My son is about to break through.

Three thousand Xuan Tian Imperial Guards.

This is arguably the most powerful force currently in Gu Qingfeng's possession.

Three thousand beings comparable to half-step Celestial Venerables are not to be underestimated, no matter where they are placed.

to this end.

Gu Qingfeng ordered Gu Cang to lead the Xuantian Guards to patrol the entire Xuantian Immortal Realm, uncover all the hidden evil gods, and eliminate them completely.

Although the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty had previously carried out a comprehensive purge of evil gods, it had always been difficult to truly eradicate them all.

To know.

The evil god clan has occupied the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm for many years and is deeply entrenched in it.

In almost every part of the vast Immortal Realm, there are figures of the Evil God Clan.

Now, it's certainly not that easy to completely eradicate all these evil gods.

In particular, some hidden evil gods possess extraordinary strength, causing the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty to lose many cultivators as a result.

after all--

All the evil gods who had reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm have perished.

However, some evil gods comparable to the Great Emperor realm still have some remnants.

But now, these problems no longer exist.

Any Xuan Tian Guardian is a powerful figure equivalent to a half-step Heavenly Venerable, and dealing with these evil gods is a piece of cake for them.

Even if some evil gods at the Great Emperor level lie dormant, they cannot cause the slightest disturbance.

It's been less than a month.

The Xuan Tian Guards traversed the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, slaying numerous evil gods.

For a while.

The name of the Xuantian Guard.

This shook the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

……

"I heard that a great battle broke out in the Kuyue Mountains three days ago. Many evil gods were lying in wait, including five who were comparable to the Great Emperors. However, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty only dispatched three Xuantian Guards, and they killed all five evil god Great Emperors. Such strength is truly terrifying!"

"What is the origin of the Xuan Tian Guards, and why are they so powerful—"

"Who knows? Some speculate that the Xuan Tian Guards are a force secretly cultivated by that Immortal Emperor. It is said that each Xuan Tian Guard is equivalent to a half-step Celestial Venerable!"

"Impossible... If that were true, wouldn't that mean the three thousand Xuan Tian Guards are equivalent to three thousand half-step Celestial Venerables?!"

The reputation of the Xuantian Guards has spread throughout the Xuantian Immortal Realm, and all cultivators are secretly shocked by their existence.

Half-step Celestial Venerable!

No matter when, a powerhouse of this caliber can be considered top-tier.

The reason is simple.

How many truly powerful individuals can attain immortality and reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm?

Throughout the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, among the hundreds of millions of cultivators, fewer than twenty are capable of breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

visible.

Just how difficult is it to break through this level?

And below the Heavenly Venerable.

The half-step Celestial Venerable is the strongest.

There aren't many experts at this level in the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm.

While the number of them is certainly considerable compared to the Heavenly Venerables, it's still not that significant.

On the bright side.

In the past, the number of experts in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm who could reach the half-step Heavenly Venerable Realm would definitely not exceed four figures.

In the past, not every one of the three thousand immortal cities could have a half-step Celestial Venerable presiding over it.

in contrast.

Any immortal city that has a half-step Celestial Venerable in charge is considered to be among the top immortal cities.

But now.

The Xuan Tian Guard alone has three thousand members who are comparable to half-step Heavenly Venerables.

This news is bound to shock the world.

Many cultivators are skeptical of this rumor.

But doubts aside.

As the Xuan Tian Imperial Guards' achievements spread, such doubts gradually disappeared.

Originally, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty was the overlord of the ancient Xuantian Immortal Domain, and all the holy land forces submitted to it. Now, with the appearance of the Xuantian Imperial Guards, the prestige of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has undoubtedly reached another peak.

-

above the hall.

A middle-aged scholar-like cultivator stepped forward and bowed to the figure on the imperial throne.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Say!"

"Now that the situation in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm is stable and evil gods have almost disappeared, there are unclaimed blessed lands in all twenty-seven states and eighty-one prefectures. At present, many forces are secretly occupying these blessed lands, attempting to take them for themselves."

Your Majesty, I believe that all land under heaven belongs to the Emperor; this matter should be decided by the Imperial Court!

Ling Yundu said respectfully.

His words caused the many officials in the court to exchange glances, and many of them showed varying degrees of change in their expressions.

Gu Qingfeng pondered for a long time before finally saying, "As the Minister of the Immortal Sect, you will be in charge of this matter!"

"Just as you said, all land under heaven belongs to the king. The twenty-seven states and eighty-one prefectures of the Xuan Tian Immortal Domain are all the territory of the Immortal Dynasty. How can other cultivators be allowed to occupy them privately?"

From this day forward, anyone who establishes a sect or faction must report to the Celestial Dynasty. Only with the Celestial Dynasty's permission can they establish their power.

Furthermore, these sects, like merchants, are required to pay taxes to the Celestial Dynasty and obey its orders; anyone who disobeys will be treated as a traitor!

When Gu Qingfeng uttered the last sentence, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

In the past, the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm was a disorganized mess, with no rules or order to speak of.

The weak eat the strong!

It's the law of survival!

Evil gods bully the human race, and the strong of the human race bully the weak of the human race; this is a common phenomenon in the Immortal Realm.

Whenever an opportunity arises, or a so-called blessed land appears, it attracts cultivators from all sides to fight over it, adding to the bloodshed.

In the past, Gu Qingfeng would naturally have ignored it.

But it's different now.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty unified the Immortal Realm.

Gu Qingfeng would not allow the Immortal Dynasty to descend into chaos.

The order of the Celestial Dynasty!
All monks must abide by this!

All the blessed lands and grottoes under heaven are yours only if the Celestial Dynasty approves. Without the Celestial Dynasty's consent, no one has the right to touch them.

Gu Qingfeng's purpose in doing this was naturally to better unify the power of the entire Immortal Realm.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the assembled officials, Gu Qingfeng maintained a dignified demeanor.

"The Xuan Tian Immortal Realm is just one of the endless immortal realms. Outside the immortal realms, evil gods roam freely, and the human race has been weak for a long time!"

"Now that I have established the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty and unified the Immortal Realm, it is to fight for that sliver of hope for the human race!"

"If we allow chaos to ensue within the Immortal Realm, and the human race to fight and kill each other at will, weakening each other's strength out of thin air, how will we resist when the army of evil gods descends one day!"

"Therefore, I not only intend to bring all sects under the control of the Immortal Dynasty, but also to establish an Immortal Dao Department and build Immortal Dao Academyes throughout the land. Any human cultivator under the age of twenty can enter the Immortal Dao Academy to cultivate—"

Gu Qingfeng spoke calmly, but the content of his words shook the entire court.

Establish the Immortal Cultivation Department!
Establish an Immortal Cultivation Academy!

Such a practice of spreading the word to the world is truly astonishing.

Since ancient times.

Cultivation techniques are all cherished by the people.

Let alone freely sharing, even if you join a faction, you can forget about truly cultivating superior and profound techniques unless you make significant contributions or demonstrate sufficient talent.

However, judging from Gu Qingfeng's current intentions, this Immortal Emperor intends to establish an Immortal Academy to spread his teachings throughout the world.

The advantages and disadvantages of doing so are quite obvious.

If the Celestial Dynasty is not strong enough.

If the strength of cultivators across the land increases significantly, it will inevitably threaten the rule of the Immortal Dynasty.

But accordingly.

If the Immortal Dynasty is strong enough to suppress all cultivators in the world, then all cultivators in the world will be the sharpest blade.

Does the current Xuantian Immortal Dynasty possess the power to suppress the entire world? That is the question.

Obvious.

The founding of a celestial dynasty is often the time when its strength is at its peak.

Not to mention.

The Immortal Emperor before us is the strongest in the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, a force far surpassing even the second strongest.

With the other side present, the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is unshakeable.

and so.

As Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, all the officials responded in unison.

"Your Majesty's actions will bring blessings to future generations; we are utterly humbled!"

Gu Qingfeng looked down at the assembled officials, his gaze finally settling on one person.

"Nan Haoran!"

"Chen is here!"

A middle-aged cultivator stepped forward, his expression revealing a hint of excitement.

Gu Qingfeng said, "From today onwards, you will be the Minister of the Immortal Path Department, in charge of matters concerning the Immortal Path Academy. Within one month, you need to compile all matters concerning the Immortal Path Academy into a book and then hand it over to me!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Nan Haoran suppressed his excitement and respectfully accepted the order.

Everyone else who saw this showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

Immortal club!
Anyone with eyes can see just how important this position is.

Although a Minister is only a second-rank official, in terms of power and status, he can even rival a first-rank official.

Of all the original departments, the Immortal Sect Department had the most profound foundation.

After all, the Immortal Sect Department governs all sects under heaven. Especially now, with the decree issued by this Immortal Emperor, all sects under heaven will be registered and placed under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect Department.

Thus.

This undoubtedly brought the power of the Immortal Sect to its peak.

But now that the Immortal Path Department has emerged, even the Immortal Sect Department has been overshadowed.

The reason is simple.

No matter how powerful the sects in the world are, how can they compare to the cultivators in the world?

Once the Immortal Academy is established, it is destined to attract cultivators from all over the world.

Although the Immortal Academy has some restrictions, requiring applicants to be under twenty years old to join, which to some extent curbs the ambitions of many cultivators, it is still astonishing enough.

no doubt.

With the emergence of the Immortal Path Department.

Nan Haoran is destined to become the head of all the ministers.

Not long after.

The meeting dispersed.

As soon as Nan Haoran stepped out of the main hall, he was surrounded by the crowd.

"Congratulations, Minister Nan!"

"The Immortal Cultivation Department can be said to govern all cultivators under heaven. Master Nan's future is truly promising!"

"My residence happens to have some fine tea; I'll have someone send some to Lord Nan for him to try tomorrow—"

Some people offered their congratulations, while others flattered him. Nan Haoran maintained a faint smile throughout, neither refusing nor agreeing.

He knew very well what everyone was thinking.

but.

Nan Haoran's mind is not on this right now.

A month isn't a long time.

If he cannot give that person a satisfactory answer, he, the newly appointed Minister of the Immortal Path Department, will likely become the shortest-serving minister in history.

and so.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Nan Haoran immediately made some excuses and then took the opportunity to leave.

Seeing Nan Haoran leave, the others had no choice but to give up.

-

"The fortune of the Celestial Dynasty has improved slightly again!"

Inside the main hall of the palace, Gu Qingfeng sensed the changes in the fortune of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty. As he allowed the Immortal Sect Department to govern all sects under heaven and established the Immortal Dao Department, the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty improved somewhat.

Gu Qingfeng also had ample experience in how to improve the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty.

Any decision that benefits the development of the Immortal Dynasty will improve its fortune.

the difference is.

The improvements brought about by ordinary decisions are particularly subtle and almost imperceptible.

Only through long-term accumulation and gradual development can one receive considerable blessings in return.

However, when it comes to major decisions, the changes in fortune become quite obvious.

Like now.

The Immortal Path Department was established.

The fortune of the Celestial Dynasty has seen a significant improvement.

But Gu Qingfeng knew very well that this was only the beginning.

"Once the Immortal Academy is truly established and the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is able to spread its teachings throughout the world, the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty will definitely improve significantly."

Moreover... such practices can enhance the overall strength of the human race, and in the long run, they will still have a great effect on the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty.

Now, let's see how well Nan Haoran has prepared!

Gu Qingfeng pondered to himself.

He only offered a suggestion regarding the Immortal Academy, but how it would be implemented depended on the methods of Nan Haoran, the Minister of the Immortal Department.

All Gu Qingfeng could do was offer a few pointers.

After all.

He can't possibly be perfect in every aspect.

The purpose of the numerous celestial officials in the imperial court is to maintain the stability of the celestial dynasty and to enable it to develop more efficiently and enhance its overall strength.

If one were to do everything oneself, then there would be no need for the celestial officials in the imperial court to exist.

To be honest, Gu Qingfeng wasn't very confident about whether Nan Haoran could satisfy him.

but.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty has just been established, and the Evil God Clan has not yet discovered the changes in the Immortal Realm. There is still a lot of time to go.

If Nan Haoran is not up to the task, then we can simply replace him with someone else as the Minister of the Immortal Path Department.

There are many cultivators in the world.

There were also many celestial officials in the imperial court.

Gu Qingfeng didn't believe he couldn't find a talent who could satisfy him.

"Once the Immortal Academy is fully established, I wonder if the fortune it brings will be enough to elevate the Immortal Dynasty's fortune to the 25th grade Azure Lotus!"

The fortune of the celestial dynasty.

The Twenty-Four Grades of Blue Lotus is just the beginning.

Once the Azure Lotus of Fortune advances to the 36th rank, the Immortal Dynasty can be upgraded to the Immortal Court.

According to the records of the Immortal Court, the Immortal Court is the limit of the Qi Fortune Court.

but.

Achieving the Thirty-Sixth Grade Azure Lotus of Destiny is no easy feat.

At present, Gu Qingfeng has unified the entire Xuantian Immortal Domain, which has only just raised the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty to the peak of the twenty-fourth grade Azure Lotus. However, it is not so easy to truly advance to the twenty-fifth grade.

The reason why it was able to reach the peak of the 24th rank was because the Ancient Mystic Immortal Domain had a strong foundation, with no less than a dozen Longevity Celestial Venerables.

Compare.

Although the Divine Martial Immortal Dynasty was also an ascended immortal dynasty, its fortune after ascending to immortality was only at the bottom among all immortal dynasties.

The twenty-fourth-grade blue lotus is ethereal and elusive, far inferior to the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

The fundamental reason is that the Ancient Mystic Immortal Domain is too weak and cannot compare to the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain.

This can be seen.

Both are newly established immortal dynasties.

For the newly established Xuantian Immortal Dynasty to have such a foundation is already quite remarkable.

This also indirectly illustrates just how difficult it is to ascend to the Celestial Court. (End of Chapter)
