Within the Heavenly Realm.
The Dao Ancestor's voice echoed.
Upon hearing that voice,
countless immortals and gods first turned solemn, their faces filled with reverence.
Some even knelt on the ground to pay respects to the Dao Ancestor.
It was truly rare for the Dao Ancestor to personally call for someone. The Dao Ancestor had always said little; it was usually the Heavenly Emperor and Golden Mother who visited Chaos before they could meet the Dao Ancestor.
What was happening now was truly unprecedented!
But once the countless immortals and gods came back to their senses,
they realized something was wrong.
The Dao Ancestor had summoned only... Heavenly Emperor Haotian?
What about Yaochi Golden Mother??
Jade Pool Fairyland.
Yaochi Golden Mother silently set down her internet-connected phone and blocked a Bihu question titled, "As the Head of Female Immortals, how should one fight another emperor for power?"
Her expression darkened.
Ever since she had performed Severing the Corpse and become a Quasi-Saint,
she had been full of ambition.
In contrast, Haotian had failed to perform Severing the Corpse for many years.
That had stirred her thoughts. Unwilling to remain overlooked, she began making moves within the Heavenly Court.
But who could have expected that the Dao Ancestor would summon only Haotian to Zixiao Palace and not her? Wasn't the meaning clear enough?
The Dao Ancestor was deeply dissatisfied with her actions.
That was why only Haotian had been summoned to Zixiao Palace, while she had not!!
Suddenly.
A bridge formed from golden light descended from the Chaos trusses and appeared at Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Dao Ancestor was clearly worried that Haotian would arrive too slowly.
He had personally come to invite him!!
Yaochi was utterly disheartened. Dejected, she stepped down from her seat and returned to her sleeping chambers.
