Chapter 218 Not as good as a single ox!
as predicted,
Haotian and Yaochi's superficial efforts were still somewhat effective!
The grand and magnificent scene of rebuilding the Heavenly Court,
It also attracted a "quite" number of independent cultivators to come and seek refuge here, in a scattered manner.
Although the number was small, and the cultivation level was not high.
But at least the two are no longer commanders alone.
The makeshift team has now been officially set up!
Thirty-three days
On the ruins of the former Lingxiao Palace,
Now, thanks to everyone's efforts,
A reasonably solemn palace was barely erected.
The plaque bears the three gilded characters "Lingxiao Palace".
It can be considered the facade of the new Heavenly Court.
The interior of the hall was simply furnished, yet it was filled with an ethereal atmosphere.
After the Haotian Mirror was hung high in the main position, the Heavenly Emperor's Seal was placed in front of the desk.
The phantom image of the Investiture of the Gods is still enshrined nearby.
however,
This heavenly court, which seemed to be taking shape,
Upon closer inspection, it was still deserted and extremely embarrassing.
Haotian and Yaochi sat high on their thrones.
Looking at the few dozen temporarily appointed celestial officials and generals scattered around His Highness...
Although her face still maintained the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother,
But bitterness welled up inside him.
Those who came to seek refuge,
Most of them were either not doing well in the prehistoric world, or had offended powerful enemies.
Or perhaps they are simply opportunistic, trying to gain a new status as a rogue cultivator or a wild god.
The highest cultivation level is only Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Most of them rely on elixirs and fortuitous encounters to advance their ranks; their foundations are weak.
They are truly at the very bottom of the bottom!
Their character is even more varied, good or bad.
There are many who are cunning and deceitful, and who outwardly comply but inwardly defy.
Expecting them to restore order to the world and demonstrate the might of Heaven?
Ha ha!
It's good enough if they don't cause trouble!
All they can do is stay and repair the palace!
What troubled Haotian Yaochi even more was that
They re-established the Heavenly Court in accordance with the decree of the Taoist patriarch.
Under the guise of "acting on behalf of Heaven,"
I thought I could get a lot of support just by calling on people.
At least the Three Pure Ones of Xuanmen were direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor.
Shouldn't we give them some face and send some of our capable disciples to support them?
And the result?!
Kunlun Mountain, Jin'ao Island, and Shouyang Mountain were all treated perfunctorily.
He barely even glanced at the two of them!
The Primordial Celestial Venerable sent a disciple named "Old Man of the South Pole" to offer his congratulations.
Sending a few bottles of pills will solve the problem!
The Master of Heaven simply had one of his seven attendant immortals, Wuyun Xian, deliver a decent immortal sword.
The person didn't even show their face.
Lao Tzu only sent the Grand Master Xuandu a message: "Follow the Way of Heaven and act accordingly."
That was the last time.
The scene became quite awkward!
This attitude clearly says:
We know about this, and since it's the teacher's arrangement, we naturally don't object.
But don't expect us to do anything.
Heaven? You two can play by yourselves!
What made Haotian feel most powerless was the lower realm.
Especially now that its fortunes are flourishing,
The human race has become an undeniable force in the primordial world!
He dispatched several groups of celestial messengers, each carrying an edict from the Heavenly Emperor.
Head to the major human cities, especially the Human Emperor's City.
To declare the existence of the Heavenly Court,
The emperor or a wise man of the human race was bestowed the titles of "Son of Heaven on Earth" or "Star Lord/Deity".
The human race was also brought under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.
The results of it?
The celestial envoys who went there for the first time were turned away outside the city before they even saw the Human Emperor.
They didn't even ask why I came!
The second time,
Haotian personally added promises to the edict, such as bestowing blessings upon the human race and protecting their well-being.
The celestial envoy did manage to enter the city this time and briefly met the Human Emperor.
But who is this Human Emperor?! He is an avatar of Apocalypse!
Moreover, it has already received genuine recognition and blessings from the Father God Pangu!
How could it possibly have anything to do with the Heavenly Court?
Letting them in for a brief meeting was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision.
I want to dampen Haotian's enthusiasm!
The Witch King listened calmly to the imperial edict.
Then he squinted and smiled:
"Humanity will decide its own affairs."
My human emperor, born on the earth, is not subject to the light of heaven.
Entrusted by the people, I am solely dedicated to leading my clan to a peaceful life, to multiply and thrive.
Your immediate supervisor probably hasn't been in Honghuang for very long.
I'm still unclear about the situation of my human race.
Go back and have him go out and ask around, then he'll understand!
And let me emphasize again...
Humans do not need an emperor, but only a human king.
No need for divine intervention, just trust your own hands.
Go back! I won't make things difficult for those of you who work for Heaven!
But next time you come, my human race won't be so accommodating!
Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, Haotian was completely stunned.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on!
They didn't take the Emperor's words seriously either!
Thinking about it still made him a little angry, so he immediately had the celestial messenger take a sliver of light from the Haotian Mirror.
They planned to show the human race a little bit of their "divine might".
As a result, the dispatched subordinates had barely reached the human territory when...
It felt as if one's own magical power was being suppressed by a heavy, omnipresent force of the earth.
The light from the Haotian Mirror was also dim and unclear.
In the blink of an eye, the place where the first flame of humanity was enshrined...
It exudes a mysterious, yellow aura that originates from the same source as the netherworld.
It directly repels the celestial energy of the Heavenly Court.
Incidentally, I also extinguished a wisp of light from the Haotian Mirror!
And those human youths who are currently studying
Seeing the celestial messenger arrive on a cloud,
Instead of worshipping them, they started a discussion, pointing at them:
"Look, look!"
Are those the immortals described in the ancient texts?!
It is said that they survive by relying on the power of incense offerings and prayers, without engaging in any productive activities.
"It's not as practical as the blacksmithing and farming that our Human Emperor Cult teaches."
"Shh, keep your voice down!
The Emperor said,
We should maintain an attitude of observation and learning towards the unknown.
But there's no need for blind worship.
The celestial envoy looked at the extinguished beam of light and his own repelled celestial energy.
They fled back to Heaven in utter disarray.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, that human... is simply impervious to reason!"
And it seems like they have a powerful force backing them!
The celestial messenger in charge of the matter reported with a mournful face.
He was just a minor immortal who hadn't cultivated for very long, and he didn't know that the human race was connected to the underworld.
Ignorance breeds fearlessness, and he continued to complain:
They disrespect heaven and earth, and do not worship gods and immortals.
They only revere that human emperor and his ideas about "investigating things to acquire knowledge," "adapting to local conditions," and "human determination can conquer nature"!
The majesty of our Heavenly Court is terrifying in their eyes.
"Not even as good as an ox!"
Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance.
They both saw the seriousness and frustration in each other's eyes.
Humans, a race that appears weak yet possesses an astonishing reproductive capacity...
Moreover, under the leadership of the Human Emperor, this ethnic group mastered a unique path to civilization development.
It is already in both spiritual and practical life.
It was tightly bound to the tunnel vehicle.
They do not believe in the illusory blessings bestowed by Heaven.
They have even greater faith in the path they created with their own hands and the path guided by the Human Emperor.
The Heavenly Court wanted to use its divine power and divine favor to subdue the human race.
This path was blocked by the underworld long ago.
And it's completely blocked!
Under such probing
Haotian finally remembered the words that the Human Emperor had sent his subordinates to deliver!
The Human Emperor had previously sent someone to inquire about the situation of the human race.
He thought it was just a casual remark, that he looked down on the Heavenly Court!
But now, upon closer reflection,
Even the terrifying beams of light from the Haotian Mirror,
When the human tribe vanished in less than a second...
Only then did I realize that there must be things about this human race that I didn't know!
He immediately sent a message to Tongtian Shengren, the most approachable of the Three Pure Ones.
Inquire about the reason behind this!
