"Eight Immortals Plan? So that was it..."
With a sweep of his broad sleeve, Lu Chuan closed the scroll, a look of understanding flashing through his eyes.
This was a backup measure Haotian had left behind to deal with the Ancestral Dragon.
It turned out that eight new immortal positions had appeared on the Heavenly Court's Immortal Registry. Those eight immortals would become an important force for the future Heavenly Court, and by Heaven's will, these eight immortal households were destined to be the Ancestral Dragon's bane.
Eastern Flower Emperor was one of them as well. Thus, earlier, Great Emperor Haotian had used the matter of Dongfang Shuo as a pretext to make Eastern Flower Emperor reincarnate and undergo tribulation, all for the sake of drawing out the other Eight Immortals.
Otherwise, given how many years Haotian had lived and the breadth of mind he had as master of the Three Realms, he absolutely would not have acted as he had last time, pressing Eastern Flower Emperor and his disciple without letting go even after gaining the upper hand.
Using the Eight Immortals to restrain the Ancestral Dragon, and using the Ancestral Dragon to temper the Eight Immortals as well—this was the Eight Immortals Plan Haotian had left behind.
That was right. Those Eight Immortals were the legendary Eight Immortals, Lu Dongbin and the others.
Taibai Jinxing said, "Does the Heavenly Emperor understand now?"
"I understand."
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he abruptly rose to his feet. "This matter can wait until after I have a bout with him."
Today was only his second day as Heavenly Emperor. Not even three days had passed, yet this Ancestral Dragon had already been unable to restrain himself, barging into his Heavenly Court and spouting arrogant nonsense right in front of him.
Arrogant!
