Preliminary Alliance, Return Empty-Handed

The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my ally" applies to Haotian as well.

Haotian claims to be the supreme being of heaven and earth, but the true supreme being of heaven and earth has always been the Heavenly Dao Sage.

When facing the Sanqing Ones, he was always the one being suppressed.

In the Primordial World, besides a few other sages, only Cihang could rival the Sanqing.

Unfortunately, neither Nuwa, Houtu, nor Cihang had much of a relationship with him.

Haotian had always wanted to form an alliance with them but had never had the opportunity.

Now that he has met Ziwei, he naturally does not want to start a fight right away.

Moreover, compared to Cihang, Ziwei is the future Great Emperor Ziwei of the Heavenly Court, and clearly has a deeper connection with him.

With Ziwei's help, his power and prestige in the Heavenly Court will surely be further enhanced.

With a better option available, Haotian temporarily put aside Yang Jiao and the other two.

Although Yang Jiao and the other two had good aptitude, that was all they had.

The future is full of uncertainties, and who can be sure how far they will go?

As for family ties, even Yao Ji could betray him, let alone anything else.

Don't blame Haotian for prioritizing personal gain and loss.

Ziwei, however, is different. He is destined to be the Great Emperor Ziwei, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to Quasi-Saint.

"Thank you for your Heavenly Emperor, Your Majesty. Although Ziwei is willing to help the Heavenly Emperor, her strength and status are limited."

Ziwei will definitely go to the Heavenly Court; that is Ziwei's future.

But not now!

Although Ziwei's tone was sincere and polite, she rejected Haotian.

"But I was wrong."

Since you already have a clear goal, I won't insist.

However, if you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to come to the Heavenly Court to find me.

Although my strength is inferior to that of the Cihang Lord Haotian, there's no need to trouble you with such trivial matters!

Although Ziwei rejected him, Haotian was not dissatisfied.

Ziwei is right. With his current cultivation level and strength, it is indeed more suitable for him to stay in the Primordial World.

He now wants to express his attitude and goodwill towards Ziwei.

"Thank you, Your Heavenly Emperor!"

This time, Ziwei did not refuse.

"No need to be so polite, there will be many more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"I might have to rely on you again in the future!"

Haotian was very satisfied with Ziwei's attitude; he was merely making an investment in advance.

Of course, he didn't feel that the two had developed a deep friendship from the very first meeting.

Everything is based on self-interest.

As for whether there will be conflict in the future, that's all in the future.

"It is an honor for Ziwei to be favored by the Heavenly Emperor, Ziwei will strive not to disappoint His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

The two exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere between them became even more harmonious.

"It is an honor for Haotian to get to know you in advance."

So, my friend, you were indirectly involved in Yao Ji's affair. I wonder what your thoughts are on this?

Although Ziwei only has the cultivation level of Taiyi, Haotian values her highly.

With Cihang rarely appearing in Cihang, Ziwei's attitude indirectly represents Cihang.

"This matter may seem simple, but it is in fact a contest among the sages."

Although the Heavenly Court is weak, it is the legitimate authority of Heaven and Earth, and neither the Three Pure Ones nor the West can completely abandon it.

Whether it's Yang Tianyou or Yao Ji, they're nothing more than pawns!

Ziwei did not hide her wisdom and abilities from Haotian.

"Young friend, you truly see things very clearly."

Although I am the Heavenly Emperor and seem to enjoy boundless glory, how much do I know about the hardships I endure!

But even if he's a saint, I won't easily admit defeat.

Although their schemes were despicable, they still left me with several exceptionally talented nephews!

Haotian also showed a rare display of genuine emotion.

"His Majesty has come here surely to bring back Yang Jiao and the other two, hasn't he?"

However, this matter may not be so easy.

Because of the affair between Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou, they probably harbor more resentment towards His Majesty at this moment!

Ziwei knew Haotian's plans, but she didn't approve of them.

"They all possess extraordinary talent and wisdom; once they understand the Karma, they will make the right choice!"

Haotian remained confident about this.

Even if they harbor resentment, he is confident he can change their perception.

"Since Your Majesty knows that the sages have plotted against you, you should also understand that this matter is not so simple!"

Ziwei didn't explain further, but instead opened the door to the side hall, letting them see for themselves.

The three people, who were originally ordinary, radiated a faint golden light in the eyes of Haotian and Ziwei.

"This has the aura and imprint of the West. What a clever scheme by Yang Tianyou!"

Even in death, there is no peace!

Haotian's face showed anger again, and he then unleashed a burst of immortal energy to expel the imprints of energy from the bodies of the several people.

If this mark was left by Jieyin and Zhunti, even Haotian would be powerless to remove it.

But Yang Tianyou was, after all, only Daluo Golden Immortal.

As Haotian formed a series of hand seals, the golden light on the three of them slowly dissipated.

But at this moment, Haotian had no information.

The three not only bear Western characteristics, but also harbor other schemes.

Although the Jade Purity Immortal Light emanating from Yang Jian was faint, it was extremely pure, and even Haotian was powerless to change it.

Even Yang Chan possessed a rich aura of creation.

"I, the Heavenly Emperor, am truly someone everyone can bully!"

Haotian couldn't help but feel somewhat dejected.

Clearly, their future was predetermined the moment they were born.

Although he is the Heavenly Emperor, he cannot truly be an enemy of a sage.

Now, he has no choice but to endure it.

He has given up on the plan to bring the three back to Heavenly Court for training.

Immediately, Haotian withdrew his gaze from the two of them and turned to look at Yang Jiao.

Although all three are sons of Yao Ji, their innate talents differ somewhat.

As the first son of a god, Yang Jiao's talent and fortune surpassed those of the other two.

"Although Yang Jiao does not bear the mark of a saint, he possesses an extremely pure innate power. This must be your doing, young friend!"

Haotian then turned to look at Ziwei.

"Yang Jiao was born under my witness, and we are destined to be together. That is why I took him as my disciple and passed on the Way of Stars!"

When Yang Jiao was mentioned, Ziwei showed a look of satisfaction and appreciation.

"It is Yang Jiao's good fortune that my young friend has taken a liking to you."

With your guidance, I am very relieved. However, I will have to trouble you in the future!

Haotian showed no displeasure at Yang Jiao's becoming his disciple; on the contrary, he was pleased to see it happen.

Becoming a disciple of Ziwei also means joining the Mount Luojia lineage.

Unlike the Sanqing, Cihang, though also powerful, had no conflict of interest with them.

Yang Jiao's existence was also key to deepening his relationship with the Mount Luojia lineage, so how could he be dissatisfied?

Haotian originally intended to take Yang Jiao and the other two away, but now that he saw no hope, he did not linger any longer.

After exchanging a few words with Ziwei, he returned to the Heavenly Court once again.

This incident may seem minor, but it has had a significant impact on the Heavenly Court.

He also urgently needs to return to Heavenly Court to stabilize the situation Heavenly Court.

He was already in a weak position and really couldn't afford any more losses.
