Chapter 1907: Chapter 903: Heavenly Court! (Part 2)

The young man, who was filled with righteous indignation, frowned and said.

“Rule of law? Haha… the rule of law is only for people like us. For those high-ranking officials and nobles, it’s just a dirty piece of paper used as toilet tissue, trampled on at will.”

“It can’t be that bad, can it? This is under the Human Emperor’s rule, in the heart of the Capital. How can people be so arrogant? Where is the court’s dignity?” someone beside him echoed.

“Do you know who that person was just now?”

“Who?”

“That was the young master of the Zhang Family.”

“Which Zhang Family?”

“Which other one could it be? In the harem, which consort’s surname is Zhang? Which Divine Envoy among the Jinyi Guard has the surname Zhang? Who among the Human Emperor’s friends from the early days has the surname Zhang?”

“Hiss….”

Upon hearing this introduction, the people around took a deep breath.

Even the young man who was previously filled with righteous indignation sighed heavily without saying a word.

Being one of the Capital’s ten major families, the Zhang Family’s influence may not be as great as the top noble Jiang Family, but it has incredibly deep roots, with people in the harem and Jinyi Guard.

It even has old ties with the Human Emperor.

Such a force, as long as it doesn’t rebel, can basically rest easy.

It cannot be easily provoked by outsiders like them.

Chen Yuan watched this scene silently, not saying a word.

…

…

In the harem, Chen Yuan gently stroked the Empress’s jade-like back, lightly tapping with his fingers, and with a faint smile, he asked about some interesting stories and news from the past years. Although he was not truly in isolation deep underground before.

There were frequent contacts.

But what he knew was not so comprehensive, and now that he has successfully made a breakthrough, he can take a short rest.

Su Ziyue hardly had anyone to confide in for many years. As the head of the harem, she needed to have authority and naturally could not be as friendly as before with those sisters.

Nor would she speak any heartfelt words.

As for Li Hongshuang, she could not fully withdraw either.

Now that Chen Yuan has returned, naturally more will be said.

She spoke of her cultivation, having broken through to the peak of the Yang God under the powerful resources supplied by the Dynasty, and her next step is to prepare for comprehending rules.

She spoke of the sisters in the harem who have now all broken through beyond the Core Realm, with people like Beiming Xue and Yu Qingyan now having broken through to the Refining God Level.

She spoke of Jiang He, who has now broken through to the late Human Immortal stage, with increasingly terrifying strength.

She spoke of Chu Changfeng, who has comprehended rules, and could enter the Six Realms at any time.

She spoke of Li Su Qing, Yang Huatian, and also about Crown Prince Chen Cheng’s growth and some interesting stories over the years.

“This child is a little mischievous, but he doesn’t make mistakes in major matters…” Su Ziyue said with a light laugh, covering her mouth after hearing about the events that transpired when Chen Yuan met Chen Cheng.

“In your opinion, can Sheng’er take on the great responsibility now?”

Chen Yuan nodded, remained silent for a while, and continued.

“What do you mean?”

“The human world is stable, but outside the realm is unsettled and could overturn at any moment. The idea of opening the Immortal Domain and establishing the Heavenly Court mentioned before can now be put on the agenda. Afterwards, I plan to have Sheng’er ascend the throne and declare himself Emperor.

And you and I… thereafter, will reside in the Immortal Domain….”

Chen Yuan revealed his plans without concealment, including matters regarding the reward for some of the court ministers.

“I will follow the Emperor’s arrangements for everything.”

“Haha… good.”

…..

In the days since returning, Chen Yuan accompanied the women of the harem several times each, genuinely enjoying himself, releasing the power accumulated over more than ten years through them all.

Overall, both sides were very pleased.

Currently, Chen Yuan has no other offspring besides Chen Cheng, not because he doesn’t want to, but because indeed it is difficult since the higher the level of life, the fewer opportunities to have offspring.

Especially when the gap between the two is too large, the hope is even more remote.

After informing everyone of this, it immediately sparked a cultivation frenzy, and Chen Yuan was not stingy, using his power to feed back their cultivation.

For him, even a tiny bit of feeding back could save them decades of time.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed.

Otherwise, even with their strength they wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Amid the joy, Chen Yuan casually mentioned the younger generations of the Zhang Family, causing Zhang Wanshu to worry deeply, requesting leave to return home to inform her father Zhang Yantong.

The young master of the Zhang Family, who rampaged through the Capital, was immediately sent to Japan to train for twenty years.

And this was all because of a single rampage down the street.

Perhaps even that young master of the Zhang Family did not realize when he became qualified to upset the Human Emperor.

After the banishment, Zhang Yantong immediately submitted a memorial to confess his guilt, saying he did not discipline his family strictly and humbly requested the Emperor to punish him.

Chen Yuan symbolically reprimanded a few words before letting the matter drop.

But the impact was just beginning, and the court ministers, aware of the current Emperor’s temperament, took precautionary measures by banishing their own unruly children.

Even if they’re troublemakers, they shouldn’t try to be noticeable under the Human Emperor’s eye.

If they bring calamity to the family, it would be irreparable.

And during these few days, the biggest news was that the Human Emperor, after more than a dozen years, attended court again. This time it was a great assembly proclaiming to the world, summoning kings from different regions.

Immortal Sect Leaders and nobles of all levels were required to attend.

The court deliberations lasted over ten days, during which Emperor Chen Yuan, from a macro perspective, provided guidance on the future direction of the world, and met with several Martial Arts geniuses who emerged from the poor.

He also granted amnesty to the world, celebrating with the populace.

And before the great assembly concluded, Chen Yuan, for the first time, revealed some matters about the Immortal Domain to the ministers below, stating that those with merit could enter the Immortal Domain to serve.

In the future, they may enjoy immortality.

Naturally, this caused a huge sensation.

Even if they aren’t pursuing immortality, merely the pursuit of power meant they couldn’t miss this rare opportunity.

Establishing the Heavenly Court and controlling the human world.

It can be foreseen that after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the power of the entire human world will shift into the Immortal Domain, creating a huge divide with the human world thereafter.

Countless people began to seek connections and pathways.

Unfortunately, while they had the idea, they couldn’t execute it.

Because the Immortal Domain’s capacity is limited, if too many people flood into it, it’ll certainly cause the thinning of the Primordial Energy, making it counterproductive.

Regarding this, Chen Yuan only plans to take a portion of people this time.

Among them, the vast majority will be Heavenly Soldiers and Generals selected from the palace and the military, practicing formations ready for the future.

Besides, another piece of news stirred a huge wave within Divine Capital City, making countless people envy the Jiang Family despite their helplessness.

This news is the Emperor’s decree, granting Crown Prince Chen Cheng a marriage, marrying a lady from the Jiang Family into the palace as the Crown Princess Consort.

The message is short, but…. it represents a significant weight.

The Jiang Family had long been considered the foremost gate valve of Great Yan, and now it’s deemed to share prosperity with the nation that, as long as Great Yan endures, the Jiang Family will surely flourish.

However, not many people resent this.

Because Jiang He has no children, so the Jiang Family’s lineage is thin.

Even if their prestige is unparalleled, it doesn’t occupy too many resources.

Otherwise, the interest groups formed over decades would certainly find ways to disrupt this marriage.

These situations, Chen Yuan had anticipated long ago.

They can share hardships, but they can’t share prosperity.

Because once people achieve prosperity, what they think and desire multiplies.

While rebellion is implausible, considering the welfare of their families is still quite normal.

And just as the world is stirred by the Crown Prince’s marriage and the establishment of the Heavenly Court, instigator Chen Yuan leaves the Imperial Palace and enters the Immortal Domain.

This time, he comes to refine the Eternal Life Platform.

Previously, he didn’t refine it because he was wary of the Taihao Immortal Venerable, always sensing some ulterior moves, so he postponed it. Now, decades have passed, and Taihao Immortal Venerable has vanished.

He certainly can’t wait any longer.

Moreover, the Eternal Life Platform is an absolute tool for repelling evil demons from outside the domain, and its undying feature serves as multiple chances for Chen Yuan’s side of immortals.

Preventing instant death in battle.

Simultaneously, he can also rely on the Eternal Life Platform to control the fates of all immortals seeking longevity.
