Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 62 The Saints Gather Again at Zixiao Palace, and the Heavenly Court Is Re-established

This time, the Tongtian Sect Leader's sermon was indeed still about the principles of Xuanxian, Jinxian, and Taiyi Jinxian, with a focus on Shennong, which shows how much this sect leader valued the Human Emperor.

Like Fuxi, Shennong possessed exceptional comprehension. Although he was not the reincarnation of a great supernatural being, his cultivation progressed rapidly. After three hundred years of listening to lectures, this Earthly Emperor's cultivation had reached the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he was not far from becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Three hundred years later, the Tongtian Sect Leader fell silent, ending his sermon. He then said, "The Dao Ancestor has summoned me; I must go to the Zixiao Palace. All matters, large and small, of the Jie Sect shall be handled by Duobao, Wudang, Jinling, Guiling, and Hundunzi. You are all forbidden from causing trouble; each of you should cultivate diligently."

As Tongtian Jiaozhu disappeared, Chaos Daojun revealed a hint of curiosity. Could it be that the Dao Ancestor summoned him this time to deal with matters concerning the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Heavenly Court?

Yes, the Thirty-Three Heavens are of utmost importance. This great calamity has passed for six or seven thousand years, and the Xuanmen has already shown some promise and is ready to be used. Naturally, the Heavenly Dao has taken action.

Thinking of this, Chaos Dao Lord shook his head slightly. Like Fuxi, he took Shennong to meet his many senior uncles and senior masters, and then swept around the fellow disciples of the Jie Sect, helping Shennong obtain a large sum of benefits.

Now, the wealthy fellow disciples are in a better position, while those who are struggling are terrified when they see Chaos Dao Lord leading his disciples around.

They really couldn't come up with anything good, and they didn't want to lose face in front of the younger generation of the Jie Sect, so they could only avoid the Chaos Dao Lord and his disciple from a distance.

Leaving aside the fact that Chaos Daoist returned to Chendu with Shennong, the six sages of the primordial world received a summons from Dao Ancestor Hongjun and returned to the long-lost "Zixiao Palace".

At this moment, a boy and a girl stood at the entrance of the "Zixiao Palace" and welcomed the six saints inside.

"Greetings, teacher!"

Having not seen Hongjun Daozu for many years, the six sages felt that Hongjun's aura was even more ethereal, and they dared not fathom it. The six sages felt a tightness in their hearts. It seemed that after not seeing him for many years and after merging with the Dao, Hongjun had become even more powerful.

The saints set aside their arrogance and, as if it were their first time attending a lecture at the "Purple Cloud Palace," they bowed deeply to their teacher.

"Sit down!"

On the futon of the Daoist altar, the voice of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was ethereal, always in harmony with the Dao of Heaven, his aura as deep and vast as the sea.

"The Great Tribulation of the Lich King has passed, settling the great karmic debt between the two races. During this tribulation, the Xuanmen (mystical sects) flourished, and the human race prospered, becoming the protagonist of the primordial world, ruling over the six directions and eight corners." Hongjun glanced at the six sages before him and continued, "At this time, the Thirty-Three Heavens are empty, and it is necessary to re-establish the Heavenly Court. What are your opinions, the six of you?"

"Teacher! The Heavenly Court originally belonged to the demon race. Now that Di Jun and Tai Yi are gone, there are still Heavenly Emperor bloodlines in the world. They should inherit the position of Heavenly Emperor and rebuild the Heavenly Court." Nuwa was the first to speak.

"Hmph! Impossible! In the last great calamity, the Wu and Yao races disrupted the primordial world, shattering heaven and earth and affecting countless lives. How can they possibly reclaim the Heavenly Court after committing such a heinous crime?" Yuanshi Tianzun sneered, being the first to object. He then added, "In this great calamity, the Xuanmen (mystical sect) is flourishing. My Chan Sect is educating the beings of the primordial world and should naturally rebuild the Heavenly Court. My disciple, the Antarctic Immortal, is worthy to be the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Hmph! My Jie Sect also teaches all living beings! One of our disciples has already become a Heavenly Emperor. Chaos Child has great opportunities and great merits, and can become the Heavenly Emperor!" Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to seize power, Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately objected.

Anyone can become the ruler of Heaven, except for the Chan Sect!

The doctrines of the two sects are very different. If the Chan sect gains power, wouldn't the Jie sect be severely suppressed?

The Heavenly Court holds a pivotal position in the primordial world. As the nominal ruler of the primordial world, it occupies the legitimate position and is blessed with boundless fortune, making it a place that no saint from any side is willing to miss.

"Teacher! Our Western religion has always been benevolent to people. My disciple Maitreya has great merit and can become the Heavenly Emperor!" Even though the chances were slim, Zhunti couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.

"Hmph! The Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms! It is the supreme celestial court of the East. How dare you, the heretical sects of the West, covet it?" The senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, who had been silent all along, immediately spoke up in opposition.

"That's right! This is a matter for the East! You Westerners have no right to interfere!"

When facing outsiders, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu simultaneously rebuked Jieyin and Zhunti, causing the two saints of the Western Sect to blush with rage.

"We'll have to do it again someday!"

The two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, exchanged a glance and naturally understood each other's thoughts. They were both deeply resentful of being suppressed by the Xuanmen sect, and countless storms were bound to follow in their future.

Suddenly, the ancient and silent "Purple Cloud Palace" erupted into a commotion. The six sages argued fiercely, their faces flushed with anger. Even the serene and inactive Lao Tzu pointed out that the Grand Master Xuandu should inherit the position of Heavenly Emperor.

"Since you are arguing endlessly and unable to reach a decision, then I will appoint someone! Haotian, Yaochi, you two step forward."

While the saints were still arguing over the position of Heavenly Emperor, Hongjun Daozu frowned slightly, waved his hand, and decisively arranged the future ruler of the Three Realms.

Originally, the two boys standing at the entrance of the hall found it quite amusing to listen to the arguing among the officials. Little did they expect that the Dao Ancestor would suddenly call their names. The two boys dared not delay and quickly entered the hall and knelt down in worship.

"Master, your disciple has arrived."

Hongjun Daozu looked at the two boys, pointed his finger, and Haotian and Yaochi were enveloped in a clear light, instantly transforming into a beautiful young man and woman.

"With this re-establishment of the Heavenly Court, you two have been given a fortuitous opportunity. Haotian shall become the Jade Emperor of Heaven, ruling over the Three Realms; Yaochi shall become the Queen Mother, leading all the female immortals of the primordial world."

Upon hearing Hongjun Daozu's words, the two attendants were stunned. They quickly realized what was happening and were overjoyed. They kowtowed repeatedly, expressing their gratitude for Daozu's compassion.

The Lord of Heaven and Earth, a position of great esteem, had such a great opportunity fall upon two boys. The six sages looked at each other, knowing they had been tricked by the Dao Ancestor. This was a pre-planned scheme; the Dao Ancestor had simply used their infighting to silence them and gain their trust.

"These two top-grade innate spiritual treasures are bestowed upon you two. You shall use these treasures to suppress the Heavenly Court's fortune."

Hongjun then took out two items and gave them to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, two lucky individuals whom he had bestowed upon him with his own words.

The six sages looked on with envy.

These two treasures are the "Plain Cloud Banner" and the "Haotian Mirror".

The "Plain Cloud Banner" was originally one of the Five Elements Banners of the Primordial World. In the future, it can summon and govern the immortals appointed by the Heavenly Realm. Its defense is extremely strong. When this treasure is used, one is invincible. The "Haotian Mirror" can observe the Thirty-Three Heavens above and illuminate the Nine Netherworlds below. It is excellent in both offense and defense and belongs to the top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

"Thank you for your grace, Teacher! We will certainly manage the Three Realms well and live up to your expectations!"

Regardless of whether Hongjun cared or not, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother kept bowing and thanking him.
