Chapter 1852: 1,176 Generous Taoist Ancestors
The Jade Emperor is a supre sage. As long as he wishes, he can break through at any ti and step into the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.
Thus, as soon as the situation becos clear, the Jade Emperor can imdiately return and pass the throne to Jiang Chen.
The Jade Emperor originally intended to pass the throne to Jiang Chen, and now with the acknowledgnt from the Taoist Ancestors, from this point onwards, Jiang Chen’s position as Tiandi can be said to be unshakable.
Of course, to Jiang Chen, such matters didn’t count for much. After all, given his rits, the position of Tiandi would eventually be his sooner or later.
Regardless of whether the Taoist Ancestors are willing or not, they must acknowledge Jiang Chen’s status and achievents; they cannot stop Jiang Chen from becoming Tiandi. So, directly recognizing Jiang Chen is also the best choice for the Taoist Ancestors.
Avoid making a scene in the future that would embarrass everyone.
Jiang Chen has already beco a major force, destined to beco the true Tiandi of the Prehistoric World. No matter who it is, even the Heavenly Dao, anyone daring to obstruct him will be crushed into fragnts.
“Sothing’s wrong with Gonggong!”
Jiang Chen frowned and inford the Taoist Ancestors of the troubles with Gonggong and the hidden dangers at the site of Mount Buzhou.
Imdiately, the Taoist Ancestors’ faces darkened, casting a displeased glare at the Saint of Taiqing.
“Disciple is guilty, please, Master, punish .”
Seeing this, the Saint of Taiqing didn’t dare to argue, hurriedly bowing to plead guilty.
The other saints also followed suit, pleading: “We have failed in our duties, we hope Master will forgive us.”
There’s nothing more to say; such a major oversight at the site of Mount Buzhou, where even Gonggong fell victim to the sches of the Chaos Demigod, is a massive issue. The six saints, as guardians of the Prehistoric World, were completely unaware.
Minorly, they were derelict in their duties; majorly, they were negligent. Regardless, the saints must take responsibility for this affair.
Thinking of the consequences this incident might bring, Hongjun Daozu cast a gaze at the saints filled with anger.
If Jiang Chen hadn’t uncovered this today, by the ti the hidden danger at the site of Mount Buzhou erupted, the Prehistoric World would truly be in imminent danger.
As guardians of the Prehistoric World, if the six saints can’t detect such significant hidden dangers, what use are they?
In considering this matter and reflecting on the actions of these six saints since they were sanctified, Hongjun Laozu couldn’t help but entertain the thought of replacing them.
Before the birth of saints, the Chaos World was flourishing. But since there were saints, the Chaos World has been on a decline.
The constant decline of the Prehistoric World is exactly due to the saints who, as its guardians, have caused it.
The appearance of saints did not protect the Prehistoric World but rather hard it. This made Hongjun Daozu question if the existence of saints is sowhat redundant. Should they be abolished?
“I am very disappointed in you all.”
His heart flooded with extre disappointnt, Hongjun Laozu instead lost his anger, speaking to the six in a very calm tone.
“Master, forgive us, we are guilty!”
The unnervingly calm deanor of Hongjun Daozu made the six saints panic, hastily pleading again. They understood Hongjun Daozu well, knowing that if he appeared angry, there’d still be hope for redemption.
Conversely, the calr Hongjun Daozu appeared, it signaled greater disappointnt, suggesting he thought them beyond redemption and didn’t bother with anger.
“Think carefully, since you beca saints, what contributions have you made to the Prehistoric World, and which disasters have you prevented?”
“Think clearly, and then answer .”
Hongjun Daozu continued to ask calmly.
“This…”
The saints, hearing these words, imdiately fell silent.
During the Quantitative Calamity of the War of the Demons and Gods, although the six saints repaired Heaven and Earth, they couldn’t stop the outbreak of the decisive battle, nor could they protect the Chaos World during the inter-racial wars, which was already a grave sin.
All subsequent actions were rely to atone for their sins; there wasn’t any rit to speak of.
As for the events following, the saints dared not speak of it. It’s not as if they could admit they shattered the Chaos World for their own interests.
Among the six saints, only Empress Nuwa’s culpability was the lightest, but even she wasn’t innocent. As a saint, regardless of the reasons, failing to protect the Chaos World was the greatest original sin.
“Taiqing, you should give up the position of acting head of the Mystic Sect and focus on being the leader of the Human Sect.”
The six saints remained silent, but Hongjun Daozu did not stop. He instructed the Saint of Taiqing who was closest to him.
With just one word from the Daozu, the Saint of Taiqing was stripped of his position as acting head of the Mystic Sect. This was undoubtedly a massive blow to his prestige.
Henceforth, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect would find it difficult to respect him as they did before.
After punishing the Saint of Taiqing, Hongjun Daozu did not punish the other saints but instead said to Jiang Chen:
“I know the saints are guilty, but we will need their help to deal with the Chaos Demigod next. Let them make ands while still carrying their cris, and once the Chaos Demigod is repelled, it won’t be too late to punish them.”
No matter how guilty, the saints remain the strongest force in the Prehistoric World, essential in dealing with the Chaos Demigod.
Therefore, even if Hongjun Daozu truly wanted to replace the saints, it couldn’t be done at this mont.
Regardless of the gravity of their sins, the reconstruction of Mount Buzhou and the resolution of the Chaos Demigod must proceed first.
The reason for punishing the Saint of Taiqing was twofold: to serve as a warning to all saints to better restrain their characters.
Secondly, the Saint of Taiqing, being the head among the saints and acting head of the Mystic Sect, bore the primary responsibility for these matters and thus could not be lightly let off.
