I never expected that the Human Emperor would be so audacious.

They didn't even respect him, the Haotian Shangdi, at all; they deserve to die!

Furthermore, according to Tianpeng's words, the Haotian Shangdi has already cultivated to the level of Quasi-Saint, which is absolutely unacceptable.

It was precisely because Dao Ancestor Hongjun restricted the path of cultivation for the Human Emperor.

This led to the Human Emperor becoming a mortal, and the claim that he was Human Emperor Lord of the Primordial World became a joke. Few people still held the Human Emperor in high esteem.

Although protected by good fortune and indestructible, his lifespan is only a hundred years. As a mere mortal, he is no longer worthy of the admiration of many powerful beings.

This allowed the Haotian Shangdi to display his divine might, vaguely giving him an air of superiority over the Human Emperor.

This is why the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the great demons of the mortal realm, and many immortals and Buddhas all obey his words.

Now that the Human Emperor can not only cultivate magic, but also cultivates at such a rapid pace, how can this be allowed?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

He, the Haotian Shangdi, received teachings from Dao Ancestor Hongjun three times.

He served his teacher for many years and received guidance from him.

Only then did he cultivate to the level of Quasi-Saint.

And that damned Human Emperor, merely by breaking the shackles of heaven and earth, has already cultivated to become Quasi-Saint?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

At this moment, the Haotian Shangdi, sitting atop the throne, was already gritting his teeth.

The matter of the Human Emperor revising the laws is not as simple as the Dragon Clan turning against him.

This is something that affects his position of authority.

The dragon throne was being squeezed so hard by the Haotian Shangdi that it was cracking.

"Didn't the teacher know about the Human Emperor's reforms?"

The Haotian Shangdi sat upon it, his brow furrowed.

"Or is it that the Haotian Shangdi actually has the means and ability to deceive the teacher?"

"We must inform the teacher about this, and then have the teacher intervene again to strip him of his privileges and bring him back to square one."

"And that Human Dao Saint, now that he's Saint, he's so unruly."

"In that case, it seems the teacher should also impose punishment, so that this so-called Human Dao Saint will know what the rules are."

"Let this Human Dao Saint know, let him know whose Primordial World is."

They immediately flew directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Meanwhile, Tianpeng had already gone to see Taishang Laojun.

Taishang Laojun was his teacher.

I have to tell the teacher about this no matter what.

Furthermore, one can obtain other magical treasures from the teacher.

Taishang Laojun is the benevolent incarnation of Taishang Laozi, the Leader of the Human Sect.

When the Heavenly Court was first established, there was no one available, so Taishang Laozi arranged for his dismembered body to be placed in the Heavenly Court. This was partly to monitor Haotian's actions, and partly to give face to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Taishang Laozi had only one Zhenzhen disciple, who was actually the treacherous Grand Master Xuandu.

Besides Grand Master Xuandu, there were several other disciples who were nominally accepted as disciples.

For example, the True Person Du'e.

For example, the Chan Master Wuchao.

Marshal Tianpeng was also considered a disciple of Taishang Laozi.

After all, Marshal Tianpeng had learned some techniques from the benevolent Laozi.

They even obtained the Nine-Toothed Rake from Taishang Laojun.

He could naturally be considered a disciple in name only.

Although Taishang Laojun never admitted it.

Tianpeng arrived at the Lihen Heaven and immediately knelt down in the Tushita Palace.

"Disciple Tianpeng greets Master, wishing you boundless blessings!"

Not long afterward, the gates of the Tushita Palace in the Lihen Heaven opened as expected.

Upon seeing this, Tianpeng immediately showed a joyful expression, which meant that his teacher was still willing to see him.

Upon entering the Tushita Palace, countless wondrous sights immediately appeared.

All sorts of exotic flowers and fruits, all sorts of fragrant herbs and spiritual roots, all sorts of mythical beasts and divine creatures—everything imaginable is available.

Truly, creation is infinitely wondrous, and its Qiongqi.

I passed by field after field of medicinal herbs, and plant after plant of spiritual roots.

In the end, we arrived at the place of Taishang Laozi.

"Disciple Tianpeng greets Master."

Come in!

Taishang Laojun's voice was upright and peaceful.

Tianpeng was naturally overjoyed.

They rushed inside.

Before long, they saw two water and fire children.

Seeing the two water and fire attendants, Tianpeng's mood improved somewhat.

Then they followed the Water and Fire Child to the Alchemy Pavilion.

Inside the alchemy pavilion stood a purple-gold alchemy furnace, eight feet eight inches tall, where immortal pills were being forged.

Beneath the purple-gold alchemy furnace, a raging fire was burning fiercely, looking extremely eerie.

There was a white-haired Daoist priest who simply watched the alchemy furnace quietly.

Upon seeing this figure, Grand Marshal Tianpeng immediately knelt down.

"Disciple Tianpeng greets Master. May Master live a long and prosperous life!"

"Tianpeng, what brings you here?"

"Master, the magical treasure you bestowed upon your disciple has been stolen."

"This disciple is truly pathetic."

Then he began to act, kneeling down on the ground and wailing loudly.

This situation is incredibly frustrating.

Then he told Taishang Laojun everything about his trip to Chaoge.

Taishang Laojun was also slightly taken aback.

He naturally knew that the Human Emperor had broken the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

Now you can begin your cultivation.

However, no one expected that the Human Emperor's cultivation speed would be so fast.

"Tianpeng, are you saying that the Human Emperor's aura is extremely powerful? Even you sensed a terrifying aura from him?"

"You suspect that the Human Emperor has at least cultivated to the Quasi-Saint realm?"

Tianpeng nodded.

"Teacher, what I have said is absolutely true."

"The Human Emperor truly possesses an unparalleled and terrifying aura; in his presence, I felt utterly insignificant and petty."

"You must know that I now possess the strength of Daluo Golden Immortal. The fact that I can feel this way is enough to show that the Human Emperor's strength is truly beyond imagination."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Taishang Laojun's eyes.

Things took a turn for the better than he had anticipated.

It seems that behind this Human Emperor are not just the Human Dao Saint.

The Human Emperor abolished his Great Dao of the Golden Elixir directly and pioneered many unique cultivation methods among the Human Clan.

Even Taishang Laozi couldn't figure out where those cultivation methods came from.

It now appears that the Human Emperor was not simply Human Dao Saint.

Perhaps there are other unknown entities behind this.

Thinking of this, a mysterious and unpredictable mythological glint appeared in Taishang Laojun's eyes.

It seems that things have developed far beyond the control of these Saints.

As for the truth of the matter, it's no longer something these Saint can say.

Now we can only wait and see what Dao Ancestor Hongjun does.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun does not react, it means that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has not yet begun.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun reacts, it means that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin in full force.

Thinking of this, Taishang Laojun sighed slightly.

"Although you lost your rake, you've also made a good connection; it might save your life someday."

Upon hearing this, Grand Marshal Tianpeng was taken aback.

His own rake was taken away by the Human Emperor, yet he somehow formed a good relationship with Human Emperor?

In other words, the future Human Emperor might very well spare his life?

Why would a teacher say such a thing?

Tianpeng was utterly baffled.

However, judging from the teacher's words, it seemed that there was no intention to pursue the matter of the Human Emperor.

This made Tianpeng somewhat depressed.

He then spoke again.

"Teacher, you know that all my magical power is basically concentrated on that rake."

"Now that even the rake is gone, my magical power will only decline further."

"Teacher, why don't you give me another suitable weapon?"

She then pretended to cry.

Taishang Laojun glanced at the guy.

"You think you can hide your little schemes from me?"

"Since you've come to me, I might as well give you a magical artifact."

His gaze immediately shifted, searching for the magical treasure.

He then fixed his gaze on the bottom of the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.
