Chapter 286 Haotian Desires to Transform the Tribulation, and Claims Supreme Status in the Three Rea
"Such great kindness!"
The Jade Emperor nodded, and said with satisfaction.
"Once this matter is resolved!"
"I would trouble you to make a trip to the Immortal Realm!"
"For this grand Peach Banquet, we must invite disciples from all three religions to attend, so that they may be aware of the Heavenly Court's true strength!"
The Jade Emperor then gave instructions to Venus.
Previously, the disciples of the three religions, relying on the support of a sage, did not take the Primordial Heavenly Court seriously at all!
Because the disciples of the three religions disregarded the Heavenly Court and slighted the Jade Emperor, Heaven was moved and thus sent down the calamity of killing the immortals.
Now that the Investiture of the Gods has come to an end, Haotian has become the biggest winner and it is only right that he unleashes this thunderous power.
Firstly, it's to deter other forces!
Secondly, it was to win over followers of the three religions!
This is a win-win situation, no wonder Haotian values this Peach Banquet so much!
"My poor Yunhua sister!"
"She could have achieved great success, but she was betrayed by others, damaging her innate foundation and preventing her from attaining the Great Dao!"
The Jade Emperor was originally a primordial stone, and the Fairy Yunhua also took human form along with him.
Fairy Yunhua took human form relatively late, so she recognized Haotian as her elder brother. Before the Investiture of the Gods, the Six Sages attained enlightenment and left behind many lineages in the prehistoric world, taking in a large number of disciples.
These disciples were all personally instructed by the sage.
Relying on their sect's background, they completely disregarded the Heavenly Court, repeatedly provoking its authority and even committing numerous evil deeds!
The disciples of the Jie Sect are a classic example!
The disciples of the Jie Sect were a mixed bag, and they were fond of practicing evil methods, committing numerous crimes in the prehistoric world!
The bald monks of Western religions were not to be outdone.
Before the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, there was an Arhat reincarnated in the Western Sect who, upon descending to the mortal realm, was tempted by worldly desires!
He actually set his sights on Yunhua!
The fairy Yunhua, detached from worldly affairs, was unaware of the dangers of the human world. She secretly married a mortal and gave birth to three sons.
Yunhua was tricked by the Buddhist sect, which caused a loss of fortune for the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor learned of this!
The laws of Heaven are merciless, and the provisions of the law are strict!
The Jade Emperor's majesty was damaged and his fortune was diminished. In a fit of anger, he threw out the nine-thousand-year-old peaches, which transformed into Peach Mountain to suppress Yunhua and drew down the Heavenly Laws to serve as a seal.
Yunhua gave birth to three sons, and her own fortune dissipated, but her innate essence was inherited by her three sons!
The eldest son, Yang Jiao, followed Yang Tianyou in converting to Buddhism and became a Dharma protector and a Vajra Arhat.
The second son, Yang Jian, joined the Chan Sect, cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, and possessed seventy-two transformations, thus achieving physical sainthood!
The youngest daughter, Yang Chan, entered the Nuwa Palace and took charge of the Lotus Lantern. Now she has become a righteous god in the Heavenly Court.
After Yang Jian achieved mastery of his cultivation, he obtained the Mountain-Splitting Axe of King Yu, split open Peach Mountain, and rescued Yunhua.
This is Yang Jian splitting the mountain to save his mother!
Yang Jian split open Peach Mountain, suffered the backlash of heavenly laws, and ate many bitter fruits, but gained a great reputation for filial piety!
After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian achieved perfect merit.
He was granted the title of Emperor Gouchen of the Upper Palace, in charge of military affairs, dedicated to slaying demons and monsters, and carrying out major military campaigns.
The primordial chaos shattered, and the six realms were divided!
The Dao Ancestor Hongjun issued a decree that sages were not allowed to descend to the mortal realm, and also ordered the Jade Emperor to rule over the three realms of the primordial world.
The Heavenly Court's fortunes soared, and the divine path flourished from that point on!
As the saying goes, if one's virtue is not commensurate with one's position, disaster will surely follow. The Jade Emperor is a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses, but has not yet attained the Primordial Dao Fruit. Now he rules over the Three Realms and is the Supreme Being of the Three Realms!
Such a position in the celestial realm is surely not ordinary.
Therefore, the Taoist Ancestor issued a decree that the Jade Emperor should be reincarnated to undergo tribulations, and could regain his throne after completing his merits.
This tribulation will last for 1,750 kalpas, with each kalpa lasting 129,600 years.
In this world of countless grains of sand, there are countless sentient beings!
The Jade Emperor will reincarnate in countless worlds, and will only return after his merits are fulfilled.
"After this Peach Banquet, I will reincarnate and undergo tribulations with the Queen Mother. Only after we have achieved perfect success will I be able to rule the Three Realms and become the Great Celestial Venerable of the Three Realms!"
"Therefore, after you descend to the mortal realm, you must invite all the immortals from the celestial realm below, without forgetting a single one!"
"This matter is of utmost importance and cannot be mistaken!"
As he was about to depart, Haotian spoke again.
The Heavenly Peach Banquet is divided into three levels: high, medium, and low, with vastly different types of peaches provided.
The highest grade is the 9,000-year-old peach.
The nine-thousand-year-old peaches are only available to cultivators of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level or above, or to deities of the third rank or above in the Heavenly Court.
The Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, Mysterious Immortals, and Golden Immortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm can only consume peaches of immortality that are six thousand years old.
As for the immortals who reside in the mortal world, as well as gods and wandering immortals, they consume peaches that are three thousand years old.
Now that the Four Emperors of Heaven have reached perfection, their strength has greatly increased!
The Jade Emperor wanted to showcase the Heavenly Court's strength and didn't want to be looked down upon anymore.
"Your humble servant will obey the imperial decree!"
After receiving the imperial decree, Venus withdrew from the Lingxiao Palace, and for a time, the palace was filled with singing and dancing.
But we see:
A jade maiden holds a fairy handkerchief, while celestial maidens drift ethereally.
A melodious tune rose, and graceful figures appeared.
After receiving the imperial decree, Venus left the Lingxiao Palace and rode on a cloud to the South Heavenly Gate.
"King of Growth, this humble Taoist greets you!"
The South Gate of Heaven was guarded by the Heavenly King of Growth, along with eight Thunder Gods—Pang, Liu, Gou, Bi, Deng, Wen, Zhang, and Tao—and a host of heavenly soldiers and generals.
When Venus arrived at the South Heavenly Gate, he dared not be impolite and immediately bowed to Mo Liqing.
"Venus, what brings you here?"
Mo Liqing held the magic sword in his hands and asked him again.
"I am hereby granted by the Jade Emperor's decree to invite all immortals to ascend to Heaven for the Peach Banquet!"
"We implore the Heavenly King of Growth to grant us this favor and open the Well of Gods and Demons within the Southern Heavenly Gate as well!"
"In this way, it will also make it easier for me to carry out this task. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me!"
Venus adopts an extremely humble posture, and the Well of Gods and Demons, one of the Four Heavenly Gates, is generally not opened.
For ordinary cultivators to enter the Heavenly Court, they must traverse the Nine Heavens before they can reach the Primordial Heavenly Court.
"You're too kind, Venus!"
"This is our duty to guard!"
"Please wait a moment, Star Lord. We will open the Well of Gods and Demons and send you to the Immortal Realm."
Mo Liqing dared not delay and acted hastily.
Venus may seem like a kind-hearted person, but he is one of the star lords in the Heavenly Court who is in charge of killing and warfare!
Tai Bai is the essence of Geng metal in the west, and is also the son of the White Emperor. Shang Gong is the image of a great general.
Being a nice guy was just a facade for him!
The true identity of this deity is that of the supreme war god of the Heavenly Court, second only to the Great Emperor Gouchen!
Not to mention, Venus attained enlightenment very early on!
He had already attained the Great Luo Immortal realm during the reign of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, making him a senior Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"Star Lord Rong Bing!"
"The Well of Gods and Demons has now been opened!"
Not long after Mo Liqing reported back, Venus stepped into the Well of Gods and Demons, only to find the world spinning around him once again.
In no time at all, the world had changed!
The Well of Gods and Demons connects the three realms, reaching the thirty-third heaven above and linking to the underworld below.
Venus arrived in the Immortal Realm, a cloud of auspiciousness rose beneath his feet, and then flew towards the Southern Continent.
