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

Above the Ziwei Starfield, the phantom images of various ancient buildings and dazzling precious light reflected each other, accompanied by the booming of Daoist rhymes.

"It's said that the Chaos Emperor wants to build a Heavenly Court, and these forbidden zones have voluntarily donated building materials..."

"A voluntary donation? Do you believe that? Look at the direction of the Burial Abyss; when the precious light flew out, the entire abyss trembled!"

"Indeed, haha, that's wonderful!"

"The Emperor is mighty! This is how they should be dealt with!"

The heavens were in uproar, and discussions surged like a tide.

Expectations for the soon-to-be-established Heavenly Court reached a new level.

Meanwhile, those supreme beings in the forbidden zones continued their long period of dormancy amidst endless frustration and self-consolation.

Various kinds of celestial gold and divine materials were piled up like mountains, their precious light soaring into the sky, and their Daoist charm intertwined, making the entire starry sky look magnificent and dreamlike.

Xiao Dong, along with a group of elders and disciples, was busy counting, classifying, and recording. They were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground, but their faces were beaming with pride and excitement.

"Sect Master, the Mother Fossil has enough to build three main beams!"

"Sect Master, the essence of Void Divine Iron is enough to outline the array patterns of the entire Southern Heavenly Gate!"

"Sect Master, the amount of All-Encompassing Soil is more than enough to pave the plaza in front of the Lingxiao Palace, with some to spare!"

"..."

Looking at the wealth before him that would drive any power mad, Xiao Dong took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said in a deep voice:

"Carefully inventory and store them properly. These represent the Emperor's image and the foundation of the future Heavenly Court; they cannot be lost!"

"yes!"

Jiang Hao stood in the void above, looking down at the bustling scene and the mountains of gifts below, his expression calm.

He knew how those supreme beings in the restricted area were feeling at that moment, but he didn't care.

These materials, used to build a heavenly palace that benefits all beings, are far more meaningful than being buried in a dark and forbidden zone.

He looked up at the sky.

"The materials are all ready; now it's time to get started."

The void outside the Ziwei Starfield was originally empty except for the stars.

But at this moment, this place has become the most eye-catching focus of the entire universe.

Jiang Hao stood in mid-air, looking at the mountain of various divine materials before him, the precious light illuminating the surrounding chaos.

He took a deep breath, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"open."

Jiang Hao slowly moved his hands in the air, each movement carrying an indescribable Daoist charm.

The void ahead seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand, and a vast and boundless stable space slowly unfolded before him.

This space is unimaginably vast, even more expansive than many ancient stars.

At the edges, chaotic energy flows naturally, forming a natural barrier, while inside, the laws are stable and spiritual energy is abundant.

"The foundation is complete," Jiang Hao muttered to himself, then a thought struck him.

The mountain of sacred materials seemed to come alive and fly up on their own.

Some transformed into towering pillars, shimmering with deep blue starlight.

Some have melted into pieces of glazed tiles, flowing with a vibrant green like life itself.

The plaza floor is paved with fossilized mother stone, giving it a solid and ancient feel.

Starry Jadeite adorns the eaves and pillars, like stars scattered across the sky.

The Void Divine Iron transformed into countless intricate patterns, outlining layers upon layers of protective and spirit-gathering formations in the void...

Jiang Hao was like the most skilled craftsman, and also like a creator god.

He doesn't need hammers or chisels; wherever his mind goes, the Dao flows, and the divine materials automatically take shape and combine.

The prototypes of magnificent palaces began to rise from the ground in this newly opened space.

The magnificent sight made all the cultivators who were peering into the place through their supernatural powers hold their breath, their hearts filled with anticipation as they witnessed the birth of a myth.

At this moment, a plain and unadorned sword light shot leisurely from the edge of the universe and stopped beside Jiang Hao.

It was none other than the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, who had returned from his travels.

His aura was even more harmonious and profound than when he left, and the phantoms of the Four Swords of Zhuxian appeared and disappeared on his sleeves, as calm as an abyss.

Lingbao looked at the vast heavenly palace taking shape before him, then glanced at Jiang Hao, who was working on the project, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang," Lingbao cupped his hands, a genuine smile on his face, "are you preparing to...establish a Heavenly Court?"

Jiang Hao stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Lingbao Tianzun, and smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Lingbao, you have returned from your travels? Indeed, I have seen that although the myriad realms appear prosperous on the surface, they are actually chaotic and disorderly, with hidden undercurrents. Therefore, I wish to establish a central hub of order to gather power, pass on the Dao, and prepare for possible future changes."

His tone was calm, as if he were talking about an ordinary little thing, but the spirit and vision in his words moved even someone like Lingbao.

Lingbao Tianzun laughed heartily, his laughter filled with joy and approval: "Haha, as expected of Fellow Daoist Jiang, you certainly have ideas and boldness. But did you get all these materials from the forbidden zone?"

"That's right, it was a voluntary donation from them," Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"Voluntary donation..." Lingbao Tianzun looked at the mountains below that shone with precious light, then looked at Jiang Hao, a strange smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, your skill in begging for alms is something I've never seen before in all my years of life. It's truly... astounding."

Lingbao Tianzun found the Chaos Emperor before him to be even more domineering and interesting than Daozun.

Although Dao Zun was also very strong, he rarely did such things, and this Chaos Emperor was somewhat astonished by what he had seen and heard over the years.

They torture the restricted area all the time; this supreme ruler of the restricted area is almost tamed.

Lingbao Tianzun looked at the pile of gifts, especially the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court's Star Pivot Palace, and shook his head with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have taken away the palaces, enlightenment sites, and training grounds of the ancient emperors and celestial beings, along with their most treasured possessions, all in one fell swoop. This grand event will likely be remembered by them for the next era."

Jiang Hao gazed at the foundation stones gathered before him, his eyes deep, and smiled:

"The glory of the past shall serve as the stepping stone to tomorrow. Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to join me in creating a Heavenly Court?"

"That is indeed my wish. How could I miss such a momentous event, which has shaken the world for generations to come? I have some knowledge of array formations and battle strategies, and I can lend you a hand!"

"I couldn't ask for more." Jiang Hao nodded happily.

With two of the world's top talents joining forces, their efficiency more than doubles.

Lingbao Tianzun pointed his fingers like a sword, and the phantom images of the Four Swords of Zhuxian flashed and disappeared behind him.

The next moment, countless fine sword energies crisscrossed, precisely carving and polishing the incredibly hard divine material, far more efficient than the most sophisticated tools.

He also laid down layers of hidden and terrifying protective and offensive array patterns at various key points in the Heavenly Court.

These array patterns are consistent with and evolved from his own Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array concept, concealing the mystery of ending and rebirth, and their power is unpredictable.

The two chatted casually as they built, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

"Fellow Daoist's spirit is truly surpassing that of the past," Lingbao exclaimed, looking at the gradually taking shape framework of the thirty-three heavens.

"Even in the mythological era, a heavenly court of such scale and structure was rare."

Jiang Hao integrated a piece of fossil mother into the foundation and asked, "I've heard that the Daoist Master also established a Heavenly Court back then?"

Lingbao nodded, a look of reminiscence in his eyes:

"Yes, Dao Zun once established the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Court established by Dao Zun focused more on the research and deduction of the Dao, like a supreme academy and laboratory."

Its philosophy and direction differ somewhat from yours, fellow Daoist, but it has many advantages, especially in its exploration of the Great Dao and the path to immortality, which is quite remarkable.
