1112 Virtuous Earth Sovereign (1/2)
In the Numinous Sky Hall, Celestial Emperor was seated upon his treasure throne. The ten Celestial Venerables were also present, each of them sitting upright in a solemn fashion. Under the throne, all of the civil and military officials were gathered together, and all kinds of divine light illuminated the air.
Below, Gongsun Yan kowtowed. Celestial Emperor gave a few words of encouragement and allowed her to rise.
A court official submitted a report, praising Gongsun Yan for her compassion and virtues and having both ability and political integrity, hence moving the heavens. Celestial Emperor again gave a few words of encouragement and instructed to give them a seat.
As Gongsun Yan sat down, a court official submitted another report, praising Gongsun Yan as having extraordinary morality and conduct and also saying that she was a talent that was able to rule the world. He said, ”Mother Earth is morally corrupt and has fallen. Now, the Primordial Realm is without a leader and has descended into chaos. It's difficult for Celestial Venerable Xiao to guard the Primordial Realm alone. Hence, I recommend appointing Gongsun Yan as Virtuous Earth Sovereign, to be stationed in the Primordial Realm to share Celestial Venerable Xiao's burden.”
Celestial Emperor looked at the ten Celestial Venerables and laughed. ”What do my beloved ministers think?”
The ten Celestial Venerables already had a tacit understanding and nodded in approval in succession. Celestial Venerable Xiao laughed. ”We'll let Your Majesty decide.”
Hence, Celestial Emperor issued a decree, appointing Gongsun Yan as Virtuous Earth Sovereign, permitting her to build celestial palaces and command up to a million troops.
Gongsun Yan bowed to give her thanks.
The gods chanted in unison, and the hall was enshrouded in divine light. Waves of melodious Dao sound rippled, extremely pleasing to the ear.
The ten Celestial Venerables also blessed Gongsun Yan with ten light halos behind her head. Upon seeing this scene, Celestial Venerable Mu, whose consciousness was hiding in the heart of Gongsun Yan's brows, couldn't help but be put on the spot. 'There are now ten pairs of eyes staring at Gongsun Yan. She's unable to hide anything from them now!'
At that moment, a halo behind Gongsun Yan's head quietly exuded a strand of consciousness, which entered the heart of her brows. Qin Mu gave a cold laugh as the consciousness of his that was hiding in the heart of Gongsun Yan's brows exploded!
The consciousness that snuck into the heart of Gongsun Yan's brows apparently didn't expect to find someone else hiding inside. Immediately, the consciousness became a Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven! To his surprise, Qin Mu's consciousness also turned into a Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven. The two Great Overarching Consciousness Heavens collided, and the two consciousnesses immediately knew each other's identity.
”Grand Emperor!”
”Celestial Venerable Mu!”
Celestial Emperor also bestowed money, palace maids, and all kinds of treasures. ”Virtuous Earth Sovereign, compared to here, the lower bound is going through turbulent times. I hope that you'll do your best to suppress that and ensure the safety of the people.”
Gongsun Yan nodded, completely oblivious that there was a great battle raging in the heart of her brows.
Celestial Emperor dismissed the court, and the ten Celestial Venerables stepped forward to congratulate Gongsun Yan and gave her some words of encouragement. The rest of the ministers also stepped forward in succession to give their well-wishes. Gongsun Yan followed the guidance of Ling Yuxiu and acted orderly in accordance with court ritual. She was dignified and stately, which won endless praise from the ministers.
As Qin Mu had deposited more consciousness in the heart of Gongsun Yan's brows, he was about to break the enemy's Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven. However, the Grand Emperor's consciousness was more skilled, attacking with an endless stream of consciousness divine arts. Even if Qin Mu was able to overwhelm him by a notch, there was nothing he could do to him.
The consciousness of the two kept battling in the heart of Gongsun Yan's brows. When Gongsun Yan was done and walked out of the Numinous Sky Hall, Qin Mu immediately came up to her and tapped on the heart of her brows gently. Immediately, the Grand Emperor's invading consciousness was destroyed by him!
'The Grand Emperor is still very remarkable. He possesses high attainments in the path of consciousness, which I'm unable to match up to.' Qin Mu couldn't help but confess his admiration.
That confrontation with the Grand Emperor in the heart of Gongsun Yan's brows had given him a deeper understanding of the Grand Emperor's abilities.
The Grand Emperor was able to become one of the ten Celestial Venerables, and his attainments in the path of consciousness were unmatched, especially after he assimilated the system of divine treasures and celestial palaces. His consciousness divine arts were now much more powerful than before.
”Young Master, what should I do?”
Immediately after Gongsun Yan left the Numinous Sky Hall, she became that simple girl again, without any ideas or opinions of her own. She whispered, ”I don't know how to be this Virtuous Earth Sovereign, I…”
Qin Mu laughed. ”You don't have to do anything.”
