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

"Your Majesty, I absorbed the Third Grade Golden Lotus. The disciples of the Jie Sect who were taken away are unwilling to return, only Fellow Daoist Guiling is willing. I used the jade talisman bestowed by Your Majesty to conceal my aura, and they only thought I was a strange Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power cultivator."

However, I was unable to break the seal and feared being discovered by the Western saints, so I quickly returned.

"I used the contingency plan His Majesty left behind to completely eliminate my aura, and no trace of me was discovered."

Haotian nodded: "Well done, you've worked hard on this trip. Go find Bai Ze, he will give you a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

Mosquito Taoist was overjoyed—a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

Although his mouthparts can pierce even innate spiritual treasures, they cannot be used to sever corpses. He is already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so naturally he has to make plans for attaining enlightenment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave!" Just as Mosquito Taoist was about to leave, Tongtian suddenly spoke up, "Wait a moment."

"I wonder what instructions the Sage has?" Mosquito Taoist lowered his head.

"You saved my disciple, and I cannot leave without repaying you." Tongtian glanced cautiously at Laozi and Yuanshi, then quickly turned away. "I have nothing of value to offer but this as a token of my gratitude. Please do not find it offensive."

A crimson divine light descended from his auspicious cloud. It was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure shaped like a three-edged spike, and it extended into three streams, filled with bloodthirsty energy, which was not something that ordinary cultivators could control.

Mosquito Taoist's eyes shone brightly, which was extremely in line with his path of cultivation!

Although he was also born in the Blood Sea, it was too late. Most of the Blood Sea had already been absorbed by the Underworld. Not only did he not have any accompanying spiritual treasures, but his cultivation level was also accumulated to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal by the Heavenly Court over the years, which required a lot of resources.

"Thank you, Sage!" Mosquito Taoist bowed and accepted the gift, then withdrew.

Tongtian sighed. Logically speaking, even giving a top-grade innate spiritual treasure wouldn't be enough to save Guiling, a personal disciple.

But he really had no money left!

The Zhuxian Sword Formation was taken away by the eldest brother, and the Qingping Sword, Zidian Hammer, Yugu Heart-Piercing Lock were all knocked down. Only the Tianhua Miaozhui Flag was left, which had to be returned to the Heavenly Emperor no matter what. Even the Cangxian Map was suppressed by the second brother.

Looking at the three brothers' furtive glances, Haotian couldn't help but smile: "In the future, when disciples of the Western Sect, including the Human, Chan, Jie, and Xi, ascend to the Heavenly Court together, they will be at each other's throats. I'm afraid I'll cause some trouble."

Yaochi's eyes flickered; her senior brother still hadn't given up on that idea!

"Your Majesty, please speak plainly," Laozi said, his expression unchanged.

"Although Junior Nephew Xuandu's cultivation is quite good, his alchemy efficiency is too low. Master praised Senior Brother for refining the Golden Elixir and transforming the universe. I have built a Tushita Palace for Senior Brother in Lihentian, which will also make it easier for Senior Brother to suppress the disciples of the four sects."

The Three Pure Ones looked over at the same time. What suppression of disciples? In the primordial world today, who would dare to disobey the Emperor's orders!

All the immortals clearly saw what fate awaited the incorrigible Sage Tongtian. All this talk was just to get the eldest brother to come to the Heavenly Court to refine elixirs.

"Very well!" Laozi hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "This humble Taoist, the Good Corpse of the Supreme Lord Lao, may take charge of the Eight Trigrams Furnace to refine elixirs for the Heavenly Court."

"Big Brother!" Yuanshi Tongtian exclaimed in unison, not believing that their eldest brother couldn't see the deeper meaning behind it.

The disciples of the four sects of Xuanmen have completely submitted and are no longer able to cause any trouble after being listed on the Investiture of the Gods. So the Heavenly Emperor has turned his attention to the saints!

Instead of treating the Heavenly Emperor with the same courtesy as before, they were to submit to him. Perhaps it was out of consideration for their fellow disciples, or perhaps the Heavenly Emperor was unable to use force due to the impending primordial calamity, and this was merely a test.

Laozi shook his head at the two of them, saying they hadn't seen things clearly enough. The Jie Sect was already defunct in name only, and the Heavenly Emperor had already allowed Jieyin and Zhunti to establish Buddhism. All he cared about was that his master's fortune remained intact.

Who do they think they are!

The Heavenly Emperor, out of consideration for friendship, would give them face and they would quickly reciprocate!

So what if they submit to the Heavenly Court? Even if we take a step back and say that they are subjects of the Heavenly Court, it is still the Heavenly Emperor's responsibility, and the Heavenly Emperor will eventually have to take responsibility for their path.

Now that the Third Brother has lost the fortune of the Jie Sect, joining the Heavenly Court in the future can be said to be without any disadvantage!

Moreover, as saints, they can maintain their autonomy, and the Heavenly Emperor will not treat them as he would ordinary immortals and gods; he will be more polite to them.

"Your subject, Laozi, pays respects to Your Majesty!" A stream of light descended from Laozi's primordial spirit, dressed in a yellow Bagua Taoist robe, flicking his whisk as he bowed deeply.

A smile bloomed on Haotian's face. As expected of the leader of the Three Pure Ones, he was indeed meticulous and quick-witted.

"Everything has been arranged in the Tushita Palace. Fellow Daoist Taishang, just go there and focus on refining the elixir. I will not let Heavenly Court affairs bother you."

Laozi's brow twitched, and he looked at the head of the table with a hint of speechlessness: "Your Majesty, we haven't even crossed the river yet, and the bridge has already been demolished!"

Laozi hasn't even entered the Tushita Palace yet, and you're already declaring that he has no power?

Haotian's expression remained unchanged. "I have ordered you to submit, but only as guest ministers. As a Heavenly Saint, do you really expect me to watch you kneel and bow upon meeting you?"

Work hard, enjoy the blessings bestowed upon you, and don't interfere with the decisions of the Heavenly Court!

As Laozi was about to leave, Haotian's voice rang out softly: "Fellow Daoist, you can handle as many pills as you like, but you must hand over the offerings on time."

Realizing the deeper meaning in his words, Laozi trembled and said helplessly, "Your subject obeys the Emperor's decree."

Laozi closed his eyes briefly, and Haotian chuckled, "Senior brother, please forgive me. After all, there are always unexpected events in alchemy. Putting aside everything else, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is difficult to refine, and I am only being considerate of Laozi's hard work..."

Moreover, if one day a monkey were to ascend to heaven, Laozi would say: "This monkey has eaten all of my elixirs!"

Who can I reason with? The Spiritual Stone Monkey isn't some chaotic ferocious beast; it can't eat that much!

The reason for balancing the accounts is perfectly legitimate. I won't say anything if it's just a loss of one or two percent, but if it's all gone, and you still want to keep me smiling with a high-sounding reason, just wait and see if I don't beat you up!

"It seems there's more to the story than meets the eye in the Heavenly Court!" Lao Tzu snorted.

"The water is so clear..." Haotian paused, then thought, "Oh, in their primordial world, clear water means more fish. These are indispensable everywhere; we just have to turn a blind eye!"

We can't let others not get any benefits at all!

Suddenly, streaks of light rose from the lower realm, gathering together and obscuring the entire Heavenly Court with countless divine lights, causing the will of humanity to tremble wildly.

The Kongtong Seal and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth appeared directly, and the Emperor's destiny manifested on Haotian's body. The golden color was mixed with the Ziwei Emperor's Qi, plus the crimson Emperor's destiny of the Human Emperor, all rushing in.

The three imperial energies—the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Fortune, the Netherworld Emperor, and the Human Emperor—are all gathered together!

Haotian's body trembled as he felt an immense surge of fortune rushing towards him, rapidly enhancing his comprehension of the Emperor's Path. Shockwaves materialized and spread outwards, forcing everyone to retreat.

"Stop!" Haotian shouted, and a golden light flashed, sealing off the strange phenomena on his body. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

With a sweep of his divine eyes, he saw that the human emperor Ji Fa was already offering sacrifices on the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai. He flicked his finger, and spiritual light descended, manifesting all sorts of strange phenomena on Mount Tai to bless the emperor and prove that he was the chosen one!

"From now on, all human rulers will be called Sons of Heaven!"

The technique of "golden words" was activated, imprinting this sentence into the primordial world.
