Peach Banquet finally came to an end in an atmosphere of harmony on the surface and surging undercurrents on the inside.
All the immortals bid farewell to Haotian Yaochi with different thoughts, and returned to the cave in their escaping light.
Nuwa and Qingxuan did not stay long. Under the grateful greetings of Haotian and Yaochi, they returned to Creation Heaven above Thirty-Three Heavens, following the purple golden lotus that had not completely dispersed in the sky.
Inside the Creation Palace, the sea of clouds is billowing and the fairy flowers are swaying.
Nuwa waved back and looked at the leisurely Qingxuan, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"What you did today was beyond my expectation. First you supported Haotian, and then you recommended Phoenix Race to Heavenly Court. Although Phoenix Race can indeed accumulate merit and eliminate Karma by entering heaven, but with the power of you and me, it is not difficult to protect them and slowly resolve them, so why let them go to the muddy waters of Heavenly Court?"
She is aloof and has no interest in Heavenly Court's authority. She only feels that there are many disputes there and is far less pure than her own Dao Field.
Hearing this, Qingxuan smiled slightly, picked up the jade pot and poured a cup of clear dew for Nuwa, speaking in a relaxed tone.
"Heavenly Court is an important place in the three realms. It nominally rules the three realms. It is always good to maintain the basic order. Haotian and Yaochi are in a difficult situation. You and I have seen it. If there is no one to support them, this Heavenly Court will probably become a playground for the saints. It will be of no use to the stability of Primordial World. It's just a matter of effort and a good relationship."
He paused before adding seemingly casually.
"Besides, Phoenix Race has lived in Immortal Volcano and Creation Heaven for a long time. Although he has gained purity, he has also lost experience. Joining Heavenly Court to take charge of some power and sort out Zhou Tian will also be beneficial to the growth of his ethnic group and accumulation of practical experience. He cannot live under the protection of his wings."
Nuwa Hearing that what he said was reasonable, and seeing that his expression was calm, he nodded slightly and didn't delve deeper.
She was indifferent by nature, and since Qingxuan had already considered it, she was happy to be at ease. She turned to talk about Human Race's recent climate changes and the various achievements of Fuxi's implementation of the New Deal, with joy in her eyes.
Qingxuan responded with a smile on his face, but he was thinking about something else in his heart.
[Good karma? Of course it is good karma. But good karma is not just for the present. Haotian seems to be aggrieved, but in fact he is not low-spirited. Now that he has strong support from Phoenix Race, he is full of confidence. Quite a few. With his temperament, how can he be willing to be a puppet emperor forever? When he becomes more mature, the conflict with the saint's disciples becomes more and more serious, and together with the calamity... that's when he holds Investiture of the Gods and starts the killing calamity!]
[Investiture of the Gods Calamity... That was a catastrophe that swept Xuanmen Three Teachings, and even the entire Primordial World. Let Kong Xuan take over Heavenly Court in advance, occupy the position of Great Emperor Gouchen, one of Western Imperial Court, and take charge of the army. Ge and commanding ten thousand thunders will drive a solid nail into the core of the future Heavenly Court. At that time, no matter how the calamity evolves, Phoenix Race will have a legal and high-level foothold in Heavenly Court. If you advance, you can gain more luck and merit, and if you retreat, you can preserve the clan. It is better than being passively involved in the calamity and leaving life and death up to fate. I will make the move first.]
Nuwa raised her head and rolled her beautiful eyes at him. She knew how this traitor could be so kind and insisted on helping Haotian stand up, and also said so many things to deceive her.
After Nuwa realized his destiny, Qingxuan sent a message from Divine Sense across the endless void, first arriving at Kong Xuan who lived in the south of Creation Heaven.
In the message, Qing Xuan briefly explained the cause and effect of General Qingxuan's Pantao Association and his recommendation of the Feng clan to the throne of Emperor Chen, and focused on analyzing the pros and cons.
"... When you enter Heavenly Court, although you need to abide by some heavenly rules, you can obtain the orthodox divine position and enjoy the blessings of Heavenly Court's Fortune and merit. It will be helpful for you Phoenix Race to resolve the remaining Karma and accelerate your reproduction and growth. Great benefit. Great Emperor Gouchen holds a high position of authority and is in charge of military revolution and ten thousand thunders, which can give full play to your Phoenix Race strengths. This is a good opportunity for Phoenix Race to return to the Primordial World stage and continue to be glorious. I hope you will seize it."
Kong Xuan was shocked at first when he heard this news, and then he thought deeply.
As Phoenix Clan Crown Prince, he shoulders the important responsibility of ethnic rejuvenation, so he naturally understands that Karma is like a shackle, restricting the development of Phoenix Race.
Now under the protection of two Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, Qingxuan and Nuwa, Karma has lost most of its power. If Heavenly Court can gain the merit and blessing of the orthodox god, Phoenix Race will be able to rise again soon!
As for being constrained by Heavenly Court... what are some rules compared to the future of the race?
Without any hesitation, he immediately responded with Divine Sense.
"Kong Xuan will obey the Immortal Master's decree! Phoenix Race is willing to join Heavenly Court. He will live up to the high expectations of the Immortal Master and the Empress, and will also fulfill his duties and assist the Emperor of Heaven!"
The next day, Heavenly Court Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Haotian Shangdi was discussing with Jade Pool Golden Mother how to arrange the newly recruited casual cultivators, when he suddenly heard that South Heaven Gate was bursting with fairy music and auspicious energy.
The immortal official on duty came in a hurry to report.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Phoenix Race Kong Xuan, led hundreds of Phoenix Race elites to seek an audience outside South Heaven Gate!"
Haotian was overjoyed when he heard this and stood up suddenly.
"Please quickly! No, I will go and greet you personally!"
At this moment, Haotian and Yaochi led a group of immortal officials to personally welcome Lingxiao Palace.
Outside South Heaven Gate, headed by Kong Xuan, hundreds of Phoenix Race disciples stood solemnly.
Although these Phoenix Race are in human form, they still cannot hide their natural nobility and fierce aura, with Nanming Li Fire faintly flowing around their bodies, and their eyes are sharp.
The leader, Kong Xuan, is dressed in five-color fairy clothes, has an extremely handsome appearance, and has an aura as deep as the sea. He is clearly in the realm of Quasi-Sage, which makes people dare not look down.
"Kong Xuan Fellow Daoist is here, I am very happy! Please come in quickly!"
Haotian is full of smiles and has a very enthusiastic attitude.
Kong Xuan is neither humble nor overbearing, and returns the favor.
"Kong Xuan, in accordance with the decrees of Immortal Venerable Qing Xuan and Empress Nuwa, came here to serve Heavenly Court. I am willing to serve your majesty. I hope your majesty will not give up."
Both parties were polite and walked into the Lingxiao Palace.
In front of a palace full of immortals and gods, Haotian Shangdi officially promulgated the Emperor's edict:
"Phoenix Clan Crown Prince Kong Xuan, who possesses both political integrity and talent, and profound cultivation, is hereby canonized as 'Great Emperor Gouchen Shanggong Tianhuang', ranking Heavenly Court Western Imperial Court, in charge of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, is in charge of human revolution and war, controls thousands of thunders, and coordinates yin and yang! All the disciples of Phoenix Race led by him are under the command of Great Emperor Gouchen, and they are at his disposal and hold the relevant positions of gods. I admire this!"
After the edict was issued, there was a sense of heaven, and the divine luck of the brilliant position was added to the body of Kong Xuan, making it even more majestic.
Kong Xuan bowed to accept the order, thanked him for accepting the order.
The news spread quickly throughout Primordial World as if it had wings.
"Phoenix Race actually fell in with Heavenly Court!"
"Kong Xuan was named Great Emperor Gouchen! That is the emperor Western Imperial Court!"
"Amazing! Amazing! Is Heavenly Court about to rise?"
"I heard it was recommended by Immortal Venerable Qing Xuan..."
For a moment, Primordial World vibrated.
Many forces that originally looked down upon Heavenly Court now have to re-examine this Heavenly Court, which was established by Dao Ancestor and now has strong support from Phoenix Race.
The reputation of Heavenly Court has reached an unprecedented height as Kong Xuan was granted the title of Great Emperor Gouchen.
However, in contrast to this, is the suppressed anger in several saints Dao Field.
Within Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face was gloomy, and his whole body Jade Clarity Immortal Light looked a little confused.
"What a Qingxuan! What a Phoenix Race! How dare you humiliate my Chan Teachings appearance like this, and now even seize the Western Imperial Court throne!"
He had always had a grudge against Qingxuan and Nuwa, but now old and new hatreds were flooding into his heart, and he felt an uneasy feeling of depression in his chest.
He originally planned to arrange for his disciples to occupy the Western Imperial Court throne, but now an "outsider" has taken over it first.
Next to Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
Daoist Jieyin looked increasingly miserable, while Daoist Zhunti looked unhappy.
"Martial Brother, that Qingxuan bullied others too much! First he allowed the boy under my seat to fall in love with me in the West, and now he forcefully stuffed Phoenix Race into Heavenly Court to occupy a high position! This is obviously to cut off my chance of penetration in the West in Eastern Land!"
"Alas, Heavenly Court's Fortune has risen sharply because of this, which is not good for our plans..."
The two saints were relatively speechless, and their fear and dissatisfaction with Qingxuan and Nuwa deepened.
