All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Congratulations, Senior Gai!

"With the recovery from his Dao injuries, achieving Dao is within reach!"

Wang Gan spoke excitedly.

Gai Jiuyou waved his hand, his tone wistful.

“Achieving enlightenment through unconventional means will never make me an emperor. I never imagined that after a lifetime of competing with the Azure Emperor, I would still owe him a favor.”

"Life is truly unpredictable!"

Wang Gan smiled but remained silent.
In fact, Wang Gan possessed many divine artifacts that could allow Gai Jiuyou to be reborn.

Putting aside the dragon pearl itself, which was part of the True Dragon Immortality Elixir obtained earlier, Wang Gan had just acquired an Immortal Pill in the Qinling Mountains. Its incredible medicinal power was enough to allow Gai Jiuyou to be reborn in another life.
But Wang Gan didn't take it out, because why use his own when he could use someone else's?
Wang Gan didn't consider himself a very good person. Anyway, the essence blood in the heart of the Azure Emperor was endless, so he could help Gai Jiuyou recover from his Dao injury without any loss. Why bother using his resources?
"It's also because Senior Gai is of noble character and integrity, unwilling to live a life of mere survival like those supreme beings in forbidden zones."

"It seems that Senior Gai's injuries have long since healed."

Wang Gan's words were sincere, and his tone was full of admiration.
Not to mention anything far away, within the Qinling Mountains, there is a mother plant of the Dream Essence, whose medicinal power is comparable to that of the Immortal Medicine. For someone with Gai Jiuyou's cultivation level, obtaining it would not be difficult.

However, like Gai Jiuyou and Qingdi, he had the well-being of all living beings in his heart and was unwilling to reduce the Qinling Immortal Land to nothing, as that would be against the harmony of heaven and earth.

"Where can the Imperial Weapon be revived!"

"How dare you harm my holy son!?"

Suddenly a sharp shout came, and before the person could be seen, a black and gold immortal cauldron with dragon patterns flew over, carrying the supreme imperial might!

However, Li Daoqing heard that Wang Gan was being besieged by several imperial weapons, so he brought the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron to help his holy son out of the predicament.

He sensed that the supreme imperial might had suddenly revived on Wang Gan's side, and assumed that someone was using an imperial weapon to deal with Wang Gan, so he rushed over at lightning speed!
"Um?!"

When Li Daoqing arrived, he was dumbfounded.
Because there was no supreme imperial weapon confronting Wang Gan at all. On the contrary, Wang Gan held an imperial weapon that was completely different from the Devouring Demon Jar—the Chaos Green Lotus?!
Could it be that Wang Gan has once again seized the imperial weapon of the descendant of the Green Emperor?

"This"

Li Daoqing and the others stared at each other, feeling somewhat awkward for a moment.

After a short while, with Wang Gan's explanation, Li Daoqing finally understood the situation.

So, after all this time, the peerless holy son he painstakingly nurtured is about to be abducted by the demon race? And might even establish his own Heavenly Court?!

Li Daoqing looked at Wang Gan with a strange expression.

This kid is really lucky. Even the Azure Emperor looks at him differently. Could it be that he really has the potential to become an immortal?!

"Master! The Azure Emperor has the world in his heart. In the past, he wanted to establish a Heavenly Court to eliminate the barriers between all races and to quell the hatred between the human and demon races."

"Now that the Azure Emperor has chosen me as his successor, this arduous task is entrusted to my hands!"

Wang Gan sighed, looking utterly helpless.

Li Daoqing frowned deeply.
"Even if the Azure Emperor were to appear before him, he might not be able to bear the weight of the words 'Heavenly Court'."

"How can you, a mere cultivator of the Immortal Ascension Realm, stand in the ancient Heavenly Court?!"

Wang Gan smiled confidently.
"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. Even if the sky falls, it won't hit me, so don't worry!"

"Above, there is Senior Gai Jiuyou, a supreme being of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, who suppresses with force; below, there is Ye Fan, the reincarnation of Emperor Venerable, the Holy Body, who serves as the actual leader of the Heavenly Court and the face of the sect."

"I am merely a small part of the Heavenly Court, it's not as serious as you make it out to be!" Li Daoqing's expression also changed, and he looked at the seemingly ordinary sick old man beside him, understanding dawning on him.

It turns out that the supreme imperial might just now was revealed by Gai Jiuyou!

hiss!
Li Daoqing took a deep breath. So, with a quasi-emperor in charge, plus the two imperial weapons in Wang Gan's hands, plus Yao Guang's dragon-patterned black gold cauldron.

He was also good at calculations, and he thought of the number of imperial weapons that Wang Gan might control, which could even be as many as four!
"Moreover, as a unified power, the Heavenly Court encompasses all races and ethnicities, and also allows the existence of other forces."

"At that time, it would be perfectly appropriate for Ye Fan to become the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and for me to become the Holy Lord of Tianxuan or the Holy Lord of Yaoguang!"

Wang Gan slowly explained his plan.
"Although being the lord of a holy land is quite good for me, establishing a Heavenly Court and joining the Heavenly Court would open up even greater possibilities!"

"Moreover, the Yao Guang Holy Land will also be able to join the Heavenly Court at that time, and help each other!"

Upon hearing this, Li Daoqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Just as the sky is about to rain and a mother is about to remarry, his disciple has now reached the Saint Lord realm and has his own ideas, which he cannot stop!

On the Peacock King's side, seeing Yan Ruyu's excited expression after obtaining the Dream Essence, he also sighed deeply.

Yan Ruyu is the only descendant of the Azure Emperor. As the Demon King, he cannot stop Yan Ruyu's ideas and can only truly trust the Azure Emperor's judgment. This Wang Gan must be a magnanimous fellow.

Then there's another problem. Once you've established your power, you'll definitely need a base of operations.

We can't act like Wang Gan did before, using the name of Tianxuan Holy Land to intimidate people everywhere. Now that the Heavenly Court's membership is growing, we can't be without a base of operations.

"Beyond our sacred Yao Guang land, there is a place brimming with spiritual energy, no less than any major religion, making it perfectly suited to serve as the gate to the Heavenly Court."
Li Daoqing took the lead.
Since we can't stop Wang Gan, we can only try to get the Heavenly Court closer to the Yao Guang Holy Land, so that it will be easier to talk to them in the future!
“My brother, the Green Serpent King, has a small world created by a sage. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it the perfect base for the Heavenly Court. I will go and discuss it with him, and he will surely agree!”

These are the words of the Peacock King.

The two were at odds, each wanting the Heavenly Court to get closer to them so that the other wouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of this emerging power.

'How can we accomplish the great cause of the Azure Emperor while we're with these insects from the Yao Guang Holy Land?'

"With the Peacock King by his side, it's hard to guarantee that Wang Gan's power won't be completely eroded."

Peacock King and Li Daoqing stared at each other, their eyes filled with distrust of their old rival.

"The Heavenly Court's intention is to eliminate the barriers between all races under Heaven; how can it be confined to the Eastern Wilderness?"

"I have discovered a sacred site in Zhongzhou where a sage attained enlightenment, which would be perfect as a mountain gate. What do you think, Princess?"

Wang Gan was speechless upon seeing this. What was the point of arguing?

"Seniors, have you forgotten...?"

"With quasi-emperors and great saints in charge, creating small worlds is a piece of cake!"

"Not to mention, our Heavenly Lord Ye Fan is a rare Source Master in the world, so finding a suitable blessed land is not difficult for him."

Upon hearing this, Li Daoqing and the Peacock King were momentarily embarrassed. They had been so focused on winning that they had forgotten that a Quasi-Emperor was right next to them. For beings above the Saint level, creating a small world was just a trivial matter.

"Wang Gan! What are you talking about?"

Ye Fan's figure flickered, flying over using the Xingzi Secret Technique. (End of Chapter)
