The Sanqing, Nuwa, and others were still pondering which disciples should be appointed as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Suddenly, Zhunti jumped out and declared he would take on the responsibility.

This enraged the Sanqing and Nuwa, who immediately reprimanded Zhunti.

Jieyin, seeing that they had stirred up a hornet's nest, quickly pulled Zhunti back.

After all, although the Sanqing had separated, they still presented a united front to outsiders, and it wasn't yet time to fall out completely.

Zhunti, realizing his mistake, quickly apologized.

"My junior brother was just joking with everyone. Please don't take offense, senior brothers. We will not interfere in the affairs of the Human Race. Senior brothers can decide amongst yourselves!"

Although Zhunti was shameless, he was also pragmatic. With a few words, he dispelled the dissatisfaction of the Saints. However, Yuanshi Tianzun still let out a cold snort, expressing his displeasure with Zhunti.

Yuanshi considered himself superior, and in his eyes, the Saint positions obtained by Jieyin and Zhunti through their shameless behavior were not worthy of being seated alongside the Sanqing and others.

Imagination was beautiful, but the Dao Ancestor's next words brought the Sanqing and the others crashing back to cold reality.

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are matters of the Human Race. When the time comes, they will naturally appear. You are not to interfere. You only need to send disciples to serve as their teachers."

"Since Jieyin and Zhunti are unwilling to participate in the affairs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, let the Sanqing, Nuwa, and Xuan Yi decide together!"

Hongjun's words were undeniably biased towards the Eastern Saints.

Jieyin and Zhunti cursed the Dao Ancestor internally for his unfairness, but being in Zixiao Palace, they dared not show it.

Although the Sanqing were somewhat disappointed that their disciples would not attain the positions of the Three Sovereigns, they were also very happy.

If their disciples could become teachers to the Human Emperors and ascend to the Human Emperor's throne, they would gain immense Merit. Furthermore, with the identity of a Human Emperor's teacher, they could easily avoid the calamities that would befall the world when the Great Tribulation arrived.

Moreover, becoming a Human Emperor's teacher would be more advantageous for the spread of their teachings, a win-win situation.

With this thought, the Sanqing's eyes gleamed with golden light, each wanting to snatch more positions for their disciples.

However, when they thought of Xuan Yi, they felt a sense of difficulty.

Swish, swish, swish!

Three gazes turned towards Xuan Yi in unison.

"Uh!"

"You guys discuss it. I won't interfere!"

Good things shouldn't be hoarded. What should be shared must be shared. Xuan Yi's three disciples already had the positions of Great Emperors, so why bother competing for the position of Human Emperor's teacher?

"However, when Fuxi perished, I foresaw that Fuxi was destined to be the Heavenly Emperor among the Three Sovereigns!"

"It's just that the Demon Race slaughtered too many humans, and after Fuxi's reincarnation, there was no longer the Demon Emperor Fuxi, only the Human Emperor Fuxi."

The Sanqing were initially happy that Xuan Yi wasn't interfering with the affairs of the Three Sovereigns, but Xuan Yi's sudden turn of phrase startled them again. Fortunately, it wasn't about competing for the Human Emperor's teacher.

Regarding Fuxi becoming the Human Emperor, all the Saints began to deduce. Indeed, as Xuan Yi had said, Fuxi should be the Human Emperor. The Saints had no objections to this.

Nuwa, seeing that Fuxi's future was settled, did not contend for the position of Human Emperor's teacher.

Jieyin and Zhunti, on the side, regretted their words immensely. They blamed themselves for speaking out of turn. Such a great benefit was right before them, yet their Western Teachings had no part in it. They could only watch enviously.

"Fuxi should indeed be the first Human Emperor. In that case, the position of Heavenly Emperor's teacher will be taken by my disciple Xuandu. This way, it won't be an insult to junior sister Nuwa."

Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun heard Taishang's words and found them reasonable.

After all, Fuxi was Nuwa's elder brother, and this matter also involved Xuan Yi and the Dao Ancestor.

If disciples from the Chan Religion or Jie Religion were to teach Fuxi, it would be an insult to Nuwa and Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.

"Two junior brothers, as for the remaining two Human Emperor's teachers, you two can each take one."

"What do you think?"

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu heard this and agreed that it was indeed the right course of action. They spoke in unison.

"We will follow senior brother Xuan Yi's arrangement!"

Finally, after their discussion, the Jie Religion would have the Earth Emperor's teacher, and the Chan Religion would have the Human Emperor's teacher.

Just then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly spoke.

"Since you have all decided, the matter of the Heavenly Emperor is settled."

"However, Fuxi becoming the Heavenly Emperor is a foregone conclusion. You are not to interfere with the subsequent two Emperors and five Emperors!"

The Sanqing and others, who still had some ulterior motives, could only sigh helplessly upon seeing Dao Ancestor Hongjun close the loophole.

With the Three Sovereigns decided, it was time for the Five Emperors.

"My disciple, Moral True Immortal Guangchengzi, possesses profound destiny, is powerful in cultivation, and his destiny is boundless."

"He is fully capable of teaching the remaining Five Emperors and serving as their Imperial Tutor!"

Yuanshi Tianzun directly made an outrageous demand, wanting to take on all the remaining Five Emperors by himself.

Yuanshi Tianzun had always looked down on the disciples of the Jie Religion. Although their cultivation was decent, how could those with fur and horns become teachers to the Five Emperors?

In terms of their origins, they were simply not qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as his Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Religion.

And his disciples of the Chan Religion were precisely in need of this Merit to improve their cultivation.

After all, among Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples, apart from Randeng, the cultivation of the others was not high.

The aloof Yuanshi Tianzun believed that Tongtian Jiaozhu should consider his elder brother more.

Yuanshi Tianzun felt that one position of Teacher of the Earth Emperor was enough for the Jie Religion.

After all, the disciples in the Jie Religion had very high cultivation levels and did not need Merit to improve their cultivation. However, in the Chan Religion, there were twelve direct disciples waiting for Merit to improve their cultivation.

Yuanshi Tianzun even felt that by giving the position of Teacher of the Earth Emperor to the Jie Religion, his Chan Religion was at a disadvantage.

Yuanshi Tianzun's actions greatly angered Tongtian Jiaozhu. If the Jie Religion had no positions at all, wouldn't that be slapping him, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and the Jie Religion in the face?

"My senior brother's disciples need Merit to improve their cultivation, do my junior brother's disciples not need it? Your Chan Religion's disciples are only at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level, how can they become the Teachers of the Five Emperors?"

"My Jie Religion has ten thousand immortals, with countless disciples of profound cultivation. The Jie Religion should at least have four positions for Imperial Teachers!"

When words fail, silence is golden. Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately started arguing.

Jieyin and Zhunti enjoyed watching the two argue. If the Sanqing were united, the Western Teachings would have no room for development.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu's constant bickering finally angered Dao Ancestor Hongjun on the cloud bed.

"Enough, enough, you two, stop arguing!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke, and Yuanshi and Tongtian were instantly terrified into silence.

"For the positions of the Teachers of the Five Emperors, the Chan Religion will take the first two, and the Jie Religion will take the last two. The remaining final position will be held by Xuan Yi's disciple."

After speaking, he waved his hand and drove everyone out of Zixiao Palace.

Outside Zixiao Palace, the few people driven out by the Dao Ancestor looked at each other awkwardly. They glanced at Haotian and Yaochi, and the Saints snorted and left.

Xuan Yi saw the awkwardness of Haotian and Yaochi and decided to help them.

"Haotian, Yaochi, the Heavenly Court has just been established and is short of personnel. The Demon Race in the far north will be temporarily under your command!"

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Although the attitude of the Saints made Haotian very frustrated, at least Xuan Yi was willing to help.

Xuan Yi temporarily handed the Monster Summoning Banner to Haotian and then left. Haotian and Yaochi also headed towards the Heavenly Court.

"Senior Brother Haotian, these Saints are going too far, completely disregarding the Teacher's words. Fortunately, the Young Master is willing to help."

Yaochi could no longer hold back and complained to Haotian.

"Junior Sister Yaochi, don't worry. They are all Saints. It's better to rely on yourself than to beg others. As long as Master and Young Master are willing to help us, that's enough."

As they spoke, they arrived at the former Southern Heavenly Gate.

What greeted their eyes was a scene of desolation, with broken cliffs and ruined walls.

The once glorious Demon Court had become a ruin.

"Senior Brother! What are we going to do!"

Yaochi was on the verge of tears.

Haotian looked at the scene with a worried expression.

"Time Reversal!"

A gentle voice echoed. Xuan Yi, who was far away on Jade Capital Mountain, directly used the Law of Time to restore the Heavenly Court to its state before its destruction.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Looking at the magnificent and resplendent Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi were overjoyed and bowed towards Jade Capital Mountain.

"Junior Sister Yaochi, let's quickly move into the Heavenly Court. We mustn't let down the Young Master's kind intentions."

The two stood up, and waves of Daoist music began to spread throughout the Primordial Chaos.

"I am Haotian. Today, by the order of the Dao Ancestor, I assume the position of Heavenly Emperor. Those who are willing may join the Heavenly Court!"

As Haotian's words fell, the Primordial World was thrown into an uproar. The Heavenly Court actually had a Heavenly Emperor again.

For many rogue cultivators, the positions in the Heavenly Court were very tempting. After all, the Heavenly Court had many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Although they would be subject to some control, with the current shortage of personnel in the Heavenly Court, joining would surely make them founding members.

Therefore, countless rogue cultivators began to fly towards the Heavenly Court.

However, for some great divine powers and disciples of Saints, these positions seemed less important. They had their own sects and magic treasures, and they completely disdained these minor figures.

With the addition of many rogue immortals, the Heavenly Court could finally begin to operate slowly.
