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

"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother. As long as Buddhism can flourish and the West can prosper, we two have no objections." Jieyin closed his eyes, pulled the indignant Zhunti behind him, and said word by word.

Yuanshi gave Jieyin a deep look, realizing that Jieyin was indeed more cunning than Zhunti.

"In that case, I hope you two fellow Daoists will take good care of my disciple in the future." Yuanshi smiled. "After all, the future of Buddhism will depend on them."

"Yes." Zhunti composed himself, his eyes expressionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking!

Haotian looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with great interest, then suddenly spoke: "The Investiture of the Gods is complete. The four brothers of the Demon Clan have been appointed as the Four Heavenly Kings: Zengzhang, Chiguo, Duowen, and Guangmu, to guard the Four Heavenly Gates of the Heavenly Court!"

"I pity the future lack of fighting power of Buddhism. The Four Heavenly Kings may be placed under the seat of Indra, the Buddha, to protect Buddhism, guard Mount Sumeru, and guard the mountain gate."

Jieyin and Zhunti took a deep breath and forced a gasp through their teeth: "Okay!"

The sages clicked their tongues in amazement. How ruthless was the Heavenly Emperor!

Mount Sumeru is the ancestral temple of the Western religion. If they directly send people to guard the mountain gate, then no matter what moves Buddhism makes in the future, they will not be able to hide it from these four people.

The internal affairs of Buddhism were directly controlled by the Heavenly Court, and with the addition of former disciples from the Chan and Jie sects, Jieyin and Zhunti were effectively sidelined!

Although they cannot improve their cultivation level by accumulating merit and fortune now, once they have fulfilled their great vows, it will be enough for non-Western sect direct disciples to completely control Buddhism.

These two have now completely benefited others!

Hongjun glanced at them coldly and said indifferently, "Since you two have agreed, then you should diligently spread the Tao to the beings of the West!"

In his eyes, it didn't matter if Jieyin and Zhunti suffered losses. He had already agreed to the betrayal of Xuanxue and the establishment of Buddhism, and how it was arranged was none of his business. All he wanted was to restore the West!

"You may go!" Hongjun waved his hand, and all the sages bowed in unison, "Disciples take their leave!"

Haotian stepped down from the cloud bed and bowed, saying, "I entrust Longji Xuantian to my master and Senior Yangmei."

"Don't worry," Hongjun nodded. "Your aura is fluctuating; it's time for you to go back into seclusion!"

He then handed the Qiankun Cauldron to Yaochi, saying, "It will take some time to refine this item. Haotian is in seclusion, and you will need to take care of the affairs of the Three Realms."

"This disciple will protect the Heavenly Court well," Yaochi said with a smile.

"Go forth, the future of immortality rests on your shoulders!"

"This disciple takes his leave." Haotian Yaochi and Houtu, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, left Zixiao Palace.

In the blink of an eye, only two cloud beds remained in the hall.

"Haotian's filial piety towards you is still commendable." He raised his eyebrows and sighed.

Hongjun shook his head: "In the end, he never broke through to our level. He may have achieved enlightenment through luck, but he is the Heavenly Emperor. This luck means nothing to me!"

"After the great calamity, do you truly intend to escape the primordial world?"

"My entire life has been dedicated to pursuing the Great Dao!" Hongjun's voice was unwavering.

A strange light flashed in Yang Mei's eyes. "I don't think that kid Haotian will ever enter the chaos."

……

The chaotic energy surged, but it was exceptionally gentle when it came into contact with Haotian and the other two, flowing over them like a stream.

"I understand what you want to ask, fellow Daoist. The breakthrough of the Ancestral Witch is a good thing for the current prehistoric world, and I will naturally not keep it to myself."

Seeing that Houtu was about to ask a question, Haotian shook his head, knowing that he would do what he had promised.

After the great calamity, for him and even the entire prehistoric world, the more saints the better!

Haotian's fingertip flashed with spiritual light, and before Houtu could react, her mind was filled with a massive amount of information.

Her face showed a look of horror. As a sixth-level Primordial Chaos cultivator, she hadn't even seen how the Heavenly Emperor made his move.

After processing this information, Houtu looked excited, but with a hint of hesitation: "Your Majesty, won't this harm the bloodline of the Wu clan?"

"Of course not." Haotian shook his head. "This method can be said to be the Ancestral Witch contributing her own laws to the Primordial World, allowing the twelve laws to be elevated to the Primordial Chaos level. You should know that the Primordial Heavenly Dao is said to have three thousand laws, but they are all driven by the Origin."

If it were the Three Thousand Primordial Heavenly Dao Laws, the Heavenly Dao should have been upgraded to the Great Dao long ago!

"They may not be able to cross the insurmountable barrier directly, but after the great calamity, I guarantee they will all attain enlightenment!"

Houtu was secretly surprised; the Heavenly Emperor was not one to make empty boasts!

Her brothers had spent tens of thousands of years at the peak of Quasi-Saint, and she knew how difficult it was to cross that threshold. In the primordial world, how many people truly attained the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal on their own? Only the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Emperor!

The Ancestral Witches do not possess a primordial spirit and cannot fuse the three tokens. Therefore, the Witch Clan can only obey the Heavenly Emperor!

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will tell my brothers after I return to the Underworld!" Houtu said with a resolute expression, bowing deeply.

"In that case, I await the Ancestral Witch's good news!"

……

Heavenly Court, Jade Pool Wonderland.

Haotian did not sit down, but instead opened his arms wide, his face full of enjoyment, as if his arms encompassed the entire Heavenly Court.

Feeling this immense fortune, Haotian's face was filled with satisfaction. The Investiture of the Gods calamity, in which the souls or bodies of the disciples of the saints were listed, also meant that the fortune of the four sects of Xuanmen flowed into the Heavenly Court.

As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, he could feel the immense fortune constantly gathering around him, and golden waves of energy emanated from his body, causing countless spiritual roots and flowers in the Jade Pool to bow down in reverence.

"Then let's begin our seclusion, Senior Brother!" Yaochi smiled as she looked at Haotian's expression.

They have been back for several days, and the affairs of the Heavenly Court have been settled. The Four Heavenly Kings are also heading to the Western Continent, so it shouldn't be long before we hear the news of their establishment of a new religion.

"I'll leave the Heavenly Court to you, Junior Sister..." Haotian was about to say a few words of advice when he suddenly looked outside. "Why are they here?"

Venus led fourteen people in. Haotian and Yaochi sat side by side, exchanging a silent glance.

"Houtu greets Your Majesty."

"Yang Jiao pays respects to the Great Heavenly Venerable, wishing His Majesty a long and prosperous life, and His Majesty a swift attainment of the Primordial Chaos Realm."

"Your humble servants, Dijiang/Zhujiuyin/Rushou/Jumang/... pay homage to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

Haotian's pupils shrank suddenly, and Yaochi's eyes were also filled with suspicion. Houtu bowed, which was only natural, after all, she was the master of the earth, and she did the same when she saw her master.

Yang Jiao, being a junior, not only performed the rites of greeting the Emperor and Empress, but also showed respect to his elders.

However, the twelve ancestral witches, without saying a word, knelt down and bowed just like Yang Jiao. It should be noted that even the celestial gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court rarely performed such a solemn ceremony.

Kneeling and bowing signifies complete submission!

Does the Ancestral Witch's behavior signify complete submission to the Heavenly Court?

Just like Xing Tian back then!

Haotian looked at Houtu with a puzzled expression. Even if he had given the Ancestral Witch the method to attain enlightenment, there was no need to fulfill the agreement before she had even attained enlightenment!

"I am Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, but also the Lord of the Earth. Now all affairs of the Witch Clan are handled by my elder brother. I have come here only to witness this." Houtu was led to a seat by Taibai Jinxing and said softly.

Haotian looked at Yang Jiao and the twelve Ancestral Witches who were kneeling on the ground and refused to rise, and said with a smile, "My dear minister, please rise!"

Since he voluntarily submitted, he had no need to refuse.

"Thank you, Your Majesty/Uncle."

Yaochi looked at Yang Jiao with affection. This little guy was already at the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm, much stronger than Yang Jian. It seemed that the Wu Clan had really put a lot of effort into cultivating him.

"What has happened that has brought you all to this initiative?"
