CHAPTER 596: CHAPTER 380: IMMORTAL EMPEROR CANDIDATE_2

Emperor Jun, wielding the Heavenly Punishment Authority, could indeed achieve this by embedding the rules he set into the Primordial World with the support of the Heavenly Punishment Authority.

However, Emperor Jun did not act immediately, after all, the Primordial World had not yet reached its limit and it was not necessary to do so at this point.

Moreover, even though he now controlled the Heavenly Punishment Authority, such a matter required careful consideration and handling, and long-term planning.

After all, one careless move could position himself and the entire Heavenly Court against all the life beings of Primordial.

If there were such an opportunity, it goes without saying that other Saints would not mention it, The Three Pure Ones would surely not miss such a chance.

But Emperor Jun also had his own considerations; the moment he sought to claim the Heavenly Punishment Authority, such thoughts had already crossed his mind.

For such matters, Emperor Jun naturally had various speculations.

Regarding the information within the Primordial Spirit, Emperor Jun merely skimmed through it in general before opening his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately looked towards Hong Jun, the Daoist Ancestor, and bowed deeply, saying.

"Thank you, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, for making this possible."

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun nodded towards Emperor Jun.

However, upon hearing these words, the complexions of The Three Pure Ones turned very unsightly.

They were the ones who proposed the establishment of the Immortal Court and then competed with Emperor Jun, eventually achieving what they considered to be victory.

Yet now, while the authority over Primordial proposed by The Three Pure Ones had not fallen into their hands and the Immortal Court had not been established,

Emperor Jun and the Heavenly Court had now secured the right to execute Heavenly Punishment.

Amidst their own propositions and without any personal gain, their opponent had already succeeded.

This made The Three Pure Ones feel even more uncomfortable.

Not only did The Three Pure Ones feel this way, but the other Saints were also quite surprised.

A question arose in their hearts: Is it really settled? Do they truly control the Heavenly Punishment Authority now?

Yet in their sight, the purple light ray that had detached from Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, had entered Emperor Jun’s body.

The fleeting thunder symbol on Emperor Jun’s forehead, none of these could be faked.

Emperor Jun truly had control over the Heavenly Punishment Authority!

Thus thought the gathered Saints.

For a moment, silence fell upon the Purple Cloud Palace, with no one taking the initiative to speak.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Emperor Jun seated himself on a meditation cushion, closed his eyes slightly, and calmly entered a state of cultivation.

After a long while, the voice of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun sounded again.

"Now that the Immortal Court has been established, is there a choice for the Immortal Emperor?"

At that moment, Emperor Jun opened his eyes and looked towards Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun.

Upon hearing the words of his master, Taiching Laozi’s expression changed again.

Given that the Immortal Court had been confirmed, shouldn’t Dong Hua be the natural selection for Immortal Emperor?

After all, East King was the Immortal Emperor of Heavenly Court back then, and now Dong Hua, inheriting East King’s legacy, would be the Immortal Court Emperor, which was very natural.

Under such circumstances, the fact that his master had brought this up made Taiching Laozi feel that the position of Immortal Emperor might not be Dong Hua’s after all.

With this thought, Taiching Laozi directly spoke: "Master, Dong Hua is a fragment of East King’s Primordial Spirit and is rightfully suited to be the Immortal Emperor."

Before Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun could speak, Lady Ping Xin from the Netherworld stood up and said, "No, absolutely not."

"The Dong Hua you speak of should never become the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Court."

Lady Ping Xin’s tone was firm, carrying an air of irrevocability.

Instantly, the gazes of all the Saints present fell upon Lady Ping Xin.

Because of what Taiching Saint had just said, everyone immediately knew Dong Hua’s origin.

It turns out he was transformed from a fragment of East King’s Primordial Spirit, no wonder he looked so similar to East King and bore the same essence, albeit slightly weaker.

For a moment, all the Saints understood Lady Ping Xin’s objection.

The Three Pure Ones, this is truly excessive!

"Daoist Ping Xin..."

Taiching Laozi wanted to explain, but as soon as he began to speak, Emperor Fengdu interrupted the Taiching Saint’s words.

"Taiching Laozi, the Immortal Court was the force that fought against our Witch Clan in the past, and now you are reinterpreting it; my Earthly Hell can barely accept this."

"But this candidate for Immortal Emperor, you actually chose a life incarnated from a strand of East King’s Primordial Spirit?"

"Such a move is undoubtedly like reestablishing the former Immortal Court, and all previous claims were just excuses."

"You are continuously provoking my Netherworld, insulting my Netherworld."

Upon seeing this, Taiching Laozi couldn’t help but continue to explain.

"Although Dong Hua is the incarnation of a strand of East King’s Primordial Spirit, he does not possess any memories of East King."

"When he was born, he was like a blank slate, and he has been cultivating under my guidance ever since."

"Dong Hua is not East King, and I ask Daoist Ping Xin and friends from Feng Du not to misunderstand; I have no intention of insulting the Netherworld."

"Enough, Taiching Laozi, do you really think the Saints of the Netherworld are fools?"

Emperor Fengdu spoke again.

"If you insist on this, perhaps Taiching Daoist friend and I should battle it out within the Chaos."

"If the Taiching Saint wins, Lady Ping Xin and I will agree to this life incarnated from a strand of East King’s Primordial Spirit becoming the Immortal Emperor."

"But if Taiching Daoist friend loses, we will not change your control of the Primordial Continent’s powers, but you must change the name and no longer refer to it as the Immortal Court."

Emperor Fengdu looked at Taiching Laozi, filled with a fighting spirit, and behind him rose the phantom of a city - the phantom of Fengdu Ghost City from the Netherworld.

In this situation, although Lady Ping Xin did not speak, the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate had already appeared in her hands, as if she was ready to fight at any moment.

Faced with this scene, Taiching Laozi’s originally troubled expression could not help but knit his brows once more.

He had not anticipated that the two Saints of the Earthly Hell would be so staunch, even brazen in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Upon reflecting on the origins of the two Saints of the Earthly Hell, Taiching Laozi felt no surprise in his heart.

The birth of the two Saints of the Earthly Hell, all from the Ancestor Witches, known for their hot tempers, such behavior was actually quite normal.

At this time, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s eyes fell on Lady Ping Xin and Emperor Fengdu, then gently waved his Buddha dust, causing the ghostly city phantom behind Emperor Fengdu to disappear.

"Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, no clamor is allowed!"

With these words, the entire Purple Cloud Palace instantly became quiet and no longer spoke.

Even so, the gaze of the two Saints of the Netherworld toward Taiching Laozi still carried full hatred, seemingly unaffected.

After a moment, Taiching Laozi spoke again.

"Letting Dong Hua inherit the Immortal Court directly to become the Immortal Emperor, then residing in Penglai Immortal Island, would maximize the inheritance of the Immortal Court’s destiny."

"This becomes very important for the newly established Immortal Court."

"Therefore, making East King the Immortal Emperor is the best choice."

Taiching Laozi was also unwilling to give in, hoping to persuade them with emotion and reason.

"No way, I can permit the existence of the Immortal Court, but I cannot allow a strand of East King’s Primordial Spirit to become the Immortal Emperor."

Lady Ping Xin said.

Then Emperor Fengdu likewise spoke: "If he weren’t now the disciple of the Taiching Daoist friend, perhaps he would have already died, completely dissipated."

Emperor Fengdu’s tone was extraordinarily cold, devoid of sentiment as he continued.

"If Taiching Daoist friend insists on choosing that strand of East King’s Primordial Spirit to be the Immortal Emperor, then I’m afraid my Netherworld will not cooperate with the Immortal Court."

At this, the facial expression of the Taiching Saint finally changed; if the Netherworld didn’t cooperate, the power over the Primordial Continent might be affected.

He glanced at Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, then looked at Emperor Fengdu to ask.

"Dong Hua is already the most suitable candidate, if not him, then who else should be chosen?"

Emperor Fengdu and Lady Ping Xin exchanged glances but did not speak; neither had any life in mind to choose, as long as it was not Dong Hua.

Under these circumstances, Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"I have thought of a candidate; I wonder what you all think of Hao Tian? Whether he could become the Immortal Emperor?"
