Everyone was speechless at this moment. If they still couldn't see it, they'd be pigs!
It was too obvious. Dao Ancestor had already made up his mind, and calling them here was likely just a formality!
He glanced at Taiqing Laozi again. What was his deal? How could he have seen through Dao Ancestor's intentions so quickly? Damn it, no wonder he was the eldest disciple; he truly had some skill!
"Haotian, this is the Haotian Mirror. I bestow it upon you for self-defense!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a spiritual treasure immediately appeared before Haotian. It was the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Haotian Mirror, capable of observing heaven and earth!
He then looked at Yaochi beside him and also waved his hand. Yaochi's appearance changed, and he said, "Yaochi, you will assist Haotian. I bestow upon you this top-grade innate spiritual root, the Peaches of Immortality, and this Treasure Lotus Lamp!"
Originally, the Western Su Se Yun Jie Banner was meant for the West. However, that item had been given to Minghe by the Demonic Ancestor and was now Minghe's spiritual treasure. Therefore, Hongjun specifically set aside this Treasure Lotus Lamp, otherwise, it would have ended up with Nuwa!
"Many thanks, Master!" The two immediately bowed.
In reality, Hongjun also had his own considerations. After Haotian became the Jade Emperor, he would easily be able to sever his corpse and enter the quasi-sage realm by relying on his destiny. To be honest, the quasi-sage realm was sufficient for him to secure the position of Heavenly Emperor!
The other Sages said nothing. What was there to say? This was likely an inside job, a done deal. How infuriating!
At this moment, Hongjun spoke again, "Since the Human Race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should emerge to suppress the destiny of the Human Race. You shall discuss this matter among yourselves!"
With that, Hongjun disappeared!
The assembled Sages looked at each other. This seemed to be a great merit. Jieyin said, "My senior disciple, Maitreya, can be the teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign!"
Tongtian immediately retorted, "Nonsense! This is our Eastern affair. What business does the West have with it? The teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign? You must be dreaming!"
Jieyin was instantly enraged. This Tongtian was truly uncouth!
Nuwa, however, spoke up, "My elder brother, Fuxi, can reincarnate among the humans and become the Heavenly Sovereign of the Human Race!"
Li Er, who had remained silent, immediately said, "Impossible! Fuxi is the Emperor of the Demon Race. The Demon Race wreaked havoc on the Human Race back then. Although it was stopped, we cannot allow the Emperor of the Demon Race to be the Heavenly Sovereign!"
Nuwa glared at him. She knew that her brother was now a true spirit. Only by proving himself as the Heavenly Sovereign of the Human Race could he achieve immortality. Otherwise, when the tribulation came, he might truly die again, and it was uncertain if his true spirit would remain.
"Fuxi is not bad, but for Fuxi to become the Heavenly Sovereign, his demon race spirit must be obliterated. From now on, Fuxi will be Fuxi, only the Heavenly Sovereign of the Human Race. Otherwise, you can forget about it!" Taiqing Laozi also said!
Li Er immediately nodded. Indeed, it should be so!
Seeing the two singing in harmony, Nuwa was furious. However, she knew even better that if she missed this opportunity, it would truly be difficult in the future. She might be schemed against and killed at any moment because these Sages were too shameless!
"Tsk, stingy. Fuxi didn't agree to slaughter the Human Race back then!" Minghe said at this moment. He would oppose anything the Three Pure Ones agreed with, and agree with anything they opposed.
Seeing Minghe supporting Nuwa, Li Er sneered, "What? You're not going to be a Sage anymore and are preparing to be a lapdog? What business is it of yours!"
Minghe was instantly enraged. This Li Er was no good either. He was Taiqing Laozi's self-corporeal body, and now that he was also a Sage, he was actually so arrogant! So what if he had a meritorious golden body? What was there to be arrogant about!
"Fine, I agree!" Nuwa finally said!
There was no other way; she had to let Fuxi prove himself, or he would truly be killed!
Afterward, Nuwa released Fuxi's true spirit, and Li Er reached out and took him away. Li Er would naturally handle the subsequent matters.
"Then, the teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign will be my disciple!" Taiqing Laozi said!
Yuanshi and Tongtian both nodded. Indeed, Elder Brother was right!
Li Er also smiled and nodded. Minghe, however, curled his lips in disdain. What kind of person was his disciple? Would he be more powerful than the Heavenly Sovereign later?
Taiqing Laozi paid no mind to Minghe's expression!
Next, Taiqing Laozi said, "Yuanshi, you are responsible for the teacher of the Earthly Sovereign!"
Yuanshi chuckled, "Understood, Elder Brother!"
"Tongtian, the teacher of the Human Sovereign will be handed over to you!" Taiqing Laozi said again!
Tongtian laughed heartily and said, "Okay, Elder Brother!"
Seeing the Three Pure Ones shamelessly dividing the spoils, Jieyin and Zhunti were furious and raised objections. However, no one paid them any attention. It was known that Li Er and Taiqing Laozi had the final say in the Human Race now; even Nuwa's words held little weight!
Minghe naturally knew this and therefore did not seek trouble.
Nuwa, seeing that her brother's matter was resolved, had no desire to argue with these people. Besides, she had no basis to argue. She directly flew out of the Purple Heaven Palace!
The Three Pure Ones then cast threatening glances at Minghe. *Grandson, haven't you been beaten enough? We'll beat you again later!*
Minghe instantly understood. He didn't want to be beaten again. With a flick of his sleeve and a snort, he left the Purple Heaven Palace and returned to his Blood Sea!
Jieyin and Zhunti, left behind, looked at each other. They couldn't defeat the Three Pure Ones. What should they do?
Fortunately, the Three Pure Ones didn't push things too far and conceded two spots for the Five Emperors' teachers. Jieyin and Zhunti could only snort and also left the Purple Heaven Palace!
The most important thing was the Three Sovereigns. The Five Emperors were nothing, a trifling benefit. But there was no choice; for the sake of their disciples, they had to accept it!
Seeing that everyone had left, the Three Pure Ones smiled at each other and exited the Purple Heaven Palace!
As Taiqing Laozi left, he glanced at Haotian. *Little fellow, I hope you remember today's kindness and don't go tattling. Otherwise, you won't have it easy!*
Li Er also departed. He still had Fuxi's true spirit to deal with and, at the same time, let Fuxi bask in the destiny of the Human Race in Huoyun Cave!
At this moment, Huoyun Cave was not only home to Li Er but also the Three Ancestors of the Human Race. The Three Ancestors, who were supposed to have perished, had survived due to Li Er and Taiqing Laozi. They entered Huoyun Cave and voluntarily helped Li Er suppress the destiny of the Human Race!
After descending from the chaotic void, the Three Pure Ones bid farewell with smiles. Tongtian returned to his Jin'ao Island, Yuanshi went back to Kunlun, and Taiqing Laozi naturally went to Shouyang Mountain!
In the coming period, their disciples would need to cultivate diligently!
Taiqing Laozi also planned to guide his disciple, Xuandu, properly!
After all, he was about to become the teacher of the Heavenly Sovereign. If he didn't have some skill, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Moreover, this was an endeavor of great merit. With this merit, coupled with the blessing of the Human Race's destiny, Xuandu's future path would be much smoother! Therefore, Taiqing Laozi's plan was quite sound. Yuanshi and Tongtian thought similarly; with the blessing of the Human Race's destiny and merit, it would be impossible for them to cultivate slowly in the future!
