Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

This senior uncle seems to have a lot on his plate!

Huang Long hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and walked towards Lingxiao Palace.

Haotian wouldn't call him back for no reason; if he did, there must be a reason.

Haotian was not alone in the Lingxiao Palace this time.

The Queen Mother of the West sat on a phoenix chair beside Haotian, dressed in a seven-colored robe and wearing a phoenix crown, her face dignified and beautiful.

Emperor Donghua stood to the side, hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed.

He is the most senior immortal in the Heavenly Court, and the initial framework of the entire Heavenly Court was built little by little by Emperor Donghua.

He is an indispensable pillar of the Heavenly Court, but his cultivation level has always remained at the peak of the Great Luo realm.

The three nodded to Huang Long as he entered.

Huanglong stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor, the Queen Mother, and Fellow Daoist Donghua."

Haotian didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Huanglong, I've called you here today because there's an important matter to discuss."

He stood up, walked to the center of the Lingxiao Palace, and raised his hand to unleash a beam of spiritual light.

The light spread out in the air, transforming into a panoramic view of the primordial heavenly court.

The celestial palace in the picture is majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist, with palaces stretching as far as the eye can see, creating a magnificent and ever-changing scene.

"Huanglong," Haotian finally spoke, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "Look at the North Heavenly Gate."

With a wave of his hand, the image in the spiritual water mirror in the Lingxiao Palace switched, showing the real-time scene of the North Heavenly Gate.

The North Heavenly Gate is the only gate of the Heavenly Court that is still in operation. The gate tower is towering, and hundreds of celestial soldiers in full armor stand on both sides of the gate.

At this moment, a group of heavenly soldiers flew out from the North Heavenly Gate, led by a heavenly general at the Golden Immortal realm, followed by more than twenty heavenly soldiers at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Just as they flew out of the radiation range of the North Heavenly Gate, seven or eight dark figures suddenly darted out from the clouds below.

Those dark figures were incredibly fast and ruthless, taking down the three heavenly soldiers at the very first encounter.

The Heavenly General roared and drew his sword to fight, but as soon as his sword light appeared, it was suppressed by two dark figures working together.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour. More than ten of the twenty-odd heavenly soldiers were seriously injured, and the heavenly general himself had his protective aura torn open by a black claw shadow, with demonic energy corroding his flesh and blood.

After succeeding in their attack, the dark figures did not linger and quickly disappeared into the clouds below, vanishing without a trace.

Tianjiang clutched the wound on his shoulder, watching his seriously injured colleague being carried back to Beitianmen. His expression was a mix of anger and helplessness.

Clearly, this is not the first time.

Since the Heavenly Tribulation was established, the demon race of Beiju Luzhou has gone mad, specifically targeting any living beings entering or leaving the Northern Heavenly Gate.

Once the Heavenly Court's soldiers left the Heavenly Gate and entered the territory of Beiju Luzhou, they would make their move.

They act with great restraint, never causing any casualties, but damaging the very foundation of their Dao.

They hit and ran, never lingering.

Beiju Luzhou is the territory of the demon race. Unless Haotian Yaochi personally intervenes, no other immortals dare to enter the Heavenly Court!

The Heavenly Court's soldiers chased after them, but could only drag their broken bodies back. The number of casualties was increasing, and now the Heavenly Court had no good way to deal with the demon race.

Huang Long looked at the scene in the water mirror, and his expression darkened.

"How long has this been going on?" he asked.

"After the Heavenly Tribulation was established," Yaochi put down her teacup, her voice cold, "they not only attacked the Heavenly Court personnel, but also those beings who wanted to join the Heavenly Court became their main targets."

"The Northern Heavenly Gate is the only passage connecting the Heavenly Court to the Primordial World." Haotian turned around, his gaze fixed on Huanglong. "If it is blocked by the demon race, what face will the Heavenly Court have left? What authority will it have to rule the Three Realms? Will those primordial beings still be willing to join our Heavenly Court?"

His voice echoed in the empty hall, each word carrying the wrath of the Heavenly Emperor.

Haotian paused, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. "If I could, I would truly like to kill Bai Ze, Shang Yang, and Jiu Ying all at once?"

Huanglong raised his head and looked at Haotian in surprise.

Haotian gave a bitter smile: "Don't worry, I was just saying. The reason I killed Yingzhao and the other demon saints was because it was in the Heavenly Court. Yingzhao and the others were blinded by the karma of the demon race, and their strength was not at its peak. I used the power of the Heavenly Realm's origin to kill them."

He shook his head as he said this.

"However, on the primordial land, to kill three Quasi-Saints at the same time, Bai Ze, Shang Yang, and Jiu Ying are all veteran Quasi-Saints who have lived for countless years."

"Their cultivation may not be as high as it used to be, but if the three of them join forces, no one can kill them on the primordial land unless a sage personally intervenes."

Yaochi picked up the conversation, a hint of helplessness in her voice: "And a sage would never intervene...!"

Upon hearing this, Huanglong fully understood Haotian's predicament.

The demon race occupied Beiju Luzhou, blocking the exit of the North Heavenly Gate.

You can't kill it by hitting it, and you can't drive it away by chasing it.

The Heavenly Court is invincible in the Heavenly Realm. With the blessing of the Heavenly Realm's origin, Haotian and Yaochi's strength far surpasses that of ordinary Quasi-Saints at their peak.

However, once they left the Heavenly Realm and entered the Primordial Land, this blessing disappeared. With Haotian and Yaochi's cultivation levels, it was simply impossible for them to kill the three Demon Saints.

This is a dead end.

Huang Long was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, Uncle-Master summoned me here to reopen the two Heavenly Gates in the southeast?"

Haotian glanced at him, and a genuine smile finally appeared on his lips: "It's so much easier to talk to smart people."

He raised his hand again, and the image on the spiritual water mirror changed once more. This time, instead of displaying the real-time scene of the primordial land, the water mirror showed three frozen images.

In the first image, the Northern Heavenly Gate stands majestically amidst the clouds, exuding grandeur. Before the gate, celestial soldiers and generals patrol in formation. Despite the constant troubles in Beiju Luzhou, the Northern Heavenly Gate itself remains intact.

The second and third images, however, depict a scene of ruins.

Huang Long recognized the two ruins at a glance.

The Southern Heavenly Gate on Jambudvipa and the Eastern Heavenly Gate on Victory Continent.

Once one of the three major gates of the Heavenly Court, it is now nothing but ruins.

Back then, the Wu tribe's Butu Heavenly Fiend Array destroyed the East and South Heavenly Gates, and it was never restored until the end of the Wu-Demon War!

Haotian nodded: "That's right. Yaochi and I have explored both of these Heavenly Gate ruins. With our cultivation as quasi-saints, plus the blessing of the Heavenly Realm's origin, we are confident that we can re-establish the spatial passage, but it will also cause irreparable damage to the Heavenly Realm."

"To break through the Heavenly Gate, we need to break through the barrier between the Heavenly Realm and the Primordial World. This process will generate huge spatial shocks. If there are not enough means to imprison spacetime, the shock waves will affect the entire Heavenly Realm."

He paused, his gaze falling on Huanglong: "That's why I need your... innate treasure."
