Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1582 - 1039 Scold
Chapter 1582: 1039 Scold
"Look at you all, for the sake of petty self-interest, you have stirred the Prehistoric World into a haze of chaos, losing all dignity. Where is there even a trace of the true character of a Taoist immortal?"
As soon as the Taoist Ancestors spoke, they reprimanded everyone first, saying directly that instead of properly retreating from the world to cultivate, they insisted on making waves, thus plunging the Chaos World into disorder.
"We are guilty!"
None dared to contradict, all making their apologies in sincere terror and trepidation.
Seeing them like this, the Taoist Ancestors were far from appeased; on the contrary, they were even angrier. Truth be told, if their making waves had actually resulted in some achievements, the Taoist Ancestors would not have been so angry.
But what was the result? After so many years of troublemaking, not only did they cause the destruction of the Chaos World twice, but in the end, they not only failed to gain any benefit, but they also put themselves in a disadvantageous position.
If they had cultivated in peace and not competed for the Fate of Heaven and Earth, they would have long since achieved Dao and stepped into the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.
But precisely because of their insatiable greed and their insistence on cultivating through Fate, they caused the destruction of Heaven and Earth, making the environment progressively worse day by day. The cultivation became increasingly difficult, and the aspiration to achieve the Dao became nearly an extravagant hope.
Others make a mess to improve their own situation, but they make a mess and end up increasingly shabby.
Faced with such a situation, how could the Taoist Ancestors not be furious? It was truly an anger born of their unwillingness to compete and their hatred for their inaction.
...
Though everyone appeared sincere and frightened on the surface, inwardly, they remained unconvinced. The Taoist Ancestors glanced down and immediately understood their thoughts.
At this moment, no matter how much they had to say, it was difficult to voice it, transforming into a helpless sigh.
"Alas!"
With a long sigh, the Taoist Ancestors no longer looked at the crowd but turned to the Saint of Taiqing and Primordial Heavenly Sovereign seated below, addressing them, "Taiqing, Yu Qing, stand and speak."
The voice of the Taoist Ancestors betrayed no emotion, but the faces of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Saint of Taiqing changed drastically, and they quickly apologized, "Master, your disciples are guilty. We beg for your forgiveness!"
The two naturally knew why the Taoist Ancestors had called upon them to speak; it was clear that it was to secure recompense for Empress Nuwa. Thus, they too were straightforward, offering no defense and readily admitting their wrong.
"You know you are guilty!"
"Is this how I taught you, to gang up with your fellow disciples to bully your junior sister? If word got out, aren’t you afraid it would become a laughingstock to others?"
"Moreover, is it to me that you should apologize? Empress Nuwa is sitting right beside you. Do you not see her?"
Despite their apologies, Honjan Daizu’s attitude towards them did not soften; in front of everyone, he sharply reprimanded them and sternly ordered them to apologize to Empress Nuwa.
"Junior sister, we were wrong!"
Perhaps having been well-prepared, as soon as Honjan Daizu finished speaking, the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign apologized to Empress Nuwa.
This straightforward attitude shocked not only Empress Nuwa but everyone present; they even wondered if the two had been possessed by someone else.
The Saint of Taiqing was one thing, but the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign was known for never bending, never apologizing even if he was truly in the wrong.
Therefore, seeing him bowing his head in apology, and with such sincere attitude, everyone was astounded. Was this the same Primordial Heavenly Sovereign they knew? How could he have changed so much in such a short period?
Even the Upper Qing Saints at the side of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign looked at him with surprised faces.
If during the time of the Investiture of the Gods, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign had been willing to bow and apologize, the relationship between the Sanqing might not have reached the point it is at today.
Being scrutinized by everyone’s strange gazes, if it were the past, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign would have already become enraged, but now, he seemed completely unmoved and sincerely looked at Empress Nuwa, seemingly awaiting her forgiveness. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Seeing this, Honjan Daizu’s eyes also flashed with surprise, but he quickly discerned the reason, casting a profound look towards the Saint of Taiqing at the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s side.
With his cultivation, it was not difficult to see that the change in the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign was related to the Saint of Taiqing.
The characters of the Sanqing each have their flaws, such as the Saint of Taiqing being too scheming and calculating. The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign being innately proud and unwilling to yield. The Upper Qing Saint being rash and impulsive in his actions.
As the master of the Sanqing, Honjan Daizu knew these well. He also knew that the Sanqing were aware of their flaws and had different opinions about them.
The Saint of Taiqing regarded his flaw as a strength and consequently developed the Taishang Forgetting Sentiments Technique, allowing himself to enter a heartless realm to match the indifference of the Heavenly Dao, achieving immortality.
Because of his heartlessness, the Saint of Taiqing could observe problems with the coldest lucidity, and his complex mind thus became his strength, allowing him to calculate others without revealing a thing.
The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign did not believe he had any flaws, viewing his pride as a distinguishing characteristic and taking pride in it.
The Upper Qing Saint recognized his own impulsive and rash behavior, so he chose to cultivate the Sword Path, blending his character into it, making his sword intent fiercer and more potent than before.
Among them, the Saint of Taiqing went further and further. The Upper Qing Saint was not too bad initially, but after the Investiture of the Gods, he realized the principle that being too rigid can lead to breaking, which changed his personality. His sword intent became more subdued and showed signs of reaching a new level.
And the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, who originally had no significant issues, was somewhat influenced by the defection and demonization of the Evil Corpse, which made his personality even more erratic.
