Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 66 Digging a Hole Along the Way

The matter of him continuing to serve as the Heavenly Emperor was thus settled.

Before Haotian could speak, Zhunti took the initiative to attack.

"Can the Heavenly Emperor now give all living beings an explanation?"

You previously forced cultivators to join the Heavenly Court.

This caused widespread panic among the people of the prehistoric world.

If we act as casually as you do, let alone the other cultivators...

Even we disciples of a great sect cannot withstand your recklessness.

It's not just other cultivators who need results; our great sage sect also needs results.

This time you must give everyone a satisfactory answer.

As soon as Zhunti said this, all the cultivators turned their gazes to Haotian.

We're waiting for Haotian to give us an explanation.

Although the ideas of the quasi-saints differ from those of the saints.

But this did not stop them from hoping that Haotian could give them a result that would satisfy them.

However, Haotian replied to Zhunti's words, "Why doesn't Saint Zhunti understand yet?"

I am the Heavenly Emperor!

How to deal with those cultivators is up to me.

When will it be dealt with?

That depends on when I have free time.

Why does the Sage Zhunti always think of overstepping my authority?

Besides, what do the affairs of those cultivators have to do with you, Sage?

We've already reached a conclusion regarding the matter of the disciples of the Great Teaching.

Now that you're bringing this up again, are you trying to back out?

If that's the case, why did you insist on making me continue to be the Heavenly Emperor just now?

Repent?

Zhunti really wanted to back out.

But can this matter be brought to the forefront?

If it could be made public, why would these saints bother making this trip?

Now that Haotian had directly exposed his thoughts, Zhunti could only offer a weak rebuttal: "I only want an explanation for all living beings in the prehistoric world."

What makes you think I'm going to back out?

snort!"

Seeing Zhunti's expression, Haotian said calmly, "Since the Sage has no intention of going back on his word, then please mind your own business."

Whether it's other living beings or the cultivators of the primordial world.

"I naturally have my own way of handling this, so there's no need for Your Majesty to trouble yourself."

After criticizing Zhunti, Haotian then looked at the hundreds of Quasi-Saints in the hall.

He asked calmly, "Fellow Daoists, what explanation do you want me to give you for making such a commotion?"

Do you want me to abdicate and hand over the throne to you worthy successors?

Or do you intend to let me forgive and forget your past actions?

Let's all speak up!

As Haotian finished speaking, the group of Quasi-Saints hesitated.

Should he abdicate and hand over the reins to a more capable person?

If that were truly possible, Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't have gone to invite you back just now.

Let bygones be bygones?

Should we believe this?

Take a gamble?

As the Quasi-Saints hesitated and pondered, Haotian looked at Shenni and said, "Fellow Daoist Shenni!"

Why don't you tell us?

Who is Shen Ni?

That was a being that had already made a name for itself during the ancient era of ferocious beast calamity.

If you really count it, he became famous half a kalpa earlier than Zu Long and the others.

Back then, he was a very famous person.

Ambitions do exist.

However, this person was simply unlucky.

Or perhaps it was simply a matter of being born at the wrong time.

During that great eon, no one attained enlightenment.

Even Hongjun Daozu and Yangmei Daxian attained enlightenment in the later calamity.

Now, facing Haotian, he knows he may not be a match for him.

But his inherent pride wouldn't allow him to back down.

Shen Ni looked at Hao Tian and calmly replied, "If we can let bygones be bygones, that would be the best."

After all, these rules didn't exist when we created negative karma.

Even if we can't let bygones be bygones, there should at least be a clear standard.

To avoid causing everyone to feel anxious and unable to calmly cultivate themselves.

What does the Heavenly Emperor think?

Haotian laughed upon hearing this, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Shenni also knows that it is impossible to forgive and forget."

Now that I have become the Heavenly Emperor, all the karmic consequences and obstacles of the primordial world will ultimately fall upon me.

exactly!

I have no interest in taking the blame for others.

Now let's talk about what standards to set.

Or, what kind of standard would you like to have?

You all had better think this through before you speak.

If that's unrealistic, then I'll speak.

The result may be unacceptable to you all.

Upon hearing Haotian's words, all the Quasi-Saints felt a chill run down their spines.

They began whispering among themselves and negotiating the established standards.

They saw the quasi-saints discussing matters concerning standards.

Haotian then turned his gaze to the Six Saints.

"Do any of you sages have further guidance?"

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Taishang naturally knew that Haotian wanted to expel people.

After all, in Haotian's view, the remaining matters were his and the group of quasi-saints' business.

But, since we're already here...

And they paid such a heavy price.

If we just slunk away like that...

Those saints truly lost all face and substance.

At the very least, we have to keep at least one thing.

Then Taishang said, "This old Daoist awaits Master's instructions."

Upon hearing this, the Dharma form of Hongjun Daozu slowly spoke, "Then let's wait for all the cultivators to set the standards!"

You saints are perfect witnesses.

To avoid future trouble.

Seeing that the old man's Dharma image said so, Haotian naturally could not forcibly drive him away.

They could only wait for the quasi-saints to reach a conclusion.

Much later.

The assembled sages reached a conclusion after discussion.

Shen Ni spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Haotian!"

We have reached a conclusion through discussion.

Oh~!

What are the standards?

Shen Ni replied, "According to everyone's opinion, we hope that Fellow Daoist Haotian can take the fact that karma cannot form a pillar of smoke and cause and effect cannot exceed 100,000 as the boundary."

What do you think, Fellow Daoist Haotian?

Upon hearing this, Haotian shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it!"

It takes millions of strands of karma to form a column of smoke.

However, how much effort would I need to exert to stabilize this karma?

Why should I bail you out for the sins you have committed?

Aside from causing me trouble, I don't recall ever receiving any favors from you.

Your standards are making things very difficult for me!

Adhere to the principle that if something is difficult, don't do it.

I'll set the standards!

From this day forward, all those whose karma exceeds ten thousand strands and whose cause and effect exceed ten thousand paths...

All of them fall within the scope of the Heavenly Court's punitive expedition!

of course.

It's not that I'm not giving everyone a chance.

A great eon!

I will give you all a thousand years to resolve your problems.

After a great eon, if you are still burdened with karma or entangled in cause and effect...

You all had better pray that I wouldn't suddenly think of you.

and also.

The duration of this kalpa is based on the occurrence of the kalpa.

Therefore, you should think carefully before you act.

We mustn't let the primordial world descend into chaos, ultimately causing the Great Tribulation to occur prematurely.

"If the great calamity occurs ahead of schedule, then you can't blame me."

Haotian had his own purpose in saying this.

It is limited by the number of kalpas, not by time.

The purpose was to dig a hole.

As for who will be buried in the pit?

Then let's see who can bring forward the Great Tribulation.

At that time, such cultivators will have to face the wrath of hundreds of quasi-saints.

This is also why Haotian would give a time limit for a great calamity.

Don't you like to make a ruckus?

Hopefully, after you've finished making a scene, you can withstand the wrath of hundreds of quasi-saints.

I will bear the wrath of hundreds of quasi-saints this time.

It all depends on whether you can handle it.

The hundreds of Quasi-Saints in the hall frowned upon hearing Haotian's words.

You're saying Haotian is deliberately targeting you.

They've given you time to process it first.

It doesn't seem like they weren't being targeted.

A great eon is a long time to eliminate so much karmic cause and effect, so time is very tight.
