Chapter 508 The Sages Receive the Summon! A Meeting is Held in the Purple Cloud Palace!
Upon seeing that Hongjun had agreed, Haotian's face was immediately filled with joy.
Just now, he was extremely nervous, fearing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would refuse.
"Thank you, sir!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Haotian immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Hongjun.
Upon seeing this, Hongjun remained calm.
He was the one who was planning to do this; Haotian just suggested it before he could act.
After a slight pause, Hongjun waved his hand lightly, lifting Haotian from the ground, and said calmly:
"Please wait here for a moment!"
"This ancestor is now anxious for all the sages of the heavens to come."
Having said that, Hongjun had a thought and directly issued a decree, which descended upon the prehistoric world!
……
Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.
The Supreme Sage was refining elixirs; the furnace was burning with high brilliance, and the air was filled with the fragrance of elixirs.
Suddenly, the whisk in his hand paused.
Immediately afterwards, the Supreme Sage waved his hand lightly and then took out a jade talisman from his wide sleeve.
At this moment, the jade talisman trembled slightly, emitting a faint golden light.
"Did the teacher summon you?"
Looking at the jade talisman, the Supreme Sage murmured, his expression full of surprise.
He never expected that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would summon him to Zixiao Palace at this time.
"It seems something big is about to happen in the primordial world!"
After a slight pause, the Supreme Sage remarked with such emotion.
Then, he summoned his disciple Xuandu and asked him to look after the alchemy furnace, while he rode the green ox straight to the outer reaches of the Chaos Heaven.
……
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged on auspicious clouds, his body surrounded by pure and ethereal light, as he meditated and cultivated.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.
Then, Yuanshi Tianzun casually made a gesture, and a jade talisman immediately appeared from his palm.
This jade talisman was bestowed upon all the sages of the heavens by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Once the Dao Ancestor issues a summons, the jade talisman will vibrate.
"The teacher summoned you?"
"strangeness!"
"Has...has something serious happened?"
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubt.
You should know that unless something really serious happened, it would be impossible to alarm the Dao Ancestor.
After a moment's thought, Yuanshi Tianzun came to his senses and murmured softly:
"That's enough!"
"We'll see the outcome when we reach Zixiao Palace!"
Then, Yuanshi Tianzun dared not delay. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Zixiao Palace deep in the chaos.
……
In the Western Paradise, beside the Pool of Eight Treasures and Merits.
The Guide and the Cundi were discussing the Dao when suddenly they both sensed something, looked at each other, and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
"Senior brother, it's...it's the teacher's summons!"
The Daoist Zhunti frowned slightly and uttered a soft question:
"What could be happening at this time?"
The guide shook his head, his face full of sorrow, and replied faintly:
"You'll know when you get there."
Then, the two rose up, transformed into two golden rays of Buddha light, and disappeared into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
……
Beyond the heavens, in the palace of Nuwa.
The sage Nuwa was leaning on her cloud bed, surrounded by the ethereal energy of creation.
"Um?"
During a moment of quiet meditation, Nuwa suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.
"The teacher actually called us together at this time?"
"It seems something big is about to happen in the primordial world!"
After a moment of reflection, Nuwa took a deep breath, concealed her true form, and then transformed into a streak of five-colored light, flying towards the depths of chaos.
……
Zifu Prefecture, Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.
The Tongtian Sect Leader also received the decree issued by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
A golden jade talisman floated in front of him.
"The teacher wants us to go to Zixiao Palace for a meeting?"
"At this time?"
"In this primordial world, the aura of calamity is growing stronger and stronger. Could it be that a great calamity is about to begin?"
Thinking of this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes narrowed, and without further ado, he leaped away.
……
Before long, the Six Sages of the Heavens arrived outside the Purple Cloud Palace.
After descending, the saints looked at each other, and all of them could see the bewilderment in each other's eyes.
"Senior Brother Taishang, what is the purpose of Master summoning us to Zixiao Palace at this time?"
Zhunti Daoist smiled and asked the Supreme Sage.
Among the six saints, the Supreme Saint was the leader.
In Zhunti Daoren's view, perhaps the Supreme Sage knew something.
As Zhunti Daoist asked his question, the other sages all looked toward Taishang Sage without prior agreement.
Receiving the gazes of all the sages, the Supreme Sage wore a bitter and helpless expression, gave a slightly awkward smile, and shook his head, saying:
"I don't know either."
"You'll know when you see the teacher."
Upon hearing what the Supreme Sage said, the Sages, including Zhunti, nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Just then, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened.
Upon seeing this, the six saints focused their minds and stared straight ahead.
Before long, a figure walked out from inside the gate.
The person who arrived was none other than Haotian!
Upon seeing Haotian, all six sages of the heavens were astonished, their faces filled with surprise.
I never expected that Haotian would be at Zixiao Palace.
In the past, they wouldn't have found this strange, since Haotian and Yaochi were originally servants of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
However, Haotian and Yaochi were later sent by Hongjun to take charge of the Heavenly Court.
Logically speaking, Haotian shouldn't be at Zixiao Palace at this time.
"Why is Haotian here?"
Saint Zhunti glanced coldly at Haotian, his expression displeased.
He was extremely displeased with Haotian, the Heavenly Emperor.
In the previous battle at Peach Mountain, it was Haotian and Chen Changsheng who joined forces to betray the Western Sect.
When Haotian went to the Western Realm beforehand, he was extremely humble and begged the Western Sect to take action to suppress Chen Changsheng.
Unexpectedly, at the final moment of the battle at Peach Mountain, Haotian appeared on his own initiative and used the Heavenly Emperor Seal to help Chen Changsheng split Peach Mountain and rescue Yao Ji.
This matter has always been a source of unease for the Sage Zhunti.
Seeing Haotian appear in Zixiao Palace, he was naturally very unhappy.
Meanwhile, the other great sages were also puzzled by Haotian's appearance.
After a slight pause, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze darkened, and he asked:
"Haotian, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian immediately bowed to the great sages, including Yuanshi Tianzun, and replied:
"Reporting to the Primordial Sage, it was Master who instructed me to be here to welcome all the sages!"
Upon hearing Haotian's words, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the several sages.
Then, Haotian didn't delay and led the six saints towards the Zixiao Palace.
Before long, all the saints arrived at the Zixiao Palace.
Upon seeing the Dao Ancestor Hongjun seated upright on the futon, the great sages immediately bowed in reverence:
"Greetings, teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun nodded slightly and said calmly:
"Get up, everyone!"
The six saints straightened up and stood on both sides.
Haotian stood at the very back, not daring to breathe.
After a brief silence, Hongjun turned his gaze, sweeping over the several sages, and slowly spoke:
"I have summoned you all here today to discuss something."
