Chapter 259 The Solution
After a short wait, a group of people carrying boxes filed in, and the two people at the head were familiar to everyone present.
Bai Ze exuded a warm and gentle aura that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze. Chang Xi was dressed in white as snow, and she was even more beautiful than snow. At this moment, her face was frosty, with ice and snow as her soul and the moon as her spirit. She truly deserved to be the number one beauty in the Three Realms.
"Bai Ze..."
"Changxi..."
"Greetings to the Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure..." Bai Ze and Chang Xi bowed in unison, and the fairy maidens behind them also bowed gracefully.
"No need for formalities..." Laozi said guiltily, "May I ask what brings you two here?" He still didn't know if Chang Hao had come to interrogate him, or...
"Please forgive me, Venerable Morality, but His Majesty was overjoyed to hear that Venerable Lingbao had accepted nine princes of the Heavenly Court as his disciples. He specially ordered us to deliver the princes' travel gear." Bai Ze said with a smile.
Chang Xi gave Si Rong a wink, and Si Rong understood. She immediately opened everything that had been brought up: piles of hibiscus fruits, a nest made of hibiscus trees, the Three Lights Divine Water to drink every day... There were also little fairy robes and cloud boots after the transformation, and even the calming jade comb for grooming had a number. Every aspect of clothing, food, housing and transportation had been taken care of...
Xuan Du gasped. Forgive him, in Kunlun, a place that values rigorous cultivation, when had he ever seen such a spectacle? These nine junior brothers not only looked dazzlingly golden, but their wealth was also extremely impressive.
For a moment, Xuandu's gaze towards his third uncle changed. No wonder he was willing to take a beating to accept a disciple; was this a disciple? No, he was a treasure trove.
"His Majesty said that supplies will be sent to Kunlun frequently in the future. May I ask where the princes reside? After we help the princes make arrangements, we can return to the Heavenly Court to report back," Bai Ze added.
“Zhen Yuanzi…” Yun Zhongzi looked at Zhen Yuanzi with longing in his eyes. He also wanted to cultivate in seclusion in Kunlun. Did he have one?
Zhen Yuanzi turned his head away immediately and said, "Don't bother looking. There's nothing here. As for the Three Lights Divine Water, the ones Zhen Yuanzi had were all squandered by Hongyun long ago. Now, there's nowhere to find Three Lights Divine Water in the prehistoric world."
Tongtian leaned closer to Laozi and said, "Brother, I feel a chill down my spine. Doesn't this look like what Chang Hao said about 'courtesy first, then force'?"
They're up to no good; I'd rather get a beating.
"Serves you right..." Laozi exhaled, then turned to Bai Ze and Chang Xi, "I wonder if the Heavenly Emperor asked you to deliver a message?"
Seeing this setup, Laozi felt a chill for Tongtian. With these cultivation resources, they could easily create a quasi-saint. What if he didn't teach them properly...?
That said, I honestly have no idea what Tongtian taught his disciples...
"His Majesty has asked me to bring a jade slip to Lingbao Tianzun," Changxi said. Si Rong stepped forward with a tray on which was the jade slip Changxi had mentioned. "This is the method for the Golden Crow to achieve sainthood in the physical body. His Majesty said he hopes you will bring him nine dignified and powerful beings."
'哐珰……'镇元子手里的茶盏应声落地，满室针落可闻，瞧瞧，挨一顿揍真不叫整治，而是老子对通天的爱护。
Tongtian was dumbfounded. Faced with the jade slip presented to him, he couldn't reach out for a long time.
Far away in Zixiao Palace, Chang Hao leisurely picked up a black chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, rested his chin on his hand, and tapped the chessboard, "Hongjun, it's your turn."
Thinking that the goods should be delivered to Kunlun Mountain by now, Chang Hao sneered inwardly, realizing that his advantage was not so easy to take.
Tongtian loves taking on disciples, right? Let him take as many as he wants. Hopefully, he'll repent and never want to take on any more of these bratty kids as disciples again. Does he really think his nine older brothers are well-behaved children? Between a bratty kid and a bratty master, who's the better one?
To prevent the bond between brothers from weakening, and to make up for the regret that the brothers could not grow up together, they should often travel to Kunlun in the form of the Golden Crow to cultivate their tacit understanding.
"Let me think about it..." Hongjun looked at the chessboard. This thing was quite good for passing the time. He slowly placed the white pieces in a corner. "You've been going to Zixiao Palace more often these past two days. Have you sorted out the mess in Heaven?"
"It's all settled. The people under my command are quite obedient and easy to manage, so you can rest assured." Chang Hao casually blocked Hongjun's retreat. His brothers had let Tongtian take over, and those political affairs remained unchanged for millennia. Chang Hao was free every day now.
"That's good. I noticed you haven't used the Investiture of the Gods much. If your subordinates are disobedient, don't hesitate to put them on the list." Hongjun secretly picked up a black piece and replaced a white one when Chang Hao wasn't paying attention.
Well, Tongtian is still somewhat useful. He took over those few brats, and Hongjun reluctantly removed Tongtian from the blacklist.
"The Heavenly Way is incomplete, so there should be living beings who walk the divine path. Important divine positions should not be appointed indiscriminately. For example, the Four Emperors. If you want to firmly control the Heavenly Court, you should not appoint disciples of saints or quasi-saints and great powers to these positions. Just find a few puppets."
"The Heavenly Dao is incomplete, and calamities occur frequently. Is there any way to resolve this?" Chang Hao, now holding an important position, naturally saw through the power of the Heavenly Dao that the calamities of the Primordial World were coming one after another. "If another calamity comes, it will be difficult for the Primordial World to become an eternal world."
The next step is the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, which concerns everyone he cares about, so Chang Hao naturally paid close attention early on.
Hongjun glanced deeply at Chang Hao. There were naturally many solutions, the simplest of which was to find a glimmer of hope and merge with the Dao. Unfortunately, he couldn't bear to do so.
The Heavenly Dao: "..." Ever since Chang Hao took over the Heavenly Court and colluded with Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao has been suppressed by Hongjun. All Heavenly Laws and Rules are now decided by Hongjun.
The Heavenly Dao felt that it had been blind to its own judgment, having chosen Hongjun after countless trials. There was clearly a glimmer of hope right in front of it, so why was it reluctant to let him go? What was there to be reluctant about in merging with him?
"You'd better work hard. Once you attain the supreme Dao, you'll naturally know how to help the Primordial World become an eternal world. Don't worry, given the current state of the Primordial World, it can easily withstand a few more eons." Hongjun reassured Chang Hao.
In this cycle, Hongjun did not secretly manipulate things, and the prehistoric world is still in a virtuous cycle overall.
"Of course, I will try my best." Chang Hao casually placed a piece, then suddenly realized something was wrong with the board. "Hongjun, did you hide my piece? Where is the black piece that was just here?"
Although he didn't use his brain to play, he remembered that he seemed to have placed a piece here.
"There are black pieces? I didn't notice..." Hongjun pretended to be stupid. If he didn't steal pieces, he would lose too badly. That wouldn't do. How could he establish an image of being omnipotent in the future?
"I have cast the divination for you several times to determine your chance to become a saint. It should happen in the next great calamity. If you succeed, the primordial world will be eternal; if you fail, the primordial world will be destroyed. You bear a heavy responsibility and cannot be negligent." Hongjun quickly changed the subject. He would calculate it carefully again and do everything in his power to help Chang Hao become a saint.
