Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

A night of fish and dragon dance, a spring night worth a thousand pieces of gold!
The next morning.

Gu Qing lay sprawled on the bed, with Yu Yan on his left, Miao Ge on his right, and Jiang Xi'er nestled against his chest. The warmth and softness of her body filled his arms, and in that moment of intense pleasure, even immortals could not compare to the joy he felt.

Looking at Jiang Xier's slightly red and swollen eyes, Gu Qing reached out and gently wiped them, only to hear a plaintive voice in his ear.

"My husband has never treated me so gently before."

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look. It was Yun Yuyan chatting and laughing.

"You're lying through your teeth." With a helpless sigh, she still explained, "Have you forgotten what happened on the Seven Islands of the Big Dipper? We've been married for so long, it's really disheartening to hear you say something like that."

Yun Yuyan's lips curled up slightly, and she suddenly said to him from the other side, "Sister Miaoge, now that you're awake, stop pretending to be asleep."

Ao Miaoge looked nervous and spoke cautiously.

"Sister Yuyan, I..."

He could understand Ao Miaoge's feelings. After all, she had been rejected before, and she couldn't help but feel a little inferior. This was an emotional disadvantage that was hard to control.

Gu Qing simply turned to the side and pulled the sleeping Jiang Xi'er and Ao Miaoge into his arms.

"Don't overthink it, you're all the same to me."

"My husband—"

The day begins in the morning; verbal promises are no substitute for actions. Lifting the blanket reveals a fair and tender sight that is sure to make your nose bleed.

Gu Qing suddenly stood up, displaying the same bravery he had shown the night before.

Physics says (sounds like "sleep") to make you submit!

When the sun was high in the sky, Gu Qing, having changed into a black and gold robe, tied his head with a tall crown, and tidied himself up, went to the Taixu Palace in high spirits to discuss matters with everyone.

The immortal lord's wedding banquet will last for more than a month.

These cultivators didn't need to sleep either. Gu Qing went back to his room, while they continued to drink. After all, since the decisive battle a hundred years ago ended, followed by the sweeping war, a victory banquet had never been held. Everyone was so busy that they barely had time to rest.

It's a rare opportunity to relax, so why not party until the sun goes down?!

"Hey, look who's here."

"He doesn't spend much time talking with the ladies early in the morning."

"Tsk tsk~"

Despite the various teasing remarks, Gu Qing remained unperturbed.

"That's enough. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to gather here. I have a suggestion."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Lei immediately looked at Feng Xian, his mischievous expression barely concealed, a look that seemed to say, "Is this finally going to happen?" It was truly hard for him to keep up the act!

Tian Yunzi waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier and asked curiously.

What suggestion do you make?

"How about establishing a heavenly court that belongs to our human race?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. In ancient times, there was a supreme dragon court that stood in the nine heavens and ruled the earth.

In ancient times, there was a demon court that ruled the world and dominated the four seas and eight wastelands.

Further ahead lies a chaotic ancient history, a struggle between primordial deities. The reason they all have a special fondness for the Nine Heavens is because the Nine Heavens are a spiritual realm, floating on the surface of Cangwu.

Below the sixth rank, it is difficult to enter the physical body.

Various kinds of innate pure energy float and sink in the nine heavens. This energy is different from spiritual energy, possessing different characteristics, and can even be used to cultivate unique supernatural powers.

The pure energy of the heavens and the malevolent energy of the earth each possess their own mysteries.

It is considered a rare resource in the Cangwu cultivation world, and it has been perfectly integrated into the [Four-Nine Immortal Path] system, which is used by cultivators after they reach the fourth rank.

The Tao gives birth to all things, the void creates laws, immortals and gods are linked, and one attains the Tao by penetrating the void!
This principle of "creating all things" is not merely about creating life within a grotto-heaven; it also requires further accumulation of the grotto-heaven's origin, perfecting the laws of immortality, and ultimately bringing the grotto-heaven world closer to synchronization with the outside world.

The Earthly Fiends and Heavenly Clarity are key elements.

They are born of heaven and earth, contain many mysteries, and have a strong guiding role for the Dao of creation of all things in the lower rank of the fourth grade.

The Nine Heavens are of high status and can gather many resources that are beneficial to their cultivation, which is why the Dragon Court and the Demon Court were born one after another.

Ultimately, it all comes down to resources. Since Gu Qing doesn't plan to ascend immediately, he naturally needs to prepare for this early on, using the "Heavenly Dao Offering Technique" to exchange for them. He's worried that if the Heavenly Dao of Cangwu becomes a "mini-Gu Qing" now that it's too big, he'll be in a bind.

It's best to use such strange arts, which can easily influence the natural order and give rise to one's own self, sparingly.

Furthermore, he possesses a giant cedar tree stump containing the law of the destruction of time. Currently, throughout the entire Cangwu Realm, only the Great Dream Immortal Lord has cultivated the law of time.

Adding another one wouldn't be a big problem for him; he's far from reaching the threshold of being rejected by the Heavenly Dao. He absolutely has to cultivate this one.

The four directions and the space above and below are called the universe; the past and present are called the cosmos!

The universe is the way of time and space, the way of life and death, and the way of yin and yang!

Its position is far above the Three Thousand Great Daos. If all the paths of laws are compared to rivers, then time is the thickest and most unshakable celestial river among them!
The Way of the Universe is both the Way of Space and the Way of Void, a path that Gu Qing has already entered.

The cosmos is the cosmos of time and the cosmos of light. He has a complete ticket, so why not enter?
The establishment of a celestial court belonging to the human race, with centralized power and regulation, standardized cart tracks and writing, unified weights and measures, and the true integration of the fifty mortal kingdoms into one.

Establish a new system of celestial officials, bestow titles upon the gods of mountains and rivers, and incorporate all races such as dragons, aquatic creatures, demons, and spirits into one system, thus gaining eternal fame!
As long as the succession at the top is orderly and the fundamental lifeline is grasped, the human race can truly become the new supreme ruler of heaven and earth, dominating Cangwu.

This proposal sounds simple, but there's a lot to do, and the Twelve Immortal Sects will gradually move downwards, with the center of power converging towards the Heavenly Court.

In a sense, it meant making them abandon their ancestral legacy and start from scratch.

There will also be a conflict between Gu Qing and the Great Dream Immortal Lord's positions.

For example, who will be the ruler of the human race, the Heavenly Emperor?
The Twelve Immortal Sects had ample reason to refute, but unexpectedly, Tian Yunzi, Jiu Lei Daojun, Yunmeng Daojun, Beiming Jinmu Yuanjun, and others did not refute.

Instead, they all agreed.

"This suggestion makes sense, and I agree with it."

"We have long wanted to emulate the Dragon Court and the Demon Court and establish a Heavenly Court dominated by the human race. Now that Fellow Daoist Gu has brought it up, what reason do we have to refuse?"

"Can!"

"I have agreed to this matter. How exactly should it be handled?"

Gu Qing's expression changed, showing both relief and curiosity. He couldn't help but ask, "You all agreed so easily?"

Tian Yunzi smiled and shook his head as he spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, you are unconventional in small matters and loyal and righteous in important matters, always prioritizing the greater good of humanity. If someone like you is not trustworthy, then who in this vast human race can be trusted?”

Having said that, Gu Qing was not going to back down.

"In that case, I, Gu, will not waste any more time. Let me first share my thoughts. Everyone is welcome to offer different opinions, point out any shortcomings, and work together to build a Heavenly Court that belongs to our human race!"

"good."

"good."

"good."

Following that, Gu Qing began to explain in detail the rudimentary system of celestial officials he had envisioned.

"The map of Cangwu can be drawn by Kunlun Mountain."

"The earth veins and spiritual veins of the mountains and rivers will be sorted out by Qingqiu, which will also make it easier for Fellow Daoist Gu to refine a divine seal that is connected to the mountains and rivers according to local conditions."

"The dragon clan should be responsible for summoning wind and rain, ensuring favorable weather, national prosperity and peace, and abundant harvests year after year."

"Thunder and lightning, the vast earth and marshland, Lei Ze Mountain is the undisputed champion."

"The Arctic is in chaos, so my Jiuli Mountain should establish the Arctic Exorcism Academy to purify the world!"

"Baiyue Mountain and Flaming Mountain, with the skill of weapon forging, we will work with Fellow Daoist Gu to forge the Mountain and River Divine Seal."

"Taihe, Yunmeng, Yanxia... The ancient ruins of Shangjiutian were cleared, and the site was chosen for the Heavenly Court to establish the central hub of divine power and promote the power of the human race."

"Wan Jian is renowned for his martial prowess; he shall roam the world, slaying demons and exorcising evil!"

Everyone quickly identified their roles by speaking one after another.

What Gu Qing needs to do is wait until Kunlun and Qingqiu are finished, and then refine the divine seal that can activate the veins of mountains and rivers according to local conditions. The immortal official system is newly established and there are still many areas that need to be improved.

It needs to be adjusted gradually in practice. In this way, after the general direction is set, the wedding banquet will gradually come to an end.

All factions quickly dispatched their disciples to continue their work, each fulfilling their duties, ensuring that Cangwu would be under construction for a long period of time.

Thus, three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. (End of Chapter)
