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

Five-colored divine light traversed the void, and the oppressive aura of a saint permeated the air, making every cultivator who sensed it feel as if Mount Buzhou was pressing down on them.

Their primordial spirits throbbed wildly, warning them that they had no power to resist!

The immortals were horrified. The Five Elements Laws of Heaven and Earth were in turmoil, and the Five Elements Qi were constantly gathering, as if a new Five Elements World had been created in the primordial world.

The majestic, five-colored peacock stood in the void, its phoenix head sweeping over Mount Sumeru, a sharp glint flashing in its narrow eyes. With a slight exertion of its golden claws, it embedded itself into the space beneath.

"We pay our respects to the Sage Confucius!" The immortals bowed deeply.

"Congratulations on the Clan Chief's attainment of enlightenment." Above the Southern Undying Volcano, different divine birds circled and cried out loudly. Elder Xuanfeng, with tears in his eyes, kowtowed repeatedly.

Five phoenixes—Golden Phoenix, Azure Luan, Swan, Phoenix, and Yuanchu—gathered together, leading a hundred birds to spread their wings in the void, their heads bowing towards the five-colored peacock.

The Phoenix Clan's former glory, once swept away by the decline of its former glory, has finally reappeared after the new clan leader attained enlightenment.

"Congratulations on your enlightenment, Senior Brother!" Whether it was Longji Bohuang, Xuandu Nanjizi, Cihang Manjushri Maitreya, or others, they all bowed and offered their congratulations.

The chief disciple of the Xuanmen lineage, appointed by the Dao Ancestor, has today attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan!

Kong Xuanfeng nodded slightly, her slender golden beak opened, and a melodious sound like the clinking of gold and jade was emitted, carrying a special charm that seemed to linger for three days.

"Fellow Daoists, please rise. I am merely taking my leave first. My primordial world is protected by the Great Heavenly Venerable, and I wish that all beings may attain the Dao."

"Honorable and supreme Jade Emperor, the most venerable and true ruler of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven!"

The immortals praised the Heavenly Emperor with respectful expressions. Five-colored divine light surged, and the peacock's original form disappeared, transforming into a man dressed in green.

His figure was as upright as an ancient pine tree. He was a handsome young man in his early twenties with a face as smooth as white jade. His sword-like eyebrows were slanted upwards and extended to his temples. His long, narrow phoenix eyes held the divine light of the five elements. The five colors of blue, yellow, red, white, and black flowed in the depths of his pupils. His nose was straight and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He had the aloof and noble air that a phoenix descendant was born with. Even without anger, he had a sharp edge that was intimidating.

"Brother, congratulations." Jin Peng, clad in golden armor, looked at him with a smile. His elder brother was still the same elder brother, but his aura was unfathomable.

Kong Xuan smiled upon hearing this: "You have also gained a lot of merit this time. Try to achieve the Three Corpses Unity as soon as possible."

"Junior sister, you must also sever your three corpses as soon as possible."

Longji nodded: "Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing."

"Bo Huang, you are still in the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint. You should break through as soon as possible. Even if you don't take the path of the Three Corpses Merging, you should still sever the evil corpse." Kong Xuan glanced at Mount Sumeru, "so that some ignorant people won't dare to speak recklessly."

Randeng led the Buddhas down the mountain, his face bitter, and Cihang and the others also bowed their heads and remained silent.

"What my junior brother says is true. Some of the younger ones do need to be taught a lesson." The voice came down from the heavens, and the Buddha's light spread out, calming the unease of the immortals.

The guide, dressed in a grey monk's robe, and the bodhi Taoist, dressed in a Taoist robe, arrived hand in hand. Everyone greeted them, saying, "Greetings, Holy Guide and Holy Bodhi."

Kong Xuan also cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings to my two senior uncles."

Bodhi nodded with a smile: "Nephew, you are too kind. You have just attained enlightenment and have already broken through to the peak of the third level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, surpassing me and Senior Brother Jieyin. You truly deserve to be His Majesty's first disciple."

"No matter what my status as a disciple is, I am still a junior, and proper etiquette must not be disregarded," Kong Xuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Bodhi blinked. This kid considered himself a junior, so he didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

Jieyin sighed, "Nephew, Shakyamuni is the new Buddha of our Buddhism. I wonder if it is possible to release him?"

Kong Xuan was surprised that it was this Sage of Reception who was pleading for mercy, not his senior brother, the Three Pure Ones. Duobao was actually usurping Buddhism.

It seems they've reached some kind of agreement.

The guide, with one hand raised to his chest and the rosary beads jingling at his fingertips, said: "I have come by the decree of the Heavenly Emperor, requesting my nephew to release Shakyamuni."

Longji and the others' eyes flickered slightly. It seemed to be true. The Sage of Reception wouldn't dare to falsely convey the Emperor's decree.

Why hasn't the Emperor issued a decree? Is he telling us to handle this?

Kong Xuan glanced at the Heavenly Court, but the celestial aura was ethereal and he couldn't see it clearly.

"His Majesty has decreed that Dipankara Buddha abdicates and becomes Dipankara Buddha of the past; Shakyamuni Buddha, carrying the golden lotus of creation, enters Buddhism and becomes Prabhutaratna Buddha of the present; and Maitreya Buddha of the future. This is the Three Buddhas of the Three Times."

"Medicine Buddha, you are hereby appointed as the direct disciple of the Western Sect and shall be the master of the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli. You may be called the Pure Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha."

"Disciple obeys the Emperor's decree." The people whose names were called bowed. Bodhi turned his head, and Jieyin showed no sign of anything unusual. He looked at Kong Xuan and said, "Nephew, you have attained the Primordial Dao. Our Buddhist sect should also congratulate you. However, now that your cultivation is higher than that of this humble monk, you probably do not care about some worldly things."

He pointed to the Five Elements World behind Kong Xuan and slowly said, "You swallowed Shakyamuni, which can be called giving birth to the Buddha. Since the abdication of the Buddha Mother Cundi, no one in our Buddhism has been able to take on this position."

"You are the mother of the present Buddha, therefore you should be further honored as the Peacock King Bodhisattva, and may be called the Peacock Buddha Mother!"

Bodhi's eyes suddenly lit up. Senior brother, you really have some impressive skills!

Kong Xuan lowered his eyes. His master had given an oral decree that Duobao could not be killed. The five-colored divine light behind him receded, and the five elements dispersed, gathering on the Heaven and Earth Chisel in his hand.

The sharp point of the chisel gleamed coldly, causing Jieyin and Zhunti's pupils to shrink abruptly.

The innate treasure bestowed by their master, not to mention the treasure of the three corpses merging into one that Kong Xuan has not yet revealed. The Emperor's Tower of Heaven left an indelible impression on them.

The void returned to calm, and Shakyamuni reappeared before everyone's eyes. He sat weakly on the Golden Lotus of Creation. If it weren't for the protection of this innate treasure, his physical body might have been shattered by the five-colored divine light.

Kong Xuan surveyed the void, his gaze sweeping over Jieyin and Zhunti before finally settling on Duobao. Though his voice was soft, it resonated throughout the Three Realms.

"My master is the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable. No matter what you think in your hearts or what path you want to take, you must carefully consider what you say in the future."

"If I hear such words of self-importance and defying the heavens again, I will kill you on the spot."

"The majesty of the Heavenly Emperor must not be challenged. My master ascended to the throne by slaying emperors and saints. If you dare to be presumptuous, we, as master and disciple, will not hesitate to show no mercy!"

Kong Xuan's voice was steady and powerful, and his whole being was heroic and awe-inspiring, possessing both the imposing presence of a general on the battlefield and the elegant grace of an ancient mythical bird.

Bodhi quickly lowered his eyelids and whispered in agreement.

This domineering personality is so similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor back then!

All living beings also lowered their heads and remained silent. In the past, there were demonic people who clamored to defy and kill the heavens, but they were not taken seriously by the Heavenly Dao.

However, even the most arrogant immortal cultivators, like the Tongtian Sect Master, only cultivated the Dao of Intercepting Heaven, and yet they were still defeated and their sect was destroyed.

After the Great Celestial Venerable attained enlightenment, even the Heavenly Dao willingly accepted the Great Celestial Venerable's throne. Although the immortals did not say it aloud, they all tacitly regarded the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World and even the Three Thousand Worlds as the Heavenly Emperor's "Heaven!"

Even cultivators who practice demonic arts dare not utter such defying and destructive words.

Today, Shakyamuni has truly been caught red-handed.

Duobao rose and bowed to Kong Xuan: "Greetings, Your Majesty. This humble monk knows his mistake and will never speak recklessly again."

Kong Xuan glanced at him, then suddenly burst out laughing: "It's good that my son knows his mistake."

"throat--"

Someone couldn't hold back and let out a strange laugh, while Longji and the others bit their lips tightly.

The Golden Roc cackled strangely, then transformed into a palm-sized golden-winged roc and landed on Shakyamuni's shoulder: "Good nephew, call me uncle."

Shakyamuni's face turned ashen, but given the situation, he could only bow his head and say, "Uncle."
