Scheming for Human Way Destiny
Some time passed after Zhao Gongming and his sister left Linyuan Island.
The Biyou Palace tolled nine times, their sound echoing throughout Golden Ao Island.
The sound of the bell signified that the Jie Sect Leader had important business to attend to and summoned all inner Outer Sect Disciple.
Upon returning to their respective caves, Ying Yuan, the San Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and the others all became solemn upon hearing the sound.
"Shizun has summoned us; there must be something important. Go immediately."
Yun Xiao spoke in a cold voice, then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the main hall of the Biyou Palace.
Qiong Xiao, Bixiao, Zhao Gongming, Ying Yuan, and others also rode their escape lights and followed.
Before long, the huge square in front of the main Biyou Palace was filled with Immortal Light and bustling with people.
Tens of thousands of Jie Sect Disciple stood in orderly rows according to their closeness to each other and their cultivation level.
The Four Direct Disciples— Duobao, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, and Gui Ling— stood at the very front.
The core disciples, including the Seven Attendant Immortals, Zhao Gongming, and the San Xiao, were next in rank.
Further back, there were countless Outer Sect Disciple.
The Tongtian Cult Master sat upright on a high platform Cloud Bed, his body surrounded by flowing clear light, obscuring his face. Only his vast and unfathomable saintly aura enveloped the entire area.
"Greetings, Shizun!"
Countless disciples bowed in unison, their voices resounding through the Yun Xiao.
No need for formalities.
The Tongtian Cult Master's voice rang out calmly, yet it clearly reached the ears of every disciple.
With Ten Thousand Immortals Come to Court, this is the Interception Sect he envisioned!
His gaze swept over the sea of disciples below, his voice steady and authoritative, resounding throughout the entire Biyou Palace square:
"Human Race shall rise, Three Sovereigns shall rule the world."
"Now that Human Way Destiny flourishing, Human Emperor will be born to unify the Human Race and lay the foundation for eternal prosperity."
"The Human Emperor's Struggle is related to the future rise and fall of our Interception Sect."
He paused, his gaze falling on Ying Yuan in the crowd.
"Ying Yuan."
Ying Yuan was taken aback. Amidst countless gazes of surprise and envy, he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Disciple is here."
The voice of the Tongtian Cult Master was devoid of emotion.
"You will be chosen to go and assist a virtuous person in this Human Emperor's Struggle, to seek the Human Way Destiny, and to enhance the prestige of our Interception Sect."
These words immediately sparked a murmur of discussion in the square.
Countless gazes were fixed on Ying Yuan.
In the eyes of most disciples, Ying Yuan's cultivation was only at the Mysterious Immortal; how could he possibly shoulder such a great responsibility?
Not only is their cultivation level low, but their comprehension is also poor.
Many people remember that this guy was Mysterious Immortal at the peak Primordial Era ago, but he hasn't broken through to Golden Immortal yet.
Zhao Gongming's pupils contracted, and his resentment towards Ying Yuan grew even stronger.
The Tongtian Cult Master seemed oblivious to the reaction below, and he raised his hand in a gesture of nonchalance.
A wisp of Chaos light flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a precious pearl containing endless Chaos energy, which hovered in front of Ying Yuan.
The breath of every disciple in the square caught in their throat.
"The Chaos Bead?!"
Zhao Gongming was dumbfounded.
How did the Tongtian Cult Master obtain this thing?
That's one thing, but it seems Tongtian is going to bestow this treasure upon Ying Yuan. Why should he do that?!
Let alone Zhao Gongming, Transmigrator with a weak will.
Even Duobao and his close disciples showed shock and envy in their eyes.
Ying Yuan was also surprised that Tongtian cared about him so much, even taking out the Chaos Bead for him.
Hmm... He really didn't want to leave the Interception Sect.
The voice of the Tongtian Cult Master rang out again, but only Ying Yuan could hear it:
"This treasure is for your self-defense; do not disappoint your master's expectations."
"Disciple...accepts the order!" Ying Yuan solemnly accepted the Chaos Bead.
On the high platform, the Tongtian Cult Master nodded slightly, but his heart was filled with joy.
[Ding! The host bestows upon disciple "Ying Yuan" the Chaos Treasure "Chaos Bead"!]
[Triggered a critical hit bonus of 10,000 times!]
[Congratulations, host! Your cultivation level has increased to the Twelfth Layer of Primordial Realm!]
The Tongtian Cult Master suppressed his excitement, maintaining a calm expression as he glanced at his other disciples:
"The Human Emperor's Struggle is no small matter. If you are interested, you may also go to the Human Race lands to gain experience."
"We will obey our Master's decree!" the disciples replied in unison.
The Tongtian Cult Master said no more, and his figure slowly disappeared into the clear light.
After a brief silence, the square of the Biyou Palace suddenly erupted into a clamor.
Countless gazes once again focused on Ying Yuan.
Zhao Gongming stood in the crowd, watching Ying Yuan being surrounded by several familiar Outer Sect Disciple offering their congratulations. His eyes were so gloomy they were almost dripping with water.
The Chaos Bead! To assist the Human Emperor! To seize the Human Way Destiny!
These should have been his opportunities!
"System!" he roared inwardly, "I want to compete for the Human Way Destiny too! Is there any way?"
[Ding! Host has triggered a major plot event, ' The Human Emperor's Struggle '!]
[Temporary Quest Issued: Seek Human Way Destiny]
[Mission Objective: Assist Human Emperor Xuanyuan, gain his trust, and seize as much Human Way Destiny as possible]
[Task Rewards: Rewards will be based on the amount of luck acquired, corresponding attributes and cultivation level.]
[Special Note: You may try triggering the ' Co-Lord of the Human Race Ruler' event, which has a chance to reward you with a golden legendary item!]
A glint of light flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes.
Very good!
Ying Yuan, do you think that having the Chaos Bead and having a teacher to guide you guarantees victory?
We'll see!
Without lingering, he turned and transformed into a streak of light, leaving Golden Ao Island directly.
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
The Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on his Cloud Bed, his face showing neither sorrow nor joy.
Below, Guangchengzi stood respectfully in attendance.
"Guangchengzi," Yuanshi Tianzun slowly began to speak.
"Disciple is here." Guangchengzi bowed.
The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable said calmly, "The Human Emperor's Struggle is a matter of destiny, and our Chan Sect cannot remain aloof."
Guangchengzi's heart skipped a beat; he had a vague premonition.
"As the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, you possess profound blessings and your cultivation has reached the Perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal. You are capable of shouldering this important responsibility."
The gaze of the Yuanshi Tianzun fell upon Guangchengzi.
"Would you be willing to travel to the land of Human Race, seek out that destined person, assist them in becoming the Human Emperor, and secure a share of fortune for my Chan Sect?"
Yuanshi stared intently at Guangchengzi, his smile unchanged.
However, Guangchengzi found that look in his eyes very strange.
Guangchengzi did not hesitate and prostrated himself, saying, "This disciple is willing to go! I will certainly not fail my teacher's expectations!"
He was overjoyed!
The Teacher of the Human Emperor! Assisting the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!
This was an opportunity he knew he had come from another world!
Now that the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable has personally appointed him, it is perfectly legitimate!
With his Slaughter System and precognitive abilities, he was confident he could crush all his opponents and monopolize this great fortune!
"You may go now."
Yuanshi waved his sleeve, sending Guangchengzi out of the Yuxu Palace.
He naturally knew that Guangchengzi was Transmigrator.
He finally managed to travel to this Prehistoric World; shouldn't he be allowed to enjoy himself for a while?
They'll only work hard when they're put in the way.
After leaving Zixiao Palace, the respect on Guangchengzi's face was instantly replaced by burning ambition.
"The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan... the Human Way Destiny... all belong to me!"
He determined the direction, then mounted his escape light and sped towards the Middle-earth Great Land, where Human Race gathered.
