149: : Inserted into the Celestial Court
Hong Yun spoke with absolute conviction, his words filled with deep sincerity.
This could be considered a solid testament to the bond between the best friends, Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun.
Zhenyuanzi was willing to protect Hong Yun, and Hong Yun was just as willing to protect Zhenyuanzi.
After Hong Yun obtained the foundation of sainthood, Zhenyuanzi was willing to guard him.
Now that the situation was reversed and Zhenyuanzi knew the opportunity for Proving the Dao, Hong Yun naturally wanted to protect the foundation of his Dao-seeking as well.
"Good, good, good. You Two Fellow Daoists truly are true friends of our Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Since that is the case, I have a difficult task I would like to ask you Two Fellow Daoists to help with.
I wonder if you Two Fellow Daoists would be willing to accept this task."
"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, please give the command. I, Zhenyuanzi, naturally accept the task.
Since it is all for the sake of the Dao path, we should naturally work together with one heart."
Zhenyuanzi immediately agreed; at this moment, he was no longer worried that Taiqing would trick him.
"I am also willing to accept Fellow Daoist Taiqing's task."
Hong Yun was even less worried; his level of trust in Taiqing was already almost the same as Zhenyuanzi's.
"Good. Since it's like this, I will speak plainly.
After Hongjun Proving the Dao, he will inevitably preach to the primordial era to harvest the Luck of all sentient beings of the primordial era.
At that time, Heavenly Dao Hongjun will secretly support a race called the Yao Race to deal with my Wu Clan.
Additionally, he will appoint a head of the male immortals and a head of the female immortals to disrupt the situation in the primordial world and trigger another Great Calamity.
In order to prevent my Wu Clan from directly facing the Yao Race that the Heavenly Dao is secretly supporting,
my Wu Clan has already decided on a path of not contending for hegemony in the primordial world.
The goal of my Wu Clan is to clean up and absorb the endless innate malignant qi of the primordial world.
To stall the Yao Race, I intend to support the Immortal Court established by that head of the male immortals.
The stronger the Immortal Court is, the longer it can stall the Yao Race.
This will also disrupt the plans of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, creating time for the development of my Wu Clan."
Since he was already going to have Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun infiltrate the Immortal Court, there was no longer any need to hide these matters.
Taiqing informed all the powerhouses present of the future development; by knowing the context, they could also be prepared.
"What? Fellow Daoist, you actually already know about the things to come.
You truly are worthy of being a descendant of Great God Pangu."
Upon hearing Taiqing's words, Zhenyuanzi's face was filled with shock as he looked at Taiqing.
This kind of ability to predict the future is something that even a Hun Yuan Heavenly Venerable probably couldn't achieve, right?
"As for this matter of predicting the future, I naturally cannot do it.
However, when I was paying respects to the Father God, it was the Father God who told me these things."
Whenever there was something he couldn't explain clearly, pushing it onto Pangu was the right move.
Deep within the Pangu Hall, the pangu tablet vibrated twice.
"So that's how it is. Since it is the arrangement of Great God Pangu, then I have even less reason to refuse.
Could it be that you mean to say, Fellow Daoist, that the Immortal Court will be established on the Three Immortal Islands?"
Zhenyuanzi also reacted at this time; since Taiqing mentioned the Three Immortal Islands and then the Immortal Court, there was definitely a connection between them.
"Fellow Daoist, you've guessed correctly. This Immortal Court is indeed to be established on Penglai Immortal Island.
At this moment, Penglai Immortal Island has already been refined and claimed by an Innate Deities nurtured on the island.
His name is East King Duke, and he is the one who will be appointed as the head of the male immortals by Hongjun in the future.
This East King Duke has immense ambition and attempts to dominate the primordial world.
After being appointed as the head of the male immortals, he will certainly establish the Immortal Court.
Hongjun is using exactly this point to stir up the situation in the primordial world and trigger the start of the Great Calamity.
If the Yao Race wants to contend for hegemony in the primordial world, this Immortal Court is an obstacle they cannot bypass.
At that time, conflict will surely arise between the Yao Race and the Immortal Court.
I want to use this very point to secretly support the Immortal Court to stall the Demon Race Heavenly Court.
And the task for you Two Fellow Daoists is to join that Immortal Court and become one of its founders.
Make the Immortal Court strong enough to stall the Yao Race."
Taiqing finally revealed his plan.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to us. When the time comes, we will go to Penglai Immortal Island to Cultivate and join the Immortal Court."
Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi immediately beat their chests and agreed.
"Although you Two Fellow Daoists are joining the Immortal Court, you must not personally join the war between the Immortal Court and the Yao Race.
Lest you get caught up in the Great Calamity and find it difficult to extricate yourselves.
Although that East King Duke has ambition, he has great aims but little talent, mediocre ability, and no clear understanding of his own strength.
When the time comes, he will surely overestimate himself and try to rule over the Innate Deities of the primordial world.
In this way, East King Duke is bound to offend the Innate Deities of the primordial world, and the power of the Immortal Court will not be able to develop.
What you Two Fellow Daoists need to do is to win over Innate Deities to join the Immortal Court, strengthening it to counter the Yao Race.
As for other matters, you Two Fellow Daoists need not concern yourselves with them; just focus on using the resources of Penglai Immortal Island to Cultivate."
As for these two great deities, Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun, Taiqing couldn't bear to actually have them do work for the Immortal Court.
If they truly got caught up in the Great Calamity, it would be very difficult to pull them out.
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured. Hong Yun and I will definitely not personally take action or get involved in the war with the Yao Race.
We will only sit in the rear, winning over Innate Deities for the Immortal Court and using the geographical advantages and resources of Penglai Immortal Island to Cultivate."
Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun naturally knew the terror of a Great Calamity; they wouldn't dare get involved in it.
Isn't it just winning over Innate Deities to join the Immortal Court? Hong Yun was an expert at that.
Now was the time to put Hong Yun's extraordinary social skills to use.
"I told you my abilities were useful! Some beings even called me, Hong Yun, an indiscriminate do-gooder.
This time, watch me, Hong Yun, bring as many Innate Deities as possible into the Immortal Court."
Hong Yun, this indiscriminate do-gooder of the primordial world, began to develop in the direction of Shen Gongbao.
One wondered if Hong Yun would truly develop into someone like Shen Gongbao.
A single phrase, 'Fellow Daoist, please stay,' could lead countless immortals into the Calamity, reaching the level where his words carried the weight of law.
Taiqing felt that the image was a bit terrifying just thinking about it and couldn't help but shudder.
"Terrifying, truly terrifying to such an extent.
It turns out that when a primordial indiscriminate do-gooder performs well, it's a completely different scene.
I wonder how those Innate Deities pulled into the Immortal Court by Hong Yun will evaluate him in the future."
Taiqing then thought of another important matter and hurriedly spoke to remind Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi.
"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, before long, Hongjun will achieve the status of Heavenly Dao Saint.
When that time comes, he will surely announce it to the primordial world and preach to the all sentient beings of the primordial era at Zixiao Palace.
You Two Fellow Daoists must absolutely not go to listen to the lecture.
If you really go to listen, more than half of your Luck will be harvested by Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
You Two Fellow Daoists have already clarified your future paths; just Cultivate accordingly. There is no need to go listen to the lecture at all.
Moreover, that lecture by Hongjun at Zixiao Palace is a massive conspiracy and a huge trap."
Fearing that Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi might go to listen to Hongjun's lecture with the idea of increasing their knowledge and broadening their horizons,
Taiqing made a special point to entrust these two with this warning.
After all, Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi were not like the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings, who preached to living beings to harvest their Luck and obtain Karma.
If they didn't take it seriously enough, they might really go to see what Hongjun's preaching was all about.
"Since you have already said so, Fellow Daoist, then we simply won't go to listen to Old Ancestor Hongjun's lecture.
I wonder what kind of huge trap is involved in Old Ancestor Hongjun's preaching?"
