Chapter 1047: The Restriction Order Lifted

Zixiao Palace.

When Laozi, Yuanshi, and the others walked into the hall, they saw Houtu bowing before Hongjun.

"Greetings, Teacher!"

The four of them, Laozi and the others, hurriedly bowed in salute.

Hongjun Daozu's gaze shifted away from Houtu; he looked at the four of them, his voice indifferent and ethereal: "What business brings the four of you here again?"

Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly said: "Teacher, the Wu Clan is acting against Heaven, resurrecting Di Jiang and the others, and mastering the power of Saints; Di Qi is the same.

In order to vie for hegemony, they disregard all living beings of the Primordial World and are fighting fiercely at Mount Buzhou.

To maintain the stability of the Primordial World, the disciples hope that Teacher can lift the Sage Restriction Order so that we may return to the Primordial World."

"That is exactly so, we hope Teacher will grant this!"

The three of them, Laozi and the others, echoed in succession.

Hongjun's expression was calm, without any emotional fluctuation; he looked at Houtu and said: "What do you think?"

Houtu thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Reporting to the Dao Ancestor, the Saints are too strong and threaten the safety of the Primordial World. This junior believes that one can order both Di Qi and the Wu Clan to no longer deploy the Du Tian Shensha Array.

Furthermore, the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation must also not be deployed.

In short, no power exceeding the Saint level should be used in the Primordial World."

If the Sages returned to the Primordial World, she would be outnumbered, and the Wu Clan would certainly be targeted by the Sages in the end.

Since that is the case, it is better to maintain the status quo.

With the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty suppressing them, the Wu Clan can only stay honestly in the Witch God Realm, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and the other two were suddenly filled with surging anger; if they were not in Zixiao Palace, they would have wanted to curse.

We finally waited for this opportunity, and you just cut it off like this?

Zhunti Daoren suppressed the anger in his heart and hurriedly bowed: "Teacher, this disciple believes Houtu's words are fallacious. Maintaining the stability of the Primordial World is the responsibility of us Sages to begin with.

Besides, the Heavenly Dao operates in an orderly fashion; how can one intervene and obstruct it at will?

If this continues for a long time, the Primordial World will find it difficult to develop further."

Laozi could no longer hold back at this moment and immediately echoed: "Teacher, we are Sages and should be revered by all living beings of the Primordial World. But ever since we were restricted, our Good Corpses have been repeatedly bullied by Di Qi, causing us Sages to lose all face.

If any Saint-level power is forbidden from appearing in the Primordial World, Di Qi will reign supreme.

In the future, who knows how he will humiliate us.

Teacher, we are Sages after all."

Jieyin Daoren also played the victim: "Teacher, we are your disciples, yet now we are forced by Di Qi to abandon our Daoist grounds and flee the Primordial Continent, becoming a laughingstock for all living beings of the Primordial World; it is truly shameful."

"We beg Teacher to show mercy!"

Finally, the four of them, Laozi and the others, shouted in unison and knelt straight down.

"Sigh!"

Seeing this, Hongjun could not help but sigh: "Since that is the case, then the Sage Restriction Order shall be lifted. However, remember your duties and do not shake the foundations of the Primordial World."

Previously, restricting the Sages was to help Haotian.

Unfortunately, Di Qi was too fierce.

Now that the four of them, Laozi and the others, were playing the victim like this, it was difficult for him to continue the restriction.

After all, Laozi and the others were his disciples, and this relationship was naturally incomparable to Di Qi's.

Moreover, the Great Calamity had already erupted; if he continued to suppress the Sages, it would mean the main conflict was still being suppressed, and the Great Calamity would never end, because the Sages would not let the matter rest.

The Primordial World could be turbulent, but it could not remain turbulent for a long time.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

The four of them, Laozi and the others, were overjoyed and bowed once more.

Hongjun looked at Houtu and said: "Although the restriction order is lifted, you committed a fault first. How about this: I order you to stay in Wuzu Heaven and reflect on your mistakes for ten thousand years. Without my decree, you are not to step out of Wuzu Heaven by even half a step."

"This junior accepts the decree!"

Houtu bowed in agreement, her mood complex.

There was both an unprecedented sense of relief and a sense of bewilderment.

The relief was because after ten thousand years of reflection, the Great Calamity would surely be nearly over, and she would finally no longer have to intervene in the affairs of the Wu Clan.

The bewilderment was because she knew that after this, the Wu Clan would likely never recover.

Whether it was the Sages or Di Qi, both were extremely disgusted with the Wu Clan. However, as long as she was still alive, the Wu Clan would not truly be wiped out, because no one could withstand her retaliation.

She was of the Wu Clan, and she understood the Wu Clan best.

Perhaps only a weak Wu Clan would restrain its ferocity and coexist peacefully with the Ten Thousand Races.

This day.

Hongjun Daozu's voice resounded throughout the Primordial World: "Effective immediately, the Sage Restriction Order is lifted. Houtu violated the restriction order and is punished to reflect on her mistakes for ten thousand years. If she offends again, she will be sealed permanently."

Boom!

The already noisy and boiling online public opinion completely exploded.

"Heavens, the Dao Ancestor actually lifted the Sage Restriction Order; doesn't that mean the Sages will now engage in a chaotic battle?"

"How could it be like this? With the Sages joining forces, how could the Great King be their match?"

"Hahaha, that's great. The Sect Master has returned to the Primordial World; we can finally stop living under assumed names!"

Please... you... bookmark_(!)

"No! This is unfair, why order the Ancestral Witch Houtu to reflect on her mistakes for ten thousand years!"

"It's over!"

Apart from the disciples of All Sects and the living beings of the Primordial World, no one wishes for the Saints to return to the Primordial World.

This is true for the Witch and Demon, and it is also true for the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.

The mountain that is the Saints is too high; once it presses down upon one's head, it basically means that no one will have a day to get ahead.

Outer Starry Sky.

Because of the proclamation of Hongjun Daozu, Haotian and Di Jun had no choice but to cease their battle.

With the return of the Saints, they both need to consider strategies to cope.

……

Top of Mount Buzhou.

Tianjing.

"Di Qi, get out here and die!"

The voice of Yuanshi Tianzun, like the sound of the Heavenly Dao, rolled down from above the nine heavens.

If not for the Yinyang Wuji Array being activated rapidly, this sound wave alone would have been enough to blast the entire Tianjing into dust.

Immediately following, the four, including Yuanshi Tianzun, stepped out from the void.

After leaving Zixiao Palace, they rushed over without stopping, determined to kill Yin Qi.

Killing Di Qi would not only vent their hatred but also allow them to smoothly divide the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, letting them all feast until they are dripping with oil.

Not to mention anything else, the 36 trillion-strong army of the Immortal Dao, once incorporated, would be enough for their three sects to completely control the Primordial World and surpass the Jie Sect in orthodoxy in one fell swoop.

One wave has not yet subsided, and another rises.

The eyes of the living beings of the Primordial World are once again focused on the top of Mount Buzhou.

Inside the city of Tianjing.

Chen Nan, Ye Fan, and the others are filled with anxiety.

With four Great Saints having arrived in person, can Yin Qi and Nuwa handle it?

If they are defeated, their own fates will certainly not be good, which gives them an unprecedented sense of frustration.

In the past, they all stood at the peak of their respective worlds, using heaven and earth as a chessboard and living beings as chess pieces; how high-spirited and supreme they were.

But now, they can only look up from afar.

Yin Qi took a step out and arrived above the Taiji Diagram, his expression remaining calm.

Nuwa also descended from above the nine heavens and stood by Yin Qi's side.

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Zhunti Daoren, and he said coldly: "You actually dare to show yourself? It seems you have another trump card. Since that is the case, then bring it out."

Although Nuwa is there, there are four of them.

Laozi and the other two also had burning gazes; they saw that Yin Qi did not have the slightest appearance of panic.

Could it be that he has other trump cards?
