Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Who is Bai Ze?

The legendary wise god-demon was renowned for his vast knowledge. Among the demon race, he was regarded as the wisest being, second only to the demon master Kunpeng.

Therefore, upon seeing the contents recorded in the Book of the Earthly Sovereign, he immediately understood Jiang Yuan's thoughts.

This is to create illustrations and books for Mintian, to present to Dijun, and to sing praises of his virtues.

Was this effective?

Bai Ze is certain that it is useful, and very useful at that.

Governing the celestial realm requires not only martial prowess but also civil administration.

It's easy to judge martial arts skill by observing the number of victories and the gains made in external wars. The more victories one wins and the greater the gains, the better one's martial arts skill becomes. Conversely, the fewer victories one wins and the worse one's martial arts skill becomes.

The Heavenly Court's martial arts skills are undoubtedly poor. They have won every battle against the myriad races, but have suffered repeated defeats against the Witch Clan, even being driven to their doorstep by the Witch Clan on several occasions.

If it weren't for the powerful Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array and the strength of the Chaos Bell, the Heavenly Court would have been breached by the Wu Clan long ago.

In this situation, it would be strange if he had good martial arts skills.

If martial arts skills are lacking, then one can only rely on civil administration. However, the Heavenly Court's civil administration is also a complete mess; it can only be said to be better than martial arts, but only by a limited margin.

Lacking both civil and military prowess, Emperor Jun's position as Heavenly Emperor is not only humiliating, but he is on the verge of becoming the object of ridicule among his fellow practitioners.

Emperor Jun was furious about this and severely punished many people. But it was no use; civil administration was still ineffective.

In this situation, Jiang Yuan's offering of the map and the precious book was of great significance and could be regarded as a model of the Heavenly Court's civil administration.

Can a map and a scroll really have such an exaggerated effect? ​​Absolutely!

Isn't this the essence of civil administration? After Jiang Yuan presented the map and the precious book, it opened up the Heavenly Court's mind. Next, the Heavenly Court could send people to draw a complete map of the Nine Heavens and an illustrated guide to the Nine Heavens' spiritual herbs.

Once the two books are completed and edited, countless people will benefit. Then, who would dare say that the Heavenly Court's civil administration is inadequate?

Even the Heavenly Way will manifest itself, bestowing merits to commend the Heavenly Court's civil administration.

This not only greatly enhanced Di Jun's prestige but also boosted the fortunes of the demon race. Wasn't that significant? It certainly deserves to be called a model of civil administration in the Heavenly Court.

After figuring this out, Bai Ze's gaze towards Jiang Yuan completely changed.

He had previously wondered why Jiang Yuan was only a Celestial Immortal, and his origins were not those of a Primordial God or Demon, but rather a Primordial True Spirit, which was practically everywhere among the demon race.

Why would such an ordinary person be chosen by the goddess Nuwa to be her true disciple?

But now he understood. It turned out that what Goddess Nuwa valued was Jiang Yuan's wisdom. Although this boy's background was not good, his wisdom was extremely amazing, even surpassing his own, making him a person of great wisdom.

If you lack the foundation, there are plenty of ways to improve it later. But if you lack wisdom, it's much harder to improve it later.

Therefore, when important figures take on disciples, unless the background is truly exceptionally strong, they will prioritize wisdom and comprehension, followed by perseverance, and finally talent and background.

"This child is so intelligent that he should only be befriended, and never be made an enemy of."

Bai Ze no longer dared to underestimate Jiang Yuan, and instead placed him in an extremely dangerous position.

Although it was his first time in the Heavenly Court, judging from his performance, he would surely be favored by Emperor Jun and thus be given an important position.

Because the Heavenly Court is sorely lacking in civil administration talent, Emperor Jun will definitely offer Jiang Yuan great rewards in order to retain him.

To entice a disciple of a sage, the benefits would be far greater than Bai Ze could even imagine; they would undoubtedly far exceed his own treatment.

"Alright, we can get going now."

After a while, Jiang Yuan finished recording, stood up, and spoke to Bai Ze. Then, feigning regret, he added:

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Court is in such chaos, with demons causing trouble everywhere, wasting a lot of my time. As a result, I was unable to complete the gift I prepared for the Heavenly Emperor, which is truly a shame."

"..."

Bai Ze, listening from the side, was speechless. Could this have been said any more deliberately?

The Mintian Demon Clan is truly unlucky to have encountered you. Not only are they being blackmailed, but in the end, they're also being framed.

In any case, with Jiang Yuan's words, his extortion is considered over, but the Mintian Demon Clan's sabotage of Jiang Yuan's preparation of a grand ceremony for the Heavenly Emperor is unlikely to be forgotten.

Shaking his head, Bai Ze didn't say anything more. He directly used his divine power to take Jiang Yuan across the void and arrive at the Heavenly Court located in the center of Juntian.

The Heavenly Court, formed from the innate Daoist principles, consists of 129,600 divine palaces. It is located in the center of heaven and earth, surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars.

Looking into the distance, one can only see endless purple mist, which is the manifestation of the celestial fortune of all things gathered together.

As you get closer, you can gradually see the temples that are surrounded by the innate Daoist aura. At the same time, an immense sense of majesty washes over you, making you instinctively want to bow down and worship.

"The Heavenly Emperor, Xi Huang, and the Eastern Emperor are all waiting for you in the Lingxiao Palace located in the center of the Heavenly Court. Come with me."

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Court, Bai Ze slowed down and led Jiang Yuan through the various temples, heading towards the center of the Heavenly Court.

"Tsk tsk..."

"The Taoist atmosphere here is at least 360 times stronger than that of the human world. No wonder people say that a day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth."

Jiang Yuan was filled with emotion. The Daoist aura was 360 times stronger. What did that mean? It meant that cultivating here for one day was better than cultivating in the mortal world for one year.

No wonder the demon race is getting stronger and stronger; they're living such a comfortable life.

They traveled in silence and soon arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.

Inside the hall, three imperial figures stood tall. The one in the center was a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe embroidered with the stars of the heavens.

He stood there quietly, yet he gave the impression of being the center of the universe, the master of heaven and earth, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving around him, and all living beings bowing down to him in worship.

Without a doubt, this person is none other than the nominal Lord of the Primordial World, the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.

On his left and right were two young men. The one on the left was dressed in a black robe, with a handsome face and an air of supreme invincibility, looking down on the past, present, and future.

The one on the right, dressed in a green robe with flowing black hair, possessed a majestic figure, as if the Great Dao had been born, constantly resonating with heaven and earth, exuding a powerful aura that commanded all beings, making one dare not look directly at him.

Without a doubt, the young man on the left is Donghuang Taiyi, and the young man on the right is Xihuang Fuxi.

These three are the Three Sovereigns of the Demon Race. In an era when sages did not appear, they represented the pinnacle of the primordial world.

"Oh, it's you!"

"I knew it! Who would dare to cause trouble in the Heavenly Realm? It's no surprise it's you."

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, the three of them glanced at him, then suddenly let out a soft exclamation, all showing expressions of sudden realization.

"Have the three emperors greeted their disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan mustered his courage and asked. The strange behavior of the three reminded him of when he first met the Goddess Nuwa, who had acted similarly, as if she had already seen him before.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't recall when he had seen Nuwa and the others.
