In the Immortal Realm, there was indeed such a rule.
Every thirty thousand years, a new Emperor of the Central Immortal Court would be selected.
And before the new Emperor could ascend the throne, he had to obtain Wang Ye's approval.
Otherwise, his title would be unjustified and his position untenable!
He would no longer be qualified to wield the Central Immortal Court's great authority.
This rule had been passed down since the reign of the sixth Emperor of the Central Immortal Court, the "Divine Mountain Emperor," and had practically become an Iron Law!

Bang!
With a sweep of his sleeve,
