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

Seeing that Xuan Tian had been affected by him and even received a beating from his senior uncle, Jin Peng felt somewhat embarrassed and touched his cheek, saying awkwardly, "Junior brother."

Lu Er coughed lightly, but his eyes remained firm: "Senior brother, I still maintain that we cannot act according to the Heavenly Laws!"

"We now hold high positions and are fortunate to be accepted as disciples by our master. We have surpassed 99% of the cultivators in the prehistoric world. Our Heavenly Court governs the prehistoric world, and we are also people of the Heavenly Court. It is only right and proper for us to benefit all living beings in the Three Realms."

"Senior brother's path is his own. Although I cultivate the Battle Law and am naturally warlike, that is related to my past experiences and my own bloodline."

"Over the years, I have carefully considered the path ahead. My master's strength surpasses that of all the saints, yet he has always maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards the development of the sects of our senior uncles and masters. Otherwise, if the imperial edict were issued, who in the primordial world would disobey it?"

Jin Peng listened thoughtfully, Hao Tian's eyes were full of admiration, while Xuan Tian was stunned. Had he also stood too high?

The saints looked at Lu Er with a strange gaze. Of the Heavenly Emperor's three disciples, only this one was not particularly outstanding in terms of talent, but he was still a seventh-grade, three-flower master. His ordinariness was relative to Kong Xuan, Jin Peng, and Long Ji Xuan Tian.

Moreover, as one of the four mischievous monkeys, he was already known for his volatile temper, yet he was able to say such a thing.

Lu Er ignored them and continued, "When we are in a high position, we must restrain our nature when facing those in a low position. We cannot act solely on our desires, otherwise this primordial world will eventually solidify into a stagnant pool."

"What Master once said, 'Having seen the vastness of the universe, one still cherishes the green of grass and trees,' is exactly like this. This stone monkey has just been born and has not done anything wrong. If I were to devour it directly, according to the principle of the survival of the fittest, it would be a waste of Master's decision to take me in."

"At the very least, what Master wants is definitely not a disciple who only knows how to fight; what difference is there between that and a puppet?"

Lu Er respectfully kowtowed towards the imperial throne, "I have failed my master's good intentions, please forgive me."

The Longde Palace was quiet. Everyone looked at Lu Er with complicated expressions, not expecting that he, who had always kept a low profile, would have such insights.

"What you say is very good. It was I who was short-sighted." Haotian lifted Lu Er up, and the latter looked at Jin Peng and continued to persuade him, "Senior brother, your temperament is too domineering, but I think you should cultivate your character."

"You are right that devouring the Spirit Stone Monkey did not violate the Heavenly Laws. But let alone those of us in high positions, even for ordinary cultivators, if we only take the Heavenly Laws as our code of conduct, then what is morality?"

"Senior Brother Kong Xuan's Confucian ideals further elevate morality within the framework of human laws. Isn't the respect that Uncle Zhen Yuan enjoys among all living beings in the prehistoric world a reward for his virtuous conduct?"

"And there were also the Jie Sect, which was once under the command of my Uncle Tongtian, and the two Uncles Jieyin and Bodhi, who once carried out similar actions..."

Lu Er stopped talking, and Jin Peng's expression kept changing. After a long while, he finally let out a sigh of relief, cupped his hands towards Lu Er, and said, "Brother, I have learned a lot."

Tongtian was embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Laozi and Yuanshi glared at him. The former disciple of the Jie Sect had not only failed to have any morals, but also failed to follow the Heavenly Laws as a code of conduct.

As for the Bodhisattvas, the fact that they were opposed by everyone to accept the Spiritual Stone Monkey was retribution for their past immoral acts.

Zhen Yuanzi, however, chuckled and stroked his beard, saying, "Nephew, you certainly know how to talk."

"That's true, Fellow Daoist is always respected," Yaochi added with a smile.

"With this insight, your progress in the realms before Hunyuan will be unimpeded." Haotian looked at Lu Er, his tone full of admiration.

He turned to look at Xuan Tian, ​​whose son was deep in thought. A glint flashed in Hao Tian's eyes as an unbelievable idea surfaced in his mind.

"Xuantian, haven't you realized it yet?"

"What?" Xuan Tian looked up, his face a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.

"Do you still have any compassion for all living beings?" Haotian roared, his voice like a resounding bell entering Xuan Tian's sea of ​​consciousness. "Have you forgotten the path you came from?"

"Buzz—"

The Daoist aura permeated the air, and pure sunlight shone through his body. Xuan Tian Yuan Shen was deeply moved, and he felt as if he was about to develop a brain (not really), but there was a hint of sadness on his face.

A look of joy appeared in Lao Tzu's eyes. Was this the emergence of his obsession?

Haotian sighed, then bowed deeply to Xuantian, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Father."

Get up.

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

"Now that you have some understanding of obsession, it's time to untie the knot in your heart." Haotian shook his head. "My words back then really came true; it was indeed you who couldn't let go."

The hall was quiet. Xuan Tian's eyes were bright, and he seemed to have been reborn: "Father had his reasons back then. It was your son who was too immersed in the past."

His obsession was actually with himself when he was weak!

When he was first born, he was powerless to fight back and was almost killed by his father. He kept this thought buried in his heart. It turned out that his father had never let him go.

When he first came to Heaven to assume a divine position, he shamelessly said that his father didn't need to take it to heart. But as his father had said, it was he himself who couldn't get over it.

If it weren't for Senior Brother Lu Er's words that awakened him today, he would have forgotten the path he had walked. He also had times when he was weak. If he continued to act according to the law of the jungle, wouldn't that be indirectly killing his past self?

Having been in a high position for too long, he needs to cultivate his mind!

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother." Xuan Tian bowed to Lu Er.

Lu Er's lips moved, but he could only respond with a smile.

Brother, how come you're just like our master, suddenly gaining enlightenment while talking?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty and Your Highness, congratulations, Senior Brother." The saints bowed to the three of them. Bringing up the matter of the Heavenly Emperor killing his son was still a bit awkward, so it was better to just offer their congratulations directly.

Haotian nodded in acceptance, while Laozi chuckled and a Taiji phantom floated out from his palm, imprinting itself on Xuantian's sea of ​​consciousness and sealing his realm: "Your Dao heart is unstable. Wait until your Dao heart is stable before severing your corpse. Anyway, you have already comprehended the obsession, so there is no need to rush."

"Yes, disciple understands." Xuan Tian bowed and sat down next to Long Ji, smiling gently at her hesitant gaze.

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Lu Er is unwilling to devour the Spirit Stone Monkey, and the fellow Daoists have agreed that I should take him as my disciple. I dare to request Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict."

Seeing that everyone was still immersed in what had just happened, Bodhi knelt down and said that once the imperial decree was issued, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa would have no room to go back on their word.

Long Ji and Xuan Tian exchanged a glance, while Jin Peng, Bo Huang, and Lu Er also stared blankly. They clearly saw the faces of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, their senior uncles/aunts, twitch.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa looked at Bodhi with unfriendly expressions. In their desperation, they had no other choice but to do their best to protect the Spiritual Stone Monkey, which unexpectedly created an opportunity for Bodhi.

Not to mention that there are still juniors in the hall, even if Longji and the others leave, they wouldn't dare to back out.

Tongtian gave a soft snort and simply closed his eyes, preferring to ignore it!

That wretched Zhunti, you just wait!

Haotian shook his head. Lu Er was unwilling to devour the Spirit Stone Monkey, so in his eyes, the stone monkey had lost its greatest value. Since the saints were unwilling to fight over it, then let Bodhi have his way.

"Yes, the Spiritual Stone Monkey shall become Bodhi's disciple."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Jieyin quickly followed suit and knelt down. In any case, this monkey had finally been accepted as a disciple.

The Three Pure Ones' divine senses surged, clearly discussing what to do next. Nuwa snorted coldly, "Junior brother, you'd better teach him properly!"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will teach him everything I know," Bodhi replied with a smile. He glanced around and cautiously asked, "I have a request I'd like to discuss with you all. Is that alright?"
