They saw Heavenly Emperor Xuanqing seated high upon the Nine Dragon Cloud Bed, his presence radiating a clear light, divine power vast as the sea, forbidding direct gaze.
"We subjects pay respect to the Emperor of Heaven, may your sacred longevity be infinite!" The Five Elements Qilin Kings and White Tiger God Monarch led the group in bowing, their voices slightly trembling.
