Chapter 28: Exchange, Haotian appointed as the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak of the Underworld. The Sages plot to seize celestial positions in the Heavenly Court!
As a merit was bestowed, the witches who had been granted celestial titles all showed joy.
Because they all felt that most of the negative karma and karmic debts they had borne had been eliminated.
The witches are all straightforward; when they dislike you, they really dislike you.
However, if you treat the Wu tribe well, the Wu tribe will be genuinely grateful and will remember it in their hearts.
Previously, Houtu had forced them to make a trip to the Heavenly Court; this time, they were genuinely grateful to Haotian.
The more Xing Tian, Xiang Liu, and the other members of the Wu clan looked at Hao Tian, the more pleasing he seemed to them.
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable!" The group of witches stepped forward enthusiastically, imitating Chen Fusheng's actions, bowing and clasping their hands.
"Haha, you're too kind, everyone." Haotian waved his hand. "I know you're all busy in the Netherworld."
"If anything happens in the future, you can take turns on duty in the Heavenly Court."
"Let's join forces, Heaven and Earth, to bring order to the primordial world!"
"Of course!" Xing Tian patted his chest. "From now on, if anyone dares to challenge the authority of the Great Celestial Venerable, they'll have to ask my Gan and Qi first!"
"That's right, I'll poison his entire clan!" Xiang Liu said with a sinister smile.
Having experienced the Lich War, their personalities have changed slightly.
At this moment, Chen Fusheng suddenly spoke up: "Since the Great Heavenly Venerable has bestowed such a title upon us, our Underworld lineage naturally cannot remain silent!"
As he spoke, Chen Fusheng took out a ghost seal and said, "This is the seal of the Eastern Peak Emperor of the Netherworld. Please accept it, Great Heavenly Venerable!"
Originally, Chen Fusheng thought that giving Haotian the title of the Five Ghost Emperors would be enough.
But to my surprise, Haotian gave so much.
If he were to grant the Five Ghost Emperors a position in the underworld, it would seem that he was being stingy.
The Eastern Peak Emperor's position among the myriad underworld officials is second only to the Fengdu Emperor.
He could be considered the third-in-command.
"This... Fellow Daoist Fusheng, I really cannot accept this."
Unexpectedly, Haotian refused, saying, "Fellow Daoist and the brothers of the Witch Clan have already helped me establish the Heavenly Court, how can I accept such a great gift?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fusheng replied earnestly, "I am very pleased that the Great Celestial Venerable has bestowed upon me the title of Ziwei Emperor."
"But the Great Celestial Venerable refused the Eastern Peak Emperor of the local government, which I dislike very much."
Haotian was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Fusheng to be such a remarkable person."
"In that case, I will accept the position of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak of the Underworld."
As they spoke, the Ghost Seal, symbolizing the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, was instantly taken by Haotian and refined.
The underworld, within the cycle of the six realms of reincarnation.
The runes in the mark representing the cycle of heavenly rebirth suddenly shone brightly.
Meanwhile, the Netherworld was quietly growing stronger.
Houtu, who was in the Pangu Palace, couldn't help but smile.
"The cycle of reincarnation has reached its third stage!"
As Haotian established the Heavenly Court, bestowed divine titles, and bestowed vast amounts of merit, the primordial world was shaken.
The ancient ancestors of all races in the primordial world were dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, re-establishing the Primordial Heavenly Court would also bring great merit.
Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.
Lao Tzu sighed softly, "So be it!"
"I'd still like to trouble you to make the trip, fellow Daoist."
"We are one, fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formality."
After Lao Tzu finished speaking about his benevolent corpse clone, it tore through layers of void and headed directly towards the thirty-third heaven of the Heavenly Court.
Xuan Du, standing before the main hall, remained increasingly calm in the face of all this.
He has achieved great mastery of the non-action principle within the Taiqing Sacred Method.
Begin preparing to understand the next step, and do whatever you want!
Kunlun, Yuxu Palace.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable's face was gloomy as he looked in the direction of the Heavenly Court, filled with extreme disgust.
At this moment, Guang Chengzi, the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals below, noticed Yuanshi's displeasure.
He quickly said, "Teacher, Haotian actually bestowed an official title upon the Wu clan, who do not cultivate their primordial spirit! He truly does not understand the will of Heaven!"
"Still flirting with that unlucky creature?"
"He is utterly unworthy of being called the Great Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Court!"
"Please clear the sky, teacher!"
Upon hearing Guang Chengzi's words, the other Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, including Nanji and Randeng, looked at him with shock.
Qingtian side?
How dare Guang Chengzi say that?
However, to the surprise of all the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, their teacher, Yuanshi, did not reprimand Guangchengzi.
He even nodded in agreement, and his gloomy expression began to soften.
However, Yuanshi looked at Guangchengzi and said, "Disciple, do not be impatient in your cultivation."
"Although that brat Haotian did wrong, he was ultimately appointed by your grandmaster."
"I should give him another chance."
"Alright then, Randeng, you will be the Vice Leader of my Chan Sect, representing our sect on a trip to the Heavenly Court!"
"Let Haotian give me an explanation!"
"Yes!" Ran Deng, who was standing to the side, immediately and respectfully replied.
At the same time, I was constantly thinking:
"Give Haotian a chance?"
"Give Haotian an explanation to the teacher? What explanation?"
Although he had many questions in his mind, Randeng did not dare to ask Yuanshi directly.
Because he knew that Yuanshi disliked him more and more.
He feared that if Yuanshi asked this question, he would think Yuanshi was as stupid as an ox.
I can only ponder this carefully on the way to Heaven.
East China Sea.
The Jie Sect already possessed the imposing aura of ten thousand immortals paying homage.
The entire sea area around Jin'ao Island is filled with a misty spiritual energy.
Every now and then, cultivators would call upon their friends and sit down to discuss the Dao.
The four direct descendants of the Jie Sect were somewhat envious of the great merit bestowed upon the re-establishment of the Heavenly Court.
However, as direct disciples of the Tongtian sect who could fight three opponents at once, they naturally possessed the arrogance of disciples of a great sage sect.
Naturally, he did not go to his teacher Tongtian because of Haotian's establishment of the Heavenly Court.
After all, Master Tongtian had already politely declined Haotian's offer.
However, quite a few peripheral disciples have already engaged in misconduct in their pursuit of rapid cultivation advancement.
"Waaaaah..."
'
Mount Sumeru in the West, Zhunti wept.
"It's so bitter, so bitter! Why didn't I think of the great merit in re-establishing the Heavenly Court?"
"No, we must go to the Heavenly Court and ask Haotian to grant some official positions to our Western Sect disciples as well."
"Junior brother, there's a hidden dragon in the Heavenly Court," Jieyin said with some concern.
"Senior brother, merit is of utmost importance." A glint of light flashed in Zhunti's eyes.
"Yeah!" the guide nodded. "Let's go all out!"
Soon, Jieyin and Zhunti brought along a large group of Western Sect disciples, as many as they could possibly take.
After all, the Heavenly Court has just been established, how many Wu tribes can retreat to the Underworld?
There are still plenty of vacancies, no titles to be bestowed.
We must wait until we accumulate some merit.
Instantly, beams of golden light followed Jieyin and Zhunti as they emerged from the thirty-third heaven of the Heavenly Court.
Fang Qi: "Calling the group leader, now we need to have Jieyin and Zhunti lead us to the Heavenly Court to request titles. Get ready."
Group owner Chen Fusheng: "Demanding titles? These Jieyin and Zhunti aren't weasel spirits in human form... This is truly shameless."
Huang Tao: "Hahaha... But I reckon it won't just be the two Western Saints who will come."
Group owner Chen Fusheng: "That's for sure."
Houtu, who was eavesdropping, was taken aback. "Didn't all the other sages refuse Haotian? Could it be that they will also go to the Heavenly Court?"
Just then.
Lao Tzu's benevolent self, Taishang Laojun, was the first to arrive in the Heavenly Court!
