The Dragon Race Seeks to Submit

After returning to the Heavenly Court.

Haotian arrived at the Jade Pool Immortal Realm.

Seeing Haotian's return, the Jade Pool quickly spoke: "Your Majesty has returned."

As she spoke, the Jade Pool guided Haotian to his seat.

"Mm!

The matter of the Demon Race is being handled by Kunpeng.

As for the matter of elevating the Lost Souls, there's no need to continue at this point.

Imperial We has returned first."

Once Haotian was seated, the Jade Pool continued: "This time, we've thoroughly offended the Six Sages.

What arrangements does Your Majesty have next?"

Hearing the Jade Pool's question, Haotian fell into thought.

A moment later.

Haotian spoke: "In the Primordial World now, aside from the Four Seas, it can barely be said that everything has fallen under the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction.

Imperial We, as the Heavenly Emperor, finally has a bit of an emperor's bearing.

What we need to do next is find a way to stabilize the current situation.

First is the revision of the Heavenly Law, second is the training of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Then we must arrange personnel to strengthen control over the Primordial World.

Additionally, we need to find a way to bring the Four Seas under the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction.

As for our cultivation, let's wait and see.

With our current cultivation, the next step is to attain the Hunyuan Dao.

This matter is not so easy.

As for these five tasks, the first three can be done step by step.

The fourth probably won't be too difficult either.

When the opportunity arises, we can take down the Dragon Race in one go.

Only the fifth task is somewhat distant.

It's been a Measure Calamity's time, and among those who listened to the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Aside from the Six Sages, not a single other person has attained the Dao.

I wonder where the problem lies."

Hearing this, the Jade Pool immediately began to think.

After a short while.

The Jade Pool replied: "From this perspective, the only thing we can scheme for next is the East Sea Dragon Race.

Does Your Majesty have any good plans for this?"

The Jade Pool didn't mention the fifth matter, knowing that attaining the Hunyuan Dao wasn't something that could be achieved by determination alone.

Since the Jade Pool didn't bring it up, Haotian naturally wouldn't either.

The Ten Thousandfold Amplification innate divine ability could be used.

But it couldn't be spoken aloud.

Haotian and the Jade Pool were discussing how to scheme against the Dragon Race.

And at this moment, deep in the East Sea.

The Four Dragon Kings had gathered together in the cave where the Candle Dragon had retired.

After a long silence, Ao Guang spoke: "Old Ancestor!

How should we respond?

That Haotian has already subdued the Demon Race, and even the Sages have compromised with him.

Moreover, he's proclaimed the slogan, 'All under heaven is the king's land; all on the shores are the king's subjects.'

This shows he's another figure like Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

With his ambition, I'm afraid he won't sit idly by while our Dragon Race holds the Four Seas."

As Ao Guang's words fell, the other three Dragon Kings all looked at the Candle Dragon.

Waiting for this Dragon Race Old Ancestor to make a decision.

And at this moment, the Candle Dragon, upon hearing the names of Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, felt his heartbeat skip a beat.

Back then, the Demon Race and the Dragon Race had fought a battle that decided the situation of the Four Seas and the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.

The Candle Dragon still vividly remembered the brutality of that battle.

The blazing Sun True Fire caused millions of li of the East Sea to boil over completely.

The aquatic races suffered casualties numbering in the trillions.

If not for the great formation protecting the East Sea Dragon Palace, what East Sea Dragon Race would still exist now?

Of course.

This wasn't entirely the formation's merit either.

The East Sea Dragon Race could remain only thanks to him, Candle Dragon, losing so quickly.

Had he lost even a few moments slower in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hands, Dijun's Sun True Fire would have already shattered the formation.

It was only out of consideration for Ancestor Dragon, who had transformed into the Eastern Azure Dragon, that Candle Dragon wasn't taken to the Heavenly Court to be ordered around like Kunpeng.

The current Haotian's actions could be said to be even more arrogant than Dijun and Taiyi's.

After all, no matter how wild those two were, they only targeted cultivators below the Saint realm.

In front of Saints, those two didn't dare to bristle.

But Haotian?

He was someone who dared to stand toe-to-toe with Saints.

The key point was that in the end, he still achieved his goal.

Never mind whether Haotian borrowed the momentum of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The result was that his goal was accomplished.

Moreover, he, Candle Dragon, was not a Saint.

If Haotian came to mess with him, he wouldn't need to borrow any momentum either.

That guy's lesson to Kunpeng was far too terrifying.

Kunpeng, also a Quasi-Saint, was easily restrained under Haotian's Law Domain.

Can you believe it?

If he were to face Haotian, what could he even use to fight?

Can't win!

Absolutely can't win!

After weighing the pros and cons, Candle Dragon found yet another opponent he couldn't overcome.

And this Haotian wasn't just someone he couldn't beat alone.

Under the Law Domain, no other members of the Dragon Race would fare well either.

After all, once the Law was deployed, Haotian could make the Dragon Race surrender with just a word.

Terrifying!

Utterly terrifying!

Fighting was out of the question.

Only negotiation remained!

After a moment of deliberation, Candle Dragon slowly spoke: "Our Dragon Race occupies the Four Seas, yet we have no Saint backing us.

To all the various powers, this undoubtedly makes us fat meat in the pot—anyone wants to reach in with chopsticks and take a piece.

First it was Dijun and Taiyi, now it's Haotian as well.

We have no grounds to refuse.

Ao Guang!"

"Your junior is here!"

"In a while, you will go and negotiate with Haotian about the Dragon Race's submission.

Having endured two calamities, our Dragon Race can no longer withstand upheaval."

"Your junior accepts the order!"

"Alright!

Everyone, disperse!"

At this moment in the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi had already finished their discussion.

Returning to Taiwei Palace, Haotian began pondering how to resolve the Karma of the Primordial World.

Relying on him, Haotian, to undergo tribulation?

That was indeed unavoidable.

But now, all the Sages itched with fury toward Haotian.

If any Sage were to make a move during his tribulation, Haotian would be in for a world of trouble.

Thus, finding a suitable place to undergo his tribulation was of utmost importance.

From time to time, he could toss beings burdened with heavy Karma into that place.

When the time came, he would resolve part of the Karma during his tribulation, and let them resolve the rest themselves.

In this way, the Karma of the Primordial World could be well controlled.

But where could such a place be found?

The current Primordial World was certainly unsuitable.

The Sages had their hands in everything; there was simply no way to avoid them.

What about going into Chaos and asking the Dao Ancestor to create a small world?

That probably wouldn't work either.

The Six Sages would surely follow along.

What to do?

After pondering for a moment, Haotian suddenly had an idea.

Since he couldn't create a small world externally, why not refine one himself?

A small world existing in the form of a spiritual treasure would naturally escape the Sages' control.

Moreover, it would make undergoing tribulation much more convenient—a single strand of Spiritual Sense would suffice to achieve the effect of tribulation.

The only issue was that such a small world couldn't support cultivation.

But then Haotian realized.

Cultivation?

Sure!

Ascending to immortality?

Ascend my ass!

The beings sent into this small world were all those with severe Karma entanglements.

And they think they can become immortals?

If he didn't just let them die and have their Karma vanish, that was already Haotian showing great compassion.

In this small world meant to eliminate Karma, such overpowered existences were not allowed.

With that thought, Haotian made up his mind.

For the time to come, aside from dealing with the Dragon Race, his task would revolve around this matter.

Refining a spiritual treasure containing a small world was no simple feat.

All the corresponding laws had to reach a certain level.

Without a solid foundation, even with his Ten Thousandfold Amplification, he would be groping in the dark.

The Universe Heavens began with the self-creation of heavens.

And self-creation of heavens began with filling the gaps in the laws.
