Haotian Becomes a Saint
"Haha! I finally did it!"
Deep within the Heavenly Court, in a hidden palace, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted!
Five hundred years!
Haotian has finally woken up!
He exuded a mysterious and ethereal aura.
The next moment, he appeared directly above the Thirty-three Heavens of the celestial realm!
"I am Haotian! The Heavenly Emperor who rules the Heavenly Court!"
He looked down and his voice resounded in the hearts of every immortal and god, "Suppress all disobedience, sweep away all evil spirits, protect the order of Heavenly Dao, and bless all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness world!"
He then took a deep breath, his voice echoing throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
"I am Haotian, and today... I shall attain sainthood!"
"Boom!!!"
The Heavenly Dao seemed to be building momentum for Haotian, causing the entire Primordial Wilderness world to tremble violently at the same time!
Golden Celebration Cloud appeared in the void above!
Layer upon layer, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, it illuminates the entire celestial realm with a golden splendor, indescribably noble!
On the earth, countless golden lotus phantoms continuously emerged!
Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth!
Wherever it passed, vegetation flourished, stubborn rocks shone, illnesses vanished, and malevolence subsided. Countless living beings were blessed and bowed in worship towards the Heavenly Court!
In the void, celestial music played spontaneously, heavenly flowers rained down, illusory dragons and phoenixes sang and circled, and thousands of auspicious beasts and their radiant shadows ran about in celebration.
The next moment, the immense Heavenly Dao Merit all transformed into golden light points and surged wildly into Haotian's body!
"This... how many saints are there now?"
"The direction of the Heavenly Court! It's the Heavenly Emperor Haotian!"
"Haotian... he... became a saint?!"
"My God! This Primordial Wilderness... is completely different from before!"
Throughout the Primordial Wilderness, countless beings were stunned into numbness by the continuous series of wondrous phenomena of the sacred path.
The position of sainthood, once an unattainable status, seems to be becoming... less out of reach?
Countless powerful beings, desperately seeking their way forward, couldn't help but feel lost, wondering where their path to enlightenment lay.
The Heavenly Court was now in complete uproar!
"The Heavenly Emperor! It's His Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"His Your Majesty has attained sainthood! Heavenly Court now has its own saint!"
"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor! We congratulate Your Majesty on your long life and the eternal prosperity of your holy path!"
From the lowest-ranking celestial patrolmen and sweeping fairies, to the celestial officials and generals of various palaces and halls, and then to the guardians of the four heavenly gates, the star lords of the heavens, and the righteous gods of various departments.
All the gods and celestial officials belonging to the Heavenly Court, whether sincerely or not, at this moment all faced the direction of Haotian, prostrated themselves, and their congratulations Yunxiao!
For countless years, the Heavenly Court has had the title of ruler of the Three Realms, but because there is no sage to govern it, it is subject to the control of various Human Teachings, its authority is lost, and its decrees are difficult to implement.
Even these Heavenly Court deities often couldn't hold their heads high when out in the world.
Now, their Heavenly Emperor, their supreme ruler, has finally attained sainthood!
This means that from now on, the Heavenly Court will truly have the confidence to engage in equal dialogue with the Human Teachings, and even to stand on equal footing with it!
Those of them who belong to the Heavenly Court can finally stand up straight!
I will never be looked down upon again!
Excitement! Ecstasy! Yang Mei!
This is the shared sentiment of all the Heavenly Court at this moment!
With the blessing of endless merit, Haotian's aura surged wildly at a visible speed!
A powerful aura of sainthood emanated from his body, sweeping across the entire Primordial Wilderness.
Sainthood attained!
"Buzz!"
The final transformation is complete!
Haotian stood in the void, his body enveloped in endless golden light and profound Daoist Dao Rhythm, his eyes reflecting the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, he is the manifestation of divine will!
Haotian felt a wisp of his primordial spirit fly out of his body uncontrollably and enter the void.
Before long, he felt a deeper connection with the Heavenly Dao.
"Is this what they mean by ' the Heavenly Dao gives birth to sages, and the Heavenly Dao does not perish when sages die'?"
Haotian muttered to himself.
But he had no regrets.
In the distance, Yaochi's face was filled with excitement and relief, and there were even tears glistening in her eyes.
Countless cycles have passed!
She knew better than anyone else the deep longing her senior brother had for power.
Now, my senior brother has finally achieved his wish, ascended to the heavens in one step, and attained the venerable position of a saint!
She was genuinely happy for him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on attaining sainthood! Your wish has been fulfilled!" Yaochi stepped forward and bowed gracefully.
Haotian turned around, a genuine smile on his face, and reached out to help her up. "Haha, thank you, Junior Sister. From now on, the Heavenly Court will stand tall!"
His words were full of confidence and domineering attitude.
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
Yuanshi felt the sage-like pressure from Haotian, his brows furrowed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He sneered, "Hmph! A mere gatekeeper from the Purple Cloud Palace can become a sage? Truly... absurd! I wonder what Master was thinking!"
In his eyes, Haotian was of lowly origin and shallow in nature, relying entirely on the grace of the Dao Ancestor, and was not worthy of being a saint like him!
Eight Sceneries Palace.
The Taishang merely paused slightly in the hand holding his whisk, paying no further attention, and continued to focus on his alchemy.
The West, Mount Ling.
Inside the main hall, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance.
Zhunti's tone was complicated. "Senior brother, I never expected... that Haotian Boy would actually become so powerful and attain sainthood. In that case, we probably won't be able to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Court as easily as before."
He recalled how, during the Investiture of the Gods, he had used his status as a saint to pressure Haotian, asking Haotian to favor the Western Teachings disciples who were on the list.
Now that the other party has become a saint, it will be difficult to control them.
The sorrow on Jieyin's face deepened. He sighed and said helplessly, "Amitabha, these are truly troubled times. Originally, we were supposed to use the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods to guide those with affinity, which would not only increase the number of disciples in our Western Teachings but also accumulate merit and fortune, thus strengthening our sect."
"Who would have thought that Yuanshi would betray those who helped him, turning his back on them and even withholding the Investiture of the Gods?"
"Now that Duobao has founded some Mahayana Buddhism, he has taken away a lot of our sect's fortune. Junior brother, tell me, why is our Western Teachings always so unlucky and full of difficulties?"
He was confused, unsure whether his convictions were right or wrong.
Zhunti was taken aback upon hearing this, and seeing his senior brother's sorrowful face, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
My senior brother has always been the backbone of the Western Teachings, with the most steadfast will. Yet now he has uttered such disheartening words, which shows that the successive blows have indeed left him exhausted.
"Senior brother..." Zhunti quickly comforted him, "Don't be discouraged! You and I are also saints, and the Western Teachings still has us in charge; its foundation remains!"
"As long as we brothers and sisters work together with one heart and one mind, and gradually accumulate strength, we will surely achieve the glory of the West!"
The Jieyin glanced at him, said nothing more, and simply murmured a Buddhist chant, "Amitabha!"
Then he closed his eyes again.
Three Immortal Islands, Lin Dao Pavilion.
Lin Tian, who was training Lu Ya, smiled and shook his head, "Hongjun certainly has a good plan."
"Unfortunately, it's all just a castle in the air, a mirage. If you try to fight me, you're destined to lose."
Lu Ya, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
Heavenly Court.
Haotian felt the vast power within him and was in a great mood.
He then declared, "My attainment of enlightenment today is a great honor for the Heavenly Court Heavenly Court. By imperial decree, all celestial officials, generals, warriors, and fairy maidens of the Heavenly Court shall be rewarded with Flat Peach, golden pills, and spirit crystals according to their rank!"
"All departments should diligently perform their duties, cultivate virtue, and work together with me to create a glorious and prosperous era for the Heavenly Court!"
"Your humble servants express our deepest gratitude to the Heavenly Emperor! We will certainly exert all our strength to serve Your Majesty and the Heavenly Court!"
Upon hearing this, the gods below were even more excited and bowed in unison.
The tangible benefits, coupled with the majesty of the Sage Heavenly Emperor, were enough to make the vast majority of immortals and gods wholeheartedly devoted to him.
Yaochi came to Haotian's side, and seeing this scene, she was also happy, and said softly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Haotian grasped her hand and chuckled softly, "Junior Sister, this is just the beginning. Rest assured, it won't be long before I show the Primordial Wilderness what the true might of the Heavenly Court is!"
