Chapter 4 As the Heavenly Emperor, what's wrong with me being a little more assertive?
The cultivators present were all lost in their own thoughts, and Haotian naturally had no interest in singing and dancing.
The probing just now.
Not only did they see through the true colors of the Six Saints, but they also saw them clearly.
Incidentally, the current attitude of Dao Ancestor Hongjun has also become completely clear.
Haotian got the answer he wanted.
As it stands, the old man from Zixiao Palace is still on his side.
This result did not disappoint Haotian.
Haotian hasn't done anything outrageous yet, nor has he shown any bad behavior.
Under these circumstances, it's only natural that the old man would side with him.
After all, if Haotian were killed by a sage, it would be Hongjun Daozu who would become a laughing stock.
The fall of the Eastern King Duke can be attributed to his own failure to see the situation clearly.
But what if Haotian is killed again?
Then what prestige does Hongjun Daozu still have?
The two leaders appointed in succession were killed.
How can Hongjun then deter the cultivators of the prehistoric world?
Since Haotian was put on the stage by Dao Ancestor, he represents the face of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
It also represents the future order of the primordial world.
It also signifies the future stability of the primordial world.
In the original timeline, Haotian filed a complaint once.
Even the Dao Ancestor could use this to propel a great eon.
Regardless of whether Hongjun Daozu had any ulterior motives behind this action.
But the truth is that the great calamity was caused by Haotian's complaint.
Moreover, Haotian was, after all, from Zixiao Palace, so he could be considered half a disciple.
Do you, the sage, need noodles, but does Hongjun Daozu not need noodles?
He, Hongjun Daozu, merely attained the Dao; he did not die.
Regarding the matter of offending the Six Saints.
Haotian didn't regret it too much.
If it were just the Six Saints looking down on them, that would be one thing.
Who can blame them for having such high cultivation?
But what are those disciples of saints?
Their cultivation level isn't even as high as Haotian's, so why do they look down on him?
It's one thing to look down on someone in your heart, but to do the same in your actions.
Moreover, they had to endure the schemes of the Six Saints.
Ever since I ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, I have been present in every great calamity of the primordial world.
What's even more infuriating is...
The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods clearly replenished the Heavenly Court's manpower.
However, the result was that he was sidelined by the cultivators of the three religions.
The mighty Heavenly Emperor was made a laughingstock of the primordial world by a few sages.
If Haotian wants to live a more comfortable life, he will inevitably have to confront these great sages and sects.
Tolerate?
I can't stand even a little bit.
If you hold back for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel like you've lost out!
As the Heavenly Emperor, what's wrong with me being a little assertive?
What kind of Heavenly Emperor would he be if he weren't powerful?
.....
Time passed slowly.
The banquet in the Jade Pool Wonderland was drawing to a close amidst the various thoughts of the cultivators.
The time was almost right.
Haotian then gathered his thoughts, slowly stood up, and said, "Fellow Daoists!"
I am deeply grateful for the Dao Ancestor's favor!
I hereby bestow upon myself the title of Heavenly Emperor!
I am keenly aware of the weight of this responsibility.
Now that the Heavenly Court is newly established, I hope that all fellow Daoists will remember the friendships we shared in the past.
Give me your full support!
of course!
I am not forcing you to abandon your current cultivation methods and come to my Heavenly Court out of personal feelings.
Regarding joining the Heavenly Court and working together to maintain stability in the primordial world.
My attitude has always been one of freedom and openness.
I welcome everyone who is willing to come.
He will certainly be entrusted with important responsibilities.
If you don't want to come, I won't force you.
Just be more mindful of your words and actions in the future.
Do not add to the bloodshed and create all kinds of evil deeds in the wilderness.
This led to a disorder in the cause and effect of the primordial world.
Since all of you fellow Daoists are here today, in order to maintain the stability of the primordial world, I wish to make a covenant with you all.
From now on, all cultivators of the primordial world shall not engage in the indiscriminate slaughter of primordial beings.
All cultivators of the primordial world must not disrupt the primordial cause and effect.
All cultivators of the primordial world must not disrupt the order of the primordial world.
All cultivators in the primordial world who have heavy karma will be punished by the Heavenly Court.
What are your thoughts on these four points?
As soon as Haotian finished speaking, the cultivators present fell silent.
He started complaining in his mind.
I knew there was no such thing as a good banquet.
Haotian is trying to set rules for everyone!
However, Haotian now holds the "truth".
If they dare to stand up to even a saint, then if they resolutely resist, it will be difficult to resolve the matter peacefully.
However, this rule is not excessive for me.
They are all Xuanmen cultivators from Zixiao Palace, who would bother with such trivial matters?
Only the disciples of the Jie Sect, because they were protected by a sage, did not know how to restrain themselves.
A moment later.
Many cultivators said in unison, "What the Great Celestial Venerable said is indeed wise advice for maintaining the stability of the prehistoric world."
We have no reason to object.
We accept these four conditions on our own behalf.
Seeing that many cultivators had spoken up.
Duobao Daoren and other disciples of the Jie Sect were extremely distressed.
I feel like I'm being targeted.
But the tide of events is irreversible; how could they possibly reverse it?
Left with no other choice, he could only agree.
Seeing that the cultivators agreed, Haotian nodded in satisfaction.
He certainly didn't expect these cultivators to agree to join the Heavenly Court just because they attended one Peach Banquet.
However, having obtained this alliance, Haotian is not at a loss.
At least from now on, Haotian will have a legitimate reason to do things.
With these four rules, Haotian was able to establish countless heavenly rules and regulations.
Haotian then said, "Thank you for your support, fellow Daoists!"
Please rest assured, fellow Daoists!
From now on, when I establish heavenly rules and precepts, these four articles shall be used as the basis for detailed revision.
I would like to express my gratitude to all my fellow Daoists for attending this banquet!
Fellow Daoists, you are all diligent and true cultivators, so I will not take up any more of your time.
Please forgive me for being unable to see you off at such a distance!
Upon hearing this, the cultivators immediately cupped their hands and said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, please wait!"
We'll take our leave!
After speaking...
The cultivators left the Heavenly Court in small groups.
After all the cultivators left.
Yaochi then said to Haotian, "Your Majesty, why do you insist on confronting that Sage head-on?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian replied with a burning gaze: "By force?"
Do not!
This is something I must go through.
If I choose to remain silent this time, how should I deal with these disciples of the Sage in the future?
Must we always endure in silence?
The aspirations of a cultivator are boundless.
Once they've gained a little benefit, they'll only want more.
Just like the pursuit of higher levels of cultivation, there will never be a day when it stops.
Upon hearing Haotian's words, Yaochi fell into deep thought.
How could she not be completely unaware of the thoughts of the sage's disciple?
They simply didn't want the Heavenly Court to control them.
If it's just this requirement, then it's not a big deal.
Freedom!
Who wouldn't want that?
But the question is, is this freedom without limits?
Unrestricted freedom would be a disaster for the primordial world.
It is also a trampling on the majesty of the Heavenly Court.
When that time comes, the Heavenly Court, which has been neglecting the disciples of the sages, will inevitably suffer the consequences.
It's like a blessing enjoyed by a wealthy family.
Those who commit this sin will suffer the consequences in Heaven as well.
It's one thing to suffer for no reason.
The key issue is that you still have to put up with the temper of those cultivators.
And they don't even know how much suffering they're going to endure.
What if they are the reason why Heaven is plunged into another great calamity?
Or, to put it more seriously, could it be that an immeasurable calamity has arrived ahead of schedule?
He sighed after a moment.
"Since Your Majesty already has such thoughts in mind, I will say no more."
"Your Majesty, please depart first. I will make further arrangements to settle things."
Haotian nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"
After saying this, Haotian set off back to Taiwei Palace.
