Haotian Descends to Mortal Realm for Tribulation
Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother Zi Guang were also helpless in dealing with Haotian's Heart Demon.
Their relationship with Haotian is not yet good enough to warrant consulting the Saint Huode on this matter.
Besides, Haotian is not without Sage teachers, so why go to the trouble of seeking one far away when it is so close?
Disappointment flashed in the eyes of Queen Mother Qing Yao.
Even Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother Zi Guang couldn't do anything, so the people of the Heavenly Court were truly powerless.
"Let's ask Hongjun Dao Ancestor for help! If we delay any longer, the Heavenly Emperor, eager to eliminate the demonic obstacles, may fall into the Devil Dao, and then it will be too late."
Seeing the hesitation on Qing Yao Queen Mother's face, Kong Xuan spoke up to persuade her.
The sooner you deal with your Heart Demon, the safer you'll be.
The current state of the Haotian Heavenly Emperor is like a time bomb, and it's anyone's guess when it will explode.
"Fellow Kong Xuan is right. It would be best to seek help from Hongjun Dao Ancestor in this matter."
"Sage Hongjun Dao Ancestor doesn't agree, even if we ask other Sage, they will avoid intervening to prevent suspicion."
The Holy Mother Zi Guang also spoke up to dissuade him, and it was the Saint Huode who learned of this matter.
They wouldn't overstep their bounds and intervene to help the Haotian Heavenly Emperor, even though it was through the intervention of the Hongjun Dao Ancestor.
Having failed to obtain the necessary advice from the two Quasi-Sage, Queen Mother Qing Yao reluctantly nodded and sighed.
"Well, that's all we can do. I hope the teacher won't be disappointed in us!"
This was exactly what Queen Mother Qing Yao was most worried about.
If they disappoint Ancestor Hongjun, their future path will be difficult.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian was once again facing a crisis of Heart Demon, a situation that had to be addressed.
Queen Mother Qing Yao had no choice but to bite the bullet and send a plea for help to Hongjun Dao Ancestor.
This was a matter between the master and disciple, so Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother Zi Guang naturally avoided the situation and left.
Not long after Queen Mother Qing Yao sought help from Hongjun Dao Ancestor Qing Yao, a ray of Spiritual Light suddenly appeared before Queen Mother.
Spiritual Light faded, the figure of Ancestor Hongjun, reappeared in the same spot.
"Disciple Qing Yao begs forgiveness from Master!"
Upon seeing the incarnation of Hongjun Dao Ancestor, Qing Yao immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"Foolish child, no need for such formalities! I already know everything about the affairs of Haotian."
This matter is not Haotian's fault. It's just that I was too hasty in urging you to cultivate, and you didn't get enough experience and tempering."
With a flick of his sleeve, Ancestor Hongjun helped Qing Yao up from a distance, preventing her from kneeling.
Qing Yao's current identity is the Queen Mother of the West Heavenly Empress Heavenly Court, the core of the Heavenly Court's Fortune.
Although the Heavenly Court's rank is currently lower than that of the Sage, it still represents the orthodoxy of Heaven and Earth.
Heaven and earth are not to be bowed and worshipped by gods and men; even Sage do not have this right.
Even if Ancestor Hongjun is Qing Yao's teacher, it is not appropriate for him to accept Qing Yao's kneeling.
Ancestor Hongjun merely accepted Qing Yao's cupped-hand salute before nodding with a smile.
"Let's go, take me to see how Haotian is doing."
Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and fate is unpredictable. This matter might actually be a good thing for Haotian."
When Haotian first encountered his Heart Demon and obstacles, Ancestor Hongjun already sensed it.
However, in order to temper Haotian, Ancestor Hongjun did not take the initiative to help.
With the protection of Haotian's own Foundation and the Heavenly Court's Fortune, he was not in danger of falling into the Devil Dao for the time being.
Qing Yao led her teacher, Ancestor Hongjun, to the depths of the Heavenly Court, to Haotian's secluded cultivation place.
Haotian's condition was indeed somewhat abnormal at this moment, with faint black energy appearing on his forehead.
This is due to a period of low Fortune and suppressed personal luck.
Ancestor Hongjun stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then had a plan in mind.
How the master and his three disciples discussed their conversation remains unknown to outsiders.
All I know is that several months later...
The Heavenly Emperor Haotian suddenly ordered that he and Queen Mother Qing Yao should go into seclusion to cultivate.
Time is unpredictable.
During her seclusion, the Heavenly Court was temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of the Southern Great Emperor Kong Xuan, with the Eastern Great Emperor Holy Mother Zi Guang assisting her.
Although there was a risk of being usurped by the two emperors, Haotian had no other choice but to do this.
He and Qing Yao were about to leave to undergo their tribulation, so the Heavenly Court had to leave someone to look after them.
Besides the couple, the Heavenly Court only had two Quasi-Sage left: Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother Zi Guang.
Only they are qualified to temporarily assume the duties of the Heavenly Emperor.
Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother Zi Guang were also very surprised, and they understood that this must be because Haotian had encountered his Heart Demon.
This incident secretly alarmed both of them, and Queen Mother Qing Yao even sought help from Ancestor Hongjun.
Even so, they couldn't easily help Haotian overcome his Heart Demon.
They also have to temporarily relinquish their authority in Heavenly Court and depart to undergo tribulation, indicating that this period will not be short.
This also allowed the two of them to witness the power of Heart Demon at the Quasi-Sage level.
The two exchanged a glance, already having made up their minds: when they had some free time, they would travel to the Hua Tian Immortal Realm.
They wish to seek a preventative measure or a way to resolve their Heart Demon from the Saint Huode.
Otherwise, neither of them would feel uneasy.
Even the Heavenly Emperor Haotian couldn't stop them, so they didn't think they could withstand their Heart Demon.
Not long after, the intersecting Fortune of the Emperor and Empress in the Heavenly Court vanished from the Heavenly Court.
Without the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress suppressing the Heavenly Court's Fortune, a large portion of the ocean of Fortune above the Heavenly Court, which radiated Nine-Colored Light, was immediately eroded.
It fell from Nine-Colored Fortune to Seven-Colored Fortune.
This was the result of Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother Zi Guang respectively holding the Seal of Authority of the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress.
This demonstrates the importance of the positions of the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress to the Heavenly Court.
As the Heavenly Court's Fortune declined, its Spiritual Light dimmed as well.
The immortals and gods surrounding Buzhou Mountain, witnessing this scene, began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Many people gloated at the misfortune befalling Heavenly Court.
Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother Zi Guang were also quite helpless, as the Heavenly Court now only had the two of them left to hold the fort.
Let alone expansion, just maintaining the dignity of the Heavenly Court would be considered a success.
The Heavenly Court suffered misfortune, its Fortune declined, and its Spiritual Light dissipated.
Even so, it couldn't escape the notice of the immortals and gods of the Primordial Wilderness.
"What? The Heavenly Court Emperor and Heavenly Empress have disappeared? How could they disappear? Aren't they the disciples of the Dao Ancestor?"
"This is true. The Heavenly Court's Fortune has declined significantly, how could it be false! I wonder what bad luck the Heavenly Court has encountered."
"A fellow Daoist skilled in divination has already deduced it. The Heavenly Emperor and Empress of the Heavenly Court Heavenly Empress encountered a great calamity and have already reincarnated to undergo tribulation."
"Reincarnation and tribulation? Being reborn?"
Most gods and immortals have no affection for the Heavenly Court, which is nominally above them.
Upon hearing that the Heavenly Court was in trouble, everyone beamed with joy and eagerly watched the spectacle.
However, after the news spread that the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress had both been reincarnated and were undergoing tribulations, many immortals and gods began to have wicked thoughts.
Whether it was an attempt to curry favor with the Heavenly Court Emperor or to prevent the Empress from undergoing her tribulation, thereby undermining the Heavenly Court's authority.
There are quite a few immortals and gods who harbor these two kinds of thoughts.
Unfortunately, the reincarnations of Haotian and Qing Yao were concealed by Ancestor Hongjun using his Sage Dharma Power.
No one could predict his whereabouts.
The Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Empress temporarily abdicated, causing a significant decline in the Heavenly Court's Fortune, which was the legitimate successor of Heaven and Earth.
The changes in the Clear and Turbid Qi of Heaven and Earth were also rippled.
The rate at which the pure air descended accelerated, while the upward rebound of the turbid air showed a more pronounced change.
Within the Hua Tian Immortal Realm, Luo Qing's eyes flashed with Azure Light; he had already located Haotian and Qing Yao's whereabouts, but he was quite speechless.
Ancestor Hongjun certainly knows how to pick a location.
