CHAPTER 652: CHAPTER 408: THE GREAT MOMENTUM OF THE HEAVENLY DAO (PART 2)

Chaos, Purple Cloud Palace.

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun has always been paying attention to the re-establishment of the Immortal Court, as it concerns whether or not he can gain his freedom.

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun looked into the distance, gazing towards Penglai Immortal Island, seeing Hao Tian at its core.

His entire self was enveloped by layers of laws, causality, and fate, among other things. The entanglement and constraints, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun saw it all clearly.

Likewise, he also saw the colossal opportunity hidden within.

After spending countless years together, he understood Hao Tian’s talent and nature thoroughly.

The possibility of his realization was already quite slim, not to mention the enormous opportunity behind it.

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun merely glanced, then looked away, turning his gaze to the depths of the Heavenly Dao.

Donghuang Taiyi achieved sanctification, causing the Primordial Heavenly Dao to be in the process of perfection, an unexpected joy to Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun.

The re-establishment of the Immortal Court also helped in the perfection of the Heavenly Dao, something in Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s expectation and anticipation.

These two matters perfected the Primordial Heavenly Dao from different aspects.

Even on the calm face of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, a slight smile appeared.

He felt that his ability to harness the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao was steadily declining, yet his autonomy was significantly increasing.

Continuing this way, he might gain freedom even earlier than Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, becoming a primordial being like Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan.

In Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s hand, the cracks on the already shattered Creation Jade Disc deepened, spawning new fissures.

The Innate Treasure appeared so fragile at this moment.

Penglai Immortal Island.

Aside from the Saints, the beings who came to witness now felt a dense pressure emanating from Hao Tian, full of majesty, giving them a strong sense of oppression.

While those beings whose cultivation realm reached Quasi-Saint could discern something was amiss, believing Hao Tian was not as well-off as imagined.

As for the other beings, they could not probe into these laws, causality, fate, and so forth.

They only sensed the majesty of the Immortal Court and Hao Tian, the Immortal Emperor.

Originally, this could leave a deep impression on them, but unfortunately, they had just experienced the baptism of Saintly pressure.

Regarding the pressure of Saints, they had deeper feelings and impressions that were unforgettable.

At this time, the Turquoise Pool looked worriedly at Hao Tian.

They were now too deeply intertwined with the Immortal Court, sharing both glory and loss.

Auspicious energy still filled Penglai Immortal Island, rosy glow illuminated, and the Qilin pranced around.

Yet Hao Tian felt no joy in his heart, burdened by the shackles and tangled causality, his expression gloomy, his mood heavy.

He had oversimplified the matter of becoming an Immortal Emperor, placing too much faith in the depictions within the Spiritual Illusion Realm’s assessment.

At this moment, he even doubted whether, in this true primordial world, he could still, like in the assessment of the Spiritual Illusion Realm, successfully merge the three immortal islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang into one, condensing the Immortal Realm.

The reality of establishing the Immortal Court deviated too much from his imagination, severely shaking his confidence.

Hao Tian’s thoughts and expectations were excessively idealistic, which was very normal.

After all, he had always cultivated beside Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun in the Purple Cloud Palace, experiencing virtually no setbacks.

The greatest setback was merely a bottleneck in cultivation, which didn’t obstruct him for long.

Believing all things would unfold as he envisioned was exceedingly natural.

Of course, encountering setbacks and blows is also normal.

From fervently re-establishing the Immortal Court to feeling extremely heavy-hearted now, not much time had passed.

However, Hao Tian’s gloomy expression quickly faded, replaced by solemn dignity.

He understood that the situation had already occurred and could not be changed; what remained was to handle the present.

Although circumstances had altered, he still needed to continue as initially planned.

He responded to the summoning of various laws, causality, fate, among others, and suspended himself in the center of the grand hall, looking at the Turquoise Pool, with a solemn and dignified expression.

"Turquoise Pool, are you willing to become the Queen Mother of the Immortal Court, managing all female immortals within the Immortal Court?"

"Turquoise Pool is willing. From today, I shall be the Queen Mother of the Immortal Court, managing all female immortals within the Immortal Court!"

The Queen Mother Turquoise Pool agreed without any hesitation, speaking solemnly.

This was something they had planned for over ten thousand years, so it did not surprise Turquoise Pool.

For this matter, she had even traveled multiple times to West Kunlun Mountain to discuss with the Queen Mother of the West.

Turquoise Pool didn’t presume to control all female immortals within the Primordial.

To first manage the female immortals of the Immortal Court was already sufficient.

Suddenly, Turquoise Pool felt her authority, accompanied by various laws of causality and fate.

At this moment, the Queen Mother finally understood Hao Tian’s earlier feelings, she too felt the constraints and the entanglement of causality and fate.

She sensed that she couldn’t leave the Immortal Court, or rather, she was unable to leave Penglai Immortal Island.

As for how slow her cultivation would become, she did not know, only once everything was settled could she experiment.

However, her expression remained unchanged, and even the emotional fluctuation within her was not significant.

Having already made up her mind, with everything planned out, the changes that occurred should be borne.

Swayed by authority and various laws of causality and fate, Turquoise Pool also floated in the center of the grand hall, beside Hao Tian.

After enfeoffing Turquoise Pool, Hao Tian instantly felt the burdens he carried lighten.

Although not by much, Turquoise Pool indeed took on part of it.

He had a realization, if he enfeoffed enough, could he be liberated?

But the issue relating to authority made Hao Tian feel very hesitant.

His indecisiveness paled compared to the straightforward decisiveness of the Queen Mother Turquoise Pool.

Queen Mother?

The attendees instinctively looked at the Female Immortal Leader, the Queen Mother of the West, who was savoring a Flat Peach.

The transfer of authority was a matter between the Queen Mother of the West and Turquoise Pool; other primordial beings did not know.

Even Di Jun curiously glanced at the Queen Mother of the West, wanting to see her reaction.

In the eyes of the Saints, the fortune of the Female Immortal Leader had never truly settled on the Queen Mother of the West.

However, being personally enfeoffed by Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, the Queen Mother of the West did possess certain fortune.

Now, the fortune related to the Female Immortal Leader on her had disappeared, making everyone’s hearts suddenly understand.

Others could not observe this, not because they lacked the means to measure fortune.

But because of the Queen Mother of the West’s status as a Quasi-Saint, they couldn’t observe her fortune without her notice.

Yet seeing her composed expression, continuing to taste the Flat Peach, with no intention to explain, they could only repress their curiosity.

Since arriving at Penglai Immortal Island, the Queen Mother of the West has had low presence among the Quasi-Saints, unconcerned with the happenings within the Immortal Court, desiring only to savor the Flat Peach and await the end.

Except for when Donghuang Taiyi became a Saint, the Queen Mother of the West genuinely did just that.

After eating a 9,000-year-old Flat Peach, she’d eat a 6,000-year-old one, or even a 3,000-year-old peach.

When facing everyone’s gazes, she remained composed and calm, even under the eyes of a Saint, maintaining her demeanor.

After all, she had never provoked a Saint; why should a Saint blame her?

This state of desiring nothing made the Queen Mother of the West appear exceedingly composed, elegant, serene.

Hao Tian and Turquoise Pool ignored the Queen Mother of the West; instead, they were enfeoffing the Immortal Court beings, assigning them positions within the Immortal Court, bestowing authority.

One thing was clear: almost all of these authorities concerned the three islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang.
