Chapter 626: The Awakened Ziwei Emperor
As for Li Changgeng, he escaped the disaster by leaving early and avoided the killing. After avoiding the killing, Li Changgeng practiced peacefully until he met Haotian!
Li Changgeng was just an unknown little-known figure. When he met Haotian, the saintly boy and future Emperor of Heaven, Li Changgeng sensed that his future was in Heaven. It was for this reason that Li Changgeng was willing to return to Heaven with Haotian and prepare to become one of the first elders of Heaven!
Although Haotian was somewhat dissatisfied with his gains, he had no choice but to accept it. After all, it was because he was inferior to others in strength, which made the Heavenly Court less attractive than the Orthodox, Unorthodox, and Western religions!
Haotian originally thought that he was unlucky enough, but who knew that something even more unlucky was about to happen! When there was not much time left before the Peach Feast, Haotian noticed that a large number of great powers from the prehistoric world had arrived on the Thirty-Three Heavens. Haotian was still wondering what was going on, but who knew that the Three Pure Ones had actually opened up another three heavens on top of the Thirty-Three Heavens, pressing down on the Heavenly Court!
Haotian was very dissatisfied with this and thought that the Three Pure Ones were deliberately suppressing the Heavenly Court! Originally, Haotian was going to go to the place where the portrait of the Saint Hongjun was enshrined to complain about the evil deeds of the Three Pure Ones, but who knew that after Haotian's deduction, he finally found that the actions of the Three Pure Ones were actually in accordance with the will of heaven, in order to repay the three pure qi that were wrapped up when the sky was opened!
This result of deduction made Haotian feel very aggrieved, but he could do nothing about it. After all, it was his fault that he was not as strong as others, and the Heaven was not on his side. No matter how angry he was, he could not do anything to the Three Purities!
Haotian originally thought that after the Three Pure Ones had opened up the Three Pure Heavens, all the powerful beings would come to the Heavenly Palace. But who knew that Yuqing and Shangqing were actually preparing to preach to all the powerful beings in the three heavens that had just been opened up!
This action was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the final result of the Peach Banquet naturally changed from what Haotian thought would be a group of powerful people coming to show their support to just two or three big cats and small cats. Although the group of powerful people did not come, they all sent people to deliver their gifts.
Besides, although the Two Saints of the West did not come to Heaven to attend the first Peach Banquet since the creation of the world, they sent Randang and a group of disciples to come to Heaven to eat the lavish feast!
As for the gifts sent by the Two Saints of the West to the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi were almost so angry that they had a cerebral hemorrhage. They felt that the Two Saints of the West did not give any face to them, the two Taoist children who walked out of the Zixiao Palace and the Emperor and Empress of Heaven who were personally appointed by the Saint Hongjun. After all, the gifts sent by the Two Saints of the West this time were much more shabby than the gifts when the Demon Court was established. With such little things, not to mention that Haotian and Yaochi looked down on them, even the human immortals who had just become immortals thought the gifts were too low-level!
Fortunately, Haotian and Yaochi realized that basically no powerful people would come to the first Peach Banquet, so Haotian and Yaochi directly put away the good things they had prepared. In addition, Haotian and Yaochi knew who the Two Saints of the West were, so from the very beginning, the food on the seats of the Western Church was basically good-looking but not useful. Otherwise, judging from the way the Western Church disciples ate, even the Heavenly Court might have shown up. Haotian and Yaochi had not started their business halfway, but their budget was eaten up by the Western Church!
When the first Peach Banquet ended, the Heavenly Court had not recruited any independent cultivators who were willing to join it, and the original plan of Haotian and Yaochi was completely ruined!
Originally, Haotian and Yaochi thought that they had suffered enough hardships, but who knew that the position of Beiji Ziwei Emperor, one of the Four Emperors of Heaven, who had been hidden, was trembling slightly, as if he might escape from Haotian's control at any time!
When Haotian and Yaochi were deducing the reason for the shaking of Ziwei Emperor's status, they heard Ziwei, Wangshu, Youying, Changxi and Xihe swearing: "Heaven is above! I, Ziwei (Wangshu/Youying/Changxi/Xihe), will use the Zhoutian Star Array as the foundation to help Honghuang transform the chaotic energy into innate spiritual energy and help Honghuang develop. I hope Heaven will bear witness to it!"
