Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

After the Spirit Emperor's coronation ceremony, Mo Jianli had a brief exchange with Ye Ming and then left.

The spectators, including Tianyuan Saint Emperor and Xuanwu Tyrant Emperor, also said goodbye and left after communicating with Ye Ming for a while.

After Ye Ming saw off the guests, he strolled along a straight path paved with white jade in the Linghuang Palace.

Linghuang Palace is where Tianmiao Linghuang lives and works. It includes a large group of palaces and courtyards and has been passed down since ancient times.

There were not so many buildings in the beginning. Later, many successive emperors repaired and expanded the Palace of the Emperor according to their own preferences and added many other buildings.

However, the Linghuang Hall, which serves as the main hall, has never changed, and its name has been used to this day.

The Spiritual Emperor Palace is located at the top of the crown of the giant tree, surrounded by a faint fairy mist. The outer wall of the palace is made of unknown stone, shining with a faint spiritual light, crystal clear, and faintly visible The spiritual light flowing in it.

The palace gate is towering, carved with intricate runes and patterns of spirit beasts, and every stroke seems to contain a certain artistic conception.

Ye Ming stood at the door and looked at it for a moment, then smiled slightly. He had been cultivating immortals all his life, and had lived in a cave most of the time. Now that it had suddenly been transformed into a palace building, he felt a little uncomfortable at first.

However, since I have chosen the position of Spirit King, I will have to slowly adapt to these things in the future.

He shook his head and stepped into the Spirit Emperor Palace. Inside the palace was an open and magnificent space with a towering dome that was two or three hundred feet high.

In the center of the hall, a passage paved with white jade leads directly to the high platform in front. On both sides of the passage, there are several stone pillars that are hundreds of feet high. The surfaces of these stone pillars are engraved with complex runes and totems, flashing with faint light. At first glance, it is obvious that there are powerful prohibitions imprinted on them.

On the high platform, there is a throne made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood. The throne is inlaid with various rare gems and spiritual beads, emitting a dazzling light.

Behind the throne, a huge mural is even more eye-catching. This mural is colorful and has smooth lines, vividly depicting the magnificent scene of the battle between humans and ancient beasts and the creation of the world.

In the murals, you can see ancient human cultivators holding various weapons and engaging in fierce battles with ferocious ancient beasts. They either leap up to attack or lean over to dodge, and every movement is lifelike. Some of those ancient beasts are like dragons, and some are like tigers, but they are all very large, with fangs exposed, and extremely ferocious.

Precious tables, chairs and ritual implements are placed around the main hall, each of which exudes a unique aura, giving people a feeling of tranquility and majesty.

Above the dome of the hall hangs a huge spiritual lamp. Made up of thousands of spiritual beads strung together, the lamp emits a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.

At this moment, hundreds of people gathered in the hall, sitting or standing.

When Ye Ming walked in, everyone stood up, bowed and shouted: "Welcome to His Majesty the Spiritual Emperor!"

Ye Ming's figure flashed and he appeared on the high platform. Facing the people below, he waved his sleeves and said, "Everyone, please take a seat. We cultivators don't need to be polite!"

Then he sat down on the spiritual throne.

"Thank you, Spirit Emperor!"

Everyone below sat back in their seats.

Ye Ming glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "Although I have only been in Tianmiao City for a day or two, I believe that everyone here has already learned about my origins! I will not introduce myself here. Since I have only ascended to the sky a short time ago, I have not had the opportunity to travel to Tianmiao Realm before. There are still many Taoist friends here who I do not know yet. Now everyone can introduce yourselves in order."

Everyone in the audience knew that this was as it should be, and without much hesitation, a beautiful woman sitting in the first seat on the left stood up and bowed.

"I'm Liu Qing, I've done some research on the art of puppetry, nice to meet you, Spirit Emperor!" The woman's voice echoed in the hall, clear and pleasant.

"I heard earlier that there was a Thousand Spirit Fairy named Liu Qing in Tianmiao City, who had inherited the true teachings of puppetry from the previous Spirit Emperor. It turns out that she is you, fellow Taoist!" Ye Ming looked at the girl with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I have only learned the basics of puppetry. In fact, I also participated in the Wanbao Conference three years ago. Unfortunately, Your Majesty was busy at that time, so I had no chance to meet you." Liu Qing said with a smile, and the two dimples at the corners of her mouth added a bit of charm to her.

"It turns out that the fairy has actually come to me. It's really unfortunate. However, we will work together in the future. I still have many things to trouble the fairy. I hope the fairy will not abandon me." Ye Ming said politely. "I will do my best!" Liu Qing nodded and sat back.

Then, a black-robed man on the right stood up and bowed, saying, "My name is Mo Chenyuan, from the Zhenji Sect. I used to be in charge of the Spiritual Emperor's guards in the Spiritual Emperor Palace..."

"Friend Mo's fire-related magical power is really powerful..."

……

"My name is Lin Miaoyun, and I am in charge of the external liaison affairs of the former Spiritual Emperor Palace..."

In this way, everyone in the hall introduced themselves one by one.

Ye Ming simply chatted with them, either encouraging or praising them.

Through the introduction and conversation, Ye Ming gained an overall understanding of Tianmiaojing.

In addition to the main city, the entire Tianmiao Realm also has more than a dozen large cities, over a hundred medium-sized cities, and thousands of small cities.

There are twenty-eight fusion cultivators among them. Each large city has a fusion cultivator in charge. Except for a few of them, no one else came here today.

The mayor of every medium-sized city in the territory is a cultivator in the middle or late stage of the Refinement Realm, and there are also several cultivators in the early stage of the Refinement Realm to assist in management.

As for small cities, most of them are managed by cultivators in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, and a few are also managed by cultivators in the Void Refinement stage.

Most of the people in the hall today are from the main city. There are 16 people in the Fusion Stage, and 5 of them are in the Middle Fusion Stage, which are the four who fought with Ye Ming in the square. In addition to Mo Chenyuan and Lin Miaoyun, the old man is called Xiang Zhong, and the middle-aged man is called Xu Zhen.

The remaining one in the middle stage of fusion is Thousand Spirit Fairy Liu Qing, and this girl has reached the peak of the middle stage of fusion, and is just one step away from reaching the late stage.

The remaining ones in the hall were all cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, with more than a dozen in the late stage, fifty to sixty in the middle stage, and more than a hundred in the early stage.

All of the above belong to official forces. There are also many sects, families and other forces in Tianmiao Territory. The stronger ones have cultivators in the fusion stage, and the strongest ones have even reached the late fusion stage.

After the introduction, Ye Ming made a brief speech, stating his choice of personnel, and then waved his hand:
"In short, this emperor has clear rewards and punishments, and only looks at actual performance. Those who do well will be rewarded, and those who do not will be punished. Just go down and do your job well. The specific reward and punishment measures will be distributed later. The positions you originally held in the territory will remain unchanged for the time being. Okay, except for the Taoist friends who are above the Fusion Stage, the rest of you can go down."

"We'll take our leave now!" The cultivators left the Linghuang Palace with a respectful look on their faces.

After everyone left, Ye Ming looked at the dozen or so fusion cultivators who were calm, and suddenly smiled and said, "Friend Lin and Friend Mo, you two won't blame me for stealing your Spiritual King position, right?"

“I (the young lady) dare not!” The two were shocked, thinking that Ye Ming had some doubts about them, and quickly said: “In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. The Spirit Emperor is much stronger than us, so it is natural for him to sit in this position.”

Ye Ming nodded, then smiled and said, "Haha, our human and demon races as well as several nearby races are about to face a great disaster. I believe everyone present has heard about it."

"The Spirit Emperor is referring to the matter of the demonic calamity, right?" Everyone nodded to show that they understood, and their expressions became serious.

After discussions during the Wanbao Conference, almost the vast majority of the combined human and demon cultivators knew about this matter.

"Exactly! So how much do you know about the upcoming demon world calamity?"

"This……"

Except for the flash of a strange color in the eyes of Qianling Fairy, everyone else looked confused, looking at each other, not knowing how to answer this question. They only knew about the situations of the previous demonic calamities, but who knew about things that had not yet happened?
