A person's strength is not true strength; before reaching the point where one person can change everything, it is necessary to enhance the strength of those around them.
So Shaohua proposed in passing: "I think an immortal holy land can be established here."
"Do as you like," the West Empress smiled gently. She had no reason to refuse such a proposal.
Establishing a lineage not only leaves behind an inheritance but also adds to the foundation and strength of the human race.
Moreover, this was her daughter's request. Even if it were an immortal treasure from a restricted zone, she would be willing to obtain it at any cost.
However, because this matter was too simple, the West Empress didn't pay too much attention to it and directly gave Shaohua full authority to handle it, letting her make it however she wanted.
"Good, good, good!"
Shaohua felt like she had found more work for herself. With tears in her eyes, she watched her young Great Empress mother and her Holy Body Old Father fly off together—well, actually, they were somewhat impatient to go to the Immortal Land on Earth.
Upon parting, she held both their hands and earnestly urged them to have a second child.
"I've even thought of a name. How about Wushi?"
The Old Father nodded, indicating that the name suited his taste, but then a flash of inspiration hit him. His intelligence occupied his muscle-filled Sendai, and he subconsciously asked: "That's a boy's name, right? What if it's a sister?"
Shaohua fell into deep thought. This wasn't a joke to be trifled with. What if the younger brother Wushi wasn't brought into the world by them?
In case she strayed from her path, she was counting on mutual support and having a backup.
"...Time is Shaohua, years are Renran. If it's a girl, let's call her Renran," she said after some thought.
The mother on the side had already covered her forehead with her hand, speechless. This matter hadn't even begun yet, and the father and daughter were already discussing the child's name. Had they asked for her, the mother's, opinion?
The West Empress grew angry and immediately displayed her Great Empress's prestige, sternly suppressing these two unreliable fellows. She flicked her fingers and gave each of them a flick on the forehead.
A mere Great Completion Holy Body and an Alternative Dao Manifestor—one in each hand, easily suppressed!
Then, a certain Great Completion Holy Body, the least dignified in the world, was dragged away directly. It was hard to imagine what kind of... happy life he was about to suffer.
"Ah, I hope the person is okay!"
Shaohua clasped her hands together and silently prayed for her Old Father, hoping that the Great Completion Holy Body challenging a Great Empress wasn't just a hollow boast.
She respected the Great Completion Holy Body as one of the few great men in the world, but he had to face the current Female Emperor. Even a man made of iron might not be able to withstand it, right?
Otherwise, why hadn't they given her a younger brother or sister for so many years?
Ten days later, a piece of news spread from the Northern Region of the Eastern Wasteland.
The West Empress was to establish a holy land in Big Dipper, opening the mountain gates wide to recruit disciples.
Once the news came out, it immediately shocked the world.
Not to mention the countless cultivators in Big Dipper's Eastern Wasteland, Central State, Northern Plains, and other places who went crazy for it, even the Myriad Star Domains and the various races of the universe moved upon hearing the news, coming from the depths of the starry sky to seek an audience, hoping to be accepted into the sect.
As a holy land established by the current Dao Manifestor, it was destined to be the most powerful and prosperous lineage of this era.
This thigh is truly long and white!
Even if they weren't fated to join, coming over to see the West Empress's peerless beauty with their own eyes and listening to her preach the Dao would be a massive gain without any loss.
Thus, the Yaochi Holy Land appeared thousands or even tens of thousands of years ahead of schedule. With the West Empress absent, Shaohua naturally became the first Holy Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land.
This was also within everyone's expectations. The West Empress couldn't be expected to do everything herself; it was only natural for her biological daughter to serve as the Holy Lord.
As the current Dao Manifestor, the West Empress's true name was actually known to few. The title "West Empress" had existed for a long time, and since she was a Female Emperor, many people were more accustomed to calling her Mother West Empress.
To distinguish them, Shaohua, as the Holy Lord of Yaochi, was called "West Queen Mother," and this title was passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, the current Yaochi Holy Land was still just a palace built around that Immortal Pool, with very few people and no atmosphere of a holy land yet.
But as Shaohua used her mother's name to establish the lineage, experts from all over the world gathered, and a grand ceremony began.
Well, the primary task of the grand ceremony was to first set up the holy land.
Shaohua directly made use of a large amount of free labor. It wasn't that she wanted to be lazy, but rather to collect the scenery of the universe to enhance the atmosphere of the holy land.
Acting alone would inevitably be too monotonous and boring.
A large group of experts, famous even in the universe, displayed their skills in moving mountains and filling seas, seizing the creation of heaven and earth to create a pure land of divine mountains within a few days.
Some used saintly materials to refine palaces, some cut down stars from outside the domain just to pave the road, and others moved in spiritual springs, auspicious beasts, and precious plants for decoration...
Shaohua was not idle either. With a wave of her sleeve, pieces of radiant jade flew out. Upon closer inspection, she had actually gathered the sequence of Nine Heavens Divine Jade.
After a period of refinement, she lightly turned her fair hand and used a sword to carve the four large characters "Yaochi Holy Land" to serve as the mountain gate of the holy land.
It was a sword forged from Taiyi Orange Gold, its entire body the color of an orange sun, shining brilliantly. One side was carved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other side was carved with mountains, rivers, and vegetation, containing infinite power within.
Taiyi is the primordial chaos before heaven and earth were divided, uncreated yet forming all things. It is the most noble existence among the Nine Great Immortal Golds, and few have obtained it since ancient times.
"That sword..." None of the cultivators who came to participate in the establishment of the Yaochi Holy Land were below the rank of Saint. Anyone could see the extraordinary nature of the sword in Shaohua's hand.
Not to mention, this sword had once drunk the blood of a Supreme, making it the strongest killing weapon in the world besides an extreme dao emperor weapon.
"With this, the Yaochi Holy Land is established. On behalf of my mother, I thank you all for your help." A celestial voice sounded. Shaohua turned gracefully, sheathed her sword, and bowed slightly to everyone to express her gratitude.
Her figure was slender, showing off her graceful and curvaceous form, with waist-length ink-black hair draped smoothly over her chest and back like silk.
On this occasion, she did not hide her face, showing her true self and revealing a peerless immortal countenance. Her eyelashes were long and straight, and her beautiful eyes contained a poetic spiritual charm. She was full of grace, gathering the elegance of heaven and earth.
"It was just a small effort. Being able to participate is already a great fortune." Everyone stepped aside, not daring to accept the salute.
Shaohua did not insist and actively called out a group of people. These people were either her old acquaintances or followers of her parents, but they all shared a common characteristic: they were all women.
The Yaochi Holy Land was naturally a holy land for female cultivators. This was the characteristic of the holy land, so many people were destined to be disappointed.
The current era could be considered a great age, with geniuses emerging across the universe. Those who had once stepped onto the Starry Sky Ancient Path were now in their prime.
Among the people Shaohua recruited, there were many Great Saints and even Quasi-Emperor experts. Except for a few who were not interested and politely declined, most stayed behind, and the holy land suddenly had a framework.
After some preparation, the first Yaochi Grand Ceremony in history was held. The divine mountain was majestic, and the elegant peaks were ethereal, quite magnificent and beautiful.
Divine springs flowed over stone cliffs, spiritual grass grew alongside precipices, and auspicious beasts lay in the mountains. Dragon qi rose, and rosy light swirled. It had both immortal air and strange sights, being magnificent and colorful.
"Great Leiyin Temple of Mount Sumeru..."
"Guardian of the Human Race's Ancient Path..."
"Underworld God Palace of the Northern Region sends a modest gift."
The nine immortal golds take nine colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white. Dragon and Phoenix correspond, Immortal and God correspond, Ascension corresponds to Eternity, white is for Bright White Gold, and the remaining one, Dao Tribulation, is matched with Taiyi. Great Dao is infinite, Innate Taiyi, so Taiyi Orange Gold is chosen, signifying supreme nobility.
