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

As the saints took their leave one by one, blood mist drifted down from the void, and three streams of light flew back to the Three Pure Ones Heaven. Haotian Yaochi withdrew his gaze at the same time.

Kong Xuan shook his head; Bodhi, the guide, still couldn't escape this fate.

"How could Senior Brother agree to this?" Yaochi's eyes flashed with displeasure. Even if they could capture the stone monkey in the end, it wouldn't sound good to others.

How can a powerful institution of the Three Realms maintain its dignity when it is disturbed by a monkey?

Haotian chuckled: "Junior sister, you're overthinking it. Bodhi has a point. Let that monkey cause some trouble, and when the journey to the West ends, we'll share even more of the fortune."

"Could it be that Junior Sister is worried that others will follow suit after the monkeys cause trouble?" Haotian sneered. "I want to see a monkey show because I'm bored. If others dare to come, that will be a real warning to others."

Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Master is right. The majesty of the Heavenly Court is known to all the great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world. Afterwards, if anyone wanted to learn from that monkey to enhance their prestige, the heavenly soldiers and generals would not be mobilized in large numbers for a long time."

Yaochi could only shake her head as she looked at the master and disciple.

"What brings you here?" Haotian sipped his tea, raising his eyebrows slightly to look at Kong Xuan.

Now that he's finished dealing with matters in Heaven, he should return to the Undying Volcano to check on Yuan Feng.

"Disciple has something to ask of Master." Kong Xuan knelt down, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Haotian put down his teacup: "Stand up and speak."

Kong Xuan paused for a moment, then stood up in the hall: "This disciple wishes to use the fortune of the human race to bring my mother back to life as soon as possible."

Yaochi put down her teacup and stared intently at him: "What do you want to do?"

The destiny of the human race, back in the days of the Hundred Schools of Thought, was manifested by the phoenix as the successor of the human race. This part of the destiny was left by Kong Xuan for the resurrection of Yuan Feng. If this continues, it should be successful in tens of thousands of years.

"It was the inspiration that Uncle Bodhi gave to his disciple. He asked the human emperor to order a search for Buddhist teachings. If the journey to the west is completed, Buddhism will surely surpass Confucianism and Taoism in popularity in the Nine Provinces."

"At present, even the Three Pure Ones don't have a good idea. They need Buddhism to provide them with good fortune, but in my opinion, Buddhism cannot be the only one that can dominate."

"When the time is right, I will intervene and help the Empress Dowager revive," Kong Xuan said, his expression somewhat uneasy.

A smile flashed in Haotian's eyes, while Yaochi was somewhat astonished: "To suppress a sect's lineage in the Nine Provinces, only the Emperor himself could do so. And you are also accelerating Yuanfeng's resurrection. The only one whose fortune surpasses that of the Empress is the Emperor himself."

"You want to establish an empress?"

"Yes." Kong Xuan raised his head, his eyes hardening. "Firstly, for the sake of Confucianism and Taoism, and secondly, for my mother. Only by suppressing the dragon with the phoenix can we obtain enough fortune, after all, my mother was once known as the Phoenix."

"What did Senior Brother say?" Yaochi tilted her head.

Haotian chuckled: "His plan is all laid out before me, what can I say?"

"Thank you, Master." Kong Xuan was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow.

"We are master and disciple, there's no need for such formalities," Haotian chuckled. "Buddhism can flourish, but it can't be too rampant in the East. Your Three Pure Ones will surely agree to what you've done, but..."

"Please enlighten me, Master." Kong Xuan looked puzzled and somewhat doubtful. Had he overlooked something?

"Since the time of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the dragon race has been the master of the human emperors. You need to discuss this with Zhulong in advance."

"Secondly, to ascend to the throne, one must possess the Purple Star Imperial Qi; you must go to Xuan Tian to obtain it."

Kong Xuan cupped his hands in greeting: "Disciple understands."

Haotian nodded: "You should also make arrangements with Huoyun Cave in advance, so that no one notices anything amiss and ruins your plans."

"Yes, with Yu the Great here, Huoyun Cave shouldn't have any objections," Kong Xuan replied.

"I will also have Shao Hao speak on your behalf."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master."

"Finally, the Empress will inevitably launch a coup after ascending to the throne. You should keep a close watch on things and prevent excessive bloodshed. After all, it was your arrangement, otherwise it will cause a backlash from the destiny, and the losses will outweigh the gains."

Kong Xuan straightened up: "This disciple will be careful."

Yaochi smiled and said, "If the Empress is able to give up the throne in the end, she can be brought into the Lishan Sect to cultivate."

"When her time is up, I will tell her about this." Kong Xuan bowed. The first female emperor, even if she could not compare to Ying Zheng on Ziwei Star, would not be inferior.

Perhaps if we help our mothers to be resurrected, they will lend a hand in return.

"Alright, go and get on with it. It won't be long before this ancient land becomes lively."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Master. This disciple will take his leave." Kong Xuan bowed and slowly withdrew from Longde Palace.

Only the Emperor and Empress remained in Longde Palace. Venus stood to one side, with celestial maidens behind him watching the jade table and refilling tea as needed.

Yaochi gently stroked her teacup and asked softly, "Bodhi, this time... did you gain or lose?"

"That depends on what he thinks." Haotian paused for a moment. "His and Jieyin's greatest wish is to repair the Western Earth Veins. This will surely be accomplished after Buddhism flourishes. Shakyamuni has done a good job these past years. Once the journey to the West is over, all their great vows will be fulfilled."

"But merit..."

Yaochi raised her head: "At most, you can break through to the third level of the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

"Not bad." Haotian nodded. "If the Three Pure Ones hadn't intervened, with their good fortune bestowed upon them, they would have been at least at the fourth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm."

"In any case, all the great vows have been fulfilled, and I can now improve my cultivation level through practice." Yaochi gently shook her head. "This guy is throwing caution to the wind, making things difficult for Senior Brother Sanqing. He sent three spots to the Heavenly Court all at once. Has Senior Brother decided who to assign to them?"

Haotian paused for a moment: "Do you have a candidate for junior sister?"

"There really isn't one right now." Yaochi frowned. "The highest cultivation level among those who go can only be a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or even one realm lower. Jiao'er and Jian'er are both breaking through, and Chan'er is a woman, which is inconvenient, not to mention she has Senior Sister Nuwa protecting her... Senior Brother, you should choose!"

Haotian pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "The journey to the west is also a test of the mind, and those around us..."

He glanced at the diligently standing guard, his lips moved slightly, and Yaochi hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

"And one more?"

"Let's see if Longji Bohuang and the others have any suitable men under their command." Haotian shook his head. That Tianpeng is in charge of the 100,000-strong Tianhe Navy. Before Xuantian was promoted to True Martial Marshal, the two were colleagues for many years and still have a good relationship now.

Even as a late-stage Great Luo Immortal, Tianpeng might not be willing to descend to the mortal realm.

"As for the mount, give it to the Dragon Clan!" Haotian waved his hand dismissively. Over the years, the Dragon Clan had remained well-behaved and had not become arrogant at all just because a Saint had emerged.

"Senior Brother's arrangements are indeed impeccable." Yaochi smiled sweetly. "Then let's wait for them to report the impending calamity. How will our Heavenly Court make its arrangements?"

"Senior Brother Sanqing is sensible and lets me arrange everything." Haotian chuckled. "I'll just divide them equally, two for each of us, and the other saints won't ask for too much."

"Taibai, you will descend to the mortal realm and use the merits and fortune gained from your journey to the West to break through to the peak of Quasi-Saint."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Venus bowed.

Haotian's eyes flashed coldly: "Once Senior Brother Sanqing has prepared the world he has created, it is time to clean up the dregs of the prehistoric world and drive them all into the Western Journey World."

Venus remained completely still, his eyes closed and his mind focused, not daring to move an inch. The curtain behind him and the celestial maidens also made no sound.

Yaochi's phoenix eyes flickered slightly as she looked down at the lower realm: "There's nothing we can do about it; it has to be cleaned up eventually."

As time marches on, the world will inevitably accumulate malevolent energy, and the number of cultivators in the primordial era will also increase, inevitably leading to the emergence of some evil and heretical forces.

If left unchecked, the accumulated turbid and malevolent energy will eventually cause a new great calamity. However, when Kong Xuan established Confucianism last time, he directly eliminated 30% of the calamity energy.

This time, my senior brother intends to inject all the turbid and evil energy into it, and at the same time cleanse the immortals and gods who are tainted by karma, thus postponing the great calamity once again.

"Taibai, go and tell Kunpeng to clean up the evil demons of the Demon Cult."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go immediately."

"There must be some evil dragons among the dragon race, as well as those from Buddhism and Taoism. I hope they will take action themselves when they see this," Haotian muttered to himself, his voice echoing throughout the Dragon Virtue Palace.
