Primordial Era: The Sun Emperor

Seeing that no one dared to act recklessly anymore, Taiyi narrowed his golden eyes and a thought crossed his mind.

The Chaos Bell, suspended beside him, swayed slightly.

The bell itself did not ring; only an invisible ripple spread out silently.

With the bell facing downwards, chaotic energy slowly descended like a curtain, and then figures appeared from within it.

First one, then ten, then a hundred, more than four hundred figures emerged one after another, lined up neatly behind Taiyi.

The Star Lords and all the innate beings, each possessing the fortune of the Heavenly Court, stood solemnly. Although their cultivation levels varied, they were all Taiyi Golden Immortals, which could be considered the backbone of the force.

More than four hundred people appeared together, their momentum forming a single force.

The gods in front of Zixiao Palace reacted with varying expressions upon seeing this.

They had only assumed that Taiyi had come alone, but little did they know that the Heavenly Emperor had brought a large Heavenly army with him.

The Chaos Bell contains a universe within it; such methods are truly astonishing.

Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back, his golden eyes calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

Behind him stood more than four hundred figures, silent as iron, standing solemnly.

Although they were inside the bell, Taiyi did not seal their six senses, so they all sensed what had just happened.

The newly joined Taiyi Golden Immortals were all shocked.

As expected of the Heavenly Emperor, with such formidable combat power, it's no wonder he dares to be so domineering.

"Brother, this Taiyi is far too arrogant! The sage is giving a sermon, such a grand event, and he's brought so many subordinates! The sage's sermon isn't just for him alone!"

Nearby, Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones, was somewhat indignant, feeling that Taiyi had desecrated the grand event, and sent a message to Daode Tianzun.

"Second brother, speak less. Although the three of us are the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, we should not rely on the legacy of Pangu to criticize others."

The Celestial Venerable of Morality remained unmoved and transmitted his voice in secret.

With their level of cultivation, their ability to transmit sound secretly is naturally difficult to intercept. In fact, if the other party does not have a high level of understanding of spatial laws, it would be very difficult for them to even detect it.

"Yes, second brother, what kind of being is a sage? He has the hearts of all living beings in his heart. How could he be angered by this? A sage has infinite means. If he really wanted to pursue this matter, he would never go to such lengths."

Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun also agreed with his elder brother's statement.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun said no more, but he was still somewhat displeased.

But out of respect for his elder brother's authority, he couldn't say much.

"Elder brother, Taiyi is too domineering. His actions will offend many people. Do we really still want to befriend him?" Nuwa always listened to her elder brother Fuxi.

The two of them took human form at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, and they also had their own cave dwellings on Buzhou Mountain.

You could say he was Taiichi's neighbor.

When Taiyi established the Heavenly Court, they tried to go up there, but found that there was no way to get up there. At that time, the Heavenly Court was still closed.

Fuxi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then transmitted his voice, saying, "Let's observe further."

Many people were dissatisfied with Taiyi's actions, but no one dared to speak out.

Taiyi's establishment of authority just now was very successful.

As the saying goes, "A single punch can prevent a hundred more."

When faced with provocation and insults, Taiyi has always believed in responding with a punch.

If you can hold on, this will pass.

Couldn't hold on? That's all in the past now.

After some time, many more people arrived, numbering over three thousand.

The three-thousand-year period has arrived. The bells in Zixiao Palace rang, and the palace gates slowly opened, from which two young Taoist disciples walked out.

Taiyi transmitted his thoughts: "Stand beside me in a moment and enter with me. There is a futon inside; sit down with me, and you will receive a great opportunity."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Ziwei understands the implications."

Ziwei was surprised to hear this, but still agreed.

He didn't know how Taiyi knew such a secret, but by now, he was completely convinced of Taiyi's abilities.

Whether it's establishing the Heavenly Court or leading everyone to the Purple Cloud Palace, these are things he cannot do.

He hadn't even considered that he could do that.

Now, he has even beaten up ancestral witches and great supernatural beings in front of the sage's dojo.

Seeing that Ziwei agreed, Taiyi did not say much, but simply sent a telepathic message to the people of the Heavenly Court behind him, telling them to find a corner to listen to the Great Dao later and not to compete with others.

In reality, the great opportunity he spoke of was not the holy position bestowed by Hongjun; that holy position was not actually bestowed by Hongjun.

That was ordained by Heaven.

Even if Taiyi were to take the throne, he would not obtain the holy position. Moreover, he never even considered obtaining the holy position.

Primordial Purple Qi? The Foundation for Attaining Dao?

Deceiving the world is one thing, but trying to trick Taiyi is out of the question.

If one can truly attain enlightenment simply by possessing the Primordial Purple Qi, and sainthood can be bestowed at will, then why doesn't Hongjun bestow titles upon his two disciples?

Why was Hongyun, who obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, unable to become a saint and instead met a tragic end with his death and the dissipation of his Dao?

He just wanted to forcibly occupy two seats and then profit from it.

Want a holy position? Sure, just give me some benefits.

The two Taoist boys walked out of the archway.

The Taoist boy on the left is dressed in a black Taoist robe, with handsome features and a calm demeanor; the Taoist boy on the right is dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, with a beautiful face and clear, watery eyes.

Although the two appeared young, they were surrounded by a serene Daoist aura, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary people.

These two young Taoist disciples were none other than Haotian and Yaochi, who later became the rulers of the Heavenly Court and are known to all.

The two stood with their hands at their sides, their expressions respectful, and proclaimed in unison:

"The sage's decree states that the three-thousand-year period has arrived, and all of you may enter to listen to the lecture."

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Upon hearing this, all the great gods perked up, straightened their clothes, and prepared to enter.

Taiyi stood at the front of the crowd, his golden eyes sweeping over the two Daoist boys, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He naturally recognized Haotian and Yaochi.

If the original development of the primordial world had been followed, after the destruction of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, Haotian would have succeeded to the position of Heavenly Emperor, and Yaochi would have been the Heavenly Empress.

Haotian seemed to sense something, raised his eyes and glanced at Taiyi, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes as he gazed at Taiyi with fervent admiration.

He could naturally sense Taiyi's actions from within.

How wonderful it would be if he could do that one day?

The gates of Zixiao Palace opened wide, and the Daoist boy's words followed.

Hundreds of innate deities surged into the hall like a tide, all wanting to get closer to the legendary saint and vying for a prominent position.

In an instant, Taoist robes fluttered and spiritual light flashed. The great masters who were usually so dignified and otherworldly now disregarded their dignity and rushed to be the first, fearing that they would fall behind.

But no one dared to actually use their supernatural powers to fight inside. The twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan should have relied on their physical strength to sweep aside all obstacles.

However, they did not care about the order of arrival; they simply pushed down anyone who dared to approach, causing the group of innate gods to be angry but not daring to speak out.

However, a golden-white light suddenly shone.

Taiyi took a step forward, and the Sun Dao Domain unfolded with a roar, as he entered the palace gates together with Emperor Ziwei.

The intense solar Daoist aura was like the sun descending from the sky, its supremely powerful and yang pressure spreading out without reservation. Wherever it passed, the innate great gods beside it all changed their expressions and instinctively retreated to the sides.

The golden-white light was too domineering. The Dao Domain of the Primordial Golden Immortal forcefully cleaved a path through the crowd, and no one dared to confront its power.

"This person is utterly disrespectful to his superiors, daring to display Daoist techniques in the sacred grounds of a sage!"

An old-timer from the primordial era, a Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, looked displeased and rebuked in a low voice.

This person was an existence who had attained enlightenment in ancient times. He relied on his profound seniority and valued rules and regulations the most. He was very dissatisfied with Taiyi's arrogance.

The people around him nodded in agreement, but none of them dared to step forward to stop him.

The sheer power of Taiyi slapping Zhurong away and knocking Dongwanggong to his knees in the chaos was still fresh in everyone's mind, and no one wanted to be the next one to stick their neck out.

Most importantly, this is the sacred site of a sage, and they dare not act recklessly like Tai, for fear of offending the sage.
