Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 213 Venus Li Changgeng

Haotian gently grasped Yaochi's slender hand and chuckled softly.

"How can we be ready? We still have a big task to do."

"What's the big deal?"

Yaochi's face flushed slightly, and her body trembled slightly.

Haotian didn't answer, but picked up Yaochi and said gently, "Of course, it's a big matter between us."

"Brother Haotian, there are still so many people outside the Lingxiao Palace."

"I have already arranged for the human race to patrol various parts of the Heavenly Court, so no one will disturb us. We were unable to do what we wanted in Zixiao Palace, but this is our home ground, and we are the masters here. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After a night, Haotian got up, lifted the curtain, and walked out refreshed, as if he had exhaled all the pent-up frustration that had accumulated in his heart for millions of years.

Now that he, Haotian, has become the Great Celestial Venerable of the Primordial World, he is determined to establish an unparalleled legacy to show his teacher.

"Sister, you rest here first, I'll go and settle the humans."

After holding Yaochi's fair and delicate hand and comforting her for a while, Haotian left.

Over the next few months, Yaochi went through a lot of turmoil, but Haotian finally managed to settle the tens of thousands of human beings.

Although there are still not many people, there are still quite a few.

But at least from the outside, the Heavenly Court already looks somewhat like it.

In the Lingxiao Palace, Haotian rubbed his temples and said with a troubled expression.

"The Heavenly Court will be re-established in seven hundred years, and there is still much to be done. The current tens of thousands of humans are still too few; we need to recruit more. We need Yaochi. Do you have any immortals coming to join us?"

When the Heavenly Court was first established, it was extremely poor and had very little merit and fortune; even Haotian himself had nothing to offer.

Yaochi smiled wryly, "Not a single cultivator above the Golden Immortal level has come, but there are quite a few little fellows among the Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals."

Haotian waved his hand, "I'll take them all, I'll accept them all."

Just then, a voice rang out outside the Lingxiao Palace, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, a celestial being requests an audience."

"A celestial being?"

"Please let him in."

"Yes."

A short while later, an old man with white hair and a youthful face, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, entered the Lingxiao Palace.

Haotian glanced at the old man, seemingly unintentionally, and was surprised to find that the old man was incredibly skilled, possessing the strength of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal!

This is the person with the highest cultivation level who has come to the Heavenly Court these past few days.

Haotian immediately became interested, nodded to the old man, and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you to my Heavenly Court?"

The old man quickly bowed and said, "I have come to join the Heavenly Court. I beg the Great Heavenly Venerable to accept me."

"Oh? Anyone with eyes can see that the Heavenly Court is not a good place to go. Why do you want to join it?"

"It's precisely because everyone is pessimistic that I want to give it a try and take a gamble. If everyone were optimistic and rushed in, there wouldn't be a place for me. Besides, you're someone close to the Dao Ancestor; governing a small Heavenly Court shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Haotian then became interested, looking at the old man with a curious expression, "What's your name?"

"Your subject is Li Changgeng!"

"You've made up your mind to join the Heavenly Court. You should know that with the Heavenly Court being rebuilt, there may not be any salaries for a long time to come."

"Your Majesty's mind is made up; I am willing to serve you without complaint or regret."

Li Changgeng was originally a minor cultivator who was born at the end of the Dragon-Han Calamity.

Due to his limited aptitude, he has been stuck at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm for countless millennia, unable to break through.

This time, I joined the Heavenly Court to take a gamble and find an opportunity to attain the Great Luo realm.

As for salary?

It was worthless to him; what he wanted was the opportunity to attain the Great Luo!

Haotian nodded seriously, "Very well, I hereby appoint you as Taibai Jinxing (Venus), to serve by my side. Are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, I thank you. I will serve you diligently and conscientiously."

Not long after Li Changgeng left, Haotian thought of something.

"By the way, Yaochi, plant the Star Fruit Tree that your teacher gave you."

"I will do whatever Brother Haotian says."

Haotian led Yaochi to find an auspicious location in the Heavenly Court and planted the Star Fruit Tree.

The moment the Star Fruit Tree was planted, it instantly multiplied into nine thousand smaller fruit trees.

The three thousand strongest fruit trees produce fruit that can increase one's cultivation by eight thousand years with just one!

Even those of slightly lower quality can gain five thousand years of cultivation!

The smallest three thousand trees will increase one's cultivation by two thousand years.

Yaochi said with heartache, "Having lost a mouthful of primordial spiritual energy, it will never be able to bear a true Star Fruit again."

Haotian comforted her, "I will find you an even better spiritual root in the future."

Dividing the Star Fruit Tree was a last resort; after seven hundred years, when the Heavenly Court reopened, it would have to entertain guests.

How many fruits can a single top-grade innate spiritual root produce?

Only by separating them can there be enough to entertain guests. Besides, even after separation, they are still top-grade spiritual fruits from the primordial world, which should be more than enough to entertain guests.

Seven hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the sound of heavenly drums resounded from the heavens.

Each one higher than the last, its message spread throughout the primordial world, reaching the ears of countless powerful beings.

At Mount Emei, in Luofu Cave, Zhao Gongming awoke from his seclusion. After calculating with his fingers, he knew that the day had come to re-establish the Heavenly Court.

Then, a majestic voice resounded throughout the primordial land: "The war between the Lich King and the Demon King shattered Buzhou Mountain, disrupted the rules of heaven and earth, and caused conflict to erupt once again in the primordial world. I, Haotian, was entrusted with a mission in this time of crisis and was valued by the Dao Ancestor, and was promoted to the position of Great Heavenly Venerable. Today, the Heavenly Court is re-established, and all fellow Daoists of the primordial world are welcome to come to the Heavenly Court to taste the immortal fruits and delicacies."

The sound lingered in the air for a long time, until it reached the ears of everyone in the primordial world, and then it stopped.

Liu Er came over and said, "Teacher, should we go and join in the fun?"

"Go, why don't you go?"

"Ninth Master, Shao Si, you two get ready. Your master will take you to heaven to eat celestial fruits and drink fine wine."

"Yes, Master."

After a quick packing, Zhao Gongming and his group set off.

The saints also set off from their respective sacred sites to participate in the grand ceremony.

In the Heavenly Court, in the Lingxiao Palace, amidst wisps of smoke and clouds, graceful celestial maidens carrying fruit platters weave through the celestial mist.

One by one, the Yellow Turban warriors carried out jars of celestial wine, filling the Lingxiao Palace to the brim.

Even the air was filled with the aroma of fruits.

Among them, on the left and right sides closest to Haotian, there are three futons, which are obviously prepared for the sage.

Haotian and Yaochi changed into imperial robes, phoenix robes, exuding a heroic and imposing aura, and their every move radiated an air of supreme nobility.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, Venus was welcoming guests.

The vast Lingxiao Palace was already bustling with activity, with countless people having arrived. After all, free immortal fruits and fine wine were something everyone wanted to enjoy.

At this moment, Venus shouted loudly, "The Sage of Taiqing has arrived!"

Taiqing, accompanied by Xuandu, entered the Lingxiao Palace and sat in their respective seats.
