Chapter 573 Seeking help from the Dao Ancestor? Summoning all the Sages!
As she spoke, Yaochi turned her gaze and looked directly at Haotian, then said:
"Senior brother."
"Then... what do we do now?"
Upon hearing what Yaochi said, Haotian looked bitter and helpless, shook his head, and indicated that he didn't know either.
He visited all the major sage sects here.
They even went to the realms of the Lich King and the Demon King.
Unfortunately, no one was willing to let their subordinates join their Heavenly Court.
Just then, Yaochi suddenly remembered something, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and she hurriedly said:
"Senior Brother Haotian."
"The Heavenly Court is newly established and its foundation is still shallow, so it is inevitable that people from various sects are unwilling to let their disciples join."
"Senior brother, you might as well seek guidance from the Dao Ancestor."
Upon hearing Yaochi's words, Haotian was startled and muttered in surprise:
"yes!"
"I...how could I have forgotten about the Dao Ancestor?"
"If he were to speak and issue a decree, what difference would it make if he were a saint?"
As he spoke, Haotian turned his gaze and quickly looked towards Yaochi, then said:
"I'm going to Zixiao Palace right now!"
Before the words had even finished, Haotian didn't wait for Yaochi's reply. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for Zixiao Palace.
……
Before long, Haotian arrived at Zixiao Palace.
At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat upright on a futon.
Upon seeing Haotian's arrival, Hongjun narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing intently at Haotian and saying:
"Haotian, what brings you here?"
Haotian bowed to Hongjun, opened his mouth as if he had something difficult to say.
Seeing this, Hongjun smiled faintly and said:
"Is it because of matters concerning the Heavenly Court?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian quickly nodded and then said:
"Master Dao, your disciple is incompetent."
"Since the Heavenly Court reopened, there are still very few people available."
"Previously, I visited various religious sects, hoping they would allow their disciples to enter the Heavenly Court."
"Unfortunately, they all rejected me."
Haotian paused here, his face full of grievance.
Then, he looked at Hongjun with a pleading expression and said again:
"I humbly request that the Dao Ancestor lend me a hand."
"This replenishes the Heavenly Court with new strength, and is also to enable the Heavenly Court to better govern the Three Realms in the future."
After listening to what Haotian said, Hongjun did not rush to give an answer, but instead fell into deep thought.
After a moment of deep thought, Hongjun snapped out of it and muttered something meaningful to himself:
"The Great Cataclysm of Primordial Chaos is coming soon."
"A great calamity?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian was completely taken aback, utterly bewildered by what Hongjun had said.
I can't understand why he came to Zixiao Palace this time.
It was to get Dao Ancestor Hongjun to speak up for the Heavenly Court and persuade those major sects to join the Heavenly Court.
Why is it that Hongjun is bringing up the matter of the Great Tribulation here?
"What does the Dao Ancestor mean?"
"The great calamity of the primordial era is approaching."
"Doesn't this mean that the primordial world is about to fall into turmoil once again?"
Upon thinking of this, Haotian's mind was shaken.
It should be noted that the previous Lich War caused immense suffering and devastation to the primordial world.
During the great battle, Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven, collapsed, causing the waters of the Milky Way to overflow and countless lives to be lost.
Fortunately, Niu Ben intervened in the end, stopping the war between the witch and demon races from continuing.
Subsequently, the sage Nuwa crafted five-colored divine stones to mend the sky.
Niu Ben cut off the four legs of the Xuan Turtle, erected four pillars to the heavens, and integrated the Xuan Turtle's shell into the heavens, thus preventing the collapse of the sky.
After a moment's thought, Haotian quickly came to his senses and looked at Hongjun:
"Lord Dao Ancestor".
"This...this matter of the Great Calamity..."
Before Haotian could finish speaking, Hongjun smiled meaningfully and interrupted him:
"Haotian".
"Please be patient."
"Let's discuss this after I've invited all the celestial saints here!"
Before Haotian could react, Hongjun sent out a divine thought that entered the prehistoric world.
Haotian stood there, stunned, his brows furrowed with confusion and bewilderment.
Thinking about what he was seeking, it seemed that it had nothing to do with the primordial calamity that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had mentioned.
Of course, although he had doubts, Haotian did not dare to ask any further questions.
Since Hongjun told him to be patient, he would wait.
Soon, Hongjun's divine thought reached the ears of the great saints of the primordial world.
"All sages of the heavens, come to Zixiao Palace immediately; there are important matters to discuss."
……
Western religion, Mount Sumeru.
The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, opened their eyes simultaneously, their gazes filled with surprise.
"Senior brother."
"What happened?"
Why did the Daoist Master summon the sages to Zixiao Palace at this time?
Zhunti asked with a look of surprise and doubt.
Jieyin narrowed his eyes slightly, his face showing deep thought, his expression filled with sorrow.
After a moment's thought, he came to his senses, shook his head helplessly, and sighed:
"Ugh!"
"How could you or I possibly fathom a teacher's thoughts?"
"Since you have summoned me, we will see the outcome when we arrive at Zixiao Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Zhunti nodded, and without much thought, he and Jieyin soared into the sky.
……
Beyond the heavens, in the palace of Nuwa.
The sage Nuwa sat serenely on a cloud bed.
"Um?"
Upon receiving the decree from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, she suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes sparkling with extraordinary light.
"Does the teacher summon all the sages of heaven?"
"Is there something important to discuss?"
After a moment's hesitation, a strange light flashed in Nuwa's eyes, and she murmured softly:
"If this has alarmed the teacher, it must be something serious!"
"But I don't know exactly what it is?"
With that, the Sage Nuwa took a deep breath, not daring to delay, and transformed into a beam of colorful light, heading straight for the Purple Cloud Palace.
……
Penglai Fairy Island.
On the main island, the Supreme Sage also received Hongjun's decree.
"The teacher actually summoned all the sages of the heavens to Zixiao Palace at this time?"
"Has something serious happened?"
Thinking of this, the Supreme Sage frowned slightly.
Just then, a ripple appeared in the space in front of him.
Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable appeared.
"Big brother!"
"Our teacher has summoned us to the Purple Cloud Palace!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader exclaimed in surprise.
Before the Supreme Sage could say anything, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable interjected:
"For a teacher to issue a summons, the matter to be discussed must be quite complex."
"Could some upheaval that will affect the very fabric of the primordial world be about to occur?"
The Supreme Lord and Tongtian could not deny what the Primordial Celestial Venerable said.
It should be noted that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not summoned the saints many times before.
Before the great battle with the Devouring Universe Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm, he had summoned all the sages of the heavens to discuss the war.
In addition, when the Heavenly Court reopened and a new Heavenly Emperor was to be established, it also held a summons once.
After a moment of silence, the Supreme Sage let out a long sigh and said calmly:
"Let's not speculate too much."
"When we arrive at Zixiao Palace, our teacher will inform us."
Upon hearing this, Tongtian nodded to Yuanshi Tianzun, then composed himself and set off with Taishang for Zixiao Palace.
