I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 79: Haotian is Dead, Jade Emperor Shall Rise!

A wave of grief and sorrow inexplicably flowed through the hearts of all beings in the Three Realms.

It felt as if the sky was collapsing.

Some powerful immortals were filled with doubt and tried to use their magic to calculate, but they couldn't figure anything out.

In the pure and serene realm of the Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi was delivering a lecture on moral jade texts. Immortal Nanji, Lamp-Igniting Daoist, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Perfected Being Yuding, Heavenly Venerable Daohang, Perfected Being Taiyi, and others were all listening attentively.

As Heavenly Venerable spoke, flowers fell from the sky and a fragrant aroma filled the air, permeating the boundless worlds.

When he reached the most profound part of his speech, Heavenly Venerable suddenly stopped and muttered to himself, "To possess such great wisdom and determination, to actually break free."

Then he said to the immortals below, "Now that the great calamity has begun, all of you should return and recite the true words of morality in silence, only then can you avoid being affected by the calamity."

The immortals of the Chan Sect looked at each other, but they dared not disobey Heavenly Venerable's orders and all said, "We will follow the teacher's orders!"

Afterwards, they dispersed.

After all the immortals of the Chan Sect had left, Daoist Yuanshi turned to the young white crane beside him and said, "Go and prepare the Nine Dragon Sinking Incense Sedan, I am going to the Great Red Heaven Douluo Palace."

"Yes!"

The young white crane didn't dare to delay and quickly went out to prepare the ceremonial procession.

Above the Blood Sea of the Netherworld, on the Yin Mountain.

An old man dressed in white Daoist robes sat on a blood lotus, with a blood-colored cloud of light above his head. Sitting on the cloud of light was a blood god, with forty-eight thousand arms appearing behind him, a very strange sight.

It was the Netherworld River Ancestor!

On the other side, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian sat on the Nine Dragon Cushion, his head lowered, expressionless, blood flowing from all seven orifices, splattering onto his imperial robe, staining it with specks of peach blossoms.

He had already fallen!

The Netherworld River Ancestor burst into laughter, the laughter becoming more and more urgent, with a hint of sorrow and anger.

Then the blood god above his head dispersed, turning into countless blood shadows that captured numerous members of the Asura Clan and submerged into the Blood Sea.

The main body also disappeared along with the blood lotus.

"The Emperor has passed away?!"

The immortals of the Heavenly Court stood dumbfounded on the spot, finding it hard to believe.

Only the True Martial Emperor Monarch furrowed his brows slightly, as if he was calculating something.

Xia Yi was also filled with doubt and uncertainty. After all, Haotian Heavenly Emperor was appointed by the Dao Ancestor himself. How could he have fallen so easily?

He had just become the Star Lord of Heavenly Calamity!

As the saying goes, when the emperor changes, the officials change. If someone else were to become the Heavenly Emperor, he might be sent back to the Clear Sky Prison to sweep the floor again.

At this moment, the corpse of Haotian Heavenly Emperor turned into golden light and dissipated into nothingness. Nine golden dragons flew out from it, roaring deafeningly, shaking the entire Netherworld.

It was the aura of the Chaos Nine Dragons bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, the foundation of the Heavenly Emperor.

Then the nine dragons circled and flew out of the Netherworld, disappearing from sight.

Not long after, the thirty-three layers of the Heavenly Court burst forth with countless colorful lights, illuminating the Three Realms.

Rainbows crisscrossed the heavens, lotus flowers bloomed one after another, and celestial music filled the air.

"Haotian is dead, Jade Emperor shall rise!"

A majestic voice rang out from the Heavenly Court, reaching the ears of all beings in the Three Realms.

"We pay our respects to the Great Emperor!"

On the Blood Sea, all the immortals of the Heavenly Court, Heavenly Soldiers, and Heavenly Generals all paid their respects.

Even the Monster Race, Witch Clan, and Buddhist Gate also paid their respects, bowing to the Great Emperor Jade Emperor, the new Supreme of the Three Realms!

"I am the ruler of the Three Realms, responsible for the rise and fall of all things, the cycle of life and death for all beings in the Six Paths!"

"Appoint the Ten Great Ghost Immortals as the Ten Yama Kings, in charge of the cycle of life and death in the Six Paths!"

"Command King Yama to lead the Buddha's army to guard the Yin Mountain, preventing the Asura Clan from leaving the Blood Sea!"

After issuing these two decrees, the Jade Emperor's presence disappeared.

Xia Yi remained silent for a long time. This Haotian Heavenly Emperor, no, he should now be called the Great Emperor Jade Emperor, had truly cultivated for 1,700 Yuan Meetings. He possessed great wisdom, determination, and divine abilities.

His methods were incredibly powerful, and his schemes were unfathomable.

He had cultivated the "Hongmeng Calamity Scripture" and naturally knew that even though the Heavenly Emperor ruled the Three Realms, even the Saints had to outwardly show respect as "Great Heavenly Venerables," but they were still bound by immense karma.

What kind of divine abilities did Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun possess? They had treasures like the Chaos Bell and the Hetu Luoshu, as well as the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, the Ten Great Monster Saints, three hundred demon gods, and countless demon soldiers.

In the end, they still died and disappeared, without even qualifying for reincarnation.

When the Far Ancient Beast Court was destroyed, many powerful beings of the Primordial Era were unwilling to take up this hot seat.

In the end, it was a young boy recommended by the Three Pure Ones who took the position.

Haotian had no choice but to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

For countless tens of thousands of years, Haotian Heavenly Emperor and Golden Mother Yaochi had secluded themselves, cultivating the Sky Law of the Azure Vault.

Even the Human Sovereign of the mortal world, who controlled the Three Realms, appointed the gods and deprived the Heavenly Court of its power, did not interfere.

It was all to avoid karma.

This also led to the Heavenly Court having little prestige in the Three Realms.

But when the tribulation arrived, the Heavenly Court would rise.

Haotian Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to follow the heavenly decree and make the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect submit.

However, this action also offended Heavenly Venerable Yuan Shi and incurred great karma.

Even if they escape this calamity, they may not be able to avoid the next one.

Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor borrowed the two killing swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, from the Lord of the Nether River, and completely killed one of the Heavenly Emperor's three corpses, thus resolving all karma.

A hero sacrifices their own interests!

At the same time, with the help of the forces of demons, witches, and Buddhism, they shattered the Demon World and expelled all Demon Dao from the underworld, reclaiming control over reincarnation.

It must be known that the foundation of the Three Realms is the cycle of reincarnation.

If one cannot control the cycle of reincarnation, the Heavenly Emperor will be nothing more than a puppet.

If they wait until they are enshrined as gods, the cycle of reincarnation will definitely be controlled by the orthodox gods of the Daoist and Buddhist teachings.

By conferring the ten Yama Kings, they have secured a position in advance.

At that time, no matter how the three teachings compete, the Heavenly Court will have a place.

On the other hand, after receiving the decree from the Great Emperor Jade Emperor, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha made a great vow in front of the Blood Sea of the Underworld:

"Until hell is empty, I will not become a Buddha!"

Then, the underworld shook, and the aura of the Heavenly Dao swept through the entire underworld.

A cloud of merit and virtue manifested and fell into the body of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

Behind their head, the golden wheel of merit and virtue emitted a brilliant light, and within the Buddha's light emerged a majestic Bodhisattva named Tantuo Ksitigarbha, holding a human head banner and the nectar seal, walking into one of the six realms, the Hell Realm, to suppress evil spirits.

Above their head, another Buddha's light flashed, and a Bodhisattva named Baozhu Ksitigarbha emerged, holding a precious pearl and the nectar seal, sitting in one of the six realms, the Ghost Realm.

Another incarnation emerged, named Bao Yin Ksitigarbha, holding a staff and the seal of the wish-fulfilling jewel, sitting in one of the six realms, the Animal Realm.

Another Bodhisattva incarnation emerged, named Chidi Ksitigarbha, holding a vajra banner and the seal of fearlessness, sitting in one of the six realms, the Asura Realm.

Another Bodhisattva incarnation emerged, named Chigai Zhang Ksitigarbha, holding a staff and the seal of vows, sitting in one of the six realms, the Human Realm.

Another Bodhisattva incarnation emerged, named Riguang Ksitigarbha, holding a wish-fulfilling pearl and the seal of preaching, sitting in one of the six realms of reincarnation, the Heavenly Realm.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

After the six incarnations were revealed, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha led a million Buddhist soldiers and stationed themselves behind Yin Mountain, vowing to subdue the Asura clan and make them convert to Buddhism.

"It seems that the Jade Emperor has reached some kind of agreement with Buddhism under the guise of patrolling the mortal realm," Xia Yi pondered in their heart.

Buddhism is suppressing the Asura clan on behalf of the Heavenly Court, preventing them from disturbing the cycle of reincarnation.

In exchange, they are transferring partial control over the cycle of reincarnation.

"Is the Jade Emperor inviting trouble by doing this..."

Since the self-proclamation as gods, Buddhism has flourished, especially after the Journey to the West, reaching its peak.

At that time, even the Ten Yama Kings will have to follow the orders of the Earth Store Bodhisattva. However, for the Emperor, the path of balance is the most important. Whether the immortals prosper and the Buddhas decline, or the immortals decline and the Buddhas prosper, there seems to be no difference.

"Since the flourishing of Buddhism is inevitable, we must prepare early!" Xia Yi gained a lot of Buddhist relics, treasures, and scriptures in this war.

Now that he has entered the Buddhist Gate, he might be able to achieve the position of a Bodhisattva in the future, or at the very least become a golden body Arhat.

After everything was settled, the Heavenly Court's army escorted hundreds of thousands of Asura prisoners of war and returned to the Heavenly Court in a grand manner.

By now, most of the Underworld has been reclaimed, and the Asura clan can only cower in the sea of blood.

Xia Yi, in his transformed state, did not return to the Heavenly Court with the army, but left the Underworld and came to the Earth Immortal realm.

The Earth Immortal realm has a dense spiritual energy, and some of the spiritual mountains and rivers are not weaker than the Heavenly World.

However, most places are relatively mixed, with the presence of worldly qi and extreme yin and evil qi.

Therefore, after most Daoist immortals achieve the position of Celestial Immortal, they choose to pass through the layers of Gangfeng and Leihuo and go to the Heavenly World.

As for those monstrous Monster Kings, they are unable to ascend to the Heavenly World, so they mostly choose to occupy the spiritual mountains and rivers, becoming kings of the mountains, and their cultivation speed is not slow.

Jiuyin Mountain is located at the junction of Nan Zhanbu Zhou and Xi Niuhe Zhou, covering an area of thousands of miles. The entire mountain range is shrouded in thick black clouds, with eerie winds and evil qi soaring.

Such a desolate and dangerous place is naturally not suitable for cultivating the Dao, but for those evil demons, it is a Sacred Land for cultivation.

Xia Yi stepped on the white clouds and entered Jiuyin Mountain.

The mountain is filled with miasma, and one can faintly see deep and dark valleys and caves, as well as spiders, centipedes, and scorpions that are several zhang long, spewing colorful poisonous smoke.

There are also brown corpse qi forming mushroom clouds the size of a mat, which is extremely eerie.

These are some Demonic Cultivators practicing evil techniques and refining zombies.

He arrived at the mountaintop, where he saw a palace covering hundreds of hectares. From time to time, there were soul-stirring screams coming from inside.

"Who dares to trespass into my Green Demon Palace?" A black smoke flew out of the palace, revealing the figure of a demonic cult member. The half-zhang tall green hair behind his head danced wildly, his nails were ferocious and more than half a chi long, and his eyes emitted a green light.

"Jiuyin Mountain clearly belongs to the Tian Shi Sect's demonic rule. When did it become your territory?" Xia Yi chuckled.

"The Tian Shi Sect is arrogant and has provoked the Heavenly Court's punishment. The entire sect has suffered calamity. Who are you?" The green-haired old demon asked with a gloomy voice.

"Who said the Tian Shi Sect has suffered calamity?" Xia Yi raised thirty-six demonic banners behind him, which were precisely the Tian Shi Gathering Demonic Banners.

"So, you are a remnant of the Tian Shi Sect!" The green-haired old demon let out a sinister laugh, his fangs moved, and he shook his head. His yard-long green hair stood straight up, shooting out countless green fire sparks, mixed with many malicious yin thunders.
