Hong Jun’s figure faded and disappeared, a voice echoed in the hall: "You may all leave~"
"Seeing off Master (old master)," everyone bowed deeply in salute.
After standing up, Haotian and Yaoshi faced all the saints.
Haotian made a bow and respectfully said, "I have seen all elder brothers and sisters."
Yaoshi also bowed beside him.
Several saints all smiled slightly, nodding as a greeting.
Taishang said soothingly, "There’s no need for excessive formalities, please stand up."
"Thank you, elder brother." Haotian and Yaoshi stood up.
Zhunti laughed heartily and said, "Congratulations to the junior brother and sister on ascending to the position of Heavenly Emperor, from now on boundless honors will be upon you."
Haotian quickly said, "Thanks to Master’s guidance, Yaoshi and I have always followed by the old master’s side, unaware of the outside world and without any support.
Suddenly becoming the Heavenly Emperor, my heart is full of fear and unease, fearing losing the old master’s trust, so I ask for more care from elder brothers and sisters."
Zhunti laughed heartily and said, "That’s easy to say, if there’s anything you can come to the West to find me, elder brother will surely help with all his might."
Tongtian nodded and said, "You can also come find me at Golden Turtle Island."
"Thank you, elder brother!" Haotian said a bit shyly, "I really do have a matter now that I would like to trouble the elder brothers and sisters with.
The Heavenly Court is in need of revitalization, without any support, could the elder brothers lend me some disciples?"
Tongtian’s face stiffened, someone else wanting to covet my lovely disciples?!
Zhunti’s smile also disappeared, as I myself find my disciples too few!
Tongtian’s expression suddenly changed and he shouted angrily, "Bai Jin, stop causing trouble, watch how I deal with you." With rage, he quickly walked out of the Zixiao Palace, and with a flash, disappeared.
Primordial hurriedly called out, "Tongtian, calm down, Bai Jin is also doing this for your good." He then quickly walked outside, disappearing with a flash.
Taishang sighed and said, "Ah~ Hard to manage once they become capable. I better go back to alchemy!" Leisurely walking outside, I have no disciples, what do I fear?
Haotian could only look at Jieyin and Zhunti with hope.
Jieyin’s expression immediately fell, and dryly said, "Our Western Sect is poor and dull, we too have few disciples."
Zhunti quickly called out, "Elder brother, you dropped something here with me." He immediately walked quickly outside, following Taishang.
Jieyin hurriedly followed, quickly leaving.
In a moment, the entire Zixiao Palace was left with only Haotian and Yaoshi.
Haotian helplessly said, "We still have to rely on ourselves."
Yaoshi gently said, "Let’s go! There will be a way, I believe in you."
Haotian laughed heartily and said, "Good, let’s strive together."
The two walked out spiritedly.
Three streaks of light passed through the endless Chaos, moving through the Primordial Star Domain, and landed inside the Heavenly Court, turning into three figures, one male and two females.
They looked around the Heavenly Court, which was full of scars, with not a single person in sight.
After the Witch Demon severely damaged each other, the demons left guarding the Demon Court fell into immediate chaos, pillaging various treasures in the Demon Court, even prying up the floors three feet high before scattering and fleeing, leaving the Heavenly Court devastated, resembling ruins.
One of the women pouted and said, "Big brother, is this the Heavenly Court you told me about? Did you say you are the master of the Heavenly Court?"
Haotian chuckled and said, "Yaoji, it will get better soon. Don’t you think it’s interesting to build the Heavenly Court from nothing?"
Yaoshi took Yaoji by the hand and gently said, "Yaoji, you will be the Princess of the Heavenly Court from now on. Didn’t you say it was too boring in the Chaos? Now you can go anywhere you want to have fun."
Yaoji’s eyes lit up, and she joyfully exclaimed, "That’s more like it." She hugged Yaoshi’s arm and giggled, "Sister-in-law is the best."
"Cough cough~" Haotian’s face turned red, and he coughed repeatedly.
Yaoshi’s eyebrows raised slightly, and she said disapprovingly, "Is there something inappropriate?"
Haotian waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No! No!"
"Go quickly and prepare a room for Yaoji to stay in."
"Right away! I’m going right now," Haotian hurriedly walked to the side.
Having just taken a few steps, a seven-colored rosy light descended, boom~ shaking the Heavenly Court.
The faces of the three changed drastically, and in one step they crossed space instantly arriving at the place where the rosy light had fallen; in front of them shone a radiant seven-colored jade wall.
Holding Yaoshi’s arm, Yaoji curiously asked, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"
Yaoshi whispered, "It’s the Heavenly Rules bestowed by Heavenly Dao. From now on, the affairs of the Heavenly Court will be conducted in accordance with these Heavenly Rules."
Yaoji looked at the jade wall and muttered to herself, "Heavenly Rules!"
Haotian bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Thank you, my Lord, for bestowing these Heavenly Rules. I, your disciple, shall follow them precisely, daring not to defy."
Around the seven-colored jade wall, an ethereal palace materialized; as the palace solidified, the closed door above it bore five large characters, ’Judicial Heavenly God Temple.’
On the other side, at Duobao Island in the East Sea, boom~ a powerful aura rose up, stirring the flowing clouds in the sky. A towering pagoda with thirty-three levels stood between Heaven and Earth, with four wind chimes hanging at each corner of every level, tinkling in the air. The spiritual energy of the Five Elements converged to form five great rivers revolving around the pagoda.
All Jie Sect Disciples stepped out, looking up at the pagoda in the sky, their faces filled with joy, "The eldest disciple has achieved Daluo."
All the spiritual energy of the Five Elements entered the pagoda, and with a flash of light, the pagoda disappeared. Lord Duobao stood mid-air, bowing in the direction of Golden Turtle Island, then descended towards the Tao Palace below.
Long-eared Ding Guangxian flew quickly from afar, entered the main hall of Duobao Tower, and bowed happily shouting, "Congratulations, elder brother, on achieving Daluo."
Lord Duobao sat in the main seat, majestic and authoritative, his voice booming, "Is there any significant event that has occurred within our Sect recently?"
Long-eared Ding Guangxian stood up, sighed slightly, and said, "Elder brother, during your retreat, brother Bai Jin established a Law Enforcement Team, forcefully suppressing us outer disciples. Many brothers were captured and subjected to brutal torture."
Lord Duobao spoke calmly, "The Law Enforcement Team was approved by Master. Are they really acting forcefully and mistreating fellow disciples?"
Long-eared Ding Guangxian hesitated, then diplomatically said, "Perhaps some fellow junior brothers did indeed go a bit too far."
"There’s no need to inquire further."
"Yes!" Long-eared Ding Guangxian responded, then hesitantly added, "Elder brother, during these days of your retreat, Qiu Shouxian and Ling Ya Immortal often went to listen to the teachings of Gui Ling senior sister."
The expression on Lord Duobao’s face changed slightly, he murmured, "Gui Ling," picturing the girl in yellow clothes—ever since their first meeting when he subdued her, she had been relentless and quite annoying, and now she seemed to be pulling Qiu Shouxian and Ling Ya Immortal towards her.
The atmosphere in the East Sea suddenly shifted, filled with sacred majesty.
Lord Duobao immediately stood up and said, "Master has returned, I’ll go greet Master. Wait here."
"Yes!" Long-eared Ding Guangxian respectfully responded.
On Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin also floated towards Golden Turtle Island—Master had returned, so he went to pay his respects first.
Bai Jin traveled to the front of Biyou Palace and coincidentally saw Lord Duobao, Wudang Saint, and others heading towards the main hall. He quickly hurried to follow.
