The Saints Gather at Zixiao Palace Again

After achieving Dao, Hongjun went into seclusion at the Zixiao Palace.

Although Zixiao Palace is in the chaos, it cannot be explored or entered.

Even for a sage, entering the Zixiao Palace is not so easy.

However, Hongjun's control over the Primordial World did not diminish in the slightest.

No matter what happened in the Primordial World, it was almost impossible to hide it from Hongjun.

Hongjun was fully aware that this matter concerned the conflict between the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court.

Haotian originally approached it with a "let's give it a try" attitude.

Although he considered himself close to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he was also very clear that everything had changed since he left Zixiao Palace.

However, when Haotian stepped into the chaos, he clearly sensed the existence of the Zixiao Palace.

Haotian was overjoyed and headed straight for the Zixiao Palace.

Before all living beings in the Primordial World, even before saints, he maintained the dignity and status of the Heavenly Emperor.

However, this was not the case in front of Hongjun.

In front of Hongjun, he was still just like that innocent and simple child he once was.

As soon as Haotian entered Zixiao Palace, he tearfully recounted his hardships to Hongjun.

He didn't originally have such great ambitions; he was already quite content to be able to stay by Hongjun's side.

Hongjun, however, gave him an opportunity, which ignited his ambition.

However, Hongjun did not give him the corresponding confidence and authority.

Although the Heavenly Emperor holds a noble status, that is only true in the absence of any saints.

Haotian's path to Heavenly Emperor was destined to be fraught with hardship and forbearance.

Looking at Haotian, who was crying and complaining about his grievances, Hongjun also showed a hint of pity and reluctance.

As the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun naturally knew what Haotian needed to face.

The decision to establish Haotian as the Heavenly Emperor was the result of weighing the pros and cons.

Don't say Haotian is useless; even if you replaced him with another cultivator, Haotian wouldn't have done any better.

Haotian's current predicament is indeed due to her.

"Alright, stop acting like a child."

I know about the grievances you've suffered, and I will handle this matter.

Go back to Heavenly Court and wait for news!

Hongjun showed a rare touch of tenderness towards Haotian.

Although he accepted all the saints as his disciples, it was all for the sake of profit and fortune, and it was all the result of mutual compromise.

There was no master-disciple relationship whatsoever.

On the contrary, Haotian was the cultivator who accompanied him the longest.

Moreover, it is indeed time for the rules of heaven and earth to change.

"Haotian thanks you, teacher!"

Haotian happily bid farewell to Hongjun.

When Haotian arrived, he looked dejected and angry, but upon his return, hope was rekindled.

As Haotian headed to the Zixiao Palace, Yang Jian and his mother were finally reunited.

They were both overjoyed to be reunited.

Following that, Yao Ji explained the Karma to Yang Jian again, hoping to resolve the rift between Yang Jian and Haotian.

After Yao Ji's explanation, Yang Jian did indeed let go of his hatred for Haotian.

However, his incompetence and cowardice towards Haotian remained unchanged.

Their family's current predicament is entirely due to Haotian's incompetence and weakness.

How can a dignified Heavenly Emperor be respected if he can't even protect his own family?

No matter how Yao Ji and Yang Jiao tried to persuade him, they couldn't change Yang Jian's attitude.

Ziwei, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but sigh once again.

Yang Jian's idea was not wrong; Haotian was indeed tricked because of his lack of strength.

However, the Chan Sect was not entirely innocent in this matter either.

However, the teachings of the Chan Sect were so successful that Yang Jian had no doubt about the Chan Sect intentions and held Chan Sect in high esteem.

Seeing this, Ziwei knew that no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

Yang Jian had already completely devoted himself to the Chan Sect.

At the same time, he reaffirmed his decision to take Yang Jiao as his disciple.

Initially, he had the opportunity to recruit Yang Jian.

But he didn't do that.

Ziwei didn't dislike this future renowned Erlang Shen, but she wasn't particularly close to him either.

Yang Jian's understanding is indeed due to the teachings of the Chan Sect.

But isn't this just his true nature?

Yang Jian was not a stupid person; did he really not notice anything at all?

There's nothing wrong with admiring the strong, and it's perfectly normal to weigh the pros and cons.

Although Ziwei disagreed, she wouldn't deny it either.

Yao Ji had clearly noticed something; although she remained warm and friendly towards Yang Jian, she stopped trying to persuade him.

Because she knew that saying anything now would be meaningless.

After the initial joy of reunion, the mother and her three children gradually began to sense something different.

Once mortals, they had to work hard every day to make a living, and Yao Ji was always worried about the Heavenly Court's discovery and retaliation.

But that period was the time when they were closest and happiest.

Although the mother and her three children have all embarked on the path of cultivation, a sense of estrangement has grown between them.

They have each gone on to pursue their own paths.

Although the kinship has not changed, it is already foreseeable that it will gradually drift apart in the future.

Even so, no one chose to give up their spiritual practice.

In the future, they may be able to reunite at the peak of their careers.

Now, they must strive to cultivate themselves and find their own path.

The time we spent together was ultimately too short.

Because she felt guilty towards Haotian and feared becoming a burden to Haotian once again, Yao Ji did not return to the Heavenly Court.

Instead, he chose to stay in Mount Tao to cultivate himself.

Yang Jian, having fulfilled his wish, returned to the Chan Sect with Yuding.

In contrast, Yang Chan did not harbor as much resentment towards Haotian. She accepted Haotian's bestowal and established her Daoist practice on Mount Hua.

Ziwei also took Yang Jiao back to the Northern Kuru Continent.

All the saints also received a telepathic message from Hongjun.

"The long-calm Primordial World has once again been stirred up."

Who knows how many cultivators will perish in this calamity!

Cihang rode the light of escape and flew out of Mount Luojia, heading straight for the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace.

When Cihang entered Zixiao Palace, she found that the Sanqing Jieyin, Nuwa, and others had already arrived.

Besides them, there is also Haotian.

At this moment, Haotian abandoned his usual low-key and restrained demeanor, and his gaze toward Yuanshi was filled with provocation.

It is said that sages are the masters of heaven and earth, but the true master is Hongjun.

Even if he were not limited to the Primordial World, no one would dare to ignore him.

Moreover, each time the Zixiao Palace opens its gates, it signifies a change in the overall balance of power in the world.

Upon receiving Hongjun's summons, the saints were filled with unease, all speculating about Hongjun's purpose.

But upon seeing Haotian, a sudden realization dawned upon him.

Their gathering at the Zixiao Palace this time was probably caused by Haotian.

Immediately, the gazes of the saints toward Haotian turned hostile.

In the Primordial World, Haotian would indeed be unable to withstand such pressure, but this is the Zixiao Palace.

Even if the saints were dissatisfied, they dared not act recklessly.

Especially given that Hongjun's attitude remains unclear.

Although the main hall was silent, there was an inexplicable tense atmosphere.

Cihang's arrival also broke the tranquility of the main hall at just the right time.

Regardless of their inner thoughts, they maintained a calm and friendly demeanor on the surface.
