In front of the Sanqing Hall, everyone from Kunlun gathered. Even Yao Ji and her sister, whom Taishang had called into seclusion, along with Tai Yi and Chang Xi, who had personal matters, were forcibly awakened by Taishang!
Fusang and Yue Gui, who had not appeared for a long time, also showed up in the Sanqing Hall. The disciples were incredibly surprised, as they had barely seen Fusang and Yue Gui!
Seeing everyone arrive, Taishang immediately spoke, "Today, the Heavenly Court is being established, and we are about to take up our posts. If any of you have thoughts on this, you can come with us to take up your posts in the Heavenly Court!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Taishang in a daze!
"What is the Heavenly Court? Are there any benefits to taking up posts there?"
Seeing their confusion, Taishang explained the Heavenly Court to everyone and elaborated on the benefits of serving there!
The crowd listened, feeling lost in a haze of concepts like "mandate of heaven" and "divine positions and heavenly fortune."
They felt too embarrassed to ask further questions. After all, Taishang, a sage, had already explained one question to them, and they didn't have the audacity to ask for more explanations.
However, their lack of understanding did not mean they were unwilling. On the contrary, since the Six Sages of Kunlun had dispatched one of their avatars, the disciples knew there must be benefits, or they wouldn't have bothered.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches eagerly stepped forward. Dijiang spoke, "My siblings and I have nothing else to do. Why don't we visit the Heavenly Court and see the prosperity of the former Demon Court!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun's face darkened, and he added, "Di Jun and his wife, along with the Ten Golden Crows, are also willing to visit the Heavenly Court!"
Seeing his elder brother and sister-in-law agree, Tai Yi immediately said, "Since Big Brother is going, our family of three will go too!"
The disciples, hearing this, also began to speak one after another, "Disciples are willing to take up posts in the Heavenly Court!"
Even Fusang and Yue Gui, who generally disliked crowds, said, "We are also willing to go!"
Taishang was bewildered by their reactions. He had initially expected few to be willing and needed to persuade them. Seeing this, it seemed less like taking up posts in the Heavenly Court and more like Kunlun was moving!
Taishang pondered. Since the Investiture of the Gods had not yet begun, and everyone was willing, then let them go. The entire Kunlun would go!
Taishang glanced at Bai Yao, who was also joining the excitement. His face darkened, and he immediately said, "Bai Yao, your cultivation is too low, don't go. You'll only embarrass Kunlun."
Hearing this, Bai Yao's face immediately fell, and he said pitifully, "Master, look, all our Kunlun disciples are going, so how will I embarrass them? I don't care, I want to go too!"
Taishang's face darkened further, and he ignored Bai Yao's wailing.
"I forbid you. Let's see how you go!"
Hearing this, Bai Yao looked at Jin Jiao beside him.
Seeing this, Jin Jiao also said, "My Lord, since the young master isn't going, perhaps I should stay and accompany him! I can also take care of the medicinal fields."
Taishang's expression grew even darker. He dismissed it without consideration, "No need. Bai Yao is enough for the medicinal fields."
Taishang had noticed the two were always together, and he suspected they were hiding something from him. Now, it seemed they indeed were.
Seeing that Taishang wouldn't allow him to go with Jin Jiao, nor would he allow Jin Jiao to stay with him, Bai Yao immediately rushed forward and hugged Taishang's leg, wailing, "Master, you won't let me go, and you won't let Jin Jiao accompany me. Then why are you keeping me here? It's so boring!"
Taishang looked at Bai Yao speechlessly. "If you spent half as much effort on cultivation as you do on this, your cultivation wouldn't be so low!"
Bai Yao: ……………
Bai Yao was utterly speechless. No matter the topic, Taishang would always bring it back to his cultivation, using it as an excuse to forbid him from doing this or that.
Taishang ignored Bai Yao's protests, having already made up his mind not to let him go.
Taishang handed the Purple Gold Gourd to Taishang Laojun and then said to Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao:
"Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, you will go to the Heavenly Court with Laojun. When the time is right, I will let you return."
Yin Jiao glanced at Bai Yao, then at Jin Jiao. Jin Jiao glanced at Bai Yao. Only then did the two brothers slowly reply, "Yes."
After instructing Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, Taishang turned to the disciples and said:
"You should all return to your respective residences and make preparations. This journey will likely make it difficult to return for some time. Once you are ready, gather here again, and we will send you to the Heavenly Court!"
With that, the disciples dispersed and returned to their residences to pack.
A few days later, the disciples reassembled in the Sanqing Hall. Led by Laojun, the group headed directly towards the former site of the Demon Court.
At the South Heavenly Gate, Haotian knew that Laojun and his entourage would be arriving today, so he waited there early. Laojun, after all, was an avatar of Taishang, and despite Haotian's displeasure, he dared not be disrespectful.
Furthermore, Haotian knew that Taishang Laojun would be bringing the Kunlun disciples. He wanted to see how many people Kunlun would send, hoping that Taishang and the other five sages' avatars wouldn't be too outlandish.
Haotian watched as Taishang Laojun led a large group of people towards the Heavenly Court, his heart sinking. Looking at the vast throng, Haotian wondered if Taishang intended to move the entire Kunlun to the Heavenly Court.
Yaochi exchanged a look with Haotian, wondering if with this group residing in the Heavenly Court, it would truly be their Heavenly Court or the Sanqing's Heavenly Court. Su Dan Novel Network.
Seeing Haotian's displeased expression, Taishang Laojun spoke softly, "What's wrong? Fellow Daoist Haotian seems rather unhappy?"
Haotian responded with a smile that was neither crying nor laughing.
"Not at all! Not at all! I am very happy! With the addition of the Kunlun disciples, our Heavenly Court is finally taking shape!"
Laojun smiled and said, "In that case, please lead the way, Fellow Daoist."
Haotian's face was extremely grim as he inwardly grumbled, "Quite a few people from Kunlun were originally from the Demon Court, yet you still need me to lead the way. This is utterly excessive!"
Despite his internal complaints, Haotian walked ahead, guiding the group.
Seeing Haotian's insincere demeanor, Yaochi sighed inwardly and murmured, "Establishing this Heavenly Court, is it a blessing or a curse?"
Yaochi suddenly felt that perhaps staying in the Chaos guarding the Zixiao Palace with Haotian wouldn't have been so bad. Why come to the Great Desolation and endure such indignities?
Seeing everyone depart, Yaochi reluctantly followed behind, heading towards the center of the Heavenly Court.
Tai Yi and Di Jun looked at the familiar scenery with a sigh. Fortunately, their temperaments had long since changed from their former selves after years in Kunlun Mountain. Moreover, if the Sanqing hadn't intervened back then, it was uncertain if they and their brothers would have survived.
With that thought, Di Jun and Tai Yi found peace. The group leisurely observed their surroundings as they proceeded directly to the former council hall of the Demon Court.
Haotian watched Di Jun and Tai Yi's expressions throughout the journey and marveled, "As expected of the former Demon Emperor. Truly extraordinary!"
