Yaochi's Pain! The Immortal King and the Immortal Master
Jieyin hearing this, Jieyin gently shook his head and said, "Let bygones be bygones!"
He stopped his junior brother from continuing to utter those treasonous words; what was the point of saying such things now that he had already become a saint?
Zhun Ti nodded, ceasing the discussion, and then changed the subject, saying, "Haotian has become a saint, and there are still two Sage positions left. I wonder who will ultimately benefit from them?"
"Hehe, fate is unpredictable!" Jieyin laughed, with a hint of sarcasm.
Meanwhile, someone in Heavenly Court was completely dumbfounded.
In the Peach Garden, Yaochi stared in shock at Haotian in the sky, her eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.
At that moment, her mind was filled with questions, and she was covered in question marks.
Everything was fine until Haotian suddenly became a saint?
This is so sudden.
Without any warning, without any preparation.
Yaochi's expression shifted between light and dark. She sensed a conspiracy within the scene, and recalling Haotian's return that day, she felt as if struck by lightning.
She finally understood.
It turns out it had already started back then.
It is evident that Haotian's trip to the Purple Heaven Palace brought back not only the Investiture of the Gods, but also a sacred position.
This guy got such a good deal at the Purple Heaven Palace, but he didn't tell her.
What does this mean?
"Afraid I'll take it from you?"
Having figured out the whole story, Yaochi's face turned extremely ugly.
When the Heavenly Court was established, the Dao Ancestor personally stated that she and Haotian would jointly govern the Heavenly Court, which meant that Haotian was on equal footing with him.
Now that Haotian has become a saint, everything has changed completely. This sainthood should have been discussed with her, but Haotian kept it a secret from her.
There was originally a 50% chance that it would happen to me, but now that chance is completely gone!
Yaochi's face was frosty, and she gritted her teeth. Thinking of this, she could no longer control herself. She threw down the Flat Peach Tree in her hand, left the Heavenly Court, and rushed towards the Purple Heaven Palace.
Haotian saw all of this but did not stop it. After all, he had already become a saint, so even if Yaochi had any objections, it wouldn't matter.
Comfortable!
This feels so good!
Haotian breathed a long sigh of relief. After becoming a saint, his mindset and perspective were completely different.
This feeling of looking down upon the world and transcending worldly affairs is simply indescribable.
In short, it can be summed up in two words.
Invincible!
"Senior Brother Taiqing has recovered his foundation, and I have also achieved Sage. It's time to unleash a calamity!"
Haotian clenched his fist, feeling the powerful magic within his body, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Then, Haotian took a step forward and left the Heavenly Court.
The Primordial World was in turmoil. Laozi established the All-Spirit Sect, Haotian suddenly became a saint. The impact of these events was profound.
Suddenly, powerful figures from all walks of life began to speculate that there might be a connection between these events, or some unknown secret, otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence.
"Damn it! Even Haotian has become a saint, so where is my path to sainthood?"
In a certain place in the Eastern Wasteland, the Duke of the East hid in a fairy mountain, his face filled with resentment.
He's been fooled by Laozi so much that he's like a rat crossing the street, afraid to show his face for fear of being purged by Ziwei.
However, when he was in dire straits, Haotian rose up and became Sage.
Who could withstand such a dramatic change?
He is, after all, the Head of Male Immortals, and still is. He is highly respected, so why is it so difficult for him to become a saint?
Especially Laozi's resurgence made Duke of the East even more furious. In this state, Laozi was still able to continue.
Heavenly Dao is unjust!
Thinking of this, Duke of the East temporarily extinguished the fire in his heart and began to plan his way out. Now he had offended Ziwei and even the Golden Crow Clan.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's almost certain death; even if you try to hide, you'll live in constant fear, never knowing when you might get caught.
This can't go on.
Thinking of this, Duke of the East's eyes flickered, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a brilliant plan came to mind.
"Why not go and seek refuge with Haotian?"
"At this time, Haotian has become a saint, and the Heavenly Court is currently empty and lacks capable people. If I can go and help him, wouldn't Haotian treat me as an honored guest?"
Duke of the East thought this way, after all, he was the Head of Male Immortals, and he himself possessed remarkable abilities.
If he joins the Heavenly Court and commands respect as the Head of Male Immortals, coupled with the divine might of the Haotian, wouldn't he be able to gain widespread support?
With his addition, Haotian would probably be laughing in his sleep!
Thinking about this, Duke of the East felt he had found his purpose in life.
Haotian also has the Dao Ancestor behind him. If he can join the Heavenly Court, he will naturally no longer need to fear Ziwei's revenge.
Moreover, they can achieve great things.
After considering all this, Duke of the East suddenly felt that everything before him was bright.
"I'll take Kongming with me and we'll go to seek refuge together. That will be a good opportunity to demonstrate the influence of the Head of Male Immortals."
Duke of the East nodded slightly; at the moment, the only person he could rally was Kongming.
His dismal performance in the competition for the Human Emperor had completely disillusioned the immortals, who no longer recognized him Head of Male Immortals. Only Kongming still firmly believed in him.
Perhaps this is what they mean by... heroes cherishing heroes!
Subsequently, Duke of the East found Kongming and shared his thoughts. Kongming was immediately astonished and gave him a thumbs up.
"The Immortal King's actions were flawless! I am deeply impressed."
Kongming exclaimed in amazement, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Immortal Master, you flatter us! We will surely accomplish great things on our journey!" Duke of the East said with a modest smile, displaying great humility and elegant demeanor.
"Then... please?" Kongming asked tentatively.
"Walk!"
The Duke of the East nodded and took the lead, rushing towards the Heavenly Court.
Much later.
The two finally arrived at the Heavenly Court. Duke of the East straightened his clothes and put on a smile that was just right, carrying a hint of respect, a hint of eagerness, and a hint of confidence.
Although he came to seek refuge, he couldn't let Haotian look down on him. At the same time, he had to show a certain degree of respect, after all, Haotian was now Sage.
The point is to make Haotian feel the burdens he carries and the talents he possesses.
"By the Heavenly Emperor, the Head of Male Immortals Duke of the East, and his subordinate, the Kongming Immortal Master, have come to visit."
The Duke of the East spoke in a booming voice, but received no response from Haotian.
A guard suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said indifferently, "The Heavenly Emperor has gone out. Please come back another day!"
"They went out?"
Duke of the East and Kongming exchanged a puzzled look.
How could he disappear so soon after attaining enlightenment?
Where did you go gallivanting off to?
"Thank you for your trouble, young brother. May we wait here?" Duke of the East said with a kind smile, appearing quite humble.
When you first arrive, you shouldn't be too presumptuous.
"Do as you please!" The guard glanced at them dismissively, turned and left, muttering to himself as he went.
"The Head of Male Immortals? Still living in a dream, how laughable..."
Upon hearing this, the two were immediately enraged. Kongming was about to teach them a lesson when Duke of the East suddenly stopped him.
"Forget it, this kind of brat is the most troublesome. It's not worth bothering with him. Once we've established ourselves in Heavenly Court, we'll settle things with him properly!"
"Duke of the East said coldly."
Afterwards, the two of them waited patiently, and as time went by, more immortals came from all directions.
Clearly, they shared the same idea as the Duke of the East: to seek refuge and secure a good position.
