Chapter 119 Making the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone Do Hard Labor
Lingbao Tianzun paused, his tone tinged with regret:
"Unfortunately, as the Daoist Master resolved to delve deeper into the path to immortality to verify his conjectures, the Heavenly Court gradually lost its core and eventually dissipated in time, leaving only some incomplete records and relics."
Jiang Hao seemed to be deep in thought:
"Different eras, different paths, yet all have chosen the form of the Heavenly Court. Perhaps, when an individual's strength and wisdom reach a certain level, and they want to do something for heaven and earth, for those who come after, this is an inevitable choice."
"That's true," Lingbao Tianzun agreed.
"A single tree cannot support a mountain, but many trees can lift it easily. The strength of one person will eventually be exhausted, but the wisdom of all living beings is boundless. Only by gathering countless living beings can we cope with great calamities and open up a new path."
The two discussed the meaning and function of the Heavenly Court in different eras, and also exchanged their new insights on the path to immortality.
Lingbao Tianzun shared some of his experiences during his travels.
Lingbao Tianzun, observing the natural and harmonious Daoist aura that resonated subtly with the origin of the universe in Jiang Hao's every gesture, and seeing his seemingly ordinary yet infinitely potential mortal body after shedding his chaotic form, sincerely praised him:
"Fellow Daoist, in this third life, you have truly reached the realm of returning to simplicity and turning decay into wonder. Shedding your strongest physique is like removing all shackles, and your future is truly limitless. I find it increasingly difficult to understand you now."
Jiang Hao shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Since your return, your true spirit and Dao body have become perfectly united, and the Daoist essence of the Four Swords of Zhuxian is even more in line with your own concept of rebirth from the end. Perhaps your next transformation is not far off?"
As they chatted and laughed, the framework of the Heavenly Court became increasingly clear.
However, for such a massive project, relying solely on the two of them to guide the direction is insufficient; many detailed construction tasks still require manpower.
Jiang Hao suddenly had a thought, his gaze turned to several directions in the universe, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Fellow Daoist Lingbao Tianzun, although the core is safe with just the two of us, these delicate tasks still need to be done by someone. I have thought of some suitable laborers."
Lingbao Tianzun was taken aback at first, then followed Jiang Hao's gaze and immediately understood what was going on, revealing an extremely strange expression on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you wouldn't happen to be..." Lingbao Tianzun didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Jiang Hao nodded, his tone matter-of-fact:
"Asking them to contribute some materials is a gesture of goodwill, and asking them to contribute some labor is also a way of doing good deeds. It wouldn't be right to ask them to only contribute money and resources without participating in the construction, as that would make us seem intolerant."
Lingbao Tianzun was speechless for a moment, then burst into laughter, pointing at Jiang Hao:
"Fellow Daoist...you...truly...well, well, interesting, very interesting indeed! This humble Daoist will broaden my horizons today!"
Jiang Hao also laughed, and then his voice carried into the restricted area:
"Fellow Daoists, since you have already generously donated, why not send one or two representatives to the construction site to participate in the construction of the Heavenly Court? This would fulfill your good intentions and make your donations worthwhile. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding deep within several restricted areas!
"What?"
"You want us to do hard labor?"
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
"How dare you, you brat, insult me like this!"
Deep within the forbidden zone, many slumbering supreme beings were practically bursting with rage!
Providing materials is already a huge sacrifice, and now they're being asked to become craftsmen and do manual labor themselves?
This is simply rubbing the face of the ancient emperor in the ground!
A boundless rage and murderous intent surged within the forbidden zone, causing even the laws of nature to become disordered.
But the next moment, all the supreme beings forced themselves to calm down.
Because they all saw it: in the chaotic void, Jiang Hao was calmly looking in their direction, with that damned gentle smile on his face.
Beside him, Lingbao Tianzun stood with a half-smile, the phantom images of the Four Swords of Zhuxian flickering slightly.
One Chaos Emperor was already enough to inspire despair, but add another unparalleled mythical Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable...
All the boiling anger was extinguished in an instant, leaving only frustration and a deep sense of powerlessness.
To go would be a great disgrace.
Not going... would be more than just a disgrace.
After a long silence.
In the Lake of Reincarnation, an aged figure shrouded in gray mist, its face obscured, reluctantly flew out and slowly moved towards the chaotic void.
In the Burial Abyss, an ancient stone coffin was opened, and a gaunt old man, his body shrouded in deathly aura, sat up. Ghostly flames flickered in his eyes. Finally, he let out a long sigh and turned into a stream of light.
A wisp of wriggling chaotic energy flew out of the Chaotic Ancient Cave.
A ghostly figure with a face full of grief and indignation drifted over from the vast sea of heavenly sounds.
The four representatives of the Forbidden Zone Supremes arrived at the construction site as if they were going to their execution. They stood in front of Jiang Hao, heads bowed, without uttering a word.
Jiang Hao seemed oblivious to their unpleasant expressions, his smile remaining warm and friendly.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoists. The pillars over there need polishing, the floor tiles over there need to be laid, and the auxiliary patterns for the array need to be drawn over there..."
These are all delicate tasks. With your cultivation and understanding of the Great Dao, fellow Daoists, you should be able to handle them with ease. Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Lingbao Tianzun and I will oversee the entire process. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
He disregarded their reluctance and considered it a favor to let them participate in the establishment of the Heavenly Court.
Logically speaking, they should thank themselves.
The four supreme representatives trembled slightly, from anger.
But in the end, they silently turned around and flew towards the construction site Jiang Hao pointed out, and began to use their once world-destroying imperial laws to polish the pillars, lay bricks, and draw array patterns.
Throughout the myriad realms, all cultivators capable of witnessing this scene were dumbfounded.
After a brief period of deathly silence, a complete uproar erupted!
"I...I'm not seeing things, am I? That's...the Supreme Being of the Lake of Reincarnation? He's...building the gate?"
"The Supreme Being of the Burial God Abyss... is building a plaza? Using his Imperial Laws to smooth out the ground?"
"Is the Supreme Being of the Heavenly Sound Vast Ocean... carving something?"
"My God, am I dreaming?"
"The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone...is he a construction worker? Building a Heavenly Court for the Chaos Emperor? Is that right?"
"Hahaha, a wonder of the ages, unprecedented in all time!"
"The Emperor's divine might, the Emperor's invincibility—this is even more painful than killing them!"
The universe was in an uproar. Countless cultivators laughed so hard they were doubled over, feeling incredibly relieved.
Countless people were moved to tears.
Lingbao Tianzun looked at the four awkward Supreme Laborers, then at Jiang Hao, who stood calmly to the side.
Judging from his appearance, it seemed he had only hired a few ordinary helpers. Lingbao Tianzun shook his head and smiled wryly, transmitting his voice:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you really did peel off their skin and stomp on it a few times. But... it is indeed interesting. In all my lives, this is the first time I have ever seen such a scene."
Jiang Hao remained calm and replied telepathically, "Give them something to do, so they won't be scheming in the shadows all day."
Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun gave Jiang Hao a deep look and said no more.
This shocking scene naturally fell into the eyes of all living beings and their powerful counterparts.
