Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 126 Haotian: What does it mean to be conscientious and diligent?

We wholeheartedly recommend this book to you: "Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful", available here.

Upon hearing Haotian's question, Yuanshi Tianzun's face immediately turned red.

I wanted to refute it, but I didn't know how to start.

A flat denial?

That depends on who you're dealing with.

With the old man around, how could his actions stand up to scrutiny?

If we deny it now, the old man will simply wave his hand and expose the truth in front of us.

At that time, Yuanshi Tianzun will do more than just throw noodles.

Seeing the expression on Yuanshi Tianzun's face, Haotian gave him no room to think.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "The Primordial Sage's ability to teach his disciples is not very good."

His skill in scheming against female cultivators is truly first-rate.

"Was I wrong to tell you not to interfere in education?"

After confronting Yuanshi Tianzun, Haotian turned his attention to the other saints.

"What?

Do the sages have nothing to say?

Or do you also think that what I said makes sense?

Since you think what I said makes sense, then quickly disband the great religion!

Continuing like this would only hinder their spiritual practice.

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Taishang could no longer remain calm.

He then said, "The Heavenly Emperor's words are somewhat biased!"

How does an old Taoist teach and guide? He has his own methods.

Why should you have a say?

On the contrary, the Heavenly Emperor nominally punished Yao Ji.

They suppressed him on Peach Mountain.

But in reality, he was both leaving behind cultivation techniques and giving away peaches.

What kind of punishment is this?

However, the suppression of a calamity is still based on the number of calamities.

Upon hearing this, Haotian sneered, "Let's talk about Yao Ji first."

Tell me, did I suppress it or not?

Was she suppressed by me under Peach Mountain?

As for leaving behind the cultivation method and sending peaches of immortality?

What does it matter to you, the Supreme Lord, who I give my things to, and when I give them to you?

Tell me!

Can I dispose of my own things?

If not, then you should focus too much on what you have, whether it's a cultivation technique or a magical treasure.

Does that mean it also falls under the jurisdiction of me, the Heavenly Emperor?

Did you obtain my permission before passing on those things?

Even if I hadn't ascended the throne at the time, did you give me a report afterward?

And to whom did you report to the other sages?

Whose permission was obtained?

Having said this, Haotian glanced around at the six saints.

He then continued, "No, right?"

None of you have consulted me regarding matters of spiritual treasures and cultivation techniques.

Why is it that when it comes to me, even how I dispose of my own things requires your permission, Your Majesty?

That's utter nonsense!

As for the education you mentioned, there are established rules.

I have not seen any rules or regulations from your Supreme Lordship.

If things are left to their own devices, that's also part of the rules.

Your rules are a bit too flexible.

It's so flexible that it's the same whether you're there or not.

Since it's all the same whether you teach me or not, what use are you?

Do you expect me to take advantage of your good fortune?

Or do you want me to waste resources like this?

Upon hearing Haotian's accusations, Taishang retorted, "This is my way of non-action!"

What do you know?

"How could you possibly comprehend the great path of the sages?"

Haotian chuckled upon hearing this.

"hehe!

What a profound principle of non-action!

When you put it that way, it really does sound quite inactive.

You ignore the suffering of humanity, but reap the benefits when humanity rises.

To be able to describe getting something for nothing in such a refined and elegant way—truly a sage!

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Taishang immediately replied, "Hmph!"

How could you possibly understand my plans?

It was fate, and the old Taoist was simply going with the flow.

This is the will of Heaven; how can this old Taoist priest defy it?

Fortune and misfortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself!

You're not at a high enough level; you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you.

Upon hearing this, Haotian chuckled and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"It is my limited understanding that I cannot comprehend such shamelessness!"

Seeing that Taishang was at a disadvantage, Zhunti could no longer remain calm and observe the situation.

If they don't manage to refute Haotian, things could get really serious if the old man takes back their authority to teach.

How can he repay the great vows owed by the two Western Saints?

This matter has touched upon their fundamental core interests.

It's not an option to not fight.

Immediately, Zhunti spoke up, "I cannot agree with what the Heavenly Emperor has said!"

Since attaining enlightenment and sainthood, my fellow disciples and I have considered ourselves to be working diligently for the revitalization of the West.

I dare not slack off for even a day, yet I have ended up in the mouth of the Heavenly Emperor.

Are we just going to be left with nothing to do?

As soon as Zhunti finished speaking, Haotian's face showed undisguised disdain.

How did the Sage Zhunti come to embody the word "diligent and conscientious" in himself?

Since you say you are diligent and conscientious, then I will assume for now that you are indeed diligent and conscientious.

but.

You have been working diligently for so long, but has the West changed in the slightest?

How many Western beings have you two enlightened?

How much have you two improved the environment in the Western region?

If being a freeloader can be considered "diligent and conscientious," then such "diligence and conscientiousness" is far too cheap.

Or are you diligently trying to freeload off others?

Tell me, what does it mean to be diligent and conscientious?

As soon as Haotian finished speaking, the clock in Zixiao Palace could be heard striking zero.

That's absolutely brilliant!

Are they diligently and conscientiously taking advantage of others?

Although the words are harsh, isn't this exactly what these two people did?

Upon seeing the two Western Saints, Haotian directly exposed their actions.

After so long, finally another cultivator directly exposed the two's behavior.

However, their smiles lasted no more than three seconds.

Then Haotian changed the subject and said, "Master Tongtian, how can you laugh like that?"

What's so good about your Jie Sect?

The disciples are said to be numerous, with the number actually approaching 100,000.

but.

How did you teach them?

Among the 100,000 disciples and followers, how many have accumulated merit?

Where does your teaching manifest itself?

Do they only take in the students but not educate them?

A teacher who is not strict in his teaching is a failure!

The Jie Sect has become what it is today.

You, with your extraordinary connections, are undeniably culpable!

Upon hearing Haotian's words, the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately tried to defend himself.

"I...I am the Emperor!"

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, the Tongtian Sect Leader didn't know how to refute them.

Does he say he taught his disciples to be virtuous?

That's just talk.

Judging from the results, it was completely useless.

If it were just a few individual disciples burdened with karmic debts, that would be one thing.

That could be excused by saying that the disciples messed things up themselves.

However, out of 100,000 disciples, 90% are burdened by karmic debts.

That's where the problem comes in.

How exactly were they taught?

How can so many people burdened with karma be cultivated?

After a moment of speechlessness, the Tongtian Cult Leader's face had turned bright red.

How long?

How long has it been since the Tongtian Sect Leader was insulted like this?

And they insulted him so badly that he couldn't refute them.

No matter how you argue, the facts are right in front of you.

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader wished he could rush back to Jin'ao Island immediately and deal with those good-for-nothings.

They were all sent back for rework.

Meanwhile, Nuwa, standing to the side, felt a pang of sorrow.

The previous ones all established great religions.

This time, Haotian's intention was also aimed at the sage's responsibility for teaching and guiding.

If one does not establish a great teaching, one has no responsibility to educate and guide others.

Haotian can't possibly target himself, can he?
