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

"The common people are in misery, the world is in chaos, among all the schools of thought, only I reign supreme!"

A wild voice resounded throughout the Nine Provinces, instantly spreading throughout the primordial world.

The eyes of all the powerful beings were focused on the Nine Provinces, and their divine senses swept across the void, but they still could not find any trace of the person who had uttered those arrogant words.

A moment later, one magical treasure after another appeared from the void and then disappeared.

Inside the Bixia Temple, Longji Kongxuan moved his fingers slightly, even summoning the Creation Pearl, yet he still couldn't deduce from the heavenly secrets who dared to be so audacious.

Of all the schools of thought in the Hundred Schools of Thought, only I am the most outstanding!

Is the goal to make the School of Diplomacy the most prominent of all schools of thought?

Neither Taoism nor Confucianism are this direct, and the Mohist and Diplomatic Schools are also watching closely. This strategist is unknown, yet he dares to be so arrogant.

"I can't figure out who it is. They didn't swear an oath to Heaven, so it seems they don't want to leave any trace." Kong Xuan frowned and looked at a strong and powerful man among his disciples. "Zilu, do you remember a few people you've encountered before?"

Zilu looked on with a look of reminiscence: "Reporting to Master, I have encountered two sword masters. In a one-on-one fight, their swordsmanship was superior to mine. When the two joined forces, their swordsmanship complemented each other, and I was powerless to fight back."

Kong Xuan introduced Long Ji to Zilu, saying, "This is my disciple, Zilu. He is the most outstanding warrior among the Confucian scholars."

Longji nodded: "Didn't they tell you their origins?"

"Uncle-Master, they only said they were from no particular sect or school," Zilu replied honestly. "Moreover, I later encountered military strategists named Sun Bin and Pang Juan, who were not from any of the four major schools of military strategists either."

Kong Xuan and Long Ji exchanged a glance. Anyone capable of teaching such a disciple could not be an unknown figure, especially since his swordsmanship surpassed Zilu's...

Long Ji is now at the peak of Quasi-Saint, so his eyesight is naturally sharp. This disciple of his senior brother is no less than the heads of some minor sects in terms of cultivation and understanding of the Great Dao. The fact that he can suppress him is enough to show that the person is extraordinary.

Are there still such people in the primordial world who teach disciples without revealing their identities?

Kong Xuan's brow twitched suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "What if he's afraid to expose himself?"

Longji's brows relaxed, and he looked up in realization. The two of them, brother and sister, looked up together.

……

Longde Palace.

Tongtian stood helplessly in the hall. He was supposed to rush back to Kunlun Mountain, but he was pulled away by a large hand with distinct knuckles.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness!"

Haotian sipped his fine wine with a smile, while Yaochi looked at Tongtian with a half-smile: "Senior brother, what a grand ambition! If His Majesty and I hadn't failed to descend to the mortal realm to pass on our lineage, we would now be submitting to you, the head of the School of Diplomacy!"

"I was just joking, just joking." Tongtian chuckled awkwardly. He only wanted to talk a little nonsense, but who knew he would be so unlucky as to be caught by the Heavenly Emperor.

"Why are you running away? I think the School of Diplomacy is quite strong. If you focus on developing your skills, you will surely be able to rank among the top ten of the Hundred Schools of Thought." Haotian looked over curiously.

Tongtian said with a bitter expression, "Your Majesty has always been a master strategist. I do not believe that Your Majesty could not have guessed it."

Haotian's eyes lit up instantly: "Tell me more."

Tongtian said with grief and indignation, "My eldest and second brothers said that my nature is hard to change and that they would not allow me to descend to the mortal world to get involved in the great prosperity of the human race. Otherwise, they would confine me to Kunlun forever, and even if I go down the mountain, I will stay with them."

What's the difference between this and being imprisoned in the imperial jail?

How could my unrestrained and free-spirited soul endure such constraints!

Yaochi laughed heartily: "Senior Brother really guessed right!"

"So you just wanted to travel around the human realm for a while, afraid to leave your name, lest they find you through karma." Haotian laughed heartily, "But it's too late."

"What!" Tongtian exclaimed in shock, but quickly recovered, "Have my eldest and second brothers arrived?"

"Your Majesty, please save me!" Tongtian's eyes were filled with resentment. If it weren't for your sudden intervention, he would have returned to Kunlun long ago.

Now, it must be that his eldest and second eldest brothers realized he hadn't come out to watch the commotion and instantly understood that he was the one who caused it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the two Sages, Taiqing and Yuqing, request an audience." Venus entered and bowed.

"Summon." Haotian spoke, and Tongtian visibly began to tremble, his face even turning somewhat pale.

Taibai Jinxing glanced at Tongtian with a strange look in his eyes. Those two saints didn't seem too angry!

Laozi Yuanshi quickly entered, bowing directly to the person above him without even glancing at Tongtian: "Your subject greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

"You two senior brothers are here to see Senior Brother Tongtian, right? I was afraid he would escape, so I caught him for you first." Haotian pointed at Tongtian, thinking that he would enjoy the show.

Yaochi barely managed to hold back from rolling her eyes; these two hadn't even gotten up yet!

"Please rise, senior brother."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Laozi and Yuanshi said calmly, turning to look at the other side.

Tongtian stood up abruptly as if struck by lightning, clutching his ears with both hands, his voice weak: "Big brother, second brother, I was wrong."

Haotian Yaochi was speechless. You should at least put up a fight!

You didn't reveal your identity this time either. Although the strategists didn't swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, they still have luck.

"Alright, I'm not blaming you." Yuanshi glared at Tongtian, annoyed. "It's enough that you remember my and my elder brother's instructions."

Their requirements for Tongtian are now very low; as long as he doesn't take on as many disciples as the former Jie Sect did, there won't be any problems.

Tongtian was moved to tears: "Big brother, second brother, you are so kind."

Lao Tzu watched this scene with a smile, a smug glint in his eyes.

It was he who told Yuanshi not to get angry, that disciplining his younger brother should be a balance of slap and leniency, a slap followed by a sweet treat, and Tongtian immediately obeyed.

If one continues to use force to oppress others, given Tongtian's personality, he will eventually backfire, and then things will be difficult to handle.

"In the future, you should act as Kong Xuan said, thinking thrice before you act," Lao Tzu gently advised.

"Mhm." Tongtian nodded repeatedly.

Haotian blinked. Something wasn't right. He'd passed the test just like that?

He began to stir up trouble: "Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, only I am the most powerful. What a grand ambition! I have even suppressed the Daoists and Legalists."

Laozi replied calmly, "My third brother was just joking; I didn't take it to heart."

Haotian chuckled and lightly tapped the void. A whisk and a chain of punishments from the Nine Provinces stood out conspicuously, their chilling light sending shivers down one's spine.

When those words were first uttered, you weren't so nonchalant.

"Sigh, the bottom line is lowered step by step. If we tolerate it now, it will definitely cause a big disaster later."

A hint of anxiety flashed in Yuanshi’s eyes. Although his elder brother had repeatedly warned him, the Heavenly Emperor’s words made sense. If they had intervened more when Tongtian established the Jie Sect, none of the later events would have happened.

"They say jade must be carved to become a useful object, so you must discipline him properly!" Haotian said coolly.

Seeing that Yuanshi clenched his fists, about to glare at him, Laozi quickly stopped him, much to Haotian's regret.

"My third brother has already corrected his mistake. To err is human, to forgive divine," Lao Tzu said calmly.

Haotian asked in disbelief, "Are we just letting him go like that?"

Tongtian replied blankly, "Your Majesty, I don't think I've done anything to offend you?"

Is it really necessary to sow discord like this?

Haotian laughed heartily: "I'm bored in the Heavenly Court, so I'm counting on Senior Brother Tongtian to provide me with some entertainment."

The Three Pure Ones remained silent. Haotian put away his smile and said seriously, "Senior brothers, please state your purpose."

If you came here wanting to teach Tongtian a lesson, you can wait until he goes back; he must have something important to do!
