Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 91 The Jade Emperor is Humiliated, Calamity Begins!

As Panhuang began to bustle with activity, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was held as scheduled. ๑۞๑,¸¸,ø¤º°`°๑۩ 🎀 𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸💍𝓂 🎀 ۩๑°`°º¤ø,¸¸,๑۞๑

However, the scenario that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother had anticipated did not occur. None of the saints they had invited came, which made the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's expressions somewhat unpleasant.

They invited those saints, but those saints didn't give him any face at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they've already lost their sense of reason after achieving some success!" the Great Golden Crow thought to himself with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at the outside of Yaochi. Soon, Guang Chengzi appeared at Yaochi with the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother revealed a rather unpleasant smile. The Sage hadn't come, but their disciple had. That was acceptable; at least the Sage had given him face.

"Are they waiting for us?" Guang Chengzi asked with a smile after arriving at Yaochi and seeing that the banquet had not yet started. His face was full of sarcasm.

Upon hearing Guang Chengzi's words, many people present frowned. Guang Chengzi was not polite at all!

Upon hearing Guang Chengzi's words, the Jade Emperor's face showed some displeasure. Just as he was about to speak, several more figures walked in from outside the Jade Pool.

They were Tongtian's disciple Duobao, Jieyin and Zhunti's disciples Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru, as well as Longxuhu and Jinfeng. Panhuang's disciples did not come.

Pan Huang didn't have time for these superficial projects. The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was about to begin, and planning the Investiture of the Gods was the real priority!

When the Jade Emperor saw that all the other disciples of the sages had arrived, a smug smile appeared on his face. In his view, it was only right that these sages came.

The Dao Ancestor had promised to ask them for help, but at the time, he lacked both strength and influence, so they ignored him.

Now that he has both power and influence, they should help him.

Just as the Jade Emperor was thinking this, Guang Chengzi directly rebuked him, catching the Jade Emperor off guard and even the Queen Mother off guard.

After Guang Chengzi finished cursing, Duobao also started cursing, followed by Maitreya and the Medicine Master, then Longxuhu, and finally Jinfeng.

After they rebuked Emperor Wanyu, Guangchengzi spoke again.

"Get into your proper place, understand?" Guang Chengzi said sarcastically, then left with the Twelve Golden Immortals.

After Guang Chengzi left, Duobao and the others took a deep look at the Jade Emperor before departing as well.

After the sage's disciple left, the entire Jade Pool suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

But after a short while, a faint sound attracted everyone's attention. When they looked up, they saw the Great Golden Crow.

At that moment, the Great Golden Crow was holding a peach in its hand, and the sound was the sound of it eating the peach.

Upon seeing the Great Golden Crow in this state, the Jade Emperor's already gloomy expression darkened even further.

"Don't give me that look. I don't owe you anything. You invited me to this banquet, and of course, you're supposed to eat at a banquet!" The Great Golden Crow retorted without hesitation after seeing the Jade Emperor's unfriendly gaze.

He then took another sip of the fine wine, and with a wave of his hand, he collected the peaches and the fine wine from the table.

"Forget it, we didn't get to eat our fill, let's go back and eat!" the Great Golden Crow said, and then disappeared from the spot.

After the Golden Crow left, the Jade Emperor stood up, snorted coldly, and left Yaochi. The Queen Mother quickly followed.

After the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother left, the others quickly packed up the peaches of immortality, spiritual fruits, and the fine wines and elixirs in front of them, and then hurriedly left the Heavenly Court.

When the Queen Mother arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor had already changed into a gray Taoist robe. Upon seeing the Jade Emperor in his Taoist robe, the Queen Mother was momentarily stunned, as she had not seen him like this for a long time.

"What is this?" the Queen Mother quickly asked.

"Hmph, I'm going to Zixiao Palace to complain. They've gone too far. I don't want to be the Jade Emperor anymore. I want to go back and serve my master," the Jade Emperor said coldly.

Seeing the Jade Emperor like this, the Queen Mother smiled bitterly to herself. She knew that the Jade Emperor's complaint was true, but his claim that he would no longer be the Jade Emperor was probably false. After all, even now, he still referred to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "I") when he spoke, which showed that he still valued the position of the Jade Emperor.

"I'm leaving now." After saying that, the Jade Emperor disappeared from the spot.

Upon arriving in the chaos, the Jade Emperor quickly appeared at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace and knelt down.

"Disciple Haotian requests an audience with Master!" Haotian shouted loudly as he knelt at the entrance of Zixiao Palace.

Seeing that no one responded to him, he was not in a hurry and just knelt quietly in front of the Zixiao Palace.

Inside the Zixiao Palace, when Heavenly Dao Hongjun saw the Jade Emperor outside the palace, a light that was hard to fathom flickered in his eyes.

"You're panicking!" Suddenly, the coldness on Tiandao Hongjun's face disappeared, replaced by a smile.

"Hmph! You want to stop me?" The next second, Hongjun's face turned cold again.

"No, I won't stop you this time. I want to see how you choose. Do you want to use the Sage Sect or the Heavenly Court? In any case, they are both suppressing humanity. Have you thought about which one to use?" Xuanmen Hongjun said with a smile.

The reason why Hongjun of Heaven was unwilling to meet the Jade Emperor was precisely because this matter was difficult to decide.

Although both methods suppress humanity, using sages to suppress humanity is clearly the most correct choice, because this allows the Heavenly Court to temporarily extricate itself from the situation.

If the Heavenly Court, representing the Heavenly Way, were to personally intervene and contend with the Human Way, it would be fine if it won, but if it lost, the Human Way would rise to power, resulting in a situation where the three paths coexist, which is not a scenario the Heavenly Way desires.

Xuanmen Hongjun was very pleased to see Tiandao Hongjun like this. Xuanmen Hongjun was always happy whenever he saw something escape Tiandao's control.

Because of this, one has the opportunity to break free from the state of being in harmony with the Dao, or rather, to directly use the power of the Dao to transcend the Dao.

After thinking for a long time, Heavenly Dao Hongjun finally gritted his teeth and opened the gates of Zixiao Palace.

When the Jade Emperor saw the Zixiao Palace open, an excited expression appeared on his face, and he quickly walked inside.

"Haotian greets Your Majesty!" The Jade Emperor knelt before the Heavenly Dao Hongjun and bowed respectfully.

"I already know why you've come. You should go back now. Someone will contact you about what's to come," Heavenly Dao Hongjun said calmly, glancing at the Jade Emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Jade Emperor nodded.

After the Jade Emperor left, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun sent a message to all the saints, asking them to come to Zixiao Palace for a meeting.

The group was stunned when they received the message from the Heavenly Dao Hongjun. The last time the Dao Ancestor contacted them seemed to be during the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

So what is it that they've been summoned this time?

Upon arriving at Zixiao Palace, Tiandao Hongjun was already waiting for them. After everyone sat down, Tiandao Hongjun sighed.

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing the sigh of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, the group of sages exchanged bewildered glances. They were somewhat confused as to what the Dao Ancestor was doing, and they all turned their gazes toward Laozi.

Laozi lowered his head; the Dao Ancestor was clearly in a bad mood, and he was not about to be the one to stick his neck out.

After a long silence, Heavenly Dao Hongjun suddenly spoke.

"What are your views on the Three Realms? What are your views on the Heavenly Court and the Primordial World?"

Upon hearing Hongjun's question, the group of sages were even more bewildered. What did this mean? Was the Dao Ancestor planning something big?

"Teacher, I think the prehistoric world is very quiet and peaceful now, and the Heavenly Court is also quite good!" Seeing that no one spoke, Zhunti cautiously spoke up.

"Peace? Is the primordial world truly at peace now?" Hongjun glanced at Zhunti indifferently.

This glance made Zhunti's heart leap into his throat; for a moment, he didn't know how to answer Hongjun's question.

"The teacher has improved even more," Lao Tzu suddenly thought to himself.

The moment those words were uttered, a deep sense of powerlessness enveloped him. He had thought that as long as he worked hard enough, he would be able to catch up with his teacher, but now it seemed that it was impossible.
