After the people from the Mysterious Lady Palace had left, Lin Xuantong looked solemn.
Liu Yue’er asked, “Xuantong, what does the Heavenly Court mean by this?”
“The Heavenly Emperor plans to hold a grand assembly of the Heavenly Court in a hundred thousand years, and he wants us to bring along Longevity and Han’er, as well as the talents from all over the Immortal Realm, to exchange and compete with one another, to see the potential of the future geniuses of the Immortal Realm.”
“Why would the Heavenly Emperor have such a request? Longevity and Han’er, although they have good aptitudes, have only cultivated for a short time, and it would be difficult for them to play any role in the conflicts between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm…”
“Yue’er, you are mistaken. Longevity in Qianyuan Cave Heaven personally killed a powerhouse like the Impermanence Demon Monarch. Furthermore, with the Heavenly Emperor’s move, he presumably wants Ku to show off his power at the grand assembly of the Heavenly Court, and as the son of the Emperor, to crush the talents of all the holy lands and establish his supreme position.”
“Why is the Heavenly Emperor starting to cultivate the Emperor’s son at this time? Could it be that he foresees something?”
Liu Yue’er, having followed Lin Xuantong for many years and being exceptionally intelligent, faintly guessed some things.
Lin Xuantong nodded: “The Heavenly Emperor may not be confident in dealing with this catastrophe, so he has started cultivating the Emperor’s son, wanting him to take charge of the Heavenly Court in the future. However, the various holy lands and prestigious families, fearing the power of the Heavenly Emperor, are not necessarily willing to give face to the Emperor’s son. The confidant of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, the Impermanence Demon Monarch, dared to publicly beat the Emperor’s son. This must have caused concern for the Heavenly Emperor. Of course, this is just my speculation, and it may not be correct.”
“Did you agree?”
“After all, the Heavenly Court is powerful, and the Heavenly Emperor is the strongest in the Immortal Realm. We, from Mount Taihua, still need to give face to the Heavenly Emperor. It’s just that it’s unfair to Longevity and Han’er, as they’ll have to serve as a backdrop for the Emperor’s son.”
Lin Xuantong knew that during the assembly of the Heavenly Court, Elixir Pills could not be used, and the geniuses could only compete based on their raw strength.
Lu Changsheng’s realm is not as high as the Emperor’s son, and he might be at a disadvantage.
But an order from the Heavenly Court must still be respected to some extent by Mount Taihua.
The only thing to do is to compensate Lu Changsheng after the assembly of the Heavenly Court is over.
Liu Yue’er then asked, “What’s the intention behind choosing to hold the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly in a hundred thousand years?”
“It’s quite simple. If my guess is correct, in a hundred thousand years, Emperor Ku will officially step into the Divine King Realm, and with an invincible posture, he will sweep through the young talents of the various holy lands and prestigious families, establishing his supreme authority.”
Lin Xuantong’s thoughts were overly meticulous, guessing the intent of the Heavenly Emperor.
“Such a young one in the Divine King Realm, the Supreme Emperor Body of the Heavenly Emperor’s lineage, is truly domineering.”
“Indeed, the founding goddess of Mount Taihua Holy Land was only one of the great experts of the Ancient Mysterious Lady Palace. She had a gap compared to the Heavenly Emperor, let alone us.”
As Lin Xuantong mentioned those powerful beings, he couldn’t help but sigh.
The Heavenly Emperor is an existence that countless strong beings in the Immortal Realm look up to, reigning over the Heavenly Court for myriads of years, eternal and undying.
Even the founding human great expert Mount Taihua Goddess was only one of the great experts from the Ancient Heavenly Court’s Mysterious Lady Palace.
This shows how formidable the Heavenly Emperor’s strength is.
If the Heavenly Emperor’s strength were not great, he wouldn’t be able to rule over the countless strong beings of the Heavenly Court.
Only the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm do not submit to the Heavenly Emperor.
Lin Xuantong told Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan about the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly: “In a hundred thousand years, at the grand assembly of the Heavenly Court, the Emperor’s son wants to establish his might. By then he might already be a Divine King Realm powerhouse. Even if you cannot match him, don’t let it affect your state of mind. He has the Supreme Emperor Body and the Heavenly Emperor himself to guide his cultivation; he is to take charge of the Heavenly Court in the future. It’s not strange that you are not his equal.”
A hundred thousand years later?
Lu Changsheng thought to himself that if the grand assembly of the Heavenly Court were to be held now and without the use of Ancestral Dragon Blood Pills, he would yet be no match for Ku.
But if it were to be a hundred thousand years later, that would be another story.

A hundred thousand years for Lu Changsheng, who has the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, could bring massive improvements.
By then, it’s uncertain who would crush whom.
Lu Changsheng could tell that Emperor Ku had his designs on Xia Ningxue, and he had been worrying about not having the opportunity to thrash the Emperor’s son.
It seems that in the next hundred thousand years, he needs to practice cultivation even harder.
Shen Xiaoyao returned to the Sect, and Lu Changsheng had another disciple to carry out power-infusing initiation, which would speed up the cultivation.
Lin Qinghan nodded: “Daughter understands father’s intention; we have to give the Emperor’s son some face.”
“It looks like Han’er has come to understand the ways of the world.”
Lin Xuantong was very relieved.
As the Saint Lord of Mount Taihua, there were too many things he had to consider.
The relationship between the Heavenly Court and the various holy lands was quite tricky to manage.
“You two, follow me to a place in the back mountain.”
Lin Xuantong led Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan to a deep part of Mount Taihua’s back mountain.
Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan did not understand why.
Lin Xuantong looked serious: “The Ancestor wants to see you.”
The Ancestor?
Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan looked at each other, surprise evident in their eyes.
Was Lin Xuantong referring to the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and the Jiang Family Ancestor?
But Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan were usually under the guidance of the few Ancestors; there was no need for Lin Xuantong to be so secretive, right?
Perhaps sensing the confusion in their eyes, Lin Xuantong said, “This Ancestor has lived through the second ancient war.”
Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan were both shocked simultaneously.
The second ancient war referred to the great battle between the Ancient Celestial Court and the Demon Lord. If this Ancestor was a powerful being from that time, is it possible that he had seen the Mount Taihua Goddess in person?
If so, this Ancestor’s seniority was too high!
The Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan could only be said to be Lin Xuantong’s own Ancestor, but this Ancestor was the Ancestor of the Ancestors of the Lin Clan.
