Rewards and Such, I Never Care About Them, So I Choose 1

Shennong, following the example of Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, performed the Fengchan ceremony on Mount Tai and succeeded him as the inheritor of the Kongtong Seal.

Heavenly Dao sensed this and bestowed boundless Heavenly Dao Merit. Shennong's cultivation and strength were elevated to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Simultaneously, boundless Merit also descended upon Xuandu's Purple Mansion. Golden clouds of Merit, covering an acre of land, merged into Xuandu's body, transforming into cultivation.

Xuandu's body trembled slightly with excitement, his eyes shining brightly. "As long as I refine all this Heavenly Dao Merit, becoming a Quasi-Saint will be within reach!"

It wasn't just this Heavenly Dao Merit. Previously, Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality established the Human Sect, which had long been intertwined with the Human Race. Now, with the succession of the second Human Emperor, the Human Race's Destiny surged, and the Human Sect also received blessings.

If there were any mighty beings skilled in the art of observing Destiny, they would have noticed the surge in the Human Sect's Destiny!

"With the Human Race's Destiny soaring, the future Unification of the Three Teachings will have a stronger foundation."

Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.

Primordial Lord looked towards the direction of the Human Sect with satisfaction.

The future Unification of the Three Teachings, establishing the Daoist Gate, would be based on the current Human Sect, Heavenly Origin Sect, and Intercepting Sect. It was naturally impossible for his Heavenly Origin Sect to be the sole dominant force.

With the simultaneous development of the three teachings, the Daoist Gate would become even more powerful in the future.

With that thought, Primordial Lord no longer paid attention and focused on his cultivation.

As time passed, the third Human Emperor, Xuanyuan Clan, was born in the You Xiong Tribe.

Xuanyuan Clan's birth was also accompanied by unusual phenomena, but they differed from those of Fuxi Clan and Shennong.

When Xuanyuan Clan was born, the phenomenon of the Nine Stars Alignment appeared in the sky.

Illusory Beasts roared, drawing the attention of many mighty beings in the Great Wilderness.

Wuzhuang Temple.

"The Human Race is indeed destined to prosper, as it is said. In these past thousands of years, Human Emperors have been born one after another. Now, a third one has been born, which is truly enviable."

Zhenyuanzi sighed as he looked at the celestial phenomena in the sky.

Beside him, Yunzhongzi's eyes flickered. "This time, the position of Sage Teacher of the Human Race will fall into the hands of our Uncle-Master Tongtian."

He felt emotional, knowing that his master had let go of his past prejudices. The prosperity of the Intercepting Sect would only increase the blessings of the Three Pure Ones.

He looked at Zhenyuanzi. "Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi, my Heavenly Origin Sect is flourishing, and my master has let go of his prejudices. In the future, the Three Pure Ones will surely make peace. Why not return to the Heavenly Origin Sect with me?"

Zhenyuanzi smiled. "We can discuss this matter another day."

Heavenly Court.

Haotian shook his head repeatedly as he looked at the celestial phenomena in the sky.

"The Human Race is indeed destined to prosper, but this time the phenomena are somewhat too peculiar. However, no matter how peculiar it is, it has nothing to do with my Heavenly Court."

A hint of doubt flashed in Haotian's eyes, but he said nothing. He couldn't help but envy the Human Race.

After all, the Heavenly Court had lost many heavenly soldiers and generals in its previous schemes against the Human Race, and its entire treasury had been emptied!

It was a case of losing both troops and treasure!

Furthermore, it exposed the drawbacks of some old gods from the former Demon Court within the Heavenly Court who did not obey his commands!

With this incident, his prestige within the Heavenly Court further diminished.

Every time he thought of this matter, Haotian couldn't help but curse those shameless Two Sages of the West!

If not for the instigation of the Western Teachings, how would he have dared to provoke the Three Pure Ones?

Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.

Sovereign Lord of the Heavens awoke from his cultivation and also noticed the matter of the Human Race's Sage Teacher position.

"The Human Race is destined to prosper. This third Sage Teacher position has finally fallen into the hands of my Intercepting Sect!"

Tongtian was excited.

He had witnessed the Heavenly Dao Merit obtained from the previous two Sage Teacher positions, and now it was finally his Intercepting Sect's turn!

"Master, this time the phenomena seem different from before. When Fuxi Clan and Shennong were born, auspicious beasts congratulated them."

"But this time, not only are there no auspicious beasts congratulating, but there is also the phenomenon of the Nine Stars Alignment, which is an ominous sign. Why is this?"

Daoist Duobao stood below Tongtian, sensing the phenomena surrounding Xuanyuan Clan's descent, and was somewhat confused.

"This is a sliver of variable fortune, which aligns perfectly with the doctrines of my Intercepting Sect, as if this third Human Emperor Sage Teacher was prepared specifically for my Intercepting Sect!"

Tongtian said with deep meaning.

The Great Dao has fifty paths, with forty-nine being fixed, and one sliver of opportunity escaping. The doctrine of the Intercepting Sect is precisely to intercept this sliver of opportunity.

Now, the phenomena of this sliver of variable fortune surrounding the descent of the third Human Emperor perfectly matched its doctrine.

He was overjoyed and said slowly to Daoist Duobao, "Duobao, you will be the one to guide this third Human Emperor of the Human Race!"

Daoist Duobao was extremely excited.

How could he not know the immense Merit associated with guiding a Human Emperor?

He quickly and respectfully replied, "This disciple thanks Master!"

Afterward, he immediately left Golden Ao Island and headed towards the Human Race tribes.

With the birth of the third Human Emperor, some rejoiced while others grieved.

"Brother, now that the third Human Emperor has descended, he is still not destined for our Western Teachings. When the second Human Emperor performed the Feng Shan ceremony, the Destiny of the Human Sect surged. Even with just two disciples in their lineage, their Destiny surpassed ours!"

In the Western Heaven, Jieyin looked towards the direction of the Human Sect with a sorrowful expression.

The Destiny of a sect was not only related to the strength of its Sect Master, but also closely tied to the strength of its disciples, the number of disciples, its foundation, reputation, and so on.

Therefore, in the past, although Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality's personal strength was immense, his Human Sect only had Xuandu as a direct disciple and Du'e as a registered disciple.

With few flourishing disciples, the sect's Destiny was naturally meager.

However, now that Xuandu of the Human Sect had gained Heavenly Dao Merit, becoming a Quasi-Saint was just around the corner.

Furthermore, it had established a connection with the Destiny of the Human Race, causing its Destiny to surge naturally, even threatening to overshadow the Western Teachings!

Zhunti's gaze was complex as he looked towards the Human Sect, gritting his teeth. "Brother, this position of Sage Teacher to the Human Emperor is far more complicated than we initially thought. If our Western Teachings are to flourish now, we must fight for this position of Sage Teacher to the Human Race!"

Previously, they thought that by teaching the Human Emperor, their disciples would receive blessings and their strength would increase.

But they never expected that this effect would extend to the entire sect!

Now, the Western Teachings had been repeatedly suppressed by the Three Pure Ones, shaking their foundation and causing their reputation to plummet. This led to their Destiny becoming increasingly weak. To flourish now, they absolutely had to contend for the position of Sage Teacher to the Human Race!

"Do you think I don't know that?"

Jieyin's expression was bleak. "It's just that the Three Pure Ones are not benevolent. If they interfere again, we will inevitably be suppressed by them. Moreover, by forcing Heavenly Emperor Fuxi to the Fire Cloud Cave and forming an alliance with the Heavenly Court to capture Nüwa's soul, we have already thoroughly offended the previous two Human Emperors."

"Now, the reputation of our Western Teachings among the Human Race is in tatters. If we want to obtain the position of Sage Teacher to the Human Emperor, even if the Three Pure Ones agree, the Human Race will not."

The seeds sown in the past had now borne fruit.

Now, if the Western Teachings were mentioned among the Human Race, they would surely be spurned.

This position of Sage Teacher to the Human Emperor had long been out of reach for the West.

"That's not true!"

Zhunti retorted directly, unwilling to accept this. He meticulously calculated with his fingers and slowly spoke, "Brother, if the Human Race won't work, we can assist the Witch-Humans: the Jiu Li Tribe!"

"Although these Witch-Humans are not pure-blooded humans, they are still part of the Human Race. If they defeat other human tribes and unify the Human Race, even if the leader of the Jiu Li Tribe is not the Human Emperor, they will become the Human Emperor!"

"And if we assist the Jiu Li Tribe, wouldn't the position of Sage Teacher to the Human Race inevitably fall to our Western Teachings?!"
