Since Haotian Tongzi had come on the orders of Hongjun Laozu, the divine general naturally dared not neglect him and hurriedly ordered someone to go to Tongming Hall to report to Hu Le.
Upon learning of Haotian's arrival, Hu Le's avatar couldn't help but wonder: Why did Hongjun send a servant boy here?
He was suspicious, but still ordered someone to invite Haotian Tongzi in.
After entering the hall, Haotian bowed to Hu Le behind the jade table.
"Haotian greets the Emperor."
"I heard you came on a royal mission?"
"Yes."
Hu Le nodded slightly and said, "The Sage sent you here to see me. Is there any instruction he has for you?"
Haotian Boy replied, "My lord wishes to invite the Emperor to Zixiao Palace in person to discuss something with you."
"Well, in that case, you go ahead, I'll be right there."
When Hongjun Daoist came to invite him, Hu Le naturally couldn't refuse to see him. He wanted to see what Hongjun Daoist was planning to do.
Upon hearing this, Haotian bowed again, then turned and left.
Hu Le's avatar informed the original body of this matter.
To go to Zixiao Palace, of course, the Venerable One himself needs to make the trip.
Upon learning the news, Hu Le got up, stepped out of the Cosmic Light Map, and flew towards the outer starry sky.
On the way, he silently calculated the cause and effect, but unfortunately, this matter concerned a sage, and he could not calculate it clearly. Perhaps only by seeing Hongjun himself could he find out the truth.
Hu Le entered the chaos, wanting to experience the power of the supreme treasure. He pushed up his hair crown, and a cloud of chaotic and illusory merit appeared above his head, with the illusory energy cascading down like a waterfall.
Hu Le was surrounded by a mysterious aura that separated the chaos, and headed towards the location of Zixiao Palace.
Soon after, he arrived at the Zixiao Palace. After stepping onto the flat ground, he put away the merit cloud. As soon as he arrived in front of the Taoist temple, Haotian and Yaochi came out to greet him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The two bowed and greeted Hu Le.
Hu Le nodded slightly, and then, led by the two boys, entered the hall.
Inside the hall, the futons that once covered the floor had long since disappeared, leaving only the tall cloud platform standing in place.
The hall was empty and desolate, lonely and cold.
Hu Le arrived in front of the Cloud Platform, bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "I humbly request the Sage to appear before me."
Before he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared on the cloud platform, and the Ancestor Hongjun suddenly appeared.
Hongjun the Ancestor raised his hand and pointed, and a futon appeared in front of Hu Le. He said indifferently, "Sit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hu Le gave a loud greeting and sat cross-legged on the prayer mat.
Hongjun the Ancestor didn't beat around the bush with Hu Le and said directly, "I have summoned you here today for matters concerning the Heavenly Court."
"Oh? The Heavenly Court? I wonder what the Sage intends to do? Does he perhaps wish to bring the Heavenly Court under the command of your Xuanmen?" Hu Le laughed.
Hongjun Laozu also laughed, "Although I am a saint, I am not so domineering."
"What does the sage mean?" Hu Le asked, his smile fading.
"My two attendants, one is destined to be an emperor and the other to be an empress. By the will of Heaven, they are destined to sit in the Heavenly Court as emperors and rule the Heavenly Court together with you."
"I have invited you here today so that the two of you may inherit this destiny."
Hu Le frowned upon hearing this. “The sage has given his decree, and I should not disobey. However, although those two are the sage’s attendants, they have not done any good for the beings of the primordial world. How can they be qualified to take on this position?”
"Then what is your opinion?" Hongjun asked calmly.
“I think it’s better to let them go through some tribulations in the primordial world, and after they have accumulated enough merit and good fortune, it’s not too late for them to go to the Heavenly Court to accept their destiny.”
Hongjun Ancestor pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright! What you said makes some sense."
Having said that, he called the two boys from outside the hall to his side, told them Hu Le's suggestion, and asked, "What do you two think?"
"I leave everything to you, sir."
The two boys were quite clever; they knew that with the protection of the Hongjun Ancestor, they would not have any problems even if they were to reincarnate in the prehistoric world and undergo tribulations.
If it were someone else, once they entered the mortal realm to undergo tribulations, they might easily fall into the cycle of suffering and be unable to escape.
Even if the two of them were to fall into calamity, the Ancestor Hongjun could easily rescue them with a little effort.
Therefore, they don't need to hesitate at all, nor do they need to worry about anything unnecessary...
"good!"
Hongjun Patriarch nodded, raised his hand and pointed, and the true spirits of Haotian and Yaochi floated out from the chimney, turning into two balls of spiritual light that hovered in mid-air.
"You two should go and undergo your tribulations. Once the tribulations are complete, come back and regain your physical bodies and magical powers."
Hongjun Patriarch looked up at Hu Le and said, "Next, I would like to trouble you, young friend, to escort them to their reincarnation on my behalf."
"You can rest assured and leave it to me, Your Majesty."
Hu Le smiled and beckoned, and two orbs of spiritual light fell into his hand.
"If the sage has no other instructions, then I will send them off to undergo their tribulations."
"Okay, go ahead."
Hu Le bowed, put the spiritual light into his sleeve, left Zixiao Palace, then crossed the chaos and returned to the prehistoric world, going directly to the Netherworld.
When he arrived at the underworld, the Ten Kings of Hell led their subordinates to quickly come out to greet him.
"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"
The crowd stepped forward to greet them.
Hu Le nodded, not intending to pay them any attention. He waved for them to leave and went straight to the depths of the underworld, where he summoned the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Six dark, swirling vortexes hung high in the sky. He took out two orbs of spiritual light, gazed at the Six Paths of Reincarnation for a while, and finally sent them into the Human Path of Reincarnation.
Originally, if he wanted to do something malicious, he could have simply sent them to the animal realm.
Unfortunately, doing so would not only offend Hongjun Laozu, but also damage their own status.
They're just two boys; they're not worth targeting.
As for the fact that these two are the future Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, what does that matter?
Even if they complete their tribulations in the future, ascend to heaven on clouds, and achieve the merits of emperors and empresses, what difference will it make?
He was also confident that he could easily suppress the two of them.
Moreover, it would probably be countless eons before they could complete their tribulation; perhaps by then he would have already attained the Primordial Chaos Realm...
Just as the two souls were about to fall into the vortex of reincarnation, two phantom figures of children suddenly appeared above them, bowing slightly to Hu Le as a gesture of gratitude.
Then, the phantom image dissipated into the void and disappeared...
Hu Le watched as the two spirits disappeared into the vortex, then began to calculate the secrets of heaven. Without much effort, he had already figured out where the two children had been reincarnated.
He turned and left the Netherworld, returning to the Primordial World. He then rode the clouds to the Yanhuang Tribe, where he stopped his auspicious cloud above a village at the foot of Mount Tai.
He stood on the cloud and looked down, and saw on the edge of the village, in a hunter's house, a young wife was busy in the kitchen.
What mortals cannot see is that wisps of purple energy are gathering towards her lower abdomen, and vaguely, an embryo is taking shape inside her...
