Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.

They knew that if they couldn't find a reason to distinguish Huanglong, it would be almost certain that Huanglong would become the Heavenly Emperor.

But at that moment, a glint of light flashed in Jieyin's eyes, and he slowly spoke.

"What Senior Brother Taiqing said makes sense, but I still have a little doubt."

"Speak!" the Sage Taiqing uttered softly.

"If Huanglong becomes the Heavenly Emperor, the Three Pure Ones will surely support him with all their might."

"At that time, although the Heavenly Court will not favor any race in the prehistoric world, it will become a vassal of the three senior brothers."

As the guide spoke, the Three Pure Ones' expressions turned grim.

"When the Heavenly Court becomes a vassal of the three senior brothers, will it truly serve the well-being of all living beings in the primordial world, or the well-being of the disciples under the three senior brothers' tutelage?"

These words were extremely clever, shifting the blame from Huanglong to the Three Pure Ones.

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti immediately understood and quickly echoed them.

"Exactly!"

"If Huanglong becomes the Heavenly Emperor, wouldn't the Heavenly Court become the Heavenly Court of the three religions?"

"How can we expect all living beings in the primordial world to believe us?"

Tongtian flew into a rage: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Brother Tongtian, please calm down." A smile appeared on Jieyin's sorrowful face.

"I was merely stating the facts and had no intention of offending anyone."

Seeing that the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Hongjun Daozu finally spoke up.

"alright!"

Hongjun's voice wasn't loud, but it contained supreme authority, instantly suppressing all the disputes.

The six sages looked at Hongjun at the same time.

Hongjun's gaze swept over the saints, his eyes filled with disappointment at their earlier performance.

"Since none of you have agreed on a candidate, I will appoint the Heavenly Emperor."

The six sages exchanged glances but remained silent.

They knew that since their teacher had spoken, it meant that the position of Heavenly Emperor was already decided, and any opposition would be futile.

Hongjun looked outside the hall and said, "Haotian, Yaochi, come in."

The gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened, and two young boys quickly entered the hall, kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"Haotian Yaochi pays respects to Your Excellency and greets all the Sages."

Hongjun looked at Haotian and Yaochi, his expression unusually gentle.

"Haotian and Yaochi, you have followed me for countless years, serving me diligently and tirelessly. Today, I will accept you two as my disciples."

Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti all showed expressions of astonishment.

Haotian and Yaochi were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

The next moment, an indescribable excitement welled up in my heart.

Although they served the Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace, they were nominally just attendants, not disciples.

Now that the Dao Ancestor is personally accepting disciples, it means that their status will undergo a tremendous change.

"Disciple Haotian/Yaochi pays respects to Master."

Haotian and Yaochi kowtowed three times heavily, their foreheads striking the cold ground with a crisp sound.

"Thank you for your mercy, Teacher!"

Their voices trembled slightly with excitement.

Get up!

Haotian and Yaochi stood up, exchanged a glance, and then respectfully bowed to the six saints.

"Haotian [Yaochi] greets Senior Brother Sanqing, Senior Sister Nuwa, and Senior Brothers Jieyin and Zhunti."

The six sages nodded stiffly in response.

The two boys they had just dismissed were now their junior brothers and sisters.

At this moment, the Dao Ancestor raised his hand, and two beams of spiritual light flew out from his hand, entering Haotian and Yaochi's bodies respectively.

In an instant, Haotian and Yaochi's bodies underwent earth-shattering changes.

The two men's vitality grew rapidly, like bamboo shoots sprouting in spring, transforming them from eleven or twelve-year-old children into twenty-one-year-old youths.

Haotian wore a black Taoist robe, had a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and exuded a heroic aura.

Yaochi was dressed in a white palace gown, her appearance was delicate and beautiful, and her temperament and makeup were noble!

The aura emanating from the two caused the pupils of the six saints to shrink simultaneously.

Quasi-Saint!

Although it is only the initial manifestation of a Quasi-Saint, it has already surpassed the Great Luo realm.

Haotian and Yaochi were merely servants in the Zixiao Palace, yet they possessed the cultivation of quasi-saints.

Hongjun looked at Haotian and Yaochi and slowly said:

"Today, the Heavenly Court is empty, the laws of heaven and earth are in disorder, and the stars in the celestial sphere have been extinguished. Therefore, I hereby appoint Haotian as the Heavenly Emperor and Yaochi as the Queen Mother, to jointly govern the Heavenly Court, regulate the laws of heaven and earth, and revive the stars in the celestial sphere."

Upon hearing this, both Haotian and Yaochi were taken aback.

They naturally knew about the Heavenly Emperor.

Once upon a time, Di Jun was the Heavenly Emperor, leading the demon race, occupying the Heavenly Realm, commanding all races, and enjoying boundless glory.

The Queen Mother is the Heavenly Empress, who jointly governs the Heavenly Court with the Heavenly Emperor.

They never expected that their teacher would entrust them with such an important position.

But the moment of surprise was only a fleeting moment. Haotian and Yaochi immediately knelt down and respectfully said, "We obey our teacher's decree."

The six sages looked at Haotian and Yaochi, who had been chosen by the Dao Ancestor, and sensed the quasi-sage aura emanating from them. None of them spoke up to stop them.

The Three Pure Ones remained silent, though they felt some regret that Huanglong had failed to become the Heavenly Emperor.

But the moment the Dao Ancestor spoke, they knew that the position of Heavenly Emperor was no longer within Huanglong's reach.

Nuwa remained silent, for whoever became the Heavenly Emperor would not affect her status as a sage.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at Haotian and Yaochi, their faces showing resentment, but they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They would be content as long as it wasn't a disciple of the Three Pure Ones who became the Heavenly Emperor.

Haotian Yaochi and his two attendants, though accepted as disciples by the Dao Ancestor, had shallow foundations. Even if they became Heavenly Emperors, they would find it difficult to achieve anything significant.

This is the best possible outcome for Western religions.

Hongjun then waved his hand again.

Several magical treasures exuding profound Daoist charm flew out from his sleeves and hovered in front of Haotian and Yaochi respectively.

Before Haotian was a precious mirror, its surface reflecting the light of the sun, moon, and stars, radiating a vast aura of the Heavenly Dao. It was a supreme innate spiritual treasure.

Beside the precious mirror, a nine-story pagoda slowly rotated, its body radiating golden light. Bells hung from the eaves of each story, swaying gently and producing melodious sounds. Its rank had reached the superior level of the innate realm.

Before the Jade Pool, a plain-colored flag was unfurled, with cloud patterns moving across its surface, exuding an aura of endless mystery.

The Plain Cloud Banner, one of the Five Elements Banners, is a supreme innate spiritual treasure.

Beside the flag, a golden hairpin floats, radiating a sharp light!

In addition, there were several low-grade and mid-grade innate spiritual treasures, radiating brilliant light.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa showed a hint of surprise on their faces, but quickly recovered. Although these spiritual treasures were good, they were not worth their attention.

Zhunti and Jieyin looked at the magical treasures, a hint of jealousy flashing in their eyes, but they quickly suppressed it.
