203: Chapter 203 The Impact of Becoming a Saint

Haotian arrived at the Chaos Sea before returning to Honghuang. He then tore through space and returned to Heaven.

At the very moment he returned to Honghuang,

the Innate Spiritual Qi and Dao rhythm of Heaven suddenly shook, paving the way for the strange phenomenon.

Purple Qi came from the east for thirty thousand miles.

Layers upon layers of auspicious clouds filled every corner of Heaven.

Celestial music played.

Golden lotus flowers sprang from the ground.

Seven-colored auspicious clouds swirled and circled.

The Honghuang world was celebrating the arrival of a new Saint.

At the same time, Haotian released his own vast holy might.

The power spread throughout the entire Honghuang.

Except for the Mortals protected by the Human Race Domain, all creatures in Honghuang, regardless of their strength, felt this power that transcended all living beings.

Across the four seas and eight wildernesses, almost all creatures had their bodies uncontrollably bow toward Heaven.

Brilliance erupted in their eyes, and their hearts were shaken!

They immediately understood the reason.

"A new Saint has been born in Honghuang!!"

"The aura originates from the Thirty-Six Heavens!"

"Has Heavenly Emperor Haotian attained Sainthood?!"

In the entire Honghuang, only Haotian had publicly displayed hongmeng purple qi.

Since the aura also originated from the direction of Mount Buzhou, it was clearly Haotian who had attained Sainthood.

Subsequently, almost all Cultivators below the Hunyuan and Saint level began to congratulate Haotian on attaining Sainthood, following the fixed protocol.

"We congratulate Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor on attaining Sainthood!!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

"..."

The fixed protocol was completed.

...

In the Southern Lands, a group of Southern Quasi-Saints who had been dormant for a long time gathered in the Nine Heavens, their auras surging and their expressions extremely excited.

The Water-attribute Quasi-Saint in a green water Dao robe had slightly trembling hands, his eyes full of long-suppressed ecstasy, and his voice carried irrepressible excitement:

"Your Majesty has returned as a Saint! The end is near! The time for our patience and dormancy has finally arrived!"

Beside him, the elderly Quasi-Saint in a rock-pattern Dao robe had his hair and beard bristling, the gloom in his eyes completely dissipated, replaced by a renewed edge. He nodded heavily, his tone incomparably resolute:

"There is no time to lose! Now that Your Majesty has attained Sainthood, the next step will surely be to rectify the order of Honghuang. We must ascend to Heaven immediately; we must use this opportunity to limit The Two Saints of the West!"

Before the words had even faded, the Southern Quasi-Saints no longer hesitated.

In an instant, in the Southern Lands, the Southern Quasi-Saints displayed their various Divine Abilities and fled toward Heaven.

Some tore through the space of the world and escaped into spatial rifts.

Some Cultivators activated high-speed Divine Abilities, their figures turning into streams of light, speeding through the air.

Others drove Innate Spirit Treasures, traveling millions of miles in an instant.

...

The perspective falls back to the Lingxiao Palace in the Thirty-Six Heavens.

At this moment, Heaven was already a scene of jubilation, with festive and auspicious Dao Qi permeating every immortal palace and star platform.

The Heavenly soldiers and generals stood in formation, their golden armor shining like the sun, dignified and majestic, with irrepressible ecstasy in their eyes.

The celestial gods and the Deities of the Water Department gathered outside the Lingxiao Palace, their robes fluttering and immortal light circulating.

They all wore excited expressions, welcoming the Heavenly Emperor back as a Saint.

At this time, Heaven was hosting a large-scale Peach Banquet specifically for the Heavenly Emperor's attainment of Sainthood.

The fragrance of spiritual fruits permeated the Lingxiao Palace,

and the jade cups were filled with nectar.

At the highest point of the Lingxiao Palace, Haotian sat on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, his once dignified and majestic face now unable to hide the high spirits of one who had attained the Hunyuan Dao.

He held an Innate Spirit Treasure jade cup filled with nectar, the Hunyuan Dao rhythm circulating endlessly around him.

His gaze swept over the Heavenly gods worshipping below, and he laughed loudly, his voice shaking the Nine Heavens:

"Hahaha! My subjects! Today I have attained the Hunyuan Dao, let us celebrate together!"

Below, Venus Star was the first to bow and cup his hands, his voice respectful and loud:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor! You have attained the Hunyuan Dao and ascended to the Saint position!"

The Deities of the Water Department, the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden, and other important officials of Heaven all bowed in unison, raising their cups with both hands, their thunderous congratulations resounding through the Lingxiao Palace:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on attaining Sainthood! Heaven bless Heaven, Heaven bless Honghuang!"

Yaochi and Princess Longji, as Haotian's family, also stood up from their exclusive seats at this moment to congratulate their Dao Companion and father.

However, their congratulations were different from the others.

"Congratulations, you have fulfilled your wish, Haotian."

"Father is indeed the most amazing!"

The endless sounds of congratulations superimposed with the strange phenomena of heaven and earth made the magnificent scene in Heaven even more grand and vast.

However, in stark contrast to the revelry in Heaven and the excitement of the Southern Quasi-Saints,

at the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain, the Bajing Palace on Shouyang Mountain, the Biyou Palace on Jinao Island, the Three Immortals Island, Mount Sumeru, and the Nüwa Palace,

the six Heavenly Dao Saints and Shi Yan all raised their eyes at the same time, their gazes piercing through the sea of clouds, locking tightly onto the direction of Heaven.

...

Shi Yan, who had already entered a semi-retired state after Fuxi attained Sainthood,

at this moment withdrew all his leisure and laziness,

his gentle Dao rhythm completely restrained, and his expression was serious as never before.

He stood quietly beside the Sanguang Holy Water Pool, feeling the aura left behind when Haotian broke through the Honghuang barrier.

Pure Hunyuan Law.

His eyes were full of astonishment and contemplation.

He had thought that Hongjun would at most let Haotian obtain the Saint position of the Heavenly Dao without attaining the Hunyuan Dao, in order to balance the six Saints and the Human Race.

He never expected that Hongjun would have such courage to let a mere attendant boy attain the Hunyuan Dao fruit!

Shi Yan sighed softly, his voice carrying a complex sense of emotion:

"You truly have courage, Hongjun."

"Are you not afraid that the Three Pure Ones will directly rebel?"

At this moment, Fuxi came to Shi Yan's side and asked:

"Heavenly Emperor, should the Human Race change the previously established plan?"

"Not yet. Haotian belongs to the Heavenly Dao camp, but he holds goodwill toward the Human Race."

"Understood."

...

At the same time, the six Saints—Yuanshi Tianzun, Laozi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nüwa—

felt their hearts churning; anger, unwillingness, and grievance were all intertwined, blocking their chests and making it difficult to let go.

The boy who used to serve in Zixiao Palace, serve Hongjun, had low status, and had to bow to them, had today overtaken them and stepped into the Hunyuan Realm.

His cultivation Realm was now above the six of them!

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the auspicious clouds, the Yuqing Qi around him faintly restless, his eyes full of anger, secretly snorting coldly:

"Master, you are truly something! We, your Personal Disciples, have cultivated for endless years and taught all spirits of Honghuang, yet in the end, we are not as good as a mere attendant boy!"

Laozi sat quietly with his eyes lowered, his magic power for Alchemy faintly chaotic, hiding deep wariness beneath his indifferent face,

remaining silent, his heart feeling increasingly unable to see through Hongjun's layout, and increasingly wary.

On the cloud bed, Tongtian suddenly opened his eyes, his aura faintly restless, both angry and sighing:

"Master's actions this time truly infuriate us!!"

"Disciples are actually inferior to an attendant boy; how sad, truly sad..."

On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti, who were still repairing their Saint bodies, instantly became irritable.

Zhunti stared at Heaven, his tone vicious:

"Haotian, I hope you do not fail to appreciate my kindness; we have The Two Saints of the West!"

Jieyin had a sorrowful expression: "The day of the West's rise will have to be delayed again..."

Nüwa sat in Wahuang Heaven, looking at the magnificent scene in Heaven, sighed softly, her eyes full of helplessness and lament.

In the hearts of the six Saints, their respect for the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had once again fallen to the bottom, and their favorability had hit a new historical low.
