Chapter 992: Lord of the Celestial Court
"Great General Xu Hong".
Han spoke, his voice steady, yet carrying an invisible sense of spatial stillness: "You just came from the inheritance cave?"
"Indeed, my little apprentice Bai Feier has passed the first trial."
A glint of light flashed in Tao's eyes, carrying a barely perceptible inquiry: "Oh, that rising star from the barren source realm?"
"It seems that our Immortal Sect has picked up a good seedling this time. We all know about the situation of this first trial, and it is still brutal."
His words carried a hint of approval, but nothing more.
For beings like them, a rising star with no background was not worth their attention. Han was more direct; his gaze swept around, and his invisible will isolated the area to ensure their conversation was not overheard: "Are you going to meet the God?"
The Eternal Heavenly Lord is the Lord of the Eternal Celestial Court, the strongest being in the open about the Immortal Dao Civilization, with an unparalleled and revered status, second only to the Epochal God "Primordial Dao Ancestor".
However, this God was the leader of the "God's Descendants" faction.
Although on the surface, regardless of factions, the entire Eternal Celestial Court is under the jurisdiction and command of the Celestial Court Lord, the open and covert struggles between the "Divine Descendants Faction" and the "Celestial Path Faction" have never ceased in secret.
Resources, authority, the right to interpret divine will...
Some of these are the reasons that make them fight.
Xu Hong readily admitted, "Yes, as is customary, each great god must report the results of this trial to God."
The Trial of Divine General Inheritance is related to the succession and replacement of the Celestial Court's divine generals. The Celestial Court Lord doesn't actually get involved much, having mostly delegated the task to the "Eternal Holy Ministers" below him. This is the only thing the Celestial Court Lord needs to be concerned about.
after all.
Anyone who enters the ranks of the gods is qualified to receive "divine authority"!
The Primordial Dao Ancestor bestowed his divine power as a reward upon all beings, which is why the Eternal Immortal Court is able to have "Divine Generals," who can truly wield divine power.
Although how much power one can actually use depends entirely on how powerful the authority granted is, having it is better than having none at all.
Tao's tone remained gentle, yet carried a hint of sharpness: "In recent years, the Divine Descendants Sect has been increasingly interfering in the selection and training of divine generals for our Immortal Dao Sect..."
“Those descendants of the gods are already ahead in cultivation, and now they want to interfere in our affairs.”
Han nodded slightly, but still reminded him, "Xu Hong, just follow the rules. Answer whatever the Lord asks, and don't say anything unnecessary." Xu Hong's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied, "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, both Holy Ministers."
Han and Tao said no more, exchanged a glance, and then their figures seemed to merge into the light and disappear instantly.
Their purpose in coming here seems to be to confirm Xu Hong's movements and offer a brief warning.
After seeing off the two big shots, Xu Hong continued on his way.
Passing through layers of invisible barriers constructed of pure, mysterious light, the concept of space becomes exceptionally stable and complex here.
Finally, he arrived at a vast and mysterious hall that defied description.
There is no dome here, only an endless sky composed of primordial light flowing with Daoist runes, and beneath your feet is a smooth, mirror-like surface that reflects the strange shadows of the stars' birth and death.
In the center of the hall stands a crystal throne.
Atop the throne sat only a blurry figure. The Lord of the Eternal Celestial Court, the Lord of the Eternal Heaven.
The leader of the Immortal Dao civilization.
Xu Hong stopped when he was still a great distance from the throne, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your subordinate Xu Hong greets the Lord."
He only sensed and saw a blurry outline shrouded in endless divine radiance and distorted space, an ancient aura that seemed to converge with the fortune of the entire Eternal Heaven and even the Immortal Dao civilization, spreading out in waves like an invisible tide.
This aura surpassed the conceptual pressure of Xu Hong himself, carrying an absolute sense of sublimity that was almost "destined by fate".
His gaze was lowered, not looking directly at the throne, not because he dared not, but because he could not.
Xu Hong couldn't even lift his head in front of the Lord of the Celestial Court.
It was as if a force was pressing down on the back of his neck, causing him to lower his head.
A calm and indifferent voice, seemingly composed of countless overlapping and interwoven voices yet strangely unified, resounded directly in Xu Hong's mind: "Xu Hong, how is the inheritance trial going?"
The voice was devoid of joy or sorrow, revealing no emotion whatsoever, yet it carried an unquestionable, absolute will.
Xu Hong's mind sharpened, but he maintained a respectful posture and replied truthfully, "Reporting to the Heavenly Lord, my successor, Bai Feier, has passed the first trial of inheritance."
The figure on the throne seemed to be making no movement, but the distorted space that enveloped Him seemed to have undergone an extremely subtle and imperceptible change in its rhythm.
The overlapping voices resounded directly in Xu Hong's sea of consciousness once again: "Very good."
"Go down."
There were no further questions, no interest whatsoever in Bai Feier herself, as if this was merely a routine report of results, and once the answer was received, there was no need for further communication.
"Yes, I am resigning."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hong bowed again and, maintaining a respectful posture, slowly retreated until he exited the hall shrouded in distorted space.
The routine work is over.
The Lord of the Celestial Court did not ask him any questions outside of the trial.
Everything is going smoothly... right?
