Chapter 87 This Heaven Can't Do Without You

Just when Yang Jian was entangled in the chaos on Jinao Island.

Something closely related to his destiny was taking place in the sky.

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

Taibai Star Lord has just reported his trip to the lower world to Haotian.

The original plan to help Emperor Yi's second son Wei Zhongyan ascend the throne failed.

Three thousand heavenly soldiers were almost killed by the incarnation of the devil.

If it weren’t for the fact that Nuwa goddess stepped in at the last moment to resurrect the three thousand heavenly soldiers.

This time I really lost everything.

Of the four Taoists from Dongsheng Shenzhou that he brought out of heaven, only half of them returned at this time.

The other half was broken by Yang Jian before, so Taibai Star Lord took it back to heaven for healing and it survived.

The other three Taoists originally wanted to help Yuan Futong counterattack Chaoge.

With the help of the fragments of the armor of the demon incarnation and the remaining will contained in them, Yuan Futong sacrificed 100,000 troops and re-summoned the ancient demon incarnation.

Who could have imagined that Yang Jian would take action and beat the three Taoists to pieces.

Yuan Futong also fled back to the northern border in a panic, and the Heavenly Court lost control of him.

Even the Third Prince, who was borrowed from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea by Taibai Xingjun, was held in Yuan Futong's hands and he was unwilling to hand him over.

How dare a mere mortal disobey Heaven!
Taibai Star Lord wanted to mobilize the heavenly soldiers again to suppress Yuan Futong.

"Only this?"

Emperor Haotian opened his eyes a little, and tremendous pressure descended with his gaze.

His figure is as tall as a mountain. He sits on the throne and looks down upon all beings in the three realms.

But at this moment, there was only Taibai Star Lord in front of him, and all the creatures in the three realms resisted his gaze.

Taibai Xingjun was trembling with fear. He sensed the displeasure in the words of the Emperor of Heaven and said hurriedly, "Reporting to the Emperor of Heaven, I am incompetent and have just accomplished nothing. I resign my position as Xingjun."

"Hey~"

Haotian sighed inexplicably.

Taibai Star Lord became more and more frightened and dared not look up.

The next moment, he felt a sudden weight on his shoulders.

Looking back, Haotian had already walked down from the throne and came behind him.

Haotian patted Taibai Xingjun on the right shoulder to show encouragement: "Chang Geng, don't blame yourself like this. If it weren't for you running around for the past ten thousand years, the Heavenly Palace would be even more dilapidated than it is now. The four seas dragon clans have long had second thoughts and have been thinking about welcoming back the ancestor dragon to set up their own clans. The Ten Kings of Hell in Fengdu also look down on my makeshift team.

If you leave, won't it be just me and the Queen Mother who will be left in Heaven?"

"Hey~ This heaven can't do without you!"

Haotian sighed again.

"Chang Geng is unworthy of the Emperor's appreciation. His plans have come to nothing. Please punish me, Emperor!"

Taibai Xingjun, whose real name is Li Changgeng, practices Taoism in Dongsheng Shenzhou and has been a member of the Heavenly Court for nearly ten thousand years.

He recalled the sad past, tears suddenly streamed down his face, and he bowed down again.

Haotian hurriedly helped him up and consoled him, "It is because I, the Emperor of Heaven, am incompetent that no one in the Three Realms looks up to my Heavenly Court. There is no one available in Heavenly Court. Even if you, Chang Geng, have all kinds of abilities, those saints and great sects, the ancient emperors, and the ancient immortals and gods from all over the world will not show any mercy to you. Naturally, nothing can be accomplished!"

The king and his minister immediately began to feel sorry for each other.

It's really pitiful.

Waiting for the bitterness in both of their hearts to fade away.

Haotian waved his sleeves, summoned the female officials from heaven, and headed to Yaochi.

Yaochi is where the Queen Mother lives.

After meeting the Queen Mother, Haotian dismissed the female fairies on his left and right, leaving only Li Changgeng.

When Li Changgeng was confused, he suddenly heard the sound of water.

Turning around, he suddenly discovered that in the center of the Yaochi Lake, there was an extremely beautiful woman playing in the water.

Haotian and the Queen Mother both looked into the pool with doting eyes.

Li Changgeng recognized the woman in the pool. She was the younger sister of Emperor Haotian, named Yao Ji.

Yao Ji slowly stood up from the pool, and before her naked body was exposed, pieces of clothing automatically emerged one by one.

When he came closer, he was already dressed properly.

She said happily, "Brother, how come you have time to come to Yaochi to see me? You have been sighing in the Lingxiao Palace the whole time, and you didn't even care about my previous experience on earth."

The Queen Mother reached out her hand and patted Yao Ji's head, scolding her, "You silly girl, your brother is the Lord of the Three Realms, and the burden of all living beings in the Three Realms rests on him. Your tribulation was personally handled by Taibai Xingjun, so there is no reason for it to be unexpected." Yao Ji covered her head and complained to Haotian, "Brother, please take care of your sister-in-law. When you were not around, she bullied me every day. Originally, we agreed to study the transplantation of peaches to the heavens, but sister-in-law made me dig the Nine Heavens Xiran all day long, leaving me covered in dirt."

Haotian smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I will talk to the Queen Mother and I will not let you dig the soil in the future. How about applying fertilizer instead?"

Fertilize!

When Yao Ji thought about having to deal with the feces of those ancient ferocious beasts, her face turned pale and she shook her head, saying no.

Haotian asked sternly, "When you were reincarnated and came down to earth to experience tribulations, what did you do in Dongsheng Shenzhou? Do you remember?"

"This~"

Yao Ji hesitated, feeling guilty, and did not dare to look at Haotian.

Li Changgeng's expression changed. Haotian would never ask these questions for no reason.

There must be something wrong.

He was in charge of Yao Ji's reincarnation and tribulations in the underworld. Because Yao Ji's cultivation was shallow and her Taoist skills were terrible, she relied on the elixir that the Emperor of Heaven obtained from the Tushita Palace to reach the celestial realm.

Although becoming an immortal can lead to immortality, it does not mean that one is free from worries. There are still minor calamities every five hundred years and major calamities every three thousand years.

If you fail to get through it even once, you will end up with a terrible outcome.

Yao Ji encountered a great calamity that occurs once every three thousand years, and could only avoid it by taking a back door and reincarnating.

He remembered that she had two children with a mortal, a boy and a girl.

But~~
"Chang Geng, you were the one who took care of my sister's tribulations. Do you know anything about her fertility?"

Haotian's sudden question interrupted Li Changgeng's memories.

"Old minister, old minister, I know."

Li Changgeng was conflicted, but facing Yao Ji's pleading eyes, he hardened his heart and told her the truth.

"Oh? Then why haven't I heard you say that? Could it be that you and Yao Ji are conspiring to deceive me?"

Haotian's tone was calm, but the surging waves hidden in it suddenly turned into nine-day thunder.

"Crackling~"

Thunder raged from the sky, but was firmly blocked by the magic circle set up by the Heavenly Court.

The sound of thunder made Li Changgeng's heart skip a beat. In the ten thousand years that he had worked with the Emperor of Heaven, he deeply understood that any question that Haotian wanted to ask must have the answer in his mind.

"I did give birth to two children. Originally, I was just lonely for a long time and wanted to try the human relationship between man and woman. Who knew that a mere mortal could actually make my divine body conceive? After I got tired of playing with him, I personally extracted the soul of that mortal named Yang Tianyou and refined his spirit!
How could those two mortal offspring be worthy of my noble divine body? They are my stains, so when Taibai Xingjun found me and wanted to take me back to heaven, I crushed them to death!"

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, Yao Ji calmly told the truth.

"Did you really kill those two children yourself?"

Haotian asked.

"I~", Yao Ji glanced at Taibai Star Lord and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he did not follow her instructions?

She bit her lip lightly. "After all, they are my own flesh and blood. I cannot do that to them. I asked Taibai Xingjun to smash the souls of the two children to prevent them from falling into endless reincarnation."

The pressure came to Li Changgeng.

Li Changgeng suddenly felt as if he had returned to the time when he was still a mortal ten thousand years ago. He felt as if his body, which had long since turned into an immortal, was covered with cold sweat.

When I reached out and touched it, there was no sweat, just coldness.

"I was soft-hearted for a moment and did not kill the two children. I only took them away from Dongsheng Shenzhou and then entrusted them to a family in Nanzhanbuzhou.

What I am thinking is that the Southern Continent is not as prosperous as the Eastern Continent, so I will definitely live a mediocre life as a mortal and nothing will happen~"

After Li Changgeng finished speaking, he saw Yao Ji's eyes opposite him were filled with anger as if they were about to spit fire.

"Xingjun! You have practiced Taoism for thousands of years, why are you still as sentimental as a mortal?"

Yao Ji blamed him, she turned to look at Haotian: "Brother, send me two people, I will go down to the mortal world right now to extract the souls of the brother and sister and refine their spirits. The blood of ancient gods like us cannot be lost among these mortals, which will only increase the cause and effect."

"The old minister is incompetent!"

Li Changgeng bowed again, sighing in his heart. He could only hope that the brother and sister had left and would not be found by Yao Ji.

"No, Chang Geng, you are not incompetent, on the contrary, you are doing very well~"

Haotian reached out his hand to help Li Changgeng up, and couldn't help laughing: "My Heavenly Court has been weak for a long time. If it weren't for Changgeng, there would be no chance today!"

Yao Ji's eyes were filled with shock, and she had a bad feeling in her heart: "Brother, what do you mean, are you going to let the blood of the gods circulate in the world?"

"Crack~"

The sudden heavy blow sent Yao Ji flying, her long black hair flying in disarray.

"Brother~ hit me!"

She got up from the ground, covering her cheek in disbelief, and a huge palm print appeared on her fair face.
