Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

After Haotian finished speaking, Chijingzi, the second senior brother of the Twelve Golden Immortals, couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.

"Haotian, you are so presumptuous! You were once merely a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and now that you sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, you have no idea of ​​your own limitations!"

"You have deceived my Chan Sect! If you don't give my Chan Sect an explanation, I will destroy this Jade Pool!"

When Chi Jingzi looked at Haotian, the murderous intent on his face seemed to no longer be concealed.

Taiyi Zhenren, Daoxing Tianzun, and other disciples of the Chan Sect couldn't help but slam their fists on the table and stand up. When they looked at Haotian, their auras exploded out.

For a moment, the entire Jade Pool fell completely silent, and countless powerful beings from the primordial era looked at each other in bewilderment upon witnessing this scene.

"Heh heh, Haotian is probably going to suffer a big fall this time. I think the Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Buddhism that came today are not simple~" Kunpeng, sitting next to Hongyun, said with a faint smile, his voice extremely gloomy, and his face full of a spectator's attitude.

He seemed to look down on Haotian from beginning to end. Even though Haotian had ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor through his own strength, the power of the Heavenly Court had not penetrated into the myriad beings of the primordial world, nor had it allowed the top beings of the primordial world to witness the might of a Heavenly Emperor.

Sometimes, if you endure something for too long or too much, it can give people the impression that you are not genuine or hypocritical!

"Haha, fellow Daoist, could you be one of them to come here today? After you obtained the River Map of Emperor Jun back then, it has now appeared in the hands of the Jie Sect. If it weren't for your help, I would hardly believe it!" Hongyun said with a smile as he looked at Kunpeng.

"Hehehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you, fellow Daoist. Back then, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan suppressed me with the power of the Holy Path. Later, Su Shao Chen, the Vice Leader of the Jie Sect, came to Beiming and took the Hetu to participate in the Zhou Tian Star Array. He also gained control of the Zhou Tian Star Array from Lu Ya in the past. With the fruits of my birth in the primordial world, Ancestor Gu Ci also had some dealings with the Jie Sect. Today, the Heavenly Court is so lively, how could I, your ancestor, not come and take a look!"

Upon hearing Kunpeng Ancestor's words, Hongyun couldn't help but stand up, cup his hands, and say, "This time, it is I who have forbidden you, fellow Daoist."

"I dare not. I was wrong in the past. It is only right that Fellow Daoist Guo Zhenyuan should be in charge of suppressing the eternal gathering!" Kunpeng said, looking at Hongyun.

The cause and effect between the two began with Hongyun's self-destruction years ago, creating countless entanglements, and reached its peak with Zhen Yuanzi's attainment of sainthood.

Now that he has returned to the primordial world and comprehended the heart of enlightenment, he has resolved the karmic ties with Hongyun. The two are now like old friends who have known each other for many years.

"All that is needed is for the Heavenly Emperor to say that my disciples of the Chan Sect will not be restricted by the Investiture of the Gods or the God-Slaying Whip in the future!" Guang Chengzi said calmly at the same time.

Upon hearing this, even Haotian couldn't help but sneer, "Ha, the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip are right here. If you possess them, then come and take them!"

"Since that's the case, then this humble Taoist will respectfully comply!" Guang Chengzi bowed his head upon seeing Haotian's attitude, and his aura began to rise.

At the same time, the Zhou Tian Star Array in the Heavenly Court was fully activated, and Su Shao Chen's figure appeared in front of Hao Tian at some unknown moment.

He bowed and smiled faintly as he looked at the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip. "Our Jie Sect has diligently cultivated the heavens and earth, protecting the safety and vitality of all living beings. Our merits and labors are immense, and we should not be confined to the realm of the heavens. Now, I, Su Shao Chen, as the Vice Leader of the Jie Sect, wish to seize power in the Heavenly Court. I wonder what the Heavenly Emperor's advice is?"

"If the Heavenly Emperor allows our Jie Sect to hold the Investiture of the Gods, to rule over the eighteen heavens, and to obtain the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and to command all spirits, then our Jie Sect shall act on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Su Shao Chen's words startled countless Quasi-Saints in Yaochi, and countless Innate Immortal Officials looked at Su Shao Chen in utter astonishment.

The importance of the Investiture of the Gods goes without saying; it was essential for bestowing titles upon all the gods. Once the Investiture of the Gods was obtained, the bestowal of titles upon all the gods would be in the hands of the Intercepting Sect.

It would be even more extraordinary to rule over all eighteen heavens. The Heavenly Court has thirty-three heavens. If the Jie Sect were to rule over all eighteen heavens, the Heavenly Court would probably no longer be the Heavenly Court of the Jade Emperor, but rather the Heavenly Court of the Jie Sect!

As for the Heavenly Dao authority, that is even more important. It is the key to Haotian, the Heavenly Emperor, having the sole authority to bestow titles and fortunes upon the gods and the Heavenly Court. It is also an important bargaining chip for Haotian to win over all the scattered immortals, and it is even more important than the peaches of immortality.

But now Su Shao Chen's words seem to be trying to sideline him.

This enraged Haotian. In Haotian's eyes, the Chan Sect's actions were nothing more than a minor disturbance, while the Jie Sect was trying to eradicate his lineage!

"Insolence!" Haotian roared, his power surpassing that of a Quasi-Saint, and his immense pressure made everyone in Yaochi feel his strength.

This unparalleled imperial law spread from the Heavenly Court in all directions, reaching the Dragon Clan, the Qilin Clan, the Fiery Cloud Cave...

At this moment, countless powerful beings from the primordial world turned their gazes toward the Heavenly Court. When they saw that it was actually the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect who wanted to challenge the might of the Heavenly Emperor, countless powerful beings from the primordial world turned their gazes toward the Jade Pool.

"Since the Heavenly Emperor does not allow it, then our Jie Sect shall take it ourselves." Su Shao Chen couldn't help but smile faintly upon hearing Hao Tian's words.

Immediately, the Zhou Tian Star Array behind him began to operate with a roar, and the pressure that surpassed the Quasi-Saint realm spread throughout the primordial world, with endless starlight enveloping the entire Yaochi.

The supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Hetu, seemed to have made up for the huge deficiency in the Zhou Tian Star Array, making the array's pressure now infinitely close to that of a half-step Hunyuan or half-saint.

At the same time, the entire Heavenly Court was shaken. Bai Wei unleashed the aura of a Quasi-Saint at the initial stage, and summoned all the armies under the Heavenly Court's command.

"Where are the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of my Heavenly Court!" Bai Wei shouted, and the voices of millions of Heavenly Court soldiers echoed throughout the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Thirty-three generals at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm appeared in each heaven. Behind each of these generals were sixteen Great Luo Golden Immortals and countless Taiyi Golden Immortals.

All the Great Luo Golden Immortals wear innate battle armor and wield innate spiritual treasures. In the Thirty-Three Heavens, each general leads the army behind him, allowing their aura to directly span the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Even the Zhou Tian Star Array was being impacted by millions of troops. The starlight and immortal golden light were constantly attacking from the sheer force of the attack.

The oppressive aura emanating from Haotian was terrifying, comparable to a battle between quasi-saints at their peak, causing countless powerful beings to gasp in shock when they looked at him.

To their astonishment, when Haotian threw out his Heavenly Emperor Seal, the entire Thirty-Three Heavens seemed to connect together.

The momentum of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers suppressed in each level of heaven began to rise layer by layer.

"In accordance with the will of Heaven, wielding the power of Heaven, and restoring the will of the Heavenly Emperor, the Thirty-Threefold Heavenly Array is activated!" (End of Chapter)
