Is the Star Sea also a sea?

Aoguang, upon hearing this, was stupefied for a moment, thinking to himself: "Since the Star Sea is a sea, is the Chaos Sea also a sea, and is the entire Chaotic Universe the domain of the Dragon Clan?"

Of course, this thought he only dared to keep to himself, absolutely not daring to utter it aloud.

With the current strength of the Dragon Clan, even safeguarding the Four Seas is not an easy task, requiring the backing of the Jie Sect and to ride on the coattails of Tongtian Sect Master... How dare he utter such words?

It was Candle Dragon, however, who suddenly had a gleam in his eye and laughed loudly: "Let’s do as Xuanqing’s young friend suggests! Our Dragon Clan is not one to go back on its word!"

"Yes!"

When Candle Dragon spoke, Aoguang no longer had any concerns and immediately agreed that the Dragon Clan would enter the Ancient Starry Sky.

The one hundred thousand dragons he brought, with cultivation levels high and low, the highest merely being Taiyi, and the lowest also within the True Immortal Realm, counted as the elite core within the Dragon Clan!

Jin Ling Saint Mother immediately began the Divine Enthronement.

Xuanqing then turned his attention to the Witch Clan, but before he could speak, he was rejected by Jiufeng: "Don’t even dream of taking my Witch Clan’s elite!"

"Our Witch Clan needs to cultivate with the help of Earthly Evil Qi, occupying the Ancient Starry Sky is of no benefit to us, the World of Darkness is more suitable for our Witch Clan’s sons to cultivate!"

Hearing this, Xuanqing couldn’t help but frown and immediately abandoned this thought.

Because what Jiufeng said was a fact, the Ancient Starry Sky was not suitable for the Witch Clan’s cultivation, it was his lack of consideration!

He thought to himself, if the Witch Clan is unfit for the Ancient Starry Sky, isn’t there still the Human Race?

The reproductive capabilities of the Human Race are not weak; although among tens of thousands, only one Cultivator might be born, there are no less than a million Cultivators amongst the Human Race now!

Later, he asked his Fire Dao incarnation "Suiren," together with Ziyi, You Chao and others, to discuss, allowing a portion of the Human Race to enter the Ancient Starry Sky to cultivate.

"The Celestial Stars have been obtained!"

He pondered to himself: "Thunder Fire Fighting Plague, Three Mountains and Five Mountains, God of Good and Evil, I also need to meticulously plan; relying only on my avatars is not enough to support it!"

"Moreover, these Cultivators from the Dragon Clan and the Jie Sect can only withstand ordinary Star God Fates, for top Ancient Stars like Ziwei and Gouchen, at least they must be at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm to sustain!"

"I still need to recruit more people to join!"

While he was thinking about the future in his mind and during the ascension of many Star Gods by Jin Ling Saint Mother, Hao Tian, Turquoise Pool, and Gold Star Taibai also arrived in the Ancient Starry Sky.

"Nephew-disciples, quite the feat you’ve achieved!" Hao Tian’s voice suddenly rang out: "Who would’ve thought, nephew-disciples could even invite the aid of both Dragon and Witch clans!"

"Uncle-master flatters us!"

Xuanqing promptly greeted him with a bow.

Although he looked down on Hao Tian somewhat in his heart, he still couldn’t neglect the necessary courtesies.

Seeing this, Hao Tian cut straight to the chase: "Nephew-disciple has rendered a great service in reshaping the Ancient Starry Sky, your merit is boundless. Speaking of which, this Heavenly Court has also basked in nephew-disciples’ glory this time, gaining much fortune. Indeed worthy of being Tongtian’s outstanding disciples! But I don’t know... after nephew-disciple returns, have you considered my previous proposal?"

His proposal was naturally inviting Xuanqing to join the Heavenly Court to assist him in reestablishing cosmic order.

"Of course I’ve considered it!"

Xuanqing said with a smile: "However, as of now, there’s nothing in the Heavenly Court that attracts me! Moreover, uncle-master has yet to show me the semblance of what a Heavenly Emperor should be!"

Xuanqing was well-versed in the tactics of inducing by retreating and did not intend to agree to Hao Tian so quickly.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Tian’s expression showed interest: "Nephew-disciple has grand designs. What do you think the Heavenly Emperor should be like?"

Instead of answering directly, Xuanqing replied with a question: "What do you think of Ancestor Dragon?"

Hao Tian pondered for a moment and replied: "Commands the Four Seas, his dominance knows no bounds, and he has a heart to embrace all under heaven. Sadly, he lacked in strategy, which resulted in Demon Ancestor Luo Hou exploiting him, leading to an unfinished tyranny!"

With Candle Dragon and other members of the Dragon Clan nearby, Hao Tian dared not belittle Ancestor Dragon too much.

"How about Lord of the Eastern Kingdom?"

Xuanqing continued to inquire.

Upon hearing this, Hao Tian replied immediately: "Too arrogant, unable to discern the trend of the times. Thinking that with the title ’Foremost Male Immortal’ personally conferred by the Daoist Ancestor, he could command all immortals, his ambitions were as vast as the heavens but his fate as thin as paper!"

"And Emperor Jun?"

Hao Tian pondered and evaluated: "Emperor Jun was not unworthy of being a sovereign, but he was too anxious for quick success and gains. Without the Daoist Ancestor’s mandate as Heavenly Emperor, his legitimacy was flawed, and his words didn’t carry weight. Relying on the ’Evil Summoning Banner’ to intimidate the Demon Clan, he lacked tolerance for others, eventually leading to betrayal by demon advisors such as Kunpeng and an ignoble end!"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing could not help but burst into laughter: "If that’s the case, uncle-master, compared to those three, do you think you have any advantages?"

Before Hao Tian could answer, Xuanqing continued on his own: "Regarding cultivation, all three of them had higher cultivation than uncle-master; even the Lord of the Eastern Kingdom was a Quasi-Saint who had eradicated his two corpses! In terms of tolerating people, uncle-master can’t compare to Ancestor Dragon! In terms of sovereign dignity, uncle-master doesn’t show as much as Emperor Jun! In social relations, uncle-master is far behind the Lord of the Eastern Kingdom!"

"As for legitimacy, the Lord of the Eastern Kingdom of the past was personally titled ’Foremost Male Immortal’ by the Daoist Ancestor, but didn’t he still end up with that kind of outcome?"

"With the performance uncle-master has shown now, you’re not even equal to the three of them you mentioned, so why should I submit to you?"

"Eh?"

Xuanqing did not give Hao Tian face but instead said with profound meaning; "If uncle-master wishes for me to join the Heavenly Court, then first show me something exceptional!"

Despite his words, Hao Tian was not angered but nodded in agreement: "Nephew-disciple is right!"

He had the ambition to surpass Ancestor Dragon, the Lord of the Eastern Kingdom, and Emperor Jun, but just like Xuanqing said, his current performance was indeed inferior to those three.

Naturally, he couldn’t refute.

Xuanqing did not continue to mock Hao Tian but instead showed a gentle smile: "However, uncle-master is after all the nominal disciple of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun! Although I still wish to observe for a while, considering the face of the Daoist Ancestor, as well as the few Innate Ren Water Flat Peaches that uncle-master gifted at the last Flat Peach Event, I can still recommend some talents for uncle-master!"

"Uncle-master should know that I am one of the Primordial Human Race, and there are also a few Daluo among the Primordial Human Race, I can persuade them to join the Heavenly Court!"

"I just don’t know if the uncle has thought about how the Heavenly Court should operate?"

"Don’t follow Emperor Jun’s old path!"

Hao Tian heard this and his expression remained unchanged, he only gave a slight nod saying, "If that’s the case, then thank you, nephew! I still hope you can join the Heavenly Court!"

After he spoke, he left without looking back!

Clearly, the words of Xuanqing had deeply touched his heart.

Seeing Hao Tian leave, Jiufeng also led the Witch Clan back to the Netherworld, and Candle Dragon along with Aoguang and the others, after giving instructions to the Dragon Clan members who were enrolled by Jin Ling Saint Mother, went straight back to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Following that, Xuan Dou of the Human Sect and Nanji of the Chan Sect and others, also said their farewells to Xuanqing one after another, and Duobao led a group of Jie Sect disciples back to Golden Turtle Island.

There was no other way!

With Jin Ling Saint Mother’s breakthrough in cultivation, they felt the pressure and wanted to go back for secluded cultivation.

As for the Jie Sect disciples who received the enrollments, such as the Kui Wood Wolf, Heart Moon Fox, and so on, they directly established their own Star Palace on their corresponding stars.

They planned to cultivate right there!

The Dragon Clan who were enrolled did the same, and even though they were nominally following the orders of Jin Ling Saint Mother, she had not issued any commands for the time being.

They naturally cultivated on their own!

Seeing everyone had left, Xuanqing immediately went to the "Well of Stars".

Even though the stars were no longer gushing forth, there was a pool of "Starlight Divine Water" condensed within, radiating a captivating light, simply concealed by Xuanqing’s actions!

"Starlight Divine Water" was the essence of stars. That the "Well of Stars" could nurture it was not surprising, but it opened up the possibility of condensing the "Three Lights Divine Water" in Xuanqing’s eyes.

The combination of "Sunlight Divine Water," "Moonlight Divine Water," and "Starlight Divine Water" is none other than the well-known and immensely fortuitous "Three Lights Divine Water" of the Primordial era.

With the Taiyang Star and Taiyin Star ever-present since ancient times, collecting "Sunlight Divine Water" and "Moonlight Divine Water" was not difficult, it just required some time!

He entrusted this matter to Jin Ling Saint Mother, while he himself instantly transformed into a rainbow light, arriving at a Human Clan Tribe near the Five Mountains.

He intended to honor his promise to Hao Tian, conveniently using this chance to have his Fire Dao Avatar "Suiren" become a deity of the Heavenly Court.

Fire Department True God!

This was one of Xuanqing’s goals!

He had already comprehended the "Dao Yi Seal," which could forge fate, alter cause and effect, obscure the Heavenly secrets, and Hao Tian could definitely not see the connection between him and "Suiren".

All he would see was the "Suiren," one of the three great ancestors of the Human Race, and a Daluo Golden Immortal adept in the Fire Dao, with an excellent relationship with Xuanqing.

Because Xuanqing had already used the "Dao Yi Seal" to craft a separate destiny for "Suiren," even if Hao Tian used his powers to retrospect time, "Suiren" would just be an independent being.

Not another avatar of Xuanqing!

Of course, it was somewhat improper to let "Suiren" go to the Heavens alone. Xuanqing immediately persuaded Jin Hong to lead a fraction of Human Race Cultivators to willingly join the Heavenly Court.

As a disciple of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, Hao Tian must also know that the Human Race is the future protagonist of Heaven and Earth, he believed the other party would not reject the addition of the Human Race.

Before long, "Suiren" and Jin Hong arrived at the Heavenly Court. With "Suiren"’s self-recommendation, he smoothly became the Fire Department True God.

As for Jin Hong, he found a Star God position to oversee the Heavenly Realm on routine inspections.

Of course, the Heavenly Court was currently just coming into being, so there wasn’t much to inspect.

It was a sinecure!

Hao Tian certainly wanted to make the best use of everyone, but after careful consideration, what if he lost a Daluo Golden Immortal dissatisfied with just quitting his divine position?

He certainly could not just kill him!

That would undoubtedly offend Xuanqing and the future protagonists of Heaven and Earth!

"I need to find some people!"

Hao Tian was somewhat worried. Following the last Flat Peach event, he enlisted some Loose Cultivators, but they were all lowly cultivated, not even one Daluo Golden Immortal.

Thinking of this, he handed over the matters of the Heavenly Court to Turquoise Pool and Gold Star Taibai, while he himself quietly left the Heavenly Court in search of suitable talents.

And all of this did not escape the watchful eyes of Xuanqing, who planned to take this opportunity to arrange for an "accidental meeting" between his Plague Dao Avatar and Spirit Dao Avatar with Hao Tian!

There was no helping it!

Among his avatars, these two were relatively low-profile, and their cause and effect could easily be concealed.

The Thunder Dao Avatar was hosted by the "Sudden Thunder Zither" obtained by Tongtian from Treasure Dividing Rock, and the Sword Dao Avatar by the Companion Spirit Treasure "Pure Yang Sword" of the bygone Eastern Prince...

They were not suitable for fabricating false identities.

The identity he fabricated for the Plague Dao Avatar was that of a Loose Cultivator who had received the inheritance of the ancestor Pan Hu.

As for the Spirit Dao Avatar, it was a distant member of the Dragon Clan with a slight trace of Dragon bloodline.

...

While Xuanqing was scheming against Hao Tian, Nuwa also sent out an avatar to meet with Houtu and arranged for the True Spirit of Fu Xi to reincarnate into the Human Race.

Following the reincarnation of Fu Xi, carrying his fortune into the Human Race, he ushered in the prologue to the grand rise of the Human Race.

Xuan Dou, who had just returned to Shouyang Mountain, under the guidance of Taiching, also returned to the Human Race to find the reincarnation of Fu Xi and assist him in becoming the Human Emperor.

However, the tasks meant for Fu Xi had already been completed by Xuanqing’s arrangement for "Suiren," and the future was bound to develop in a drastically different direction!

Boom!

The Heavenly Dao thundered, fortunes boiled, and the established trajectory of destiny abruptly shifted!
