The Jade Pool Wonderland.

Seeing Yaochi return with her three disciples, Haotian handed her a cup of fine wine: "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister."

"Senior brother, you're being so formal again!" Yaochi gave him a reproachful look.

"Disciple thanks Master for your guidance." Kong Xuan knelt down and kowtowed. If Zhunti had not personally acknowledged it, he did not know when he would have understood.

Haotian chuckled and shook his head, gently lifting him up: "Kong Xuan, you're too arrogant!"

Kong Xuan's expression changed slightly, and Jin Peng also glanced over. His elder brother...

"You are the eldest son of Yuan Feng, and you were taken in as my disciple from a young age. Although Jin Peng is arrogant, you have always regarded protecting him as your responsibility. You once protected the human race and made great contributions to the Heavenly Court."

"You are the Heavenly Emperor's personal disciple and the future patriarch of the Phoenix Clan. Either title is a prestigious one in the prehistoric world, and all the immortals will respect you. This also leads you to look down on ordinary people."

Seeing that he looked somewhat dazed, Haotian's voice deepened: "I am not saying this to blame you, but with your personality and the fact that you see me as your role model, I can only let you continue to grow like this."

"But if you always maintain this mindset, you can keep moving forward."

Yaochi's expression changed. Didn't this mean that if Kong Xuan suffered a blow, he would be devastated?

"Junior sister, you're being too attached to appearances." Haotian smiled gently. "How does Kong Xuan compare to me back then? Master has protected me for many years; how could I not protect my own disciple?"

Kong Xuan closed his eyes tightly, and a Daoist aura gradually emanated from him. Yes, he had already managed to defeat the Saint. At least the Five-Colored Divine Light had trapped the Saint. Under his master's protection, there was nothing wrong with that!

"Disciple understands, thank you for your guidance, Master."

Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have been trapped.

Jin Peng looked at him expectantly. He knew that his older brother had always taken care of him, but sometimes he was a bit too strict. It turned out that his brother had taken him on as his responsibility.

"Thank you, brother."

"We're brothers." Kong Xuan smiled gently, then changed his tone, "You should also go into seclusion soon and stop wandering around. Even if you can't sever your obsession, you should break through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint as soon as possible."

Jin Peng gave a light snort and said, "Give me back my gratitude!"

Kong Xuan gave him a threatening look, and Jin Peng immediately lowered his voice and said, "I understand."

Haotian chuckled, and Yaochi blinked as well. What a familiar scene, a replica of Yuanshi Tongtian?

"By the way, Master, I have retrieved this item." Kong Xuan presented the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Flag and the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

Haotian sighed silently. The mistakes of the past could finally be made up for, but...

If Jieyin and Zhunti wanted to continue, would he allow it to continue?

Or should we let it go?

Haotian's lips curled up, and he silently put the two items away.

"Master, does our Heavenly Court really not care about the human race in the Western Continent?" Lu Er asked, scratching his head.

"I am not a nanny for the human race. I have already told the Three Sovereigns that how to handle this is a matter between them." Haotian sneered. "Jieyin and Zhunti are quite sensible, they did not dare to publicize the method of salvation."

"Humans are indeed the main characters of heaven and earth, but the Heavenly Court's main focus is on the Nine Provinces. There aren't many humans in the Western Continent. We'll deal with them after the Investiture of the Gods."

Yaochi nodded: "What Senior Brother says is true. After the Conferment of Gods, they should have dealt with it properly. We have already given them a warning, and they will surely restrain themselves."

This action will not generate karma, since in the eyes of Heaven, those humans are alive and living quite well. They only need to kneel and worship every day to generate incense and spiritual power; they just don't seem like normal mortals.

If there were karmic connections, my senior brother would have seen it long ago, given his expertise in the path of destiny.

"You two should go into seclusion." Haotian waved his hand, leaving Lu Er completely confused. Didn't he have to go?

"This disciple takes his leave!" Kong Xuan Jinpeng blinked in surprise, but did not ask any further questions. He simply bowed and left Yaochi.

"Master, is there something you need me to do?" Lu Er asked, puzzled.

Yaochi looked over with a puzzled expression. Haotian nodded: "Do you wish to enhance your origin once more?"

Lu Er's body trembled, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. Haotian tapped lightly, and a water mirror appeared in the void, where Yang Jian was engaged in battle.

Looking at the majestic white ape, Lu Er exclaimed, "A gibbon!"

It can shrink mountains, grasp the sun and moon, discern good and bad fortune, and manipulate the universe. Among the four chaotic monkeys, it is known for its immense strength.

"This person actually joined the Jie Sect!" Lu Er fell silent for a moment. "Master, is he tainted by karma?"

"No," Haotian said softly.

Lu Er looked conflicted, sighed as he gazed at the long-armed ape who was already at a disadvantage, and said, "Master, let him go."

If someone were deeply tainted by karma like Wuzhiqi was back then, he would retrieve their essence and blood. But for those of his kind who were not burdened by karma, he felt a certain amount of pity.

"You can retrieve his original essence and make amends to him in the future," Yaochi said. "He only cultivated ordinary Jie Sect techniques. You can teach him the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique in the future, which will also enable him to attain the quasi-sainthood."

After all, there's a limit to how big the gibbon can grow!

Haotian remained silent, which meant he tacitly agreed to this statement. What did it matter that the Long-Armed Ape was innocent? But Lu Er was his disciple!

Lu Er hesitated for a moment. His master had obtained the supernatural powers of the two saints, Taiqing and Yuqing, including the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique. As long as permission was granted, it could be obtained by exchanging merits.

Of course, half of it should be given to the two saints!

"This disciple wishes to speak with him." Lu Er's expression shifted. "If he is willing, then I will ask Master to intervene."

Haotian nodded, and with a slight movement of his sleeve, Lu Er disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that Senior Brother has already made up his mind." Yaochi took a sip of tea.

"Lu Er is my disciple!" Haotian said simply, what did the others have to do with him?

With so many spiritual fruits in the Heavenly Court, they could surely raise the Long-Armed Ape to the level of Quasi-Saint. Moreover, it's better than having his soul listed on the Investiture of the Gods and being unable to advance any further.

Looking at the misty clouds over the Jade Pool Wonderland, Haotian sighed, "It'll be here soon!"

"Is Senior Brother Tongtian really going to make a move?" Yaochi's expression turned serious.

"Over the years, only those disciples of the Jie Sect who had accumulated merit and virtue survived. Although those who had neither merit nor demerit were secretly captured and brought back to Kunlun with the help of Nanji Zi, apart from those who were able to defend the formation and kill those who broke it, the rest were all killed."

"The Western Religion is stirring things up, and the rogue cultivators of the Primordial World also have their own ideas. Senior Brother Tongtian won't be able to tolerate it for long."

Yaochi's red lips curled into a cold laugh: "This is Senior Brother Tongtian's own choice!"

Anyone tainted by karma will be eliminated, and those without merit or demerit will be dealt with equally. On the Investiture of the Gods alone, there are already thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect!

"It's better than completely destroying the sect." Haotian frowned. Laozi and Yuanshi had put in a lot of effort, but in the future, the Jie Sect would only be a framework!

"A bloodbath is brewing!" Yaochi sighed. "Does Senior Brother really not intend to intervene?"

"I will descend to the mortal realm to watch a play, junior sister, let's go together." Haotian laughed heartily.

Yaochi was both amused and exasperated, but still frowned slightly: "The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is not easy to break!"

"That's their business." Haotian shook his head, but it's not impossible, after all, Senior Brother Taiqing has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

"That's true." Yaochi nodded. As for Jieyin and Zhunti, even if they entered the Zhuxian Sword Formation, they would only be there to make up the numbers.

Haotian sipped his tea, but his gaze suddenly paused: "This thing really seems to have a connection with him!"
