On the right Emperor's Throne, Yaochi Golden Mother also wore an Emperor's Crown, exuding grace and elegance, her dignified and serene demeanor making the assembly of Immortals feel refreshed as if they were basking in spring breezes.

On the left Emperor's Throne, Emperor Donghua wore an Emperor's Crown with a congenial smile, without the slightest sense of pressure.

Before long, the Golden Bell chimed of its own accord, and the sound of the Jade Chime rang out, as an Immortal Official came to report.

"The Immortals have arrived!"

Just outside the South Heavenly Gate, celestial scenes with carriages of phoenixes and the Nine Radiance Umbrella could be seen; the music played profound songs and wondrous melodies, reciting limitless divine verses; scattering treasure flowers and emitting true fragrance.

The Five Elders of Five Directions, the Three Official Great Emperors, the Three Pure Ones, and various Great Immortals almost simultaneously arrived at the scene.

"We pay our respects to the Immortal Emperor and the Queen Mother!"

The host of Immortals bowed in salutation.

"No need for excessive courtesy, Immortal Ministers, please be seated quickly!"

Emperor Donghua, having just been resurrected, was in an extraordinarily good mood.

"Congratulations on the Immortal Emperor's return, here is a small gift prepared by us Three Pure Ones."

Xuanqing took out a Jade Plate, on which were arranged twelve crystalline Immortal apricots, etched with the Laws of Wind and Thunder.

This time, Daoist Lord Yu Chen found an Innate Spirit Root while traveling outside — the Immortal Peach Tree.

Though this tree is not the supreme Spirit Root, it's considered a good Spirit Root; the Immortal apricots it bears naturally contain two types of Great Dao: wind and thunder, truly marvelous.

"Thank you, Daoist friends of the Three Pure Ones!" Emperor Donghua's smile grew even brighter.

Back when he ascended the throne, it was the Three Pure Ones who first showed support, presenting him with the Crown, the Emperor's Robe, and the Emperor Seal.

When he died, it was the Daoist friend Taishang who painstakingly retrieved him.

Now that he is resurrected, it is again the Three Pure Ones who offer blessings and gifts.

The thought of the Three Pure Ones' unwavering support moved Emperor Donghua deeply.

He instructed the Immortal Officials to accept the gift.

Great Immortals, seeing the Three Pure Ones presenting their gifts, began to make generous contributions as well.

Taiyi and Di Jun presented Donghua with two Golden Fish Fortune Bags.

"Immortal Emperor, these are newly researched items by our Welfare Immortals — the Koi Fortune Bags."

"As long as they are worn long-term, they will bring good luck!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua became interested, "Is it also effective for Da Luo Golden Immortals?"

"Of course!"

Di Jun assured with conviction, "This is custom-made for the Immortal Emperor!"

"Good, good, good!"

Emperor Donghua repeated "good" thrice, genuinely in need of this Fortune Bag.

After all, he indeed had been unlucky.

Otherwise, how was it that during the starry sky battle, everyone else was seriously injured, but he was the only one who completely perished?

"Immortal Emperor, this is the most valuable treasure from the Stone Betting Hall — Nine-orifice Exquisite Immortal Stone!"

Jieyin produced a treasured item from his collection to gift Donghua.

"This item has a powerful effect, capable of converting into a body identical to the original, a marvelous treasure for avoiding death and extending life!"

"And me, me too!"

Water Official Emperor Zhenwu stepped forward, handing over a gourd, "This is a Turtle and Snake Coiling Pill refined by myself, consuming it can save your life!"

Donghua exclaimed in surprise at Zhenwu, "Refined by Daoist friend yourself?"

"Indeed!"

Zhenwu heartily laughed, "Our Immortal Court's Scripture Pavilion is open, so I gleaned insights from Taishang Daoist friend's Elixir Scripture, learning a lot."

"This Turtle and Snake Coiling Pill is the latest result."

"I see!" Upon hearing that it was refined based on Taishang's Elixir Scripture, Emperor Donghua immediately felt at ease.

Products from Taishang are assuredly top quality.

"This is the seasoning used exclusively at our barbecue stall," Kunpeng cheerfully gifted Donghua with a jar of special seasoning.

Emperor Donghua inquired, "What is the effect of this item?"

Kunpeng responded, "When sprinkled on a corpse, it can maintain the freshness of the body."

"Even if eroded by the Great Dao of the Da Luo Supreme, damaging the body, polluting the corpse, a sprinkling of this seasoning can quickly restore it!"

After hearing this, Donghua felt something was amiss but could not quite identify it.

"Immortal Emperor, here are seeds of the Other Shore Flower from the Netherworld and Yellow Spring Water."

Ming River presented a box of Other Shore Flower seeds and a bottle of Yellow Spring Water to Donghua, "If the Immortal Emperor ever faces a life-and-death crisis again, you can consume these seeds with Yellow Spring Water."

"If I drink it, can I reincarnate in the Netherworld?" Donghua asked.

"No."

Ming River replied, "Drinking it will cause Other Shore Flowers to bloom vibrantly all over your body after you die, giving you a more dignified death."

Is this... dignified?

After thinking for a while, Emperor Donghua eventually accepted the gift.

It's a specialty from the Netherworld, and perhaps it holds insights into the mysteries of life and death.

"Daoist friend, as I have nothing else to offer, I'll gift you a figurine instead."

Nuwa gave Emperor Donghua a small-scale True Master figurine.

"Once the Immortal Emperor establishes a connection with this figurine, it can serve as a substitute for death!"

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Donghua's face, the gift seemed normal at last.

"Of course, there's a drawback to note; this figurine must be carefully preserved."

Nuwa reminded, "If the figurine is damaged prematurely, Daoist friend would have to die in its stead."

"???" Emperor Donghua's eyes widened.

What on earth?

This substitute for death is actually bidirectional?

Suddenly, Emperor Donghua felt hesitant about accepting it.

If it gets linked up with him, wouldn't it create a new vulnerability?

At that moment, Xuanqing laughed and said, "This item can actually be used on enemies too."

This immediately enlightened Donghua.

That's right! It's best used on enemies!

If you don't like someone, just link them with it, and then crush this figurine!

"Daoist, you're a genius!"

This isn't a death substitute figurine; it's a prank figurine!

Donghua was very satisfied and accepted the gift.

Nuwa also got an idea.

[Using it this way seems to be the correct way!]

"This is my gift!"

"And mine!"

"Mine is..."

The Great Immortals sincerely offered their congratulatory gifts.

Most were life-saving items.

After all, this is the Immortal Emperor chosen by everyone; he can't just die in a catastrophe randomly.

Otherwise, who would cover for them in the future?

And the carefree demeanor of the Great Immortals left the lesser immortals a bit confused.

"Is this how we give gifts in the Immortal Court?"

"We don't have to avoid anything?"

"This is too straightforward!"

The lesser immortals couldn't understand why the Heavenly Venerate Sect Leaders were giving life-saving and fortune-changing gifts, and why the Immortal Emperor was so happy to accept them?

Is the Immortal Emperor particularly unlucky, to the point of dissolving in Tribulation Qi?

The lesser immortals couldn't find an answer to this.

But everyone remembered it.

This showed that there's nothing taboo in the Immortal Court.

In such a solemn occasion, the Great Immortals were also very amiable, with not too many rules.

Such an atmosphere was appreciated, putting everyone at ease.

Ming River said, "Drink this, and when you die, your body will be covered with vibrant Other Shore Flowers, making your death a bit more presentable."

Is this... presentable?

Emperor Donghua thought about it and finally accepted the gift.

It's a specialty from the Netherworld, maybe it could offer some insight into life and death?

"Daoist, I have nothing much to offer, so I'll give you a figurine."

Nuwa gave Emperor Donghua a small proportioned True Master figurine.

"After the Immortal Emperor connects with this figurine, it can act as a death substitute!"

Donghua finally smiled, the gift seemed normal now.

"Of course, there's a downside to note, this figurine must be well-protected."

Nuwa reminded, "If this figurine is destroyed in advance, Daoist you will have to die in its place."

"???" Emperor Donghua widened his eyes.

What kind of thing is this?

This death substitute item is actually two-way?

Suddenly, Emperor Donghua didn't want it anymore.

If this got linked with him, wouldn't it just add a vulnerability?

At this moment, Xuanqing chuckled and said, "Actually, this item can also be used for enemies."

This immediately enlightened Donghua.

Oh right, it's best used on enemies!

If you don't like someone, just link them with it, and then crush this figurine!

"Daoist, you're a genius!"

This isn't a death substitute figurine; it's a prank figurine!

Donghua was very satisfied and accepted the gift.

Nuwa also got an idea.

[Using it this way seems to be the correct way!]

"This is my gift!"

"And mine!"

"Mine is..."

The Great Immortals sincerely offered their congratulatory gifts.
