Chapter 111

The Thirty-Third Heaven.

Heavenly Court.

Inside the Lingxiao Hall.

It was filled with swirling immortal mist, dreamlike and illusory.

The gods and immortals, dressed in gorgeous immortal robes, stood in two rows with solemn expressions.

At this moment, Taibai Jinxing and Antarctic Immortal Weng walked in.

Antarctic Immortal Weng had a kind face, a smile on his lips, and leaned on a dragon-headed staff. He arrived in the hall and addressed Haotian, who was sitting on the throne.

"Antarctic Immortal Weng greets His Majesty Haotian. May Your Majesty enjoy eternal immortal blessings and live as long as the heavens."

Haotian nodded slightly, a look of majesty on his face.

"Antarctic Immortal Weng is a noble guest, and time is precious. What brings you here today?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng laughed: "Your Majesty, I have come regarding the matter of Perfected Taiyi of the Chan Sect attacking the Heavenly Court and disrupting order. The leader of my Chan Sect has instructed me to be responsible for this matter, and I have come specifically to explain it to Your Majesty."

Haotian's gaze was deep as he stared at Antarctic Immortal Weng, saying in a deep voice: "Oh? Then Antarctic Immortal Weng, please explain in detail how the Chan Sect intends to handle this matter."

Antarctic Immortal Weng did not forget what Yuanshi Tianzun had told him before he left.

Handle it properly, and do not lose the face of the Chan Sect.

"Your Majesty, Perfected Taiyi's actions this time were indeed a bit reckless, but we Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect bear the mandate of the Investiture of the Gods. Everything we do is according to the Heavenly Dao. The fact that he attacked the Heavenly Palace is also according to the Heavenly Dao. I hope Your Majesty will bring Taiyi over so I can take him back to report to the Heavenly Venerable."

"Nonsense! I am the Lord of the Three Realms; how come I do not know that Perfected Taiyi causing trouble in my Heavenly Palace is according to the Heavenly Dao?"

Haotian's majestic voice echoed in the Lingxiao Hall, shaking the hearts of the gods and immortals.

But Antarctic Immortal Weng was not afraid and smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty is indeed the Lord of the Three Realms, but Your Majesty has lived in a high position for a long time and is busy with ten thousand tasks; it is normal not to know the Heavenly Dao."

Haotian had long since experienced that the disciples of the Chan Sect were all glib and twisted black into white, so he said indifferently: "I do not believe your rhetoric. Does the Immortal Weng dare to swear a Heavenly Dao oath and let the Heavenly Dao bear witness?"

"Your Majesty, as the Lord of the Three Realms, why must you let the Heavenly Dao bear witness for such a small matter? It is truly inappropriate. Could it be that you harbor prejudice against my Chan Sect, or is it that Your Majesty has no confidence in your own judgment?" Antarctic Immortal Weng narrowed his eyes, mocking him with a look of contempt on his face.

Haotian frowned slightly. It was clearly Perfected Taiyi who was too arrogant and attacked the Heavenly Court; how did it become his fault in the words of the Chan Sect?

He snorted coldly.

"Antarctic Immortal Weng, stop your glib talk here! Perfected Taiyi is arrogant, conceited, and acts recklessly, committing a monstrous mistake. Not only does your Chan Sect not know how to repent, but you are here arguing sophistry. Do you really think I can be fooled at will?"

"You keep talking about the Heavenly Dao, yet you refuse to swear a Heavenly Dao oath. To use your own words, is it because you have no confidence in your own words?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng sighed: "This matter is clear and simple; there is no need to make such a big fuss and insist on using a Heavenly Dao oath to bear witness. My Chan Sect has always expounded the Heavenly Dao and would never speak nonsense. Your Majesty, you are the Lord of the Three Realms after all; how can you not see this point? Please hand over Taiyi."

An immortal in the hall could not help but speak up, righteously: "Antarctic Immortal Weng, although you are a Saint's disciple, is it not going too far to openly provoke His Majesty?"

"That's right, Antarctic Immortal Weng, you have gone too far." Another immortal stood out, his voice loud: "His Majesty is the Lord of the Three Realms. Here in the Lingxiao Hall, how can you be so presumptuous and disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Facing the accusations of the gods and immortals in the hall, Antarctic Immortal Weng was indifferent, a look of contempt appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, I am just speaking the truth. Your Majesty, you had better hand over Perfected Taiyi; let us not make things too ugly."

Haotian sat on the throne, laughing out of extreme anger; perhaps he had long been accustomed to the arrogance of the Chan Sect.

Fortunately, his original intention was to provoke the Chan Sect and let them cause trouble so he could go to the Zixiao Palace to complain.

Facing Antarctic Immortal Weng's provocation, Haotian spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, carrying endless majesty: "Antarctic Immortal Weng, Perfected Taiyi disturbed my Heavenly Palace and killed countless heavenly soldiers and generals. It is reasonable and fair for my Heavenly Court to want some compensation; this is determined by the Heavenly Dao. If I am not given a satisfactory answer, I will not hand over Perfected Taiyi to you. He must repay the karma of the Heavenly Court before he can leave."

Antarctic Immortal Weng laughed: "Your Majesty, this is not a discussion with you, but a demand. Expounding the Heavenly Dao is the responsibility of my Chan Sect. Your Majesty should sit well in your position and stop making unreasonable trouble here."

Haotian snorted coldly and said sternly: "I will say it clearly: you cannot take Taiyi away today. With the attitude of your Chan Sect, it is impossible for me to hand over Perfected Taiyi."

"Your Majesty, I said that Taiyi must leave today. He bears the mandate of the Investiture of the Gods. Your Majesty has been going against my Chan Sect; could it be that you want to go against the heavens?" Antarctic Immortal Weng said unhurriedly.

Haotian snorted coldly and said gloomily: "I am the Lord of the Three Realms, maintaining the order of the Heavenly Dao and performing the duties of the Heavenly Dao. I do not say anything, yet you Chan Sect members keep talking about the Heavenly Dao. If you cared about the Heavenly Dao, would you not respect me? You are just using the Heavenly Dao as an excuse for your evil deeds."

"The matter of the Investiture of the Gods is because your Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect committed too many killing sins. Originally, letting the Twelve Golden Immortals go to the heavens to be officials and following the Heavenly Dao would have been fine, but you refused. Is this not going against the heavens?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng's face turned cold: "Presumptuous! Haotian, you are just a small attendant; how dare you discuss the rights and wrongs of my Chan Sect?"

In an instant, the immortal power on Antarctic Immortal Weng surged, and a powerful force instantly spread to the surroundings.

Only a loud "Bang!" was heard, shaking back the gods and immortals in the hall.

The gods and immortals stumbled back, some even falling to the ground, their faces filled with terror.

Haotian originally wanted to stimulate the Chan Sect, but Antarctic Immortal Weng angered him with that last sentence, and a powerful aura also erupted from his body.

"Presumptuous! Antarctic Immortal Weng, do you want to make a move against me?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng smiled at the corner of his mouth and mocked: "You are just a designated Heavenly Emperor. We gave you some face and spoke to you nicely, but it made you unable to recognize yourself. It is time to show the prestige of my Chan Sect."

Having said this, he sacrificed the dragon-headed staff and smashed it toward Haotian with the momentum of destroying the heavens and the earth.

"Very well, then let me experience the power of you, Antarctic Immortal Weng."

Haotian shouted angrily, summoned the Haotian Sword, and began to fight with Antarctic Immortal Weng.

For a time, immortal power surged within the Lingxiao Hall.

But Haotian was a Quasi-Saint, while Antarctic Immortal Weng was at the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Especially without a powerful magic treasure, Antarctic Immortal Weng soon fell into a disadvantage.

Haotian said: "Antarctic Immortal Weng, your Chan Sect has come to my Heavenly Court to cause trouble again and again. If I do not show my power, do you really think I am weak and can be bullied? Today I will definitely take you down and let you go to the celestial prison to keep Perfected Taiyi company."

Facing Haotian's words, Antarctic Immortal Weng was indifferent: "Haotian, do you dare to be presumptuous in front of my Chan Sect?"

While speaking, he bowed to the void in the direction of Mount Kunlun.

"Haotian is bold and reckless, does not respect the Chan Sect; I ask Teacher to take action and punish him."
