Chapter 257 - 246: Ziwei Wins Chess Against Tong Tian
It is said that upon the death of the Jade Emperor, all thirty-three Heavenly Divine Artifacts surrendered of their own will, and the armies of the Demon Tribe surged into the Heavenly Court to reorganize the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
Seeing that the Jade Emperor was dead, the deities naturally did not continue their futile resistance and surrendered one after another.
The Tong Tian Sect Master used the Supreme Holy Mother and the Six Souls Banner to capture the Jie Taoist disciples and Bo Yikao of the Ziwei Great Emperor in the Heavenly Court. Now, holding the Six Souls Banner in his hand and calculating that the Jade Emperor was dead, he shook the banner, and hundreds of Jie Taoist disciples surged out from it.
"Bo Yikao pays his respects to the Lord of Spiritual Treasures." Upon seeing the Tong Tian Sect Master, Ziwei Great Emperor naturally did not dare to act rashly and deeply bowed.
"Ziwei Great Emperor, there’s no need for formalities." The Tong Tian Sect Master slightly raised his hand, and Ziwei Great Emperor respectfully stood aside.
The Jie Taoist disciples knelt down one after another below the seat of Tong Tian Sect Master, their heads touching the ground.
"Disciples pay respect to Teacher Tong Tian," the Jie Taoist disciples shouted loudly.
The Tong Tian Sect Master nodded slightly, and the grand hall of Biyou Palace finally felt somewhat lively. Although it could not be restored to its former glory, at least most of his disciples had returned, which comforted him as a master. He slightly lifted his hand and said, "My disciples, rise."
"Thank you, Teacher Tong Tian!" Upon receiving the intent of the Tong Tian Sect Master, the Jie Taoist disciples all stood up.
The Jie Taoist disciples each took their original places and waited for the Tong Tian Sect Master to speak.
The Tong Tian Sect Master said, "The Jade Emperor committed countless injustices and was intolerable to the Heavenly Dao. Today, the Demon Tribe’s Green Emperor and Buddha Ancestor, Victorious Fighting Buddha, overthrew him, truly in accordance with the Heavenly Dao. Remembering our past mentor-disciple relationship, I did not wish for you to fall into a great calamity and have millennia of cultivation turn into empty rewards. This time, the Demon Tribe’s Green Emperor, Sun Wukong, wishes to rebuild the Heavenly Court and will hold the Investiture of the Gods at Mount Qi. You must all devote yourselves wholeheartedly, support the new Heavenly Court, revolutionize the world, and bring equality to all beings under heaven."
