Now that the Heavenly Court is newly established, nothing is set in stone, and I must make my stance clear, even if I cannot wrest back control immediately. Still, I need to demonstrate my resolve, let everyone know that I intend to fight for it.

I have my own persona, that of an invincible monarch, an emperor who dares to be progressive. This is the authority I established during the era of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.

Why have so many courtiers changed their minds after becoming gods? Apart from them being freed from the constraints of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, it is more so because Zhu Houji's authority is being challenged.

He is no longer the undisputed monarch of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, so many have wavered and adopted other ideas. If his position were still as solid as Mount Tai, even without the constraints of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, these people would remain loyal to him.

Established impressions are hard to break.

Even though Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing has rarely taken action these years, none of the powerful beings would think of him as someone weak or easily bullied.

Because from the moment Pei Xuanjing made his mark in this world, he left an impression of being decisive in killing, domineering, and unbeatable. Even if he does not act, others will remember it well.

And now, the Jade Emperor Zhu Houji is in such a position. If he does not assert his majesty with the establishment of the Heavenly Court, making everyone believe he is but a puppet Emperor of Heaven, it will cost him an unknown amount to reverse this image in the future.

Moreover, those who follow him now do so out of their initial affection for him, but also because they believe in his invincibility as an emperor, one who is qualified to lead them to greater heights and bring them more benefits.

If I cannot bring them benefits, greater rewards, then this affection will eventually erode. After all, no one wants to follow an emperor with no great aspirations.

Sitting in this position, I can only move forward; I cannot afford to retreat. Even if I do not advance, those behind me will push me forward.

I, must fight for it!

Everyone has their own thoughts, their own stance, their own interests. No one can truly empathize with another.

Although the Jade Emperor Zhu Houji is inwardly reluctant to the method proposed by Pei Xuanjing, he cannot go against it.

Because when he saw those veteran True Immortals arriving at the Great Morning Meeting, silent as they were, he understood that this matter was not a sudden proposition by Pei Xuanjing; it also had the approval of these veteran True Immortals.

In such a situation, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only accept it.

But even in acceptance, the interests that should be fought for must not be conceded, not even the slightest bit. Especially concerning the division ratio between the Heavenly Court and the discoverer after the discovery of a new world, it is an extremely important issue, worthy of meticulous deliberation.

To these people, such issues are critically important, but for Pei Xuanjing, they are inconsequential. His appearance is merely to express an attitude, to establish this plan. The specific details would naturally be handled by Pang Hong and other Shenxiao Sect Members.

This Great Morning Meeting of the Heavenly Court has thus come to an end, but the impacts it brought are profound and even play an important milestone in the development of the entire Heavenly Court and the Great Ming World.

No matter the future, the outcome of today's Great Morning Meeting has cut a path for later generations, adding hope, allowing them a greater possibility to reach the pinnacle.

And after the dispersal of the many gods from this Great Morning Meeting, the few Imperial Honors and True Immortals remained motionless, for they still had matters to discuss.

The rules of the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan discussed during this Great Morning Meeting are important, but for some True Immortals, their will has been expressed, and with agreements already made with Pei Xuanjing and these True Immortals, their attendance is not really significant.

The real reason these True Immortals have shown up is more because the Longevity Taoist Monarch has brought news about that new world.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Future rules, even with some loopholes, still have the chance to be mended, or for losses to be made good.

But this new world discovered by Wood Virtue Star Lord is of utmost importance. It is a world whose rank does not fall short of the Great Ming World. To be able to annex it would bring unimaginable rewards.

You should know that these True Immortals are really the ones who have reaped the greatest benefits from the Heavenly Court's Ascension. When the Sky Wasteland Realm was integrated into the Great Ming World, it allowed them to certify as True Immortals along the Immortal Dao Path, seize the Heavenly Authority, snatch the Creation Profound Mystery, and undergo a transformation.

If this world could be conquered this time, then it's not impossible for them to undergo another transformation on the Immortal Dao Path once again.

Before they stepped onto the Immortal Path, the Nine Realms of Spirit were known as 'one realm for every step one takes.'
But only after truly entering the Immortal Path did they realize how extremely difficult each step of the cultivation was, even harder than ascending to the heavens.

According to this classification by the Longevity Taoist Monarch, let alone the elusive Taiyi and Great Luo Realms that lie beyond the ninth layer of the Immortal Path, even reaching the realm of Extreme Path True Immortal at the end of the current nine layers is not an easy feat.

Hard cultivation is indeed a method, but such a way is too lengthy, and these True Immortals actually wouldn't choose seclusion and hard cultivation if they had a better option.

If we talk about the world discovered by the Wood Virtue Star Lord, for those Great Ancient Emperors, the hard cultivation through time would allow them continuous power enhancement. Each and every one of them would relish this without any objection since they were accustomed to such a lengthy life.

But for the True Immortals of the Great Ming World, this is not the case.

Aside from Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, Emperor Wenchang Wang Boan, Jade Emperor Zhu Houji and other powerhouses who rose from the Ancestral Land, whether newly ascended True Immortals or those who are veterans, each one is a cultivator who has cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Yet all of them sitting here, which one isn't a genius with an unobstructed path of cultivation? Even the realm of the Supreme Strong posed no hindrance for them; they stepped into the pinnacle of cultivation in a relatively short time.

These veteran True Immortals once spent thousands to tens of thousands of years at the realm of the Supreme Strong, but that was because of the shackles of heaven and earth. External reasons prevented them from breaking free, hence they couldn't make a breakthrough.

After waiting for the Heaven and Earth Ascension, nothing about the Immortal Path realms impeded them for long.

It was even more so for people like Pei Xuanjing, who in addition to his countless years of life simulation experiences, didn't spend a long time in other aspects of cultivation.

In truth, none of them had really undergone that kind of monotonous and tasteless hard cultivation, the painstaking kind.

Especially after breaking through to the Immortal Path, plundering the Creation Profound Mystery, igniting the War of Sealing Gods, and receiving the bestowed Creation Purple Qi, the strength of these True Immortals came from their constant struggles. Though fraught with risks, it didn't take them too much time.

People accustomed to feasting on meat and wine, who would then willingly nibble on vegetables and radishes every day?

You should know that it was fine not to choose before, but now their choice is not limited to this one.

Therefore, conquering this world and integrating it into the Great Ming World as ascending nourishment for these powerhouses has become an urgent matter.

Only then could their strength advance by leaps and bounds, continually improve, and truly walk to the very end of the Immortal Path in search of genuine immortality and indestructibility.

“Gentlemen, this is the general situation of that world, as well as our current circumstances and my plan,” Pei Xuanjing finished introducing the situation of that world before sharing his plan.

“There are dozens of True Immortals in that world? And that's just the ones we know of on the surface, not including those who haven't shown themselves yet?”

“So what if there are? They are merely incomplete True Immortals. When it really comes down to it, they're on the same level as the top True Gods of the Heavenly Court.”

“Even so, they should not be underestimated; after all, it's impossible for True Gods of the Heavenly Court to physically descend here, as the risk is too great.”

“Yet the existence of such True Immortals, even if incomplete, signifies that this world is of no low rank.”
