Wu Clan Enters the Heavenly Court
Buzhou Mountain.
Pangu Hall.
Di Jiang and the others had already entered deep seclusion, leaving only the two siblings in the entire hall.
Zhou Ming said to Houtu beside him.
"Sister Houtu."
"Di Jiang and the others are all in seclusion. You will be in charge of selecting clansmen to join the Heavenly Court."
Houtu bowed in agreement.
"Yes, Elder Brother."
Just as she was about to take care of this matter, Zhou Ming's voice rang out again.
"Our Wu Clan has two slots for the Six Imperial Jade Masters."
"Let's give one of them to Xing Tian."
Zhou Ming said calmly.
"From now on, all members of our clan who join the Heavenly Court will be led by him."
"Tell him that when we get to the Heavenly Court, he should try to give Haotian some face and not make things too awkward."
Houtu nodded.
"Elder Brother, don't worry, I will explain this to Xing Tian."
She paused for a moment, then asked again.
"Then who will fill the remaining position of the Six Imperial Jade Masters?"
"Does your Elder Brother have someone in mind?"
"The remaining one, Sister Houtu, you shall take on the role."
Houtu's face was full of surprise; she thought she had misheard.
"I?"
"Elder Brother, you're not kidding, are you?"
"I'm serious."
Zhou Ming's expression showed no sign of joking.
He explained.
"Sister Houtu, your appointment as one of the Six Imperial Jade Masters is merely a title; you won't actually be handling any affairs."
"The Six Imperial Jade Masters of Heavenly Court hold extraordinary positions and bear the Fortune of Heavenly Court."
Why not take the benefits if there are them?
These words made Houtu think.
She instinctively didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but her Elder Brother's words made sense.
Given her status Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, it seems rather awkward for her to hold a Divine Office in the Heavenly Court.
But what my Elder Brother said makes sense. Just by being a nominal member, I can share in the Heavenly Court's Fortune, which will also benefit my cultivation.
After a moment, she nodded.
"Alright, I'll listen to my Elder Brother."
Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, go and arrange this."
Houtu then turned around and left the Pangu Hall to select suitable personnel from various tribes of the Wu Clan.
As news spread that the Wu Clan had sent people to join the Heavenly Court, the once peaceful Primordial Wilderness was once again thrown into turmoil.
Those rogue Rogue cultivator who had previously scorned the Heavenly Court's recruitment were now beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret.
Inside a Cave Abode, several Rogue cultivator at the Great Yi Golden Immortal level gathered together, all sighing and lamenting.
"How foolish I was! I was so foolish!"
I deeply regret my actions!
A monk beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.
"If I had known earlier that the Wu Clan would join the Heavenly Court, I would never have refused Haotian's offer of recruitment when Haotian sent people!"
"Who would have thought, who would have thought that Haotian would actually be able to curry favor with the Wu Clan!"
The other monk had a bitter expression on his face.
"Yes, that's the Wu Clan! The largest clan in the Primordial Wilderness right now!"
"Joining the Heavenly Court is tantamount to indirectly establishing a connection with the Wu Clan, isn't it?"
"With the protection of the Wu Clan, who would dare to provoke us easily when we travel through the Primordial Wilderness?"
"We pushed away this immense wealth with our own hands!"
He wants to slap himself twice right now.
Oh Wu Clan!
That is the undisputed overlord of the Primordial Wilderness!
Joining the Heavenly Court is tantamount to clinging to the coattails of the Wu Clan. From now on, who in the Primordial Wilderness would dare to easily provoke me?
Everyone fell silent; the atmosphere inside the Cave Abode was incredibly oppressive.
The same scene played out in various parts of the Primordial Wilderness.
Countless cultivators who missed their chance beat their chests in regret.
Mount Shouyang, Eight Views Palace.
Taiqing merely frowned slightly at the external turmoil, and then remained silent.
Neither the Wu Clan nor the Heavenly Court mattered to him.
He had no disciples, and it was even more impossible for him to condescend to serve in the Heavenly Court.
The rise and fall of the Heavenly Court had no effect on him.
He simply opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Then he slowly closed his eyes again, continuing to delve into a deeper state of Enlightenment.
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
Upon hearing this news, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately let out a cold snort.
He made no attempt to hide his disdain as he addressed his disciples, including Guangchengzi, who were seated below.
"What a despicable act!"
"The mighty Wu Clan, Pangu Descendants, actually went to serve as subordinates to those two boys, Haotian and Yaochi!"
"Even if it's just nominal jurisdiction, it's a disgrace to the Saint!"
"That Zhou Ming, unworthy of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, actually did such a disgraceful thing!"
In the eyes of the Yuanshi Tianzun, Saint should be high above, untouched by worldly dust.
Zhou Ming's act of sending his clansmen to the Heavenly Court for the sake of Fortune is simply beneath his dignity!
Guangchengzi immediately echoed.
"Master is right."
"It's utterly ridiculous that the Wu Clan would do something so self-degrading."
Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.
When Tongtian heard Daoist Duobao report this matter, he simply laughed.
"Fun, fun!"
"That Haotian brat does have some skill; he actually managed to persuade Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming."
He addressed his disciples.
"The Wu Clan's entry into the Heavenly Court was their choice."
"Jie Sect Disciple live freely and are not bound by heaven and earth."
Whether the Heavenly Court is good or bad is none of our concern. You only need to focus on your cultivation and not concern yourselves with external conflicts.
Tongtian had no particular opinion on this; he believed in education for all.
With Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage, the Interception Sect truly displayed its grandeur.
He never intended for his disciples to be subject to those constraints in the Heavenly Court.
Empress Wa's Palace.
Nuwa didn't seem to care much about this matter.
How Heavenly Court develops is no longer her concern.
Her only concern now is how to help her Elder Brother Fuxi Reincarnation as soon as possible.
Everything else was just fleeting smoke to her.
The West, Mount Sumeru.
The faces of the two Saint, Jieyin and Zhunti, were filled with regret and resentment.
Zhunti sighed with regret.
"A miscalculation! A complete miscalculation!"
We've missed our best chance!
Jieyin also sighed deeply, his face full of sorrow.
"I miscalculated."
"We originally thought we would offer our help when they were completely desperate."
"Send my Western Teachings disciples to the Heavenly Court to assume Divine Office."
"In this way, not only can we share in the Heavenly Court's Fortune."
"We can proceed gradually, slowly undermining Haotian and Yaochi, and ultimately seize control of the entire Heavenly Court through our Western Teachings."
Who could have imagined that Haotian would possess such courage?
"They actually sided directly with the Wu Clan! How dare they!"
"Now that the Wu Clan has intervened, it's impossible for us to intervene again!"
Zhunti also sighed, his face showing even more sorrow.
One wrong step leads to another.
"Now, we can only wait and look for opportunities later."
The two Saint exchanged a glance, both seeing endless regret and resentment on each other's faces.
In the Primordial Wilderness, opinions differed regarding the Wu Clan's joining the Heavenly Court.
Some people believe that the Heavenly Court has completely become the territory of the Wu Clan, and Haotian and Yaochi are nothing more than puppets in the open.
Some people believe that the Heavenly Court has now latched onto the strongest backer in the Primordial Wilderness and is about to soar to great heights.
Regardless of outside opinions, all Primordial Wilderness beings share a consensus.
The Heavenly Court is about to rise.
