Fortunately, this matter was no challenge for Ye Chen. With a wave of his hand, Mount Tai was immediately summoned. At the same time, some magic crystals that he had previously saved and some that he had recently acquired were injected into him. With the use of two hundred energy points, Mount Tai immediately became the first heavenly soldier in the Heavenly Court.
Then, under the resentful gaze of Mount Tai, they slowly walked towards the imposing South Heaven Gate.
"Boom~~~" The heavy door was pushed open little by little, and Ye Chen found that Taishan did not seem to use much force, but rather just a kind of rule restriction.
As strength increases, many physical objects lose their practical significance. For example, the Eternal Silence that Fatty researched was a weapon that could threaten seventh-tier creatures, but its appearance was more like a door.
For this type of weapon, its shape is irrelevant. A long spear shaped like a door panel, a shield like a steel wire... what matters is not its shape, but how its energy flows. Even if you make it into the shape of a pile of excrement, as long as it can withstand attacks, it is a shield.
Pure, ethereal energy burst forth from the crack in the opened door, giving one a sense of exhilaration. This was a higher form of energy than spiritual energy or essence, capable of promoting cultivation, prolonging life, and bringing all sorts of wonders.
However, Ye Chen had no time to study the immortal energy at this moment. As the South Heavenly Gate was pushed open, palaces towering among the clouds came into view. The surrounding area was shrouded in clouds and mist, with golden light and auspicious energy surging. In a daze, there were celestial music echoing. The clouds and mist took shape, like real cranes flying, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. However, in the astonished gazes of everyone, they dissipated and turned into white mist that merged into the sea of clouds...
The breathtaking scenery of the celestial palace left the three of them speechless for a while before they came to their senses. Ye Xi stared blankly at the view before him and couldn't help but murmur, "So beautiful!"
"Is this heaven?" Taishan couldn't help but ask as well, which made Ye Chen's heart sink.
"What heaven? Where did you learn that from? This is the Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Heavenly Court!" Ye Chen said, taking the lead and stepping into the South Heavenly Gate.
In an instant, Ye Chen felt as light as a swallow and unconsciously rose into the air, flying towards a tall building in front of him.
Chaotian Tower, a pilgrimage site behind the South Heavenly Gate, is the only way to the Lingxiao Palace. Inside, there are golden bells and heavenly drums, and four duty officers are on duty.
Of course, Chaotian Tower is still empty now, except for the awe-inspiring golden bell and heavenly drum, there is not a single person in sight.
Ye Chen glanced at it and saw that the Four Duty Officers were positions held by righteous immortals, which could only be entered by those who were at least at the seventh rank, making them comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.
He shook his head helplessly, stepped over the Chaotian Tower, and arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace.
This is the first true celestial palace that Lingxiao Heavenly Court has unlocked at this time, and it will also be the place where he will hold court in all four seasons and the place where the immortals will discuss matters.
Above the towering gate in the clouds, the plaque of "Lingxiao Palace" stands majestically, upon which sits a precious mirror that clearly reflects everything below, even piercing through the clouds and illuminating the primordial world.
There are many names for this mirror, including Haotian Mirror, Qiankun Mirror, Kunlun Mirror, and Void Mirror. Even in the Lingxiao Palace today, there is no fixed name for it, as if it is waiting for Ye Chen to name it.
At the same time, the various wonders of Lingxiao Palace also appeared in Ye Chen's mind.
As mentioned before, the most important thing is that it can replace the lord's mansion, and it is also a lord's mansion that can grow. As the Lingxiao Heavenly Court advances, its various functions will be unlocked.
Currently, Lingxiao Palace doesn't serve many functions as a lord's residence, and it's even less effective than the lower-level lord's residence where I currently reside, but its effects are quite powerful.
The first rule is to increase the spiritual energy concentration on the entire Primordial Star by 10%. It may not seem like much, but the actual effect is enormous.
The increase in spiritual energy concentration is accompanied by an acceleration in various cultivation speeds, as well as a faster advancement and growth of various rare and exotic fruits.
With faster cultivation speed, lower difficulty of advancement, and an increase in rare and exotic fruits, the advancement speed of beings on the Primordial Star is far more than just a 10% increase.
In addition, the effects of inspecting the Three Realms and coordinating all the gods also gave Ye Chen greater control over the Heavenly Court, the Primordial Star, and the powerful beings in his territory.
It should be understood that the more powerful the subjects are, the less easily they are controlled by the lord. This is especially true for those recruited awakened individuals and subjects gathered from outside; many of them break away from the lord's control after becoming powerful.
However, once they enter the Heavenly Court and are listed on the Investiture of the Gods, Ye Chen will have the power of life and death over them. As long as they are not removed from the Investiture of the Gods, they will always be subject to Ye Chen's control, even if they become gods.
Unless you can become a saint or ancestor, even someone as powerful as Yang Jian can only obey orders but not proclamations.
The Lingxiao Palace was not only a place for immortals to discuss matters, but also contained an inner palace, the residence of the lord, and even the legendary imperial garden. It can be said that the entire Lingxiao Palace was a huge palace, where everything that existed in ancient imperial palaces—discussion, residence, rest, entertainment—was available, and even more complete.
Walking through the enormous hall, even before reaching the back, the shock in Ye Chen and his companions was indescribable. The Lingxiao Palace truly lived up to its reputation as the hub of the Heavenly Court, with its golden nails, jade doors, colorful phoenix gates, covered corridors and winding paths... everywhere was exquisite and intricate, with dragons and phoenixes carved among the three eaves and four clusters.
Having heard the legends of the Heavenly Court, Ye Chen could even imagine the celestial scene of a heavenly princess holding a fan and a jade maiden holding a fairy handkerchief.
"Ye Xi, let's arrange for all the Moon Maidens of the fourth rank and above to come in. The Heavenly Court will probably need quite a few celestial maidens to manage it!" Ye Chen said to Ye Xi beside him.
"Yes!" Ye Xi nodded happily. Being able to live in such a celestial palace would undoubtedly be of great benefit to improving his strength.
"My lord! What about me?" Taishan asked curiously upon hearing this.
"The Heavenly Court has a series of positions of righteous gods, from the Thunder God to the Five Thunder Kings and the Thunder Emperor... It all depends on your abilities!" Ye Chen said with a smile. The Heavenly Court has many celestial positions, and the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess are only the lowest level in the Thunder God lineage. Even the position of Thunder God is not something that Mount Tai can currently hold.
"Hehe! This has to be mine!" Taishan chuckled, while Ye Xi shook his head with a light laugh.
"Don't forget, the Witch Clan also has a Thunder God! Not only a Thunder God, but also the Ancestral Witch of Lightning!"
Upon hearing this, Taishan's face darkened. Zhang Liang, the Ancestral Witch of Thunder, was a Thunder God no weaker than himself. He had been defeated by Zhang Liang when he seized the Dwarf's Hammer, which showed that Zhang Liang's progress in the path of thunder was in no way inferior to his own, making him a strong competitor for the position of Thunder God.
