Chapter 167: Chapter 127, Seal the Heavens, Isolate the Earth

Bai Jin turned his head and asked Hao Tian, "Uncle-Master, now that the Great Sun exists, what else is needed?"

Hao Tian came back to his senses and immediately replied, "We still need to establish the rotation of day and night in the Lower Realm. This is very important. If the timing is off, it would also be a disaster for the beings of the Primordial World."

Bai Jin said, "Uncle-Master speaks very truly. I just happen to have some rudimentary ideas, and I wish for Uncle-Master’s guidance."

"Ha ha~ Nephew’s ideas must certainly be good!"

"Nephew dares not take credit; it is all thanks to Uncle-Master’s blessings. Uncle-Master may not know this, but I am usually rather dull-witted. Only while planning on behalf of Uncle-Master this time, I don’t know why, but ideas suddenly surged into my mind, as if they were a gift from heaven."

"Ha ha~ Let’s go inside and talk," laughed Hao Tian. He and Bai Jin continued walking towards the palace.

The next day, as dawn was breaking, Bai Jin left with reluctance under the farewell of Emperor Haotian. He looked back every three steps, and waved goodbye every five, seemingly regretful that they hadn’t met sooner.

After seeing Bai Jin off, Heavenly Emperor proceeded to the Turquoise Pool. At the square of the Turquoise Pool’s fountain, Queen Mother of Yaochi sat alone by a table, where delicious food and fine wine were steaming hot.

The Heavenly Emperor sat down opposite to the Pool and said softly, "You’ve worked hard."

The Turquoise Pool asked, "Didn’t you say we were to entertain the Outer Disciple Leader of the Jie Sect? Where is he?"

"He’s already left!"

The Turquoise Pool frowned slightly and said displeasedly, "How rude is that?"

"I can’t help but laugh," said Hao Tian with a smile. "You’re overthinking it. It’s just that I’ve entrusted him with some tasks."

Looking at the food and wine on the table, the Turquoise Pool sighed and said, "All this food and wine have gone to waste."

Emperor Haotian laughed heartily and said, "It’s not a waste—I’ll eat it!" Saying so, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to eat.

The Turquoise Pool said in annoyance, "Always eating." She poured wine into the Emperor’s cup until it was full. Then she put down the wine pitcher and asked, "What did the Outer Disciple Leader of the Jie Sect come for just now? Was it to express dissatisfaction that we rejected those Outer Disciples before?"

"Not at all. Bai Jin is a very pure, sincere, and kind True Immortal blessed with virtue. It’s no wonder he was appointed by the senior brother as the Outer Disciple Leader. Turquoise Pool, I realize we had some misunderstandings about the senior brothers and sisters before."

Looking puzzled, the Turquoise Pool asked, "What happened? What misunderstandings?"

Hao Tian said with a smile, "The senior brothers and sisters didn’t offer their help to us because they didn’t want to disrupt the operation of the Heavenly Court. They feared it might cause chaos in the future, with a potential change in sovereignty."

"Is that also something Bai Jin said?"

Hao Tian nodded and replied, "Yes!"

"Nonsense. Nevertheless, it’s a favor if our seniors help us and an obligation if they don’t. We don’t really need to be too concerned about it."

Turquoise Pool said, "What exactly did Bai Jin come here for? Was the reappearance of the Celestial Court related to the Golden Crow’s flesh?"

Hao Tian nodded and said, "Bai Jin told me a lot, helping me organize my thoughts and understand what I need to do most right now."

"Could you share that with me?"

Hao Tian recounted everything that had happened.

The Turquoise Pool spoke gravely, "To sever Heaven and Earth? Do you know the immense resistance you will face? The power of the stars is one of the sources of strength for the Immortal Gods to cultivate in the Lower Realm. Once Heaven and Earth are severed, the power of the sun, moon, and stars will diminish greatly, and none of the hidden Immortal Gods and Demons on the Primordial Land will rest easy."

Hao Tian said with a smile, "Of course, I know. Our Lord has appointed us to govern the Heavenly Court and oversee the mountains and rivers. This matter is indeed our responsibility. Now the Primordial World is in need, so we must act. It is also an excellent opportunity for our Heavenly Court to gain fame throughout the Primordial World."

"Have you ever thought about why Bai Jin would come to tell us all this? What benefit is it to him?"

Emperor Haotian said with a smile, "Perhaps it’s because of the deep affection between uncle and nephew!"

Queen Mother replied discontentedly, "You have never met, where does this affection come from?"

Emperor Haotian laughed heartily, "I don’t care what Bai Jin is plotting. As long as his words are reasonable and the matter benefits my Heavenly Court, why would I not do it?!"

Queen Mother of Yaochi frowned and said, "There are countless Great Powers upon the Primordial Land."

Heavenly Emperor retorted proudly, "And why should I be afraid of them?!"

He stood up, took a wine cup, and poured a cup for the Queen Mother, saying, "To isolate Heaven and Earth is not something ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasures can accomplish, I need the Plain Cloud World Flag."

"Have you thought it through?"

Emperor Haotian nodded.

Queen Mother of Yaochi looked at Emperor Haotian and, with a wave of her hand, a palm-sized Plain Cloud World Flag with cloud patterns appeared, speaking discontentedly, "Take it! Don’t come crying to me if you get beaten."

"Ha-ha~ Thank you, Yaochi."

Emperor Haotian grabbed the Plain Cloud World Flag with joy in his eyes and turned to leave.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi downed a cup of wine from the table, her voice filled with irritation, said, "Men are all heartless creatures, they leave immediately after obtaining the treasure. Next time you come to me, we’ll see if I still give it to you." Worry was evident in her gaze.

...

Three days later, in the void outside the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Court, an altar towered.

Emperor Haotian, dressed in a Dragon Robe, stepped onto the altar with a solemn look, bowing respectfully, and shouted, "Heavenly Dao above, observe, Taoist Ancestor! Since Pangu created the world, day and night have cycled, Yuan Hui have succeeded one another, Ten Thousand Spirits vie for survival..."

His resonant voice spread throughout the Primordial Three Realms, clearly audible to all. Saints turned their gaze in unison.

Above the East Sea, a solitary island stood tall, with dark palaces built upon it, bearing the large characters "East Sea Prison". This island was the place that made Jie Sect Disciples change their color with fear - the domiciliation of the Jie Sect Law Enforcement Team.

Above the dark prison floated a crystal-clear aerial palace, starkly different from the gloomy prison below, radiating brightness and clarity.

Bai Jin, dressed in a purple robe, walked out from the palace, with his cape billowing and a sword embroidered on it.

Several figures followed him, Zhao Gongming, Yun Xiao, Kong Xuan, Wuyun Immortal, Feathered Immortal, Golden Ring Immortal, each with their cloaks flying and faces solemn.

Bai Jin spoke, "Great changes are upon Heaven and Earth, all Jie Sect Disciples must be suppressed and refrain from acting rashly!"

Everyone behind Zhao Gongming and the others bowed and chorused in unison, "Yes!"

After standing up, their robes solidified into Divine Armor, transforming into six rays of light that shot into the sky.

Bai Jin stood in front of the Law Enforcement Team’s palace, looked up into the sky, and thought, ’The task given by Nuwa is too difficult; I, the poor Daoist, cannot accomplish it. Your Majesty, you must persevere! I support you in my heart.’

"...Heaven and Earth endure long, yet living beings do not; this is due to the Heavenly Dao being hidden, all spirits are born ordinary, and a long celestial night is no longer suitable for the Primordial Beings.

Today I, Heavenly Emperor Haotian, will separate Heaven and Earth, divide Yin Yang, and re-establish order."

All beings were shocked, innumerable Immortal Gods looked up, displaying towering wrath. Who is this Wild Emperor who dares to disrupt our cultivation?!

On the altar, the Jade Emperor clearly felt the surges of anger emanating from the Primordial Land below, yet remained unmoved and calm, grasping a palm-sized flag that quickly expanded when unfurled.

Jade Emperor declared, "Plain Cloud World Flag! Seal the Heavens, cut off the land~"

The Plain Cloud World Flag instantly ascended into the heavens, fluttering in the high sky.

Beneath the Thirty-Three Heavens, rolling dark clouds gathered, centering around the Heavenly Court and sweeping across the entire Primordial World. Where they passed, Heaven and Earth turned dark; countless creatures below became restless, some running wildly, others crawling in panic on the ground, some retreating to their dwellings, others kneeling and praying.

The dark clouds enveloped the North, and a vast scroll suddenly unraveled in the Northern Primordial Wilderness, from which thousands of ink-painted Divine Beasts surged out, charging towards the heavens.
