Haotian and Yaochi Head to the East Sea

"Taishang Brother, our Master said that the Demon Race is immoral and cannot continue to manage the Heavenly Court. Therefore, it is inconvenient for me, Sage of the Demon Race, to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Court."

In the silence, Nüwa was the first to break it.

But these words immediately made the other Sage curse him in their hearts as cunning.

However, what Nüwa said was not unreasonable. Nüwa was originally the Emperor Wa of the Demon Race, and she had never left the Demon Race even after tens of thousands of years of worship.

Moreover, Nüwa's actions also suggest that she intends to withdraw from the struggle for the Thirty-Six Heavens.

Laozi nodded naturally.

The saints had no other opinions.

At this moment, the Jieyin also clasped his hands in greeting and said, "We in the West are willing to send someone to serve as the ruler of the Heavenly Court."

Although the Sage looked Taishang the Heavenly Court, their western region was barren, so they naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

Normally, his junior brother, Daoist Zhunti such matters, but since Zhunti was not present this time, Jieyin naturally had to take charge personally.

"Daoist Jieyin, the West is currently barren. Although it has some talented individuals, they are ultimately not qualified to serve as the ruler of the Heavenly Court."

No sooner had the words of Jieyin than the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, who was standing to the side, immediately said the same thing.

Although they, the Heavenly Dao Sage, looked down on the Heavenly Court, they did not want it to fall into the hands of the Westerners, who would then sit on the throne and rule the Primordial World.

"If that's the case, then I, from the west, will only contribute some manpower to help rebuild the Heavenly Court." Jieyin this, Jieyin closed his eyes and concentrated again.

"This..."

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Jieyin, looking at Jieyin who had closed his eyes again, and had a vague feeling that he had been tricked.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Laozi.

Feeling the gaze of the Yuanshi, Laozi sighed. In the end, he still hadn't severed his Three Corpses. Not only his Law Power, but also his temperament and scheming were somewhat different from those of a true Sage.

"It's good that Daoist Jieyin is willing to help rebuild the Heavenly Court, but the Lord of the Heavenly Court... since none of you fellow Daoists are willing to interfere with the Lord of the Heavenly Court."

"Then the position of the Lord of Heavenly Court... is destined not to belong to our sect."

Laozi opened his eyes, glanced around at all the sages, and then his gaze settled on the two boys below the cloud platform not far away.

"Haotian and Yaochi, although you are merely disciples of the Master, you are still Dao Ancestor's tutelage. Are you willing to become the rulers of this Heavenly Court?"

Laozi uttered these words, not only the saints, but even Haotian and Yaochi were stunned.

Only Nüwa's eyes flickered slightly as she gave Laozi a sinister look.

"Me... we?"

Although they served Hongjun in the Purple Firmament Palace for many years, both of them were Quasi-Sage who had severed one of their physical bodies.

Nature is not a child who knows nothing.

"Fellow disciples, we still need to serve our master; how can we assume the responsibilities of the so-called Lord of Heavenly Court?"

Although they longed to leave Purple Firmament Palace and go to the Primordial World, both Haotian and Yaochi shook their heads and refused.

At that moment, Hongjun, who had already left, unknowingly reappeared in the Purple Firmament Palace.

"We can discuss it and reach a conclusion," Hongjun said calmly.

"Reporting to Master, I wish to appoint Junior Brother Haotian and Junior Sister Yaochi as the rulers of the Heavenly Court," Laozi said, bowing.

"Haotian, Yaochi..."

Hongjun pondered for a moment, then looked at his two attendants below and nodded decisively, saying, "In that case, Haotian and Yaochi, you two will serve as the rulers of the Heavenly Court."

"We will follow your orders, Master." The two boys knelt down and bowed to Hongjun.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all the Sage, Hongjun pointed with one hand, and immediately, the two children who had knelt down and raised their heads were no longer children, but had transformed into young men.

The man had striking eyebrows and sharp eyes, exuding an aura of majesty, and his entire body was enveloped in wisps of golden, majestic imperial aura.

To the astonishment of the saints, these wisps of imperial aura faintly took on the shape of a dragon.

The woman beside her was elegant and noble, surrounded by wisps of phoenix aura, exuding an aura of imperial grace.

The changes in the two individuals drew the attention of the saints.

They could see that such imperial and noble aura was not created by Hongjun's Divine Ability, but rather it was something the two of them were born with.

It's just that it was previously concealed, and because he looked like a child, it was difficult to tell.

The sages, now fully aware of the situation, all turned to look at Laozi remained expressionless.

"From this day forward, Haotian, you are the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court. I bestow upon you the Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Haotian Mirror, the Haotian Pagoda, and the Haotian Seal, to manage the Primordial World and maintain the operation of the Heavenly Dao."

"Yaochi, you shall sit on the throne of the Queen Mother of Heavenly Court. I bestow upon you the Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Heaven and Earth Treasure Hairpin and Plain Cloud Realm Flag, as well as the Innate Spirit Root, the Peach of Immortality Tree. You shall assist Haotian in managing the Heavenly Court and harmonizing Yin and Yang."

"Thank you, Master!" Haotian and Yaochi accepted the treasure and bowed to Hongjun again in gratitude.

Seeing that Hongjun had just made a move with six Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure and a single Innate Spirit Root, all the saints felt a deep sense of malice surging forth.

They had assumed that Hongjun was penniless after his sermon and distribution of treasures, but upon closer inspection... they realized that Hongjun's wealth was beyond their wildest imagination.

As Sage... their poverty is truly appalling!

After bestowing the Law Treasure, Dao Ancestor Hongjun turned to look at the various sages.

"Haotian and Yaochi are also my disciples. For the sake of you fellow disciples, you should also lend a hand in the affairs of the Heavenly Court."

Yuanshi and Tongtian looked at each other in bewilderment.

Previously in the Purple Firmament Palace, both Nüwa and Jieyin made it clear that they would not participate in the affairs of the Heavenly Court, especially Jieyin, who was still squeezed out by Yuanshi.

A Sage's word is never disobeyed.

At this time, only the Three Purities could help the Heavenly Court.

"Very well! Yuanshi, Tongtian, you two will come with me, leaving one of your avatars in the Heavenly Court."

"For now, we will shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the operation of this Primordial World universe. Once Junior Brother Haotian and Junior Sister Yaochi have established the basic framework of the Heavenly Court, the three avatars will live in seclusion within the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing Laozi's words, Nüwa Jieyin cursed him as treacherous.

The workings of this Primordial World universe still need your support.

As for the three avatars residing in the Heavenly Court, for Sage, it doesn't matter whether there are three avatars or even more.

Moreover, since they've already gone into seclusion, they should naturally not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary.

They had no duties, yet they rightfully entered the Heavenly Court and occupied several fertile lands in the Heavenly Realm.

After all the Sage have departed.

Purple Firmament Palace.

Hongjun gazed at Haotian and Yaochi below and said calmly, "Have you two ever resented your senior brothers?"

"I don't resent it."

Haotian and Yaochi shook their heads simultaneously.

Haotian was naturally aware of the methods and schemes of the Three Purities, but although he spent most of his time in the Purple Firmament Palace, he was able to cultivate to the Quasi-Sage.

These two were not the kind of people who complained or blamed others.

Moreover, although he could not assign tasks to the Three Purities avatars residing in the Heavenly Court, their mere title was enough to awe the Primordial World.

For them at this point, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"It's good that you don't complain!" Hongjun nodded.

"In that case, you two should go! Rebuild the Heavenly Court as soon as possible and govern the Primordial World." Hongjun said, pausing slightly before continuing.

"The master is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and is in seclusion for cultivation. He will not emerge except during a great calamity. If you two encounter any difficulties, you may travel to the East Sea to seek out fellow Daoists who Changsheng."

Haotian and Yaochi were both slightly taken aback, as they naturally knew of Ao Changsheng.

As Hongjun's attendants, the two rarely avoided Hongjun's conversations with the other sages.

"In the future, out of respect for me, he might help you both."

After Hongjun finished speaking, he disappeared silently before Haotian and Yaochi's eyes without waiting for their reaction.

"Respectfully seeing off the esteemed master!"

Haotian and Yaochi bowed deeply, and after a few seconds, they stood up and exchanged a glance.

"Haotian, are we going to the Primordial World now to rebuild the Heavenly Court?" Yaochi asked, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"No, we're going to the East Sea! We're going to find the Changsheng senior the master mentioned..."

Unlike Yaochi's bewilderment, Haotian possessed an astonishing brilliance.

Yaochi was taken aback and looked at Haotian with some surprise.

Didn't the master say before that we should only seek out Senior Changsheng when we were in trouble?

On the shores of the East Sea.

"Is this the East Sea? It is indeed vast..." Yaochi gazed at the vast East Sea, feeling the sea breeze, and looked completely at ease.

While Haotian, standing to the side, didn't react as enthusiastically as Yaochi, there was still joy in his eyes.

Although he has existed for billions of years, he has always been by Hongjun's side. Before Hongjun became a saint, he also spent some time traveling in the Primordial World.

But after Hongjun became a saint...

They spent most of their time in the Purple Firmament Palace, occasionally wandering through the Chaos, but the Primordial World remained elusive for a very long time.

"Haotian, how do we find the senior's dojo?" Yaochi turned to Haotian and asked.

"I've heard that several great battles that shocked the Primordial World took place outside of Changsheng Changsheng's Daoist temple," Haotian said in a deep voice.

"If we can find a Grand Daluo Golden Immortal in the East Sea, we should be able to find out the location of Changsheng Changsheng's Daoist temple."

After saying this, the two stood in mid-air and flew towards the depths of the East Sea at an extremely fast speed.

Both of them were Quasi-Sage, and they were by Hongjun's side. Their cultivation was so solid that it would put more than 90% of the Quasi-Sage in the Primordial World to shame.

In just three days, the two had already ventured deep into the East Sea.

Suddenly, Haotian and Yaochi looked up at the same time, their brows furrowed as they looked to their right.

"There... seems to be something there?" Yaochi asked doubtfully.

"Hmm, very peculiar spatial fluctuations. They're not in the Primordial World, but hidden in the void, and I sensed holy might within them."

Haotian frowned slightly.

In the Primordial World, besides the Sage, these two were undoubtedly the ones who understood the sage's power the most.

They not only followed Hongjun for billions of years, but they also met the Six Sages of the Primordial World more than once.

"Holy Might..."

"Could this be the Daoist temple of the Elder Changsheng?"

Yaochi guessed with delight.

"No... I've never heard of Changsheng's Daoist temple being hidden in the void, but the Holy Might of the East Sea..."

Haotian suddenly recalled the words of the saints he had overheard in front of the Purple Firmament Palace, and vaguely, he seemed to have guessed something.

Haotian hesitated slightly, then a resolute look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Yaochi, let's go take a look."
