Yuanshi Haotian Enters Zixiao Palace

Chapter 139 Yuanshi Haotian Enters Zixiao Palace

Yuanshi looked at his disciples.

The anger in my heart had nowhere to go.

He is a saint, and countless beings in the primordial world are watching this place.

He couldn't rebuke his traitorous disciple, otherwise he would ruin his own reputation.

He couldn't do anything to the human race either; he believed that if he dared to make a move, Nuwa would dare to throw a red embroidered ball at him.

He knew that his sect had fallen into a new round of scheming.

The most important thing now is to protect the disciples and then go to Zixiao Palace to find out what's going on.

Let's stop here.

Yuanshi used his great magical power to gather Guangchengzi and the other twelve disciples behind him.

Then he took a deep look at Xuanyuan.

He disappeared with his disciples.

The battle for supremacy came to an end, leaving behind a field of corpses and only a few remaining celestial soldiers and generals.

The heavenly soldiers and generals were completely stunned when they saw the sage take Guang Chengzi and the others away.

What about me? Aren't we human?

What kind of bullshit disciple of a saint? What kind of bullshit Heavenly Court?

What kind of jobs are these?

It's unclear who started it, but people started taking off their silver armor and throwing it on the ground. As a result, the surviving heavenly soldiers all dropped their silver armor and ran away.

I'll never go to the Heavenly Court again; it's just too dangerous.

Humans should stay away; I am but a lowly celestial soldier.

And Xuanyuan completed the final piece of the puzzle, achieving perfect merit.

On the way back to Kunlun, Yuanshi remained silent.

Of the three emperors—Heaven, Earth, and Man—the first two were successfully completed.

How come when it came to Guang Chengzi, instead of gaining any benefit, he dragged the entire Chan Sect into it?

"Master, the human race is going too far!"

Guang Chengzi was unaware of his mistake and complained to Yuanshi.

"One of the human race and the Jiuli race is destined to perish. My request for the heavenly army to join the war was merely acting on behalf of Heaven, but Xuanyuan not only showed no gratitude, but instead repaid kindness with enmity!"

Yuanshi thought Guangchengzi's words made sense.

But the fact is that the Chan Sect was attacked by the calamity.

"There's no need to bring this up again."

Yuan Shi had a headache; the deed was done.

The urgent matter now is how to preserve the teachings of Chan Buddhism.

Guang Chengzi was delighted to see that Yuanshi did not blame him.

He tentatively opened his mouth.

"Master, the 80,000 heavenly soldiers and generals that I borrowed—"

Yuanshi waved his hand dismissively.

"Never mind."

"yes!"

With Yuanshi speaking, Guangchengzi's last worry disappeared.

Marshal Zhongtan?

Pshaw, I don't care.

In the Heavenly Court, Haotian, who was in seclusion to resolve the calamity, was somewhat indignant.

He helped send troops, so how could he cause such a calamity?

Dispelling the calamity was an enormous undertaking for the Heavenly Emperor.

After all, this is the most terrifying thing in the primordial world—the ability to dispel calamity energy—and Haotian is only a quasi-saint.

The more Haotian tried to resolve the calamity, the more unfair it felt.

He didn't cause the trouble, yet he's expected to resolve the calamity?

When will it be possible to resolve all this calamity?

The Heavenly Court is developing, and Haotian wants to become the overlord. How can he be delayed by such things?

So Haotian came out of seclusion. He wanted to see how things were going, and if all else failed, he would seek help from Zixiao Palace.

When Haotian learned that none of the 80,000 heavenly soldiers and generals had returned, he almost choked.

So they waited in the Lingxiao Palace for Guangchengzi to come and give them an explanation.

But after waiting and waiting, Guang Chengzi still hadn't appeared. So, through the Haotian Mirror, they saw that Guang Chengzi had already returned to Kunlun Mountain.

He even planned to go into seclusion, showing no intention whatsoever of coming to the Heavenly Court.

"You beast, you beast!"

Haotian was furious. "Eighty thousand heavenly soldiers, I'll at least hear a sound!"

The 80,000 heavenly soldiers I painstakingly collected were given away by you, and you didn't even offer a word of comfort?

And you've brought me so much bad luck.

At this moment, Haotian's resentment soared to the heavens.

"I'm going to Zixiao Palace!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Haotian decided to go to Zixiao Palace to complain.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Yuanshi preceded Haotian.

"teacher."

Yuanshi dared not harbor resentment towards Hongjun, but he needed to know why.

Hongjun knew his purpose, but didn't even raise his head.

"This calamity can be averted."

"Oh?"

Yuanshi's eyes immediately lit up. As long as the Chan Sect could overcome this crisis, anything was negotiable.

"It is an inevitable trend for the disciples of the Chan Sect to enter the tribulation. The only way is to take on a disciple to go through the tribulation in place of the master."

Yuan Shi understood, but was somewhat dissatisfied.

Ultimately, it's still the Chan Sect that has to go through this tribulation.

However, this is the only option available.

At least the current twelve disciples can be preserved, which can be considered as preserving the foundation of the Chan Sect.

But I still feel uneasy.

A flash of inspiration struck.

"Master, is it only our disciples of the Chan Sect who are facing this calamity?"

Hongjun laughed; this was exactly the kind of way Yuanshi was behaving.

"In the midst of a great calamity, how can anyone remain unscathed?"

Yuanshi was excited. If that's the case, he could drag others down with him.

He might even be able to turn a bad thing into a good thing by spreading his teachings.

Hongjun smiled too; the plan had been arranged.

The largest sect today is the Jie Sect. If Yuanshi wants to recruit others, he will definitely try to drag the Jie Sect down with him.

It all depends on whether Yuanshi can prove himself or not. If he can hold off Tongtian, then Yuanshi's position as a saint can be temporarily preserved.

If it can't be delayed any longer, then proceed with the plan and have Yuanshi vacate his holy position.

Yes, this is also the last chance that Hongjun is giving Yuanshi.

"This disciple thanks the teacher for his guidance."

Yuanshi couldn't wait to go back and prepare for this matter.

Just then, Haotian entered Zixiao Palace crying.

Yuanshi frowned, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"As the Heavenly Emperor, how can you behave with such crying and fussing? I think you should give up being the Heavenly Emperor. Guang Chengzi of my Chan Sect is more suitable for this position."

Haotian was stunned by Yuanshi's shamelessness.

After a moment of hesitation, he realized what was happening, ignored Yuanshi, knelt down and began to complain to Hongjun.

"Your Majesty, the disciple Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect misled me with slanderous words, causing the loss of 80,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and even dragging the Heavenly Court into a great calamity."

"The Heavenly Court is currently lacking in capable officials, which has greatly impacted its prestige. We beg Your Excellency to make a decision."

Hongjun remained silent, sizing up Haotian.

So now you know to ask for help?

Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd become the Heavenly Emperor and wouldn't even acknowledge your master anymore.

"Don't be anxious, the matter of the Heavenly Court will be explained in due time."

Hongjun no longer intends to let Yuanshi fill in the Investiture of the Gods himself.

The Xuanmen sect now only has one sage sect, the Chan Sect, and has few disciples. This incident suggests that the Chan Sect disciples are not of high quality.

So let's just open the Investiture of the Gods and let them all die.

If Yuanshi Tianzun had planned well, he might have even managed to outmaneuver the disciples of the Jie Sect.

That day, the Heavenly Court made a huge profit.

Once someone is listed on the Investiture of the Gods, even Qing Yi cannot change the outcome.

Although the strength of the disciples of the Chan Sect could not compare with that of the eight disciples of the Jie Sect.

But in the face of great calamity, everyone is equal, and anything can happen.

Haotian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hongjun.

"Go ahead and do your job well."

Haotian and Yuanshi were directly teleported out of Zixiao Palace.

Although Hongjun said that the affairs of the Heavenly Court would be settled, Haotian's ambition was to become the overlord.

This time, having caught Yuanshi, they won't let him go easily.

"Senior brother, my 80,000 heavenly soldiers and generals went down to the mortal realm with Guang Chengzi."

Haotian demands an explanation.

Yuanshi ignored him and left in a huff.
