Taiqing Laozi suddenly spoke. "Three Venerables, Third Brother, Master of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors—I'll give you one Sovereign and two Emperors. You alone will occupy three Venerable positions. Is that enough?"
"One sect taking more than half is indeed somewhat improper."
The other Saints all turned to look at Sect Master Tongtian.
Zhunti and Jieyin stared eagerly at Tongtian as well, silently pleading: Senior Brother Tongtian, just accept it. Please.
Sect Master Tongtian considered it carefully before finally nodding. "Fine, but three Venerables are too few. I want four. If you still refuse, then we can all just sit here and waste time!"
Four positions as Sovereign's Master or Emperor's Master could produce, at the very least, four Quasi-Saints.
That was enough.
This was Tongtian's bottom line.
Besides, if he alone occupied more than half the slots, not to mention the two from The West, even his Eldest Brother and Second Brother probably would not accept it.
He should quit while he was ahead.
Otherwise, he might provoke everyone's anger and get ganged up on.
Seeing Tongtian's resolute attitude, Primordial Lord of Heaven was so furious that he laughed. He wanted to rebuke Tongtian, but Taiqing Laozi stopped him with a glance. "Fine, but among the Three Sovereigns, you may choose only one."
Hearing this, Sect Master Tongtian smiled. "Thank you for accommodating me, Eldest Brother. Hmm... I want..."
Tongtian thought for a moment. "Then I want the Earthly Emperor, the First Emperor, the Second Emperor, and the Fifth Emperor. You should have no objections, right?"
Before anyone else could speak, Zhunti hurriedly said, "No objections. We'll do as Senior Brother Tongtian says."
Jieyin said, "If you could give up another—"
Sect Master Tongtian said, "Get lost."
Jieyin said, "Right away."
Now they got down to business.
