This Human Immortal Is Too Serious-Chapter 447 - 445: A Dream of 3000 Scenes in the Mortal World [Seeking Monthly Ticket Support]

Could it be that such matters between men and women also conceal opportunities for breakthroughs?

A few days later, in the early morning, Wu Wang changed into his long robe and sat on the throne in the court hall. Below, over ten figures stood bowing in salute, but Wu Wang couldn't help but be somewhat lost in thought.

After uniting with Xiaolan, I gained a completely new understanding of the Yin and Yang Path. Today, after performing the grand ceremony with the Young Master, I actually grasped a bit of the mystery of the Great Dao of Reproduction and, incidentally, shared my understanding of the Yin and Yang Path with the Young Master.

When I came to attend to state affairs, she was still hiding in the water, deeply asleep, as if she had gained many insights.

This... is wonderful.

As Wu Wang's thoughts wandered, a hint of a smile touched his lips, and Yun Zhongjun, by his side, was momentarily taken aback.

The dozen or so divine beings of the Celestial Court bowing below couldn't help but secretly wonder if they had misspoken.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Yun Zhongjun called out twice before Wu Wang returned to his senses, a slight smile in his eyes.

Wu Wang made no attempt to hide it, saying directly, "I was a bit distracted just now, my mind was on other matters. Where were we?"

"Your Majesty," Yun Zhongjun said with a smile, "we were just discussing Emperor's City. Six to seven-tenths of the living beings there have been dispersed. The Alliance of Hundred Tribes, formed earlier, has become somewhat disorganized, and its efficiency in handling various affairs is extremely low. Therefore, there's a proposal to rename Emperor's City to the Kingdom of All Under Heaven and appoint a King."

"The Kingdom of All Under Heaven?"

Wu Wang murmured to himself, then asked, "Have all the hundred races' beings in my God of Spring's Divine World truly been dispersed?"

"Well..."

Yun Zhongjun hesitated for a moment, but Wu Wang had already begun divining with his fingers.

The Heavenly Dao revealed that the key figures in the God of Spring's Divine World—Da Yi, the Grand Elder, General Xiong San, Hu Sheng, Kan Tianhou, and others—had now become 'leaders' within the Alliance of Hundred Tribes. However, they were clearly struggling to manage the sudden surge in responsibilities.

Yang Wudi, however, had not openly revealed his whereabouts.

Inevitably, the original inhabitants of the God of Spring's Divine World had attained a somewhat transcendent status. Although the Grand Elder and others had issued several orders, these beings were not foolish and had not left the God of Spring's Divine World.

After a moment of thought, Wu Wang said, "Issue a decree: Transfer General Xiong San to the Celestial Court to serve as Grand Marshal of the Palace Guards, responsible for my daily security. The name 'Kingdom of All Under Heaven' is unappealing; change it to... Tianlan City. Yun Zhongjun, select six elders from the Hundred Races outside the Human Domain. They, along with the Grand Elder, Hu Sheng, and Kan Tianhou, will form the Nine Lives Pavilion. All matters within the Pavilion will be decided by these nine through consultation. Also, I recall the Western Wilderness previously presented some arrows as tribute, correct? They are said to be ancient relics?"

"Correct." Yun Zhongjun divined with his fingers and quickly added, "There are nine arrows in total, Divine Weapons left from the Third Godly Era. Unfortunately, the bow was destroyed."

"Mm," Wu Wang's heart stirred, but he said calmly, without betraying any emotion, "Bestow these nine arrows upon my First Divine General, Da Yi. Also, give Da Yi a plaque inscribed with 'First Divine General'."

Yun Zhongjun nodded with a smile and said to those below, "His Majesty has issued a decree. Why has no one come forward to receive it?"

Wu Wang chuckled inwardly. Once these state affairs were handled, he could go back to his dear Young Master...

But who would have thought!

"This subject obeys the decree!"

An old god bowed his head to accept the order and hastily departed.

The dozen or so remaining old immortals maintained their bowed posture; clearly, they had only reported the first matter.

Yun Zhongjun, seeming to sense Wu Wang's intention to leave, calmly blocked the way beside Wu Wang's throne and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the review of the existing divine spirits in the Eastern Wilderness is nearly complete... Are they not going to present the report?"

Another old god stepped forward, presenting a memorial with both hands, and then began to speak eloquently.

Wu Wang had no choice but to sit up straighter, listening with a smile.

If disturbing a newlywed couple's honeymoon is cruel, then Brother Yun Zhongjun is downright vicious!

Has it been easy for me? I finally managed to... consummate things with the Young Master, just as things were falling into place. I was just starting to think about the joys of our new garden, about reviewing the... lessons of the past few days! How can he not understand the look in my eyes?

However, having been the Heavenly Emperor for only a few months, Wu Wang was also beginning to appreciate the joy of the saying, 'Henceforth, the sovereign holds no early court.'

It wasn't that the Young Master was too adorable; it was more that the Reproduction Goddess was just too captivating.

Whether it was her divine body as a spirit of the Great Dao or her pure, innocent eyes, both made Wu Wang's heart yearn and his spirit soar. He longed to see her eyes glistening with emotion.

Thus, seven or eight hours passed.

The handling of state affairs came to a temporary close. Wu Wang slumped on the throne, his mind utterly blank.

Yun Zhongjun asked, puzzled, "Your Majesty, why do you keep getting distracted today? If word of this gets out, I fear it will cause some concern throughout the Celestial Court."

Wu Wang chuckled. "Brother, have you ever had a Dao companion?"

Yun Zhongjun honestly shook his head.

"Well, there you have it," Wu Wang laughed. "You can't imagine the... flavor of it."

"I haven't had a Dao companion," Yun Zhongjun replied with a calm smile, "but when I was bored in the Third Divine Realm, I did have quite a few... bedmates. It's a pity that most of them vanished during the turning of the godly eras. Sometimes, I can't help but miss them, so I made some beautiful wooden puppets."

Wu Wang silently gave him a thumbs-up. "You're something else."

"What's that?" Yun Zhongjun shook his head. "It's just that Your Majesty's foundation is too shallow. You've moved too quickly. Getting together with a supreme goddess like the Young Master at such a young age... you won't have much room for improvement later on."

Wu Wang slapped the armrest of his seat and stood up, laughing. "'A thousand worldly dreams are but fleeting illusions.' I'm going back to rest. If there's nothing urgent, call me in half a month."

"Half a month?"

Yun Zhongjun's eyes widened. "Your Majesty, if you disappear for half a month, the Celestial Court will surely descend into chaos!"

"Then seven days!"

"Three days at most!"

"Deal." Wu Wang snapped his fingers, and his figure vanished instantly.

Yun Zhongjun was left alone in the hall, feeling utterly flustered. His mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but press a hand to his forehead.

Why are his pleasures so... primitive? Possessing the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, looking down upon all living beings, deciding the fates of countless creatures—isn't that a greater joy? How could he... Ah, forget it. I suppose I'm stuck on this pirate ship with him now.

Yun Zhongjun bowed his head and picked up the memorials Wu Wang had approved. He quickly scanned their contents again, checking for any overlooked errors or awkward phrasing.

Ah, I forgot to ask His Majesty how to handle the ever-increasing faith power from the Northern Wilderness.

Yun Zhongjun chuckled awkwardly to himself; he too had been overwhelmed by the multitude of trivial matters.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Yun Zhongjun couldn't find any trace of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor in the Eighth Heaven. After a moment's thought, Yun Zhongjun decided to use the authority granted to him by the Heavenly Dao.

Soon, the Heavenly Dao provided feedback: its leader was currently in a corner of the Seventh Heaven.

Yun Zhongjun's gaze fell upon a celestial temple suffused with divine light.

Yun Zhongjun was, of course, intimately familiar with this place, as he had personally designed and overseen its construction.

The place was named Hidden Dragon Hall. Inside, there wasn't much furniture yet, only a square pool. Wu Wang was currently standing by the pool's edge, hands behind his back, gazing at the 'little snake' that bobbed up and down in the golden light within.

Yun Zhongjun took a step and appeared outside Hidden Dragon Hall, doing his best to conceal his aura to avoid disturbing His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

A moment later, Wu Wang strolled out, his hands still clasped behind his back.

"Your Majesty," Yun Zhongjun called out.

"Brother, why did you follow me here?"

"Your Majesty," Yun Zhongjun said with a smile, "this servant forgot to report something. The Star God's divine body has been destroyed, and the faith power from the Northern Wilderness has nowhere to be channeled. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Wu Wang glanced at the disc within his storage magic treasure.

He was about to suggest channeling the faith power from the Northern Wilderness into the Celestial Court's Pool of Divine Power, but a thought flickered through his mind, and he said instead, "Create a sanctuary for the Star God, modeled after the Old Heavenly Palace, and establish a new Pool of Divine Power there. In our current Celestial Court system, Heavenly Dao merits and incense merits are rapidly replacing the divine power of the Old Heavenly Palace. The gods have also begun seeking Heavenly Dao merits to strengthen themselves; divine power is gradually receding from the stage of the Great Wilderness. For now, however, let's maintain a Pool of Divine Power in the Northern Wilderness. It might prove useful for emergencies in the future."

"Yes," Yun Zhongjun responded warmly. "This servant obeys the decree... How is the Whistling Serpent's condition?"

"She will need at least three to five more years to reconstruct her body."

Wu Wang chuckled. "However, to have preserved her life is already a great fortune amidst misfortune. For that, I must thank you, Brother."

Yun Zhongjun raised an eyebrow. Though he said, "Your Majesty overstates it," his expression was tinged with smugness.

Wu Wang gestured, and the two gods began to stroll outward from this corner of the Celestial Court, chatting leisurely.

A mystical Dao presence swirled around them. They didn't hide their forms, yet anyone else's gaze falling upon them would retain no impression.

After a few dozen paces, Yun Zhongjun chuckled. "Your Majesty, what made you suddenly think of visiting the Whistling Serpent?"

"She just came to mind," Wu Wang said, the corner of his mouth twitching. "A few days ago, the Moon God invited me to the Moon Palace to admire the moon."

Yun Zhongjun's eyes lit up. "And Your Majesty went?"

Wu Wang said casually, "Naturally, I went. Would I be afraid of her?"

Yun Zhongjun's eyebrows twitched. "Then this servant won't ask Your Majesty how it... tasted."

"What nonsense are you thinking!"

Wu Wang laughed and chided, "Brother, don't speak such nonsense! I, the great Eastern Emperor Taiyi, have a reputation to maintain!"

"Yes, yes," Yun Zhongjun said, intrigued. "If the Moon God took the initiative to invite you, she must be unable to restrain herself any longer, wanting to secure another powerful backer. She is the most beautiful goddess of the Fifth Godly Era. Could Your Majesty's willpower truly withstand her allure?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi silently activated the Great Array of Zhoutian Stars.

"Your Majesty's willpower can, of course, withstand her seductions!"

"Hmph!"

Wu Wang flicked his sleeve, smiled smugly, and then sighed softly. "It's... quite lamentable, in a way. A goddess like her, all beauty but no backbone. It was Emperor Shun who was too ruthless, completely obliterating her personality, leaving only an empty vessel."

"That was relatively gentle," Yun Zhongjun said with a smile. "Does Your Majesty know that the Third God King also committed many atrocities?"

"Oh? Tell me more."

"He was the type to be swift and decisive in killing," Yun Zhongjun said, his eyes tinged with reminiscence. "My slight discord with him stemmed from an incident where, in a fit of rage, he raised his hand and annihilated an entire tribe of Innate creatures, along with any Innate Gods connected to them. All were exterminated."

Wu Wang couldn't help but frown deeply.

Yun Zhongjun sighed. "As the godly eras progressed, the general trend has been an increasing emphasis on the individual's right to exist. I don't know what the First Godly Era was like, but the Second was utter chaos. The Third God King could be considered an enlightened ruler, yet he was responsible for too many innocent deaths. By Emperor Shun's time, things had actually become relatively moderate. Does Your Majesty know that when the Candle Dragon was in power, there were only two rules for punishment?"

"Which two?"

"Either innocent, or devoured."

Wu Wang's eyes widened. "That brutal?"

Yun Zhongjun said, "That is why the gods secretly allied."

Wu Wang asked, "Then, those Innate Gods who followed the Candle Dragon—why were they still so loyal to him?"

"These Innate Gods were of two types: one group consisted of the Candle Dragon's closest kin and friends, and the other comprised Innate Gods who had been marginalized by Emperor Shun and Xihe and who posed a threat to them."

Yun Zhongjun chose his words carefully. "The ancient divine war was full of twists and turns, with constant reversals. Emperor Shun and Xihe initially hid in the shadows while the Star God stepped forward to challenge the Candle Dragon. As this battle unfolded, the gods began to polarize and choose sides. At that time, Emperor Shun was already one of the strong gods between Heaven and Earth and an important minister to the Candle Dragon. In his rise to power, he naturally made enemies and rivals. So, it wasn't that some gods didn't want to oppose the Candle Dragon and join the new order; rather, if they joined the new order, their fate would be death at Emperor Shun's hands. By staying with the Candle Dragon, they at least had a chance of survival."

Wu Wang nodded slowly. "I've thought of a way to rescue Mother and Jingwei."

"Oh? And how is that?"

"Scatter the seeds of the Heavenly Dao," Wu Wang said seriously. "Let the Heavenly Dao slowly take root in the Outer Sky. Before Emperor Shun and the Candle Dragon notice anything amiss, we'll gather as many Great Daos as possible. Since the Outer Sky isn't an impenetrable monolith, we can employ a strategy of 'replacing the heavens with another'."

"'Replacing the heavens with another'?"

Yun Zhongjun fell into deep thought, continuously calculating the feasibility of this plan.

Wu Wang smiled. "Take your time with the calculations. Contact me later if any issues arise. I'm going into seclusion now."

Seclusion? Yun Zhongjun smiled but said nothing. More like a garden bursting with spring.

「Eighth Heaven, Eastern Emperor's sleeping chambers.」

The Divine Guards before the hall had all been dismissed. Xiong Ming, who had just toured the area, had also been led away by Nu Chou to play elsewhere.

At the hall's entrance, Wu Wang raised his hand and gently tapped. The power of the Heavenly Dao condensed into a stone stele, upon which was inscribed: "Eastern Emperor's Secluded Meditation—Heavenly Dao Forbidden Zone."

Upon entering the hall, Wu Wang had just casually set up a barrier with the power of the Heavenly Dao when a figure flashed out from behind him. Two jade-like hands wrapped around his neck, and a soft body pressed against his back, as if unwilling to be parted for even a moment.

Wu Wang chuckled. "Rested well?"

"Mhm." The Young Master's forehead rested against Wu Wang's back, and she nuzzled him gently.

Wu Wang stood there quietly, feeling the gentle rise and fall of her emotions, savoring this peaceful and beautiful moment of tenderness.

Then, he simply stood there for a full hour.

The Young Master remained pressed against Wu Wang's back, her boundless affection almost melting him.

In a nearby corner, from behind a crack in the door, several pairs of eyes, one above the other, were intently watching the scene.

Lin Suqing couldn't help but mutter, "Is being intimate with an Innate God this troublesome? A single action lasts for an hour? If they were to kiss, would it take an entire day?"

Yu Fenman and a few other maidens covered their mouths, stifling soft giggles.

Suddenly, a golden barrier materialized out of thin air, enclosing them where they stood.

Lin Suqing's lips curled. "Stingy jerk, go drink cold water! Won't even let us watch!"

Yu Fenman asked, puzzled, "When has His Majesty ever let us watch?"

"Idiot!" Lin Suqing raised her hand and tapped Yu Fenman on the head. "If I complain a bit, maybe we'll get to see something! Honestly, the more you serve the Young Master, the more of a blockhead you become."

The princess of the Feather Country looked aggrieved but dared not say anything in rebuttal.

Suqing, after all, was the veteran head of the maidens.

In a corner of the divine hall, Wu Wang embraced the Young Master. They sat together in the hanging basket, watching the sea of clouds churning outside the window.

No amount of intimacy seemed enough; they wished they could melt into each other, become each other's very clothes.

Wu Wang, full of youthful vigor, naturally couldn't restrain himself for long.

「A return to the garden's pleasures.」

Another half a day later, the Young Master and Wu Wang awoke in each other's embrace. A radiant smile touched the corners of her eyes; it was as if her entire demeanor had changed overnight.

She had become purer, more carefree, and also more tender.

On the soft couch, nestled in his embrace, she would say with a light chuckle, "So, how was it? I understand everything now, don't I?"

Wu Wang chuckled. "Yes, yes, my wife understands best."

"Heehee, hold me."

「A return to the garden's pleasures.」

She rose to prepare a cup of tea for Wu Wang. He couldn't help but remind her, "You should put on your dress..."

"No. If I put it on, I'll just have to take it off again later. Wouldn't that be redundant?"

"This...!"

Wu Wang lay on his side, propped up on an elbow, watching her retreating figure with undivided attention.

This is probably the beginning of my wonderful life in the Celestial Court, he thought.

And so, the Eastern Emperor remained in 'seclusion' for several days, thoroughly enjoying the 'pleasures of the garden,' while state affairs in the Celestial Court piled up like a mountain. Yun Zhongjun nearly led a party to break down his door.
