Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 21 I'm just informing you!

Upon hearing this, Jieyin persisted, saying, "Haotian!"

Don't push your luck!

If you were to punish my disciples, my Western church and holy religion...

Then what face does my Western religion have to call itself a great religion of saints?

This is absolutely impossible!

Upon hearing this, Haotian said in a deep voice, "The Great Teaching of the Sages?"

Does the teachings of sages grant one the right to do whatever one pleases?

In the primordial world today, only the sages are truly the strongest.

However, this does not mean that the face of a saint is more important than that of all living beings in the primordial world.

My first condition is this, and there is no room for negotiation.

The Holy One's reaction is so strong, could it be that he is already plotting to make Ksitigarbha cause chaos in the underworld in the future?

To avoid future troubles, I think it would be better for Ksitigarbha not to enter the underworld.

If the sage has nothing else to do, then let's leave it at that.

"I still need to perform rituals to help the souls of the dead; I have no time for idle chatter with you, my sage."

After saying this, Haotian made a move to get up and leave.

Seeing this, the guide quickly said, "Wait!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian turned to look at Jieyin and said, "Oh~?"

What else does a sage have to do?

If it's something that puts me in a difficult position, then it's better not to mention it.

After all, the things that are difficult for me are not as simple as you sages think.

You saints either stare at what's in your own bowl or what's in other people's bowls.

But I, the Emperor, must find a way to survive for all living beings in this primordial world.

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Jieyin felt a chill run down his spine.

So, in your eyes, Haotian, I, a dignified saint, am so worthless?

but.

Nowadays, who isn't eyeing their own luck while also looking at the luck of others?

The primordial world can be vast, or it can be incredibly small.

Within a limited space, how can we not keep a close eye on our luck?

Is Haotian in trouble?

Once you sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, you'll have the Dao Ancestor backing you up.

Whether it's difficult or not depends on your mood.

I don't know if you have any difficulties.

I'm finding this pretty tough right now.

never mind!

Why think about these things?

How could Haotian, an ant, possibly understand the difficulties faced by us sages?

It is best to send Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva into the underworld first.

I'll think about it.

Jieyin then said, "Very well!"

"Your first condition is acceptable to our Western Religion."

Upon hearing this, Haotian sat back down and slowly said, "Since the Sage has agreed to this condition, then please instruct your disciples well."

To avoid making excuses and shirking responsibility when things come to a head in the future.

Now let's move on to the second point.

Your Western religion's decision to send Ksitigarbha to the underworld has certainly reminded me of something.

Now, I should send people to manage this vast and desolate land.

Hopefully, when the time comes, the Sage who guides us will not disrupt the normal affairs of Heaven.

As Haotian finished speaking, Jieyin's heart skipped a beat.

broken!

Haotian is going to interfere in the West.

If he were to truly establish a foothold in the West...

Then wouldn't every move of his Western Sect disciples be under Haotian's watchful eye?

I had just set my sights on the Underworld when you, Haotian, immediately set your sights on the West in order to counter my Western Religion.

but!

How can I tolerate someone else snoring beside my bed?

We cannot agree to this.

Then Jieyin said, "The West is managed by our Western Sect, so there's no need for you, Haotian, to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, Haotian raised an eyebrow.

"The West has its own religion to manage things, so I don't need to worry about it."

Does the sage's words imply that the West has already escaped the primordial chaos?

When did this happen?

How could I, the Heavenly Emperor, not know this?

Does the Daoist Ancestor know about this?

As Haotian finished speaking, Jieyin replied calmly, "The West has not escaped the primordial world."

I am simply stating a fact.

With my Western Religion here, the West does not need a Heavenly Court to govern it.

However, Haotian said in a deep voice upon hearing this, "So the West has not yet escaped the primordial chaos."

The Sage who guides us has probably misunderstood something.

I, Haotian!

He is the true Heavenly Emperor of this primordial world!

Since the West has not escaped the primordial chaos, what I just said was to inform you.

Instead of consulting with you!

A sage would be best off understanding the difference between these two.

Otherwise, it's easy for people to misunderstand and think that your Western religion has ulterior motives and wants to replace the Heavenly Court.

Haotian said this, so naturally he wasn't worried about Jieyin turning against him.

Turn your face?

So what if we turn against each other?

Can Western religions replace the Heavenly Court?

It's obvious they don't have that capability yet.

Since the Western religion doesn't have the power, it doesn't matter whether the guide turns against us or not.

There's an old man holding things up there.

In the short term, Jieyin doesn't have the courage to do so.

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Jieyin's expression immediately darkened.

"If that's the case, then why did you inform me?"

You just need to send out the monks.

However, the harsh and desolate West is inevitably home to some powerful demons.

I hope the cultivators you sent from Heaven can gain a foothold in the West.

Haotian clearly heard the threatening meaning in Jieyin's words.

But am I, Haotian, the one who is threatened?

Haotian immediately replied, "I also hope that those cultivators will not encounter any trouble at that time."

Otherwise, it's either the person who made the move or the person who orchestrated it.

I will also classify the faction of the person who instigated this as a demonic entity.

He called upon all cultivators of the primordial world to launch a campaign against them.

Even if I can't figure out who's behind this, there's still the Dao Ancestor.

I believe none of this will be a problem.

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Jieyin immediately lost the desire to reply.

I was just threatening you, and you immediately brought up the Dao Ancestor's endorsement.

Can't we just have some fun anymore?

never mind!

Since threats are ineffective, we might as well just comply for now.

As for whether they will comply in the future, that depends on whether there is a suitable opportunity.

Whenever possible, these nails should be removed.

Then the guide said, "Hmph!"

I understand your reminder.

Are there any other conditions?

If not, then I will need to discuss this with Fellow Daoist Pingxin.

Are there any conditions?

Of course!

The previous two conditions were both based on the interests of the Heavenly Court.

Next, it's time to consider things from my own perspective and try to gain some benefits.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have the opportunity to be brought up here?

But what should we get out of this guy?

Lingbao?

Not suitable!

I wouldn't even look at something that's too low-end.

They won't even provide high-end connections.

Moreover, the fact that he got this opportunity was essentially a freebie.

After all, the Western Sect has planted cultivators in the Underworld.

For Haotian, there was no direct loss.

The one who suffered the most was undoubtedly Empress Pingxin.

After pondering for a moment, Haotian made up his mind.

He then said, "I hope the Sage is truly aware of my meaning."

The next conditions are simple.

Three lotus seeds of the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus and three Bodhi seeds.

Ten pieces of innate spiritual materials.

Is my request too much?

If even this small thing requires haggling, then I must doubt the Emperor's sincerity.

After Haotian finished speaking, Jieyin was too lazy to waste any more words on him.

With a flick of his sleeve, he tossed out what Haotian wanted.

He then ignored Haotian and looked at Consort Pingxin instead.

His appearance made one want to take another look.

All of these are disrespectful to someone who has been repeatedly mistreated.
