This was because Empress Myrtlestar was on good terms with Ye Xuan. If it was someone else who sat on the throne, Empress Myrtlestar would have long since left. From this, it could be seen that the Heavenly Court was too weak.
Expanding the Celestial Court's strength and building a true supreme Celestial Court was the first thing Ye Xuan wanted to do after he became the Celestial Emperor.
Ye Xuan liked this saying very much because it could help him improve the strength of the Celestial Court quickly.
Of course, Ye Xuan didn't recruit just anyone. If it was like the Jie School back then, even though he was extremely powerful, he would still end up in a decline due to the fact that his disciples were all good and bad.
In fact, the root of all this was Tongtian. Although Tongtian was a Saint, he was not a good leader. He was too protective of his disciples. Even if there were people who were disloyal, Tongtian could not bear to kill them. This was also Tongtian's biggest weakness, and he was not a qualified leader.
For example, Duobao Rulai was the first disciple of Tongtian, but he turned to the Western Sect during the Great God-Investiture Tribulation and became the master of the Western Spiritual Mountain. Tongtian did not care about it. Although he was angry, he did not kill Duobao Rulai because of the Saint's face.
However, Ye Xuan was different. He believed in killing ruthlessly. Anyone who did not listen to him would die, regardless of whether they were enemies or subordinates.
Ye Xuan's will could not be defied. Anyone who was disloyal would be killed. This was also Ye Xuan's way of doing things.
Ye Xuan was very clear. No matter if it was demons, ghosts, or immortals of the Evil Dao, as long as their cultivation was high enough and they acted ruthlessly enough, they could be recruited into the Celestial Court. They could be imparted with great magical powers and be given spiritual medicines.
Of course, Ye Xuan was not Tongtian. Although he was protective, there was a limit. If someone dared to betray him, Ye Xuan would let that person know what it meant to live a life worse than death.
Ye Xuan said calmly, "Shen Gongbao, pass my decree to the Three Realms. No matter if it is demons, ghosts, or immortals of the Evil Dao, anyone with great ability can be listed as an immortal and become a great immortal of the Celestial Court."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor.." Shen Gongbao answered respectfully.
"Zhao Gongming, I confer you the title of Inspector Heavenly Ambassador. Investigate all the immortals in the 33 Heavens. Anyone who is incompetent and mediocre will be stripped of his immortal position and banished to the mortal world."
A series of orders were issued, and Zhao Gongming kept them in mind. However, a somber atmosphere rose in the Bullfighting Palace. Obviously, Ye Xuan did not intend to stabilize the hearts of the people.
What was stabilizing the hearts of the people?
The current Celestial Court was just a joke. The so-called immortals were extremely mediocre. Why would Ye Xuan care about these good-for-nothings?
If they were obedient, he could be at ease as a little immortal official. If they were not obedient, he could just kill them all. Because Ye Xuan wanted to build a supreme Celestial Court, these good-for-nothings were useless to him.
Moreover, the most important problem was.
Ye Xuan had just become the new Celestial Emperor, and Tongtian had issued a decree. However, he still needed to go through the formalities, and that was the coronation ceremony in a hundred years.
Why did Ye Xuan want to postpone the coronation ceremony to a hundred years later?
He was giving the orthodoxies a chance to prepare, and also giving himself time to reorganize the Celestial Court.
A hundred years later, he would worship the heavens and ascend to the throne. The leaders of the orthodoxies would have to attend the ceremony. This was also a necessary process.
Since Ye Xuan wanted to ascend to the throne, he would not be as weak as the Jade Emperor. He wanted to reinvent the Celestial Court in a hundred years. When the leaders of the orthodoxies came to the Celestial Court, he would also express his attitude to them.
What attitude?
Ye Xuan, the Master of the Three Realms, commanded the heavens and earth.
Those who obey me will live, and those who resist me will die. This was the attitude Ye Xuan wanted to express.
He was not the Jade Emperor of the past, who had his hands tied in front of the orthodoxies. Anyone who disobeyed his orders would be the enemy of Ye Xuan.
And those who became Ye Xuan's enemy would only face death.
After Ye Xuan finished explaining everything, Shen Gongbao and the others left the Bullfighting Palace, following Ye Xuan's instructions. This left only Emperor Ziwei and Ye Xuan in the Bullfighting Palace.
"Heaven Emperor, you …"
Without waiting for Empress Myrtlestar to finish speaking, Ye Xuan lightly interrupted her and said, "Big Brother, there's no need to call me that. Although we haven't become sworn brothers, Little Brother will remember Big Brother's kindness from back then."
Looking at Ye Xuan's sincere face, Emperor Ziwei smiled happily, knowing that he had not misjudged Ye Xuan. Even though Ye Xuan had ascended to the throne, he did not show any signs of arrogance.
"Heaven Emperor, you can't do that. Since you are the Master of the Three Realms, you can't be careless with the way you address me." Emperor Ziwei said.
"Brother, you must be joking. If you were in front of outsiders, you would respect me as the Heavenly Emperor. However, when there's no one around, please call me brother." Ye Xuan smiled as he spoke.
"Haha, alright." Emperor Ziwei laughed out loud.
"A Worthy Younger Brother, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it." Emperor Ziwei's smile disappeared, and his expression turned solemn.
"Brother, please say it." Ye Xuan said softly.
Ten breaths passed, and Emperor Ziwei seemed to be thinking about something. Ye Xuan did not disturb him, as if he knew what Emperor Ziwei wanted to say.
"A Worthy Younger Brother, you are now the Heaven Emperor and the Master of the Three Realms in name. But you have to know that the battle of orthodoxies is no small matter. Even though the Tongtian is supporting you, the other orthodoxies also have Sages by their side."
Emperor Ziwei said worriedly, then looked at Ye Xuan and continued, "A Worthy Younger Brother, listen to my advice. Since you have become the Master of the Three Realms, you should let go of the grudge between you and the Spiritual Mountain's Chan School. Only then can you stabilize your position as Heaven Emperor."
Ye Xuan shook his head when he heard Emperor Ziwei's words. His eyes were slightly drifting, and he murmured, "Brother, you don't know. As the saying goes, if you don't advance, you will fall behind. If I act like the Jade Emperor, even if I can live in peace for thousands of years, I will only be a pawn in the hands of the Sages."
When Ye Xuan said this, the Daluo Immortal Light rose slightly, and he slowly rose from the Heaven Emperor's throne. When he opened and closed his eyes, he looked at the world in all directions, and an extremely domineering and fierce aura bloomed around him.
"I, Ye Xuan, have cultivated for six thousand years. I have never thought of being under anyone, and I have never thought of enduring humiliation to survive. Since I have become the Master of the Three Realms, I naturally have to command the Three Realms. Even if the orthodoxies have Sages by their side, they cannot stop me."
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he turned around to look at Empress Myrtlestar. His eyes were faintly glowing as he said, "Brother, if you're willing to stay by my side and help me achieve great things, then if I, Ye Xuan, ascend to the Saint Throne one day, the throne of the Heavenly Emperor will also be taken by you."
"Hiss!"
Emperor Ziwei sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Ye Xuan in shock. His entire person became a little sluggish. He had never thought that Ye Xuan would have such great ambitions. He actually coveted the high and mighty position of a Sage.
