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

"Before I attained enlightenment, you missed two opportunities to become my disciple. But after I become a Heavenly Saint, if I were to accept you as my disciple, you would only be ranked after those six."

"My disciple, you should understand that some things are predetermined by fate!"

Looking at the two prayer mats beside him, Haotian took a deep breath. Yes, although these two were shameless and their cultivation was not the highest in Zixiao Palace, they were representatives of the West. Whether it was the karma owed by their master or the will of Heaven, they would sit on the prayer mats.

"I could have easily accepted you two as my disciples, but after you comprehended the Heavenly Heart Finger, I could not. Forcibly mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao is still too terrifying. The Heavenly Dao will not deliberately suppress you, but it also does not like you to grow up."

Haotian listened in silence. If he was already like this at the Great Luo realm, what would happen if he were to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm or even stronger? Wouldn't the Heavenly Dao become nothing more than a plaything in his hands?

"Although your luck is strong, it is only stronger than other innate gods and demons. However, since you have become my disciple, our lucks are linked, and your future path can be described as smooth sailing. This is the reason why Heaven wants to stop you."

Hongjun's face was cold and stern as he explained the reasons to Haotian word by word. At the same time, he was also marveling at Haotian's talent, which was enough to make the Heavenly Dao take action directly.

Even if he were to merge with the Heavenly Dao in the future, he would not be in control. If Haotian were to take over, given his personality, he would never respect the Heavenly Dao. No wonder the Heavenly Dao would be afraid.

"This Primordial Lotus Diagram is Heaven's apology, or more precisely, a gesture of goodwill towards me." Hongjun's eyes were indifferent, just as Heaven was trapped in the Primordial World by him, Heaven could not do without him either.

"The sun and the moon?" Haotian sneered, looking at the futons beneath him and Yaochi. "The Heavenly Dao is exchanging them. The futons beneath the other senior brothers and sisters are in accordance with their respective Great Daos, while Yaochi and I are the sun and the moon. Does the Heavenly Dao mean that if we walk this path, it will be a smooth road ahead?"

Hongjun smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

"He offered the Primordial Lotus Diagram as an apology, and also hoped that I would persuade you. In any case, the Primordial World must have a leader. It would be better for the Primordial World to be quiet during my sermon. I originally wanted you two to be the leaders of the male and female immortals..."

"Being blessed with good fortune at this time may not be a good thing." Haotian raised his eyebrows and said softly, "If I were to form a power with Yaochi, I'm afraid the laws of the sun would directly overwhelm the principles of the Great Dao."

He has no fear of speculating about the Heavenly Dao with the utmost malice. At that time, the Heavenly Dao would probably bestow blessings upon him. Even if he breaks through, it will only be with the assistance of the Emperor's Law!

"Truly intelligent!" Hongjun clapped his hands and laughed. "Not bad. I directly bestowed the two positions upon the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother. After all, they are of pure Yang and pure Yin origins, and their status and destiny can be suppressed."

"Thank you for your planning, Master." Haotian bowed deeply. Hongjun had indeed done his best for him; even the Three Pure Ones hadn't received such treatment.

"You are the successor who best aligns with my principles, so naturally I will pave the way for you," Hongjun said with a nonchalant smile. Three beams of light descended from the auspicious clouds and floated before Haotian. "These are spiritual treasures I have crafted for you. You can use them to sever your three corpses."

Haotian pursed his lips. The sword, mirror, and tower were all top-grade innate spiritual treasures with forty-eight restrictions. Since they were of the same origin, he no longer needed to search for spiritual treasures all over the prehistoric world.

"I haven't named it yet, you can decide." Hongjun said casually, but Haotian's eyes reddened. He didn't know how much merit was required to refine a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but it must be no small amount.

"Disciple thanks Master." Haotian took him into Qingyun. For now, he could only continue to improve his cultivation so that he could help his master in the future.

"Don't worry about what Heaven will do to you. Now that the dust has settled, everything is settled. In the end, He will treat all beings equally and will not target you privately," Hongjun comforted him. "However, there are some opportunities that you will have to seize yourself."

Haotian's eyes flickered; those words were quite interesting!

"Yaochi, you have no shortage of spiritual treasures, and I don't have any suitable ones for you right now. Let's wait for the future."

"It is already a great blessing for this disciple to be able to become a disciple of Master." Yaochi shook her head. She was very content. If it weren't for Haotian, she wouldn't have had such an opportunity. After all, she was only at the late stage of the Great Luo realm. There were many innate gods and demons in the prehistoric world with higher cultivation than her.

Moreover, she was only a half-step eighth-rank Three-Flower cultivator, and her aptitude was not top-notch. She had no intention of severing all three corpses. She was very satisfied to be able to accompany Haotian.

Hongjun chuckled. Indeed, if it weren't for Haotian, he wouldn't have accepted Yaochi.

"Go ahead, the Three Pure Ones are still waiting for you. I have no objection to how you resolve the karmic entanglements between you."

"Disciples take their leave." Haotian and Yaochi stood up, watched Hongjun close his eyes, bowed solemnly, and then left Zixiao Palace.

On the cloud bed, Hongjun's figure slowly disappeared, and Zixiao Palace returned to silence.

……

"Senior brothers." At the edge of heaven and earth, the man in golden robes and the woman in fine clothes walked out and called out in unison when they saw the three cultivators standing in the chaos.

A twelve-petaled pure white lotus appeared at his feet, and a plain-colored cloud banner unfurled atop the Jade Pool, attracting the attention of the Three Pure Ones.

Haotian looked to his side, and Yaochi chuckled, "You decide."

"Junior brother, is your plain-colored cloud banner acceptable...?" Tongtian asked impatiently.

Yuanshi quickly coughed, thinking his third brother was being too uncouth. Haotian smiled and waved his hand, "It's alright, I understand what Senior Brother Tongtian means."

"But even with this Five-Fang Flag, the three senior brothers only have one set, right? So, which senior brother will be performing the corpse-slaying?"

"Of course it's the eldest brother," Yuanshi Tongtian said without hesitation.

"You..." Laozi was about to refuse when Tongtian grabbed his sleeve and laughed, "Eldest brother has protected me and second brother for many years. Besides, there is an order of seniority, so naturally eldest brother should go first."

Yuan Shi nodded in satisfaction. His third brother had grown up and become sensible.

Haotian chuckled lightly: "My three senior brothers should think this through. You three are so kind that you would exchange your karma with me for a supreme innate treasure in the future. After all, this is a debt of gratitude to me for my enlightenment."

"Besides, aren't there still two of these five flags left? What if you find them?"

Laozi waved his hand to stop his two younger brothers and said in a deep voice, "Junior brother is right. Master said that the corpse of obsession is difficult to sever. After all, we already have two Five Directions Flags in our hands, so let's use them for now."

The karma is something all three of them owed, so how could they let their two younger brothers waste their favors to get the Corpse-Slaying Treasure for him?

"Big brother..." Yuanshi frowned, and Laozi's expression turned serious as he glared at the two of them, forbidding them from continuing.

Haotian sighed inwardly, "The Three Pure Ones are truly on good terms these days!"

The thought of that azure lotus banner cast a shadow over his heart. If it was really as he imagined, then things would get interesting.

"Let's go back to the Primordial World first." Tongtian opened his mouth, but could only sigh. The group transformed into streams of light and left the Chaos.

The moment they stepped into the primordial world, the Three Pure Ones exclaimed in surprise, "An opportunity!"

Haotian's primordial spirit throbbed wildly; he sensed it too. Yaochi, however, looked bewildered; she didn't sense it.

Haotian couldn't help but look up. Sure enough, his master was right. Heaven wouldn't stop him over trivial matters.
