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

Haotian's expression froze, and with a slight movement of his sleeve, a stream of light flew out, revealing Yaochi's figure.

"Senior brother, why did you take me in?" She had just spoken in a low voice when she saw the purple-robed old man beside her, and her eyes flashed with joy. "Master, you have emerged from seclusion."

"Disciple Yaochi greets Master."

Haotian and the other three paused, for their master had just emerged from seclusion and they had not yet paid their respects.

"Disciple pays respects to Master. May Master enjoy eternal bliss and boundless longevity."

Hongjun snorted lightly, "No need, this humble Taoist cannot accept such an honor!"

"Disciples know their mistake." The four bowed and did not rise. Hongjun snorted and flicked his whisk, and the four were lifted up by a gentle force.

Yaochi grabbed Haotian's arm, causing him to gasp. He immediately understood what had just happened. With his senior brother's strength, the Three Pure Ones could not possibly harm him.

"Master, how could you hit Senior Brother Haotian? It was clearly Senior Brother Sanqing who was in the wrong." Yaochi raised her eyebrows and shielded Haotian behind her.

They should resolve their own issues; it's not up to the Three Pure Ones to watch and laugh.

Hongjun rolled his eyes at her, then unleashed a wisp of purple energy that landed on Haotian's shoulder, instantly healing his injuries.

"I ordered you to look after Haotian's Jade Pool, and this is how you've taken care of it?" Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones with displeasure. "What exactly made him so angry that he attacked all three of you at the same time?"

Sanqing's lips twitched. Master, please don't be so biased!

How are we supposed to take care of him? He single-handedly overpowered the three of us. If it weren't for your intervention, we would already be recovering from our injuries.

Tongtian murmured a few words, but couldn't utter a sound. Ultimately, today's events were related to him.

"It's my fault." The father glared at his disappointing younger brother and honestly admitted his mistake.

"Heavenly Emperor, we acted impulsively." Yuanshi pulled Tongtian and bowed to Haotian to apologize. With their master in front of them, they should admit their mistake first!

Haotian turned his head and snorted softly, "I wanted to help you solve this, but I couldn't bear to part with you!"

Tongtian has been spoiled rotten by the two of you!

Hongjun coldly observed their actions, his fingers constantly calculating within his sleeves, receiving information from the Heavenly Dao, and gave Tongtian a disappointed look.

Jie Sect...

"Alright, I have come out of seclusion to seek you out." Hongjun waved his hand, and the Three Pure Ones all stood up, their faces grim.

Haotian coughed lightly: "Please give your instructions, Master."

"This concerns the primordial world, and we must wait for all the sages of the heavens to come together." Hongjun sighed, stood up, and patted Haotian on the shoulder. "You have done an excellent job in matters of humanity. The primordial world is becoming stronger and stronger, and you have benefited from it as well."

"As the Heavenly Emperor, I naturally have to help the prehistoric world develop, just as my master, as the Dao Ancestor, has to teach all living beings to follow the Dao. All living beings in the prehistoric world have their own duties, while those beings who only absorb spiritual energy and do not think of giving back to heaven and earth..."

Haotian paused for a moment, then sneered, "They should all pay the price they deserve."

Tongtian's face darkened instantly, but he was also somewhat embarrassed. This was far too obvious, and he was so awkward that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

Hongjun looked at Haotian helplessly; this time, his disciple was truly angry.

"Alright." Hongjun sighed. "Tongtian, apologize to your junior brother."

Tongtian looked flustered, but was still somewhat unconvinced. However, since Laozi and Yuanshi were both looking over, he couldn't care less about his master's favoritism and could only cup his hands to Haotian and say, "Junior brother, I was wrong."

Haotian gave a blank "hmm". Tongtian could tell he wasn't paying attention. Although he had been beaten this time, he would still resist if asked to hand over the disciples of the Jie Sect.

"Come back to Zixiao Palace with me, they've all arrived." Hongjun was a little tired; none of his disciples were anyone who didn't give him a headache.

"Wait." Haotian stopped him, and Hongjun immediately stopped, his eyes looking tired: What's wrong with you now?

Haotian pointed to the wrecked Yaochi, the result of their recent battle: "One top-grade innate spiritual treasure, you'll have to pay for it!"

Yaochi nodded in agreement. This was where she, the Heavenly Empress, resided. Her senior brother hadn't held back at all, but of course, the blame should fall on the Three Pure Ones.

"This..." Tongtian's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything. His eldest and second brothers had only acted to protect him, and his second brother had even given away three low-grade innate spiritual treasures when he came.

However, of the top-grade innate spiritual treasures he possessed, only the Purple Lightning Hammer and the Heart-Piercing Lock remained; the others…

Seeing his predicament, Laozi sighed and took out a divine lamp burning with purple flames from his sleeve: "I heard that my niece Longji has also attained the Great Luo realm and blossomed into the eighth grade. Consider this my congratulatory gift."

"The Eight Views Palace Lantern." Tongtian's expression was complicated. This was one of the three lanterns of Heaven, Earth, and Man. It was a spiritual treasure of the same origin as his second brother's Jade Void Palace Lantern and Burning Lantern's Coffin Palace Lantern. All of them were top-grade innate spiritual treasures with forty-eight restrictions.

Most importantly, this item matches the name of the Eight Views Palace. The fact that the elder brother took out this item shows that he was apologizing on his behalf.

They now understood Haotian's strength; even the Three Pure Ones combined were no match for him, unless they used the method they had suspected.

But that's a desperate measure, and it should never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

The eldest brother was afraid that his junior brother Haotian would hold a grudge against him.

Tongtian looked at Laozi with teary eyes, and Yuanshi lowered his eyes, immediately understanding his elder brother's meaning.

"I was also at fault in this matter, for I failed to take good care of my third brother. Please forgive me, Heavenly Emperor." He also took out the Jade Void Palace Lamp and bowed to hand it to Haotian.

Haotian's expression changed slightly. Are you two trying to force the emperor to abdicate?

No, he glanced at Tongtian's changing expression out of the corner of his eye, so that's how it is!

The two brothers are putting on an act, trying to force Tongtian to his dominance!

This was to show him how much his two elder brothers had endured for him, and if he still couldn't bear to part with the disciples of the Jie Sect...

Brotherhood and master-disciple relationship—Taiqing Yuqing is forcing Tongtian to make a choice!

However, Tongtian must be suffering greatly!

Sure enough, Yaochi saw Tongtian lower his head with a guilty expression, seemingly lost in thought. But a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. Wasn't this making Senior Brother Haotian the villain?

From the perspective of Tongtian and the Jiejiao sect, everything that is happening now is due to the Heavenly Emperor's coercion!

Hongjun watched this scene with great interest, while Haotian's lips curled up. His two senior brothers were just bullying Tongtian, this sentimental fool!

However, if you're going to use them as weapons, then so be it. Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures of the same origin are something you can still offer.

Reaching out to take it, Haotian noticed a slight shift in Laozi Yuanshi's eyes and raised an eyebrow, hoping that his senior brother Tongtian would make the right choice.

"Let's go!" Hongjun chuckled and disappeared into the Jade Pool Wonderland.

Haotian waved his sleeve and unleashed a stream of light, instructing Bai Ze and the others to rebuild Yaochi, and to leave the affairs of the Heavenly Court to them.

The group exchanged glances and then disappeared into the void, flying towards the heavens.

……

Zixiao Palace.

Nuwa and Zhunti arrived one after the other, Houtu strolled leisurely, parting the chaotic energy, Zhen Yuanzi followed behind, and the Three Sovereigns arrived closely behind.

After exchanging greetings, everyone looked puzzled, wondering why the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Emperor were nowhere to be seen.

The gates of Zixiao Palace were tightly shut. Nuwa frowned slightly. It was her master who had summoned them, so why wouldn't they be allowed to enter?

A flash of purple light appeared in the chaos, followed by a sound of air being torn apart. Several streaks of light landed, revealing Hongjun's figure, with Haotian, the Three Pure Ones, and others by his side.

"Disciple pays respects to Master/Dao Ancestor." Everyone bowed. Why did Master come with these people?
