He Came from the Past to Worship Me

Damn it.

This is truly a ghost story.

The All Seats stared blankly at the celestial throne, which seemed to have come to life—an immeasurably vast emperor bowing to the great celestial being within the chaotic mist!

"Too clear"

The figure reflected in that spot let out a sigh of respect.

The Miss Mingyue, lay prostrate on the ground, her heart pounding in her throat!

Then, at this very moment.

Completely bewildered, Zhang Fusheng accepted the bow. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the Great Emperor Dongyue's position had returned to normal.

It seems that the bow and sigh just now were merely an illusion.

How could it be a hallucination?

The Green Emperor, the Great Emperor Dongyue.

Zhang Fusheng remembered.

In mythology, and in some Daoist scriptures, the Great Emperor Dongyue is said to be an incarnation of the Azure Emperor.

The Supreme Being can gaze upon himself within the canvas of illusory reality.

In the Five Villages Temple, in the past scenes reflected by the Heaven and Earth Tablet, Zhen Yuanzi can smile at himself in the past scenes.

How could the Azure Emperor not possess such power that transcends time and space?

The Mingyue's cry of "Azure Emperor" seemed to make the true Azure Emperor of the past world glance at it, bow, and sigh with reverence.

Towards oneself—no.

It was the name of Taiqing that I obtained from the Dao Ancestor using nine Holy Grail.

Zhang Fusheng suddenly realized where all the pressure he was under came from!

"The Azure Emperor!"

A bitter murmur escaped his lips. How could the Azure Emperor, so powerful, be below the Nine Nether Sin-Removing Heavenly Venerate, or perhaps the [Great Emperor Fengdu]?

By abusing his Rank/Status under the name of Taiqing, he casually arranged for the other party to become an incarnation of the Heavenly Venerate of Sin Removal. How could he not bear the immense karmic consequences?

Only.

The name of Taiqing resides within me, and the karma that could have crushed the gods only made him feel somewhat burdened.

Zhang Fusheng was speechless for a moment, but then he suddenly understood.

"The weight of this cause and effect is not only about making the six celestial positions the six transformations of the Heavenly Venerate of Sin Removal."

"More importantly, I must elevate the positions of the Central Extreme Cult Master and the Heavenly Venerate of Sin Removal to the Great Emperor Dongyue, or rather, above the Azure Emperor."

"Only then can the Rank/Status I determined with my word be truly rightful."

Zhang Fusheng's lips twitched, somewhat dazed, still astonished by the Green Emperor's salute, still astonished by the facts he had deduced and comprehended.

Holy crap!

From now on, I really can't speak carelessly anymore.

"What the name Taiqing bestows upon me seems to be greater and heavier than I imagined."

A deathly silence reigned.

The All Seats in the Dao Palace were all prostrate, drenched in cold sweat.

That celestial being... just now... came back to life?

Although it was only for a brief moment.

But who exactly is the Azure Emperor?

In the dead silence,

Amidst swirling chaotic mists, the Great Celestial Venerable, who had calmly accepted the Azure Emperor's bow, spoke softly:

"The Great Emperor Dongyue Peak is in charge of the birth of all sentient beings in the human world. He is also the Lord of Mount Tai, who holds the power over life and death, and the authority over ghosts and gods. He is in charge of both life and death."

The great Heavenly Venerable's Dao Sound flowed through the ears of All Seats.

"However, he was also the Azure Emperor, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, and once the head of the Three Human Emperors."

Of All Seats, apart from Miss Mingyue, everyone else seemed bewildered, including the Great Emperor Dongyue, the Lord of Mount Tai, and the Azure Emperor.

What are the Three Human Emperors?

The Miss Mingyue bowed her head and said tremblingly:

"I hope the Dao Ancestor will forgive me."

The Great Celestial Venerable looked down at her and said gently:

"What crime have you committed?"

The Miss Mingyue spoke hesitantly:

"When the young boy saw the Azure Emperor, he was momentarily reminded of the nine times my master discussed the Dao and tasted fruits with the Azure Emperor. Overwhelmed with emotion, he called out his name, thus disturbing the Azure Emperor and even the Dao Ancestor."

"No problem."

The remaining seven seats, whose brains were in a state of shutdown, heard the Great Celestial Venerable sighing leisurely.

Zhang Fusheng has already made up his mind.

Go down a dead-end road.

So he said.

"The Azure Emperor has come from the past, gazing upon the present, to pay homage to me, not because you have disturbed him."

The Heavenly Dao Sound resounded. As he spoke, the Great Heavenly Venerable in the mist couldn't help but look around, his gaze fixed intently on the Heavenly Throne of the Great Emperor Dongyue.

Nothing further unexpected happened.

After bowing nine times, the Miss Mingyue's emotions gradually calmed down, but she still spoke in a daze:

"Senior Qingdi, how could you be one of the Great Emperor Fengdu?"

Even with her incomplete memory, she could still clearly distinguish the difference in status between the Great Emperor Fengdu and the Azure Emperor.

At least they should be level.

The Celestial Venerable smiled and spoke:

"The Great Emperor Fengdu? The Central Extreme Cult Master is not merely the Great Emperor Fengdu. Fengdu is Him, but He is not Fengdu, just like..."

The Celestial Venerable in the mist stretched out his hand and gently pointed to the six celestial positions.

"He is six days, but He is not six days."

The All Seats were bewildered, Miss Mingyue suddenly realized, murmuring the four words "Central Extreme Cult Master," as she heard the Dao Ancestor speak:

"That fellow Daoist has indeed shown some signs of recovery, and has come to see me to offer this Six Heavenly Positions."

It took a while.

The Great Celestial Venerable suddenly spoke:

"Little guy."

"Your servant is here!" Mingyue quickly kowtowed, and heard the Dao Ancestor laugh and say, "Of these Six Heavenly Positions, is there one you wish to sit in?"

The All Seats turned their heads suddenly, both surprised and astonished.

The Miss Mingyue shuddered:

"Little boy, I wouldn't dare!"

The Celestial Venerable shook his head, neither insisting nor speaking further.

The churning, chaotic mist subsided and calmed down.

The True Person coughed:

"Get up, all of you."

The All Seats rose tremblingly, and heard the True Person ask again:

"Do any of the other All Seats have anything to discuss?"

The Buddhist disciple shook his head. Yuan Feidao, the Sixth Seat, hesitated, staring at the Great Wish Earth Store Heavenly Position with a complex expression, but ultimately remained silent.

As for the Seventh Seat...

Shen Baobao said cautiously:

"I also have some important matters here. Uh, minor matters."

She glanced at the six celestial beings, changed her words, and continued:

"The Source Origin Research Institute has received news from the capital that, due to the Gaotian Association, the Golden Province has been designated Forbidden Zone. I've also heard a secret."

After pausing for a moment, Shen Baobao carefully considered her words and began to speak:

"Not long ago, the capital's research institute held Grand Sacrifice to posed a question to the [Great Accomplishment Supreme Saint Heavenly Position] suspended in Different Dimension, but the process and result are unknown."

All Seats fell on the Seventh Seat, slightly surprised.

How could you know such secrets?

Shen Baobao continued:

"There's another secret, related to the governor. Some clues suggest that the governor may be inclined to rebel against the Federation."

The Dao Palace was quiet.

Zhang Fusheng frowned deeply. Was they really going to rebel?

Who knows what kind of chaos will ensue in that Golden Province!

As he pondered, the All Seats discussed among themselves and, under the witness of the True Person, made several small transactions—all involving lifespan and cultivation time.

Zhang Fusheng naturally took 30% as well.

For a long time.

"Since everything is alright..."

The True Person stepped forward, and under the illumination of the six Heavenly Realm experts, spoke calmly:

"Then all of you, leave."

Eight figures bowed to the Heavenly Venerable, then glanced at the Six Great Heavenly Positions with either awe or fervor. In a flash, they all fell out of the Dao Palace.

Before falling out.

Some wondered, if the Great Celestial Venerable intended to bestow a celestial position upon the Eighth Seat —would it be possible for them, if they Becoming a God, to request a great celestial position from the Celestial Venerable?

The gates of the Dao Palace slammed shut.

At the moment of closing, the Great Celestial Venerable leaped up from the prayer mat, stood on it, and bowed to the Great Emperor Dongyue of the Eastern Peak.

"I am ignorant, Green Emperor, please forgive me, I am naive."

Zhang Fusheng's words came to an abrupt end.

He bowed and saluted.

That spot began to sway and dim.

Zhang Fusheng glanced down at the prayer mat that had been trampled under his feet, silently stepped out, and offered another apology. Only then did the swaying, dimming Azure Emperor Heavenly Position return to normal.

However, there is still a very slight, almost imperceptible crack on it.

"I'm sorry," Zhang Fusheng said softly.

Chongyang City.

"Major figures from various religions have quietly gone to Longzhou City, all for Zhang Fusheng."

A newly arrived Divine Envoy calmly said:

"There are vague rumors that this person carries the secret of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron. But is that really true?"

He exchanged glances with another divine messenger.

The two were dressed in green robes and green garments, one male and one female.

Others might not know, but they came from the Tianli Faction, so how could they not know what the vortex that devoured ten bubble worlds was all about?

"The Hu clan is dead, and the Sky Patrol Chariot has been possessed by a strange bull demon."

The refined-looking man in the blue robe spoke coldly:

"That bull demon is very powerful. It is said that he killed a Xiantian realm cultivator with a single arrow."

"But what is clear is that only the Bull Demon King rode out in his Sky Patrol Chariot. If that's the case, then why did that little fellow named Zhang Fusheng show up?"

The two Divine Envoy looked at each other and instantly understood.

" On the Sky Patrol Chariot, besides the Bull Demon King, there were three or four blurry figures— Zhang Fusheng was among them."

The man in the green robe squinted:

"So, it's very likely that the mysterious bull demon is protecting this person. That means the High Envoy from various sects and factions who went to the dragon boat are in trouble."

Another Divine Envoy, a young woman dressed in blue, asked:

"So, should we still get involved?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I want to?"

The man in the green robe spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Leaving aside the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron, just the fact that they came from another place requires capturing and interrogating them. What exactly happened there?"

"Why has God severed ties with us after descending to earth?"

After a moment of contemplation,

The man in the green robe continued:

"I'll send a few top merchants to Longzhou City to see if we can capture someone quietly without alerting that bull demon."

As he spoke, he tossed down a photograph. The photograph showed a young man, a young girl, and an old man.

The man in the green robe had bright, piercing eyes and said with absolute certainty:

"These three were probably brought from another place along with the Bull Demon. Zhang Fusheng's deliberate appearance seems like he's fishing for fish, but we can do the opposite."

As they spoke,

The man in the green robe pointed his finger at the old man in the photo:

"For example, we could capture the old man or the young girl and interrogate them to find out what happened in that other place."

The woman in green nodded:

"Just to be on the safe side, I'll go myself. Let's avoid Zhang Fusheng and start with this old man and the girl. By the way, what about you?"

"I?"

The man in the green robe pondered for a moment before speaking:

"I've heard that Zhang Fusheng's master and parents are all in Chongyang City. I'll go and capture one or two of them, and see if I can force him to come back as well."

"In this way, we can avoid being ambushed or attacked by that bull demon. But who should we target?"

The woman in green casually flipped through the documents and suggested:

"His parents? No, those two live next door to that old bastard Hu Zhongli. It's said that Hu Zhongli has already broken through to the Innate Realm, and his master seems to have just left Chongyang. It's difficult to track him down."

"Most importantly, Hu Zhongli's status is too special, and Li Guoquan also frequently loiters around there. These are two Golden Councilor, and it's not easy to mess with them."

"How about this person?"

The female Divine Envoy pointed to the file of an old man named Yuan Feidao.

"This guy is Zhang Fusheng's grandmaster, but he seems to have a high level of cultivation; there's a possibility he's reached the Innate Realm."

"No problem."

The man in the green robe smiled, and behind him, ten Cave Heaven faintly rose and fell, clearly indicating that he was a powerful being at the Innate Limit realm!

He said with utmost sincerity:

"Heaven is above. Even among those born from the heavens, there are differences. I am favored by Upper Heaven. So what if he also opens up ten Cave Heaven?"

"He's just a beginner, without the status of Golden Councilor, so he can be captured at will."

The woman in blue nodded solemnly:

"Therefore, if we act separately, even if one of us fails, the other will most likely succeed."

"I'll go and capture this old man next to Zhang Fusheng, while you go and subdue Yuan Feidao."

The two Divine Envoy hit it off immediately.

After watching the woman leave,

The man in the blue robe rose leisurely, yawned, and muttered to himself:

"All religions are likely to fall into a trap, and many will perish in Longzhou City."

He had already inquired of Heaven, and it was confirmed that the Bull Demon was indeed inside the dragon boat.

"Only our Tianli Faction chose the most correct entry point."

The man in the green robe smiled, certain that a fierce battle would ensue on the dragon boat, but so what?

The woman in green who went to the dragon boat was only there to capture the old man or the young girl, avoiding Zhang Fusheng to stay as far away as possible from the whirlpool and the killing trap;

Of course, Zhang Fusheng is also very important.

So.

The man in the green robe picked up the photograph and quietly examined Yuan Feidao in it.

By using this person, we might be able to force Zhang Fusheng to return.

Furthermore, the Cui family is approaching; would the Bull Demon King really dare to force his way into Chongyang Festival?

They will surely be hunted down and killed.

"Flawless, absolutely foolproof."

The man in the green robe spoke thus.
