“Not at all. It's my honor to have saved someone like you,” A'Fu returned the greeting, flattering him with a smile.
Within the Cosmic Prison, although the Immortal Path was nonexistent, the existence of the Cosmic Prison stood tall within the Immortal Path. Great figures of the Immortal Path were still unattainable, especially with the Celestial Court lacking manpower. Once they left this place, they would surely soar like dragons.
Furthermore, he had other intentions, so naturally, he dared not be negligent.
“Haha…” Ancestor Rong stroked his beard.
A'Fu's words were quite pleasing to him.
“Rong-jun, those prisoners who dared to offend you earlier, I have already ordered people to arrest them. I expect the results to be returned soon. If they are caught, you may dispose of them as you wish.”
“Until then, you may temporarily reside here and wait patiently,” A'Fu said.
“Good,” Ancestor Rong's face revealed a hint of joy.
Afterward, they chatted for a few more sentences, enjoying each other's company.
After Ancestor Rong left the command center, the smile on A'Fu's face instantly disappeared, and he calmed down.
“In that case, I have gained another trump card to save my life.”
A'Fu muttered to himself, feeling slightly relieved.
He was taking this opportunity to invest in the future.
He had offended too many people in the Celestial Court. After he finished his sentence and was released, even a Palace Lord might not be able to protect him.
He needed more help from other beings.
Ancestor Rong was one of his targets.
“No rush, there are still more than forty-nine million years left before the end of my sentence.” Thinking of this, A'Fu shook his head slightly.
He still had plenty of time to prepare.
…
While A'Fu was secretly planning.
On the other side.
The Celestial Court's personnel had already begun to enter the Rong Clan's Heavens.
As the rulers of this place, the Celestial Court naturally wanted to occupy it first. With the cooperation of Rong Xue and others, the Celestial Court's takeover was very smooth.
According to the previous arrangements, the Rong Clan members began to be continuously received by the Liu Clan's Celestial Palace, officially becoming a part of the Celestial Court from this moment on.
Although the process of subduing the Rong Clan's Heavens was very smooth, the Celestial Court did not relax its vigilance. In comparison, the two or three hundred Heavens under the Rong Clan's command were the main focus of this expedition. Fortunately, there was a ruling force like the Rong Clan to take the lead.
Subduing them was also quite easy, without the need for the Celestial Court to mobilize its forces.
As time slowly passed, the area where the Rong Clan's Heavens were gathered gradually fell under the control of the Celestial Court.
At the same time.
Celestial Court, Profound Emperor Hall.
Xuan Ming, who was in a state of closed-door cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. The terrifying aura of eternity on his body also became exceptionally stable from its previous constant fluctuations.
“In this case, I can continue to refine and break through.”
Xuan Ming felt the solid foundation of his realm and nodded secretly.
“Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue requests an audience outside the hall.”
Just as he was about to continue refining the Imperial Seal of Fortune, a guard in front of the hall respectfully entered and reported.
The internal system of the Celestial Court was perfect. Ordinary matters did not require him to be involved at all. Now that the Minister of Revenue had come, there must be something important to report, so he would naturally not refuse to see him.
“Let him in,” Xuan Ming waved his hand, signaling.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” The guard in front of the hall respectfully retreated.
Soon.
The figure of the Minister of Revenue entered the Profound Emperor Hall.
“Your Majesty, the matter you previously ordered regarding the Celestial Court taking control of the Rong Clan and the territories under the Rong Clan's command has now been completed.”
“The Rong Clan Ancestor and a portion of the Rong Clan members have now been imprisoned in the Cosmic Prison…”
The Minister of Revenue spoke, recounting all the matters related to the Rong Clan during this period.
In fact, before this, the progress of this matter should have been reported every once in a while, but the Emperor only emerged from seclusion now, so he could only wait until now to report this matter.
“Oh? It's already completed?”
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Xuan Ming's eyes.
He still remembered that before he stepped into the middle stage of Chaotic Eternity, he learned of this matter, gave the order, and then entered a state of closed-door cultivation. Now that he had awakened, the people under his command had already completed this matter.
This made him feel a sense of satisfaction.
“That Rong Clan Dao Harmonization, has he also been imprisoned for a while?” Xuan Ming asked.
“In response to Your Majesty, yes, it has been three hundred years since he entered prison,” the Minister of Revenue said.
From the Celestial Court beginning to contact the Rong Clan to now completely taking over all the Rong Clan's foundations, it has lasted for nearly four hundred years. It seems long, but in the Chaos, it can be ignored.
“Three hundred years…”
“He can be released.”
“You should have him swallow this when the time comes.”
Xuan Ming nodded slightly, waved his right hand, and a Dao Demon Seed overflowing with immortal light slowly floated towards the Minister of Revenue, eventually landing in his hand.
With his current cultivation.
It was not difficult to nurture a Dao Demon Seed that could control a Dao Harmonization True Immortal.
“This subject obeys the decree.”
The Minister of Revenue respectfully saluted and withdrew.
“Refine the Imperial Seal of Fortune as soon as possible and reach the realm of transcendence.”
Looking at the departing back of the Minister of Revenue, Xuan Ming murmured.
He was not worried that using the Dao Demon Seed to control Ancestor Rong would lead to accidents. The Cosmic Prison was in the heart of the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court's great powers, including the Eternal Dao Lord, Ancient Celestial Venerable, were all guarding the heartland. Ancestor Rong had no chance to resist, so he did not need to do it himself.
The most important thing was to improve his own cultivation first.
Of course, Xuan Ming did not waste time.
While refining the Imperial Seal of Fortune, he also separated a wisp of Immortal Soul to refine the Rong Clan's Heavens area.
…
On the other side.
Ancestor Rong was quickly released by the Minister of Revenue. Feeling the terrifying gazes from all sides of the Celestial Court, he had no choice but to swallow the Dao Demon Seed.
Since he had already been controlled by the Celestial Court's Emperor, Ancestor Rong knew that he could not contend, and he no longer resisted. Now, he had another matter to ask someone about.
This matter was related to Prison Lord Fu.
He had received much care from him during his time in the Cosmic Prison, and he planned to repay him with a favor when he was released in the future. Although he had readily agreed at the time, he always felt that something was wrong afterward.
After all, release was release, why was he so worried?
Therefore, he planned to find someone to inquire about Prison Lord Fu's origins.

“Where should I go to find someone?”
Ancestor Rong's eyes narrowed slightly as he surveyed the surroundings.
Although he had joined the Celestial Court, he was not familiar with anything in the Celestial Court. The Lord of the Ministry of Revenue's Celestial Palace, who had brought him out of prison earlier, was a good starting point, but the other party was busy with countless affairs, and it was difficult for him to bother the other party with this trivial matter.
Apart from the Minister of Revenue, he did not know who to ask about it now.
“Eh?”
Just as Ancestor Rong was pondering, his gaze suddenly caught sight of a Ghost Clan True Immortal wrapped in black mist passing by, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait!”
Ancestor Rong stepped forward and stopped the other party.
“Senior, is there something I can help you with?”
The Nether Ghost True Immortal paused, looking at the unfamiliar powerful being in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed across his face.
However, since the other party could appear in the heart of the Celestial Court without alarming the Celestial Court's great powers, he was obviously not an enemy, and he was not too vigilant.
“I wonder if little friend has time. This old one would like to ask about something?” Ancestor Rong was not in a hurry to ask.
The other party was in a hurry, and might have important matters. Rashly asking might put the other party in a dilemma, thus creating aversion towards him. This was not a good thing for him, who had just arrived.
Therefore, he took the lead in giving the other party a way out, whether to go or stay, depending on the other party's time.
“Time… I do have some.”
“I wonder what Senior wants to ask?” The Nether Ghost True Immortal pondered slightly and said.
The purpose of his trip was only to go to other Ghost Clan areas to inform them of some arrangements regarding the Ghost Clan Celestial Palace Alliance, but it was not urgent. Delaying a short time to answer questions would not have a major impact.
Moreover, this senior in front of him was likely a Dao Harmonization Saint Monarch, worthy of him stopping to form a good connection.
“It's like this…”
“This old one was temporarily detained in the Cosmic Prison some time ago for violating some of the Celestial Court's regulations. During that time, this old one met a person in the West District Prison…” Ancestor Rong saw that the other party intended to answer, and he no longer beat around the bush, but went straight to the point.
However, he was interrupted by the Nether Ghost True Immortal halfway through his words.
“Senior, did you meet a guy named A'Fu in the West District Prison, who calls himself Prison Lord Fu?” The Nether Ghost True Immortal narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
So famous?
Ancestor Rong's heart stirred.
