still maintained their majesty in public.

Kneeling before the hall were dense throngs of surrendered officials from the Eternal Immortal Court.

Murong Tianji took the lead and shouted: "Pay respects to the Lun Hui Great Emperor!"

"May the Great Emperor live for ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand years!"

Twenty-seven newly acquired immortal concubines and holy maidens stood to one side.

The nine immortal concubines wore uniform palace attire, their beautiful eyes filled with adoration for Lin Xuan.

The eighteen holy maidens were even more nervous and expectant, secretly sizing up this new master.

Lin Xuan was in the middle of proclaiming the reform regulations for the Eternal Star Domain.

"The Eternal Star Domain is renamed the Lun Hui Star Domain; original officials will retain their positions but must undergo assessment."

"All armies are to be reorganized into the Lun Hui Legion and accept unified command."

"Resource allocation will be re-planned: thirty percent to be turned over to the Empire, seventy percent to remain for star domain construction."

His voice was calm yet filled with majesty, leaving no one daring to voice any dissent.

Just at this moment, the sound of grand immortal music suddenly drifted from the horizon.

Everyone looked up to see an extremely luxurious procession appearing in the Void.

At the head was an old man wearing golden priest robes, his aura as deep as the sea.

He was none other than the High Priest of the Heavenly God Court, Murong Xuanji, whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

Behind him, one hundred envoys wearing divine armor were arranged in neat rows.

But the most eye-catching sight was the nine phoenix carriages in the center of the procession.

Each phoenix carriage was pulled by nine divine phoenixes, emitting a brilliant divine light.

The graceful silhouettes of nine peerless beauties were vaguely visible within the phoenix carriages.

Murong Xuanji led the procession to land before Lingxiao Hall and immediately bowed in salute.

"High Priest of the Heavenly God Court, Murong Xuanji, pays respects to the Lun Hui Great Emperor!"

His voice was extremely respectful, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.

The one hundred envoys knelt in unison: "Pay respects to the Lun Hui Great Emperor!"

Lin Xuan glanced at him indifferently: "The Heavenly God Court has come to visit; what is the purpose?"

Murong Xuanji took a golden scroll from his robes and offered it with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter of surrender from my Emperor."

"The Heavenly God Court is willing to submit to the Lun Hui Empire for all eternity and honors the Lun Hui Great Emperor as the co-lord of the Middle Plane."

"We specially offer nine princesses to express our sincerity; I hope Your Majesty will graciously accept."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal.

The curtains of the nine phoenix carriages were lifted simultaneously, and the nine peerless beauties walked out slowly.

The First Princess, Tian Yao, wore a long white dress, her temperament ethereal and transcendent.

Her body was wreathed in a faint Dao Rhyme; she clearly possessed a top-tier constitution.

The Second Princess, Tian Xuan, wore star-patterned robes, her beautiful eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

The Third Princess, Tian Ji, had a bewitching appearance, every movement carrying a soul-captivating charm.

The Fourth Princess, Tian Quan, wore battle armor, looking heroic and spirited with a sharp aura.

The Fifth Princess, Tian Heng, was surrounded by the scent of pills; she was clearly well-versed in the Dao of alchemy.

The Sixth Princess, Tian Shu, had array patterns flashing between her brows; her attainments in Array were extremely high.

The Seventh Princess, Tian Xuan, held an ancient zither, with immortal music lingering around her.

The Eighth Princess, Tian Ji, was faintly distorted in her surroundings, seemingly having mastered the power of time and space.

The Ninth Princess, Tian Xin, was the youngest, with a pure and peerless appearance and large, sparkling eyes.

The nine princesses bowed in unison: "Princesses of the Heavenly God Court pay respects to the Lun Hui Great Emperor."

Their voices were like heavenly music, causing everyone present to lose their focus.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Sima Xue's mouth twitched slightly.

She transmitted her voice to Lin Xuan: "Your Majesty, this Heavenly God Emperor is truly willing to part with them."

"He gives away his own nine daughters just like that."

Lin Xuan smiled indifferently: "Those who understand the times are heroes."

"Rather than being destroyed, it is better to submit proactively to ensure survival."

He took the letter of surrender and scanned its contents.

It detailed the conditions under which the Heavenly God Court was willing to submit, as well as introductions to the nine princesses' constitutions.

The First Princess, Tian Yao, possessed the "Innate Dao Body," with a cultivation speed a hundred times that of an ordinary person.

The Second Princess, Tian Xuan, had mastered the "Star Fate Divine Art," capable of divining Heavenly Dao secrets.

The Third Princess, Tian Ji, possessed the "Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Body," a top-tier dual cultivation constitution.

The other princesses also each had their own specialties, and every one of them was a one-in-ten-thousand heaven-gifted talent.

Lin Xuan put down the letter of surrender and his gaze swept over the nine princesses.

"Are you all here of your own volition?"

The nine princesses looked at each other and knelt down in unison.

"We are willing to serve the Great Emperor and will never betray him."

Although there were complex emotions in their eyes, they were very clear that this was the family's decision.

Rather than harboring resentment, it was better to accept reality.

Moreover, the Lun Hui Great Emperor before them was young, handsome, and possessed heaven-reaching strength.

Being able to serve such a powerhouse was not necessarily a bad stroke of fortune.

Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Since that is the case, I shall accept."

"From this day forward, you are the Heaven-grade imperial concubines of the Lun Hui Empire."

"Your status is second only to the nine Great Empresses."

These words made Sima Xue and the others feel slightly better.

At least the position of the main palace was still secure.

Murong Xuanji was extremely excited: "Many thanks for the Great Emperor's grace!"

"The entire Heavenly God Court will surely be loyal and follow you for all eternity!"

Lin Xuan asked about some of the situations regarding the Heavenly God Court.

Murong Xuanji told him everything he knew, and even proactively offered the keys to the treasury and the military deployment orders.

"The Heavenly God Court shall maintain its original structure unchanged."

Lin Xuan made the arrangements.

"But the Core star region must be garrisoned by the Lun Hui Legion."

"Every year, thirty percent of resources must be handed over as a tribute of submission."

"If there is any defiance, the Eternal Immortal Court shall be the warning of what is to come."

The last sentence made Murong Xuanji tremble all over.

"I shall strictly obey the Great Emperor's decree!"

He kowtowed repeatedly, then left with the delegation.

The nine princesses were left behind, and placed in the care of the Great Immortal Concubine Xuannu.

Xuannu looked at these nine new sisters, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Having only surrendered a few days ago, nine more had already arrived.

It seemed the Emperor's harem would only become increasingly vast.

Night fell, and Lingxiao Hall returned to tranquility.

Lin Xuan sat alone on the Lun Hui throne, contemplating his next plan.

Conquering the Eternal Immortal Court was only the beginning; there were countless forces throughout the middle plane.

Just as he was thinking, soft footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess Tianxin requests an audience."

The maid's voice rang out.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "Let her in."

The hall doors opened, and Tianxin walked in timidly.

She had changed into a pale pink palace dress, which made her appear even more pure and lovely.

"Your Majesty summoned me, and Tianxin dared not delay."

She knelt to pay her respects, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Lin Xuan waved his hand to signal her to rise: "Come here."

Tianxin walked up close, and Lin Xuan asked gently: "Have you encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation?"

Tianxin nodded in surprise: "How did Your Majesty know?"

"I can see it."

Lin Xuan raised his hand, and a strand of Lun Hui law was injected into Tianxin's body.

"Your Immaculate Immortal Body has not yet fully awakened; let me help you clear your meridians."
