Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

Auspicious clouds descended from the heavens, and the clear, melodious sound of imperial bells resounded throughout the celestial court.

Haotian wore an imperial robe, with sun, moon and star patterns on his shoulders. Jade tassels hung from his crown, exuding auspicious energy, and his whole body radiated a majestic and awe-inspiring aura. His phoenix robe from the Jade Pool was embroidered with myriad images, adorned with pearls and jade, and his demeanor was dignified and graceful.

Celestial officials on the left and right held feathered canopies and banners, while heavenly soldiers and generals lined up on both sides to protect the emperor, accompanied by melodious celestial music.

All the immortals and gods who attended the banquet rose and bowed in greeting. Immortal herbs and flowers swayed and bowed in unison. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged slowly with the steps of the emperor and empress as they stepped into the treasure pavilion.

Hundreds of colorful fairy maidens lined both sides, holding jade chimes, cloud flutes, and phoenix pipes, playing celestial music that flowed continuously, accompanied by numerous immortals and gods shouting: "We/Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we pay our respects."

Even the three sages bowed slightly: "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress."

Haotian Yaochi took his seat and looked to both sides, saying, "Greetings, esteemed sages."

He then looked down at the area below the throne: "All of you, rise and take your seats."

With gentle force, the immortals were lifted up. After being given permission to sit down, they focused their eyes on their noses and their hearts, and dared not talk casually anymore.

The jade chime music paused, and the hall fell silent. Haotian's gaze swept over all the celestial officials, and his voice echoed throughout the Dragon Virtue Palace:

"Since the creation of the world by Pangu, the primordial world has been in chaos and calamity, and the beings of the three realms have been displaced. I have taken charge of the Heavenly Court, commanded all the stars and constellations, established the Heavenly Rules, brought peace to the four seas and the netherworld, and the human race has prospered."

Now that I have comprehended the origin of heaven and earth and perfected my cultivation, I have attained the Dao of Hunyuan. Today, I hold a banquet of peaches to invite all the immortals of the Three Realms. First, to celebrate the peace and prosperity of heaven and earth, the tranquility of the four seas, and the well-being of all living beings; second, to congratulate me on the success of my attainment of the Dao and the perfection of the Three Daos.

From now on, the Heavenly Court will uphold the Heavenly Order, protect the prosperity and growth of the Three Realms, and ensure that the mortal and immortal realms are in harmony, and that humans and immortals live in peace.

Let us all enjoy the immortal peaches and wine, and celebrate the peace and tranquility of the world!

As soon as the words fell, all the immortals and gods in the pavilion bowed down and shouted, "Congratulations to the Heavenly Emperor on attaining enlightenment! May heaven and earth prosper forever, and may the Heavenly Court flourish forever!"

Venus flicked his whisk and announced loudly, "Let the banquet begin!"

Fairy maidens presented trays of peaches aged three thousand, six thousand, and nine thousand years. The fresh, reddish peaches were glistening and their fragrance filled the hall. With each bite, pure spiritual energy emanated from them, and a hazy celestial light enveloped the body.

Celestial music rose again, and celestial maidens danced with swirling sleeves, their robes fluttering like clouds rolling and rosy dawns. Celestial light filled the sky inside and outside the treasure pavilion, and auspicious colors filled the air. The immortals toasted each other, enjoying themselves immensely, presenting a scene of the celestial realm's prosperity and peace.

Haotian Yaochi, holding a golden cup, repeatedly offered toasts to the various saints: "Many thanks to all fellow Daoists for your presence, which brings glory to my humble Heavenly Court."

After the saints drank it, Yuanshi teased, "If your Heavenly Court is considered simple, then my Jade Void Palace must be too shameful. Junior brother, you are being too modest."

The saints smiled, knowing that unlike Taiqing Laozi's tranquility and inaction, who was devoted solely to the Great Dao, and Tongtian's upright character who only loved a three-foot-long sword, only Yuqing Yuanshi loved nobility the most, and Yuxu Palace was the most prosperous place among the saints' dojos.

It paled in comparison to the Heavenly Court's furnishings, not to mention the spiritual fruits at the Peach Banquet, which even the most powerful saints couldn't produce.

Haotian glared at Yuanshi with annoyance: "Why are you taking this so seriously, Senior Brother? I was just being modest. Do you expect me to just say it directly, 'Let you see the wealth and power of my Heavenly Court'?"

Yuanshi frowned, while Tongtian grinned and looked at him: "Second brother, how about it? You can't argue with your junior brother, can you?"

"Sit up straight." Yuanshi's forehead veins throbbed as he watched Tongtian half-slouch while clinking glasses with Zhenyuanzi, and his anger immediately shifted.

Tongtian quickly straightened his posture. That was the problem with his second brother; he always liked to control him.

"Alright, today's Peach Banquet is a rare occasion for us to enjoy ourselves, so let's not worry about it so much." Laozi said slowly, and Yuanshi quickly agreed. He glared at Tongtian and then stopped talking, turning his head to talk to Laozi.

Tongtian snorted smugly, "You're the older brother who can control me, and the eldest brother can control you too."

Haotian found it both funny and absurd, and Yaochi gently clinked glasses with him, saying, "Senior Brother, you seem much more relaxed now."

After finishing the fine wine in his cup, Haotian smiled and said, "Not bad. To attain the Dao of Hunyuan and truly stand on the same level as all the saints, rather than just relying on the blessing of the Heavenly Emperor's position, is naturally much easier."

"This can be considered the peak of our Heavenly Court. It's been less than a Yuanhui since our wedding. The changes in the world are all thanks to Senior Brother's skillful governance of the Three Realms." Yaochi smiled. Since their ascension to the throne, there has been no major battle in the prehistoric world. The Heavenly Court has indeed made a great contribution.

With a sweep of Haotian's divine eye, the immortals in the hall exchanged pleasantries, discussed profound mysteries, or chatted about amusing tales of the mortal world.

"This can be considered fulfilling the duties of the Heavenly Emperor." Haotian looked outside the palace, where many heavenly soldiers and generals were on duty. They would be rewarded after the Peach Banquet ended.

As for the South Heavenly Gate, some tricks need to be done to set up a teleportation array so that heavenly soldiers and generals can quickly arrive when something happens in the prehistoric world.

He also understood that the most important thing in the prehistoric world these years was the human race's position as the protagonist of heaven and earth. Now that the world is at peace, in the future, it will probably be a struggle for fortune among various religions, and it is not certain whether there will be peace!

"Senior Brother." Yaochi called softly, and Haotian came back to his senses. He followed Yaochi's gaze and saw Jieyin and Zhunti eating spiritual fruits on the table and taking more as they ate.

A sweep of divine sense revealed that the disciple they brought this time had the lowest cultivation level, which was stuck at the True Immortal realm. He was standing with the other Golden Immortals outside the corridor. As a disciple of a sage, he was inevitably looked down upon by the others.

Haotian closed his eyes, pretending not to see. Fortunately, Jieyin and Zhunti had set up a barrier, preventing the other immortals and gods in the hall from seeing their actions. In any case, there were only a few top-grade spiritual fruits, and the Heavenly Court had plenty of lower-grade spiritual fruits, which could be obtained at any time.

Yuanshi and the others glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti's actions, but could only turn their heads away as if they hadn't seen them, since it wasn't their home turf.

Tongtian muttered to himself, "I only brought disciples of Golden Immortal level or above, and these two really don't seem to care about their public personas."

Yuan Shi squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Shut up."

Tongtian lowered his eyes, indignant.

Haotian and Yaochi spoke in hushed tones. They didn't understand why Jieyin and Zhunti were still so "frugal and thrifty." Only 30% of the Western ley lines remained unrepaired, yet they still couldn't change their ways of doing things.

Some powerful beings and immortals came to offer wine, while others expressed their desire to join the Heavenly Court, which Haotian Yaochi naturally welcomed.

Fortunately, when the immortals were offering toasts, Jieyin and Zhunti knew to conceal it and knew that they were in the Heavenly Court, so they did not dare to openly say "Fellow Daoist and I have a predestined relationship with the West", which saved them some trouble.

The saints toasted each other, and Longji, holding his small jade cup, went around socializing with them before coming up to pour wine for them.

"Longji has grown up too." Taiqing smiled as he drank the nectar in his cup. "To have reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm so quickly, that's truly remarkable."

Nuwa pulled her over and, seeing the Nuwa Stone tied around her neck, her eyes were filled with affection: "Now that you've grown up and can make your own decisions, would you like to become my disciple and learn the way of creation from me?"

Longji smiled slightly, "In front of my master, Longji will always be a child."

"You sly one." Nuwa tapped her brow, admiring her beauty, "Our Longji will surely be an unparalleled beauty in the future, the most beautiful woman in the primordial world."

Houtu looked over upon hearing this, and many goddesses in the hall also raised their heads to carefully examine the appearance of this imperial princess. It must be said that even at such a young age, one could glimpse her future peerless beauty. Her red dress was captivating, and Nuwa's words were indeed true.

Longji shook his head repeatedly: "How can I, a disciple, bear the weight of what you've said, Senior Uncle..."
