Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 43: Paying homage to the Heavenly Emperor, bestowing the title of Wenchang and Wenqu, holding the head of the primordial literary path, and receiving the literary patronage of the world.

During the Lich Wars, the Heavenly Court was shattered, and the nine Great Thousand Worlds within it were also destroyed. Later, the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao intervened, creating the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the Heavenly Court reappeared on the primordial land.

Regarding the selection of the Heavenly Emperor, any being in the primordial world could be chosen, and Haotian was among them. He carried the will of the Dao Ancestor and went through 124,800 tribulations to become the Haotian Emperor, ruling the Zhou Heaven and dominating the primordial world. His cultivation was unfathomable.

After Haotian became the Heavenly Emperor, he and the Queen Mother of the West, through years of hard work, gradually built up the makeshift organization that had been established under the Xuanmen Heavenly Court.

Although its power could not compare to the Heavenly Court during the Lich Wars, it was still much stronger than when he first became the Heavenly Emperor.

It has millions of heavenly soldiers, hundreds of thousands of heavenly generals, and countless gods and immortals, and it can maintain the basic operation of the Heavenly Dao, but its power is not prominent in the prehistoric world...

The lack of top-tier combat power and powerful figures has hindered the efforts of Haotian and Yaochi Jinmu in recruiting rogue cultivators from the prehistoric world with peaches of immortality over the years.

On this day, three streaks of light came from afar, their imposing presence causing even the guards of the South Heavenly Gate to take a closer look.

He could sense that all three were highly skilled cultivators, and two of them were completely beyond his comprehension.

It was Su Shao Chen, Luo Xuan, and Lü Yue.

Su Shao Chen had handsome features, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and an ethereal temperament. He wore a black robe and silver boots as he landed outside the South Heavenly Gate.

Luo Xuan wore a fish-tail crown and a bright red Bagua robe, while Lü Yue wore a bright red robe and had a face as blue as indigo. The two of them also landed outside the South Heavenly Gate.

"May I ask the three immortals what brings you to the Heavenly Court? Do you require our permission to report?" the guard of the South Heavenly Gate respectfully inquired.

"Thank you, Heavenly General. Please tell them that Luo Xuan and Lü Yue, the second-generation disciples of our Jie Sect, and Su Shao Chen, the third-generation disciple, have come to pay their respects," Su Shao Chen said.

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper dared not delay and hurriedly instructed the other heavenly generals to attend to the three immortals while he went to report.

These brothers were assigned to guard the South Heavenly Gate for tens of thousands of years, and were highly regarded by the old man Taibai Jinxing, precisely because of their steady nature and keen insight.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, they have seen various immortals visit and various forces come, but there are really not many disciples under the sage.

The sudden visit of a disciple of the Sage has made the Heavenly Guardians dare not neglect him. Moreover, disciples of the Sage do not come to the Heavenly Court casually; since they have come, it must be for something important…

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Haotian said to Taibai Jinxing beside him, "A high-ranking disciple of the Jie Sect has come to visit outside. Please go and meet him in my place."

Venus also cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will obey the Heavenly Emperor's command."

On the other side, Su Shao Chen, Luo Xuan, and Lü Yue also observed the strange phenomena in the Heavenly Court while waiting.

The Heavenly Court is filled with endless auspicious clouds, rich in innate spiritual energy, and abundant in rare and precious natural treasures. The spiritual lakes and immortal mountains are countless, and a large number of rare birds and beasts live, play, and reproduce there.

Before long, Venus hurriedly came over and greeted Su Shao Chen, Luo Xuan, and Lü Yue with a smile, "This humble Daoist Venus greets all the esteemed disciples of the Jie Sect. The Heavenly Emperor invites you."

"Thank you for your trouble," Luo Xuan said politely upon seeing the other party.

"Please, don't mention it. The Heavenly Emperor is very happy that you have come to the Heavenly Court. This is what I should do." Taibai Jinxing waved his hand and said, as if he was always a nice guy.

Su Shao Chen looked at the old man dressed as Taibai Jinxing. Su Shao Chen couldn't sense his cultivation level, but he guessed that he was at least at the Taiyi realm, or even the Daluo realm...

Luo Xuan sensed that Taibai Jinxing was at the peak of the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, just one step away from breaking through to the high stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Although his realm and aura were concealed, Luo Xuan could still feel the killing intent of Geng metal on this person.

Venus, seemingly a kind-hearted person, is actually quite cunning and a confidant of the Heavenly Emperor…

Sometimes, his words are even the words of Haotian!

The opponent was not visible during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, but had a significant role during the rise of Buddhism.

As the four walked along, Venus enthusiastically introduced the environment of the Heavenly Court and some unusual phenomena to Su Shao Chen and the other two, which Su Shao Chen, Luo Xuan, and Lü Yue listened to with great interest.

The further you go in, the more celestial palaces, pavilions, and towers you see. The towers, built with various spiritual materials, become increasingly magnificent and imposing.

These pavilions were inhabited by immortals. With just a casual glance, Su Shao Chen discovered some True Immortals, Mystic Immortals, Golden Immortals, and even a peak Golden Immortal, who vaguely resembled a half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Before long, the four of them arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace. Taibai Jinxing escorted the three of them there and then left.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West received Luo Xuan, Su Shao Chen, and Lü Yue.

They were naturally familiar with Luo Xuan and Lü Yue, as they were outer disciples of the Jie Sect and both possessed the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Su Shao Chen, on the other hand, is a rising star in the last thousand years. He became a Golden Immortal after studying under Yun Xiao for thousands of years. He has great potential and may even become a Quasi-Saint in the future.

He was bestowed with spiritual treasures when the sage preached the Dao, and gained merits many times. He was called the Ancestor of Literature and Daoism and Emperor Wenchang by the human race, and he proved his divine position as the God of Wenqu Star.

There was a major event during his entry into the Netherworld, which seemed to involve even a sage...

"Luo Xuan and Lü Yue of the Jie Sect greet the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother."

"Su Shao Chen, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, greets the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother."

The three of them bowed and greeted the Lingxiao Palace upon entering.

"Very well, you need not be so polite. I also come from the Xuanmen sect. If we really want to talk about it, I am your senior." Haotian said with a faint smile.

His language did not convey the slightest sense of the Heavenly Emperor's majesty; instead, it gave people a feeling of being courteous to the virtuous and gentle, with a tone as warm as a spring breeze.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. They had two Taiyi Golden Immortals and one high-ranking Golden Immortal to join the Heavenly Court. If they still acted high and mighty, then they definitely wouldn't be Haotian, who had gone through 124,800 tribulations.

Haotian, who has survived countless tribulations and succeeded, is a force to be reckoned with at any time. His patience and cunning are second to none in the primordial world...

When Huode Star and Wenshen Star were acting strangely, Haotian made a deduction. This deduction not only made him realize that someone had entered the Heavenly Court, but it was also as if a message from the dark had entered his mind. After reading the message in his mind, he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but then he returned to normal.

Although I knew Luo Xuan and Lü Yue were coming, I still had to be polite.

Haotian then continued, "May I ask what brings you here today?"

Su Shao Chen also cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the three of us have come here to serve the Heavenly Court."

"I have been favored by Heaven and have been granted the position of Wenqu Star Lord. Since the primordial world is under the control of the Heavenly Emperor, and I have now been granted a divine position, I shall come to pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor."

"When I visited my master on Jin'ao Island, I received a decree from the sage, granting me the right to travel on Jin'ao Island. I met my uncles Luo Xuan and Lü Yue, both of whom were at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level. They had long admired the Heavenly Court and were also destined to be in the Heavenly Court. Upon hearing that I had entered the Heavenly Court, they came together to pay their respects to the Heavenly Emperor."

Su Shao Chen spoke eloquently, which brought a smile to Hao Tian's face.

Since he became the Heavenly Emperor, although he tried his best to recruit wandering immortals from all realms, not a single disciple of a sage came to him. He had invited disciples of sages to serve in the Heavenly Court, but without exception, they all refused...

These disciples of the sages, though seemingly respectful to the Heavenly Court, were in reality disdainful. Now that Su Shao Chen had brought two second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level to submit to the Heavenly Court, he was naturally very satisfied.

Moreover, Su Shao Chen himself has a special identity; he is the first person to formally pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Court as a disciple of a sage.

As for that person who taught Bian Zhuang, he entered the Heavenly Court purely to coast along...

Su Shao Chen was not only valued by his senior brother Tongtian, but also favored by the Heavenly Dao, proving himself to godhood. He also had three masters, all of whom were quasi-saints.

Although he was in the Heavenly Court, he knew that Qiongxiao had comprehended the path of a Quasi-Saint, and could even foresee the future of the Three Immortals...

If fate allows, through Su Shao Chen, perhaps some of the Three Immortals will also enter the Heavenly Court...
