Chapter 241

However, as long as his interests were not touched, Hongxuan could ignore it.

Conversely, if they were to scheme against him in the future and threaten his interests, then he was sorry; Hongxuan would inevitably teach them a profound lesson.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

At this moment, all the immortals of the Heavenly Court were gathered together.

Under the gaze of all the immortals, Haotian transformed into a brilliant light in an extremely flamboyant manner and finally vanished without a trace.

From this day forward, the Heavenly Court would temporarily enter the era of Wang Mu's rule.

Hongxuan did not stay long either; after saying a few words of comfort to Yaochi, he also departed.

In the Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Hongxuan looked at Zhenwu below, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"Not bad, Zhenwu. You handled the previous matter well; you didn't lose face for my Ziwei Imperial Palace~!"

"The Emperor is too kind. If not for the Emperor's cultivation, this humble general would not have today's achievements!"

"If there is a crime, it should be punished; if there is merit, it should naturally be rewarded!"

"Zhenwu, you are now at the perfection of the Jin Xian realm, only one step away from the Taiyi Jin Xian realm."

"However, although it is only a one-step difference, crossing it is not so easy."

"Hmm, how about this: I shall bestow upon you a cultivation technique this time as a reward for you!"

Hongxuan flicked his sleeve and reached out to point.

The next moment, a stream of light instantly submerged into Zhenwu's brow.

A moment later.

Zhenwu opened his eyes, full of joy, and bowed respectfully:

"Many thanks to the Emperor for bestowing the technique; this humble general is deeply grateful!"

"Hmm, under my Ziwei Imperial Palace, there shall be the noble positions of the Four Great Marshals."

"As long as you can successfully advance to Taiyi Jin Xian, I will promote you to Marshal Zhenwu as an exception!"

"I hope you will not disappoint me!"

"Yes, Emperor! This humble general will definitely give it his all and will absolutely not fail!"

"Go down and cultivate!"

Hongxuan waved his hand, dismissing Zhenwu, and was just planning to go down to the lower realm again.

But he did not expect that someone else would come to request an audience.

This made him feel extremely impatient.

The Heavenly Court really had too many affairs.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Grand Master Xuandu, disciple of the Taiqing Saint, is outside the palace requesting an audience!"

"Xuandu?!"

Hongxuan's face showed confusion.

He and Xuandu didn't seem to have any interaction, did they?

Why did he suddenly come to find him?

"Invite him in quickly!"

Soon, a youthful figure, bringing along a slightly burly man, slowly stepped into the hall.

"Xuandu greets the Ziwei Emperor; greetings to the Emperor!"

"Brother Xuandu, you are too polite. You and I are both disciples of the Profound Gate; there is no need for such formalities!"

"Ha, etiquette cannot be discarded!"

Hongxuan didn't mind; he had never underestimated the first disciple of Taiqing before him.

Although the other party was currently still at the perfection of Daluo, advancing to Quasi-Saint was a certainty.

Perhaps in the future, only when he attained the Dao and became a Saint could he truly crush the other party.

As for now, it was better to treat him with courtesy!

"I wonder what matter brings Brother Xuandu to my Ziwei Palace this time?"

"Coming here this time, I have a request!"

"This is my wayward disciple, Bian Zhuang. Although his talent is passable, he is lazy by nature. I intend for him to find a post in the Heavenly Court to properly temper his temperament!"

"Uh? Brother, do you mean to have him join my ranks?"

Hongxuan's expression was strange.

How could he not recognize Bian Zhuang?

The famous Zhu Ganglie of later generations, Zhu Bajie.

However, before he had suffered his tribulation, he was still quite heroic.

Although he didn't know why someone who was clearly a figure from the Spring and Autumn period of later generations had appeared now.

But now, Bian Zhuang had indeed become Xuandu's disciple in name and reality.

Perhaps it was because he had reincarnated and undergone tribulations later, using the same name.

Thinking of the future, where this guy would be punished to be reborn as a pig, Hongxuan couldn't help but mourn for him.

However, Hongxuan also had the intention of stopping.

This was all a matter for the Taiqing lineage itself.

It was better for him to intervene less.

Who knew if there might be unknown schemes involved.

If he were to ruin Taiqing Laozi's plans and be held accountable later, wouldn't that be troublesome?

"Brother, you are too polite; this is but a small matter!"

"The nephew is already a Taiyi Jin Xian. How about this: I have a position of Marshal Tianpeng under my command; let the nephew be temporarily aggrieved with it!"

"If the nephew establishes merit in the future, I will bestow upon him the noble position of a Great Emperor!"

Xuandu nodded, very satisfied.

Immediately, he glared at Bian Zhuang with some impatience:

"You wayward disciple, do you not know the rules? Why have you not yet thanked your Uncle-Master?"

"Disciple Bian Zhuang thanks Uncle-Master; this disciple will definitely work hard!"

Hongxuan smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying nothing more.

This guy was clearly an old hand.

It would be strange if he actually believed him!

Whether he worked hard or not had nothing to do with him!

As long as he didn't cause him trouble, that was fine!

"Marshal Tianpeng, I will bestow upon you ten thousand naval troops. As for the remaining ninety thousand, you will need to recruit them yourself!"

"The Heavenly Court is currently in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt; people are needed everywhere."

"You must solve the full establishment yourself!"

"Yes, Uncle-Master, this disciple understands!"

Bian Zhuang looked at Hongxuan with excitement.

He had heard thunderous praise for this famous Uncle-Master.

In his heart, his own Master was already very powerful.

However, there are those even more formidable than Master.

Born less than ten million years ago, this Uncle-Master had already attained the Quasi-Saint Dao.

Compared to the top mighty figures of the Primordial World, he was not inferior in the slightest.

In the future, he might not be unable to reach the late or even perfection stage of Quasi-Saint.

At that time, wouldn't he be the most awesome existence under the Saints?!

If only he could one day become as strong as his Uncle-Master, how good that would be.

Originally, he wasn't very willing to come to the Heavenly Court, but now that he had become a Marshal under his awesome Uncle-Master, he was still very excited.

From now on, he must perform well.

He absolutely could not let his awesome Uncle-Master look down on him.

Of course, he also had to let his Master see that he was also exceptionally powerful.

Next, Xuandu and Hongxuan discussed the Dao for a while, and without staying long, he took his leave.
