Chapter 462 On the Heavenly Court

Looking into Hongjun's eyes, Zhunti knew that if he continued to deny it, the West would likely face severe suppression from Hongjun.

"I have to take responsibility for what I did..."

At this moment, Zhunti believed that it was Hongjun who released the ten golden crows in order to trigger a great calamity, but he just didn't want to admit it.

The Dao Ancestor's reputation in the prehistoric world is now utterly ruined; if he were to admit to this now...

At that time, Hongjun would probably incur the wrath of both heaven and man.

Therefore, Zhunti was the only one left to suffer the consequences.

"Uh... back then... uh, well, I just felt sorry for the Ten Golden Crows being trapped in Tang Valley. After all, as innate spirits, they should be able to experience the world, instead of being caged birds in the Heavenly Court."

This was the only reason Zhunti could come up with in this emergency.

"But I never expected that Taiyi and Dijun had already planned this, using this incident as a pretext to trigger a great calamity."

But everyone present nodded.

Everyone knows the real reason. It's probably that Zhunti wants to take advantage of the chaos of the prehistoric world to bring some more people back to his Western Paradise. Sometimes, this guy's behavior is a bit too despicable.

I just didn't expect it to cause such a big problem.

If it weren't for Guiyuan and others, the primordial world would have already returned to chaos.

In a short time.

Guiyuan said, "Since that's the case, as Fellow Daoist Zhunti just said, once the culprit who triggered the great calamity is found, he will definitely be dealt with seriously."

Do you have any good suggestions for settling accounts with cause and effect?

Guiyuan hadn't expected that Taishang's transformation technique was indeed powerful; judging from the situation, it seemed that only Nuwa recognized that it was Taishang.

On the contrary, everyone else thought it was indeed Hongjun, but Hongjun spoke up and made Zhunti take the blame.

"He intends to form an alliance with the Supreme Lord, so he deliberately misleads everyone into thinking that he is the one making the plan. After all, Hongjun has been targeting the Human Dynasty for a long time, and he has always been the one supporting them behind the scenes."

Who would have thought that the real culprit was Taishang?

Guiyuan pondered in his heart that it was probably just as he thought. The key was that once everyone discovered that it was Taishang, the leader of the Human Religion, who actually used the Human Court as a pawn.

His position in the human court was probably extremely unstable, so Hongjun resorted to this as a second-best option, making Zhunti take the blame and shifting the blame onto himself.

And the Supreme One remains hidden.

"Yuan Zhen Li Heng... It seems that the Supreme One has also gained a deep understanding of the Dao of Bearing, which is why he triggered the great calamity. After this, he will probably have gained even more understanding of the Dao of Bearing."

Guiyuan glanced at Taishang, who had remained silent. This guy was indeed ruthless. In order to attain enlightenment, he directly triggered a great calamity. However, he did not expect that the Heavenly Court had the power to overturn the table.

But since Zhunti has accepted this cause and effect...

The words of a sage become law, in the unseen realm.

A portion of the karma that fell upon the Golden Crow clan directly fell upon Zhunti.

In an instant, Zhunti's body was filled with karma, and the Buddhas behind him, amidst the many golden lights, went mad and entered Nirvana under the influence of karma.

The already limited fortune and merit of the Western religion have been greatly reduced once again.

Zhunti's face also showed the same expression as his senior brother.

Sorrow and distress.

This was especially true after hearing Guiyuan's question, but now that he had already admitted it, Zhunti could only say, "Then please explain in detail, Your Majesty."

This great calamity is a struggle between heaven and man. At this moment, the reckoning of cause and effect should naturally be sought from Emperor Yuan. However, Yuan said indifferently, "We will discuss this after I return to the Human Dynasty."

Regardless of the final outcome, Zhunti triggered a great calamity, which indeed resulted in the deaths of many people in the dynasty. This is a blood debt.

However, it's impossible to say that Zhunti should pay with his life. Zhunti was indeed the catalyst, but it's also impossible to say that the cause and effect is greater than that of the ten golden crows, since it was the ten golden crows that caused the land to be scorched for thousands of miles.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti gave an even more wry smile.

This is a huge karmic consequence. Given the hatred that the human dynasty harbors towards the heavenly court, some of it will likely fall on him, making it even more difficult for the Western religion to spread its teachings within the human dynasty in the future.

"The origin of this great calamity has already been explained. But what about the old debts of the Heavenly Court? We can't possibly push all of it onto the deceased Emperor Jun and Taiyi," Guiyuan said calmly.

"Are there any old debts?"

"The Zhou Tian Star Array isolated all living beings in the primordial world from cultivation for so many generations. Surely the cause and effect must be settled."

Gui Yuan said calmly.

Hongjun's eyes narrowed. He already knew what Guiyuan was going to do, and he quickly said, "The Zhou Tian Star Array has perished along with Dijun and Taiyi, and the Chaos Bell has also fallen into the hands of the Great Immortal Guiyuan."

Is there still some dissatisfaction?

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but since there's one, there will be two. The Zhou Tian Star System involves the cultivation of all living beings in the prehistoric world, so I don't think it should be dominated by one entity."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.

Guiyuan smiled at Hongjun, but his smile infuriated Hongjun.

"Heaven, Earth, and Man: Earth has the Underworld and the Immortal's Abode; Man has the Court of Man. The Way of Man has the Book of Man, used to judge the sins of all living beings and settle karma. The Way of Earth has the Book of Earth, used to confer titles upon mountains and rivers and to organize the primordial continent."

That heavenly book must govern the celestial bodies.

Guiyuan finished speaking.

Hongjun didn't try to hide anything, but his expression when he looked at Guiyuan was revealing.

This guy really knows everything.

He casually tossed out a scroll, from which the power of numerous stars surged forth, and it also contained some other unique forces.

"Is this some kind of celestial script?"

Dongyue found it rather strange that it wasn't just his Earth Book that could confer titles upon the gods of mountains and rivers, and nurture the primordial world with the Dao of Earth Immortals.

Even this heavenly book can be used.

"This is the Heavenly Book, also known as the Investiture of the Gods. It can confer titles upon living beings to become gods in the Heavenly Court, and the Star Gods are among the gods in the Heavenly Court."

Hongjun's explanation caused everyone's expression to change slightly. It seemed that Hongjun's plan to rebuild the Heavenly Court was not just talk, but something he had already planned.

Even the Investiture of the Gods has been released.

"The Heavenly Court is newly established and needs manpower. It is impossible to use people from the demon race anymore, so we need to draw some people from the three major sects to build the Heavenly Court."

Hongjun said without changing his expression.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Court was necessary to exist, as it conformed to the three-dimensional structure of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the primordial world, and was also the process of bringing the primordial world from disorder to order.

He originally intended to use the Investiture of the Gods to restrict certain beings, but now, in the battle between heaven and man, he has already lost.

Then this thing cannot be part of his plan.

If he wanted to perfect the Heavenly Court, he couldn't possibly hide everything.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would never have been able to be established.

No one present spoke; instead, they looked at each other. The three people in the underground passage remained silent, as there were many destinations within the passage, including the underworld and the immortal realm.

If we want to fill the ranks in Heaven, we can only look to the Human Court and the Four Religions.
