The Space Temple is responsible for the construction of teleportation arrays throughout the inner parts of the Starry Sky Great World, building an internal teleportation network. It is also in a state of combat readiness. Once the Immortal Court initiates war, the priests in the Space Temple will construct channels to the outside world, transporting the divine army outwards, and will be responsible for the post-war construction and maintenance of the space teleportation network.
The Academy Temple is responsible for the various academies under the Immortal Court. The geniuses cultivated within are assigned to various Heavenly Palaces and Temples according to their cultivation paths, or they return to the Academy Temple to become elders. Nowadays, there is no longer a need for Spirit Trees and other divine demons to personally teach.
The Vault Temple is responsible for the collection and storage of various levels of spiritual treasures, ancient cultivation scriptures, and divine abilities of the Immortal Court. Geniuses from various Heavenly Palaces, Temples, and Academies who achieve meritorious deeds can obtain the opportunity to enter the Vault Temple.
The Immortal Coin Temple is responsible for the economic transaction network within the territories ruled by the Immortal Court. Immortal coins are condensed from chaotic energy by the Supreme and Divine Kings using special techniques. They are similar to the divine stones and origin crystals of the past, but with even greater energy, containing insights into the Starry Sky Great Dao and a trace of Heavenly Dao luck. Now, after five hundred years, they have become popular throughout the Starry Sky Great World, and all forces favor this currency.
These are the four great temples.
They are directly under the Emperor and are crucial to the future expansion of the Immortal Court, so no one in the Heavenly Palaces dares to interfere.
Besides these new temples,
there are also the Court of Life, the Divine Demon Hall, the Pill God Temple, the Artifact God Temple, the Tribunal Temple, the Rite Temple, the Work Temple, and so on. The former imperial court agencies have been transformed into temple organizations.
In total, there are fourteen temples.
The Heavenly Palaces are the Ministry of Revenue Heavenly Palace, the Ministry of War Heavenly Palace, the Ministry of Personnel Heavenly Palace, the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace, the Elder Heavenly Palace, the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Palace, and the Immortal God Heavenly Palace, totaling eight Heavenly Palaces.
Among them, the Elder Heavenly Palace belongs to the divine demons such as Wuming and the Sword Saint.
They do not yet have separate organizations and are temporarily referred to as Immortal Court Elders.
Once they control or establish new organizations in the future, they will leave the Elder Heavenly Palace.
This is the current overall structure of the Immortal Court, complex yet with a clear division of labor.
Within the Imperial Court, immortal mist swirls, with corridors built of white jade and eaves adorned with bronze corners, exuding a solemn and dignified aura. Qiu Xuanyuan cautiously followed behind the Minister of Revenue, heading forward.
His heart was filled with shock. Many temple masters of the various temples had reached the Supreme Realm or higher, and the palace lords of the Heavenly Palaces were even more powerful.
In particular, the palace lord of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace, as a Supreme he had once apprehended, Qiu Xuanyuan had a clear perception of his aura.
This time, the other party's aura was significantly more terrifying than it had been five hundred years ago. Knowing that the palace lord of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace was already a Dominator five hundred years ago, he has now taken a further step and is probably not far from becoming an "Immortal".
And this was not what shocked him the most.
He noticed that, at some point, in front of the many palace lords of the Heavenly Palaces and the temple masters of the temples, there were two more mysterious great powers surrounded by chaotic energy, whose forms could not be discerned, and whose auras were even more terrifying than that of the palace lord of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Palace.
He noticed that the palace lords of the Heavenly Palaces and the temple masters of the temples, walking in the same row as the Minister of Revenue, deliberately stayed away from these two beings, because their aura was too terrifying, and even Dominators felt very uncomfortable getting close.
"These two should be the palace lord of the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Palace and the palace lord of the Immortal God Heavenly Palace, the most mysterious great powers in the entire Immortal Court besides the Emperor. Rumor has it that they are 'Immortals'. Now it seems that the rumors are true!" Qiu Xuanyuan secretly clicked his tongue.
The foundation of the Immortal Court is truly terrifying to the extreme.
And even such great powers reside under the Emperor, Qiu Xuanyuan could not help but feel even more fear towards the Immortal Court Emperor.
"Everyone, the Emperor has been waiting in the main hall for a long time."
"Let's go in."
After an unknown amount of time, a voice of unfathomable divine might came to Qiu Xuanyuan's ears. It was the palace guard who had been leading them forward. And this divine voice also made him realize that the Emperor's palace guard was not simple either, and probably had already stepped into the Dominator Realm.
The order of precedence could not be乱. The palace lords of the Heavenly Palaces entered the hall first.
Afterward, Qiu Xuanyuan lowered his head and followed the other temple masters into the Imperial Court's main hall.
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty."
All the palace lords of the Heavenly Palaces and the temple masters of the temples cupped their hands and respectfully kowtowed.
"Rise," the Emperor's voice clearly echoed in the hall.
Qiu Xuanyuan discovered that this was not quite the same as the Emperor's voice he had expected. Although it was equally majestic, it had a hint of gentleness, which made people feel at ease.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up, and Qiu Xuanyuan also took this opportunity to look up at the figure sitting high on the imperial throne.
As he had expected, he was majestic, wise, and martial. In the divine light behind him, ten thousand rays of light evolved, faintly revealing the rise and fall of the world, mysterious and unpredictable.
Qiu Xuanyuan's heart was somewhat swayed. This was the Emperor he had expected, completely within his ideals, as if he was a natural leader. This made him a little excited and more loyal to the Emperor, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I have been in seclusion for five hundred years and have not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time. Each of you ministers is in charge of a Heavenly Palace or Temple. Tell me next, what progress have you made?" Xuan Ming sat upright at the head, taking in all the changes in the expressions of the people in the hall, and said calmly.
After stepping into the Chaotic Half-Immortal Realm, he discovered that the Chaotic Number One Beautiful Man aura was not just about increasing his appearance and temperament and the authority key to the River of Charm.
As long as he used Chaotic Immortal Power, no matter who the other party was, the Chaotic Number One Beautiful Man aura would guide Xuan Ming to the most ideal appearance in their minds, thereby making it easier for Xuan Ming to control people's hearts.
And the changes in the expressions of the people present after seeing Xuan Ming's form had obviously been achieved.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"This humble minister led the Ministry of Revenue Heavenly Palace, during which time I compiled statistics on all the territories under the Immortal Court, medicinal fields, resource treasures, collected the household registration of all living beings, formulated taxes for various places, and the salaries of the divine officials, and completed it properly a hundred years ago..." The Minister of Revenue took the lead in speaking.
Xuan Ming nodded slightly and looked towards the Minister of War.
The Minister of War cupped his hands: "In this period, this humble servant has led the Ministry of War, conducted a comprehensive assessment of the military registers of all major armies, selected military officers, enhanced the ability to command troops in battle, and cooperated with the Hall of Artifacts to build a bronze armory..."
Xuan Ming nodded.
The Minister of Personnel: "This humble servant has led the officials of the Ministry of Personnel in appointing and removing, evaluating performance, promoting and demoting, conferring honors, and transferring officials in various territories of the Immortal Court..."

Chapter 381 Preparing to Open Up the Underworld Universe
............
The Imperial Court Hall.
Xuan Ming sat on the throne, his majesty boundless, the myriad divine kingdoms behind him lifelike, mysterious and unpredictable.
The many immortals and gods in the hall were majestic and domineering, their forms difficult for outsiders to perceive, their aura strong to the extreme.
Qiu Xuanyuan, clad in bronze armor, stood among the hall masters of the various divine halls, his heart filled with apprehension.
His mind raced, the Emperor's command was very simple.
Clearly, it was to have the various Heavenly Palaces and Divine Halls report on their work over the past five hundred years.
This was not difficult for him.
After becoming the master of a special divine hall, he had been delving into various special Great Daos and divine abilities, researching special divine techniques, puppet war armors, as well as thunder scrolls powerful enough to destroy a star system, poisonous gas capable of poisoning all living beings in a realm, Gu worms to control ancient gods, and special contracts to enslave powerful divine beasts. These things, when applied to the current Immortal Court, had no small effect...
If it was just a matter of reporting work, he had great confidence.
But because it was his first time speaking among the high-level officials of the Immortal Court, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Time passed little by little.
The Palace Masters of the Heavenly Palaces had already finished their reports.
The Hall Masters of the Divine Halls had also reached the halfway point.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant has led the officials of the Scripture Pavilion Divine Hall to collect various high-level divine abilities and techniques from the nine universes, and is gradually compiling them into volumes, creating a graded and numbered system of techniques and divine abilities from strongest to weakest, and researching new divine techniques..." The Hall Master of the Scripture Pavilion Divine Hall bowed towards the head of the hall and spoke.
This voice rang out.
Qiu Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart.
The Hall Master of the Scripture Pavilion Divine Hall was standing next to him, and after this person finished speaking, it would inevitably be his turn.
Just as Qiu Xuanyuan was secretly nervous, the Hall Master of the Scripture Pavilion Divine Hall quickly finished speaking, and at that moment, Qiu Xuanyuan felt an extremely majestic gaze fall upon him.
Huff!
Qiu Xuanyuan took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, this humble servant has led the Divine Kings of the Special Divine Hall to create weakened versions of divine techniques that can be applied to every soldier of the Immortal Court. At the same time, the bronze puppet war armor that was researched can shatter ancient stars with the weakest punch, and the strongest can destroy a great domain world, and can be mass-produced..."
Qiu Xuanyuan's voice echoed in the Imperial Court Hall.
He recounted his research achievements during this period as if listing his family treasures.
"Not bad." A hint of surprise flashed in Xuan Ming's eyes, and he praised.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."
Among all the Hall Masters of the Divine Halls, only the Emperor praised him, which made Qiu Xuanyuan extremely excited.
The reports continued.
As time passed, the major power institutions of the Immortal Court all gave their accounts, while Nameless, Sword Saint, the Moon Worship Cult Leader, and others stood to the side, and because they did not have official positions, they did not speak.
"All of you, my beloved subjects, are meritorious officials of the Immortal Court. This is the Heavenly Dao merit, and it is the reward you deserve." Xuan Ming waved his hand, and the golden dragon of fortune opened its mouth and spat out dozens of Heavenly Dao merit pills like golden pills, which fell into the hands of the Palace Masters of the Heavenly Palaces and the Hall Masters of the Divine Halls respectively.
The Immortal Court is the ruling power of the Starry Sky Grand World, drawing on the fortune of all living beings, and Xuan Ming is the Heavenly Dao of the Grand World, so although this Heavenly Dao merit is not produced infinitely, there is still a lot of it.
"We thank Your Majesty for the reward." The immortals and gods kowtowed, among them Qiu Xuanyuan's Heavenly Dao merit was the highest among the Hall Masters of the Divine Halls, second only to the Palace Masters of the Heavenly Palaces. When he spoke, Xuan Ming saw everything through Qiu Xuanyuan's fortune, proving that he had not lied, and that his contribution to the Immortal Court was extremely great, so the reward far exceeded that of other Hall Masters of the Divine Halls.
"The Immortal Court is flourishing under the management of all of you, my beloved subjects, but the main reason I summoned you today is not for this matter." Xuan Ming glanced at everyone and changed the subject.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the immortals and gods became solemn.
They were not fools, the Emperor had mobilized them in such a grand manner to come here, it was definitely not as simple as asking about the changes in the Immortal Court over the past five hundred years, there must be other important matters.
"The starry sky is constantly evolving, and the territory is constantly expanding. To this day, there are already nine universes side by side. For weak mortals, this may be a good thing, but for the unified Immortal Court, it is undoubtedly extremely inconvenient."
"Therefore, I have decided to merge the nine universes and divide them into the realms of gods and mortals."
The expressions of the immortals and gods changed upon hearing this.
Even the Three-Headed Dragon Emperor and Jiang Xianshen were slightly discolored.
Although they had set foot in the realm of immortality, they were not strong enough to change the internal origin evolution of the Grand World. Xuan Ming's words this time really shocked them.
"After this universe merges and the realms of gods and mortals are separated, I plan to establish an Underworld Universe dedicated to the reincarnation of all living beings, to prevent gods and ancient gods from refusing to die and escaping order. All of you, my beloved subjects, do you have any opinions?" Xuan Ming continued.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble servant believes that this should be the case." Jiang Xianshen respectfully cupped his hands.
"I also think so." The Three-Headed Dragon Emperor said.
Subsequently, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel, and others also spoke in succession.
They knew that the Emperor's statement must mean that he already had a plan, so naturally they would not inappropriately offer various opinions.
"If that's the case, Minister of Revenue, Minister of Personnel, Minister of War."
"Your servants are here." The three ministers stepped forward.
"You each arrange for the personnel of the Immortal Court to appease the masses, to avoid any unrest caused by this matter, and at the same time, you can inform the masses that the Immortal Court will release a portion of its power to the mortal realm."
The main focus of the separation of the realms of gods and mortals is in the God Realm.
Compared to that, the things that can be distributed to the mortal realm are not of great significance.
The Immortal Court's focus in the future will be on the God Realm.
"Your servants obey the decree." The three ministers respectfully accepted the order.
