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

"Get up," Hongjun said as he walked. The saints were lifted up by a gentle force, and the gates of Zixiao Palace opened as well.

A flash of light appeared, and Hongjun sat on a cloud bed. He gestured to the left and right, and two more cloud beds rose up beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Pingxin is the master of the Dao, and should sit with me."

Houtu was taken aback for a moment, then bowed slightly: "Thank you, Dao Ancestor. This disciple will respectfully accept your invitation."

Hongjun then looked at Haotian: "You are in charge of the human realm, and are also the Heavenly Emperor, the master of the immortals and gods of the primordial world. You may sit on the same level as me."

All eyes turned to him, and Haotian shook his head: "Master has imparted divine powers to me and has taught me for many years. How dare I sit with Master?"

"Come here." Hongjun pointed to the golden cloud bed beside him. "I understand your intentions. Today is a meeting of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. You don't need to do this."

Haotian's heart skipped a beat; it seemed that something unexpected had happened.

"Thank you, Master." Haotian bowed again and sat on the cloud bed.

Seeing the various expressions on the faces of the people below, Haotian lowered his eyelids. Hongjun pointed again, and several more futons appeared on the left and right sides of the Heavenly Dao Saint's futon. Zhen Yuanzi and the three emperors of the human race bowed and sat on them.

Hongjun's gaze lingered on Yaochi for a moment, and he sighed inwardly, thinking that only this little disciple had not yet attained enlightenment.

However, with the laws emanating from Yaochi, she will likely break through soon!

"Master, why aren't you at Zixiao Palace? Why are you here with Senior Brother Sanqing and the Heavenly Emperor?" Nuwa's eyes were full of curiosity, and she even looked over at Lianyin and Zhunti.

Could it be that Master is so biased that he couldn't wait to see his beloved little disciple as soon as he came out of seclusion?

The Three Pure Ones' expressions darkened, and they gave Nuwa a cold glance, knowingly bringing up a sore spot.

Nuwa's heart skipped a beat; it seemed she had stepped on a landmine.

But when Master and the others came over just now, they didn't notice anything unusual on Senior Brother Sanqing's face!

"This matter has nothing to do with you. After all these years, you're still only at the fourth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Why haven't you broken through yet?" Hongjun looked at Nuwa with a kind and amiable expression, making her shrink back.

Master, you really know how to hurt people's feelings!

The Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan is not something that can be broken through so easily!

Yuanshi's eyes were clouded. His eldest brother and third brother had all broken through, and it was actually him who was dragging the Three Pure Ones down.

"Jieyin and Zhunti, your Western Sect has developed quite well, but the Western Continent is still only 70% restored, and that was only with Haotian's help. Have you two forgotten about the creatures of the West?"

"This disciple dares not." Jieyin and Zhunti were uneasy, for they had not forgotten why they were able to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi.

"The Three Sovereigns are indeed accomplished, having reached the second level of the Primordial Chaos Realm. However, as the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, apart from Xuanyuan, Fuxi and Shennong were also guests in the Zixiao Palace. Now that you have attained sainthood, you should not limit your vision to the human race."

"The sage of humanity must first respect the Lord of humanity."

Fuxi's breath hitched, Shennong smiled bitterly, and Xuanyuan looked embarrassed. All three bowed and replied, "Disciples know their mistake. Humans are also members of the human race, and the Heavenly Emperor should make the decision."

Hongjun nodded, then looked at Zhen Yuanzi, making him immediately tense: "You're not bad; you must have some extraordinary opportunity."

"Thank you for the compliment, Dao Ancestor." Zhen Yuan bowed, feeling utterly flattered.

Hongjun flicked his sleeve, and a divine stele flew out: "This is the Earth Emperor Stele. Standing on the earth will also enhance your combat power. In the future, you should diligently assist the Heavenly Emperor."

"This disciple thanks the Dao Ancestor." Zhen Yuanzi respectfully accepted the gift. He had also had the opportunity, just like the Heavenly Dao Saint, to be personally bestowed a treasure by the Dao Ancestor.

Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones and slowly said, "The Three Pure Ones have also done well these years. The Three Teachings have flourished, and the fortune of our Xuanmen has increased rapidly. This is also thanks to you."

Tongtian hesitated, wondering if his master was genuinely praising him.

Laozi Yuanshi's expression was subtle. Was his master really not making sarcastic remarks about his third brother's Jie Sect?

"As a disciple of the Xuanmen, I must do my best." Tongtian didn't care whether Hongjun's words had any deeper meaning or not, and took them as praise.

Hongjun gave Tongtian a deep look; this disciple's face was beginning to resemble Zhunti's.

Lao Tzu, in his primordial state, kept his eyes closed and his mind at rest, without uttering a sound.

Since entering Zixiao Palace, Master had called out all these saints one by one, which was not without the intention of avenging Junior Brother Haotian.

Houtu sat on her cloud bed, watching coldly. The Dao Ancestor was still as biased towards Fellow Daoist Haotian as ever. Fortunately, their Wu Clan had long since reached a consensus with the Heavenly Emperor, and there was still Yang Jiao as a link.

"You forged the Merit Coins, and I was able to emerge from seclusion so quickly thanks to your good fortune." Hongjun looked at Haotian one last time, his face full of smiles. "I have learned from the Heavenly Dao what the Heavenly Court has done over the years."

"The Heavenly Court has done nothing wrong in maintaining peace and tranquility in the Three Realms."

The saints were startled; they were being targeted!

Haotian laughed and said, "As your disciple ascended to the throne of Heaven by order of Master, I must naturally prioritize the well-being of the Primordial World. It is only right that Master enjoys the fortune, and you must not make your disciple feel ashamed."

"I understand your intentions perfectly well," Hongjun nodded.

The Three Pure Ones' eyes darted away slightly, but Hongjun looked directly at them, then lightly tapped Jieyin and Zhunti twice before smiling gently: "Do you think a sage's disciple can be above the Heavenly Laws?"

"This disciple dares not." The five of them immediately lowered their heads, realizing that their master was indeed giving them a warning.

Even after all these years, Master still protects Junior Brother Haotian the same way.

"I don't care what you think, but the Heavenly Court is the supreme authority in the Three Realms, and the Heavenly Emperor is the master of immortals and gods. Therefore, he has the power to govern the immortals and gods of the primordial world. Everything is based on the Heavenly Laws. Do you understand?"

"Disciples obey the laws and decrees."

The saints bowed their heads, and Tongtian's heart trembled. His master had already made it clear that his Jie Sect...

Haotian was deeply moved, and the first thing his master did upon summoning the saints was to support him once again.

Yaochi felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. Her master was still the same master, still the master who protected Haotian.

The Three Pure Ones have had several disagreements over the matter of the Intercepting Sect, and today they have fought again.

Now that Master has emerged from seclusion, everything can be suppressed.

Houtu sighed as she watched this scene. Daozu still unconditionally protected the Heavenly Emperor. However, the Heavenly Emperor had not done anything wrong. The prehistoric world had indeed been peaceful in recent years, which was what their Wu tribe had hoped for.

Seeing the saints remain silent, Houtu forced a smile: "I wonder if Ancestor has summoned us from seclusion for some urgent matter?"

The saints were invigorated and thanked Fellow Daoist Ping for smoothing things over. They all looked up at the head of the table, even Haotian looked on with curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist, since you are in charge of the Earthly Dao, are you able to unleash combat power above the Hunyuan Daluo level?" Hongjun asked an unrelated question.

Haotian's mind stirred, and Houtu glanced at him and shook her head: "The Earthly Dao is divided into two. With the help of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, I can at most exert the power of the eighth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm."

"If the tunnel is intact, then you can proceed, right?"

"Yes." Houtu glanced at Haotian cautiously.

Heavenly Emperor, say something!

What does the Dao Ancestor mean by this?

I have no intention of taking away your other half.

Could it be that after the Dao Ancestor finished reprimanding the saints, he's now targeting my Wu Clan?

Hongjun ignored her thoughts: "I already know Haotian's strength. If he didn't control the Earth and Human Paths, could he still unleash such an attack?"

The Three Pure Ones had subtle expressions. Master, we're the ones who get beaten!

Haotian pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "It's possible, but you must have two supreme treasures to provide assistance, and you must be able to draw upon the power of the three paths."

Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief: "The situation is better than I imagined."

He glanced at the assembled sages and slowly said, "A great calamity is imminent in the primordial world, lasting anywhere from ten thousand years to a single epoch!"
