After a moment's consideration, Kunpeng spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Haotian, I am willing to settle this matter with the Hetu and Luoshu."
What do you think?
Upon hearing this, Haotian glanced at Kunpeng.
"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you've gone too far!"
The River Chart and the Luo River Writing?
Isn't that mine?
"You're using my things to negotiate with me?"
Upon first hearing this, Kunpeng didn't quite understand.
He replied, "The Hetu and Luoshu are my spiritual treasures. When did they become yours?"
"Fellow Daoist, what you're saying is a bit out of touch with reality."
Upon hearing Kunpeng's words, Haotian said quietly, "I am not talking nonsense!"
Fellow Daoist, you might want to think about this.
After you perish, will this treasure belong to me?
Upon hearing Haotian's words, Kunpeng's expression immediately changed drastically.
I'm still alive!
You, Haotian, have already taken my inheritance?
But this guy is right.
After his Kunpeng perished, all the spiritual treasures belonged to Haotian.
Thinking of this, Kunpeng felt a sense of dejection.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Then let's hear from you, fellow Daoist, about your terms."
Unexpectedly, Haotian shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken!"
Fellow Daoist, what do you have to exchange? How would I know?
So it's better if you tell me yourself.
That way, we won't make things difficult for you, fellow Daoist.
"Right?"
While saying this, Haotian was thinking to himself.
Hopefully, you'll be sensible enough to know your place.
If you are unwilling to offer your loyalty.
Then I can only organize a ceremony for you and then inherit your estate.
really!
Upon hearing Haotian's words, Kunpeng instantly fell into despair.
His most precious possessions are the Hetu and Luoshu.
However, Haotian already considered this magical treasure as something he could have had.
He roamed the primordial world for over a thousand eons, surviving the Dragon-Han Calamity and enduring the Lich-Demon Calamity.
Am I destined to perish here today?
In his panic, Kunpeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
An idea popped into his head.
and many more!
It seems I can still salvage the situation.
Haotian had clearly already captured me.
If you want to kill me, you can just do it directly. Why bother with this whole thing?
Therefore, Haotian must still have ulterior motives towards me.
The problem is that the spiritual treasures he values most are already considered his for the taking.
What else could he possibly want?
Yingzhao?
wrong!
This guy has his eye on me...
Nonsence!
This guy has his eye on my strength.
Thinking of this, Kunpeng couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"There's hope!"
Then Kunpeng spoke up: "I know that I have heavy karma, and I am willing to serve under the Great Heavenly Venerable."
Always heed the teachings of the Great Celestial Venerable and contribute to the peace of the primordial world.
If the Great Heavenly Venerable does not reject me, this humble Taoist is willing to serve the Great Heavenly Venerable as my master.
Seeing that Kunpeng had finally figured out the situation, Haotian breathed a sigh of relief.
This will significantly increase the strength of the Heavenly Court.
However, this guy doesn't have a good reputation.
Backstab?
That won't do!
We must nip it in the bud.
Thinking of this, Haotian couldn't help but say, "This..."
Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I should have granted your wish.
But you, fellow Daoist...
Whoops!
I'll just be frank.
"Fellow Daoist, your reputation is so widespread that I truly cannot rest easy."
Upon hearing Haotian's words, Kunpeng nearly choked on his breath.
Good guy!
They're already complaining.
Moreover, you exposed my shortcomings to my face.
Are you polite?
But now the situation is beyond his control, and whether or not one is polite or not is not up to Kunpeng to decide.
After struggling internally for a moment, Kunpeng finally understood.
They've already lost all shame, so why bother with anything else?
Saving the bird's life is the priority.
In the end, it was I, Kunpeng, who bore the brunt of it all!
Kunpeng then spoke up, "This humble Taoist is willing to offer a wisp of his primordial spirit."
Haotian shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Back then, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi also had a wisp of your primordial spirit."
Therefore, based solely on this action, I find it difficult to trust you, fellow Daoist.
Why don't you also make a Dao oath, fellow Daoist?
With the oath of the Dao and a wisp of primordial spirit added, there will be no more suspicion between us.
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng immediately closed his eyes.
He sighed after a moment.
That's enough!
As the Great Heavenly Venerable said!
I, Kunpeng, now sincerely submit to the Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian.
If in the future there is any act of defection or rebellious intent.
They will surely be rejected by Heaven and die under divine punishment.
Heaven will bear witness!
After Kunpeng finished making his oath, Haotian had a sudden thought and released Kunpeng from his confinement.
However, Haotian still did not reclaim the domain of laws.
After regaining his freedom, Kunpeng did not even think about running away.
The fact that the domain of laws remained open clearly indicated that Haotian was wary of him.
Let's not even talk about trust or distrust.
How much is this thing worth?
Haotian doesn't even trust the sages, let alone Kunpeng.
As for what Haotian is waiting for?
Kunpeng was naturally well aware of this.
He then separated a wisp of his primordial spirit and respectfully offered it.
"Your Majesty, please accept this wisp of primordial spirit!"
Seeing this, Haotian didn't stand on ceremony. He accepted Kunpeng's wisp of primordial spirit and put it into the Investiture of the Gods.
Then Haotian said, "Now that you have come to the Heavenly Court, I will arrange some things for you."
"Please give your orders, Your Majesty!"
Haotian nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, you should have heard what I and the Sage Nuwa were saying just now."
Those demons burdened with heavy karma, I'm sure you're aware of that, fellow Daoist.
Please, fellow Daoist, bring them all to the Heavenly Court.
Whatever amount you bring, I will arrange for them all to reside in the Heavenly Court.
As for those who didn't bring anything, that means you also think they are not worth cultivating.
After I have consolidated my forces, I will send troops to wipe them out.
"I wonder if you would be willing to take on this task?"
Upon hearing Haotian's request, the Kunpeng Noodles trembled.
This leaves him absolutely no way out!
If he were to accept this task, Kunpeng would sever himself from the demon race.
Even if Kunpeng leaves the Heavenly Court in the future, he can forget about any power accepting him.
At that time, it won't just be the demon race that won't accept him.
Even other cultivators wouldn't associate with him.
He has to bear any risk himself.
of course.
These things were not the most important to him, a quasi-saint.
Reputation, you know.
It's broken, so be it.
I don't care about being isolated.
For cultivators, loneliness is the norm.
Most importantly, this incident will incur the wrath of the sage Nuwa.
Once separated from the Heavenly Court, Kunpeng would have to face the wrath of the sages alone.
Haotian can face a sage directly, but Kunpeng does not have that ability.
But if we refuse Haotian's arrangement now...
What awaits Kunpeng is probably endless trouble.
When the time comes, the task of guarding the gate will probably fall to Kunpeng.
If a dignified Quasi-Saint is to guard the gate, then Kunpeng should really give up on life.
After weighing the options, Kunpeng had no choice but to cup his hands and say, "Yes!"
Your subject obeys the imperial decree!
Offending the sage Nuwa?
There's no time to worry about that anymore.
In any case, this whole affair was orchestrated by the sage Nuwa.
The reason why Kunpeng has fallen to his current state is largely due to her.
Since the sage just now abandoned Kunpeng first.
So now that Kunpeng is following orders, it's nothing special.
After hearing Kunpeng's reply, Haotian nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, fellow Daoist!"
"I await your good news in Heaven!"
"I will certainly not fail in my mission!"
"good!"
After saying this, Haotian turned back to the Heavenly Court on his own.
