Among the Yuxu Palace, Divine Sense from Primordial Heavenly Venerate clearly "captured" Haotian's instant burst of hatred and subsequent forbearance.

The corner of his mouth moved slightly, which seemed to be mocking, but also seemed not to care.

Hunyuan Sage and non-sage are like a chasm.

The resentment of the ants, even if it rages in the sky, how can it harm the gods in the clouds at all?

Primordial Heavenly Venerate Not even a single explanation or comfort was given.

In His eyes, calling Haotian back in advance and leaving its Dao fruit incomplete was nothing more than correcting the "Destiny" and maintaining the "order" under the control of the Saint.

The return of Haotian just in time to clean up the mess of Heavenly Court, and at the same time permanently cut off any possibility that he might threaten the Saint in the future.

As for Haotian's hatred? It's just the incompetent whine of a loser, not worth a peep.

This is the absolute mentality of the sage who regards all things as stupid dogs.

The figures of Haotian and Yaochi stepped out of the reincarnation passage and returned to Heavenly Court.

Lingxiao Treasure Hall's brilliance is flowing, and it seems to be welcoming the old master.

However, the slightly frivolous aura due to the incomplete Dao Fruit made the Primordial World experts who sensed this matter have different thoughts.

Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the star map, with his fingertips Karma Thread beating violently, clearly reflecting the thrilling scene at the entrance to reincarnation.

"Martial Uncle Yuanshi... Good trick."

Lu Yuan whispered to himself, with deep eyes.

Haotian returned early, with incomplete Dao Fruit. Although his foundation was unstable, he was still a semi-saint.

This subtle change made Heavenly Court's pattern instantly complicated.

As Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, my status is already lower than Heavenly Emperor. Now I am facing a semi-saint Heavenly Emperor who is resentful towards Three Teachings. The road ahead...

Looking up at the deep sea of stars, Lu Yuan felt a hint of depression about the impending rain.

Biyou Palace.

Seeing the return of Haotian, Sect Master Tongtian sneered, "Brother Yuanshi, you are still so 'taking into account the overall situation'!

Haotian This son has a deep heart. With his Daoist fruit being destroyed and his hatred lingering, I fear that he and Chan Sect will never have peace."

In His opinion, Primordial Heavenly Venerate is too controlling, and Haotian reincarnation 129,600 Calamities is a part of the execution of the way of heaven.

Yuanshi interfered with the execution of Heaven's Law and forced Haotian to return early. Although the Heaven's Law was incomplete, it also made the world look at him.

Haotian Even if the Dao fruit is perfect and Half-Saint Dao Achiever is enlightened, and he has the capital to face the saint directly, he will still be at a disadvantage when facing Hunyuan Sage.

In this case, why bother to intervene, lose Pangu Sanqing's face, and make the saint lose face?

Wa Huang Palace.

Empress Nuwa sighed softly, Qi of Creation circulated, with a trace of pity and helplessness on his face.

Haotian is Primordial World Heavenly Emperor, which can be regarded as the top Great Divine Ability User in the world, with the Purple Sky Palace background behind him.

But in the hands of Primordial Heavenly Venerate, he is still not free and can be manipulated like a chess piece.

What happened to Haotian made her feel again the power of Primordial Heavenly Venerate as Pangu's Primordial Spirit.

Pangu's Primordial Spirit three points, Taishang Moral Heavenly Venerate, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Shangqing Lingbao Heavenly Venerate, come from the same source.

Pangu Sanqing are all saints Mysterious Gate and disciples of the Purple Sky Palace.

Even though he is a saint who created humans, facing Pangu Sanqing, he still has a thorn in his back!

Western Mount Sumeru.

On top of Mount Sumeru, beside Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and between Seven Treasures Forest, the golden light of silence and the wisdom light of Bodhi complement each other.

Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti sit on the lotus platform together. Haotian returned early and is clearly reflected in their sacred hearts.

Daoist Jieyin On the eternally sad face, the wrinkles seemed to be a little deeper.

Looking at Haotian's half-saint aura that seemed grand but actually had a frivolous foundation when it returned to its position, he slowly closed his eyes.

A long and deep sigh echoed in the silent lotus pond.

"Amitabha Buddha...Tribulation is even more angry."

In Saint Jieyin's perception, Haotian was forced to return to his position, which was far from a simple transfer of power to Heavenly Court.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's arrogant talisman edict not only shattered Haotian's chance of perfecting the Dao Fruit.

It even hit the precision compass executed by Hongjun Tiandao with a heavy hammer.

The hatred of Haotian is as blazing as hell, but it can only be hidden deep in the deepest part of the Tao heart. The combination of this Heavenly Resentment and the incomplete Tao fruit is itself a strong source of ominous calamity.

Not to mention, when Haotian returns this time, he faces Heavenly Court, who is managed by Immortal Elder Nanji.

Heavenly Court is controlled by the Chan Sect and Interception Sect immortals. Haotian returns with hatred, and the two sides are naturally at odds.

Heavenly Court The whirlpool of power struggle has already formed.

Once this conflict breaks out, it will surely stir up Three Realms and Six Paths, pull Karmic Cause and Effect immeasurably, and make Great Desolation World's calamity clouds thicker and the hostility even deeper.

What Jieyin is worried about is that this chain reaction will have a huge impact on the balance of the entire world and the disaster is unpredictable.

Unlike Jieyin who was worried, Zhunti's eyes were as bright as lightning and there was a hint of joy on his face.

His eyes penetrated the barriers of time and space and were firmly locked on the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, falling on Haotian who had just returned to his position.

The fingertips twisted Bodhi Prayer Beads a little faster, but deep in the eyes shone with a sharp light that captured opportunities.

"Excellent! Haotian and Primordial Heavenly Venerate, this rift has become a reality. It's not a grudge, it's a deep enmity due to their blocked paths!

Heavenly Court The struggle for authority has been troublesome since then!"

What Zhunti Daoist saw was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity hidden in the crisis.

Haotian's resentment towards Primordial Heavenly Venerate is irreconcilable.

The struggle for Heavenly Court power will inevitably lead to instability in the Heavenly Court center, and the control over Three Realms and Six Paths will inevitably be greatly weakened.

Great Desolation World Loose order and chaos are a foregone conclusion.

This kind of chaos and power vacuum is exactly the opportunity for "spread eastward" that Western Teachings dreams of!

"Heavenly Court is unstable, and there will be gaps in Mysterious Gate Three Teachings's control over Eastern Land.

If Haotian wants to secure the throne and regain its authority, it is absolutely impossible to rely on its own team alone. It must seek external support to check and balance the power of the Chan Sect...

And I, Western Teachings Buddhist Sect, may be able to 'help' him?"

Zhunti's mind is spinning and he has already started planning.

If we can take advantage of the internal strife in Heavenly Court and the intensification of internal conflicts in Mysterious Gate, we can use the help of Haotian to infiltrate Western Teachings's influence into Heavenly Court.

Even using this as a springboard to spread Buddha Dharma to the Human Race region, isn't it a key step to break the Mysterious Gate Three Teachings iron curtain and realize the great success of the Buddhist Sect?

Although this move is risky, the benefits are huge and it is worth pursuing with all your strength.

Zhunti is already thinking about how to choose the right time to "take advantage of the opportunity" in the name of "compassion Saving the World".

In the place where Fire Cloud Cave and Human Dao Destiny gather, in the rays of light and mist, the aura of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors seems extremely solemn, as if shrouded in an invisible haze.

Haotian was forced to return to his position early, and the news that the Dao Fruit was destroyed came, and the brilliant purple energy that symbolized Human Race Sage Emperor's will showed long-term and suppressed fluctuations.

Fuxi A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and the Eight Diagrams shadow slowly circulated in front of him, deducing the secret, and finally turned into an almost inaudible sigh.

What He saw was not only the turmoil of Heavenly Court, but also the shadow of the deep-rooted "Controversy between Saints" beneath this turmoil.

Haotian wants to use the tribulations of reincarnation to accumulate strength and achieve the realm of Half-Saint Dao Achiever. This is a glimmer of hope to escape from the chessboard.

However, this hope was ruthlessly killed at the last step by Primordial Heavenly Venerate in the name of "destiny" and "order". This

It clearly shows an iron law of Primordial World. Those who are not Hunyuan Sage are ultimately chess pieces.

Even Heavenly Emperor, who nominally rules Three Realms, can be manipulated at will in the face of the saint's will.

"A single thought from the Sacred Heart can turn heaven and earth upside down. Haotian If this is the case, let alone the ordinary world?"

Fuxi thought silently in his heart, feeling even more worried.

He seemed to see that as the Heavenly Court disputes intensified and the intensity of the game between saints increased, the Tribulation shadow that had already shrouded Primordial World was sweeping in with an even more ferocious momentum.

And Human Race, as the protagonist of the world and destined by fate, will surely bear the brunt and become the victim of the saint's game.

Pan Geng Yin Shang Imperial Dynasty, which has only just recovered after going through hardships, how long can its hard-won stability be maintained in the face of such a catastrophe?

Sage Emperor Shennong The herb symbolizing vitality and healing seemed to have lost some of its luster at this moment.

Looking through the sky, Sage Emperor Shennong saw the ignorant and hard-working ordinary people on the Primordial World Human Race.

"When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer."

The Heavenly Court shock caused by the return of Haotian means that the control of the lower realm will be greatly weakened.

If order is relaxed, evildoers will breed.

If the power of Heaven is not manifest, evil spirits will run rampant.

Those common people who have just gained a short period of peace under Master Pan Geng's "breaking down mountains and cutting down temples" may soon face new disasters.

What worries him even more is that once the conflicts between saints are further intensified due to the Heavenly Court incident, Tribulation officially breaks out, and the power that destroys the world pours out. How insignificant are mortals?

The collapse of the Xia Hou Clan Sage Dynasty Dao Lineage, the ruin of the Shang Dynasty Nine Generations of Chaos's lives, and the bloody lessons are still before our eyes.

Shennong's heart was filled with compassion and powerlessness for the suffering that innocent people were about to suffer.

Sage Emperor Xuanyuan pressed his hand on Xuanyuan Sword Hilt's waist, his knuckles turned slightly white, and a sharp fighting spirit flashed away, then turned into a deeper condensation.

He can best understand Haotian's overwhelming hatred and humiliation when his path was forcibly interrupted and his efforts fell short.

Just like when I faced Chi You, I was suppressed and depressed.

However, reality is as cold as iron.

Although Fire Cloud Cave Sage Emperor is enshrined by Human Race's luck and has a respected status, he is essentially still greatly restricted by the power of Heavenly Dao Rules and the saint.

"Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors must not move unless it is Tribulation!"

This iron law also binds them.

Even though he knew that Tribulation was approaching, Fire Cloud Cave could not directly intervene despite all the indignation.

This deep sense of powerlessness made Xuanyuan feel even more depressed.

Thirty-Three Heavens, Heavenly Court.

Lingxiao Treasure Hall is filled with immortal light and thousands of auspicious auras.

Above the dome, Zhou Tian Xing Dou slowly circulates, casting a majestic and cold light.

The ground paved with white jade was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the figures of General Immortal Official standing solemnly on both sides. They held their breath and concentrated, and their armor and weapons reflected a cold glow in the fairy light.

The entire hall was immersed in an almost solid solemnity and heaviness, as if the air was stagnant.

The figures of Haotian and Yaochi stepped into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Great Emperor Changsheng of the Southern Palace Immortal Elder Nanji led Heavenly Court to greet the immortals respectfully, but everyone could feel the invisible pressure on Haotian.

Haotian was sitting on the imperial throne, his eyes sweeping below. His eyes were terrifyingly calm, as if they contained eternal ice.

Sitting upright, Tianshu and Haotian have impeccable postures, just like the ancient sacred mountains.

However, the aura that was slightly frivolous due to the incompleteness of the Dao Fruit was like ripples on the water's surface and was clearly discernible in the perception of the top powerful person in the palace.

The knuckles of his fingers turned slightly white, revealing that Haotian's heart was by no means as peaceful as it appeared.

The monstrous hatred that was blocked in its path was forcibly compressed to the extreme at this moment, turning into a frozen volcano, hidden under the seemingly deep and waveless eyes.

Yaochi Golden Mother is sitting next to her, elegant and elegant, but there is also a trace of lingering worry and solemnity deep in her eyes.

The worship has been completed, Immortal Music takes a break.

"Brother Chen, Great Emperor Changsheng of the Southern Palace..."

A calm and gentle voice broke the silence.

Wearing a blue and purple emperor's robe and holding Jade Ruyi, Immortal Elder Nanji slowly stepped forward from the top of the Immortal Class, bowed deeply to the emperor's throne, his posture was respectful, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Congratulations to the great Heavenly Venerate for his successful tribulation and return to Heavenly Court.

My younger brother, Yuxu Talisman, temporarily takes over the general duties of Heavenly Court. He works hard day and night without daring to slack off in the slightest.

Today, the great Heavenly Venerate has returned. Fortunately, my brother has fulfilled his destiny. Heavenly Court Everything is running as normal. This is the blessing of heaven and the virtue of a saint.

I now return all the seals and files of Heavenly Court, and ask the great Heavenly Venerate to personally hold Heaven and Earth and revive the power of Heaven!"

Immortal Elder Nanji's words are watertight, which not only expresses his merits, but also points out "Feng Yuxu Talisman".

He also attributed the credit to "the blessing of heaven" and "the virtue of saints".

Immortal Elder Nanji held the seal and the thick file that symbolized Heavenly Emperor's authority in both hands, holding it high above his head with a humble posture.

However, the emphatically mentioned "Yuxu Talisman" and "the virtue of a saint" were like an invisible thorn piercing Haotian's unhealed Daoist wound.

Haotian was silent for a moment, examining the 'Six Imperials Heavenly Emperor' who was personally supported by Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

Behind the bead curtain, Haotian's eyes were like solid ice, slowly sweeping over Immortal Elder Nanji's respectful figure, and finally landed on the seal.

"Nanjixian, Emperor brother... take charge of Heavenly Court, thank you for your hard work."

Haotian's voice sounded, low and penetrating. Every word carried a huge weight and struck the hearts of all the gods in the temple.

The word "Dai Zhang" was spoken very clearly, and the plain tone contained an unquestionable denial.

Immortal Elder Nanji is just the "acting master", Heavenly Court's owner will always be Haotian.

Slowly raising his hand, an invisible force lifted the seal and file in Immortal Elder Nanji's hand and flew steadily to Haotian's hand.

"Now that I have returned to my position, Heavenly Court everything should be taken care of by me personally.

Nanjixian The emperor's brother has worked hard and achieved great results. He can retire to Nanjixian Heavenly Palace and enjoy eternal life and happiness.

Heavenly Court order, I will be the one to 'correct' it."

Haotian's words were still calm, but the last sentence of "correction" had a hint of indescribable edge.

The seal was cold and heavy in hand, and a long-lost sense of strength surged into Haotian's heart.

Immortal Elder Nanji's body paused imperceptibly, then returned to normal, and bowed again. "In compliance with the decree of the Great Heavenly Venerate, I, my brother, retire."

Immortal Elder Nanji returned to his original position with a normal expression and stood with his hands down, as if the subtle confrontation just now had never happened.

But those with advanced cultivation levels in the palace could feel the stagnation of Immortal Elder Nanji's whole body's aura at that moment.

At this moment, a clear and steady voice sounded, with the rhythm of stars.

"Brother Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, congratulations to the great Heavenly Venerate for returning from a calamity and returning to the hands of Heavenly Court!"

Lu Yuan walked out of the immortal class on the other side, wearing Ziwei Emperor Robe. The star map on the robe was flowing, as deep as the night sky.

Bow slightly towards Haotian, with smooth and natural movements, showing the magnanimity and calmness of the top Great Divine Ability User.

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked calmly at the blurry face of Haotian behind the bead curtain.

Lu Yuan The eyes are deep, as if they contain endless galaxies, and they seem to be able to see through all the fog. Karmic Cause and Effect

He could clearly "see" the Karma Thread around Haotian that was slightly disordered due to the incomplete Tao Fruit.

And the resentment that was forcibly suppressed but still burning like a dark fire in the abyss, its source pointed directly in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

"Great Heavenly Venerate has gone through countless calamities and his Daoist heart has become stronger. His return this time is really Heavenly Court's luck and Three Realms's luck."

Lu Yuan's voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in the hall, carrying a strange soothing meaning.

"Heavenly Court has been on the throne for a long time. Although Emperor Nanjixian is temporarily taking over, it is not a long-term strategy.

When the great Heavenly Venerate returns to its position, just like Beichen returns to its position, and the stars naturally guard it, Heavenly Court can return to the Qingming Dynasty, and Three Realms and Six Paths can only have Sea Calming Divine Needle."

Lu Yuan's words not only implicitly comforted Haotian, but also pointed out the temporary nature of Immortal Elder Nanji's "temporary photography".

Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was about to arrive, and He did not want Heavenly Court to fall into a fight at this time, so He comforted Haotian in a subtle way.

Otherwise, the internal fighting between Heavenly Court will only force Haotian to side with Jieyin and Zhunti, allowing Western Teachings to benefit!

Furthermore, Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is coming, and the relationship between the Interception Sect and Chan Sect may break up in this Tribulation.

Lu Yuan naturally won't do it either. Follow Chan Sect to force Haotian and leave some favor, which may be beneficial to the future.

Thinking of Investiture of the Gods Tribulation and Lu Yuan, I have to think deeply.

Sure enough, Haotian's icy pupils seemed to loosen slightly when they heard "Beichen returns to his position, and the stars guard him".

He tilted his head slightly, the beaded curtain swayed slightly, and his eyes focused on Lu Yuan.

'Qingxuanzi' Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, who was born in the Interception Sect, gave him a completely different feeling from Immortal Elder Nanji.

Nanjixian is a direct extension of the will of the saint Yuanshi, and Lu Yuan...

Although he is the direct disciple of Sect Master Tongtian, his stance seems to be more independent and harder to guess.

Haotian can feel the sincere congratulations in Lu Yuan's words, but deeper, there seems to be a subtle sense of distance.

The phrase "the Daoist heart is strong" is more like a temptation.

"Brother Ziwei is interested."

Haotian's voice is still deep, but compared to when facing Immortal Elder Nanji, it is a little less chilly and a little more relaxed.

"Ziwei of the North Pole controls the latitude and longitude of the sky and the earth, controls the stars for eternity, and holds a high and powerful position.

When I return for the first time, Heavenly Court is full of waste and needs to be restored, and the order must be restored. It is still necessary for the emperor's younger brother to fulfill his duties, guard the Tianque, and help me sort out the order of this Zhou Tian Xing Dou."

These words are both encouragement and reminder, and they are also a kind of implicit solicitation.

Haotian mentioned "sorting out the order of the stars" together with his own "restoring the order of Heavenly Court", implying that he hoped that Lu Yuan would stand on his side and jointly face the current situation of Heavenly Court dominated by the Chan Sect forces.

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged and he bowed again. "Your Majesty's decree, I will take it to heart.

My younger brother Received the Mandate of Heaven, who is in charge of the North Pole Ziwei Enclosure, should take it as his own responsibility to sort out the order of the world and never dare to slack off at all.

If your Majesty has an assignment, I must do my best."

Lu Yuan's answer was still watertight and he promised to maintain the order of Heavenly Court, but he did not directly respond to Haotian's implicit intention of "taking sides".

After a pause, Lu Yuan's gaze seemed to penetrate the dome of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, looking into the depths of the vast sea of stars.

"Although there are many star paths in the sky, the galaxies are vast, and it is normal for there to be occasional ripples.

I only hope that your Majesty's heart will be clear and the power of heaven will be mighty, so that the stars in the sky, even if there is dust and mist, can't hide their radiant origins, and they will eventually be in their own place and perform their duties."

Lu Yuan These words mean a lot.

It implies that Heavenly Court's current "floating dust and fog" is just a temporary "slight wave". The key lies in whether Haotian can "show the emperor's heart".

As long as Heavenly Emperor shows the "mighty power of heaven", then even if Heavenly Court is a little confused now, eventually the "constellations in the sky" will all settle down and perform their duties.

Lu Yuan's words are like pebbles thrown into a frozen lake, causing tiny ripples in Haotian's dead lake of heart.

"The emperor's heart is clear and the power of heaven is mighty"...

These eight words are like ridicule and encouragement.

With his Dao Fruit incomplete, how mighty is His "Heaven's Power" at this moment?

How can the "floating dust and fog" be easily cleared away?

But he understood what Lu Yuan said. Heavenly Court's future would ultimately depend on him, Heavenly Emperor, to fight for it.

"What Emperor Ziwei said... is true."

Haotian nodded slightly, his voice deeper than before, as if it contained great power.

The gaze hidden by the bead curtain seemed to become more profound and unpredictable.

"The order of Heavenly Court, the position of the stars, I... have my own sense of proportion."

The last few words carry an unquestionable determination. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, this Heavenly Emperor position, this Heavenly Court power, He Haotian will never let go easily again.

He waved his hand, and with a Heavenly Emperor majesty in his movements, Haotian said slowly, "My lords, please step aside. I... am tired."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Led by Immortal Elder Nanji and Lu Yuan, all the immortals and gods in the hall bowed and saluted with loud voices.

The immortal squads exited one after another, and the figures of the immortals supported by Xiangyun slowly disappeared outside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

In the blink of an eye, the grand hall became empty and lonely.

Only Haotian and Yaochi were left sitting on the throne on the high platform.

Haotian still maintains a sitting posture, but the deliberately restrained pressure around him fades away like the tide when no one is around.

Revealing a hint of exhaustion and weakness that could not be concealed, the sense of emptiness caused by the incomplete Dao Fruit emerged in the empty hall.

Slowly raising his hand, Haotian looked at Heavenly Emperor Seal in the palm of his hand, which symbolized supreme power.

The seal is cold and the brilliance flows, but it cannot warm the coldness and emptiness in Haotian Tao's heart.

Yaochi gently held Haotian's hand, conveying silent concern and support.

Haotian did not look at her, his gaze penetrated the palace door and looked beyond the ethereal Thirty-Three Heavens in the direction of the Jade Pure Realm.

In the frozen eyes, there is hatred that burns the soul.

"The power of Heaven... is mighty?"

Haotian repeated Lu Yuan's words in a low voice, his voice as soft as a sigh, but with a bone-chilling chill and an almost desperate paranoia.

"What a 'Mighty God'!

Yuanshi... I want to see how long your 'god' can cover Primordial World!

Even if I am a semi-saint, even if my Dao Fruit is incomplete... I will definitely make a corner of your 'heaven' collapse!"

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the shadow under the Heavenly Emperor throne seems to be getting thicker.
