Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 81, Section 80: Haotian Ascends to the Heavenly Emperor, Strange Phenomena Occur in the Celestial Realm

Upon arriving in the Heavenly Realm, Ji Yuan indeed sensed the presence of Haotian and Yaochi in the direction of the Heavenly Court.

He used his supernatural powers and quickly arrived at the former Heavenly Court. At this time, Haotian was mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao to repair the ruins of the Heavenly Court, and it had already been almost half repaired.

Although it is still quite dilapidated, after all, the Heavenly Court used many innate spiritual objects in the past, and now what has been broken and restored is only acquired.

"Fellow Daoist Haotian, Fellow Daoist Yaochi, how have you been? I've missed you dearly since we last met."

Ji Yuan greeted him in a formulaic way.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's voice, Hao Tian and Yao Chi turned around simultaneously, a hint of surprise in their eyes. They hadn't sensed Ji Yuan's arrival at all, which further elevated Ji Yuan's status in their hearts.

Haotian and Yaochi bowed to Ji Yuan:
"I have met Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan. It has been more than ten years since we last met, and I have missed you."

Haotian was puzzled. It had only been more than ten years since they last met. Ji Yuan said that it had been many years since they last met. However, Ji Yuan's status was still above his in some respects, so he responded politely.

"ten years?"

Ji Yuan asked in confusion.

"I have been in seclusion for a full eon of cultivation."

"what?"

Haotian was also extremely puzzled.

"Is the time difference really that large?"

Ji Yuan told Haotian about the difference in time between the two realms. He had always thought that the Heavenly Realm at this time was the same as the later world, with one day in Heaven being one year on Earth. However, he did not expect that in reality, one year in Heaven was 100,000 years on Earth, and the difference in time between the two realms was extremely exaggerated.

That day, after Ji Yuan finished collecting the calamity energy, he went to Dongsheng Shenzhou and later went directly to Nuwa Palace. He didn't notice that the time sequence between the two realms was so different.

"I see."

Haotian suddenly realized.

"If the time difference is too great, it will be inconvenient to explore the prehistoric world."

Ji Yuan gave Haotian a timely reminder.

Haotian was also quite troubled upon hearing this, and said:

“Fellow Daoist, if I were to formally assume the position of Heavenly Emperor using the Dao Ancestor’s decree, I could naturally mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao to adjust the order of time to the greatest extent.”

"But."

Haotian glanced at the dilapidated Heavenly Court.

"When the decree is read, all living beings in the primordial world will be able to see me, but this Heavenly Court is in ruins and I fear it will lose its majesty."

Ji Yuan understood. No wonder Haotian and Yaochi were repairing the ruins of the Heavenly Court here; they were afraid of losing their dignity.

So he waved his hand, and the innate treasure Qiankun Cauldron appeared in his hand.

"This treasure has the power to reverse one's innate nature, and I believe it can be of great help to you. I think you are already familiar with how to use it."

After saying that, he handed the Qiankun Cauldron to Haotian.

Haotian accepted the Qiankun Cauldron with gratitude in his eyes. Just as his teacher had said, Ji Yuan truly wanted to help him.

He then bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

Ji Yuan smiled and nodded.

Without hesitation, Haotian poured his magic power into the Qiankun Cauldron. The Qiankun Cauldron immediately radiated boundless divine light, expanding countless times to encompass the entire Heavenly Court, returning to its origin and reversing the power of its innate nature.

Ji Yuan nodded. As expected of the Dao Ancestor's attendant, his cultivation level was already no weaker than his.

The time spent repairing the Heavenly Court was not long, only eighty-one days. Although the spiritual objects used to build the Heavenly Court were of innate nature, they were not actually that precious; they were just beautiful and impressive.

The Heavenly Court was completely rebuilt, not only returning to its original state but also acquiring a touch of the aura of the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, further enhancing its imposing presence.

Haotian returned the Qiankun Cauldron to Ji Yuan and then took out the Hongjun Decree. As the decree was unfurled, its majestic and supreme aura spread throughout the primordial world, and countless powerful beings turned their gazes toward the Heavenly Realm.

The barrier of the celestial realm gradually blurred, and the timelines of the two realms briefly synchronized, revealing three human figures.

"What is Ji Yuan, the ancestor of humanity, doing in the Heavenly Realm? And who are the other man and woman?"

Countless powerful beings had this question in their hearts. Perhaps many of them had been to Zixiao Palace, but they still failed to recognize Haotian and Yaochi. The former child was now the Heavenly Emperor. The difference between the two was not small, not to mention the Heavenly Dao's cover-up.

Haotian shouted:
"By the decree of the Dao Ancestor, the Great Calamity has passed, the heavens and earth have collapsed, and order has ceased to exist. In order to maintain the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, Haotian is established as the Heavenly Emperor and Yaochi as the Heavenly Empress, to govern the Heavenly Rules and Precepts and to lead all living beings."

The sound spread to every corner of the primordial world, and the Heavenly Dao also descended with vast golden light, condensing a twelve-tassel crown above Haotian's head, and draping him in black and crimson robes, while condensing a nine-phoenix crown and a seven-colored cloud robe for Yaochi.

Its divine power was overwhelming, and its splendor was overflowing. Even Ji Yuan couldn't help but praise it, saying that the aesthetic sense of the Heavenly Dao was truly remarkable.

The strange phenomenon was not over yet. The power of the Heavenly Dao condensed and transformed into a divine dragon that coiled throughout the entire primordial world. The dragon held a scroll in its mouth and it fell into Haotian's hands.

It is the Investiture of the Gods!
However, this Investiture of the Gods is not the same as the Investiture of the Gods in the later Investiture of the Gods.

This list represents Heaven's recognition of Haotian's status, and is also a divine artifact by which Haotian conferred titles upon the gods, defined heavenly rules, and altered the landscape.

After the decree was read aloud, the barrier between heaven and earth solidified once more, but the primordial world was in an uproar.

"Haotian? Yaochi, who is that? He actually has the Dao Ancestor's decree!"

Many powerful figures had never heard of the name Haotian Yaochi, but some who had been to Zixiao Palace suddenly recognized it:
"I remember now, Haotian Yaochi was the gatekeeper of the Dao Ancestor's Zixiao Palace. I never expected that he would become the Heavenly Emperor. The former gatekeeper is now the Supreme Emperor of the High Heaven. It is quite strange."

Some people find it amazing, while others are furious and itching to get back at it.

The Kunpeng of the Northern Sea was like this, its eyes red, gritting its teeth as it said:

"I thought the six sages were discussing some important matter at Zixiao Palace, but it turns out they just invited a Heavenly Emperor for themselves, truly..."

Kunpeng wanted to curse, but he was afraid of being discovered by the sage, so he could only swallow his words. His face turned red. He originally wanted to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, but he hadn't even been to the Heavenly Realm yet, and the Heavenly Emperor had already been established.

"Ugh……"

He sighed softly. The Heavenly Emperor wasn't someone he couldn't challenge, but that Ji Yuan…

This is too strange. Kunpeng felt that he needed to find someone to test this matter. He glanced to the west, his mind racing.

Bai Ze, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. With someone now in the position of Heavenly Emperor, he could finally live in seclusion with the Tenth Prince and no longer covet that elusive position.

"Power, desire, alas... countless eons, all caused by the seven emotions and six desires."

With a sigh, Bai Ze took the Golden Crow Child and disappeared into a small world.

In the celestial realm, within the claw of the divine dragon formed from the power of the Heavenly Dao, there is something else, its entire body displaying seven colors and engraved with eighty-one strange runes.

The dragon delivered it to Ji Yuan and then vanished without a trace.

"God-Slaying Whip!"

Once the treasure was in hand, Ji Yuan immediately had a name in his mind, but this God-Slaying Whip was not the same God-Slaying Whip that Jiang Ziya wielded in later generations.

This whip has nine sections, each engraved with nine divine runes. It is a divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao, neither innate nor acquired, neither metal nor material. It has the power to ignore defenses and strike directly at the soul, and also has the ability to detect the flaws of all things.

This is the divine weapon that Director Ji Yuan possesses. Unlike the God-Slaying Whip of later generations, which can only strike those on the Investiture of the Gods list, this whip can strike anyone, including the Heavenly Emperor.

“Dao Ancestor Hongjun truly trusts me.”

Ji Yuan suddenly felt some pressure; the Dao Ancestor was giving him far too much credit.

"Ok?"

Holding the God-Slaying Whip, Ji Yuan used his power to detect the flaws in all things and immediately sensed a disgusting aura.

"Haotian, Yaochi, come with me, something has entered."

After saying that, Ji Yuan transformed into a golden light and sped away.
