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

The immortals watched with anticipation as the various types of all-seeing and all-hearing beings entered the hall.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, they dared not casually extend their divine senses. Moreover, with His Majesty's imperial power supporting the Heavenly Court, even they could not observe the lower realm from the Thirty-Three Heavens. Apart from the saints, only these two could do it.

Their supernatural powers were enhanced by the Heavenly Emperor, enabling them to observe events in the primordial world. Otherwise, would the Heavenly Emperor personally inform them if something happened in the primordial world during the grand assembly of immortals?

But... why do all the saints look so surprised and doubtful, while the Three Pure Ones seem to have a sense of relief?

"Your Majesty! At Aolai Flower Fruit Mountain in the East Sea, a primordial immortal stone burst open, giving birth to a stone monkey! This monkey's eyes emitted golden light that shot into the nine heavens, shaking the entire celestial realm!"

The entire hall of immortals and gods fell silent for a moment, exchanging glances. If this was the case, this monkey must be extraordinary, capable of causing such a change in heaven and earth.

Zhulong and the Four Seas Divine Dragons had complex expressions, suggesting that this time they might be involved with their dragon clan.

Long Jibo, Huang Jinpeng and the others all looked at Lu Er. Could there be another monkey with such supernatural powers besides Senior Brother/Junior Brother Lu Er?

The Three Pure Ones raise their heads in unison, revealing a heavenly secret—Buddhism will flourish!

Haotian, however, seemed not to notice. He lightly tapped his fingertips on the imperial desk, gazing calmly at the lingering golden light over the East Sea, and slowly spoke:

"The Immortal Stone of Huaguo Mountain, having absorbed the pure energy of creation and the essence of the sun and moon over a long period of time, is in harmony with the Daoist numbers of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. It was born innately. When this stone monkey was born, its golden light shot straight up to the Dipper and the Ox. It was born with extraordinary spirituality and was by no means an ordinary mountain spirit or monster."

He paused slightly, glancing around at the immortals in the hall: "The spiritual light surges through the heavens, shaking the celestial realm, which shows that its origin contains a wild and untamed nature, unrestrained by the ordinary laws of heaven. All living things are born according to their own destiny, so there is no need to make a big fuss for now."

"The inspecting spirit official continued to observe and record its every move, waiting to see what would happen in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your decree."

Yaochi sat to one side, seemingly unintentionally adding: "Born of nature, without father or mother, not bound by bloodlines, the virtuous can be pillars of heaven and earth, but if they act recklessly, they will be a major variable in the primordial world."

The immortals' eyes flickered; was the goddess giving them a warning?

This monkey is capable of making such a commotion; if we take it under our wing and teach it properly, it will surely have the potential to become a near-saint!

Haotian twitched his finger slightly. "Orphaned?"

The Three Pure Ones parted their lips slightly. This monkey's birth was accompanied by celestial changes. No wonder His Majesty wanted them to attend the Grand Court Assembly!

But what the diva said makes a lot of sense!

As the immortals pondered, a golden-armored general arrived outside the palace and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, we request that you guide the Sage and the Bodhi Daoist into the Southern Heavenly Gate to request an audience with Your Majesty."

Before the words were finished, another divine general entered to report: "Your Majesty, the Sage Nuwa and Emperor Fuxi have arrived."

"Your Majesty, the four sages have arrived in the Tongming Hall." A divine general with a distinctly different attire bowed. Xuan Tian's eyes narrowed; it was none other than Wang Lingguan, the head of his five hundred spirit officials.

As the immortals listened to the reports, their expressions changed from solemn to numb. What kind of monkey was this that had attracted four saints?

The Three Pure Ones' expressions darkened. Those two were really fast. But what were Nuwa and Fuxi doing here?

Suddenly noticing a gaze, the three turned their heads slightly and saw Zhen Yuanzi's meaningful look. They instantly understood that as long as they had the Bodhi of Assistance, Zhen Yuanzi would definitely oppose them.

Having apparently discerned their intentions, Sanqing offered his assistance. With a barely perceptible nod, the four formed an alliance without making a sound.

Haotian Yaochi, seated high on his imperial throne, watched the deathly silence in the hall. The immortals and saints all seemed to be doing nothing unusual, which made them realize that there must be undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

"Take four fellow Daoists to Longde Palace."

"Yes." The divine general kowtowed and went to convey the imperial decree. Venus understood, flicked his whisk, and loudly announced, "Court adjourned!"

All the immortals bowed in unison: "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty and Her Majesty."

After the music faded and the Emperor and Empress were no longer on the throne, the immortals began to discuss the matter, their joy at leaving get off work vanishing without a trace.

Sanqing, Zhen Yuanzi, Kong Xuanzhulong and others strode out of the Lingxiao Palace, followed closely by Longjibo Huangluer.

Bai Ze Tu Shan shrugged. Every time the Grand Council ended, ten years would pass in the mortal realm.

These two were saints, but their duties were far from easy. Even after the court session, they had to start working, arranging the supplies requested by the immortals and coordinating the appropriate immortals and gods.

……

"Your subject pays homage to the Great Heavenly Venerable, wishing Your Majesty and Empress eternal bliss and boundless longevity."

As soon as Haotian Yaochi entered Longde Palace, he saw four people bowing down. The respect shown by the Bodhi Receiving One was no less than that shown by the immortals in Lingxiao Palace. Fuxi, on the other hand, looked calm and even gave Nuwa, who had a look of anxiety between her brows, a comforting glance.

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Majesty." Sanqing Zhenyuanzi Kunpeng followed closely behind, and Longjibo Huangluer also arrived one after another. "Greetings, Father Emperor and Mother Empress/Master and Uncle, greetings to all Uncle Masters."

"You're all here, please sit down." Haotian smiled gently, watching as the fairy maidens poured the fine wine and tea. With a single glance, Taibai Jinxing dismissed them.

As Haotian Yaochi sipped his drink, he observed the expressions of the assembled saints, each one burdened with their own thoughts, their brows furrowed with anticipation.

"Speak."

Bodhi stood up immediately and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, that stone monkey is destined to be my disciple."

Long Jibohuang and the others who had not yet attained enlightenment looked dazed. It had been a long time since they had heard those words. Lu Er's eyes were particularly complicated. This sage had said those words to him personally back then, and was later dealt with by his master.

However, he still dares to say such things now, even in the Dragon Virtue Palace, where not only his master is present, but also all the saints.

To his surprise, none of the saints, including his master, refuted him, as if they had agreed, which greatly astonished Lu Er.

"What you say is true. The heavenly secrets show that this monkey is indeed destined for you," Haotian said slowly, putting down his teacup.

The Three Pure Ones' eyes flashed. His Majesty only said that they were destined to be together, instead of directly establishing a master-disciple relationship.

"Your Majesty is right. It is true that you are destined to meet him, but I do not agree to you taking him as your disciple." A clear voice suddenly rang out, Nuwa's pretty face was frosty, and she glanced at Bodhi with disdain.

"Senior Sister, this is a decree from Heaven, not something I made up on a whim." Bodhi felt somewhat aggrieved. It was rare for Heaven to directly favor him, giving him a significant advantage. Why was Nuwa, who hadn't been involved in the affairs of the Three Realms for so long, the first to object?

"Does the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao necessarily mean we must obey it?" Zhen Yuanzi glanced at him. "This primordial world isn't just inhabited by the Heavenly Dao. Why isn't my Earthly Dao reacting? The Human Dao sages Fuxi and Zhulong are also here. Why don't you ask them?"

Bodhi's face showed anger. Fuxi is Nuwa's brother. Would he abandon Nuwa to help this poor Taoist?

Zhulong always followed His Majesty's lead. Since His Majesty had not spoken, why would he dare to say anything?

"Zhen Yuanzi, don't try to be unreasonable. I don't believe you can't sense it. The birth of this monkey revealed heavenly secrets. He is the key to the great revival of Buddhism and is related to the restoration of the Western Earth Veins. I will never give in!"

"Senior Sister Nuwa, this matter still needs His Majesty's decision. Although you are a saint of the demon race, the Demon Summoning Banner is still in Fellow Daoist Kunpeng's hands. That stone monkey has not yet entered Nuwa Palace to pay homage, nor has he joined the Demon Cult."

Jieyin picked up the conversation and reminded Bodhi not to be led astray by Zhenyuanzi.
