Chapter 385: Hao Tian's Shenanigans, Heavenly Dao Plugin 2.0
The gods received the Dharma Decree, and all of them were thrilled, setting off one after another, heading towards the Land of Infinite deep within Chaos.
This time, it was different from the initial conference, where they were a bit apprehensive or cautiously observing.
Having experienced the blessing of the Heavenly Emperor's reign and the Heavenly Dao Academy, the gods now appeared gleeful and delighted.
In groups or alone, they transformed into colorful streaks of light, surging forward into Chaos one after another.
In no time, the Endless Chaos was resplendent with divine light and flowing Dao charm, bustling with activity.
Before long, the grand procession of light arrived near the Purple Cloud Palace.
However, in front of the majestic palace gates, there was a slightly incongruous sight.
A handsome, rosy-lipped, white-toothed child stood there with an unusually serious little face, bearing a conspicuous sign on his shoulder.
The sign, made of an unknown Divine Wood, was inscribed with flamboyant, large characters: "Heavenly Dao Committee's Fee Collection, Pay As You See Fit!"
The child's other small white hand tightly clutched a Treasure Tripod.
"Hey? Isn't this Yujing Academy's Hao Tian?" A sharp-eyed divine being who just arrived immediately recognized the child's identity.
His gaze swept over the sign, and he couldn't help but chuckle, taking out a crystal clear, glowing Ginsengfruit from his sleeve and handing it over.
Seeing this "income," Hao Tian's initially tense little face barely managed to muster a smile, and he crisply said, "Greetings, President Zhen Xing!"
The visitor was none other than Zhen Yuanzi, Venerable Star of Five Towns Temple. He chuckled as he looked at Hao Tian, curiously asking, "Why are you on duty here? Were you perhaps punished by Yang Mei Daoist of Yujing Academy to do hard labor?"
"Hao Tian must have caused trouble again!" Red Cloud Daoist, who followed behind Zhen Yuanzi, said with a smile while also remembering to take out a Fire Date as a fee to drop into the Treasure Tripod.
Hao Tian heard this and vehemently denied it, "No! I didn't cause any trouble!"
"How could you not?" Another passing divine being, seemingly very familiar with Hao Tian, unreservedly exposed him:
"I visited Yujing Mountain Scenic Area a while ago and personally saw Yang Mei Daoist chasing you with a broom!"
"That scene, tut tut!"
Hao Tian's fair cheeks immediately flushed red, with blue veins bulging on his forehead, clearly hitting a sore spot.
He stiffened his neck and loudly retorted, "Our business at Yujing Academy, how can you say it was a chase? Clearly, the President was carefully teaching me the Escape Technique, conducting practical training!"
Then followed some vague and unintelligible words.
Such as "a bunch of improper divine beings," "you all just wait and see," or "I, Hao Tian, will sooner or later regain this dignity."
This prompted the surrounding divine beings, who had arrived, to laugh heartily, all bursting into uproarious laughter.
For a moment, outside the solemn Purple Cloud Palace, a lively and cheerful atmosphere filled the air.
When this group of divine beings, still smiling, entered the Purple Cloud Palace, Hao Tian stood alone at the entrance, feeling increasingly indignant the more he thought about it.
[Don't be angry, don't be angry, anger harms the body, at least I managed to trick a big pile of entrance fees today!]
Hao Tian earnestly comforted himself in his heart, and the expression on his small face finally relaxed a bit.
Just at this moment, from afar, Mysterious Light surged, and Daoqi filled the air, as the Immortals of the Mystic Sect came together.
At their head were the Three Pure Ones, followed closely by Yaochi Golden Mother, Jieyin, Nuwa, Netherworld Emperor (Ming River), Taiyi, and other ancestral figures of various dharma lineages of the Mystic Sect, along with numerous high-ranking Daluo Golden Immortals and Taiyi Upper Immortals.
Seeing this formation, Hao Tian's previously somewhat dejected eyes suddenly brightened. He quickly raised the Treasure Tripod high and shouted.
"Eldest Dad, Second Dad, Third Dad!"
These three calls were so loud, so full of genuine sentiment.
The Three Pure Ones, leading the way, heard this and couldn't help their mouths twitching simultaneously.
The three exchanged a glance, not hesitating for even a moment, as their forms instantly transformed into three primordial Dao Qi, enveloping the group of Mystic Sect Immortal Gods behind them, collectively vanishing from the spot, directly teleporting into the Purple Cloud Palace.
Leaving only the Yujing Academy President, Yang Mei Daoist, standing alone at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace, bearing Hao Tian's eager gaze.
"Why is a single Immortal calling three dads?" A divine being who was a step too late heard Hao Tian's earth-shattering shout from afar.
However, the mysterious scene of the previous three pure ones' teleportation was forcibly shielded by their Great Magical Power, and they only saw Yang Mei Daoist alone facing Hao Tian.
Yang Mei Daoist took a deep breath, suppressing his inner fury, stepping forward and raising his hand to give Hao Tian a slap on the unruly little head:
"Who are you calling dad?!"
Hao Tian, staggered by the slap, still stiffened his neck, pouting as he said:
"I am the treasure of the Three Pure Ones, and I will not accept any rebuttal on this point."
As he finished speaking, a brilliant clear light appeared unexpectedly in the void, and the light condensed into a wholely radiant, treasure-glowing Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. It landed lightly on Hao Tian's head without any bias.
"Ouch!" Caught off guard, Hao Tian yelped in pain, hurriedly clutching his head in a crouch.
"Treasure, claiming relations haphazardly like this is not right." The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi lightly swayed, emitting a gentle yet slightly exasperated intention, earnestly instructing Hao Tian.
Hao Tian lifted his head in a bit of confusion, looking at the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi floating before him.
