Genres:Sci-Fi and Supernatural Last update:25/03/24 18:10:40
        Hao Tian cultivated 1750 yuan of cultivation, and his skill in cultivating Qi has reached its peak. The Great Calamity of Sealing the Deities envelops the Three Realms, having no effect on him at all. The phoenix retreats to advance, and he has also calmed down on this side.

    Hao Tian turned the Hao Tian Mirror again, a precious treasure given by the Dao Ancestor, which can observe the entire Three Realms and see one Phoenix easily.

    As the brilliant red light of the Hongluan Star appeared in the Hao Tian Mirror, some previously hidden things instantly surfaced, without needing to go for divination specifically. With a glance, he had a clear understanding of the situation.

    Don't know it, once knowing it, just using a breath of time, he realized that the problem was with Yuelao.

    Yuelao, Fairy Yuan!

    As for whether there is still a hidden hand, that can't be seen.

    He didn't continue to explore, as this matter involving himself was done quietly and covered up his investigation. The front and back had been hidden for several years, which far exceeded the level of Fairy Yuan. There must be some moves by sages.

    It's not easy to say which particular one it is.

    In his opinion, both the Three Purity and the Western Two Saints are suspicious.

    He sheathed the Hao Tian Mirror and summoned Tai Bai Xing again, where they discussed this matter as sovereign and subject.

    "It is too much for people! Long Ji is my daughter!" Hao Tian held back his anger and had several times the thought of going to the Purple Palace to ask the Dao Ancestor to investigate this matter thoroughly, but in the end, he forced himself to suppress it.

    The Dao Ancestor merges his body with the Dao, and his personal emotions become increasingly indifferent. The emotional connection that Hao Tian left when he was a child as a slave is becoming less and less.

    Tai Bai Xing waited for him to calm down before whispering, "Your Majesty, we should not delve too deeply. The method used last time was indeed inappropriate. But now, the time is ripe. I believe, to solve the bell's problem, one must untie it with the string that tied it."

    Last time's method? What method was used last time?

    Hao Tian pondered for a while, the cryptic dialogue style between the sovereign and subject was tiring, but to avoid some scrutiny from the levels of sages, one must be extremely careful.

    He finally remembered, the last time they discussed this topic was because of the trouble caused by Zhu Tianlin, when they were preparing to summon Deng ChanYu to serve in the heavens.

    Hao Tian stroking his long beard said, "Your words are reasonable, this strategy is feasible."

    Before Deng ChanYu's cultivation was too low, she couldn't serve in the heavens. Now that she is a true immortal, this level of cultivation is more than enough to serve in the heavenly court.

    Directly summoning Deng ChanYu to the heavenly court and giving her a low position would be disrespectful to the Saintess Nuwa. She is my only disciple, and you're offering her just a trivial post? Come on, take my River and Mountain Treasures Map!

    If the position given is too high, Hao Tian wouldn't be willing.

    When Deng ChanYu was at the Tianxian realm, Tai Bai Xing had proposed recruiting her to serve in the heavens. It was because Hao Tian thought it hard to arrange that the plan was abandoned.

    Deng ChanYu is indeed difficult to arrange. As a phoenix "in the wild", it's easier to make arrangements for her.

    Tai Bai Xing's words are very apt. To solve the problem, one must deal with the person who tied it. It is more appropriate for Nuwa, the goddess of marriage and family, to deal with Long Ji's affairs.

    "Then please, Your Excellency, run a trip for me."

    "Subject to your order."

    As the Phoenix was still divining, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately walked out of the Flame Cloud Cave. He saw Tai Bai Xing with a face full of joy, riding on clouds.

    She also didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. She went straight to the point: "The situation is urgent. Princess Long Ji may encounter trouble at any moment. The old star, let's keep it short and sweet?"

    "Alright, as you say, young friend." Tai Bai Xing wasn't sure of her current state and lowered his posture significantly.

    The Phoenix asked, "Have the Supreme Daoist discovered any clues?"

    Tai Bai Xing smiled warmly and said, "I must be honest with you, Your Majesty. Some clues have been discovered, but since the matter involves the Phoenix Palace, I want to invite you to serve in the heavenly court. With the official position in heaven, we can investigate this matter more legitimately."

    The Phoenix found Hao Tian's efficiency quite high; while she was still pondering, it seemed that the key to the problem had already been found. She looked at Fuxi, who nodded at her, implying that she should just go along with Hao Tian's arrangement.

    "May I ask, what position do you hold, honored star?"

    Tai Bai Xing smiled, the Phoenix and Deng ChanYu's personalities are really different, too straightforward, so straightforward that it's a bit uncomfortable.

    "The position must be granted personally by the Emperor, so please, join me and go to heaven to receive the imperial decree."

    Indeed, it's quite troublesome! The Phoenix doesn't like these chaotic social occasions and so-called procedures, but as the main body is in trouble, she has to take charge here.

    She returned the River and Mountain Treasures Map to Fuxi and rode the clouds together with Tai Bai Xing to ascend to heaven.

    It was still the familiar side hall of the Azure Hall, but this time there was no Vignette General.

    "Your Majesty, I have summoned the Six Phoenixes of Heaven and they are here to deliver the imperial edict."

    This name is not a Daoist name but was randomly thought up on the road. The Phoenix's own memories are completely lost, who knows which one she is? Since Jinwu's side is the sixth, let's name her after the number six.

    Hao Tian asked as if he were blind, in a very dignified tone, "Which one is the Six Phoenix?"

    In her heart, the Phoenix cursed at the tedious procedures and rushed forward two steps: "Greetings to the Supreme Daoist. I am the Six Phoenix."

    Hao Tian seemed to have finally regained his normal vision at this moment. He looked at Tai Bai Xing: "Hmm, indeed a person with deep blessings. Minister, where in the heavenly court is there an empty position that the Six Phoenix can take up?"

    There are plenty of vacancies in the heavenly court now. If there were no vacancies, why would there be a need for the list of immortals?

    Tai Bai Xing pretended to think for a moment, the Phoenix kept urging him with her eyes, "My side is already boiling with impatience, please expedite the process."

    Only then did he speak, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the union of yin and yang brings forth all things, which is an unparalleled great event in the Three Realms. The combination of zi with chou, of yin with hai, of mao with xu, of chen with you, of yi with shen, and of wu with wei is a natural law. The old minister believes that the post of the Six Harmonies Star Lord could be taken by Six Phoenix Friend."

    Tai Bai Xing also looked at the Phoenix, "You called yourself Six Phoenix. If you called yourself Five Phoenix or Seven Phoenix, it would be inappropriate for you to be the Six Harmonies Star Lord. But now, this is destiny!"

    Hao Tian also sensed a presence of destiny within it, and looked at the Phoenix immediately, implying that he was asking if she was satisfied.

    The Phoenix: ""

    After going around so many circles, how did the position of the Six Harmonies Star Lord that Deng ChanYu held in the original timeline end up on me?!

    "Your Majesty, may I ask if there is an issue with marriage?"

    Hao Tian silently nodded.

    The Phoenix pondered for a moment, carefully considering, this position really doesn't have any problems. Nuwa manages affairs of marriage, and now there is a problem with the marriage on the main body. To investigate it, she must be given a position in this area.

    There are indeed vacancies in the positions of Thunder Department, Fire Department, and Water Department, but they have nothing to do with marital affairs.

    The Phoenix felt this was destiny. She must take a turn at the position of "Six Harmonies Star Lord." In the original timeline, it was Deng ChanYu's main body who took the position after her death, while now it's her own body that is taking the position while alive, with just this one difference.

    "Subject, receive the imperial edict!"
