The Heavenly Court Discussed at the Purple Firmament Palace

East Sea.

On an island within Changsheng's Dao Field.

Unlike many others, Ao Changsheng did not go into complete seclusion. Instead, he created an avatar that sat cross-legged on a reef, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, lost in thought.

Through a series of fortuitous fortuitous opportunity, his current realm of understanding the Dao of the World has reached Hunyuan, a level from which there is no further advancement.

It's no longer possible to advance further by comprehending the evolution of the Middle Thousand World or even the vast universe of the Divine Land Universe.

Now.

The only thing that can broaden his Dao of the World and deepen his foundation is the vast Primordial World he is in now.

Pity...

Previously, his plan to infiltrate the Heavenly Dao and spy on the Primordial World was discovered by Hongjun.

To infer the structure of the Primordial World solely from the Primordial World cycle revealed by the Authority of Reincarnation is ultimately like looking at flowers through a fog, with only a layer between us.

However, Ao Changsheng was not upset about this matter at this moment.

On the contrary, he is now completely focused on deducing Hongjun's 'grand plan'.

Although the specific plan is unknown, the clues revealed by Hongjun and Hongjun ultimate goal suggest that...

Ao Changsheng had roughly guessed what Hongjun's 'grand plan' was all about.

Although he had only had a few conversations with Hongjun, Ao Changsheng could tell that Hongjun was a pure seeker of the Dao.

His actions must have only one purpose.

Seeking the Way!

Now that Hongjun has merged with the Heavenly Dao, based on Ao Changsheng's current understanding of cultivation, there are only two ways for Hongjun to seek the Dao.

First, it is to strengthen the primordial Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao, thereby enhancing his own harmony with the Heavenly Dao.

Secondly, one seeks transcendence, merging with the Heavenly Dao and fully comprehending it, thereby transcending the Heavenly Dao, transcending the Primordial World Heavenly Dao, and venturing into Chaos.

Both are possible, and... they are not entirely contradictory!

From the scattered clues, Ao Changsheng pieced together Hongjun's plan and couldn't help but laugh.

"Interesting... interesting..."

Ao Changsheng exclaimed softly, and it was clear from his expression and gaze that Ao Changsheng was truly happy at that moment.

"I am not alone on my path." Ao Changsheng's eyes were filled with joy.

Arriving in the Primordial World at over 38,000 years ago, which translates to approximately 5 billion years.

He spent five billion years in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion, and hardly ever walked in the Primordial World.

It can be said that Ao Changsheng was no longer in seclusion simply because of the Seclusion System.

It is for the sake of seeking the Way!

It was the wonder of these myriad Great Dao that made Ao Changsheng resist the temptation to leave seclusion and endure the tedious practice of closed-door cultivation.

Although I don't know what a system is, there's no doubt that it's an invaluable treasure, and with the help of a system...

Ao Changsheng had unwavering confidence in his ability to cultivate and attain enlightenment.

With his body aligned with the Heavenly Dao and backed by Hongjun, the ruler of the entire Primordial World, Ao Changsheng believed that his chances of achieving enlightenment were equally great.

At this moment, upon seeing a fellow traveler on the same path of seeking the Dao, how could Ao Changsheng not be overjoyed?

"Let's see who... will surpass Hunyuan first!" Ao Changsheng gazed at the blue sky.

His eyes seemed to pierce through endless time and space, directly seeing the Purple Firmament Palace situated in the Chaos.

Heaven Beyond Heaven.

The Purple Firmament Palace stands amidst the Chaos, suppressing the endless Chaos currents of chaos.

Hongjun gazed at the scene of the Primordial World East Sea, speechless with astonishment.

He never expected that Zhunti would dare to go to the East Sea to attack Nüwa's incarnation and forcibly seize the Qiankun Cauldron.

They forcibly seized Ao Changsheng's treasures in the East Sea.

For this, Hongjun really wanted to praise Zhunti.

Zhunti did something he had always wanted to do but never dared to!

The only downside was that the outcome was rather tragic.

"Now, it might be a bit difficult for Zhunti to sever his Three Corpses," Hongjun thought to himself.

As the founder of the Method of Severing the Three Corpses, no one understands the Method of Severing the Three Corpses better than him.

He clearly understood Zhunti's current state and Ao Changsheng's schemes.

He didn't care about Zhunti's self-inflicted suffering, since Zhunti wasn't his direct disciple anyway.

Only...

Thinking back to the commotion caused by Ao Changsheng's previous actions.

Hongjun's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Changsheng's Dao of the World has become even more profound, but... why hasn't it improved?"

Hongjun pondered in his heart.

Are you hiding your talents?

Hongjun couldn't believe that Ao Changsheng, who possessed a complete Great Dao of Water and a portion of the Authority of Reincarnation, would have made no progress in such a long time.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng... what exactly do you want to do!"

Hongjun's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Although he addressed Ao Changsheng as a fellow Daoist and their numerous encounters had all ended in win-win situations, he had never lowered his guard against Ao Changsheng over the years.

The more he interacted with Ao Changsheng, the more mysterious Ao Changsheng seemed to him.

And mysterious...

This is precisely what easily arouses suspicion and vigilance.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was no exception to this.

After pondering for a moment, Hongjun put those thoughts aside. Ao Changsheng's purpose was not something he could figure out by guessing and speculating here.

Turning his gaze back to the Primordial World, Hongjun's face regained its expressionless indifference.

"You all, come to the Purple Firmament Palace at once!"

In the Primordial World, the voice of Hongjun suddenly rang in the ears of all the sages.

Even in the void of the East Sea, Zhunti, who was being suppressed, was no exception.

Only...

"Teacher, save me! I need to get to the Purple Firmament Palace! Teacher, save me!" Zhunti cried out, lying on the ground and completely lacking any Sage dignity.

Only...

No response!

Nestled amidst Chaos, the ancient Purple Firmament Palace exudes a rich Daoist charm.

"Nüwa Sister Nuwa! Daoist Jieyin!"

Laozi Three Purities Laozi, looked at the two who had come together, somewhat surprised, but still bowed and said hello.

Yuanshi and Tongtian also shouted in unison.

Nüwa and Jieyin returned the greeting with a bow.

"Why didn't Zhunti Daoist Zhunti come with Daoist Jieyin?" Tongtian suddenly asked curiously from the side.

Jieyin shook his head slightly.

"That Zhunti ambushed me in the East Sea trying to seize the Qiankun Cauldron, but he was suppressed by Senior Changsheng!" Nüwa sneered from the side.

Upon hearing Nüwa's words, the Three Purities Ones all wore slightly strange expressions.

The Jieyin's face showed even more distress.

However, upon Hongjun's summons, the saints showed no intention of continuing their conversation and entered the Purple Firmament Palace together.

It was still the familiar Purple Firmament Palace, the familiar cloud platform, the familiar two Daoist boys, and the familiar six futons, only the seats for the three thousand mortal guests of Zixiao were gone.

The five saints stepped forward and sat down.

"Greetings, Master Hongjun!"

All the saints shouted in unison.

On the cloud platform, Hongjun opened his eyes and glanced at the five saints below, but he did not say anything about the absence of Zhunti.

This action also stirred something within the hearts of the saints.

"I have summoned you here today for matters concerning the Heavenly Court."

Hongjun spoke calmly.

"Heavenly Court?"

The saints were taken aback. They hadn't expected that Hongjun had summoned them here only for the matter of the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.

Ignoring the astonishment of the assembled saints, Hongjun spoke calmly.

"Although the heavens and earth have been repaired after the collapse of Mount Buzhou, the cycle of yin and yang has been disrupted."

"The Heavenly Court is the legitimate successor of the Primordial World, and its duty is to manage the sun, moon, and stars above, regulate the cycle of yin and yang below, and govern the operation of the Primordial World universe."

Therefore, it is necessary to rebuild the Heavenly Court and restore order to the Primordial World!

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, the saints all nodded in agreement without changing their expressions, but they felt extremely strange inside.

While others may not know, how could these Sage not know?

The yin-yang cycle and the reincarnation of heaven and Underworld in this Primordial World have long been taken over by Pingxin of the Underworld.

Not to mention that the Primordial World has now recovered, even during the period of extreme collapse, the cycle of heaven and earth did not encounter any problems.

Hongjun paid no attention to the thoughts of the sages and continued speaking.

"In this war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the Demon Race was wicked. He extracted the essence of Mount Buzhou to Primordial World Great Formation, and then detonated the array, causing Mount Buzhou to collapse and nearly destroying the Primordial World."

"The Heavenly Court is the legitimate successor of the Primordial World; the Demon Race is no longer suitable to govern Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, the saints felt even more bewildered.

How could these Sages, who were almost personally involved in the breaking of Mount Buzhou, not know how it happened?

Of course, it's not wrong to say that the Demon Race is immoral.

After all, from beginning to end, neither Hongjun nor these Sage used any means to guide any lich to destroy Mount Buzhou.

All the choices were impulsive decisions made by the Lich and Demon races under the influence of the Immeasurable Tribulation Qi.

Moreover, even Nüwa, the 'Demon Race Sage,' didn't say anything, so naturally the other Sage wouldn't speak up for the Demon Race.

"Does the teacher want us to rebuild the Heavenly Court?"

Laozi, one of the Three Purities Laozi, spoke first.

"Indeed!" Hongjun nodded and said, "As Heavenly Dao Sage, it is your duty to maintain the operation of the Heavenly Dao. This Heavenly Court should naturally be discussed by you."

In an instant, all the Sage frowned.

Why would a mere, dispensable Heavenly Court need to be discussed by these Heavenly Dao Sages?

"Discuss who the ruler of Heavenly Court should be. After you've discussed it, tell me that Heavenly Court should be rebuilt." After Hongjun finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the Purple Firmament Palace.

With Hongjun gone, the assembled Sage felt a slight sense of relief.

Even after becoming Heavenly Dao Sage, they could still faintly sense the overwhelming pressure emanating from Hongjun.

"Fellow disciples, fellow Daoists, since our master has instructed us to discuss this matter, let us quickly devise a plan!"

Grand Pure One Laozi was the first to speak.

Although Laozi said this, the other Four Sages did not react much.

Although the Heavenly Court claims to be the legitimate successor to the Primordial World, it also holds the position of managing the Primordial World.

But it's nothing to the six... five Heavenly Dao Sages, who are responsible for managing the Heavenly Dao Sage Primordial World.

It possesses both power and authority, making it many times stronger than that so-called Heavenly Court.

Although the Demon Race did accumulate some merit when they ruled the Heavenly Court, for these Sages, those meager bits of merit were negligible.

As for their disciples...

Although the saints accepted some disciples after establishing their religion, it has only been a few years, and even the most accomplished disciple has only just reached the Daluo realm.

Even Sage like them wouldn't have the face to allow their disciples to ascend to the position of ruler of the Heavenly Court.

The only thing that could possibly catch their attention was probably the Thirty-Six Heavens of the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.

These Thirty-Six Heavens are close to the Primordial World starry sky, and are the first to come into contact with the endless Spiritual Qi sprinkled by the sun, moon and stars.

Its abundance is evident from the sheer strength and power of the Demon Race.
