Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1580: One thousand thirty-eight arrange seats

"You see, it’s just that you’ve been too low-profile, and had you been a little more assertive, you wouldn’t be in the situation you are today."

After a long silence, Hongjun Daizu finally spoke with a hint of amusement. With a little thought, he understood what was going on.

It must have been that Empress Nuwa was usually so low-key that everyone was unaware of her strength, assuming she was far inferior to the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

It was precisely because of this that others dared to join forces with the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign without hesitation, coming to pressure Empress Nuwa.

Had Empress Nuwa been more assertive in her daily conduct, revealing some of her strength appropriately, the other great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect would surely not have dared to confront her outright, fearing they might step on a tiger’s tail.

Therefore, it is fine to hide one’s strength, but one should not excessively conceal it. Playing the pig to eat the tiger, if done for too long, one might not truly become a pig, but will certainly be regarded as one.

"Master, I’ve already been bullied like this, and you still have the mood to tease your disciple?"

"Please, Master, stand up for me!"

Empress Nuwa, feeling a bit embarrassed by what Hongjun Daizu said, couldn’t refute it. She could only repeatedly voice her complaints, asking the Taoist Master to stand up for her.

"What Taiqing and Yu Qing did was indeed wrong. Besides, the matter of the Human Race also needs to be resolved, to avoid dragging it out and causing even greater chaos."

"Since that’s the case, let me intervene personally and summon everyone here to properly discuss the terms and prevent the recurrence of the events of the Investiture of the Gods."

Hongjun Daizu thought for a moment and spoke out. The issue with the Human Race was escalating, and he worried that if it got out of hand, everyone would become enraged and reckless, potentially destroying the perfectly stable Three Realms.

His worry was not unfounded, as it was not the first time his disciples were experienced in destroying the Chaos World.

To prevent the destruction of the Three Realms and also to stand up for Empress Nuwa, Hongjun Daizu decided to personally intervene, calling everyone together to negotiate a set of guidelines, to keep the situation within an acceptable range.

...

......

The clear and melodious sound of the Dao Bell echoed in the hearts of all the great Divine Transcendents Between Heaven and Earth, its reach so extensive that it not only covered the Three Realms and All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds but also enveloped the vast, endless expanse beyond the heavens into the Chaos.

Instantly, all the great Divine Transcendents in Prehistoric World knew that the Taoist Ancestor was summoning them to the Zixiao Palace for a discussion.

The great Divine Transcendents of other forces paid no mind to the bell’s sound, but those from the Mystic Sect, no matter what they were doing, immediately stopped upon hearing the melodious toll and hastily made their way towards the Zixiao Palace beyond the skies.

At that moment, various streaks of brilliant light swiftly crossed the sky. The seldom seen great Divine Transcendents were now all emerging in quick succession, vanishing into the Chaos beyond the heavens.

When the Taoist Master summons, which disciple of the Mystic Sect dares not to go?

Thanks to the Taoist Master, the normally desolate stretches of Chaos were now bustling, filled with figures. In just a moment, the number of arrivals was no less than tens of thousands.

Not all of these individuals were great Divine Transcendents, but even the weakest among them was a Quasi-Saint; the Innate Dao Sovereigns did not have the prestige to be here.

Apart from the great Divine Transcendents, the Quasi-Saints also received a summons from the Taoist Ancestor.

After all, the Three Realms were now so frail that even a Quasi-Saint could destroy them. To the Taoist Ancestor, Quasi-Saints too were unstable factors, which is why he invited them as well.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the edge of the Chaos, there were already many figures in front of him. However, since he was not on good terms with most of the great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, no greetings were exchanged. Everyone proceeded in silence, full of their own thoughts, hastening towards the Zixiao Palace.

There was no need for arduous searching; since the Taoist Master had summoned them, the Zixiao Palace no longer concealed its tracks. Deep in the Chaos, wisps of purple light shimmered intermittently, visible to all.

Without doubt, that was the Zixiao Palace. By simply heading towards the direction of the purple light, one could reach it.

Midway, Jiang Chen encountered acquaintances – Tianwei Dao Ren and other notable Divine Transcendents. They were allies siding with Jiang Chen. On seeing them, he did not dare to be careless, quickly going up to greet them.

And through their conversation, Jiang Chen also learned about the reason behind the Dao Ancestor’s summons. Empress Nuwa had filed a complaint against the Saint of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, and others.

Understanding the situation, Jiang Chen roughly guessed the purpose behind the Taoist Ancestor’s summons, which undoubtedly related to the affairs of the Human Race.

Being entities of immense power, even if they couldn’t traverse the void in the Chaos, each had their own unique methods, capable of accelerating to unimaginable speeds.

Thus, in a very short time, Jiang Chen and the others arrived at the Zixiao Palace. However, they were not the first ones to arrive; several had already been waiting inside.

Like the Six Saints and some other reclusive powerhouses dwelling in the Chaos because they were closest, they were the first to arrive.

"Greetings to the Empress, greetings to the Master!"

Walking straight into the Zixiao Palace, Jiang Chen saw Empress Nuwa sitting on her cushion, meditating with her eyes closed, and the Upper Qing Saints, and quickly went up to pay his respects.

"Hmm!"

Empress Nuwa and the Upper Qing Saints nodded, indicating that he should find a place to sit down.

The seating in the Zixiao Palace was very deliberate; the spot one took the first time they came to the Zixiao Palace would be their spot thereafter.

The seats at the front were exclusively for the Six Saints. Following them were the designated areas for notable Divine Transcendents such as Red Cloud, Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Taiyi, Di Jun, and so on, with the rest of the Zixiao Palace’s three thousand guests seated behind them.
