Chapter 1413 — Co-Lord of the Heavenly Alliance
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Zaofu Heavenly Palace undertook the construction of divine weapons and heavy artifacts, tower ships and great vessels, even heavenly palaces for the various armies of the Heavenly Court. Even when Heavenly Venerables wanted to forge heavy treasures, the early stages had to be done by the Zaofu Heavenly Palace.
In recent years, the Zaofu Heavenly Palace's wealth had become staggering. It farmed out the forging of divine weapons, tower ships, great vessels, and spirit-energy translocation bridges to Jingping at rock-bottom prices, yet reported doubled prices to the Heavenly Court!
Every Heavenly Venerable knew Shi Qiluo was greedy for wealth, but none had expected he had embezzled so much—enough to forge three divine artifacts, the Imperial Heavenly Venerables!
More terrifying still, he only said he had three. No one knew how many he had actually made!
The Ancestral God King suddenly laughed heartily. "I have no objection to Shi Qiluo taking a Heavenly Venerable seat."
The other Heavenly Venerables nodded as well. "No objection."
Heavenly Venerable Hao looked at Shen Mu and said solemnly, "What does the Alliance Lord think?"
Shen Mu smiled slightly and nodded. "Heavenly Venerable Shi, please take your seat."
Yun Chuxiu bowed and sat down.
Heavenly Venerable Hao said, "Heavenly Venerable Shi may take a share of the interests in the Ancestral Court. He may also take a share of the interests on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court. As for Long Xiao and the ancient giant beasts, what are your views?"
In the hall, the Heavenly Venerables each wore an intrigued smile.
Heavenly Venerable Hao coughed and said solemnly, "The matter of the Beast Realm was spread by the Alliance Lord. What does the Alliance Lord think?"
Shen Mu smiled. "It's an excellent thing. If the giant beasts remain on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court, the greatest benefit would only go to those with powerful divine consciousness. So it's better to establish the Beast Realm and teach summoning divine abilities."
"The Beast Realm is feasible," said Heavenly Venerable Gong with a smile.
Divine Emperor Langxuan praised, "The Alliance Lord is indeed exceptionally wise. I also think the Beast Realm is feasible."
The others all praised in turn. "Feasible, feasible."
Shen Mu asked again, "Is it feasible for Long Xiao to be lord of the Beast Realm?"
Heavenly Venerable Hong said, "The Beast Realm needs a divine sage to manage it, impartial and unbiased. If Long Xiao can do that, then letting him become lord of the Beast Realm is fine."
The other Heavenly Venerables nodded. Heavenly Venerable Huo said, "Long Xiao is unruly and hard to tame. He knows the Heavenly Venerables are formidable, but he may not be willing to serve us."
Shen Mu smiled slightly. "Long Xiao, come out!"
Behind him, the void suddenly split open, and nine massive dragon heads emerged. Long Xiao's eighteen eyes opened, blazing brilliantly, illuminating the Heavenly Venerable Hall in a sheet of white.
"Long Xiao, Ancient God King, pays respects to the Heavenly Venerables, pays respects to the Alliance Lord of the Heavenly Alliance!"
