Faced with Zhang Yifan's barrage of questions, Tongtian, the Jade Emperor, and Yang Jian pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with representative figures.
"What, can't think of any?"
Zhang Yifan chuckled, "The end of the universe is filled with official positions. Though the disciples of the Jie Teachings are on the Investiture of the Gods List and their primordial spirits reside within the Heavenly Dao, bound and unable to advance their cultivation, it doesn't mean they can't advance. Besides, they have the official background and status of the Orthodox of the Three Realms."
"They are celestial gods, heavenly officials. If any demons or rogue cultivators dare to attack them, they're essentially declaring war on the Heavenly Court. They have a more comfortable and peaceful environment, no longer needing to worry about being ambushed from behind. They don't have to fight; they just need to cultivate peacefully and fulfill their divine duties. What's so bad about that?"
"You might say that the first and second-generation disciples had great talent, but it's a shame. You might say that cultivators defy the heavens, seeking to break free from the Three Realms and not be bound by the Heavenly Dao. Don't be ridiculous. In this Primordial Era, can anyone truly break free from the Three Realms? Aren't the Saints themselves under the Heavenly Dao? Isn't Hongjun within the Heavenly Dao?"
"Are any of the Jie Teachings' first and second-generation disciples stronger than Tongtian? Stronger than Hongjun? And they still dream of escaping the Heavenly Dao's control?"
"Fools dreaming!"
"These people are ungrateful for the blessings they have."
Sect Master Tongtian, the Jade Emperor, and Yang Jian were utterly shocked by this series of earth-shattering words.
"It makes a lot of sense!" the Jade Emperor concluded after his shock subsided.
For ordinary cultivators, being ranked among the immortals was already a great aspiration!
Let alone being a righteous god in the Heavenly Court; that was completely out of the question!
"Exactly. Furthermore, if the Primordial Era advances, then these righteous gods of the Heavenly Court will each be capable of stepping on Heavenly Dao Saints. And you still think you're miserable? In the future, you'll probably wake up smiling from your dreams."
???
???
Tongtian was greatly alarmed, as if he had heard some earth-shattering news!
The Primordial Era advancing?
Righteous gods of the Heavenly Court capable of stepping on Heavenly Dao Saints?
Are there such powerful righteous gods in the Heavenly Court?
Are there?
"Grandfather, the Primordial Era advancing? Can the Primordial Era advance?" Sect Master Tongtian couldn't help but ask immediately.
Such crucial information had to be seized!
"Of course. As for how to do it specifically, ask your uncle," Zhang Yifan nodded, pointing at the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor smiled meaningfully.
This father was too amazing!
By keeping such a major event a secret and letting him reveal it, Tongtian would be completely under his control.
"Uncle, please tell me," Tongtian asked, gritting his teeth, looking at the Jade Emperor.
"Why do you, a little brat, need to know so much? The more you know, the more dangerous it is, understand? If such a major matter were to leak, you'd be tortured severely, and the consequences would be dire, understand?"
Sect Master Tongtian's face turned dark.
"Uncle not telling you is for your own good," the Jade Emperor ignored Tongtian's dark expression.
Tongtian was helpless, knowing that he couldn't get anything without paying a price.
Suddenly, Tongtian remembered something.
"Grandfather, you just mentioned that the separation of the Three Pure Ones made the reincarnation of Pangu's true body difficult. Is this Great God Pangu not dead yet? Can he reincarnate again?"
Tongtian's inquiry immediately made the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian vigilant.
The Primordial Era World was opened by Pangu. If Pangu could descend, what place would there be for the Jade Emperor or Hongjun?
"He could before, but not now," Zhang Yifan shook his head.
"Why?" Sect Master Tongtian immediately pressed.
"During the Witch-Demon Calamity, the Witch tribe was annihilated. The possibility of Pangu's physical body descending was already cut off by Hongjun."
"??? Dao Ancestor Hongjun?" Sect Master Tongtian's eyes widened.
The Witch-Demon Calamity, and this hidden secret?
The Witch tribe, formed from Pangu's physical body, thus carried the possibility of Pangu's physical body reincarnating?
What a pity! How hateful!
The Father God was schemed against like this!
"Grandfather, is there still a possibility of Pangu's primordial spirit reincarnating now?"
Yang Jian hit the nail on the head.
Boom!
Sect Master Tongtian's heart trembled.
That's right, they only talked about the possibility of the physical body reincarnating being gone, not the primordial spirit reincarnating.
"That's right. If the Three Pure Ones unite, Pangu's primordial spirit phantom can reincarnate," Zhang Yifan nodded.
Hiss!
The Jade Emperor gasped!
There's such a thing!
Pangu could actually return his primordial spirit!
"If he descends, will Dao Ancestor Hongjun allow it?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"It's impossible for him to allow it, and neither will the Heavenly Dao," Zhang Yifan shook his head. "But for the Primordial Era to advance, he must return. It can't be done without him."
Oh, this!
The Jade Emperor was helpless. He originally thought that as long as he gathered 108 Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortals, killed Hongjun, and activated the advancement formation, it would be enough.
Turns out Pangu's primordial spirit also needs to return.
"Then, if the Primordial Era advances, will the Jade Emperor still be the Heavenly Emperor? Won't Pangu snatch it?" the Jade Emperor said with a wry smile.
"What are you thinking? Even if Pangu's primordial spirit returns, he'll just be writing a sacrificial text. He only has his primordial spirit. After the advancement, he won't be able to stay. At most, he'll be thrown back into chaos, turn back into an egg, and wait to open up another world in the future."
"That's good then!" the Jade Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he doesn't come to snatch it, he has nothing to worry about.
No, even if he did try to snatch it, could he win!
By then, I'll have 108 people at the Grand Perfection realm under my command, and the power of the Primordial Era World. How could he snatch it?
Not to mention, there's also this father figure!
"Pangu can return again?"
Tongtian was already in tears.
He didn't have as many thoughts as the Jade Emperor. He just wanted to see his father god, and that was enough.
"Alright. I'm going to take a nap. You guys chat. I'll put the tea in the living room later." Zhang Yifan yawned and got up to leave.
"Grandfather, tell us more about the secrets of the Primordial Era Calamities," Yang Jian grabbed Zhang Yifan, wanting to learn more secrets.
"The Primordial Era Calamities are a long story. I'll tell you slowly later."
Afternoon.
The Jade Emperor and the other two left with the Enlightenment Tea. Yang Jian also left some cultivation manuals.
Above the Nine Heavens auspicious clouds.
"Nephew, do you want to come to the Heavenly Court with your uncle for a bit?"
"Scram!" Tongtian said irritably.
"Hahahaha, my nephew is quite cute when he's angry, hahahaha." The Jade Emperor laughed and left.
"Brother Tong, come visit Meishan when you have time!" Yang Jian also said with a grin and followed the Jade Emperor.
This is outrageous!
Sect Master Tongtian gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything to the two of them.
"Regardless. Today's gains are substantial. I know the Jade Emperor's trump card, and I also know the future possibilities of the Primordial Era World."
"I also know that my disciples and grandchildren on the Investiture of the Gods List were not a bad thing after all."
The knots in my heart have been untied.
Sect Master Tongtian let out a long breath. The long-sealed Saint's state of mind, the fallen Saint cultivation has returned.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Mid-Saint realm!
"I, Tongtian, am back!"
Rumble!
The sky let out a loud noise, as if responding to Tongtian's words.
"It's time to go back and take a look." Sect Master Tongtian glanced in the direction of Golden Ao Island and disappeared.
On the other side.
On the way to the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian looked at the Jade Emperor several times, seeming to have something to say.
"If you have something to say, spit it out," the Jade Emperor said to himself.
"Uncle, so many gods have left the Heavenly Court. Do you think my brothers in Meishan could..."
Yang Jian's meaning was very clear: he wanted to secure official positions for his brothers in Meishan.
"Alright, will I treat you unfairly?" the Jade Emperor said with a smile, "You finish your important business first. Then, take your brothers to build a house for your grandfather. My father's few rooms won't be enough for so many of your sisters."
"Yes, Uncle!" Yang Jian was overjoyed!
With this promise, he could finally relax.
His brothers in Meishan had suffered with him for so long. Now, they could finally walk with their heads held high!
After that, Yang Jian rushed to Meishan, wanting his brothers to experience the power of the Enlightenment Tea.
He didn't even need to imagine the scene; Yang Jian's lips curved into a smile.
