The Tongtian Sect Leader approached Hu Le with a faint smile on his face and said softly, "This time, I am very grateful for your help, otherwise I am afraid I would not have been able to defeat that Yuanshi scoundrel!"
Hu Le smiled slightly and waved his hand gently, indicating that it was just a small favor.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, suddenly, a lucky cloud drifted in from afar, and standing on the cloud was a beautiful and charming woman, none other than the newly ascended sage Guan Kong.
She descended to earth like a fairy, gracefully parting the chaos and slowly flying to them.
Guan Kong bowed respectfully to the two teachers and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, teachers!"
The two exchanged a glance and both noticed the change in Guan Kong.
They saw that she had successfully cultivated to the state of Hunyuan Wuji and become a true sage and leader.
The Master of Heaven smiled and nodded in satisfaction, praising, "Excellent! From now on, you are one of us!"
However, a sense of emotion welled up deep within him.
Although the disciple performed exceptionally well, which made him very gratified, he was still somewhat disappointed that the disciple was not his own personal disciple.
Hu Le then inquired with concern, "How is the situation regarding the killings in the human realm now?"
Guan Kong smiled and replied, "Reporting to Master, this disciple has already sent the disciples of both sects to the Investiture of the Gods list."
Upon hearing this news, both the Tongtian Sect Leader and Hu Le showed satisfied expressions and nodded in approval.
From then on, Taoism and the Jie Sect were considered to have won a great victory.
This great calamity can be considered to be coming to an end.
Both Buddhism and the two schools of thought have now been destroyed.
Its fate was even more tragic than that of the Jie Sect in the past.
It is foreseeable that from this point forward, the cultivation world of the prehistoric era will likely be dominated by Taoism and the Jie Sect.
Of course, in the future, Laozi and his followers may be able to re-establish a great religion, but restoring it to its former state will probably not be something that can be accomplished in a short time...
The three sages chatted and laughed as they traveled back to the primordial world, traversed the original starry sky, and arrived beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Hu Le suddenly spoke up: "Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you'll have to go through some trouble to make a trip to Tian Ting Yao next."
The Master of the Heavenly Sect immediately understood and nodded.
He knew that although this great calamity had ended, there were still many loose ends to be dealt with.
In particular, the Heavenly Court needs a complete reshuffle and reorganization.
So, the Tongtian Sect Leader bid farewell to Hu Le and Guan Kong and went to the Heavenly Court alone.
Along the way, the Tongtian Sect Leader was lost in thought.
He recalled his experiences during this ordeal and was filled with emotion.
Soon after, he finally arrived at the Heavenly Court and came to the South Heavenly Gate.
When the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gate saw the Tongtian Sect Leader descend, they were terrified and dared not stop him. They knelt on the ground in fear and trembling, not daring to raise their heads, for fear that they might accidentally desecrate the appearance of the saint.
The Tongtian Sect Leader stepped into the South Heavenly Gate, walked slowly through the Heavenly Palace with his hands behind his back.
Along the way, all the gods and immortals who saw him knelt down on both sides of the road in fear and trembling, not daring to breathe loudly.
Before long, the Ziwei Emperor, who was in charge of the Heavenly Court, learned of the arrival of the Tongtian Sect Master.
He dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately went out to greet them personally.
Meanwhile, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already arrived outside Yaochi.
The entire Jade Pool had been completely sealed off, and a hazy celestial light shrouded the sky above. Clearly, the Haotian couple and their family had hidden themselves away, fearing that they would be caught in this calamity due to past karma.
Emperor Ziwei rushed over and bowed to the Tongtian Sect Leader, saying, "Disciple greets the Sect Leader! May the Sect Leader be blessed with ten thousand years of good fortune!"
The Ziwei Emperor was ordered by Hu Le to take charge of the Heavenly Court. Now that the Tongtian Sect Leader had come to him personally, he naturally dared not offend him easily.
The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at the Ziwei Emperor and nodded in a rather amiable manner.
After all, he and Hu Le were allies, so naturally he wouldn't make trouble for Hu Le's men.
"I wonder what instructions the Holy Master has given to us disciples since he has graced the Heavenly Court?" Emperor Ziwei asked respectfully after rising.
The Tongtian Sect Leader did not answer directly, but instead raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the Yaochi Immortal Palace in front of him with a meaningful smile.
Suddenly, he raised his finger and gently tapped it. A dazzling bolt of divine lightning struck down, like a brilliant flash of lightning streaking across the sky, and crashed straight into the hazy immortal light above Yaochi.
A deafening roar followed.
The celestial light that had enveloped the entire Jade Pool shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments that drifted away.
At the same time, the powerful restriction was completely destroyed as the immortal light shattered, revealing the true appearance of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace.
At this moment, Haotian and Yaochi were comprehending the Primordial Chaos in the Yaochi Immortal Palace.
Suddenly, they felt a strong fluctuation and realized that someone had forcibly broken the restrictions they had set up.
So they quickly took flight and arrived above the Jade Pool.
However, when they saw the scene before them, their hearts sank.
They saw the Tongtian Sect Leader standing not far away, watching them with a smile on his face.
His gaze was like two sharp sword beams, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of tension and unease.
Despite their trepidation, Haotian and Yaochi braced themselves and rode on auspicious clouds to meet them.
They cautiously approached.
As the two figures drew closer, the Tongtian Sect Leader sneered inwardly.
He thought to himself, "Haotian, Yaochi, you two little rascals, my former disciples really have to thank you two for taking care of me..."
Thinking about how his disciples had been treated like cattle and horses for years, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt increasingly displeased...
"Greetings, Master!"
The couple bowed respectfully to the Tongtian Sect Leader.
The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly and said in a detached voice, "You need not stand on ceremony. Rise."
Upon hearing this, the two secretly glanced at the expression on the Tongtian Sect Leader's face.
Seeing that the Tongtian Sect Leader's expression was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger, the two felt their hearts sink again.
However, they still stood up straight.
Haotian's mind raced, a sense of foreboding creeping over him, yet he maintained a forced smile and cautiously inquired, "The sect leader is not in the mortal realm to oversee the massacre; what brings you to my wife and me?"
He spoke very politely, but his heart was filled with unease and doubt.
After all, just now, the Tongtian Sect Leader had directly broken the Yaochi's restrictions, clearly indicating that he had ill intentions, and they didn't even dare to mention it.
Seeing this, the Ziwei Emperor shook his head slightly, feeling quite emotional: Alas! Without sainthood, one is ultimately just an ant.
Even the former ruler of the Three Realms, wielding power over all directions, still has to live in such fear and trembling before the Holy Master...
