Haotian's Schemes, Preparations Before the Tribulation
Purple Heaven Palace.
Hongjun and the other sages discussed the matter at length before adjourning the meeting. Nuwa, who was also one of the six sages of heaven and earth, was completely ignored.
Afterwards, the saints left Purple Heaven Palace and began to take action. This time, they carried a heavy responsibility, which was no joke.
"Fellow disciples, please take good care of me in the affairs of Heavenly Court from now on!"
After leaving Purple Heaven Palace, Haotian cupped his hands and addressed the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Sages, his attitude just right, neither obsequious nor servile, displaying great politeness and handling the situation perfectly.
In the end, this calamity was orchestrated by the Heavenly Court, which was the ultimate beneficiary. The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages were essentially working for the Heavenly Court.
"Junior Brother Haotian, you're too kind. We're just cooperating to share the burden for the Heavenly Dao and our teacher!" Laozi said with a smile, his attitude gentle.
Yuanshi and Tongtian merely nodded slightly, their expression indifferent, but deep down they disliked Haotian.
The Chan Sect and the Interception Sect have numerous disciples; how could anyone be happy that Haotian had previously set his sights on them?
Laozi was different; he originally only had one disciple, who is now dead. As a lone individual, he was not afraid of such things.
"Junior brother, you can rest assured. We are from the same sect, so it is only natural that we should help each other. I have taken it all to heart," Jieyin said Jieyin a smile, his attitude much better than before.
Haotian is no longer what he used to be. With the approval of the Dao Ancestor, he will soon become a saint, at which point he will be on the same level as them.
Moreover, the Heavenly Court wields great power, and there might be a reason for Haotian to be of use in the future, so he wanted to establish a good relationship in advance.
"Then I, your junior brother, would like to express my gratitude to all my senior brothers!" Haotian said, cupping his hands in thanks.
"You're too kind, Junior Brother. Please go back and prepare. We'll start our massacre after you become a Saint!"
Jieyin smiled, his head radiating a halo, as dazzling as a small sun, exuding peace and compassion, but his words were filled with murderous intent and made no attempt to conceal them.
"That's perfect!" Haotian said with a smile. He couldn't help but get excited when the topic of becoming a saint came up; it was just too exciting and something to look forward to.
Farewell!
Haotian cupped his hands in respect, unable to contain his impulse any longer.
Yuanshi Tongtian glanced at Haotian, said nothing, and followed Laozi away.
Not only was Haotian excited, but Laozi was also excited. He wanted to rush back to restore his foundation, regain his former glory, and reclaim his former honor.
Without real strength, they can't even speak with conviction anymore.
Afterwards, the saints returned to the Primordial World and began a busy day.
Haotian returned to the empty Heavenly Court in high spirits, exuding confidence and composure, his whole being radiant with a beaming smile.
This puzzled Yaochi, who was tending to the Flat Peach Tree. She wondered how this person could have undergone such a complete transformation after just one trip.
"Senior brother, what happened? Why are you so happy?" Yaochi put down her work and followed Haotian into the main hall.
Upon hearing this, Haotian's heart skipped a beat, and then his smile gradually faded.
He suddenly realized a serious problem: he had gone to the Purple Heaven Palace and obtained a saintly position, but his junior sister, who was also in charge of the Heavenly Court, had not.
If my junior sister found out, wouldn't she be resentful, and might even go to the Purple Heaven Palace to confront the Dao Ancestor?
Don't ruin your own holy position!
Having considered this, Haotian had already made up his mind. He smiled slightly and said:
"Junior sister, there is indeed good news, tremendous good news!"
"What happy occasion?" Yaochi asked curiously.
"It's a great joy for the Heavenly Court," Haotian continued excitedly, "Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, I have been troubled by Heavenly Court development."
"Although the Heavenly Court has the responsibility to govern the Primordial World, it exists in name only, and not many powerful individuals join it."
"So, having been forced into a corner, I thought of Master, and thus went to the Purple Heaven Palace to ask him for advice."
At this point, Haotian took out the Investiture of the Gods. That's right, he eventually brought the Investiture of the Gods back with him.
It can be described as shameless and unyielding. The Three Pure Ones were too embarrassed to lower themselves to compete, while the Two Western Sages tried to compete but failed.
In the end, Haotian took it and entrusted it to him for safekeeping.
Now, the Investiture of the Gods, shining brightly in her hand, left Yaochi completely stunned. Although she didn't know what it was, it seemed incredibly powerful.
"Senior brother, this is..." Yaochi asked in surprise, pointing at the Investiture of the Gods.
Haotian smiled slightly, not keeping anyone in suspense.
"This is the Investiture of the Gods Scroll!"
"All those listed are under the jurisdiction of my Heavenly Court. This is the great treasure of my Heavenly Court! A divine artifact for the nation!"
Finally, with a solemn, sacred, and inviolable expression, he roared like thunder.
Yaochi was immediately shocked, looking at the Investiture of the Gods with disbelief. How could such a small thing possess such terrifying power?
What exactly happened during Haotian's time at the Purple Heaven Palace?
They actually brought this thing back with them.
The Dao Ancestor is far too open-minded!
Yaochi deeply doubted this; it didn't make sense.
When Haotian saw that Yaochi was stunned, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He was also quite shocked when he first heard it, but not as shocked as Yaochi.
People who have never seen the world are all like that.
He had unknowingly surpassed Yaochi, and the fact that this holy position fell into his hands was truly due to his strength.
Putting aside his thoughts, Haotian continued speaking, his voice booming with power.
"In addition, the Three Pure Ones and our Jieyin and Zhunti will also assist us in completing the Heavenly Court's grand plan of Investiture of the Gods the gods!"
"At that time, the entire Primordial World will be involved, especially the Human Race. All the strong will be included in my Investiture of the Gods and put to our command!"
He held the Investiture of the Gods, and golden rays of light radiated from it.
"So, this Investiture of the Gods is mainly aimed at the Human Race?" Yaochi was very knowledgeable and immediately sensed the true meaning of the conferment of Investiture of the Gods.
The core of the problem is already obvious.
This is yet another scheme by the Dao Ancestor against the Human Race.
"Indeed, the Human Race has defied the heavens and disrespected the way of Heavenly Dao, so it is fitting that they suffer this calamity. The fate of the Wu and Demon and demon races will be the fate of the Human Race in the future!"
Haotian nodded, a cold smile on his face, feeling both happy and excited at the thought.
Moreover, it won't be long before the gap between him and Ziwei disappears after he becomes a saint.
Before I knew it, they had caught up with me in no time.
The master was as capable as ever; I didn't let him down.
"If that's the case, that would be wonderful."
Yaochi laughed along, but her laughter carried a strange chill that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Senior brother, when will the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods begin?"
She looked up and asked, already somewhat impatient.
"Uh... it'll be soon, it'll start as soon as the time is right!"
Haotian paused for a moment, then stammered in response. Yaochi, preoccupied with the Investiture of the Gods, did not notice Haotian's unusual behavior.
"Junior sister, I must first go and study the Investiture of the Gods. Farewell."
Haotian put away the Investiture of the Gods and hurriedly slipped away.
