Primordial World: You Asked Me to Sell Goods, But I Became the Supreme of All Heavens

Holy Mother Jin Ling was not the Daoist Duobao of the past; she possessed many treasures.

Although he was wealthier than Ksitigarbha back then, and richer than Zhao Gongming now, there were some treasures that Holy Mother Jin Ling couldn't possibly exchange.

Those must have been bestowed by our teacher, Master of the Heavens.

"Then..." Zhao Gongming was stunned for a moment.

If that was the case, who else could they turn to?

"I will go find my teacher, Master of the Heavens."

Chapter 55: Haotian Attacks! Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage!

"Teacher."

Zhao Gongming's heart leaped in shock, and then a look of ecstasy spread across his face.

If Master of the Heavens knew about this matter, then everything would be resolved.

However, generally speaking, it was difficult for someone like Zhao Gongming to even see Master of the Heavens. Perhaps only a few of Master of the Heavens' direct disciples had that privilege.

"That would be wonderful," Zhao Gongming nodded.

"Mm... I'll go right now..." Holy Mother Jin Ling intended to say more, but then her expression shifted slightly, and she called out loudly, "The dignified Lord of the Heavenly Court, Haotian, why are you sneaking into my residence?"

As she spoke, Holy Mother Jin Ling soared into the air, standing in the void.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man in magnificent attire also appeared.

"Holy Mother Jin Ling, long time no see," Haotian appeared, a smile on his face.

"Haotian, we are not familiar with each other," Holy Mother Jin Ling shook her head.

This caused Haotian's smile to stiffen slightly. This direct disciple of Master of the Heavens was actually showing him such disrespect.

If it were any other immortal, Haotian would have already taken action to teach them a lesson.

But as a direct disciple of Master of the Heavens, he naturally wouldn't do that.

Moreover, as fellow Quasi-Saint powerhouses, it would be difficult to defeat Holy Mother Jin Ling in a short time.

"Holy Mother Jin Ling, after all, I am in charge of the List of Deities, and I manage all you Immortals and Gods," Haotian said with some helplessness.

"Haotian, if we're talking about the current situation, the Heavenly Origin Sect is the dominant force in the entire Heavenly Court, isn't it?" Holy Mother Jin Ling said.

"Heavenly Origin Sect?" Haotian's gaze deepened slightly.

In the current Heavenly Court, the truly high-ranking positions were indeed mostly held by disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect.

Among the Six Imperial Lords, the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole, and even Ziwei the Great, all had connections to the Heavenly Origin Sect.

Therefore, in a sense, Haotian was truly like a puppet in the Heavenly Court.

This was the real reason why Haotian didn't want to personally manage the Heavenly Court and instead manifested a clone, the Jade Emperor.

"Are True Lord of the Dragon Tiger Altar and Immortal Maiden of Responding to the World within Holy Mother's residence?" Haotian directly stated the reason for his visit.

Earlier, when the List of Deities showed anomalies, Haotian had directly gone to find Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and the others.

Haotian wanted to know what exactly had happened to them.

And this Lord of the Heavenly Court wasn't trying to punish Bixiao and the others, but rather to understand the reason behind it.

Haotian knew the power of the List of Deities.

To achieve something like that would require at least a Saint's level.

But if it were Master of the Heavens, that was impossible.

If he could, Master of the Heavens would have acted long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

Therefore, there must be another Saint behind Bixiao and the others, or even a being surpassing Saints.

Perhaps someone comparable to the Dao Ancestor.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Haotian couldn't do anything unfavorable to Bixiao and the others. He merely wanted to understand.

Vaguely.

Haotian had a feeling that this might be the turning point of his destiny.

This was also the reason why he had impulsively barged into Holy Mother Jin Ling's residence.

Otherwise, Haotian wouldn't have been so reckless.

"So what if they are here? As disciples of the Intercepting Sect, it's normal for them to visit me," Holy Mother Jin Ling said with a smile.

"Holy Mother is right. As disciples of the Intercepting Sect, it is normal for you to visit each other," Haotian nodded. "This time, I've come simply to inquire about one matter. I wonder if Holy Mother knows about it."

"Qiongxiao and Bixiao have both escaped from the List of Deities."

"I just want to inquire about this matter."

"Haotian, I just heard about what you mentioned. They have indeed escaped from the List of Deities, and a senior helped them," Holy Mother Jin Ling said.

"May I meet that senior?" Haotian's eyes lit up.

Perhaps the root of all problems lay with that senior.

"Haotian, do you think you can see this senior whenever you want?" Holy Mother Jin Ling said.

"That's true..." Haotian nodded.

If that senior's strength could rival the Dao Ancestor's, then he, a mere Quasi-Saint, wouldn't be able to see them easily.

Perhaps it was due to some fortuitous encounter that Qiongxiao and the others were able to meet them and receive their help.

"Holy Mother, if possible, after Bixiao and the others meet that senior, could you convey Haotian's wish to meet them?" Haotian said.

"Alright, I understand."

"Thank you, Holy Mother. Haotian will take his leave then."

Haotian cupped his hands and departed.

As things stood, he could only wait for news.

What Holy Mother Jin Ling said was quite reasonable.

Haotian couldn't imagine that an establishment like a general store could exist.

If Haotian knew about it now, he might even empty the Heavenly Court.

Haotian had been the Lord of the Heavenly Court for a very long time, ever since the end of the Witch-Demon Calamity.

His accumulated resources likely weren't too inferior to those of Buddhism.

After all, Buddhism was established after the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

"Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Haotian came by just now, but I've already sent him away," Holy Mother Jin Ling explained upon returning to the courtyard. "To prevent Haotian from coming back, I'll take you all to see our teacher."

"Holy Mother, isn't that inappropriate?" Zhao Gongming hesitated.

As the eldest disciple among the outer disciples, Zhao Gongming hadn't seen his teacher in a long time.

The Three Xiaos, however, had their eyes gleaming.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. If our teacher learns of the news you bring, he'll likely be overjoyed," Holy Mother Jin Ling said with a smile. "Now, follow me."

With a wave of her hand, Holy Mother Jin Ling transformed into a beam of light and soared towards the heavens.

Above the thirty-three heavens, in a certain realm.

A palace floated here. If any disciple of the Intercepting Sect were present, they would recognize it as Biyou Palace.

It was the dojo of Master of the Heavens.

At the end of the Investiture of the Gods, Master of the Heavens was confined by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. However, after a long period, Hongjun eventually allowed Master of the Heavens to return.

But after the Investiture of the Gods, Saints could not easily interfere in mortal affairs.

This was the fundamental reason why no Saints could be seen in the world today.

"We've arrived, this is it," Holy Mother Jin Ling said, looking at the palace that appeared before her, a hint of excitement in her voice. "I haven't seen teacher in a long time either."

"Biyou Palace," Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos said, a little excited.

They recalled the time when countless Immortals came to pay homage to the Intercepting Sect.

Times have changed...

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Changes in Master of the Heavens!

"Teacher, Jin Ling requests an audience," Holy Mother Jin Ling said loudly, standing before Biyou Palace.

"Jin Ling, come in," a hoarse voice emanated from within.

This caused Holy Mother Jin Ling to pause slightly. Why had her teacher's voice become so aged?

"Teacher, I've also brought a few disciples from the Intercepting Sect with me," Holy Mother Jin Ling continued.

"Let them all come in as well," Master of the Heavens' voice was calm and unperturbed.

Or rather, the failure of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity had almost completely extinguished Master of the Heavens' fighting spirit.
