In this primordial world, this Hongyun is too cowardly!

Chapter 106 The Selection of the Heavenly Emperor, the Peach Banquet!

Red Cloud is the Heavenly Emperor?!

In that instant, those who hadn't previously cared about the so-called Heavenly Emperor's position in the Heavenly Court all hurriedly spoke up.

Taiqing Laozi, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti all looked at Hongjun.

"Master, I believe that although Fellow Daoist Hongyun is powerful and has great fortune, he should not be appointed as the Heavenly Emperor."

Zhunti stepped forward and addressed Hongjun.

"Oh? What explanation do you have, Fellow Daoist Zhunti?"

"Looking across the vast land, Hongyun's strength is unparalleled. Even those of you present here are probably no match for him."

"Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Hongyun has possessed extremely profound fortune since his birth. With such great fortune bestowed upon him, why can't he assume the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhunti.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti was somewhat speechless.

What Zhen Yuanzi said was indeed true.

Looking across the primordial world, perhaps apart from the reclusive Hongjun and the Goddess Pingxin, no one could rival Hongyun.

Therefore, Hongyun is even less qualified to serve as the Heavenly Emperor.

Hongyun's strength already surpassed theirs, and if he were to truly become the Heavenly Emperor, he would nominally be able to command them, who were saints.

How is this possible?!

As supreme saints, how could they allow anyone to actually ride on their heads?

"Teacher, I also believe that Hongyun is unfit to be the Heavenly Emperor."

"Hongyun has a profound destiny and has attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal. He is therefore exceptionally blessed. If he were to become the Heavenly Emperor and rule the Primordial World, ninety percent of the world's destiny would probably be bestowed upon Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

"At that time, the fortune of billions of living beings in the entire prehistoric world will be greatly reduced, which is not a good thing."

Seeing that Zhunti had no response, Taiqing Laozi stepped forward and spoke directly.

"This disciple seconds it!"

Immediately afterwards, the sages Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, and Jieyin also directly echoed this sentiment.

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi gave a slight cold snort.

Zhen Yuanzi naturally knew the thoughts of the Six Sages of the Primordial World; their claim of monopolizing ninety percent of the world's fortune was utter nonsense.

These sages simply did not want Hongyun to become the Heavenly Emperor.

The others who hold the position of saint can disobey orders, since they are saints and the others do not have the power to command them.

If Hongyun were to become the Heavenly Emperor, the situation would be different. Hongyun's strength is terrifying and unparalleled. If they disobey his orders, Hongyun's strength would be enough to suppress them in an instant.

"Since you all believe that Hongyun is unfit to be the Heavenly Emperor, who among you would recommend him?" Zhen Yuanzi then asked in a mocking tone.

"I know that my disciple is Daoist Duobao!"

"Any of my twelve Golden Immortal disciples is acceptable!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun ignored Zhen Yuanzi's mocking tone and continued to recommend their own people.

"It's ridiculous. A bunch of people with low qualifications and weak abilities dare to covet the position of the Heavenly Emperor. It's laughable."

Hearing their words, Zhen Yuanzi chuckled in exasperation, then looked up at Hongjun above: "May I ask, Ancestor, does the position of Heavenly Emperor require the strongest aptitude and the greatest fortune to be held?"

Hongjun glanced at Zhenyuanzi indifferently and slowly said, "That's how it is. The position of Heavenly Emperor can only be held by those with strong aptitude and fortune."

"In that case, I recommend my nephew Zhao Gongming to the Dao Ancestor."

"Zhao Gongming possesses the foundation of a top-tier innate god and demon, and his aptitude is in no way inferior to our saints. He was even taken in as a disciple by Hongyun, and now his strength is that of a top-tier Grand Luo Golden Immortal, with incomparably profound fortune."

Zhen Yuanzi slightly cupped his hands and looked at Hongjun, then turned his gaze to Taiqing and the others, as if to say, "What do you have to say now?"

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi recommend Zhao Gongming again, the expressions of the assembled sages changed.

They had met Zhao Gongming before; his aptitude was indeed that of a top-tier innate god or demon, and with Hongyun as his teacher, they knew just how strong his luck was.

However, this is yet another uncontrollable character!

The difference between Zhao Gongming and Hongyun being appointed Heavenly Emperor is not significant.

If Zhao Gongming were to become the Heavenly Emperor, these saints would probably still be at his beck and call.

"This disciple believes it is unacceptable..."

As soon as Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and the others began arguing again.

For a time, the entire Zixiao Palace was in complete chaos.

"alright!"

"Since we can't recommend them..."

"Haotian, Yaochi."

Seeing the group still arguing, Hongjun waved his hand slightly and looked at the two attendants from Haotian Yaochi beside him.

"Dao Ancestor!"

Haotian, Yaochi bowed respectfully.

"From this day forward, Haotian, you shall be the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court. I bestow upon you the Haotian Mirror and the Haotian Sword, both of which are top-tier innate spiritual treasures."

"Yaochi, you are the Heavenly Empress of the Heavenly Court. I bestow upon you a Primordial Peach Tree, a top-tier innate spiritual root, and a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Purifying Spirit Pot."

"From now on, you two shall join hands to rule the Heavenly Court and govern the primordial world!"

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun made his decision, everyone present showed a slight change in expression.

A mere child or maiden has become the Heavenly Emperor and Empress?!

That's utter nonsense!

However, despite this, the Three Pure Ones and the others did not object. In any case, as long as Hongyun and Zhao Gongming, the master and disciple, did not become the Heavenly Emperor, it would be a good thing.

"Alright, that's settled then. You can all go back now!"

Immediately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, directly transforming Haotian and Yaochi, who were originally children, into young men.

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, no one dared to object. They glanced at Haotian and Yaochi before leaving.

Although Haotian and Yaochi became the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, their strength was weak, and the other saints would never listen to them.

However, Haotian and Yaochi were overjoyed at that moment.

They never expected that the position of Lord of the Heavenly Court in this primordial world would actually fall to them.

This is the position that controls the highest authority in the primordial world. There are many innate gods and demons in the primordial world with abundant talent and great strength!

They were just attendants of the Dao Ancestor; they never expected to have such an opportunity.

Immediately, the two bowed to Hongjun again in gratitude.

Hongjun didn't say much about this, but simply told the two to leave Zixiao Palace as soon as possible and go to the Heavenly Court to take up their posts.

……

Longevity Hill, Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi also returned from Zixiao Palace. Upon his return, he went directly to the backyard where Chen Ye was and told him what had happened at Zixiao Palace.

Chen Ye smiled slightly at this: "It was expected. How could the Dao Ancestor possibly hand over the position of Heavenly Emperor to an outsider?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly.

On the way back, Zhen Yuanzi sensed something was amiss. It was possible that the Dao Ancestor had already planned to hand over the position of Heavenly Emperor to Haotian and Yaochi, and that their visit was merely a formality.

"Old friend, what's wrong with you?!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Yuanzi looked at the innate treasure, the Time-Space Mirror, in front of Chen Ye and showed a hint of doubt.

This innate treasure, the Time-Space Mirror, seems somewhat different from before?!

The entire innate treasure actually began to faintly emanate a powerful chaotic spiritual might.

The power of this time-space mirror is clearly much stronger than before. What exactly happened?

Chen Ye smiled slightly and then explained his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was also shocked.

"Upgrade the Time-Space Mirror to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure?"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Only an old friend would dare to have such a thought!"

Zhen Yuanzi's face showed a hint of surprise.

A chaotic spiritual treasure!

How many of these could there be in the entire primordial world?!

The only thing Zhen Yuanzi had ever seen was probably the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc in the Netherworld.

The power of this Six Paths of Reincarnation is boundless, enough to suppress all the saints in the primordial world.

If my old friend really succeeds, it's hard to imagine just how powerful he will become!

After chatting with Chen Ye for a while, Zhen Yuanzi left to go into seclusion.

He knew very well that if he didn't work hard at cultivation, given his old friend's cultivation speed, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to follow in his footsteps.

Time flies!

Ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment in the vast expanse of time and space in the primordial world.

Over these 100,000 years, the primordial world has recovered from the devastation caused by the great calamity of the Lich King, with the collapse of heaven and earth. All living things have regained their vitality, and the primordial world is once again teeming with life.

During these 100,000 years, Haotian, the Heavenly Emperor appointed by the Dao Ancestor, and Yaochi also controlled the Heavenly Court.

After taking control of the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi issued a recruitment order, hoping that those who had attained enlightenment and cultivated immortality in the prehistoric world would come to serve in the Heavenly Court.

However, there were very few responders in the prehistoric world.

However, Haotian and Yaochi soon changed this situation.

The Peach Banquet!

Haotian and Yaochi used the Primordial Peach Tree bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun as a bargaining chip to attract powerful beings from the prehistoric world who had reached the Golden Immortal realm or above to the Heavenly Court.

This news stirred up countless powerful rogue cultivators throughout the primordial world.

This Primordial Peach Tree is rumored to be an innate spiritual root that is in no way inferior to the Ten Top-Tier Peach Ancestral Trees.

If they could eat the fruit of the Primordial Immortal Peach Tree, it would greatly assist their cultivation.

"Haotian, although this Primordial Immortal Peach Tree can attract many rogue cultivators, the truly enlightened people in the world are completely uninterested in the peaches."

"If the Heavenly Court only has a few Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, it is far too meager. You must know that the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial World are the true pillars of strength!"

In the Heavenly Court, Yaochi looked at Haotian with her beautiful eyes, her expression helpless.

Upon hearing this, Haotian's expression turned grim. After a long silence, he said with utter helplessness, "Although the Dao Ancestor appointed you and me as Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, our strength is only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint."

"The innate gods and demons, and quasi-saints of the primordial world, look down on us."

"However, I have already contacted several powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortals. They have the desire to join the Heavenly Court. Everything can only wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Yaochi nodded slightly. That was the reality. Even if they were the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress appointed by the Dao Ancestor, there was nothing they could do if no one respected them.

Only by quickly improving its own strength can the Heavenly Court's deterrent power be strengthened.

"By the way, the Three Pure Ones responded to the Dao Ancestor's words, and quite a few disciples have entered the Heavenly Court."

"However, these guys are all extremely arrogant and completely unruly. They are also disciples of a saint, so we have no way to control them."

Immediately, Yaochi posed another difficult question.

The Three Pure Ones are the orthodox lineage of Xuanmen, the formal disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and are also saints-level beings.

Therefore, their disciples are naturally extremely arrogant and completely ignore Haotian and Yaochi's management.

saint!

Upon hearing this, Haotian's eyes revealed boundless apprehension.

As the attendant of the Dao Ancestor, he naturally knew very well just how powerful a Saint-level expert was.

"Saints may be powerful, but they are not invincible!"

After a moment of deep thought, Haotian's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"You mean Wanshou Mountain?" Upon hearing this, Yaochi spoke directly, then shook her head: "The Sage Zhen Yuanzi of Wanshou Mountain once sought the Heavenly Emperor for Dao Ancestor Hongyun and his disciple Zhao Gongming, but to no avail. They probably won't help us."

"Saint Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Hongyun are both saints who have attained sainthood, and they have always preferred to stay in Wanshou Mountain to cultivate. They are not people we can persuade to come."

"However, Zhao Gongming, the disciple of Ancestor Hongyun, is quite active in the prehistoric world. Perhaps we can win him over."

Haotian also spoke directly: "Zhao Gongming's aptitude is that of a top-tier innate god-demon, which is better than both of ours. He also has the support of Ancestor Hongyun and two saint-level beings, Zhen Yuanzi, behind him."

"If we can win them over to our Heavenly Court, it will greatly enhance our Heavenly Court's position."

"That's true, but Zhao Gongming is not easy to win over. He has two sages behind him. What in the primordial world can't he get?"

Yaochi also lacked confidence in this regard.

"Where there's a will, there's a way. I've heard that Zhao Gongming is quite interested in the human race in the prehistoric world. Perhaps we can start with the human race..."

Haotian's eyes, however, gleamed with a sharp light, his gaze flashing with a myriad of thoughts.

While the Jade Pool of the Primordial World was troubled by the affairs of the Heavenly Court, Chen Ye was still in seclusion at the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

For 100,000 years, he did not leave Wuzhuang Temple even once.

With his strength accumulated over 100,000 years, he has been continuously upgrading his Time-Space Mirror.

As a supreme innate treasure, the Time-Space Mirror would obviously require a very long time to fully integrate with the primordial spiritual energy of chaos.

However, as 100,000 years passed, and Chen Ye fused the two divine artifacts after 100,000 years.

"boom!"

A terrifying roar suddenly resounded in Wuzhuang Temple.

The master of Wuzhuang Temple unleashed a chaotic divine light, radiating seven colors, which shone brightly directly within the temple, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
