The Discussion Concluded

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

The Saint exchanged glances, but none of them spoke.

Any objections?

Of course!

The Teacher of the Three Sovereigns —what Merit he had!

The Wu Clan took two, leaving them with only one. How could they not have objections?

Although the Teacher of the Five Emperors had many Merit, how could they be compared to the Teacher of the Three Sovereigns?

Jieyin and Zhunti cursed Yuanshi Tianzun in their hearts.

If it weren't for this idiot's insistence on being quick-witted and showing off his superiority as the Pangu Orthodox...

They follow the Western Teachings and the Three Pure Ones, one on each side, everyone benefits—isn't that wonderful?

Now, Zhou Ming is directly stepping off the court.

There's only one left.

How could those two brothers possibly possibly compete with the Three Pure Ones?

The gazes of Jieyin and Zhunti seemed to want to pierce two holes in Primordial Lord's body.

Zhou Ming looked at the unpleasant expressions on their faces, but didn't care at all. He slowly spoke.

"What, fellow Daoists, do you have any objections?"

"If you have any opinions, you can speak up."

"I'm not such Dao Lecture person."

Zhunti's heart skipped a beat, and he almost blurted out the words "I have an opinion".

Just then, the Jieyin beside him subtly tugged at him and gently shook his head.

Zhunti instantly calmed down and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

On the Three Pure Ones side, Primordial Lord, though his expression was grim, also chose to remain silent.

Then, a strange scene appeared inside the hall.

The Saint looked at each other, and finally spoke in unison.

"We have no objections."

Seeing everyone's response, Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"Good."

He looked around at everyone and continued.

"To be honest, with the strength of my Wu Clan, having only two Emperor's Teacher is already considered a small number."

"To be able to reserve for you the positions of Teacher of the Human Emperor and Teacher of the Five Emperors is already quite generous."

"You guys can discuss the rest yourselves; I won't get involved."

The Saint felt aggrieved, but they also understood that Zhou Ming was telling the truth.

Given the current strength of the Wu Clan, let alone two, even if they wanted both, the Witch Clan could only watch helplessly.

He was only willing to retain some of the benefits because he was also Saint.

If they continue to be ungrateful and anger Zhou Ming, they might not gain anything at all.

"Fellow Daoist is right, thank you."

Zhou Ming ignored them.

If it weren't for the purpose of stirring up conflict among these parties to prepare for the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation in the future.

He wouldn't even leave them the position of the Teacher of the Human Emperor.

After this brief incident, the atmosphere Pangu Hall became tense once again.

Now that the Wu Clan has withdrawn, the remaining one Teacher of the Human Emperor and five Teacher of the Five Emperors have become the targets of contention between the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West.

Zhunti's face was full of smiles.

"Three Fellow Daoists, I think it would be better to do this..."

"The remaining Teacher of the Human Emperor will be taken over by our Western Teachings."

"In exchange, the West will not accept a single one of the positions of Teacher of the Five Emperors."

"How about leaving them all to the Three Fellow Daoists?"

He spoke these words with great generosity, voluntarily giving up the Teacher of the Five Emperors and only seeking the Teacher of the Human Emperor.

"Snort!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun immediately snorted coldly, making no attempt to conceal his contempt.

"Zhunti, you really dare to dream!"

"The Teacher of the Human Emperor —is that something your the West can interfere with?"

"Dream!"

The Tongtian Sect Master also snorted and echoed.

"This Teacher of the Human Emperor should rightfully be held by someone from my Three Pure Ones sect."

"As for the Teacher of the Five Emperors, we could give one or two of you."

Zhunti's smile faded.

"Primordial Lord! Tongtian! Don't push your luck!"

"We are all Saint, why are we not worthy?!"

"This Teacher of the Human Emperor, we in the West are determined to have it!"

Jieyin also darkened.

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, Teacher of the Human Emperor, is someone even Saint can contend with. Why is my the West not worthy?"

Yuanshi Tianzun stood up, exuding an imposing aura.

"You two are nothing but heretics, how dare you compare yourselves to the Three Pure Ones?!"

Just as the two sides were about to start arguing again, Taiqing Laozi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

"Stop arguing."

As soon as he spoke, Primordial Lord and Tongtian fell silent.

Taiqing looked at the Two Saints of the West and proposed his own distribution plan.

"The Teacher of the Human Emperor belongs to the Three Pure Ones."

" Of the Teacher of the Five Emperors, you two may occupy two seats."

"The remaining three seats belong to the Three Pure Ones."

In this plan, the Three Pure Ones still hold the majority of the vote.

Zhunti immediately refused to continue.

"No!"

"My fellow disciple and I are both Saint, how could we only occupy the positions of two Teacher of the Five Emperors?"

Jieyin added with a somber expression.

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, we can do without the Teacher of the Human Emperor."

"But of the Teacher of the Five Emperors, the West must have three!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun, enraged to the point of laughter, laughed instead.

"If you two want three, then there are three of us brothers, meaning each of us will only get one?"

Your skin is thicker than Mount Sumeru!

The two sides argued again, neither willing to back down.

Finally, Taiqing's patience seemed to have run out.

He glanced indifferently at the Two Saints of the West.

"There can only be two seats for the two of you."

"If you still don't agree..."

"At worst, we can fight it out."

"At that time, none of you will get one."

Threaten!

A blatant threat!

Zhunti was so angry that he trembled all over, and still wanted to argue.

Jieyin stopped him, sighed deeply at Taiqing, his face full of sorrow.

"Good."

"As Fellow Daoist Taiqing said."

The situation is beyond our control; if we continue to fight, we might end up with nothing.

Even if the Three Pure Ones joined forces, the two brothers would be no match for them.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness and resentment in each other's eyes.

Zhunti secretly hardened his heart.

What a fine Three Pure Ones! What a Pangu Orthodox!

The humiliation you suffer today will be repaid tenfold in the future! Just you wait!

Seeing the Two Saints of the West yield, Taiqing looked at Primordial Lord and Tongtian.

I have no disciples.

"You two can discuss and decide on the positions of the Teacher of the Human Emperor and the Teacher of the Five Emperors yourselves."

The Yuanshi Tianzun immediately spoke.

"The Teacher of the Human Emperor, our Clarify Sect desires him!"

"My disciple Guangchengzi is deeply blessed and capable of undertaking this task!"

He spoke quickly and urgently, as if afraid that Tongtian would try to take it from him.

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master's brow twitched.

He glanced at Primordial Lord, feeling displeased, but after a moment's thought, he refrained from arguing.

Although the Teacher of the Human Emperor had more Merit, he had so many disciples in the Interception Sect that one position was simply not enough to go around.

On the contrary, the remaining three Teacher of the Five Emperors were more capable of arranging his disciples, which could be considered a kind of balance.

"Good."

Tongtian nodded in agreement.

"Those positions of the three Teacher of the Five Emperors belong to my Interception Sect."

The fact that Primordial Lord and Tongtian did not quarrel over this matter made Taiqing secretly relieved.

Seeing that the group had finally finished their discussion, Zhou Ming, who had been watching the show, slowly spoke up.

"Alright, now that the positions of Teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have been assigned..."

"Well then, I have one last thing to tell you all."

The Three Pure Ones Jieyin, along with Zhunti, all looked at him.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Zhou Ming's gaze swept across the faces of the group, finally lingering a moment longer on Zhunti.

"How much Merit you can gain during this great rise of the Human Clan depends entirely on your own abilities."

"But."

Zhou Ming's expression turned serious.

"But there's one thing you all need to remember."

"I don't care how you fight, struggle, or scheme against each other for Merit."

"But the Human Clan Human Clan absolutely not be involved, and they must not be harmed!"

"Anyone who dares to break this rule will have no part in the great Merit of the Human Clan!"

Even if you've already got it, you have to give it back to me in full!

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

These words sent a chill down the spines of all the Saint in the hall.

They had no doubt that Zhou Ming could do what he said he would do.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, we will certainly not implicate the Human Clan!"

Everyone quickly offered their assurances.

That would be best.

Zhou Ming stood up.

"Since the matter has been settled, gentlemen, please take your leave."

This is practically an invitation to leave.

The Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West did not linger any longer and rose to take their leave.

We'll take our leave.

After saying that, the Five Dao Body Figures transformed into streams of light and left the Pangu Hall.
