Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 781 Haotian, Haotian

When the Human King and Ji Chang discussed the affairs of Taoist Haotian and mentioned Taoist Haotian's name again and again, another unknown change occurred between heaven and earth.

In the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor, who was arranging various chess pieces on the chessboard, suddenly became uneasy.

For no reason, he felt that this familiar world suddenly gave rise to a sense of strangeness.

Then, a name that had been ignored suddenly emerged in his mind.

"By the way, Taibai, has Longji returned to heaven?"

Princess Longji, this name suddenly emerged in the Jade Emperor's mind.

This is his daughter.

The goddess Yao Chi gave birth to him.

Many years ago, Princess Longji was banished to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor. Now, it is the time of war between heaven and man, and the human race is fighting against heaven.

The war between heaven and humanity is in full swing.

Under such circumstances, Princess Longji, as the daughter of the Jade Emperor, should be recalled to heaven no matter what, to prevent her from falling into the hands of humans and becoming a weapon to threaten the Jade Emperor.

But after the war between heaven and man began, Princess Longji still remained in the human world.

Even the Jade Emperor himself, Princess Longji's father, seemed to have forgotten the existence of Princess Longji.

This is definitely not a normal situation!

"Let me think about it, why did you banish Longji to the mortal world in the first place?"

"Disrespectful?"

"This crime shouldn't be this serious."

"Why did I make such a decision at that time?" The Jade Emperor pondered, and then sporadic memories that he didn't want to be recalled emerged in his mind.

……

"Your Majesty, we found it!" At this time, Ji Chang, who had returned to Chaoge City, finally had Emperor Xin invited to the Lu Tai.

After hearing the name of Haotian from Mengjin Ferry, the monarch and his ministers who were promised the Azure Dragon Decree returned to Chaoge. Then, Ji Chang plunged into the database of Chaoge, and with the help of the computing power of Lu Tai, he performed an unprecedented calculation of all the past data.

Then, he finally found traces of the existence of Taoist Haotian in that extremely thick history and extremely complicated past!

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that the Jade Emperor has an eldest daughter?"

"Princess Longji."

"The Queen Mother became pregnant and gave birth to Princess Longji, but Princess Longji was never liked by the Jade Emperor."

"So, many years ago, the Jade Emperor banished Princess Longji to the mortal world on the grounds of impoliteness. Out of sight, out of mind." Ji Chang said - when he talked about this incident, his emotions were also surging.

"The king does not raise troops in anger. As the Lord of Heaven, the decisions made by the Jade Emperor are even more worthy of consideration."

"As for the Jade Emperor banishing his eldest daughter to the mortal world, the elders of the human race at that time all believed that this was the Jade Emperor's advance planning for changes in the mortal world, so they put a lot of thought into exploring the reasons and deducing the changes involved."

"Princess Longji's residence is also under surveillance and tested."

"With such a big fanfare, why is this record so hard to find?" Emperor Xin asked with a frown.

Such a high-profile action, the manpower, material resources, and energy required, are beyond the imagination of ordinary people - since such a thing has happened, the predecessors of the human race should not have concealed this part of history.

The next moment, the reason came out of Ji Chang's mouth.

"Your Majesty, regarding the demotion of Princess Longji, the elders of the human race spent a great deal of effort to determine that it was a decision made by the Jade Emperor in anger. It was a decision made simply because he hated Princess Longji."

"It has nothing to do with any changes in the world."

"Although it is said that the emperor has no family affairs - but, this is really just a simple family affair."

"So, after confirming this result, those seniors all felt ashamed for wasting manpower and resources."

“So, I pressed this record.”

"Because it did not involve any incidents, the weight of this period of history is also unusually low."

"So when Lu Tai searched for relevant history, he ignored this part of history."

"I have another question." Emperor Xin's voice became smaller because of his silence - to be fair, if at this moment, he and Ji Chang spent a lot of effort to verify something, and found out that what they verified was just other people's family affairs, he would also suppress this process.

"Princess Longji is the eldest daughter of the Jade Emperor."

"In the current battle between heaven and man, the Jade Emperor did not even call anyone back."

"Isn't he afraid that we humans will take his eldest daughter as a hostage?"

"If he doesn't care about his eldest daughter, how dare the other immortals and gods in heaven not care about her?"

"Or does his hatred for the eldest daughter really reach this point?"

"You want to use the power of the human race to kill her by taking advantage of the battle between heaven and man?"

"This is another secret that is difficult to reveal." Ji Chang's expression was also a little strange.

"According to the words left by those human ancestors, Princess Longji was born from the Qi felt by the Queen Mother - and the Qi felt by the Queen Mother was the Qi of Haotian."

After hearing this, Emperor Xin's expression also became strange.

Haotian is a huge name - some people directly equate Haotian with Cangtian, which is another name for Cangtian.

The Queen Mother was inspired by the Qi of Heaven and gave birth to Long Ji.

In the past, this would have been commonplace and no one would have considered it a secret.

But now...

After they learned about the existence of Taoist Haotian, they began to examine Princess Longji's background.

That's quite interesting.

"Is it the Qi of Haotian, or the Taoist Haotian?" At this moment, even with Emperor Xin's courage, he couldn't help but hold his breath, and just signaled to Ji Chang with his eyes, for fear that once his words were spoken, they would be sensed by heaven and man, and he would become mortal enemies with several great masters.

"It's hard to say." Ji Chang also indicated with his eyes, "But whether it's Haotian Qi or Haotian Taoist, they are all inseparable from Haotian Taoist."

Haotian Qi - Before Ao Bing pointed this out, Haotian Qi did not exist among the many ancestral Qis within the heaven and earth.

But when Ji Chang and Emperor Xin returned to Chaoge, Emperor Xin used the Star-Picking Tower to sense the Qi of heaven and earth in an attempt to confirm the existence of Haotian. Then, the Star-Picking Tower clearly sensed the vague Qi of Haotian.

It is dark and vast, vague and boundless, and embraces all things - its existence is similar to any kind of Qi between heaven and earth, but they are also different.

The feeling it gives people is that this Haotian Qi is just like the real sky, which has existed between heaven and earth since time immemorial.

As for this Qi, all living beings between heaven and earth turn a blind eye to it, feel it but do not notice it, and just regard it as a part of heaven and earth.

Until people realized the existence of this thing, then this thing naturally emerged in front of people's eyes and in their consciousness. "Then how should we deal with this matter?" Emperor Xin said.

"I think we should just let things take their own course and pretend we don't know anything." Ji Chang responded - not delving into the existence of Haotian, nor looking for Princess Longji's whereabouts.

Just pretend that Princess Longji doesn't exist, don't try to target her, and don't involve her in this war between heaven and man.

……

"I remember now!"

In the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor also had an extremely awkward look on his face.

When the Qi of Haotian appeared in the heaven and earth, seemingly real and fake, during the investigation of Emperor Xin and others, the Jade Emperor finally remembered why he didn't want to see Princess Longji!

It is precisely because of the Haotian Qi that appears between heaven and earth!

Yao Chi was inspired by this Qi and gave birth to Long Ji, and as the Jade Emperor, he was naturally repelled by this Haotian Qi.

What made it even more unbearable for him was the existence behind the Haotian Qi that seemed to exist and yet not exist.

Whenever he saw Princess Longji, he would think of this misleading and even more painful incident.

Therefore, he found an excuse to demote Princess Longji to the mortal world, so that he could out of sight and out of mind.

Similarly, this memory was also hidden deep in his heart.

But he clearly remembered that after Yao Chi became pregnant, the Haotian Qi had completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

How come now, this Haotian Qi has appeared again between heaven and earth.

"Haotian, does he really exist?" Feeling the extremely 'thin' Haotian Qi, such doubts once again emerged in the Jade Emperor's mind.

Almost instinctively, he wanted to use his Jade Emperor's Qi to cover and devour the Haotian Qi in order to trace the source of this Qi.

But he was also worried that his actions would draw the attention of the entire world to the Haotian Qi.

As he pondered these things, the Jade Emperor's gaze finally fell on the Yaochi again - that was the Taoist temple of the Queen Mother.

Ever since Princess Longji was banished to the mortal world, the Queen Mother returned to Yaochi to go into seclusion. She has not been in seclusion until now, and Yaochi has been sealed off to this day - the Peach Banquet has not been held for a long time.

Thinking about the change in Xi Kunlun's attitude towards him, the Jade Emperor finally opened the door of Yao Chi again.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" In the Yaochi Lake, the Queen Mother stared at the visitor with a graceful posture and cold eyes.

"Could it be that my poor daughter has offended His Majesty again in some way?"

Just as the Jade Emperor expected, the Queen Mother sealed off the Yaochi Lake not because she was really in seclusion, but because she was angry with him, that was all.

"Yao Chi, now, are you still unwilling to give me an answer?"

"What's going on with the Haotian Qi?" The Jade Emperor looked at the Queen Mother in front of him, was silent for a long time, and struggled for a long time before he finally dismissed the fairy attendants and spoke.

"Is this the reason why Your Majesty is so upset and has abandoned my poor daughter in the human world, and why she cannot return to heaven even because of the war between humans today?"

Queen Yao Chi immediately sneered.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to ask about? Is it Haotian Qi?"

"Or Longji's background?"

"Who do you think I am?" Queen Yao Chi was extremely furious.

She had guessed this reason in her heart - but had never been willing to admit it.

For this reason, it is a humiliation to her.

But she never expected that one day, the Jade Emperor would actually ask this humiliating question in front of her.

Over the years, she has never recalled Princess Longji back to heaven - doesn't she know the danger that would come to Princess Longji if she stayed in the human world?
Why didn't she call Princess Longji back?
Isn't it just for the Jade Emperor's face?

The Jade Emperor personally demoted Princess Longji to the mortal world. If she, the Queen Mother, went against the Jade Emperor's order and recalled Princess Longji, and even she, the Queen Mother, did not take the Jade Emperor's order seriously, then wouldn't the Jade Emperor's already limited reputation be completely plunged into the mud?

So, over the years, she has been angry and has been enduring.

She has been convincing herself that the Jade Emperor is just too overwhelmed by the situation in the world, so he is unaware of other things.

She was even deceiving herself. Princess Longji was demoted to the mortal world because it was a sacrifice that the Jade Emperor had to make in order to maintain the "rules" of heaven.

But now... all the fantasies are shattered.

The hands of the Queen Mother of the Yao Chi fell to her waist as if powerless.

Then, a long sword appeared at her waist.

The next moment, the Jade Emperor's expression suddenly changed - the bright and brilliant sword light was reflected in his expression.

Years of fantasies, years of doubts, years of unwillingness were all completely vented out under this sword.

For the Jade Emperor, this was a sword that could not be stopped or avoided.

Because no matter if he tried to stop it or to avoid it, it would only expose the turmoil in Yaochi to the world - and by that time, the Jade Emperor would be even more embarrassed.

So, under this sword, the Jade Emperor chose to take it head-on, allowing the sword to fall on his body and tear his flesh and blood, and then he inhaled and exhaled his vital energy to slowly heal the injury.

Watching this scene, Queen Mother's face became more and more angry.

Just as the Jade Emperor was looking at the Queen Mother's expression and wanted to say something else, a voice was heard outside the Yaochi.

"Gengchen, please meet the Queen Mother."

So, without waiting for the Jade Emperor to react, the gate of Yao Chi opened again.

Then, his whole body, wrapped tightly in armor, stepped into the Yaochi calmly.

Looking at Geng Chen in front of him, the Jade Emperor's expression also became cautious.

Gengchen, who was also a powerful man who had achieved Daluo, was one of the faces of West Kunlun - to be more precise, Gengchen was the strongest military force that West Kunlun had displayed in public.

The people from West Kunlun rarely interfere in the relationship between heaven and earth - but every time there are changes between heaven and earth, and someone requests West Kunlun to join in, the Queen Mother of the West will send Gengchen out.

Geng Chen's identity and origins remain a mystery between heaven and earth - many people want to know who is hidden under Geng Chen's armor.

But no one has the ability and confidence to get to the bottom of it, bypassing Geng Chen himself and the many powerful people in West Kunlun.

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother of the West has important matters to attend to. Please ask Queen Yao Chi to return to Kunlun to discuss it." Geng Chen walked forward slowly and bowed to Queen Yao Chi, but he acted as if the Jade Emperor did not exist.

"Eldest sister has come out of retreat?" Upon hearing this, Queen Mother of the West was delighted. She tidied her clothes and accessories, and after calming herself down, she disappeared into the Yaochi Lake with Geng Chen.

At the same time, several saints between heaven and earth all smiled, then stretched out their hands and pinched the void, as if they were fixing something.
