The Heaven quietly floated above the ancestral court. The news of Celestial Venerable Huo's betrayal and murder of the newly ascended Celestial Venerable Yin and Celestial Venerable Green Dragon caused a commotion in the Heaven. However, when news of Celestial Venerable Huo's heinous crimes spread, everyone was relieved.
Even if there were any rumors in the Heaven, they didn't cause much of a stir. This was because Yan Yazi personally ascended to the Heaven and apologized to the Haotian Emperor. He said that he was willing to bear the sins of his master, Celestial Venerable Huo.
The Haotian Emperor appreciated his filial piety and loyalty, so he was merciful and forgave him, allowing him to bury Celestial Venerable Huo. He also appreciated Celestial Venerable Huo's contributions to the world and the Heaven. Even though he was stripped of his title, he still retained the title of Celestial Venerable and buried with the rites of a Celestial Venerable.
However, Celestial Venerable Huo died without a complete corpse. Yan Yazi casually found someone who looked similar to Celestial Venerable Huo and placed him in a coffin filled with treasures.
Yan Yazi then built a mausoleum to bury the fake Celestial Venerable Huo. He fainted from crying in front of the mausoleum several times. He even wanted to commit suicide to accompany Celestial Venerable Huo in the mausoleum so that his master wouldn't be lonely.
The civil and military officials in the Heaven sighed. They all said that Celestial Venerable Huo had accepted a good disciple who was as loyal as Celestial Venerable Huo back then.
Everyone hurriedly went forward to block him. Only then did he not do anything stupid.
The Heaven was in mourning as Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable Yin, and Celestial Venerable Green Dragon were buried.
Celestial Venerable Yin died without a complete corpse, so it was a cenotaph. Celestial Venerable Green Dragon only had a head left. The Haotian Emperor pitied his loyalty and ordered people to use divine metal to forge a body for Celestial Venerable Green Dragon and sew it together with his head.
On the day of the burial, the Haotian Emperor personally came and wept. He held the coffin and wept. The civil and military officials also wept. In the end, the seven most senior officials in the Heaven advised the Haotian Emperor to take care of himself for the sake of the people of the world. Only then did the Haotian Emperor stop grieving.
After the funeral, the Haotian Emperor bestowed more rewards. He promoted the Red Deity Qi Xiayu as the Celestial Venerable of the Southern Heaven, with Yan Yazi as her assistant. The West Deity became the Western Celestial Venerable, while the Green Deity of the Eastern Sky became the Eastern Celestial Venerable. The East Pole became the resting place of the retired Grand Emperor Taichu.
The Haotian Emperor also appointed a new North Deity. He promoted Heavenly Venerable Tai Yin to be the Heavenly Venerable of Northern Heaven and Heavenly Venerable Yang to be the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Realm.
For a moment, there was an uproar in Heaven. Some people were happy, while others were sad.
After the Haotian Emperor bestowed rewards, he returned to the palace. Someone presented a jade box to him. The Haotian Emperor waved his hand and dismissed the Golden Guards around him. He opened the jade box and saw the head of Emperor Lang Xuan's reincarnation, Yu Cangqi, inside.
The Haotian Emperor smiled and said, "Brother Lang Xuan, how have you been?"
In the jade box, the head of Lang Xuan's reincarnation opened its eyes and said, "The winner takes all, Your Majesty. Why do you have to say so much? Just send me on my way. "
The Haotian Emperor laughed loudly. "The retired Grand Emperor knows that I'm suspicious by nature, so he actually kept your soul sealed in your head to dispel my doubts. Brother, do you hate the retired Grand Emperor for doing this? "
Lang Xuan said, "The imperial family is heartless, how can there be hatred?"
The Haotian Emperor nodded and crushed his bones into ashes. His spirit was sent into the abyss of the Ruins of End to be destroyed. He smiled and said, "I can rest easy now!"
At this moment, a soul of his avatar in Yankang flew over and fused with his primordial spirit.
The Haotian Emperor was enraged and said, "How dare a barbarian from the lower bound humiliate me like this!"
He retracted his soul, and his cultivation and strength increased by quite a bit. He stood up and was about to personally kill the Star Bunting when he suddenly laughed and said, "He's also a talent. If I can recruit him to Heaven, I can appoint him as the Celestial Venerable of the Patriarch Creation Palace. He can sense the loopholes in my technique and can make use of it to perfect it for me. I'll leave this matter to Mu Tianzun. "
He drew a portrait of the Star Bunting and summoned the Jinwu Guards. "Go down to the lower bound and meet Mu Tianzun. Let him find this person and send him to Heaven. I have an important use for him."
The Jinwu Guards nodded and immediately went down.
The Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was still open, and the Jinwu Guards took a day or two to reach Yankang's capital city. They saw that the capital city of Yankang was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.
The Jinwu Guards asked around, and someone said, "Emperor Yanxiu abdicated, and the original Retired Emperor Yanfeng was released after serving his sentence. He ascended to the throne again. The Qin National Division also gave up the position of National Division and gave it to the former National Division, Jiang National Division. The Jiang National Division was also released after serving his sentence. "
A Jinwu Guard laughed and said, "What's there to decorate with lanterns and streamers? It's just a change of emperor and National Division. "
"You don't know."
The people told them and laughed, "The Qin National Division and Emperor Yanxiu had an agreement. When she abdicated in the future, they would get married! During the chaos, Emperor Yanxiu stayed on the throne because of this promise. The ministers of the court repeatedly urged her to open up the imperial harem and select talents to fill it. She wanted to make imperial concubines and empresses so that she could have children to continue the fortunes of the Yankang Kingdom. However, they were all rejected by the emperor. This time, the emperor abdicated because he wanted to marry the Qin National Division! "
The Jinwu Guards looked at each other and probed, "Could this Qin National Division who married the emperor be Mu Tianzun?"
"Isn't that right? The National Division can't marry the emperor. After the emperor abdicates, it will be Princess Xiu. After the National Division retires, it will be Mu Tianzun who can marry the princess. "
Someone told them, "The Celestial Venerable said that after marrying Princess Xiu, he will return to the Surging River to be a cowherd and no longer care about the troubles of the world!"
The Jinwu Guards secretly discussed and said, "Mu Tianzun is going to retire. The one in power in Yankang now is not him, but Emperor Yanfeng and the Jiang National Division. How are we going to explain this to His Majesty? Who can capture the person in this painting? "
"Mu Tianzun retiring after his marriage is of great importance. One of you go back first and report this to His Majesty. We will meet Emperor Yanfeng and the Yankang National Preceptor and ask them to capture this person. "
Thus, a Jinwu Guard hurriedly left.
