Chapter 640 - 385: Hao Tian's Shenanigans, Heavenly Dao Plugin 2.0
"But isn't our slogan to create chaos against Heaven?"
Another Elder raised a question: "How can we create chaos if we collaborate with the next Heavenly Emperor?"
The Vermilion Bird laughed and said, "Who says you can only create chaos from the outside?"
"A strong Dao Field is often easiest to breach from the inside!"
"The next Heavenly Emperor is innocent, we shouldn't go this far!" [Elder Xuan Niao] Di Jun couldn't bear it any longer and spoke up with some fairness.
"Oh, isn't this just a hypothetical premise of our project?"
The Vermilion Bird said unconcernedly, "With so many discussion groups and countless projects, who knows how the Heavenly Dao will ultimately operate."
"Following the thought of causing chaos to the Heavenly Dao and confusing the shares held by Hong Jun, we are definitely going to create chaos wherever we can."
"This may not necessarily reflect reality."
"But..." [Elder Xuan Niao] Di Jun hesitated to speak further.
He suddenly felt that bringing the Phoenix Clan into his cabinet seemed like a wrong decision.
On the other hand, the "Change the Heaven Group" of the Qilin Clan was earnestly analyzing how to influence the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao through improving its Qi Fortune, thereby achieving racial resurgence.
"Even though the Buzhou Mountain Ancestral Land hasn't been occupied, other regions have been handed over, which is still a humiliation for us!" said the Gold Element Qilin.
"Sigh!" The Wood Qilin sighed.
"I only regret that our strength is insufficient!"
The White Tiger God Monarch shook his head: "Now is not the time for regret; what we need is to revive our clan."
"Although the Ancestral Land is currently adrift in the void, the elites of the Qilin Clan still exist, and the younger generation is our hope."
"Your Heaven Creation combinations and the mode of 'taking advantage' of the Great Dao's opportunities have already been validated; now you should continue to promote it and help the younger members of our clan to grow."
"Right!"
The Water Qilin said, "There's one more thing; we can also seek collaboration with other organizations."
"For example, the Earth Immortals of the Mystic Sect; their path is very similar to ours and they are excellent partners for cooperation."
"After this conference, we can enhance our exchanges with the Earth Immortal Academy."
The Earth Qilin nodded: "I agree with that."
"However, if we are to collaborate, it shouldn't be limited to the Earth Immortals; we should see if we can exchange with other forces as well."
"Especially under the leadership of the Mystic Sect, the Three Pure Ones; they are strong and mighty, and if we could get their support..."
"Are you suggesting we latch onto a bigger one?"
The Gold Qilin hesitated: "We used to be a great clan; overtly latching onto the Three Pure Ones doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
"It would be better to closely follow the footsteps of our Realm Master!"
The Realm Master the Gold Qilin referred to, naturally, is the World Master of the Mountain and Sea World, Fu Xi and Nuwa.
They achieved Dao in the Mountain and Sea World and their connection with Fu Xi and Nuwa is quite good.
The White Tiger God Monarch pondered, then said: "Try all options, cast a wide net, one will eventually succeed."
While the Qilin Clan seriously considered their future, other discussion groups were just having fun.
The "Deceive Heaven Research Group" from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds gathered its members to exchange advanced experiences of "making small moves under the nose of the Heavenly Dao without being discovered."
The "Anti-Heaven Research Group" formed by Shebi Corpse and several Ancestor Witches continued their impressive discussions on how to "reasonably and justifiably oppose unreasonable arrangements of the Heavenly Dao" in the new era.
Even the thirty-three candidates who previously made Kunpeng pound his chest in frustration have now each found their small groups, ready to showcase their talents in the new round of "academic exchanges."
The entire Purple Cloud Palace, rather than being a sacred Dao Field, seemed more like a vibrant academic seminar and future strategic planning center.
"Fellow Daoists, how is your research coming along?"
"The revisions to the scriptures last time were truly enlightening. I wonder what high insights there are this time?"
"I heard Principal Hong recently 'digested' it well. Should we add some 'heavier material' this time?"
Amid their leisure, the Divines exchanged results and jested with each other.
The Purple Cloud Palace was bustling with activity.
Hao Tian found a seat near Li Xuanqing, watching as the head and teachers of the Heavenly Dao Academy busied themselves.
"Your Majesty, is this the exchange meeting of our academy?"
"Hmm, what do you think, have your eyes been opened?"
"A bit." Hao Tian nodded.
Then, tilting his head, he looked at Xuanqing: "Your Majesty, I have a question to ask."
"Go ahead."
"Is Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor a bad person?"
"No."
Xuanqing replied earnestly: "Hong Jun is a thoughtful good person."
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Hao Tian's eyes glinted, and he lowered his head, lost in thought.
As the Divines exchanged insights and the atmosphere grew lively, on the high platform, clouds and mist surged, and the familiar figure of Heavenly Dao Hong Jun appeared once again.
He still sat cross-legged, expressionless, but the Law Chains around him were denser and more intricate than before, as if they had completely integrated with his "Heavenly Dao Body."
The sense of harmony that had been "meticulously crafted" grew even stronger, yet also seemed increasingly unfathomable, like a complex system overlaid with countless programs and patches.
"Principal Hong looks quite spirited!" a Divine shouted, with a hint of teasing in the tone.
"Indeed, it seems our 'after-class assignment' was effective; Principal Hong is really 'learning' it!" another Divine agreed, bringing forth a burst of good-natured laughter.
Xuanqing's figure had appeared below the high platform at some unknown time.
His gaze swept over the Divines, then glanced at "Heavenly Dao Hong Jun," a barely noticeable smile touched the corners of his mouth.
"Fellow Daoists, welcome once more to the Purple Cloud Palace, to participate in the Heavenly Dao Academy's second full-scale Academic Exchange and Future Development Planning Conference." Xuanqing's voice was gentle yet powerful, instantly bringing peace to the hall.
