Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 156 The Throne of Heavenly Emperor
After the Three Pure Ones separated, anyone could tell that the friendship between them was certainly not the same as before.

But even Bai Jing didn't expect that there was already a situation where Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were incompatible.

Bai Jing couldn't understand why the brotherhood they had built over so many years was gone just like that? Was the Saint's Great Religion so important?

The old man standing by saw that his two younger brothers were about to start quarreling again, so he sighed, stepped forward and inserted himself between them.

"We are now in the teacher's Zixiao Palace, so please don't argue here."

After hearing Laozi's message, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't say anything more and silently took a step back.

Tongtian also took a step back.

Upon seeing this, the other saints who had been watching the show all looked away at the same time.

"Squeak~" The gate of Zixiao Palace opened on time after the confrontation between the Three Purities ended.

Bai Jing's clone had a strange expression on his face. He thought to himself, "Isn't this old man Hongjun also watching the show? Otherwise, why would he open the door at this time?"

Of course, despite what he thought, Bai Jing's clone was tactful enough not to ask any more questions. He walked straight into the Zixiao Palace with the other saints.

After the saints arrived at Zixiao Palace, Bai Jing's clone looked around but did not see Haotian and Yaochi.

Hongjun was sitting cross-legged on a cushion on a high place, just like when he first preached.

"Disciple, hello to the teacher." Laozi took the lead, and the other saints of the Heavenly Dao followed, bowing to Hongjun together.

Bai Jing's clone did not follow suit in saluting. After nodding, he found a cushion to sit on. He was not Hongjun's disciple. Hongjun himself had said that they could just call each other fellow Taoists. Why should he rush to salute?

Hongjun glanced at the Heavenly Dao Saints, and then said in a calm tone: "Everyone, get up!"

All the saints stood up and took their seats.

Hongjun didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "There is no common leader in the prehistoric world, there is no order or rules, and all races are fighting. I have summoned you here today to select a new common leader for the prehistoric world.

Of course, a saint cannot be the co-leader. What candidates do you have in mind? Tell us what you think. "

As soon as Hongjun's voice fell, Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other, and then Jieyin jumped out first and said, "Teacher, my Western disciple, the Medicine Master, has great talent and great fortune, and is gentle and polite. His cultivation has also reached Daluo, and he can be the new Heavenly Emperor."

Zhunti added another disciple after hearing this: "Teacher, I also have a disciple named Maitreya, who is comparable to your disciple Medicine Master. Both of them have top-notch luck, understanding, and character, and can be candidates for the new Heavenly Emperor."

All the saints looked pessimistic. Face was really worthless in front of the two saints of the West. With the character of the two saints of the West, what kind of good disciples could they cultivate? If their disciples became the new emperor of heaven, who knows what kind of trouble they would make!
Fortunately, the Emperor of Heaven doesn’t just go to whoever brings it up first.

Hongjun, who was sitting on the cushion, listened to the opinions of the two saints from the West, then turned to look at the other saints and asked, "What are your opinions?"

Tai Qing thought for a moment and said, "In reply to the teacher's words, in my Daoism, Xuandu is the only disciple I have personally taught. Although there are many acquired beings who have listened to my disciples' teachings, none of them have become accomplished people. Therefore, I will not participate in the selection of the new Heavenly Emperor."

Yuanshi, standing in front of Hongjun, suppressed most of his arrogance and said slowly: "Teacher, I have ten disciples, all of whom are virtuous and true immortals, especially Guangchengzi, who is the best choice and can be the candidate for the new Heavenly Emperor."

After hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Tongtian said in a clear voice: "Teacher, in terms of cultivation, Guangchengzi is not as good as my first disciple Duobao. Duobao's cultivation is definitely the strongest among the four sects' direct disciples. He has now reached the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian.

In terms of good fortune, Duobao is the incarnation of a treasure-hunting rat, and he also has great fortune, so my first disciple Duobao is the most suitable Heavenly Emperor among the four religions."

When Yuanshi Tianzun and the Two Saints of the West heard Tongtian recommending Duobao, their faces turned unhappy.

Because once Tongtian said this, the three saints had no way to refute it. Duobao's cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, so he was indeed the number one person among the four religions at this stage.

After Tongtian finished speaking, Hongjun looked at Bai Jing and Nuwa.

Nuwa spoke first, "Teacher, I have not passed down the Taoism, so I will not recommend anyone."

Bai Jing's clone smiled and said, "Although my direct disciple Kong Xuan has now reached the late stage of Golden Immortal, he is a member of the Phoenix Clan and I am afraid he is not worthy of the position of Heavenly Emperor. The rest of my direct disciples have not yet broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm, so I won't say it out loud to embarrass myself."

After everyone finished speaking, Zixiao Palace fell silent, and everyone was obviously waiting for Daozu Hongjun to make a decision.

"The people you recommended are all very good and excellent. I also have a candidate here." After saying this, Hongjun glanced at the saints and said lightly: "Haotian, you have great perseverance and great fortune. Now your cultivation has reached the peak of quasi-saints. You can also be the new Heavenly Emperor. What do you think?"

What? Let Haotian be the new Emperor of Heaven? At this moment, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and the Two Saints of the West all felt that they had heard wrongly.

Who is Haotian? How can a mere gatekeeper be qualified to be the new Heavenly Emperor? But seeing Hongjun's calm expression, the four people felt that Hongjun was not joking.

Not to mention the Four Saints who wanted the position of Heavenly Emperor, Laozi's heart was also stirred up. The Taoist Ancestor actually proposed to let Haotian become the new Heavenly Emperor. In addition, the Taoist Ancestor ruled out the option of letting a saint become Heavenly Emperor from the very beginning.

Among the disciples of the four religions, which one can compare to Haotian who has been with the Taoist Ancestor for many years?

This is not asking them to elect the new Heavenly Emperor. The Taoist Ancestor has clearly already decided on the candidate for the new Heavenly Emperor.

Nuwa also thought of this point very quickly. As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Since she had no thoughts about the position of the Emperor of Heaven, she could naturally see things clearly.

As for Bai Jing's clone, there is no need to say more. He already knew the result. He came here on the one hand to watch the fun, and on the other hand to make a move.

And Haotian, who was hiding deep in the Zixiao Palace, was extremely excited when he heard that his master had really recommended him to be the Emperor of Heaven in front of all the saints.

The Supreme Emperor of Heaven has an extremely high status in the prehistoric world. In terms of status, he is comparable to a saint. Naturally, his position is also extremely respected. It is no exaggeration to say that he stands at the pinnacle of power in the prehistoric world.

Although staying in Zixiao Palace to serve the master and receive his instructions all the time, it is too boring. It is more interesting to become the Emperor of Heaven. You can also stand on the top of the world and be worshipped by all living beings. Why not?

Thinking of this, Haotian's heart was filled with endless waves, and a flame called ambition was ignited!
Turning our gaze back to the saints, the saints all had different expressions on their faces, and the Zixiao Palace fell into silence.

Hongjun glanced at the saints again and added: "Haotian's cultivation is at the peak of quasi-saints, and he has the appearance of an emperor. Just based on these two points, the disciples you recommended are not as good as him. I think Haotian can be the new Heavenly Emperor. What do you think?"

Hongjun mentioned Haotian's name for the second time, and specifically said that Haotian had the appearance of an emperor, which means that Haotian really has the qualities to be the Emperor of Heaven.

The only problem is that Haotian is just a boy under the teacher's tutelage. How can he be qualified to become the Emperor of Heaven?
Of course, no matter how much they thought about it, none of the saints dared to say no in front of the Taoist Ancestor.

After Zixiao Palace was silent for a long time, Laozi took the lead and said, "Teacher has a keen eye, Haotian is indeed good."

Nuwa agreed. She had no disciples anyway, and Fuxi was once the demon king of the demon clan, so there was no way he could become the Emperor of Heaven. So who would become the Emperor of Heaven had nothing to do with her.

A gloom flashed across Yuanshi's face. Giving the throne of the Emperor of Heaven to a mere gatekeeper boy was such a waste of talent and would make one laugh. He didn't know what his teacher was thinking, but he didn't say anything against it. The main reason was that no one in his Chan sect could compare to Haotian.

Tongtian naturally agreed. In his opinion, as long as the Orthodox Sect and the Western Sect were not allowed to obtain the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, it did not matter who became the Heavenly Emperor. He recommended Duobao and the others just now because he did not want the throne of the Heavenly Emperor to fall into the hands of others.

Only the two Western saints showed a look of deep regret on their faces.

This is the position of the Emperor of Heaven, ruling the four poles of the universe, how terrifying is the luck? If it is given to the West, the West will surely be able to achieve great prosperity soon. Teacher, why can't you be considerate of the West!

Everyone else agreed, so Bai Jing, who was just a spectator, naturally wouldn't cause any trouble.

After everyone agreed, Hongjun naturally did not do anything unnecessary or say anything unnecessary. He said softly, "Haotian, where is Yaochi?"

"Here." Haotian and Yaochi responded and walked out from the depths of Zixiao Palace.

All the saints looked at them at the same time.

How sharp is the vision of the saint? He saw through Haotian and Yaochi's cultivation and details at a glance.

Just as Hongjun said, these two have reached the peak of quasi-saint cultivation, and they both possess the Shaoyin and Shaoyang Qi respectively. The position of Emperor and Empress of Heaven truly belongs to them.

Hongjun ignored the gazes of the saints. He waved his hand and several spiritual treasures appeared in the void.

Hongjun pointed at two of the spiritual treasures and said, "Haotian, these two spiritual treasures are the Haotian Mirror and the Haotian Tower. The former can see the four poles of the universe and the prehistoric world, and the latter is both offensive and defensive, with infinite power. Both are top-grade innate spiritual treasures, so I'll give them to you for self-defense!"

Haotian was deeply moved. The master still remembered him, so Haotian bowed deeply to Hongjun and said, "Haotian thanks the master."

“Yao Chi, I’ll give you this Western Plain Cloud Realm Flag and the Innate Spiritual Root Peach Tree.” After saying this, Hongjun waved his hand, and the Western Plain Cloud Realm Flag and the Peach Tree fell into Yao Chi’s hands.

Yao Chi also performed a great ceremony and expressed her gratitude to Hongjun, but compared to Haotian's excitement, Yao Chi looked much calmer.

Hongjun nodded, and then continued: "Re-establishing the Heavenly Palace and maintaining stability in the Four Poles is not an easy task. If you encounter any trouble, just ask your brothers to solve it."

After saying this, Hongjun waved his hand, and Haotian, Yaochi, and all the saints felt the world spinning around them. When they opened their eyes again, they had arrived outside the Zixiao Palace.
