Chapter 562 The Supreme Being Descends, the First Saint
"Reckless? You call running wild in front of the Southern Gate of Heaven reckless? If everyone acted like you, what would become of the rules of Heaven?!"
The Sage Nuwa parted her lips slightly, her voice gentle yet authoritative: "Brother Tongtian is right. Since the Heavenly Court has established rules, everyone entering should abide by them. As disciples of the Sage, we should set an example; how can we lead the way in breaking the rules?"
With this statement, he directly sided with the Heavenly Court and the Jie Sect.
Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions grew increasingly grim. They hadn't expected Nuwa to step in and speak up for Chen Changsheng.
Below, Yu the Great spoke up loudly: "Although our human race does not cultivate the path of immortality, we still know that without rules there can be no order. The law-enforcing gods are acting impartially; what wrong have they done?"
The Jie Sect, Nuwa, and the human race—three forces—simultaneously exerted pressure. The two Western Saints had essentially incurred the wrath of the masses.
Yuanshi Tianzun remained seated, observing coldly without uttering a word.
Although he also disliked Chen Changsheng, he was even more unwilling to see the Western Religion swaggering around in the East.
Zhunti gritted his teeth and could only swallow his anger.
"Very well, what a fine rule of the Heavenly Court. We in the West will remember what happened today."
The Grand Master of Heaven sneered, "So be it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing that the time was right, Haotian stepped forward again to smooth things over: "Esteemed Sages, please take your seats at the Peach Banquet."
The two Western Saints snorted coldly and led their disciples to their seats. The Western disciples were now completely obedient, heads hanging low, not daring to breathe.
Chen Changsheng watched this scene with a clear understanding in his heart.
In this primordial world, strength is ultimately what matters. You have to be right to protect your right. If it weren't for Master and Goddess Nuwa supporting him, Zhunti would never have given up so easily.
After the two Western saints took their seats, the hall returned to calm.
But everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Only one spot is left.
The Supreme Sage, the Supreme Purity Sage.
The leader of all saints, the most unfathomable being in the primordial world.
His arrival will set the final tone for this Peach Banquet.
The atmosphere inside the Lingxiao Palace became exceptionally subtle due to the setback suffered by the two Western Saints. The Jie Sect's morale was high, while the Chan Sect's expressions varied.
The Styx Ancestor picked up the celestial wine and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes full of mockery: "This Chen Changsheng is really a hedgehog; anyone who touches him will get pricked."
Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, his admiration for Chen Changsheng growing even stronger.
Making a saint lose face in public is something not everyone can do.
Chen Changsheng stood still, his expression calm and composed.
He knew that his actions just now had completely offended the Western Church.
But he doesn't care.
Having taken on the responsibility of being the God of Law Enforcement, he was destined to offend people.
If you're afraid of offending people, then don't set rules.
Just then, a strange fluctuation came from the void outside the main hall.
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no overwhelming pressure.
Only a pure, non-active, and natural Daoist spirit quietly spread out.
This Daoist aura, though seemingly gentle, was all-pervasive, instantly calming all the restlessness and hostility in the hall.
Grand Master Xuandu suddenly stood up, his expression becoming extremely respectful.
He straightened his robes, strode quickly to the palace gate, and bowed deeply.
"Disciple Xuandu respectfully welcomes Master."
All the immortals in the hall were shaken.
The Supreme Sage has finally arrived.
As the chief disciple of Hongjun Daozu and the eldest brother among all the saints, the Supreme Saint's position is unshakeable.
Whether it was Yuanshi Tianzun or Tongtian Jiaozhu, they all had to show the respect due to a disciple in his presence.
In the void, a blue ox slowly trotted in.
An elderly man with white hair and beard sat on the back of a blue ox, his eyes slightly closed and his expression serene, as if he had become one with the whole world.
He possessed neither the radiance of a magical artifact nor a sharp aura.
But the moment he appeared, all the light paled in comparison.
This is the Great Sage of Taiqing—returning to simplicity and truth, the Great Way is simple.
The five supreme saints—Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa, and the two Western Saints—rose together, faced the palace gate, and bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
This scene left all the immortals in the hall dumbfounded. All the saints bowing in unison—what an impressive display!
Haotian and Yaochi also quickly stepped down from the imperial throne and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Sage Taiqing."
All the immortals and gods in the main hall, regardless of their cultivation level or social status, knelt down in unison.
"Welcome, Sage Taiqing!"
Chen Changsheng bowed along with the others, filled with awe for his senior master.
The Supreme Sage slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping peacefully across the hall. His gaze seemed to see through all things in the world, to understand all cause and effect.
"Get up, everyone."
His voice was gentle and aged, carrying a reassuring power.
The immortals all rose to their feet, but kept their heads bowed, not daring to look directly at the holy face.
The Supreme Sage rode a blue ox and slowly entered the Lingxiao Palace.
He didn't look at the trembling immortals and gods, nor at the saints with their various expressions. He walked straight to the central and highest seat and slowly sat down.
With his seat taken, the six sages finally gathered together.
The fortune of the entire primordial world reached its peak at this moment.
The spiritual energy inside the Lingxiao Palace was so rich it was almost dripping with moisture, and the peaches in the Peach Garden, nourished by this aura, emitted an increasingly enticing fragrance.
The Supreme Sage looked at the Primordial Heavenly Venerable on the left, and then at the Tongtian Sect Master on the right.
"Today is a grand gathering in the Heavenly Court. You two brothers should refrain from further conflict."
His words were calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu bowed their heads in unison: "We will respectfully follow our senior brother's teachings."
The Supreme Sage then looked at the two Western Sages and shook his head slightly: "The West is barren, and it is not easy for you two to seek the Dao. You should cultivate your character and temperament even more. Do not ruin your cultivation because of momentary anger."
Jieyin and Zhunti nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter the slightest rebuttal.
Finally, the Supreme Sage's gaze fell upon Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng bowed respectfully: "Disciple Chen Changsheng greets Grandmaster Grandmaster."
The Supreme Sage nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"Not bad, he's a promising talent."
These words shocked everyone present.
The Supreme Sage has publicly affirmed Chen Changsheng's status and achievements.
This is more convincing than the Tongtian Sect Leader's attempt to protect his own.
Because the Sage of Taiqing represents absolute justice and the will of Heaven.
The faces of the two Western Saints turned deathly pale instantly.
Even the Supreme Sage has said so, how can they cause trouble for Chen Changsheng in the future?
Sun, who was detained, was so frightened that he turned pale and secretly rejoiced that he hadn't jumped out earlier.
Chen Changsheng was also delighted and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you for the praise, Grandmaster. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations."
With these words from the Supreme Sage, his position in the Heavenly Court was now completely secure.
Anyone who dares to disregard him is slapping the face of the Supreme Sage.
Haotian was overjoyed upon seeing this.
He knew that the Heavenly Court was truly about to rise again.
He strode to the center of the hall and raised the jade cup in his hand.
"Today, all the saints have gathered and all the immortals have arrived. This is truly a blessing for our Heavenly Court and for the primordial world."
"I hereby declare the Peach Banquet officially open!"
