Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 88 The Heavenly Court Can't Do Without You (2)

"If the bloodline of gods and men is something to be proud of, then why have the ancient gods and immortals never given my Heavenly Court a second glance?"

"You incompetent fool! Countless elixirs have fed you, allowing you to live for countless years, yet you remain the same. Only your bloodline is worth mentioning!"

Haotian was still furious and was about to slap him again.

But the Queen Mother stopped her, saying, "When a child makes a mistake, reasoning with her is enough. Yao Ji is already so old, she'll surely understand. There's no need to be so harsh on a little girl. Venus, don't you agree?"

The Queen Mother wanted Li Changgeng to stand with her and persuade Haotian.

Li Changgeng looked at the scene of domestic violence before him.

I just want to leave.

He shouldn't be here; there are official matters at Qiming Hall that await his attention.

Speaking of which, he hadn't even had a chance to taste the Chaos Snow Tea that the Queen Mother had sent a few days ago. It was a fine product grown in front of the Zixiao Palace.

Why let this tragedy in the Heavenly Court torment your Dao heart?

The older brother hit his younger sister.

This is a private matter concerning the Heavenly Emperor's family.

As an outsider, he felt extremely uncomfortable here.

He decided to play the peacemaker and hurriedly spoke up: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Yao Ji has always grown up under Your Majesty's protection, so she naturally has the mind of a child. What she did earlier was probably unintentional."

Unintentional! Nobody would believe that.

Li Changgeng cursed inwardly.

As a being born at the beginning of time, how could Yao Ji know what it means to love all things?

Having achieved immortality, she took the life and death of mortals in stride.

But she has the right to be willful, after all, her brother is the current Heavenly Emperor appointed by the Dao Ancestor!

He only dared to mutter these words to himself; he didn't have the courage to say them aloud.

Although other powerful beings did not take the Heavenly Court seriously, for the immortal sects of the Eastern Divine Continent, the Heavenly Court was the best place to go in the world.

He, Li Changgeng, was merely a mortal who had luckily attained enlightenment ten thousand years ago.

He took up a celestial post in the Heavenly Court and worked for the Jade Emperor to earn a living.

As a subordinate, you should act like one.

Naturally, we should stand on Haotian's side.

If he displeases Haotian, not only will Li Changgeng suffer, but his sect and tens of thousands of disciples will also face annihilation.

"Go ahead and hit me, just kill me! You might as well kill your own sister too!"

Yao Ji raised her head unwillingly, showing no sign of giving up easily.

She couldn't remember the last time her brother had beaten her like this.

"Princess, please don't get angry. If you anger the Heavenly Emperor, things will get very complicated."

Li Changgeng tried to comfort him from all sides, but he was exhausted.

"You fool, if we don't teach you a lesson, one day you might offend some powerful deity, and even if your brother intervenes, they won't let you off the hook!"

Haotian snorted coldly.

The Queen Mother offered him tea, but he refused it with his hand.

"The two children you've always wanted to kill, one is now a disciple of Yu Ding Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and the other has joined the Jie Sect and become the fourth disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother."

"If they find out about your thoughts, who will be the one whose soul is extracted and refined? And what about your abandonment of your husband and children? If those two achieve great things in their cultivation, do you think you can live peacefully?"

Haotian's face was gloomy, and his voice was solemn.

Upon hearing these words, Taibai Xingjun Li Changgeng seemed to be deep in thought. He recalled seeing the young man named Yang Jian beside Wen Zhong in Chaoge.

Wen Zhong addressed him as his junior brother, so he must be the newly accepted disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother.

Back when he was leading two little children across the sea from Dongsheng Shenzhou to Nanzhanbuzhou, Yang Jian was still a baby, and the little girl was still an infant.

Those two little children are so fortunate; it seems he doesn't need to worry anymore.

But times have changed, and he failed to recognize Yang Jian in Chaoge.

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Yaoji panicked. Both Jiejiao and Chanjiao were great sects founded by saints, and Jinling Shengmu and Yuding Zhenren had been renowned since ancient times. Moreover, both of them were extremely protective of their own. If the matter were exposed, she would certainly not escape punishment.

Ignoring her disheveled hair and the tears welling up in her eyes, she rushed to Haotian, knelt down, and hugged his legs.

Her voice was filled with fear: "Brother, what should we do? If those two bastards find out the truth, they will definitely come after me. How lucky they are to be appreciated by a disciple personally taught by a sage."

A hint of disgust flashed in Haotian's eyes, but he forced himself to suppress his annoyance and asked, "What are you thinking now? Tell me."

Yao Ji lowered her head in thought, and when she looked up again, she glared fiercely at Taibai Xingjun beside her: "It's all Taibai's fault for acting on his own. Why don't we let him atone for his sins by killing those two children, and then apologize to the two religions with his death?"

Upon hearing these words, Haotian felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his ear, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

He had already cultivated to the Primordial Dao Fruit, severing all three corpses, so the heavenly lightning of this world would not give him such a feeling.

Yao Ji's thoughts and ideas were too outrageous.

His anger turned into thunder, ultimately stunning him.

He clenched his fists, wanting nothing more than to smash this eyesore to death with one blow.

His continued presence in this world would only tarnish his reputation.

He reached out to strike, but Yao Ji quickly dodged behind the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother, her face grim, blocked Haotian while trying to comfort Li Changgeng: "Star Lord, don't worry. Yaoji misspoke. The Heavenly Emperor would never do such a thing."

Li Changgeng nodded: "The Heavenly Emperor treats his subjects like his own sons. Even if my soul is scattered, I will still share the Heavenly Emperor's burdens."

Haotian: "Chang Geng, you flatter me! My sister has not only failed to improve her cultivation over the years, but also her temperament. It's truly a headache. I wonder what Chang Geng's opinion is on those two children?"

Li Changgeng stroked his beard. Ever since the Heavenly Emperor revealed the connection between the two children and the two great sage sects, he had known the Heavenly Emperor's plans.

These two individuals will undoubtedly become the entry point for the Heavenly Court to unite with the two religions.

As long as the two religions can be united, and given that the Human Religion of the Supreme Sage is already on the side of the Heavenly Court.

With the assistance of the three most powerful sage sects in the primordial world, how could the Heavenly Court not prosper?

He asked cautiously, "Do Jade Cauldron Immortal and Golden Spirit Holy Mother know about the relationship between those two children and the Heavenly Emperor?"

Haotian shook his head: "This secret was deduced by the Supreme Moral Heavenly Venerable and the Sage of Taiqing using the Taiji Diagram. No one outside this place knows it."

"Then this old minister will summon the two children to the Heavenly Court to acknowledge the Heavenly Emperor as their maternal uncle. With this connection, the Heavenly Court can gain leverage with the Jie and Chan sects. If it can obtain the assistance of these two sects, the four continents of the Primordial World will be within the Heavenly Court's grasp, and those unruly mountain and river gods will be reduced to ashes!"

Li Changgeng spoke as if victory was assured, as if he could already foresee the scene of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage.

The mountains, rivers, and wild gods he spoke of were the ancient immortals and gods.

When the Heavenly Court was weak, they were immortals and gods, and it was one thing for them not to obey orders.

If the Heavenly Court gains power, it will be time to settle scores later.

What ancient immortals and gods? They are nothing but wild gods who rely on their high cultivation to seize power over heaven and earth!

With the support of the three religions, the Western religion will naturally and obediently join the Heavenly Court.

At that time, the ancient immortal and divine forces represented by Xi Wangmu, the Queen Mother of the West, Houtu, the Earth Mother Goddess, and Xuanming, the ruler of the underworld, will all be swept away by the current Heavenly Court.

This is a feat that even the former demon imperial court could not accomplish.

Thinking of this, Li Changgeng felt his blood, which had been cooled for nearly ten thousand years, gradually heat up, and his whole body was boiling with excitement.

At that time, given his status as a senior minister of the Heavenly Court, he would be second only to the Heavenly Emperor and above all immortals.

The sect behind him should also feel honored.

His efforts for the Heavenly Court over the past ten thousand years have not been in vain.

Suffering is near, but sweetness is on its way.

The reason for all of this.

It was merely a trace of humanity that had not been extinguished even after ten thousand years of immortality, a feeling of compassion that led him to casually save the two children.

"My dear minister, you are indeed a blessing to our Heavenly Court. Without Chang Geng, the Heavenly Court is like the primordial world without the sun and moon, and all living beings cannot see the light."

Haotian nodded in satisfaction and was about to agree.

"inappropriate!"

The Queen Mother's voice suddenly rang out.

Li Changgeng was startled, realizing that his fantasy had turned to ashes.

"What are the Queen Mother's insights?"

Haotian asked in confusion.
