Regardless of Ao Hong's purpose, the addition of a Quasi-Saint to the Heavenly Court still significantly boosted its fortunes and also inspired some Loose Cultivators to consider joining.
Indeed, following Ao Hong's accession, a Loose Cultivator who called himself the Barefoot Immortal joined the Heavenly Court, and he too possessed the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Hao Tian was overjoyed!
Subsequently, he hosted a banquet for the immortals at the Turquoise Pool, lifted his cup filled with Immortal Wine, and made a promise to all: "It is an honor for me, Hao Tian, that you, esteemed Daoists, are willing to join the Heavenly Court. When the might of the Heavenly Court radiates through the Three Realms and commands respect from the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, you will all be the elders of my Heavenly Court, and I will certainly not let you down!"
