Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

It is said that the great god Pangu was hatched from an egg.

The more Yunxiao thought about it, the more shocked and incredulous she became.

Because it couldn't have been a mortal old man she met while traveling the human world who gave it to her.

Someone who even Saints call "Grandpa," how could he be an ordinary person?

Impossible!

"That's right, Grandpa. He's an old man from the mortal realm," Tongtian nodded.

Oh, this.

No way, is he really a mortal?

"This Grandpa is a mortal, and yet he is not a mortal."

Tongtian saw through Yunxiao's thoughts and smiled, "You don't need to overthink it. I will definitely find an opportunity to take you to meet him. There is an incredibly amazing great opportunity there."

"Great opportunity? Incredibly amazing?" Yunxiao's heart trembled.

Even a Saint like the Sect Master said it was incredibly amazing, so it must be truly astonishing.

That opportunity must be unimaginably great.

"Mm, you take good care of the Enlightenment Tea, and then go find Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and your senior brother Gongming."

"In two months, you will gather at Golden Ao Island, and I will take you to meet my Grandpa."

Tongtian Sect Master's use of "Grandpa" was completely natural, as if he was already used to it.

But Yunxiao still felt strange hearing Tongtian Sect Master call someone "Grandpa" repeatedly.

In this world, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't make the Three Pure Ones call him Grandpa.

What kind of existence could this Grandpa be?

Yunxiao was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Chapter 25: The Dog Head Guillotine, Executing Taishang Laojun

The mortal realm.

In Zhang Yifan's courtyard, the Jade Emperor and his entourage worked tirelessly for three days, building several large rooms.

Afterward, the heavenly gods respectfully departed.

But Yang Jian stayed behind.

The Jade Emperor did not linger.

The three-day deadline for Taishang Laojun had arrived.

This matter had to be resolved.

Hall of Miraculous Mist.

The Jade Emperor ordered someone to strike the Yellow Reed Bell again, summoning the gods of the Heavenly Court to court.

Hearing the bell, a host of heavenly gods stopped their work and headed to the Hall of Miraculous Mist.

However, a large number of heavenly gods did not move at this moment, ignoring the bell's summons.

"Father, are we really not going?" Third Prince Nezha asked Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

"Go where? Is this Jade Emperor out of his mind, summoning the immortals at the drop of a hat? Is he playing games? Or is he trying to imitate King You of Zhou with beacon fires to amuse the nobles?" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King drank his tea, completely unfazed, not putting the Jade Emperor in his eyes at all.

"Aren't you afraid the Jade Emperor will cause trouble later?" Nezha was a little unsure about this Jade Emperor.

"Afraid of what? Your father is the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court, appointed by the Investiture of the Gods List. I command the military power of the Three Realms. This Heavenly Emperor is just a nominal puppet. If he causes trouble? It would be good enough if I don't cause trouble for him." Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing laughed.

What a joke, I have military power in my hands, who am I afraid of? At worst, I'll purge the emperor's surroundings!

"Oh, this..." Nezha never expected his father to be so arrogant.

He hoped nothing would go wrong. Nezha thought to himself, he always felt something was off about this Jade Emperor.

Hall of Miraculous Mist.

Inside the great hall, dozens of heavenly gods stood scattered about.

Compared to the last summons, there were over three hundred fewer heavenly gods; more than half of them had directly ignored the Jade Emperor's decree.

"Very good."

The Jade Emperor chuckled, "All of you present are the pillars of our Heavenly Court. I, your Emperor, am very pleased."

"We are willing to serve Your Majesty," the assembled immortals bowed.

Who would want to come? some among the immortals thought helplessly.

If they didn't lack backing, if they weren't afraid of causing trouble, who would want to listen to your mad ramblings, Jade Emperor?

Later, they would still be ostracized by forces like Heavenly King Li and Taishang Laojun.

It's difficult, so difficult.

"My esteemed ministers, today I have invited all of you to witness a treasure."

"A treasure?"

The assembled immortals were taken aback.

With a wave of his hand, the Jade Emperor signaled for Taibai Jinxing and Star Lord Wugu to carry a large object into the Hall of Miraculous Mist.

It was covered with a red cloth.

"Let all my ministers feast their eyes," the Jade Emperor said with a smile.

Taibai Jinxing then lifted the red cloth.

"Ah?"

All the heavenly gods were stunned and shocked.

"Is that... a guillotine?"

"Why has such an inauspicious object been brought into the Hall of Miraculous Mist?"

"Exactly, what kind of treasure is this guillotine? It looks like an ordinary immortal artifact to me. Not to mention a post-celestial spirit treasure or a pre-celestial spirit treasure."

The heavenly gods began to murmur amongst themselves.

Some heavenly gods felt a chill down their spines and remained silent.

This was not something they, without any influence or backing, could discuss.

Something major was about to happen.

Indeed.

"Summon Taishang Laojun to the hall."

The Jade Emperor's imposing presence radiated, his imperial aura surging, and the immortals immediately fell silent.

"Summon Taishang Laojun to the hall!"

Taibai Jinxing shouted loudly, his voice like a great bell, echoing throughout the Heavenly Court.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing heard this.

The gods of the Interception Teachings in the Heavenly Court heard this.

The great powers of the Primordial Era observing from the shadows also heard this.

Of course, Taishang Laojun heard it too.

In Wuzhuang Temple, Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself with a strange expression, "This Jade Emperor truly shows no respect to Lao Jun. Summoning him, ordering him to enter the hall? He's completely trampled on Taishang Laojun's status. You must know that the Heavenly Court was just pieced together; everyone here is a feudal lord, a king."

"A mere child, and he truly thinks of himself as something important? Summoning me to the hall?"

Taishang Laojun chuckled, "I'll just sit here and watch how you resolve this."

The Heavenly Court.

Inside the Hall of Miraculous Mist, the heavenly gods waited for a long time, but Taishang Laojun still did not appear.

Of course, he wouldn't come.

The Jade Emperor stood up, his face stern. "Taishang Laojun, for defying the imperial decree and committing insubordination, according to the heavenly laws, he shall be executed!"

The heavenly gods in the Heavenly Court were in an uproar, their faces changing drastically.

What? What? The Jade Emperor was actually going to execute Taishang Laojun?

"Pfft!" In Wuzhuang Temple, Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Execute Taishang Laojun? Hahahaha!" Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi burst into laughter. "Someone actually wants to execute Taishang Laojun? This is hilarious. Can a saint's clone be killed?"

Guanyin of the South Sea also looked towards the Heavenly Court with a peculiar expression.

Tathagata, seated majestically on his throne, with a solemn expression, gently closed his eyes as if dozing. However, his mind was racing.

The Journey to the West Tribulation was shifting in an unpredictable direction.

A variable, this is a major variable.

And the heavenly secrets were impossible to divine, shrouded in mist, completely unclear.

Could a saint be secretly disrupting the heavenly secrets?

Jade Emperor, oh Jade Emperor, I'd like to see what you're relying on.

Not only are you obstructing my Journey to the West, but you're also provoking conflict in the Primordial Era.

And now, you even want to execute Taishang Laojun?

I'm afraid it will be you, this Jade Emperor brat, who will get spanked!
