Chapter 240

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Haotian, Yaochi, and Hongxuan gathered here.

That's right, it was Hongxuan's main body, not the Divine Dao incarnation, who had come here again at this moment.

He was calm on the surface, but he was already very unhappy in his heart.

He was scattering Eternal Tokens in the Primordial World when his Divine Dao incarnation suddenly sent information.

Haotian had an important matter to discuss with him, and it was especially important.

He originally thought Haotian was up to some tricks again.

However, looking at Haotian's expression, it seemed a bit different.

"Great Emperor Ziwei, I summoned you here this time for a matter!"

"Oh? Is it enemies attacking the Heavenly Court again?"

"Alas, Fellow Daoist, don't mention those small matters; those were just excuses I made up to train my subordinates."

Hongxuan nodded, but was a bit surprised; this time Haotian's attitude and state of mind had clearly changed.

Did something happen?

Seeing Hongxuan's surprised eyes, Haotian and Yaochi looked at each other, and finally, Yaochi nodded.

Haotian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist, I recently sensed that my state of mind is somewhat unstable, and it has even affected my cultivation."

"Finally, I discussed it with the Wang Mu, and we are prepared to descend to the lower realm to undergo reincarnation and tribulation."

"I have calculated that this tribulation will involve 1,750 tribulations."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to return for a short time!"

"In this case, I have to trouble you to take care of the Heavenly Court's affairs!"

Hongxuan's expression changed upon hearing this.

He knew nothing good would come of it.

Asking him to take care of the huge Heavenly Court—wouldn't he be delayed by mundane affairs in the future?

The Heavenly Court was a place of great karma; if he participated in it, he would have no freedom in the future.

For Haotian and Yaochi, it was a matter of great desire, but for Hongxuan, it was something he feared and avoided.

"This... the affairs of the Heavenly Court should still be handled by the Wang Mu; I have other important matters to attend to, so I'm afraid I won't have time to spare."

"Of course, if a Quasi-Saint level enemy attacks, I will naturally help handle it."

"But for internal affairs, please forgive me for not being able to participate."

Hongxuan shook his head and directly rejected it.

Upon hearing this, Haotian and Yaochi looked at each other.

Although they did not show it on their faces, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

It seems the Great Emperor Ziwei truly has no designs on the internal power of the Tiangong.

Just now, Haotian and Yaochi were merely testing him.

They feared that after Haotian descended to the mortal realm to undergo his tribulation and returned, the Tiangong would have become Li Hongxuan's territory.

If that were the case, it would be truly terrible!

Li Hongxuan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a slow sip.

As for the expressions of Haotian and Yaochi, though subtle, how could they escape his discerning eyes?

He sneered incessantly in his heart.

Sure enough, these two fellows are not on the same path as him at all.

They simply cannot speak the same language.

With such a mindset, their future path to the Dao is destined to be bumpy.

Wanting to attain the Dao and become a sage is likely difficult.

In fact, the possibility is almost zero.

"Very well, since you say so, Fellow Daoist, I shall not force the matter."

"Yaochi, for the period of time ahead, you will have to work harder."

"If you encounter any difficulties, you may seek assistance from the Great Emperor Ziwei!"

Listening to Haotian's words, Li Hongxuan sneered incessantly in his heart.

Sure enough, Haotian is still that same Haotian.

No matter how he changes on the surface, his essence can never be altered.

He had already anticipated this.

Perhaps the Haotian who returns in the future will have a greatly changed personality,

but his essential selfishness and desire for power will absolutely never change.

Fortunately, there is no conflict of interest between them.

Otherwise, he would certainly have to scheme in the shadows.

Once he attains the Dao and becomes a sage in the future, Haotian and Yaochi will likely be held in even less regard by him.

In the time that followed.

Haotian seemed to widely publicize the matter of his descending to the mortal realm to undergo his tribulation.

He had no intention of hiding it in the slightest.

Li Hongxuan truly could not understand this series of actions.

Is it not better to hide one's reincarnation and tribulation as deeply as possible?

Is it not better the fewer people who know about it?

With him doing this, everyone in the Primordial World with even the slightest bit of inside information knows about it.

Isn't this just inviting trouble for the Tiangong for no reason?

Forget it.

He truly cannot fathom the thoughts of Haotian and Yaochi.
