Chapter 594: Chapter 379: Authority in Hand_2

“”But this matter was proposed by Emperor Jun, having learned their lesson from past experiences, it’s natural for them not to dare to speak out in dispute easily.

Moreover, The Three Pure Ones, who are more anxious than them about this, exist as Buddhist Saints, why should they charge into battle for The Three Pure Ones’ sake?

At this time, Lady Ping Xin’s interest is not high, she does not care about Emperor Jun trying to control the Heavenly Punishment Authority.

What she is more concerned about is whether the Immortal Court can be established?

Now that Emperor Jun has withdrawn from the struggle for the Primordial authority and instead wants to obtain the authority of Heavenly Punishment.

This means that there is a very high possibility that the Immortal Court will be established, and she cannot refute what Taiching Laozi once said.

These thoughts make Lady Ping Xin’s interest not high.

At this moment, Emperor Fengdu’s expression is very calm, the various schemes of Emperor Jun have not been concealed from his incarnation, he naturally knows everything that has happened.

At this time, The Three Pure Ones’ expressions turn ugly once again.

Hearing that Emperor Jun has withdrawn from the struggle for power on the Primordial Continent, their hearts are naturally very pleased.

But now that Emperor Jun wants to compete for the authority of Heavenly Punishment, the joy on The Three Pure Ones’ faces disappears instantly.

What’s more important are the words spoken by Emperor Jun, such as being prone to mistakes, lacking experience, and so on.

The Immortal Court has not yet been established, and Emperor Jun has already begun to take steps towards the rights to supervise and even enforce the law within the Immortal Court.

Under such circumstances, The Three Pure Ones’ faces naturally look very unpleasant.

What’s even more crucial is that after Emperor Jun’s words were spoken, the Heavenly Dao and providence of the Primordial World actually really changed.

This event causes The Three Pure Ones to panic, if the Heavenly Court really controls the authority of Heavenly Punishment, the difficulty of their future planning will increase several times.

Thinking of this, Taiching Laozi knows that he absolutely cannot sit idly by.

Since the words of Emperor Jun can cause changes in the providence of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, why can’t he himself invoke changes in the Heavenly Dao’s providence?

Taiching Laozi looked at Emperor Jun, trying hard to maintain a calm expression, and slowly said.

“Emperor Jun, the Heavenly Dao is unfeeling and fair, capable of treating the life forms of the Primordial World impartially, controlling Heavenly Punishment, able to ensure justice without error.”

“However, Emperor Jun, as a life form, has personal biases. If you indeed act on behalf of Heaven to administer punishment, I fear it may not be just.”

Emperor Jun quietly looked at Taiching Laozi, and slowly spoke: “Daoist Taiching speaks reasonably.”

“However, my Heavenly Court has never intervened in the affairs of the Primordial Continent, it does not reside among the life forms of the Primordial Continent.”

“It could be said, we of the Heavenly Court are outsiders, representing Heaven to administer punishment, overseeing the Immortal Court, this could not be more appropriate.”

“And my Heavenly Court controlling the authority of Heavenly Punishment, is to share the worries of the Primordial World.”

“There are countless life forms in the Primordial World, not all life forms that make mistakes will suffer from the Heavenly Punishment.”

“After all, life forms with very low cultivation realms cannot attract the attention of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.”

“My Heavenly Court can make up for this, acting on behalf of heaven to administer punishment, no matter the size, my Heavenly Court can handle it should it harm the Primordial World.”

“But this is Heavenly Punishment; it should be controlled by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.”

Taiching Laozi continued to emphasize.

Emperor Jun still not in a hurry, with a calm expression looked at Taiching Laozi and said.

“Daoist Taiqing need not emphasize this point, I understand this is Heavenly Punishment.”

“However, the authority of the Primordial Continent is authority, the authority of Heavenly Punishment is also authority, why can the authority of the Primordial Continent be controlled by life forms, while the authority of Heavenly Punishment cannot be controlled by life forms?”

“Both are authorities of the Primordial World, is it merely because the responsibilities they entail are different, that such a division exists?”

“This…”

For a moment, Taiching Laozi actually did not know how to refute Emperor Jun’s words.

At this moment, Hong Jun suddenly spoke.

“The authority of the Primordial Continent can be controlled by life forms, so naturally, the authority of Heavenly Punishment can also be controlled by Primordial Beings.”

This was Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s comprehension from the sudden change in the providence that had just occurred, the directive he obtained from the Heavenly Dao.”

This is not Hong Jun acting on his own, but truly an instruction from the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

Under such circumstances, Hong Jun was quite surprised that Daoist Di Jun’s words could incite changes in the Heavenly Dao’s machinations.

Hearing the words of Hong Jun, Taiching Ancestor subconsciously blurted out, “No, the Heavenly Court must not administer Heavenly Punishment on behalf of heaven.”

In that moment, the gaze of all life forms converged upon Taiching Laozi.

Emperor Jun, looking solemnly at Taiching Laozi, said sternly, “Taiching Daoist, why can my Heavenly Court not administer Heavenly Punishment?”

Before Taiching Laozi could explain, Emperor Jun spoke again, “My Heavenly Court is superior in strength, surpassing any force on the Primordial Continent, and holds high prestige. Why can’t it administer Heavenly Punishment?”

“And aside from Hong Jun, who dares claim they can surpass me in strength?”

“Even if the revered ones err, I still have the ability and the power to discipline you.”

“Why can I not administer Heavenly Punishment?”

Emperor Jun’s words made some of the Saints present feel uneasy, but they could not refute him.

Because everything Emperor Jun said was true; indeed, no force could surpass the Heavenly Court, and they truly were no match for Emperor Jun.

In fact, the reason why the Taiching Saint subconsciously opposed Emperor Jun administering Heavenly Punishment became clear in Emperor Jun’s own words.

Emperor Jun was far too domineering. Once he took control of the Heavenly Punishment Authority, they would have no chance to resist.

It would be better to let other life forms or powers take on such a grave responsibility, preferably without the backing of Saints.

This way, they could disregard the being in control of the Heavenly Punishment.

However, once Emperor Jun controlled the Heavenly Punishment Authority, they could not act recklessly and must be cautious not to be caught by Emperor Jun.

At this time, Emperor Jun looked at Taiching again, questioning, “Taiching Daoist, is there really anyone or any force in the Primordial World more suitable than my Heavenly Court or myself to hold the Heavenly Punishment Authority?”

Hearing Emperor Jun’s questioning, Taiching Laozi helplessly shook his head and said,

“Daoist Di Jun is indeed suitable to control the Heavenly Punishment, but you and many beings of the Heavenly Court have your own affairs.”

“In such circumstances, if you also control the Heavenly Punishment Authority, could there be oversights?”

Despite saying this, he knew that the Heavenly Court taking control of the Heavenly Punishment Authority was an inevitable trend.

“At this juncture, Taiching Daoist need not concern himself further; my Heavenly Court can naturally bear the responsibility without any oversights.”

“Rather than worrying about my Heavenly Court, Taiching Daoist might as well worry about the affairs of the Immortal Court.”

“The Immortal Court is newly established, even less experienced, lest there be oversights that would necessitate my Heavenly Court’s intervention.”

Emperor Jun’s words clearly made Taiching Laozi uneasy.

For the matters of the Primordial Continent, although they were grasping control, it was indeed not yet certain.

In contrast, the matters concerning Emperor Jun and the Heavenly Punishment were now almost certainly decided.

Seeing the debate was over and everything settled, Hong Jun finally addressed Emperor Jun, saying, “Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, does your Heavenly Court truly intend to control the Heavenly Punishment Authority?”

Emperor Jun looked at Hong Jun, calmly replying, “Of course; my Heavenly Court will naturally be the one to assume this role.”

Hong Jun nodded, waved his sleeve, and a stream of purple light entered Emperor Jun’s body.

Momentarily, even Emperor Jun’s formidable physique felt a tingling sensation, as if struck by a mighty thunderbolt.

The sensation came quickly and left just as quickly.

At the same time, a vast stream of information poured into Emperor Jun’s mind, and a purple thunderbolt symbol appeared on his forehead.

However, the symbol at the forehead also flickered briefly then vanished.

This was because Emperor Jun could fully assimilate the Heavenly Punishment Authority, controlling the appearance and concealment of the symbol.

If one could not fully control it, the thunderbolt symbol would represent the Heavenly Punishment Authority.

The Heavenly Punishment Authority encompassed more than these, the most important being the spread of laws related to the Heavenly Punishment Authority.

It manifested not just in Emperor Jun himself but also appeared within the Heavenly Realm.
