Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 115 Regret Arises from Lighting the Lamp

Upon hearing Consort Pingxin's words, Haotian immediately fell into deep thought.

Let the witch clan become the earth deities?

Given the conditions of the Wu tribe, it's not impossible.

When it comes to professionalism, the Wu tribe is definitely the most professional besides Zhen Yuanzi.

This was because Zhen Yuanzi was holding the Earth Book.

Without the Earth Book, Zhen Yuanzi might not have had the expertise of a shaman.

Empress Pingxin's statement is naturally correct.

However, this makes the bond between the witch clan and himself too tight.

of course.

This isn't really a problem.

However, there is a hidden concern.

The number of witches, and their volatile temperament.

Can someone really stay in one place?

After a moment's thought, Haotian said, "I will not refuse what you have said, fellow Daoist."

However, there are some things I must clarify with you first.

Upon hearing this, Lady Pingxin's expression turned serious, and she said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak!"

Let's clear up our concerns first, so that we can avoid misunderstandings as much as possible in future cooperation.

This will make our cooperation even smoother.

Upon seeing this, Haotian nodded and said, "Then I will speak frankly."

First, the primordial wilderness is too vast, and the Wu tribe may not have enough cultivators to satisfy the need for bestowing titles upon the Earth Gods.

Secondly, I will definitely keep some of the more important land deities in my possession.

Third, the Wu tribe does indeed have a method for analyzing the earth's veins.

But can Your Majesty guarantee that those enfeoffed witch clans can truly endure the monotonous life?

You must know that once you receive an imperial decree, you must act in accordance with the rules.

Those who are granted fiefdoms are not allowed to leave their own territories easily.

More importantly, they also have to keep a daily record of everything in their jurisdiction.

A summary report is submitted annually.

Will they be able to handle these tedious tasks?

Hearing Haotian's concerns, Empress Pingxin immediately began to ponder.

These questions are all relatively objective.

If this issue isn't resolved, Haotian's plans could reach a stalemate.

After a moment's thought, Lady Pingxin replied, "I have also considered what you said, fellow Daoist."

How about this?

The number of witches is certainly insufficient to support all the earth deities.

Fellow Daoist, you can still select some from the souls of the dead in the underworld to fill the vacancies.

As for the more important local deities, fellow Daoist, you can handle them yourself.

The witch clan simply needs a way to gain merit.

Occupying a particular position is not important to the Wu tribe.

As for those enfeoffed witch clans, can they endure the monotony?

Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured about this.

When the underworld deities were conferred titles, many members of the Wu tribe signed up.

They all wanted to cleanse the shaman clan of their karma as soon as possible.

I will explain the restrictions to them when the time comes.

We will not allow them to cause trouble for fellow Daoists.

If there are indeed those who don't know what's good for them, then you should deal with them according to the rules.

"Fellow Daoist has done the Witch Clan a favor; the Witch Clan naturally cannot be ungrateful."

Haotian breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this answer.

The Goddess Pingxin gave the Wu Clan the cultivation techniques, enabling her to create a cultivation method suitable for herself.

This relationship is truly quite significant.

It's a good thing that we can repay the favor now.

Haotian then said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled."

When the time is right, I will inform my friends and have them go to receive their titles.

Alternatively, you, fellow Daoist, can draft the list.

I will have the imperial edict delivered directly to you, my friend.

Then, the fellow Daoists would convey the document to them, so that they could take it with them to their new posts.

Suitable souls of the dead in the underworld can also be treated in the same way.

Hearing this, Consort Pingxin naturally knew that Haotian was just trying to avoid trouble.

After all, there are so many local deities. If he had to personally bestow titles upon each one, how long would it take him?

The problem is, she herself finds it troublesome.

After a moment's thought, Consort Pingxin said, "How about this?"

I will have the Ten Kings of Hell deliver the list to the Heavenly Court.

Fellow Daoist, could you please arrange for someone in your department to receive and process this?

This will make our task much easier.

Upon hearing this, Haotian naturally did not object.

He then nodded and said, "Good!"

"I will decide which department should handle this matter later, and then inform you, my friend."

"Can!"

"That's settled then."

I won't bother you any longer, fellow Daoist!

Goodbye!

After saying this, Haotian vanished in a flash.

Haotian returned to the Heavenly Court and began to ponder who should be entrusted with managing the matter of bestowing titles upon the Earth Gods.

Meanwhile, the primordial world was already in an uproar.

Just as he was discussing matters concerning the Earth Goddess with Lady Pingxin.

Yaochi and the other cultivators have already begun setting up the formation.

Upon seeing this commotion, the group of cultivators immediately showed expressions of surprise.

That's a meritorious act!

Haotian actually handed it over to someone else.

It's like giving away the merit to someone else.

Let's compare it with other forces in the prehistoric world.

Who can do this?

The Great Teaching of the Sages?

Don't be ridiculous!

In order to gain some merit in assisting the emperor.

These independent cultivators were outwitting and outmaneuvering the disciples of the major sects.

I almost knocked the dog's brain out.

Do you expect them to shirk their responsibilities?

It's better to just take a nap.

After all, anything can happen in dreams.

However, Haotian has truly meritorious deeds.

In this comparison...

If one really needs to find a powerful force to settle down in, the Heavenly Court doesn't seem like a bad option.

Haotian truly benefits from this!

At this moment, the lamps are lit in the Lingjiu Cave of the Great Snow Mountain.

He has fallen into deep self-doubt.

Immeasurable Heavenly Venerables!

The decision to join the Chan Sect was truly hasty!

If only I had known about Haotian earlier, I would have had this vision.

Why would I even bother joining the Chan Sect then?

After joining the Chan Sect, all I received was the title of being a disciple of a sage; I gained absolutely no other benefits.

Lingbao?

Lingbao is not there!

Cultivation level improved?

His cultivation level didn't improve either.

When he went there, he was at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he is still at that level now.

Merit?

Originally, assisting the Emperor could have been a way to make a fortune.

However, Guang Chengzi and his group performed a series of miraculous operations, which directly wiped out ninety percent of his merits.

On the contrary, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden from the Heavenly Court was eventually forgotten.

The merit he gained was more than what he gained from lighting lamps.

Where can he go to seek justice?

And that's not all.

Just now, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden went out with Yaochi again.

This vote will surely bring additional merit.

With these two acts of merit, the foundation for eliminating the "good corpse" (a metaphor for a corrupt or harmful person) has been thoroughly laid.

If he has the innate spiritual treasure, he might be able to become a quasi-saint even before he burns the lamp.

Thinking of this, Ran Deng felt a pang of regret.

But now it's too late to regret it and turn things around.

Because he, Dipankara, had already joined the Chan sect.

It's unlikely that Haotian will accept him so easily.

Unless he withdraws from the Chan Sect first.

But then a problem arose.

It was he who lit the lamp, and he himself begged and pleaded to join the Chan Sect.

Now that he wants to withdraw from the Chan Sect, would Yuanshi Tianzun be happy about it?

Yuanshi Tianzun would never tolerate such a humiliating act.

Then he will have to face the wrath of the Primordial Celestial Lord alone.

After all, he hadn't joined the Heavenly Court yet, so Haotian couldn't possibly step in to shield him from trouble.
