As the construction of the Four Great Battle Departments was in full swing, a month later, the celestial architecture of the Heavenly Court was completed. Although the resources were certainly not as abundant as those of the previous Heavenly Court, the newly rebuilt structure exuded a unique grandeur.
The remaining buildings were not of much importance anymore. At this moment, some individuals had arrived at the Heavenly Court ahead of schedule. Chen Feng quickly arranged for these people to find suitable places to cultivate and rest. He knew that more and more people would come to the Heavenly Court in the days to come. All he needed to do was maintain order and manage their arrangements. He believed that under Chen Moxuan's recent display of strength after defeating Mo Zu, no one would dare to cause trouble here.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Court transformed from a desolate place into a bustling hub. On this day, Shao Lanyin appeared outside the Heavenly Court. As she gazed upon the new structure, a nostalgic look flickered in her eyes. Without alarming anyone, she made her way to where Chen Moxuan was.
"Master, you’ve come!" Seeing Shao Lanyin brought a smile to his face.
"I never expected your strength to have grown to such an extent. How did you manage to kill Mo Zu?" If anyone else had asked, Chen Moxuan would have certainly remained tight-lipped. But Shao Lanyin was an exception.
He explained how he absorbed the Ling Qi from Ban Baoyu, reaching the pinnacle of the Great Ascension stage, and how he subsequently underwent the Ascend to Immortality tribulation, fully mastering the Power of Strength. He also shared how he obtained Ancestral Witch Essence and absorbed the mark of the Ancestral Shaman within it, allowing his will and physical form to undergo another transformation.
"So you have mastered the Power of Strength and are about to forge your own path. No wonder you could kill Mo Zu!" After hearing all this, Shao Lanyin felt a mix of admiration and understanding regarding Chen Moxuan's capability to defeat Mo Zu.
"You've truly graduated; you won't call me Master anymore!"
"If I don’t call you Master, what should I call you?"
Rarely playful, Chen Moxuan teased her back. "You’re already at Xianzun’s level; don’t be so casual!"
Shao Lanyin scolded him lightly, but her smile couldn’t be hidden. When she laughed, she appeared even more beautiful. After joking with Chen Moxuan, she felt her heavy heart lighten considerably. Perhaps it was also because Chen Moxuan had killed Mo Zu; she knew his strength could stand firm against many challenges.
Next, the two discussed the formation of the Heavenly Court. In this regard, Chen Moxuan only understood some basic concepts and essential elements; he was unaware of many details. Fortunately, Shao Lanyin had a deeper understanding and provided valuable insights that greatly improved their reconstruction plans.
At the same time, Shao Lanyin informed Chen Moxuan that she had called upon some friends to support him, encouraging him to compete with confidence.
To ensure that the results are fair and just, one must rely on their true abilities to ascend as the Heavenly Emperor. The master and disciple engaged in discussions for several days and nights, a rare occurrence for them. During these conversations, their bond deepened unknowingly.
Time flowed like water. At this moment, powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm had already arrived, along with significant forces. Chen Feng made excellent arrangements for their accommodations. The Heavenly Realm became increasingly lively. Remarkably, no battles had erupted; instead, everyone was engaged in discussions about what the Heavenly Realm would be like after its establishment, whether Chen Moxuan could become the Heavenly Emperor, and who else might have the potential to claim that title.
They debated whether the Heavenly Realm could withstand the Underworld Realm and protect the Three Realms. The enthusiasm of the discussions absorbed everyone’s emotions, preventing any conflicts from arising despite underlying grievances. The powerful beings that came were primarily focused on conserving their strength.
Competition was not limited to the position of Heavenly Emperor; positions beneath it, such as the Four Heavenly Kings and various Tian Guan officials, also required competition. This would undoubtedly lead to spectacular battles.
Six months passed in this manner. During this time, all the powerful beings and major forces that were supposed to arrive had essentially gathered. Remarkably, there had been no battles; no one challenged Chen Moxuan privately or prematurely.
Everyone awaited a particular day. When that day came, Chen Moxuan flew to the sky above the Heavenly Realm and looked at the multitude surrounding him. He spoke loudly:
"Thank you all for coming to the Heavenly Realm to participate in its reconstruction and to be part of our resistance against the Cataclysm. I am deeply grateful."
After finishing his speech, he bowed in all directions. Everyone understood that he intended to rebuild the Heavenly Realm and that it could not exist without a leader; thus, he volunteered himself to become the Heavenly Emperor.
"I know that among you there are those who may doubt my strength or believe themselves worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor. Now is your chance to challenge me! Whoever can defeat me will become the Heavenly Emperor!"
Chen Moxuan was straightforward in expressing his intentions. He believed that if they were to choose a leader, they should first establish who would be the Heavenly Emperor so that they could proceed with subsequent matters.
"Alright, Young Master Chen, I will test your strength!" A burly middle-aged man soared into the sky and approached Chen Moxuan.
It was Longhu Xian Di, Zhou Chuanshan! He was the founder of Longhu Mountain, and it was astonishing that he was still alive!
It was truly exhilarating; the Immortal Emperor had come out to challenge right from the start. I heard that Chen Moxuan had reached the cultivation level of Xianzun!
Doesn't that mean he is even more powerful? A Xianzun's cultivation could easily defeat Mo Zu!
It's simply unbelievable; it seems this will be yet another unprecedented battle!
Everyone eagerly watched the impending fight.
"Alright, Zhou Xian Di, please go ahead!"
Facing Zhou Chuanshan, Chen Moxuan wore a calm expression and did not seem nervous at all. He appeared confident, as if he had everything under control.
He even encouraged Zhou Chuanshan to attack first!
"Be careful, Chen Gongzi!"
"Dragon-Tiger Duality Palm!"
As Zhou Chuanshan launched his attack, he went all out against Chen Moxuan, the one who had defeated Mo Zu!
Suddenly, a green dragon and a white tiger emerged from his body, coiling around his arms. With a powerful strike, he aimed at Chen Moxuan.
The force of Longhu Da was concentrated in that palm strike. Zhou Chuanshan skillfully controlled this immense power, and as he attacked, Chen Moxuan sensed that Zhou Chuanshan's strength was somewhat greater than that of the deceased Mo Zu.
"Wufang Wutian Fist!"
Chen Moxuan retaliated with a punch of his own. The two attacks collided fiercely; Chen Moxuan's strike shattered Longhu Da and continued toward Zhou Chuanshan.
Zhou Chuanshan quickly activated Dragon Tiger Space to evade the blow!
In that moment, he realized he had lost!
