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

Longde Palace.

Haotian revealed a half-smile, and even the sound of his flowing immortal energy seemed particularly abrupt.

"Insolence!" Yaochi's brows furrowed in anger. She reached out and clenched her fist, causing thunderclouds to fill the void. The Eye of Heavenly Punishment began to appear, locking onto Shakyamuni Buddha, who was located in the Western Continent.

Bodhi blinked; he hadn't expected this to happen either!

Jieyin Liangliang said, "In heaven and on earth, I alone am supreme. What a grand spirit you have, Nephew Duobao!"

What a twist of fate! Just when we were feeding him, Duobao flipped the table!

"No, no—" Tongtian was dumbfounded, and Laozi and Yuanshi were also dumbfounded. They never expected that they would succeed so soon, and that Duobao would cause such a big mess.

"Is he planning a rebellion?" Yaochi's eyes were icy cold. "When did it become the turn of a junior to rule the Three Realms? Or is this at the behest of my three senior brothers?"

The Taiyin Silent Wheel emerged from behind Yaochi's head, coating the Longde Palace with a layer of cool moonlight, causing the Three Pure Ones to shiver uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we would never dare to have such thoughts!" The Three Pure Ones knelt on the ground, feeling a bitter taste in their mouths. How could this be?

Tongtian stared blankly into the water mirror with a pained look in his eyes. "Duobao, Duobao, why did you have to learn to talk nonsense like your master!"

Last time, I made some careless remarks, and the Jie Sect was wiped out. I was almost beaten into a pulp by your two senior uncles. Why don't you learn your lesson?

"Your Majesty, Duobao only misspoke. Please spare his life." Tongtian kowtowed. At this point, it was no longer a matter of whether Duobao could take over Buddhism, but whether His Majesty would pursue the matter.

If we were to investigate further, this one sentence alone would be enough to condemn Duobao!

Haotian stretched out his palm, and Tongtian was instantly terrified, his whole body went cold, and his eyes immediately reddened. He pleaded in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Duobao is still young and doesn't understand. He has no intention of rebelling."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Laozi and Yuanshi also kowtowed and begged for forgiveness. If this matter were investigated strictly, it could implicate the Three Pure Ones.

After all, Duobao's trip was organized by the three of them together!

Haotian chuckled and waved his hand amidst the terrified gazes of the Three Pure Ones, causing the thunderclouds to dissipate.

Yaochi looked displeased that Duobao had been let go so easily. This was the first time in the Three Realms that someone had dared to overstep the Heavenly Emperor's authority in this way.

"Junior Sister," Haotian smiled helplessly, pointing to the water mirror, "let the junior handle it."

Yaochi's expression softened slightly. She put away the Taiyin Nirvana Wheel, glanced at the gloating Amitabha Buddha, and then stared coldly at the kneeling Sanqing without even looking at them or telling them to get up.

……

In the Western Continent, Shakyamuni stood in the void, one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, his brows furrowed with disdain. This vast Buddhism was finally about to fall into his and his master's hands.

It's been so long since I've seen those junior brothers and sisters who were once converted!

Once he formally took over Buddhism, his master would be able to improve his cultivation through the help of good fortune. Envisioning this bright future, Shakyamuni became increasingly proud.

"How dare you!"

Like a bolt from the blue, countless angry shouts rang out. In the void, countless banners fluttered, and ten warships floated in the air, surrounding the Buddhists in all directions. Countless heavenly soldiers and generals stood on the patrolling warships, their banners waving.

A divine being, bathed in the fire of the sun god and clad in golden armor, stood majestically at the bow of the ship, holding an angelic sword, and proclaimed loudly, "Put your hands down!"

Millions of heavenly soldiers shouted in unison, "Put your hands down!"

Streams of light descended from Mount Buzhou, several gates to the world opened, and immortals and gods emerged from them.

Yao Ji held the Haotian Mirror, Yang Jiao carried a halberd, Yang Jian held a three-pointed double-edged sword in both hands, and the Howling Celestial Dog beside them had a set of white teeth that gleamed coldly. Yang Chan held the Heaven and Earth Lamp and looked coldly at Shakyamuni.

A flash of red and golden light passed by, and Longji, holding the Creation Pearl, rose with imposing aura. Jinpeng, holding a World-Burning Demon Sword, displayed the power of a supreme innate treasure.

The combined pressure of several innate treasures caused even the void to groan under its strain.

"boom--"

As beams of starlight descended, the Ziwei Emperor Star instantly appeared in the void, surrounded by 365 other stars. The Hetu and Luoshu diagrams traversed the area, and a grand array filled with star power directly encircled the place. A pressure far exceeding that of a Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power appeared, causing the immortals to tremble.

"The Great Celestial Array!" a deity murmured to himself, having not seen this great array for many years!

"Fellow Daoists, what is this all about?" Guanyin and the other two were trembling with fear. They glanced at Shakyamuni without leaving a trace. Brother Duobao had really brought trouble upon himself with his words!

"Don't you understand why I've come here?" Xuan Tian stood on Ziwei Star and gave these people a cold look.

Although there were no fewer than ten quasi-saints with great supernatural powers, they were all mere chickens and dogs under the Zhou Tian Star Array.

On the ten celestial warships, ten golden crows, bathed in the fire of the sun god, wore golden armor, with red hair flowing down their backs, and each exuded majesty.

Bo Huang glanced around and said calmly, "Shakyamuni, whether you reincarnate in the Western Paradise, become a Buddha or a mortal, I don't care. But pointing one finger to the sky and one finger to the earth, claiming to be the only one worthy of respect in heaven and earth, that won't do!"

"This world belongs to Father Emperor; only the Heavenly Emperor reigns supreme!"

"Shakyamuni, put your hand down, or I will cut you down right here today!"

Countless banners billowed, and a million heavenly soldiers roared in unison, their voices shaking the entire primordial world, shouting sternly, "Put your hands down, or you will be executed without mercy!"

Shakyamuni's face turned deathly pale, and only then did he realize what mistake he had made!

His body trembled, and he shakily withdrew his arms, forcing a smile as he said, "It was this humble monk who was presumptuous."

Bo Huang's eyes were cold as he stared intently at him, then suddenly laughed: "Shakyamuni, has anyone instructed you to say such a thing?"

"No, no," Shakyamuni quickly explained. He paused for a moment, then kowtowed directly towards the direction of the Heavenly Court. "This humble immortal knows his mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing his forehead bruised and red from the kowtow, the blood even covering the bloodstains between his eyebrows, Cihang and the other two felt a pang of pity and sighed softly in unison.

"There won't be a next time. If you intend to take over Buddhism, you should know the principle that trouble comes from the mouth." Xuan Tian snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping across the primordial world, and warned in a deep voice, "You should also remember that this primordial world, whether in the heavens or on earth, belongs to my father—the Jade Emperor!"

"Only the Great Celestial Venerable can speak such words; anyone who dares to be presumptuous will be executed without mercy!"

"We respectfully obey the command of the Great Emperor Ziwei, and the Holy Might of the Great Heavenly Venerable is supreme." Respectful voices resounded throughout the prehistoric world, and Shakyamuni and Cihang and the others also kowtowed in response.

Xuan Tian nodded in satisfaction, gave Long Ji and the others a slight nod, the starlight faded, and he led Zhou Tian Xingjun away.

Yao Ji snorted coldly. Yang Jiao and the other two stood behind her. Bo Huang raised his arm, and the heavenly soldiers on the patrol warship immediately withdrew their weapons, and the murderous aura vanished.

"Go ahead, we'll watch you take over Buddhism and gain good fortune. Then I'll see if you dare to spout nonsense again." Bo Huang's smile was faint, but a layer of frost covered his brows.

Shakyamuni felt bitter. He bowed slightly and was about to ascend Mount Sumeru when Dipankara led the other Buddhas down the mountain to greet him.

"boom--"

An overwhelming pressure swept across the primordial world, causing everyone to involuntarily bend over, while joy appeared in the eyes of Longji and Jinpeng.

"唳——"

With a clear cry, five-colored divine light filled the sky, and a majestic peacock appeared in the primordial world.

Where can one find any trace of Shakyamuni at the foot of Mount Sumeru?
