Chapter 2441 A Private Residence
One might question as to why Emperor Feng would grant such a title to Lin Mu. Even if he had saved the life of his son and many others, there were alternatives he could have taken.
In fact, Emperor Feng had never thought that there would come a day he would ever grant a title like this to anyone. But he didn't doubt it for a second and granted it to Lin Mu.
This was due to the fact he knew, if Lin Mu really wished to destroy the Dao Wind Empire, he didn't even need this title. Just the Celestial backing him alone could do this with the wave of her hand.
Plus, it was Lin Mu's reference through the Saintess that allowed his grand daughter to be taken in as a disciple by the Ever Spring Mistress. That alone was priceless, and the alliance obtained through it was worth even more.
With how much Lin Mu had helped them, there was no hesitation in granting him the position of the Imperial Imperator.
The Imperator was a title that wasn't just used in Empires either.
Even the Immortal Court had it and so did the courts above it. But the Imperator from the Immortal Court was a lot different from someone from an empire. If an Imperator was sent to any world, it usually meant the world was in a serious condition or had committed a severe transgression.
Emperor Feng had been worried about one when the Ever Spring Mistress was about to arrive, mistaking her for one.
Though overall, regardless of the organization that granted the title, it was one of great influence and authority. And now that Lin Mu had it, he basically had free command over not only the armies of the Dao Wind Empire but also its resources.
He could direct them as needed and make use of them in any way he saw fit.
It was a great power that could easily corrupt people. Though in Lin Mu's case, wealth was not really something he needed to worry much about and neither was authority, as both were something he could easily obtain on his own.
If he really wished to, it wouldn't take him much to establish a sect or even an empire. If not that, he already had the position as a Peak Head of the Serpent Moon Sect. That alone was a position higher than anything he could obtain in the Immortal Realm in the first place.
Other than the title, Lin Mu was also granted his own personal residence in the Capital.
Though calling it just a residence was underwhelming, as it was much more than that.
"He said he gave me a courtyard… this is no courtyard." Lin Mu said as he stood in front of his new 'residence'.
"You think an Imperial Imperator can have just any place?" Crown Prince Feng Shun chuckled.
He had guided Lin Mu here after their discussions had ended. "This is not bad," Lady Kang said, looking at the buildings.
She, along with Min Ju, and Daoist Chu, had accompanied Lin Mu to his new residence. The others had all gone to do their work as there was certainly a lot that needed to be finished in this time.
"Still… This is an entire palace." Lin Mu spoke as he looked at the vast building that extended for at least eight hundred meters.
It had an elegant look, with plain white walls and green pillars that propped up its majestic roof. The roof was azure in color and curved along the awnings, while at their edges one could see statues of auspicious beasts pulling in good omens.

The entire building was about two hundred meters tall and could easily be classified as the Grand Palace of an Empire in a Mortal world. But that was where the similarities ended as the materials used to build were anything but mortal.
Lin Mu could sense Ten Thousand year old Oak in the pillars and the wall, along with Azalea Ceramic Tiles on the roofs that were made from precious materials too, worth their weight in gold.
All this was simply the structure as it was the Formation arrays that increased the true value of the entire palace.
There were Immortal Qi Gathering Arrays, Qi Amplifying Arrays, Qi Channeling Arrays that connected to the natural Qi Veins of the Capital city, and hundreds of defensive arrays protecting the Palace. On top of this, there were also Isolating arrays set up in individual rooms, granting one the best kind of privacy if needed.
Other than the Palace itself, the 'residence' came with a large garden at the front which was populated with fragrant Immortal Flowers, and Immortal Fruit Trees. On the back, one could see a smaller garden along with a hill that was surrounded by a private lake.
The lake had tens of thousands of Gold Finned Carps living in them, each of them easily worth a High Grade Immortal Stone each.
If one considered it all, it wasn't hard to say that the Palace granted to Lin Mu was no normal palace.
Even the ministers and the High Elders of the Imperial Court would not have residences such as this.
"This is called as the Imperial Azalea Courtyard." Crown Prince Feng Shun introduced. "And you are the first resident in this after nearly thirty thousand years." He added.
"That long?" Lin Mu couldn't help but be shocked. "Who lived here before me?" "It was one of the Envoys of the Immortal Court who came for some work in the empire." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "Though it was long ago before I was born, so all this is just what I've read about." "That's still quite impressive." Lady Kang couldn't help but say. "Though… I must say, the Kang clan will certainly have something much better than this." The woman was not one to back down from a display of wealth.
Especially when it came to a benefactor that was simply priceless.
