Candidate for the Gouchen Emperor

We're on the same side!

I'm the master's attendant boy, and you're disciples of the Mysterious Sect. Queen Mother of the West is about to ascend to Heaven and contend with me for authority—aren't you going to lend a hand?

At the very least...

Send some disciples to serve under my command!

The Three Pure Ones all fell silent. Though they had argued fiercely with Wu Tian just now, when it came to sending their own disciples to Heaven, they were still unwilling.

Serving as a god in the Heavenly Court came with Fortune, true, but a divine post also meant duties and restrictions. How could that compare to the freedom of the Path of Immortality?

After a moment.

Taiqing's heart stirred slightly. Then he sighed softly and slowly spoke.

"I have only Xuandu as my disciple, so I cannot send anyone to Heaven to assist you. Very well... I shall leave behind my good corpse to reside permanently in Taiqing Heaven and await the Great Heavenly Lord's orders!"

He then acted directly.

A figure stepped out from Taiqing's body. With white hair and beard and a kindly expression, it was Taiqing's good corpse, Lord Taishang.

At the same time, Spiritual Treasures used for pill refinement, such as the Eight Trigrams Furnace, flew out and landed in Lord Taishang's hands. After putting them away, Lord Taishang smiled and bowed to everyone.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor..."

He then flew out of the Hall of High Heavens. Moments later, the entire Heavenly Court trembled slightly as Taiqing Heaven descended and settled atop the original Thirty-Three Heavens!

At this sight.

Haotian's expression froze!

He felt waves of anger and speechlessness, unable to stop himself from grumbling inwardly.

You say your good corpse will follow my orders?

Would I dare command him?
