"Your Majesty, please calm down. How dare this humble official harm you and bend the law for personal gain? The establishment of this oath has nothing to do with me at all!" The director of the Oath Department immediately denied all responsibility, fearing that he would be entangled by this terrible old man.
The Three Pure Ones in Heaven were all old men who were not easy to mess with. One was cold-hearted, one was extremely petty, and one was extremely protective of his shortcomings. How could he, a mere Director of the Oath Department, dare to offend these great Buddhas? Even if the person who wanted the elixir today was the Emperor of Heaven, he would not dare to show favoritism like this.
"It has nothing to do with you? If I, an old man, believed in you, a sow could fly and become a god!"
"..." The head of the Oath Department, sweating profusely, swore, "Heavenly Lord, what this humble servant says is true. You know that the Oath Department always issues oaths to heaven and earth, and these oaths have two conditions: first, both parties must be supreme gods. Second, an oath between two supreme gods involves life and death."
"Yes, then how can the casual words spoken by that brat Xiao Xuanxuan just now constitute the oath of heaven and earth?" Taishang Laojun jumped up and down.
The Director of the Oath Department looked at Taishang Laojun with resentment and answered honestly, "First, you were pretending to be unconscious just now. When your child and the young master were swearing an oath, you were watching from the side and didn't say anything to stop them. Therefore, your child's words are equivalent to your words. You and the young master are both gods, so..."
Seeing the increasingly dark face of Taishang Laojun, the Director of the Oath Department could not continue. If he continued, it would be fatal!
"What about the second one? How is the second one satisfied?"
"Ahem..." The Director of the Oath Department coughed for a long time, not daring to speak. Damn, the first sentence already made him so angry, and if he said the second sentence, his Oath Department would probably be wiped out.
"Speak!" Taishang Laojun's eyes bulged, frightening the Director of the Oath Department and quickly saying:
"Because you, Laojun, are known for being stingy. Normally, other immortals would be half dead if they asked for one of your pills, but the young master is asking for a million pills. Wouldn't that also cost you your life? You yourself said before that the young master was willing to kill you. This, this, this...
Your oath not only meets the requirements of the two Supreme Gods, but also involves the life of one of them, so of course the oath is valid!"
After saying this, before the Taishang Laojun erupted, the Director of the Oath Department had already disappeared into the sky with his subordinates, and there was no trace of them. Only a voice came from a distant place -
"Heavenly Lord, this is what happened. I'm here to explain this matter to make it clear that it has nothing to do with me. Please don't blame me, and please don't break your oath, or you'll suffer a thunderstorm!"
In the Heavenly Palace, any immortal who violated the rules of Heaven would be struck by thunder. The thunder was automatically adjusted to the immortal's physical condition, increasing in strength when facing a strong individual and decreasing in strength when facing a weak one. Although Taishang Laojun was a sage of the Three Pure Ones, if he stood on the thunder tribulation platform, the thunder would surely pound him half to death.
Looking at the trace left by the Director of the Oath Department in the clouds after he flew away, Taishang Laojun's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"Grandpa Laojun, don't be too sad. I was just saying one million pills. I don't necessarily need you to give me one million pills. I'll take as many as you have in your Tushita Palace. If you run out, you can always refine more yourself."
