Chapter 39: The Great Tribulation of the Sealed Gods (Second Update)

  Zi Xuan Palace had just sent off the four avatars of Yu Long Taizi, and now welcomed Yu Long Taizi's old man - Huang Tian Yu Huang Dadi.

  The vast sky was speeding by, and finally, the familiar Zi Xuan Palace came into view. He couldn't help but think of the carefree days when he and Yao Chi served the Dao Zu together, attending to his needs without a worry in the world. The position of Tian Di may be revered, but where is the freedom and joy of those bygone days? Especially in this chaotic Hong Huang, where the master of the three realms is struggling to take a step forward, now being bullied by the Western Sect and having to come to plead his case, it's truly a great tragedy.

  As soon as Haotian fell in front of the Zixiao Palace gate, he knelt down with a crash, like a golden mountain and jade pillar falling.

  "Unworthy disciple Haotian seeks an audience with the Master!" The voice was filled with sorrow and indignation. This Haotian was indeed a figure of the Emperor's level, but having been the ruler of the Three Realms for so long, if he still didn't understand even this much about the art of darkness, then he really lacked insight.

  Nor was there any sound coming from the Zi Xuan Palace, and the huge palace gates creaked open.

  Haotian knew this was a sign for him to enter, so he tidied up his somewhat disheveled dragon robe and walked into the Zixiao Palace with his head lowered.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu was still in his usual calm and composed demeanor, quietly sitting on the couch, closing his eyes to contemplate the Tao. Hao Tian walked to the temple below, kneeling down to pay respects: "Disciple Hao Tian greets Master, wishing Master a long and auspicious life." Hao Tian had been Hong Jun's Dao Tong before, and was also considered one of the two named disciples, so it was reasonable for him to address Hong Jun as Master.

  Hongjun slowly opened his ordinary eyes, looked at the bitter-looking Haotian, and let out a soft sigh.

  "I already know your intention, but what those few saints did was too much. However, since you've come to find me this time, it will surely make those few saints jealous of you, alas..."

  However, the Way of Heaven truly pities the Emperor of Heaven. Although it is said that the Great Calamity of the Sealing of the Gods was destined to be triggered by this ruler of the Three Realms, if he could offend a few fewer saints, then so much the better. Now, however, apart from the Church of the Word and the Human Church, the Western Church and the Intercepting Church have all been resented by the Emperor of Heaven. As the ruler of the Three Realms, every thought in his heart will stir up no small commotion, to say nothing of his dissatisfaction with the saints.

  "The disciple also knew that this would lead to endless troubles, but the two Western saints were indeed too deceitful. Moreover, there were many disciples of the Intercepting Sect who despised the Heavenly Court and were not worthy of respect. The disciple really couldn't bear it anymore!" After saying that, he fiercely knocked his head twice, truly enraged to the extreme.

  Hong Jun fell silent for a moment, knowing that some things had been predetermined by the heavens. Fortunately, there were still Yuanshi and Laozi to support Huang Tian, so the future might not be too difficult after all.

  Only then did the Taoist ancestor pull out a scroll from his bosom, which was neither gold nor silver, and its material was unknown. The Taoist ancestor gently pushed it forward, and it arrived in Haotian's hands. Haotian hastily opened it, and the scroll emitted countless rays of light as Haotian moved, instantly illuminating the entire Purple Heaven Palace. Moreover, three characters slowly formed in mid-air: "The Investiture of the Gods".

  That's right, this is the heavenly treasure, along with the human book "Book of Life and Death" in the hands of Yan Du, and the earth book held by Town Yuan Daxian, the heavenly book "Seal of the Gods"!

  What is meant by "Sealing the Gods" is naturally to assist Emperor Heaven in controlling the Immortal Path between heaven and earth. If one still has a physical body, it's fine; sealing the gods with a physical body won't impose too many restrictions. However, if one loses their physical body and seals the gods with their primordial spirit, then their magical powers will no longer have any possibility of growth from that point on. Moreover, their life and fate will be entirely in the hands of the Master of the Heavenly Book.

  After reading this information, Haotian couldn't help but feel great joy. This way, it would be perfect to let those Holy Sons' disciples get on the list, and then they could properly deal with those arrogant guys!

  Carefully collecting "The Investiture of the Gods", Haotian knocked his head against Hongjun to thank him repeatedly.

  Hong Jun sighed and let Hao Tian go back to prepare for the ceremony of sealing the gods, while he was going to discuss with those six saints.

  Brocade heavens, Queen of Heaven's palace.

  The Nüwa Goddess, the Holy Mother of Humanity, has been meditating with her eyes closed since the fall of the You Court. She gathered some ancient saints from the You Court and returned to the Jiuzhou Tian in the primordial chaos, no longer paying attention to worldly affairs. In reality, she felt that her own strength was too weak, and she couldn't compete with others in the Holy War. Although Zhu Ti wasn't much stronger than her, at least he had a powerful senior brother to guide him, but what about her? Her older brother Fuxi had achieved the Tian Huang position and his strength was almost at the level of a Great Saint, but his personality was even more indifferent than in ancient times, and he didn't want to get involved with You Court affairs again. He would occasionally come to visit his younger sister and chat with her about family matters.

  This made Nüwa, who had once thought that the Pre-Heaven Eight Trigrams were even stronger than Fuxi's sacred persons and had taken the initiative in the game, greatly disappointed.

  However, she didn't know that Fuxi was well aware that his inference technique was too powerful, and the saints of the heavens wouldn't let him help the demon tribe rise again. If he dared to intervene, it's likely that several saints would take action directly and destroy the foundation of the demon tribe.

  At this moment, Nuwa, who was quietly cultivating, suddenly heard the voice of Hongjun Daozu: "You quickly come to Zixiao Palace!"

  She suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and the delicate eyebrows of Nüwa slightly furrowed. A hint of worry appeared on her face: "The Taoist ancestor has summoned us, could it be that the great calamity is really coming?"

  It's not just her who has such thoughts, several other saints who possess great teachings are also extremely worried.

  After hearing the summons, he looked at Zhun Ti with a thoughtful expression, then sighed. Whether it's good fortune or bad luck, misfortune can't be avoided. Cause and effect cycle around, retribution is inevitable. He just hoped that this time would be an opportunity for prosperity!

  Thinking so, the two of them quickly set off and arrived at Chaos.

  Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun met unexpectedly in the primordial chaos. Laozi saw Yuanshi's calm and composed demeanor, and felt a slight sense of puzzlement. He thought to himself, "The master has summoned me, which means a great calamity is approaching, so why does the founder of the teachings seem so unruffled?"

  Seeing his senior brother's confusion, the original smiled and transmitted a voice: "Senior brother, are you wondering why I'm so relaxed? Let me tell you, after the Yao Ji event, my disciple Yu Long Dao Jun and I discussed it. This great calamity is likely to be the cause of the Western Sect, and has nothing much to do with us."

  The old master's cultivation was so profound that upon hearing the words, he roughly calculated and immediately understood the cause and effect within. However, he couldn't help but shake his head and lose himself in laughter, thinking that the Western teachings were too absurd - how could they steal the personal belongings of the Three Realms' most revered being?

  He then thought of his junior fellow apprentice, Tong Tian: "It seems that Junior Fellow Apprentice Tong Tian's sect is also implicated in this. What should be done about it?"

  Yuanshu also sighed, although he didn't get along with Tongtian, they were after all brothers of the same root and origin, how could Yuanshu not have a thread of affection?

  "I only hope that Master Tongtian can clarify the heavenly numbers, cut through the chaos with a sharp knife, and expel those who do not cultivate virtue from the sect."

  The old man nodded in agreement as soon as he heard it.

  In the Zixiao Palace, not long after Haotian's departure, four saints arrived one after another. It was indeed a grand gathering of saints from all heavens, with lush green grass and flying orioles dancing wildly, countless lotus flowers of merits blooming continuously, making the originally quiet Zixiao Palace extraordinarily lively.

  The four Eastern Sages arrived first, and Yuanshi saw Tongtian holding the Qingpingsword with his eyes closed, cultivating his spirit. He wanted to say something to him, but was rebuffed by Tongtian's cold hum, which made even a sage like Yuanshi feel a surge of anger. So he didn't speak to Tongtian anymore. Laozi saw that Tongtian had no respect for his elders and also felt a flash of displeasure, but with Nüwa present, it wasn't good to make a scene and let outsiders see the Three Pure Ones being ridiculed.

  Before long, the sound of Buddhist chanting drifted over from the west.

  A traveler from the Land of Bliss, a divine being with wondrous skills from the West. The lotus flower is my parents, and I have established myself in the nine grades.

  By the pool are divided eight virtues, often overlooking the seven treasures garden. After the Pādmas flower blooms, the ground is covered with golden jewels.

  Discussing the three vehicles, the relics are stored in the belly. With affinity born in this land, after a long time fortunately becoming a ?rama?a.

  The great immortal's bare feet tread on the fragrant pear blossoms, his footsteps on the clouds are even more extraordinary.

  Twelve lotus platforms display precious Dharma treasures, beside Eight Virtues Pool appears white light.

  Words as enduring as heaven and earth, speech as unfathomable as a great flood; fortune comes from the depths of the ocean, how can it be described as madness?

  The name of the completed relics is Taixi. The Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss is requested.

  Everyone looked over and found that it was the usher with a bitter face. Next to him was Zhunti, who had been blowing autumn wind in Honghuang all along.

  The Four Sages hastily paid their respects to the Escort, but as for Zhunti... neither the Three Pure Ones nor Nüwa looked down on his character, so they simply didn't speak to him. Enraged, Zhunti's face turned iron-green, and the Escort hurriedly blocked his junior brother with a bitter smile, otherwise something would have happened in the Purple Mist Palace, and it would have been very bad for the Western Pure Land.

  Since all six saints have arrived, Hong Jun no longer pretended to be mysterious and directly appeared on the couch.

  The saints of all heavens hastily knocked their heads and said: "Master, your holy life is boundless."

  The seal of the gods is about to begin, those with tickets please give a vote, those without tickets add a collection, especially that group of goods! You dare say again that all the votes are rotten at home, I'll blow up your chrysanthemum with the god-killing gun!!!
