Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 58 Under the Heavenly Dao, even saints are but ants!

We entered the main hall of Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi invited Yuanshi Tianzun to take a seat.

After serving the tea, Zhen Yuanzi said, "A sage is a rare guest!"

"I wonder what brings the Sage here to instruct me?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun replied, "That Haotian is reckless and unworthy of the position of Heavenly Emperor."

I had already asked him to abdicate.

The reason I have come here is to invite you, fellow Daoist, to go to the Heavenly Court and assume the position of Heavenly Emperor.

What is Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi's opinion?

Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Zhen Yuanzi's heart skipped a beat.

What do you think?

I'm so damn grateful to you!

What is the Heavenly Emperor's position?

Is that seat so easy to sit in?

The Eastern King, personally appointed by the former Dao Ancestor, perished in the ensuing power struggle.

Later, Di Jun and Tai Yi perished in the Great Calamity.

Now, next year, even the Heavenly Emperor will be forced to abdicate by you saints.

Can this humble Taoist priest hold onto that position?

You're not recommending the Heavenly Emperor, you're clearly looking for a puppet.

Isn't it nice for me to stay in Wuzhuang Temple?

Why must I become that puppet?

To be a puppet?

Are puppets so easy to make?

Haotian may be even more ruthless than ruthless.

However, he did say one thing correctly.

The six realms of the primordial universe all rest on the shoulders of the Heavenly Emperor.

The sage appears to act on behalf of Heaven.

Ultimately, their role is merely to educate and enlighten the masses.

The only thing that could maintain stability and order in the primordial world was the Heavenly Emperor.

If we're really going to become puppets, then Di Jun and Tai Yi are the examples.

One day, they will perish under the entanglement of cause and effect.

I!

Zhen Yuanzi!

The ancestor of all earth immortals, appointed by the Dao Ancestor!

Would you go and wade into that muddy water?

Heavenly Emperor?

I wouldn't even be a dog!

But how to refuse Yuanshi Tianzun became the problem at hand.

Disrespecting Yuanshi Tianzun can have serious consequences.

After a moment's consideration.

Zhen Yuanzi replied, "The sage flatters me!"

I know my own limitations.

In terms of cultivation level, he was separated from the Earth Vein Array.

I am nothing.

As for strategy, there are countless people in the primordial world who are better than me.

Therefore, this humble Taoist can only thank the Sage for his undeserved favor.

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's refusal, Yuanshi Tianzun's mood sombered slightly.

I kindly invited you to take a higher position, and you actually refused?

However, considering the consequences of not selecting a candidate, Yuanshi Tianzun remained patient.

He continued to persuade him: "Fellow Daoist!"

The imperial position is not just about cultivation and wisdom.

The key is still one's mindset!

Haotian's strength is indeed formidable.

But what he did was truly unpopular!

They forced all the cultivators of the primordial world to go to the Heavenly Court to demand an explanation.

What virtuous cultivator could have done such a thing?

"Judging from your virtue, fellow Daoist, you are perfectly suited for the position of Heavenly Emperor..."

Yuanshi Tianzun was at Wuzhuang Temple, trying to persuade Zhen Yuanzi.

And at the South Heavenly Gate.

Haotian waited for a while, and finally the cultivators arrived with their army.

He glanced at the large army under his command.

Haotian nodded in satisfaction.

These hundreds of thousands, nearly ten million cultivators, are one of Haotian's trump cards.

I, Haotian, want to see if you don't have any power under your command.

Who can secure the throne that day?

After surveying the area, Haotian announced loudly, "Destination: Purple Mansion Prefecture, let's go!"

The words were spoken.

Haotian then led the way, leading the army towards Zifu Prefecture.

Not long after they had gone on, Yaochi, who was standing nearby, said to Haotian, "Haotian."

Are we really okay leaving like this?

Haotian pondered for a moment upon hearing this and replied, "It's alright!"

Since the teacher didn't come forward, it means they tacitly agreed to the matter.

As long as the teacher allows it, nothing else matters.

"But we just left like that."

What if those saints cause us trouble later?

We really offended them before.

Haotian smiled faintly upon hearing this: "I have my own considerations for this matter."

Since I was able to intimidate the Supreme Lord in the Lingxiao Palace before.

After that, I'll have a way to make them wary.

You need to understand, even if we lose our jobs...

But we still have great merit to rely on.

Based on this alone, the sage would not dare to act rashly against us.

They're really pushing me to the brink.

I'll give him a self-destruction when the time comes.

All the merits I have accumulated, plus the karma of destroying the primordial world.

Even if he were a saint, he would hardly have a chance to escape.

Sages do not die because the Way of Heaven exists.

But what if they are rejected by the Heavenly Way?

Even sages are in danger of falling when the five signs of decay appear.

Can a saint who has been rejected by Heaven still be considered a saint?

At that time, they will be no different from ordinary cultivators.

It's just that their cultivation level is a little higher.

So what if one's cultivation level is a little higher?

Before the laws of Heaven, they are still ants.

It is said that all people below a sage are like ants.

Under the Way of Heaven, are sages no different?

Otherwise, why would those sages be so wary of their teachers?

Do you really think they respect teachers and value tradition?

It's all about strength.

Hearing Haotian's reply, Yaochi finally felt much more at ease.

As long as things are stable, I don't care about job position or anything like that.

It's really dispensable.

Without the constraints of a job position, life can be more comfortable.

At least we don't have to worry about the pressure of being a saint.

After a moment of contemplation, Yaochi asked again, "Then how will we train the cultivators under our command in the future?"

That's nearly ten million people!

The amount of innate spiritual energy consumed alone is not small.

The amount of innate spiritual energy consumed alone is not small.

If other cultivation resources are involved, the amount would be enormous.

Hearing Yaochi's concerns, Haotian calmly replied, "This matter is simple."

Now that I have devised a way to improve the North, I can naturally devise other ways to increase the innate spiritual energy of Zifu Prefecture.

However, this matter will take some time.

We'll talk about it after we arrive in Zifu Prefecture and settle in properly.

It's because of you that you lost your job.

Without the blessing of great fortune, cultivation will likely become much more difficult.

Upon hearing this, Yaochi immediately replied, "What do you mean by rank or position?"

I've finally seen things clearly.

Only merit and self-cultivation can truly sustain one's life.

All other statuses and identities are merely illusions.

When it comes to a real fight, no one cares about your status or position.

As for luck?

That thing is just icing on the cake.

It would be best to have it, but it's not a big deal if you don't.

On the contrary, by leaving one's position, one can find peace and quiet.

After eliminating many trivial matters, I actually have more time for spiritual practice.

What about you?

How could you have really resigned from your job?

"No regrets later?"

Upon hearing this, Haotian slightly raised his head and looked ahead.

All I could see were white clouds.

After a moment of contemplation, Haotian finally spoke, "Just as you said."

So-called positions and ranks are nothing but fleeting changes.

Sitting in that position means being constantly scheming against each other.

They also had to worry about the karmic entanglements of the primordial Heavenly Dao.

Once the next successor appears, they'll know how difficult that position is.

If it weren't for the teacher's recommendation, I wouldn't have taken that seat.

Why not just stay in Zixiao Palace?

Not only is it rich in spiritual energy, but it also offers great freedom.

I can also get guidance from the teacher from time to time.

Now, we can't even go back to Zixiao Palace.

Fortunately, the teacher gave me the Chaos Bell, which somewhat made up for the loss.

Otherwise, we would really suffer a huge loss.
