Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

Chapter 565 Heaven and Earth Rejoice Together? A Grand Feast for Enlightenment!

When Yaochi saw Haotian become a saint, her eyes were filled with joy and pride.

"Your Majesty... we have finally waited for this day."

Yaochi looked delighted as she said this.

Soon, Haotian descended from the sky, surrounded by holy light, his aura completely different from before.

"Ha ha!"

Haotian burst into excited laughter, his whole being brimming with confidence.

"Now I am also a saint."

"No longer the Heavenly Emperor who needed to be cautious and walk on thin ice."

Earlier, during a meeting at Zixiao Palace, the Heavenly Court reopened, and he was appointed as the new Heavenly Emperor.

Even so, Haotian knew very well what was going on.

Without the cultivation of a sage, it would be difficult for him to truly rule the Three Realms.

After all, in the current primordial world, all the major religions and races have sages presiding over them.

If his cultivation level is insufficient, no one will believe him, and he will not have any reverence for the Heavenly Court.

But now that he has attained sainthood, that's a different story.

Just as Haotian was pondering, Yaochi and all the other celestial beings from the Heavenly Court arrived in droves.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on attaining sainthood!"

"Congratulations, Heavenly Emperor!"

"Now our Heavenly Court also has a sage presiding over it!"

"..."

The gods and immortals offered their congratulations incessantly, their hearts filled with joy.

Haotian nodded, then, as if remembering something, immediately gave the order:

"Now I, the Heavenly Emperor, have attained sainthood."

"May heaven and earth rejoice!"

"Guards, descend to the mortal realm immediately and extend invitations to all the great sages and powerful beings of the primordial world to come to my Heavenly Court for the grand feast of enlightenment!"

"I, the Emperor, will make this known to the entire primordial world."

"From this day forward, our Heavenly Court will no longer be inferior to any other."

Upon hearing Haotian's order, all the celestial beings and gods of the Heavenly Court obeyed and began to act.

Soon, invitations were sent from the Heavenly Court to all parts of the prehistoric world.

The Three Pure Ones of Penglai Immortal Island, the Sage Nuwa of Nuwa Palace, the two Sages Jieyin and Zhunti of the Western Sect, the Sage Niu Ba of the Bull Clan, the Emperor Huangtian and Zhen Yuanzi of the Human Clan...

After receiving the invitation, many saints and great beings decided to go.

After all, Haotian's status and position are now vastly different from what they used to be.

In any case, they are all saints, and also the rulers of the Heavenly Court.

We should still give them this much face!

Inside the main hall of Fengdu City in the Netherworld.

Niu Ben also received an invitation from the Heavenly Court. After reading it, he smiled slightly and muttered to himself:

"Haotian has finally achieved sainthood!"

"Thinking about it, it wasn't easy!"

After the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the Heavenly Court was damaged.

Subsequently, Dao Ancestor Hongjun summoned all the sages of the heavens to Zixiao Palace to discuss the matter of reopening the Heavenly Court and establishing a new Heavenly Emperor.

At that time, all the major religious sects recommended their own members to become the new Heavenly Emperor.

It was Niu Ben who took the initiative to suggest that Haotian become the new Heavenly Emperor.

Finally, Dao Ancestor Hongjun arranged the layout and gave the position of Lord of Heaven to Haotian.

After becoming the ruler of the Heavenly Court, Haotian worked with Yaochi to repair the damaged Heavenly Court. Subsequently, the Heavenly Court was able to reopen, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Court's fortune, Haotian raised his cultivation to the peak of Quasi-Saint.

In the previous great war between the Xuanhuang Realm and the Yellow Emperor, Haotian took the lead in order to accumulate enough merits.

Although he killed many quasi-saints in the Xuanhuang Realm, he was in grave danger several times and almost perished in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Niu Ben naturally saw all of this.

"I'll go there myself when the time comes!"

"They said they were just going to support Haotian!"

Niu Ben said calmly, then composed himself and stopped thinking about it.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day for the grand banquet held in Heaven has arrived.

The Heavenly Court was exceptionally radiant on this day.

Thirty-three heavenly palaces and seventy-two grand halls... were all decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, with celestial music playing and auspicious clouds swirling around.

Soon, powerful figures from all sides arrived one after another.

The Three Pure Ones arrived together. The Supreme Sage had a calm expression, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable remained majestic, and the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at the Heavenly Court's layout with curiosity.

After the Three Pure Ones, the sage Nuwa arrived riding on a cloud, surrounded by the aura of creation, and was incomparably holy.

Next came the two saints of the Western religion, Jieyin and Zhunti, who arrived side by side.

The face of the Sage Amitabha was tinged with sorrow, while that of the Sage Zhunti was smiling.

Behind the two were Ananda, Kasyapa, and other disciples of the Western Sect!

After the Western religion saints arrived, Niu Ba and his son Niu Ben arrived together.

Upon seeing Niu Ben arrive, the many sages and powerful figures present naturally turned their attention to him, exchanging pleasantries incessantly.

After all, Niu Ben is currently the number one among all the saints in the primordial world.

Haotian sat high on the imperial throne, surrounded by holy light, exuding extraordinary aura. Yaochi stood beside him, a smile on her face.

After all the saints had arrived, Haotian slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the saints and other living beings:

"I am deeply grateful to all my fellow Daoists for coming from afar."

"Today's banquet serves two purposes: first, to celebrate my attainment of sainthood, and second, to express my gratitude to all fellow Daoists for your support and love for the Heavenly Court over the years."

Then, Haotian announced the start of the grand feast.

The saints took their seats, and the fairy maidens offered them divine fruits and wine, creating a lively atmosphere.

Niu Ben sat beside the Three Pure Ones and said calmly:

"Master, with Haotian's attainment of enlightenment this time, the Heavenly Court's structure is now completely stable."

Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, the Supreme Sage nodded slightly and replied:

"The Heavenly Court rules over the Three Realms, but without a sage to oversee it, it is indeed difficult to win the hearts and minds of the people."

"Haotian's attainment of Dao is also a good thing for the prehistoric world."

Before Niu Ben could reply, the Sage of Heaven suddenly interjected:

"It's a good thing, but Haotian will probably be even more arrogant after he proves himself."

"Look at him, his tail is practically wagging in the air."

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Niu Ben couldn't help but smile helplessly.

At this moment, the Primordial Celestial Venerable said calmly:

"Back when the teacher was choosing the new Heavenly Emperor at Zixiao Palace, wasn't it you, Niu Ben, who recommended Haotian to be the ruler of Heaven?"

Niu Ben nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed with emotion and said:

"His success today is largely thanks to you, Niu Ben!"

"If he hadn't become the ruler of the Heavenly Court back then, the subsequent attainment of sainthood wouldn't have fallen to him."

The Supreme Lord and Tongtian could not deny what the Primordial Celestial Venerable said.

Upon hearing this, Niu Ben remained calm, merely smiling slightly without saying anything more.

When the Western Sect's Jieyin and Zhunti Saints saw Haotian's spirited appearance, a strange light flashed in their eyes.

"What a pity!"

"If only Ksitigarbha had gained more merits in the previous great battle against the Xuanhuang Realm!"

"In that case, the protagonist of today's ascension to sainthood is not Haotian!"

Zhunti muttered to himself, feeling very resentful whenever he thought about this matter.

And so the feast continued.

Halfway through the banquet, Haotian took the initiative to approach Niu Ben, bowed slightly, and said:

"Senior Brother Niu Ben, I owe my success today to your recommendation in Zixiao Palace back then."

"This cup is for my senior brother!"
