Boom!

With the departure of "Suiren", a rumble of thunder roared across the sky, indicating changes in the Heavenly Dao’s destiny, also marking the transition of the Human Race from the Era of the Three Ancestors to the Era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Paoxi’s gaze was steadfast as he began to consult Xuan Dou on various matters. With the vast Innate Origin within him, it took less than ten thousand years for him to step into the realm of Golden Immortal.

And he, from the hands of Hua Xu’s father, took over the position of clan leader of the Hua Xu Tribe.

Soon, he utilized some spiritual materials collected by the Hua Xu Tribe to forge a "Thousand-Winged Dragon Boat" that could allow mortals to fly across the sky and travel millions of miles in a day. He also learned to prospect for mineral veins with the "Innate Eight Diagrams" and, through the changes in Spiritual Energy, constructed a "Spirit Gathering Array" within the Hua Xu Tribe to increase the speed of cultivation...

Taking this opportunity, the Hua Xu Tribe and surrounding Human Clan Tribes shared resources. Paoxi’s reputation soared, and a continuous flow of Heavenly Dao’s destiny immediately blessed him.

His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. He even devised a method for mortals to cultivate from a young age by tempering their essence blood, then converting it into a means to build their Dao Foundation for cultivation, termed "Refining Essence to Qi". This vastly increased the number of Acquired Human Race members able to step onto the path of cultivation, and he began attempts to improve the "Golden Core Method"...

The "Golden Core Great Dao" taught by Taiching was about refining the human body as a Great Pill, but the Acquired Human Race’s origin was far less vast than that of the Primordial Human Race, resulting in their difficulty in cultivation.

Observing the movements of the sun, moon, and stars, Paoxi pioneered the "External Alchemy Method", which used various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Demon Beast Cores to strengthen cultivators’ origins.

This action also gained the support of several Human Race forebears like the Ma Yi and You Chao, quickly spreading far and wide. Since there was already a blood feud between the Human Race and Demon Clan, they naturally were pleased to use the Demon Clan’s essence blood and cores to aid Human cultivation...

Even Ma Yi, You Chao, and a few other Human Race Daluo personally hunted and killed a Daluo Demon God to facilitate Paoxi’s perfection of his "External Alchemy Method"!

However, Nuwa frowned upon witnessing this scene, not out of sympathy for the Demon Clan, but worried that Fu Xi might struggle to accept this after awakening his True Spirit.

After all...

He was once one of the Four Emperors of the Demon Clan!

The Demon Clan, unaware of Paoxi’s identity, targeted him upon hearing the emergence of such a figure in the Human Race. If it hadn’t been for Xuan Dou protecting him from the shadows, Paoxi might have already fallen victim to the Demon Clan’s vicious attack.

"Xuan Dou is indeed capable, but after all, only of the Daluo Realm. For my brother’s safety, I shall personally manifest a protective presence to safeguard him," Nuwa thought.

Thus, under Nuwa’s intentional guidance, Xuan Dou faded into secrecy, and beside Paoxi appeared a woman from the Human Race named Feng Xi.

...

Meanwhile, Hao Tian personally took action to recruit talents for the Heavenly Court, achieving some success.

Besides Xuanqing’s Plague Dao avatar "Plague Daoist" and Spirit Dao avatar "Hanging Garden Daoist", he also persuaded several Daluo Golden Immortals to join the Heavenly Court.

These individuals were outstanding among Independent Immortals, who had once heard Daoist teachings in the Purple Cloud Palace, including Qing Yi, Ma Yi, and Fu Yuan Immortal, three Innate beings.

However, not all who came out of the Purple Cloud Palace were Quasi-Saints; these three were among the lowest ranked, having spent thousands of years lingering in the Daluo Realm.

Otherwise, Hao Tian would not have been able to persuade them!

Although they joined the Heavenly Court, they were more like Guest Elders and generally didn’t handle court affairs, merely holding a title within the Heavenly Court!

Nevertheless, with several Daluo Golden Immortals joining, the Heavenly Court had a slightly stronger foundation. Hao Tian took this opportunity to recruit many lower realm cultivators.

One day, Hao Tian summoned the Daluo to the Palace of the Polestar: "Fellow Daoists, what do you think is the fastest way for me to establish authority?"

Honestly, his background as a Daoist Ancestor’s disciple was both his amulet and a dark history. Competent cultivators in Primordial didn’t dare to strike at him, but they also mocked him, treating his position as Heavenly Emperor as a joke.

Therefore, he was eager to find an opportunity to change this stereotype.

So what if he was from humble origins as a Dao child?

Was he, now a Quasi-Saint, not worthy of the Heavenly Emperor’s throne?

"This..."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

It was good that Hao Tian had ambition, but they feared his ignorance of the heavens and earth might unintentionally meet a formidable challenge.

As Hao Tian grew impatient, Gold Star Taibai helplessly said: "There are many remnants of the Demon Clan. Your Majesty might consider launching an offensive. Once your majesty personally takes action, the immortals will recognize your strength. After seeing your power, many immortals will surely... voluntarily join the Heavenly Court!"

Hao Tian, satisfied with the response, promptly nodded: "Does my beloved minister have a suitable candidate in mind?"

"How about Guiche?"

After pondering for a moment, Gold Star Taibai began analyzing: "Among the remnants of the Demon Clan, Kunpeng has the strongest power, Bai Ze and Shang Yang are clustering for warmth, Jie Mo and the Dragon Clan’s rebellious Ao Hong and Bing Yi are in cahoots, and all are not to be underestimated. As for the Demon Saint Jiu Ying, his whereabouts have been unknown since the Witch Demon Battle! Only Guiche currently leads the weakest forces!"

"Good!"

Hao Tian was very pleased with this answer.

Confident as a Quasi-Saint who has severed one of his corpses, protected by three Spiritual Treasures – the Hao Tian Sword, Hao Tian Mirror, and Hao Tian Tower, he firmly believed he could easily suppress the Demon Saint Guiche.

Thus, except for the Turquoise Pool keeping watch over the Heavenly Court, "Suiren", "Plague Daoist", "Hanging Garden Daoist", Gold Star Taibai, Qing Yi, Ma Yi, and others prepared to follow Hao Tian in the campaign against Demon Saint Guiche.

After tens of thousands of years, and Hao Tian’s tireless recruitment, the Heavenly Court could now muster a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

With a command from Hao Tian, Gold Star Taibai led the assembly of a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Regrettably, among the hundred thousand, less than ten thousand had stepped into the True Immortal Realm... Most of these hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were practicians of the Refining Void and Integration, vastly inferior to the Yingtian established by Emperor Jun in the past!

The stirrings of the Heavenly Court naturally couldn’t escape the attention of Xuanqing. With Suiren aware, it meant he was as well. Seeing that Hao Tian hadn’t involved the many Star Gods of the Ancient Starry Sky, he was happy to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

During this period, he had successfully refined Yin and released Yang, comprehending the Dao of the Yang Five Elements from the "Yin Five Elements Essence" and refined the "Innate Five Elements Qi" left behind by Kong Xuan after his fall. With the aid of the "Creation Furnace" and the fusion with the "Innate Yin Yang Qi" of the Golden Winged Great Roc, he had discerned a Divine Skill superior even to the "Five-Colored Divine Light"!

Seven Treasures Skill!

With the fullness of Yin Yang and Five Elements, a rainbow of seven colors would emerge with a single move, extremely similar to the Companion Spirit Treasure, "Seven Treasures Marvel Tree" wielded by the Western Zhunti Daoist, with remarkably astonishing power. Xuanqing had thus named it the "Seven Treasures Skill!"

Of course, it could also merge with the "Creation Furnace", evolving into the "Myriad Dao Melting Furnace" where all things within Yin Yang and Five Elements would be instantly refined.

At this moment, Xuanqing was refining a Magic Treasure, "Star Banner," which could attract the Power of Stars, bursting forth with dazzling light around him.

"What a pity!"

"I do not know the Celestial Stars Battle Formation!"

Since Jin Ling Saint Mother had control over the Ancient Starry Sky, Xuanqing naturally thought of replicating the Demon Clan’s grand formation, and the "Celestial Stars Map" in the hands of Jin Ling Saint Mother could replace the "River Map" and "Luoshu" as the pivot of the formation.

However, the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" was derived from the star patterns imprinted on the body of the "Chaos Bell" by Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Fu Xi.

With Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi’s demise and the reincarnated Fu Xi yet to awaken his True Spirit, the other members of the Demon Clan only possessed incomplete knowledge of the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation"... He temporarily had no way to reconstruct this unparalleled grand formation of the Demon Clan!

He asked Wu Zhi Qi, and found that the Daluo Demon Gods of the Demon Clan only grasped fragments of the formation map; Demon Saints perhaps knew more, but none possessed the complete array map!

There was no choice!

He could only pin his hopes on Fu Xi, wishing for his early awakening of the True Spirit’s memory.

And in these years, the performances of Fu Xi had caught his eye, indeed a prodigy dazzlingly brilliant, creating many marvelous things within mere tens of thousands of years!

The destiny of the Human Race also grew accordingly.

...

Hao Tian, accompanied by several Daluo Golden Immortals and a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, pressed on towards the lair of Demon Saint Gui Che, startling numerous great beings with this formidable move.

However, these mighty ones chose to sit back and watch: "Hao Tian’s ambition has finally been revealed! It’s a good opportunity to test Hao Tian’s strength through Gui Che!"

Gui Che also noticed Hao Tian’s activity, but as one of the three thousand guests in the Purple Cloud Palace, a Quasi-Saint expert, and one of the ten strongest Demon Saints under Emperor Jun’s command, how could he flee without a fight against Hao Tian, who originated from an infant Heavenly Emperor?

He wielded the "Void-breaking Spear" high above the Nine Heavens: "Hao Tian, if you retreat now, out of respect for the Daoist Ancestor, I may spare your life!"

He had never imagined that he would become an object for Hao Tian to establish his authority.

This incited his uncontainable fury!

"Enough talk!"

With a piercing gaze, Hao Tian spoke bluntly: "You remnants of the Demon Clan, dare to speak such arrogance before me! Surrender to the Heavenly Court at once! If you submit early, I may pardon your past!"

"How presumptuous!"

Rage surged in Gui Che’s heart, and with the "Void-breaking Spear" in hand, a shadow of a Fire Phoenix carrying infinite Evil Qi burst forth instantly towards Hao Tian.

"I want to see what abilities a mere child like you has to make me surrender!"

In an instant, a flurry of spear shadows pierced through the universe and the sun and moon, releasing an ultimate destructive force. It was the culmination of the billions of lives slaughtered by Gui Che after becoming a Demon Saint.

"Hao Tian Tower, suppress!"

Facing this strike from Gui Che, Hao Tian dared not be careless, swiftly invoking the tower for protection while brandishing the "Hao Tian Sword" fiercely towards Gui Che.

After all, Gui Che was battle-hardened, his body’s Evil Qi solidified, and by taking the initiative, he pressed Hao Tian with overwhelming Mana.

Yet Hao Tian was no vegetarian; the "Hao Tian Mirror" blasted a divine light piercing through the void, forcing Gui Che to retreat a million miles instantaneously.

"Emperor’s Steps Through Time!"

To establish his authority amongst the living beings in the Primordial, Hao Tian spared no effort. An imposing Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form instantly manifested in the void.

"Heavenly Fire Scorches the Earth!"

Gui Che was not the least bit intimidated, manifesting his true Demon God form. Nine heads activated their skills simultaneously, and a cosmic blaze pressed down on Hao Tian in an instant.

Though one of the ten Demon Saints, he was of Phoenix Clan origin, a black Nine-Headed Bird with innate talent in the Dao of flames.

Mastering not only the "Phoenix True Fire" but also refining an imparted "Taiyang Fire" from Emperor Jun, his attack held the power capable of burning through the universe and the void.

With a thunderous rumble, the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form collided with the cosmic blaze, with the aura of destruction spreading through the void, and the universe quaking. In an instant, vast stretches of space transformed into land, water, fire, and wind.

Unexpectedly, Gui Che suffered a great loss in this exchange.

Seeing this, Hao Tian laughed heartily: "I am the Heavenly Emperor personally anointed by the Daoist Ancestor, with the mandate of heaven upon me. To rule over the heavens, lead all saints, govern the universe, enlighten the myriad heavens, practice the Dao of Heaven, carry out the virtues of Heaven, create all beings, redeem and guide the masses, balance the Three Realms, command myriad spirits, unboundedly save humanity, and to be the supreme deity of the Heavenly Realm!"

A fierce light flashed in his eyes; if he could slay Gui Che right here, it would surely make the living beings in the Primordial aware that he, the Heavenly Emperor, was not one of mere empty fame!

"Kill!"

With that thought, he took the initiative to strike, urging the "Hao Tian Sword" to deliver a mighty blow.
