"No!" Tongtian stood up and blocked their way.

"Get back here, or I'll beat you up again in Longde Palace!" Yuanshi roared. When did it become your place to make decisions for the two of us?

Tongtian trembled, but still did not back down: "This is my mistake, how can I implicate my elder brothers!"

"Bang—" Haotian Yaochi's eyelid twitched!

Tongtian rolled his eyes, then wobbled and fell asleep immediately.

Seeing the large bump on the back of his head, Laozi remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, and put away his coiled dragon crutch. The three lights of the sun, moon, and stars in Yuanshi's sleeve also disappeared.

After pulling Tongtian back into his seat and arranging him properly, Laozi and Yuanshi remained unmoved: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Your Majesty, please perform the spell!"

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance and shrugged. They could tell that Laozi's attack had used the power of humanity, which was why Tongtian had been knocked unconscious.

"Let's wait a bit." Haotian shook his head. "Now that the Shang Dynasty has been destroyed, once the emperor of the mortal realm officially establishes the country and performs the Fengshan ceremony, as the victors of the Investiture of the Gods war, my two senior brothers should be able to break through with the help of good fortune. It would be better to transfer the calamity energy then."

"But before that..." Haotian stood up, looked at the unconscious Tongtian and laughed, "I can completely seal the evil energy for ten thousand years, at most ten thousand years, to spare him so much pain, while my two senior brothers should try their best to break through within ten thousand years."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two bowed.

Haotian walked up to Tongtian, his fingertips entwined with the laws of the Emperor, and an overbearing aura spread out, suppressing everything. Even the laws within Laozi Yuanshi's body showed fear.

"Your Majesty's Imperial Laws seem to be even more refined?" Yuanshi asked hesitantly.

"I originally focused on cultivating the laws of the Emperor, but because of the two great supernatural powers, Golden Words and Heavenly Heart Finger, the more laws I mobilized, the greater the power. Now that I've stripped away the other laws and concentrated on just one, it's natural that I've gained something!"

As he spoke, an imperial aura filled the air, emanating a noble presence that commanded respect. Haotian pointed directly at Tongtian's brow: "Dispel the malevolent energy, seal it!"

A grand will permeated the entire Dragon Virtue Palace. The power of the Heavenly Dao descended, bringing with it the primordial energy, mixed with a trace of purple aura. The Emperor's Law governed all things, transforming into golden runes that merged into Tongtian's body.

Haotian and the others were startled. Laozi and Yuanshi bowed to the heavens, drawing down so much primordial energy. It seemed as if they were descending voluntarily, but it must have been their master's initiative to help them.

The towering figure burst forth with dazzling divine light, while the fierce and malevolent energies below—black, purple, white, and red—resisted relentlessly, unwilling to be suppressed and striving to break through the obstruction.

Haotian's eyes flashed with a fierce light. As expected of someone who had accumulated a great calamity of evil energy, he was still able to put up a stubborn resistance even after he had drawn upon the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Golden light shone brightly from his index finger, and he pressed it down sharply. Tongtian, who was unconscious, seemed to be attacked and couldn't help but groan. Then, golden light covered his whole body, and all the evil energy was sealed into his body.

Qingyun unfolded directly, and the Shangqing Immortal Light mixed with the sky full of sword energy swept down. Laozi and Yuanshi breathed a long sigh of relief. They could no longer sense the evil energy. Their third brother had returned to being that immortal saint.

Seeing him slowly regain consciousness, Laozi Yuanshi quickly pulled Tongtian aside and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

"Nothing... Hmm?" Haotian waved his hand, then suddenly looked outside and couldn't help but smile. "They've all arrived at the same time."

Laozi and Yuanshi sat back down in their seats. Only Tongtian felt dizzy and couldn't help but hiss as he touched the back of his head. He glanced suspiciously at the two of them.

"What are you looking at!" Yuanshi said irritably.

"No, it's nothing!" Tongtian shrank his neck. This injury didn't seem to be caused by the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the touch was wrong. So it must be his elder brother?

Tongtian looked resentful, but Laozi remained calm and didn't even spare him a glance. Tongtian pouted in grievance and could only swallow his anger.

Haotian waved his hand to remove the barrier and pointed to a pot of withered Qionghua behind Tongtian: "Remember to compensate me before you leave."

Tongtian was both exploding with malevolent energy and shedding tears at Longde Palace. If there had been no protective barrier, countless spiritual objects would have been destroyed in this palace.

A white divine sword, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, flew out. Haotian raised an eyebrow and deflected it back: "I'm not a swindler. Just compensate me with a lower-grade one."

A low-grade innate spiritual treasure, a divine sword, flew out, and Tongtian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the group of people outside the hall entered, they exchanged a glance upon seeing the harmonious atmosphere.

"Greetings, Father and Mother. The Shang Dynasty has fallen, and your son has returned to report." Longji Xuantian Bohuang and his entourage bowed respectfully.

Haotian chuckled and gently lifted them up: "My son, you've had a long journey. Greetings to your three senior uncles."

"Disciple pays respects to the Three Pure Ones, my senior uncles."

"Disciple greets Master and two Uncles."

"Alright, get up." Laozi smiled gently, his gaze falling on Xuan Tian as he nodded. His aura remained calm, and his Dao heart was not affected by the excessive killing.

Seeing that the princes and princesses were also experiencing fluctuating auras, Yuanshi cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty and Your Highness."

Haotian Yaochi nodded: "After this great calamity, the prehistoric world will gain many more quasi-saints and great supernatural beings!"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, and the Three Pure Ones!" A man dressed in black with blood-red embroidery bowed, his entire being exuding a murderous aura, his face cold and sinister, radiating the aura of a Great Immortal.

Longji and the others were full of doubt, while Laozi Yuanshi was stunned and immediately saw the true form of this person.

"Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito!" The two frowned. Wasn't this the one that the Heavenly Emperor had demanded from the Styx River?

"Indeed." Haotian lowered his gaze. "How did things go?"

The Mosquito Taoist bowed, holding a golden lotus in his hands. The lotus was only in its third stage of bloom, but its entire body was a warm, lustrous red-gold color, surrounded by solid golden light of merit. The lotus fragrance it emitted was elegant and solemn, capable of calming restlessness.

"The Golden Lotus of Merit, only third grade!" Tongtian exclaimed, staring at him in shock. "You did this?"

Longji and the others were extremely shocked. The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit was a personal spiritual treasure of the Saints who guided the Sages, and also an object used by the Western Sect to suppress the fortune of the people!

There are also some golden lotuses in the Heavenly Court, but they were all planted by two saints of the Western Sect after exchanging golden lotus seeds for merit. This third-grade golden lotus, however, has a profound origin and definitely belongs to the twelfth-grade merit golden lotus.

Laozi and Yuanshi seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment, they both bowed to Haotian and said, "Your Majesty's strategies are beyond our reach!"

Seeing Longji and the others looking completely bewildered, Haotian chuckled and said, "I am the Heavenly Emperor. No matter how the Buddha and the Xuan Sect compete for fortune in the future, it will not cause me any loss. But I am, after all, a disciple of the Xuan Sect."

"In case the Xuanmen is completely suppressed in the future, I cannot take sides, but I must always have a backup plan."

Haotian pointed at the golden lotus, and a woman dressed in a bright red octagonal robe and wearing a celestial crown collapsed in the hall. All her magical power was sealed, and her brows were furrowed with anger, but her majestic demeanor and dignified appearance were still evident.

She saw Tongtian standing to the side, his eyes shining with joy, then tears streamed down his face, his expression full of excitement.

"My disciple Guiling!" Tongtian exclaimed excitedly, his eyes flashing with anger. Damn Jieyin and Zhunti!

Just as he was about to lift the restriction, his body suddenly stiffened, and he looked at Laozi Yuanshi with a fawning smile.

The two remained silent, simply sitting down with stiff expressions. Tongtian gave an awkward smile, winked at Guiling, and quickly sat down as well.

Longji and the others blinked and stood quietly to the side. Were the beatings from their two senior uncles really that effective?

The Sage of Heaven has actually stopped acting impulsively and has even learned to read people's expressions!

Mosquito Taoist glanced at the Turtle Spirit Mother and slowly spoke: ...
