Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

The lakebed fell silent again in an instant.

Then, a multitude of thoughts intertwined wildly.

"Again?"

"Building a heavenly court? What business is it of ours!"

"We still need to provide materials? Thank God? I'd be grateful to his grandpa!"

"Extortion! This is blatant extortion!"

"What should we do then?"

"Oh, this..."

"Hold on, you have to hold on, let's see what he wants..."

After a suffocating silence, the aged voice of the Lord of the Lake of Reincarnation rang out again:

"Your Majesty... what you say is absolutely right. We... should support such a grand event. May I ask what Your Majesty needs? We... will do our best to procure it."

"Fellow Daoist is truly wise and understanding." Jiang Hao's smile widened, and with a casual flick of his wrist, a golden light entered the lake, transforming into a long list that appeared before each Supreme Being.

The list contains top-tier divine materials that are hard to find even in the heavens: Void Divine Iron Essence, All Things Soil... The sheer quantity is enough to make any emperor feel a pang of heartache.

The trembling of the lake water seemed even more pronounced.

But that wasn't all. Jiang Hao spoke again, his smile becoming even more genuine.

"I have heard that at the bottom of the Lake of Reincarnation, there is a Reincarnation Pavilion, which is made of the Primordial Reincarnation Stone and the Netherworld Wood of Life and Death. It contains the principles of life and death and can help people comprehend the true meaning of life and death."

This pavilion stands at the bottom of the lake, its brilliance obscured by dust. It would be better to move it to the newly established Heavenly Court, where its light will illuminate all realms, thus fulfilling its wondrous purpose of teaching and guiding others.

The lakebed fell into a deathly silence.

All the supreme beings' divine senses froze.

The Reincarnation Pavilion.

That is one of the core symbols of the forbidden zone of the Lake of Reincarnation. It is a truly ancient building that has been kept hidden since the mythological era and has witnessed countless secrets!

This isn't about needing materials; it's about moving their ancestral temple directly.

"Great Emperor..." The Lord of the Lake of Reincarnation's voice was extremely hoarse.

"That Rebirth Pavilion is connected to the foundation of reincarnation at the bottom of the lake, so it is probably difficult to move. Moreover, it is a place for cultivation and commemorating the sages of the past..."

"It's alright." Jiang Hao waved his hand, his tone relaxed.

"I, the Emperor, can personally sever its connection to the lakebed, without harming the very foundation of the Lake of Reincarnation. As for commemorating the sages of the past..."

With the Heavenly Court established and order restored, and all spirits inspired by it, is this not a better tribute to our ancestors? This pavilion, now residing in the Heavenly Court, shall assume the responsibility of educating and guiding all spirits; its merits are immeasurable, and all fellow Daoists shall share in this honor.

Supreme Being of the Lake of Reincarnation: ...

After a heated exchange and silence, a dim, dark light, mixed with countless fine runes, slowly rose from the deepest part of the lake.

It was the phantom of a nine-story ancient pavilion, constructed entirely of strange gray-black stone and ancient wood like black jade, exuding a profound Daoist aura of life and death.

It may seem illusory, but it is actually the manifestation of the true core Dao seal.

"...This pavilion will be presented to the Great Emperor to celebrate...the establishment of the Heavenly Court." The Lord of the Lake of Reincarnation's voice was very weak.

Then, from the depths of the Reincarnation Lake, streaks of light flew out and piled up in the sky above the lake to form a small mountain that emitted various colors of celestial light and exuded a profound Daoist aura.

"This is... a small token of our goodwill, wishing the Great Emperor... a swift completion of the Heavenly Court, and blessings... for eternity." At this point, the Lord of the Lake of Reincarnation sounded as if he was about to breathe his last.

"Fellow Daoists, you're too kind." Jiang Hao waved his sleeve and unceremoniously put away all the items, his smile becoming more sincere.

"On behalf of all future generations, I thank you all for your generosity. On the day of the Heavenly Court's banquet, I will certainly invite you all to take the seat of honor."

After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Only when the suffocatingly peaceful imperial aura completely dissipated did the suppressed roar and curses erupt from the bottom of the Lake of Reincarnation, shaking the lake water to its boiling point, yet it was firmly contained within the lake, not daring to escape even slightly.

"Robbers, bandits!"

"Join in this grand event? I'd rather support his ancestors!"

"Our treasure..."

"Endure...endure for a moment and all will be well..."

"When he's old and passes away, we'll definitely grind his bones to dust!"

……

The Burial Abyss is filled with malevolent energy.

Jiang Hao arrived in person, his gaze falling on the Myriad Tribulations Refining Tower in the abyss, which was built upon the cores of nine ancient stars and the Xuanhuang Qi, and imbued with the Dao principles and fighting spirit of countless powerful beings.

This tower exudes a murderous aura, yet it is also an unparalleled treasure land for tempering one's Dao heart and honing combat skills.

"This tower exudes too much malevolent energy; its prolonged presence in the abyss may bring misfortune," Jiang Hao commented.

"It would be better to place them in the Heavenly Court's Trial Grounds, where they can be refined by the vibrant energy and righteous spirit of heroes from all races, turning the calamity into a test, and returning to their true nature. This is the right path."

Within the Burial Abyss, many Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors felt their divine senses cold, yet dared not lash out.

Finally, the shrunken phantom of the Refining Tower and a pile of divine materials were sent out.

Chaotic Ancient Cave.

Jiang Hao greatly admired the naturally formed Chaos Inquiry Platform deep within the ancient cave.

"Chaos gave birth to all paths. This platform was created by the creation of heaven and earth, which is in line with the concept of the Heavenly Court that all paths are revered. It can be placed in the Heavenly Court's Palace of All Paths and can serve as the core for discussing the Dao."

The Supreme Being of the Chaotic Ancient Cave remained silent, inwardly grumbling, "Whatever you say goes..."

Then he sent out the Chaos Inquiry Platform and a gourd of Chaos Spirit Sand.

Meteorite Sea.

Jiang Hao took away the Sun and Moon Sky Tower, which floated in the core of the star sea and was made by blending and refining the essence of the sun and the true essence of the moon.

This building can survey the heavens and the earth, regulate yin and yang, and balance spiritual energy. "It perfectly meets the needs of the Heavenly Court for monitoring and regulation."

The supreme being inside dared not say more, and offered up the building itself along with a large amount of Sun Essence Stones and Moon Cold Jade.

The sounds of the heavens and the vast ocean resonate with the lingering sounds of Taoism.

Jiang Hao didn't ask for anything else, but pointed to a piece of floating ruins on the edge of the vast sea.

It is the remains of a star palace in the ancient celestial court during the mythological era. Although it is dilapidated, it retains some ancient array patterns that guide the power of the stars in the heavens, making it of great research value.

"The legacy of the ancient Heavenly Court should be restored to the light of day and enlighten future generations," Jiang Hao said with a touch of emotion.

A celestial being, with complex thoughts, finally sighed and relinquished control of the ruins.

On this day, all the restricted areas experienced what "voluntary generosity" truly means.

Jiang Hao's attitude was always gentle and reasonable, and the reasons he gave were always high-sounding, while the numbers on the list were always heartbreaking.

But no restricted area dared to refuse.

Even if she cursed Jiang Hao a thousand times in her heart, she still had to be respectful on the surface, and even had to give him extra in order not to appear stingy and get picked on.

Suddenly, a strange sight appeared in the universe: streaks of meteors, carrying astonishing light, "voluntarily" flew out from those terrifying and desolate places.

These buildings and materials, which all demonstrate the splendor and profound heritage of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, have now become the bricks, tiles and sand used to build the new Heavenly Court.

The cultivators from all the heavens and myriad realms were dumbfounded.

"Those...flew out of the restricted area?"

"Fully laden with divine offerings and radiant light... Was it robbed?"

"Robbed? Have you ever seen something stolen and then packaged so well and delivered so quickly?"

"That's... the Myriad Tribulations Refining Tower of the Burial God Abyss!"

"The Chaos Inquiry Platform of the Chaos Ancient Cave, the most precious treasure of the Chaos Ancient Cave!"

"And the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court! My God, is the Chaos Emperor going to demolish the ancestral homes of all these ancient emperors and celestial beings?"

"Look at those materials! Nine Nether Divine Iron, Sun Essence Stone...aren't they all rare treasures that would make a Quasi-Emperor fight tooth and nail? And now they're being given away like they're free..."

"It has to be the Chaos Emperor! Every time he makes a move, it's extraordinary!"
