After Gu Changqing and Long Tian led the three slaves out of the city, they transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the floating island of the Heavenly Court.
No one stopped them from entering or leaving the city. Unlike humans, the alien races did not need tokens or other proof of identity. The appearance and aura of the Heavenly Dragons were the best pass.
Gu Changqing and his group arrived at the floating island of the Heavenly Court. Since Long Tian was also with them this time, they ignored the Heavenly Court guards and flew straight towards a well-arranged palace in the Heavenly Court.
The guards patrolling below the city wall glanced up slightly before continuing their patrol. After all, Long Tian usually entered and exited the Heavenly Court at will, since he was the son of the Emperor.
After Gu Changqing and her entourage landed in the palace, Long Tian spoke to Gu Changqing:
"Fellow Daoist Wuxin, find a palace here to stay. In a few days, the Emperor will send someone to bestow upon you the Daoist robe of the Inspector God and some tasks."
Gu Changqing nodded slightly in response:
"I have no intention of knowing."
After listening, Long Tian smiled and nodded, then bid farewell to Gu Changqing and disappeared into a beam of colorful light.
After Long Tian left, Gu Changqing led several slaves to a quiet and secluded palace and then went inside.
The palace was also luxurious, with stone-carved floor tiles laid flat on the ground, and a magnificent throne above the main hall.
Gu Changqing then slowly stepped onto the throne in the main hall and sat down.
When the three slaves in the main hall saw Gu Changqing sit down, they hurriedly knelt down as well. The years they had spent as slaves had taught them how to behave.
Looking down at the three slaves kneeling on the ground in the main hall, Gu Changqing simply said:
"No matter who you were or what titles you had before, from this day forward, you are Number One, Number Two, and Number Three."
The three kneeling figures, upon hearing the names bestowed upon them by Gu Changqing, respectfully spoke in unison:
"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Your Excellency."
Gu Changqing ignored the three men's respectful replies and continued speaking:
"From now on, you will call me Lord God. Now you may move around freely within the palace. If anyone comes, go to the main hall to inform me."
After saying this, Gu Changqing ignored the three people kneeling on the ground and walked straight into the main hall on the left side of the main hall.
After Gu Changqing left, the three slaves stood up with a sigh of relief. They then chatted for a while before departing on their own.
Upon entering the main hall, Gu Changqing set up a simple defensive formation in the room before sitting cross-legged on the luxurious bed and beginning his cultivation.
Several days passed in a flash. Gu Changqing noticed footsteps coming from outside the hall, so he stood up and walked into the hall.
As soon as Gu Changqing stepped out of the main hall, he saw Slave Number One walking towards him. Upon seeing Gu Changqing, Slave Number One hurriedly knelt down and respectfully said:
"My Lord, the Emperor has sent someone to see you. I was just about to inform you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing simply nodded slightly and then ignored Number One on the ground. Seeing Gu Changqing heading towards the main hall, Number One hurriedly got up and followed.
As soon as Gu Changqing entered the main hall, he saw a person dressed in magnificent clothes, also a member of the Celestial Dragon race, who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
Upon seeing Gu Changqing emerge, the man bowed to her and then respectfully said:
"Greetings, Lord Inspector."
Gu Changqing simply nodded and said calmly:
"No need for formalities, but the Emperor instructed you to come."
After hearing Gu Changqing's words, the man nodded, respectfully handed the Divine Lord's robe to Gu Changqing, and then said:
"Congratulations, Divine Lord. It was indeed the Emperor who sent me here. The Emperor ordered you, Divine Lord, to lead several Heavenly Dragons to participate in this oversight."
Where are those Celestial Dragons?
Gu Changqing took the divine robe handed to him and asked the man a question.
“My Lord, those three clansmen have been waiting for you outside the hall for quite some time. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”
After the man finished speaking, he walked out of the hall. Gu Changqing didn't say anything more. Since the man was sent by the Emperor, he was only giving him face because of the Emperor. Gu Changqing could not stop him from coming or going.
Upon donning the robe of the Inspector God, Gu Changqing realized that this robe was no ordinary object, but rather an acquired magic treasure. Based on Gu Changqing's knowledge of array formations, he could determine that it would probably take several incense sticks' worth of time for an ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivator to break through the robe's defenses.
Gu Changqing casually summoned three slaves and walked out of the hall.
As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, they saw three Heavenly Dragons with cultivation levels of Void God Realm waiting there, and each of them had a human slave at the Dao Integration Realm behind him.
Looking at the three Celestial Dragons whose cultivation was a realm higher than his own, Gu Changqing walked over and said calmly:
"Are you the people sent by the Emperor to assist me?"
The three nodded in agreement and then introduced themselves to Gu Changqing.
"Your Excellency the Overwatch God, I am Long Di. I am in the late stage of the Dao Void Realm."
"Your Excellency the Overwatch God, I am Long Lei, a mid-stage Dao Void Realm cultivator."
"Your Excellency the Overwatch God, I am Long Huo. I am in the late stage of the Dao Void Realm."
After the three Celestial Dragons finished speaking, they bowed to Gu Changqing.
After listening to the introductions from the three Celestial Dragons, Gu Changqing nodded slightly and then said:
"You may call me Lord Heartless. Do you only have these three Dao Integration Realm slaves?"
The one who seemed to be the eldest of the three, Long Huo, spoke up: "Heartless Divine Lord, apart from these three Dao Integration Realm slaves, we still have dozens of Dao Void Realm slaves, as well as hundreds of Divine Void Realm Minotaur guards."
Gu Changqing knew that these three people were also arranged by the Emperor to observe him. After all, although there was more than one supervisor, he was different from the other supervisors.
Gu Changqing can freely monitor any area within the four domains, which is much greater than the power of other Divine Lords who can only monitor one domain.
That's why the Emperor sent three fellow Celestial Dragons to serve as his subordinates, firstly to observe whether Gu Changqing had the ability, and secondly to increase Gu Changqing's power.
After thinking it over, Gu Changqing signaled the three Celestial Dragons to accompany him out of the city to carry out their supervisory duties in the Four Regions.
The three Celestial Dragons and their slaves followed Gu Changqing as they flew out of the Heavenly Court's floating island and headed towards the Four Regions.
The guards below the city wall glanced at the people flying freely in the heavens but then ignored them.
After all, although Long Tian was not by Gu Changqing's side this time, the guard still recognized the Daoist robe of the Inspector God that Gu Changqing was wearing.
The Heavenly Lords could disregard the Heavenly Court's no-fly rule and freely enter and exit the Heavenly Court's floating islands, and these guards were used to these people flying around overhead.
They only need to focus on investigating the alien races below the Dao Integration Realm who have joined the Heavenly Court and the powerful human beings who have come to seek refuge.
