"Haha, Senior Brother, Haotian has really gone to complain!" Zhunti was overjoyed.
They had been paying close attention to Haotian's movements, just waiting for him to go. This was exactly as Jieyin had analyzed!
Jieyin also nodded and smiled, "Indeed, now the Three Pure Ones are in trouble!"
"This time, we must sow discord among the Three Pure Ones!" Zhunti also burst into laughter!
Haotian, who was now crying in Zixiao Palace, looked around. Why hadn't the Dao Ancestor appeared yet? He felt a little uneasy, but he was truly wronged. Being the Heavenly Emperor was too stifling!
"Your wish is known to me!" Hongjun said faintly!
His sudden appearance startled Haotian. Seeing Hongjun, Haotian immediately knelt down and said, "Many thanks, Master!"
"You may return. I will use this Investiture of the Gods to appoint 365 righteous gods for the Heavenly Court, for you to command and develop the Heavenly Court," Hongjun said!
Haotian was overjoyed and returned to the Heavenly Court with great delight!
"Haotian, how was it?" Yaochi immediately asked!
Haotian sneered, "We pleaded with the Three Pure Ones with good words, but they refused. This time, the Dao Ancestor will arrange it by force. Let's see how the Three Pure Ones can refuse!"
Yaochi also nodded, it seemed Haotian had succeeded this time!
"All Sages come to Zixiao Palace!" At this moment, Hongjun spoke. All Sages heard his words and rushed towards Zixiao Palace outside the Chaos!
Even Minghe was no exception, as Hongjun had summoned him, and Minghe could leave the Asura Dao!
Soon, the Three Pure Ones, Li Er, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Minghe, all arrived in Zixiao Palace!
Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones, Minghe let out a cold snort, and without a greeting, found a place to sit by himself! Now, he wanted to watch the Three Pure Ones make fools of themselves. This opportunity had finally come!
The Three Pure Ones did not pay attention to Minghe, after all, this guy had a short memory.
Soon, the Dao Ancestor reappeared and said, "The development of the Heavenly Court is essential for managing the operation of the Three Realms. Now that Haotian is complaining of having no subordinates, all you Sages should provide more assistance!"
"Teacher, this matter has nothing to do with my Demon Clan!" Nuwa said directly, and indeed it had nothing to do with their Demon Clan!
"Dao Ancestor, it also has nothing to do with my Asura Dao!" Minghe also said, looking like he was waiting for a good show!
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and smiled, "My Western Land is barren, and we have no talented people. It has nothing to do with us!"
Hearing this, the Three Pure Ones were not surprised, as Taiqing Laozi had already told them!
Seeing the calm reaction of the Three Pure Ones, the Western pair and Minghe looked at each other. This reaction was a bit unusual!
Hongjun said nothing, but looked at the Three Pure Ones. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "This is the Investiture of the Gods. The Heavenly Court needs 365 righteous gods. You can choose those with poor roots and whose immortal paths are difficult to achieve to be on the list, thus securing them a good position!"
Afterward, Hongjun disappeared!
Minghe was overjoyed. The Dao Ancestor's meaning was clear: you Three Pure Ones find a way to handle this matter. He then laughed heartily and left Zixiao Palace, returning to the Asura Dao!
Nuwa, too lazy to linger, left immediately!
The Western Jieyin and Zhunti gave the Three Pure Ones a mocking glance and then left!
"You yourselves figure it out!" Li Er also left!
"Are there enough people?" Taiqing Laozi asked!
Yuanshi looked at Tongtian and said, "Third Brother, over the years I have accepted some registered disciples and many second-generation disciples. They can all be on the list! But the main part will likely be on your side!"
Tongtian nodded and said, "Big Brother told me about this back then, and I was already prepared!"
Taiqing Laozi then said, "Third Brother, include Chang Er Dingguang Xian, one of your seven attendant immortals, on the list as well!"
Tongtian was taken aback, not quite understanding Taiqing Laozi's intention!
He quite liked Chang Er Dingguang Xian, and he had already achieved immortality. Why should he be put on the list?
"I observe that he has rebellious bones. Even though his immortal path is achieved, he has no connection with my Jie Sect!" Taiqing Laozi said directly!
Tongtian fell silent. Of his seven attendant immortals, Chang Er Dingguang Xian was his favorite. He never expected his elder brother to have such an evaluation of him!
"Big Brother, Chang Er has served me for many years. Since he has no connection with my Jie Sect, I will let him leave. There's no need to put him on the Investiture of the Gods, right?" Tongtian still said, as he was sentimental!
Taiqing Laozi nodded. After all, it was something that hadn't happened yet. This time, with the Three Pure Ones in a strong position, Chang Er Dingguang Xian might not betray them! However, Taiqing Laozi felt it was better to keep the Jie Sect pure!
"Third Brother, you can also take this opportunity to reorganize the Jie Sect. You have only broken through to the middle stage of Sage over the years, but you cannot reach the late stage. This is because the destiny of your Jie Sect is mixed. Although the Chaos Bell suppresses it, it cannot last forever!" Taiqing Laozi said!
Tongtian nodded heavily. This day had finally come!
"Third Brother, this may not be a bad thing. After all, their immortal paths are difficult to achieve. As the Dao Ancestor said, the path of gods also provides them with a way out!" Yuanshi said, patting Tongtian's shoulder!
"I know, Second Brother!" Tongtian replied!
Here, it must be mentioned that Taiqing Laozi's foresight was remarkable. If he hadn't spoken in advance and made arrangements, the Three Pure Ones would have fallen out here. Now, everything was very harmonious!
Yuanshi did not complain that Tongtian's disciples were all beasts with fur and horns, and Tongtian naturally did not feel uncomfortable!
Afterward, Tongtian took the Investiture of the Gods. After all, he had too many registered disciples, and many of them had difficulty achieving immortality. He still needed to discuss it with his disciples!
As the Three Pure Ones left, Hongjun reappeared in Zixiao Palace. He glanced at the departing Three Pure Ones and frowned, because the great trend had changed, which was very disheartening!
In the past plans of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Court was supposed to flourish, thus achieving the true unification of the Three Realms and making the Great Desolation more stable!
But the Sages were too powerful, and the Sages' disciples would not obey the dispatch of the Heavenly Court. Then the Heavenly Court would only have a name but no real power, and would not be considered prosperous. This had already violated the great trend of the Heavenly Dao!
Hongjun sat in Zixiao Palace in silence, and began to calculate. In the end, everything was vague, and even he could not calculate it!
In the West, Zhunti smiled and said, "Senior Brother, this time the Three Pure Ones have signed the Investiture of the Gods. Will Yuanshi and Tongtian fight over their disciples?"
Jieyin smiled and said, "Let's see. At that time, it's hard to say if we will have to make a trip to the East!"
Zhunti smiled and nodded, yes, they would indeed have to make a trip.
Upon returning to Shouyang Mountain, Taiqing Laozi asked, "Xuandu, how is everything going?"
Xuandu saw Taiqing Laozi return and quickly said, "Greetings, Master. As you instructed, I have taught Emperor Xin what you taught me!"
Taiqing Laozi nodded and let Xuandu go!
It was currently the Shang Dynasty. Emperor Xin (Ziyou) succeeded to the throne. Because Emperor Xin was influenced by Grand Master Xuandu since childhood, he was highly valued by the late emperor. Now that Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne, he promulgated many decrees, reduced taxes, lessened the encirclement and suppression of the Eastern Yi tribes, and focused on developing internal affairs. For a time, the title of wise ruler spread in Chaoge!
This was precisely Taiqing Laozi's arrangement. Also, because of Taiqing Laozi's arrangement, the destiny of the Shang Dynasty increased, and Emperor Xin's destiny became even more magnificent after his succession!
Taiqing Laozi wanted the human king to never perish. In the three realms of heaven, earth, and man, the human king of the human race must not become the Son of Heaven, otherwise, the destiny of the human race would be damaged, and his years of planning would be in vain! Taiqing Laozi intended to finally receive the destiny and break through to the Sage realm!
