"Your subject Xuantian pays respects to Father Emperor and Mother Empress. May Father Emperor enjoy eternal bliss and Mother Empress attain the Primordial Chaos realm soon."

A young man in white knelt solemnly in the main hall, his eyes bright, his voice booming, and Daoist energy flowing throughout his body, revealing his Golden Immortal cultivation.

Yaochi carefully examined them and couldn't help but admire her senior brother's ability to train his disciples. They had a solid foundation and their every move exuded the demeanor of a great master.

Even with Longji and Kongxuan here, Xuantian wasn't nervous at all.

"Get up." Haotian lowered his eyelids. "Greetings to your elder sister and brother."

"Yes." Xuan Tian kowtowed again and stood up, first bowing to Long Ji at the head of the table, "This junior brother greets Sister Long Ji."

Longji's phoenix eyes darted around as he looked at Xuantian and bowed, sensing a familiar aura once again, as if their souls were connected.

"Little brother, I saw you when you were little." Long Ji smiled, then sighed, "You are human, and your appearance is fixed now. I am a celestial being, and my appearance can only change with my mindset."

Xuan Tian was taken aback; he had no recollection of ever seeing this older sister. Yao Chi lightly tapped Long Ji twice, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. Your mother would prefer you to stay this way forever."

Longji wrinkled her nose, somewhat displeased. Standing next to Xuantian, she looked younger than her brother, even though she was the older sister.

"Since this is your first time meeting me, I'd like to give you a gift." Longji thought for a moment and smiled. "You're learning Taoism from Master Taiqing, so you must be walking the path of Yin and Yang. I don't have anything suitable, but the Sun Soul and Moon Spirit Pearls are perfect for you. Here you go."

Seeing the yin and yang appearing within the pearl, and the spiritual energy flowing around it, Xuan Tian was stunned. It was a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"You can keep it. Longji doesn't follow the path of Yin and Yang." Yaochi glanced at it; it was just a gift from Xihe and Wangshu when Longji was born, a toy from her childhood.

Xuan Tian accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, sister."

When they met Kong Xuan, Jin Peng and the others, they were much more familiar with each other. After all, they had met many of them when they helped the human race, and Kong Xuan and the others gave them gifts.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Longde Palace fell silent. Of the people present, apart from Ling Shuo and the other twelve lunar princesses whom Xuan Tian had never met before, Hao Tian and Long Ji were the most unfamiliar to him.

Even when Yaochi was teaching Shaohao, she often gave Xuantian pointers.

"You have returned to the Heavenly Court and will be the Crown Prince from now on, no different from Kong Xuan and the others," Haotian said calmly.

"Master, this..." Kong Xuan, Jin Peng, and Lu Er were all shocked. Although they were called Crown Princes by the immortals of Heaven, they had never received their master's confirmation. Now that it was confirmed, they felt a noble aura flowing into them, which represented the aura of the Crown Princes.

However, lacking imperial destiny, he remained merely the crown prince.

Haotian waved his hand: "In the primordial world, the status of direct disciples and offspring is not much different. You may sit down."

He lifted his eyelids to look at Xuan Tian: "Your senior brother has already told you everything about what happened between us, hasn't he?"

Xuan Tian hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.

"Including the time when I wanted to kill you after your birth?"

Yaochi sighed and squeezed Haotian's hand.

However, everyone in Longde Palace, including Longji, Kong Xuan and others, as well as Princess Jinwuyue, all looked astonished.

Xuan Tian knelt down: "Master said that my birth was a scheme of Heaven, to shake Father Emperor's imperial destiny. I... I am Father Emperor's calamity."

"Father!" Longji stood up abruptly, memories of his first meeting with Xuantian flooding back. "So, that's how it was back then?"

Haotian shook his head at her and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, his imperial destiny dissipated after I attained enlightenment, so it can't affect your father anymore."

"Get up." Haotian gently raised his wrist, and Xuantian was lifted up by the soft force. "Do you blame me?"

"Fine, whether you blame me or not won't affect me in the slightest." Haotian shook his head. "I've given you everything I was supposed to. In any case, Longji is connected to you by blood and is my offspring. Kong Xuan and the others are your senior brothers, and you should also call Bo Huang and Ling Shuo your elder brothers and sisters."

"Your aunt, Princess Yunhua, is now the Goddess of Wushan, residing in the Nine Provinces of the mortal world. You will know this when you meet her in the future."

"Go, take your five hundred spirit officials to the Zhou Tian starry sky. They will be your core group in the future."

Xuan Tian knelt and kowtowed: "Thank you, Father, for your planning."

He raised his head and looked directly at the head of the table, gazing at Haotian and Yaochi's calm faces, and said softly, "Please allow me to finish speaking, Father."

Haotian nodded, and Xuantian slowly spoke: "When Master first told me that Father wanted to kill me, I was furious. I wished I could throw away even the Zhenwu Black Carved Banner and Jingyang Bell that Father had bestowed upon me."

His eyes reddened slightly, but he still said, word by word, "Later I learned that I was merely a pawn used by Heaven to scheme against Father Emperor, and that I might even cause Father Emperor's demise."

Xuan Tian composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Father, there's no need to feel guilty. As cultivators of the immortal path, who could remain indifferent when facing their own destiny's tribulation?"

"Even if I were to encounter them, I would still kill them!"

The word "kill" echoed throughout Longde Palace with Xuantian's voice, as if even the temperature had dropped.

Kong Xuan and the others looked at him in surprise. This temperament didn't seem to be taught by Master Taiqing, but rather by Master Tongtian.

Yaochi said with admiration, "Senior brother, as expected of your offspring, you show no mercy."

Haotian shook his head; it was still not quite right. He looked at Xuantian and said softly, "I understand. I understand what you want to say. As for guilt..."

Haotian laughed heartily: "I have no such idea, Xuantian, you are still too naive."

"At all times, put yourself first, then protect your family, friends and subordinates, and don't let irrelevant things become your shackles."

"In the primordial world, strength is ultimately the most important thing!"

Xuan Tian was stunned, as if he had suddenly understood everything. So, it was he who had been carrying the shackles all along?

His primordial spirit instantly became clear, radiating a bright golden light that drew the attention of Bo Huang and the others.

"It's not the true fire of the sun, but it's even brighter. It seems to be the Pure Yang Dao?" Bo Huang couldn't help but look up at the head of the table. His father would control the Pure Yang True Fire.

Black and white energies surged from Xuan Tian's body, transforming into the shape of a dragon and a snake. The yang dragon and yin snake intertwined, causing his aura to continuously increase.

Jin Peng looked at this guy with great interest. Yin and Yang, indeed!

After a long while, the aura of Longde Palace gradually dissipated, and Xuan Tian's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

"Thank you, Father, for reminding me."

"It is also your good fortune." Haotian nodded. As expected of someone who was formed from a fragment of my soul. If it weren't for this connection, I would really like to compete with my senior brother for it. "The Pure Yang True Fire is the best at suppressing evil spirits. It is fitting to bestow upon you the title of Demon-Slaying War God."

"Since you are all here today, I will give you everything that is due!" Haotian waved his hand, and several streams of light appeared in the void, all exuding the pressure of innate spiritual treasures.

"Longji, you are the eldest daughter of your father and mother. Although you are now at the Taiyi level, you will still be traveling in the prehistoric world in the future, so you must have a protective treasure."

"I have attained the Dao of Primordial Chaos and merged my three corpses into one, but I have also reforged the Three Treasures of Haotian. Your aunt carries the Haotian Mirror for self-defense, and you can use the Haotian Pagoda for protection."

The 33-story golden pagoda flew out and landed beside Longji, subtly echoing her.

"Thank you, Father Emperor." Longji held up the Haotian Pagoda, his eyes and brows full of smiles.

"This tower was forged by me in imitation of the Haotian Tower, but it resonates with your aura, so I will give it to you."
