Laozi's Fury
Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, besides the Four Saints, there were only a handful of people, including Haotian, Yu Ding Zhenren, and Taiyi Zhenren.
The conversation of the Four Saints was overheard in its entirety by Taiyi Zhenren, who was paralyzed to the side.
At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren's emotions were extremely complex, a mixture of shock, anger, and panic.
He never imagined that the reason he kept failing his missions would be a Nezha, a little devil under his nose whose cultivation level wasn't high enough to become Mysterious Immortal.
His anger quickly aggravated Taiyi Zhenren's injuries, causing them to flare up again and making him faint once more.
Taiyi Zhenren's fainting alarmed Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Primordial Heavenly Venerable glanced at Taiyi Zhenren, waved his hand to heal his injuries, and then looked at Yuding Yu Ding Zhenren while pointing at Taiyi Zhenren, indicating that Yu Ding should quickly take Taiyi Zhenren away.
Although the Primordial Heavenly Venerable verbally claimed he didn't know if the talisman was effective, as the one who created it, how could he not know whether it had been used?
However, Taiyi Zhenren could be considered to have benefited from the misfortune. After helping Primordial Heavenly Venerable avoid this major loss of face, Primordial Heavenly Venerable did not intend to punish Taiyi Zhenren.
Yu Ding Zhenren dragged Taiyi Zhenren away from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. They had only taken a few steps when Yu Ding Zhenren sensed that many immortals around him were casually glancing at him.
At first Yu Ding Zhenren ignored him, but as he passed through the three heavens and reached the twenty-sixth heaven, he couldn't help but notice the passing immortals glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes.
He reached out and stopped a young Heavenly Immortal, asking her directly why.
After the trembling Heavenly Immortal being stammered out the reason, Yu Ding Zhenren realized that news of their mission failure had already spread throughout the entire Heavenly Court.
How could that be? He just returned to Heavenly Court; there shouldn't be many people who know this.
Yu Ding Zhenren somewhat stunned. He had only asked them to be present in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. His four senior uncles and grand-uncles, being Sage, certainly had no need for such a thing. If someone had deliberately sent a message, it could only be the Jade Emperor Haotian.
After learning that Haotian had deliberately spread the news of his mission failure, Yu Ding Zhenren looked at the gazes of the immortals around him and felt that they were laughing at him.
But Haotian is not someone he can afford to provoke, especially since he has just made a grave mistake.
Unable to provoke Haotian, the Yu Ding Zhenren, in extreme anger, chose to use his Earth-Escaping Golden Light to escape from the Heavenly Court and restore his Cave Abode.
As for Taiyi Zhenren, he was left by Yu Ding Zhenren by the roadside in Heavenly Court, and was carefully taken away and cared for by a passing immortal.
Soon, news of Yu Ding Zhenren's angry departure, leaving Taiyi Zhenren behind, spread throughout the Heavenly Court.
The many Jie Sect Disciples who had been Investiture of the Gods the Gods in Heavenly Court were overjoyed to receive these two pieces of good news in one day, and burst into laughter.
Some even went so far as to throw a banquet and invite their fellow disciples to celebrate.
Taibai Jinxing looked at the various scenes in the Heavenly Court and observed the performance of the Jie Sect Disciples. Satisfied, he headed towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall at this moment.
After a brief period of anger, the Four Saints, having learned of the failure of their plan, joined forces to deduce the Heavenly Secrets of the Human Race.
But this time, the information they had hoped to deduce, such as the specific details of other Fortune ones of Human Race, did not reveal Heavenly Secrets.
Instead, it revealed many Heavenly Secrets about Yang Jian, including how Fuxi manipulated things and led them astray.
This information instantly blew the Four Saints away.
These Four Saints were all enlightened beings who had attained sainthood, and were among the top powerhouses in the Primordial World.
Suddenly someone tells them that they have been led by the nose all along, and all their Jidu were born under the direction of others.
This is even more humiliating to them than being slapped in the face in public.
"What a cunning and treacherous fellow!" Even someone as seemingly amiable as Laozi couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses at this moment.
"This Fuxi dares to be so presumptuous, he truly doesn't take us seriously. Gentlemen, why don't we just start a direct war with the Human Race?"
This time, Laozi no longer concealed his true thoughts and was the first to stand up and advocate for a direct war between the Heavenly Court and the Human Race.
He had always presented himself to others as a wise man, someone who had calculated everything perfectly. But now, the secrets of Heavenly Secrets revealed that every step of his calculations had been arranged for him by Fuxi.
This fact, which was tantamount to trampling on his dignity, made Laozi unable to tolerate it any longer.
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable remained silent, but his gaze was fixed on Haotian, who was about to speak up in opposition.
Haotian sensed the faint killing intent, silently swallowed the words in his mouth, and sat quietly to the side.
But Jieyin and Zhunti on the other side exchanged glances and shook their heads simultaneously.
"It would be unwise to start a war rashly. Let's go to the Zixiao Palace and consult our teacher first."
Jieyin and Zhunti are not stupid. Although the Heavenly Court and the Human Race seem to have fought many rounds, in reality, it is all a battle between the Chan Sect, the Heavenly Court and the Human Race.
Because the Western Paradise where they live is far from the Human Race, it has not yet reached the point where the Western Paradise needs to send people, whether it is to send troops or to use schemes.
However, if a full-scale war were to break out directly, the Western Paradise would no longer be able to fish in troubled waters as it does now.
"We wish to ask our master? Very well! We will go to the Zixiao Palace immediately to request an audience with our master."
Laozi was not surprised that Jieyin and Zhunti would object, after all, everyone could see that the Western Paradise was taking advantage of the situation.
On the contrary, only when Master speaks can Laozi truly feel at ease. If Master issues an order, let's see who dares to take advantage of the situation.
The Four Saints, along with Haotian, went straight into the Zixiao Palace, where Hongjun had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing the crowd, Hongjun did not give them a chance to speak, and stated directly, "The time has come for the Investiture of the Gods to truly emerge."
"As ordained by Heavenly Secrets, the one who wields the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods is destined to bear the Fate of the Flying Bear. In the past, the one who would bear the Fate of the Flying Bear had not yet been born, so the Investiture of the Gods had been entrusted to Haotian. But now it is time for it to return to its rightful owner."
After saying this, Hongjun turned to look at the Primordial Heavenly Venerable: "I know all about what you did in the Primordial World. Since your previous plans have failed one after another, I will entrust this task of finding the Fate of the Flying Bear to you."
"Yes." Upon seeing this, Yuanshi quickly accepted the order, knowing that this was his chance to redeem himself.
After assigning the task to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Hongjun turned to the Human Path and said, "Your idea of turning the chosen one of Human Race against the Fortune is not bad, but you have forgotten that the Investiture of the Gods Calamity is about to begin, and all the unborn Fortune ones of Heaven are under the watchful eye of Fuxi."
"You might as well look to the previous generation, such as the many feudal lords of the Huaxia Imperial Dynasty. Although they had fiefdoms, they had no real power. You might as well give it a try."
