Gathering at Ji River

Ji Xuanyuan's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Ying Yuan under the tree.

This immortal master arrived a few days ago, saying he was acting on the orders of the Tongtian Cult Master.

But after arriving, aside from occasionally saying a few random things to myself, I mostly just fished and wrote in my diary from time to time.

He remained completely uninvolved in the dispute between Zhao Gongming and Guangchengzi, as if he were merely there to watch a play.

Ying Yuan noticed Ji Xuanyuan's gaze, grinned at him, and said, "You don't really want to choose me as your teacher, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanyuan felt quite troubled.

Just then, Hu Fangyuan arrived at this place, led by the burly man.

Sensing the undercurrents in this place, Hu Fangyuan gave an awkward smile.

"Ahem... I seem to have arrived at the worst possible time..."

"Why don't you two stop for now, so as not to frighten the child?"

Zhao Gongming and Guangchengzi were both taken aback.

Ji Xuanyuan was somewhat embarrassed.

He's actually over a hundred years old, but in front of these people he's just a child.

"Hu Fangyuan, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Gongming was somewhat surprised, but after merging with the original owner's memories, he naturally recognized the other party.

Guangchengzi also stopped smiling and looked Hu Fangyuan up and down.

"I'm here to assist Ji Xuanyuan," Hu Fangyuan, not intending to hide anything from the two of them.

Besides, he is originally Human Race, and it is his duty to promote the development of the Human Race.

Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi and Zhao Gongming immediately realized that Hu Fangyuan had also come to divide up the Human Way Destiny.

The Human Emperor's Tribulation is the key to the awakening of Humanity Dao.

As long as they can play an important role, they can receive the Human Way Destiny, which will be of great use whether for cultivation or warding off calamities.

The cake is only so big; how could they allow Hu Fangyuan to join in?

The atmosphere in the open space in front of the stone house was momentarily frozen.

At that moment, Ji Xuanyuan stepped forward, his clear, youthful voice breaking the silence:

"All of you are venerable immortal masters, and I, Xuanyuan, am too young and ignorant to make any rash choices."

"If you all do not reject me... you can all become the teachers of Xuanyuan."

"..."

Zhao Gongming and Guangchengzi were both stunned.

Hu Fangyuan blinked, surprised that this child possessed such courage.

Only Ying Yuan lazily cast his fishing rod, as if he hadn't heard anything.

As soon as Ji Xuanyuan spoke, Zhao Gongming and Guangchengzi exchanged a glance, then simultaneously snorted coldly and ceased their argument.

Hu Fangyuan smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Since Xuanyuan has such a broad mind, then let us each use our strengths."

Ying Yuan, having put away his fishing rod at some point, strolled over and patted Ji Xuanyuan on the shoulder:

"You're quite clever... but having many teachers means having many problems."

He glanced meaningfully at Zhao Gongming and Guangchengzi.

Ji Xuanyuan bowed. "This junior understands, but is still willing to give it a try."

Guangchengzi Whisk his whisk and said calmly, "In that case, This Poor Daoist will impart to you the Yuqing Immortal Method. I will begin the teachings here tomorrow morning."

Zhao Gongming was not to be outdone. "Our Interception Sect's Tongtian encompasses all things, and we may begin today."

Hu Fangyuan said solemnly, "My cultivation is shallow, but I can teach you the spirit of self-improvement of the Human Race and the principle of coexisting with all things."

Ying Yuan yawned. "I don't have much to teach, so I'll just teach you how to fish."

Ji Xuanyuan bowed again, his gaze clear and firm:

"Xuanyuan, thank you, teachers."

Above the distant mountains, amidst the clouds.

Xuan Du stood beside Laozi and asked softly, "Shizun, this doesn't seem to be the predetermined path of fate?"

Laozi Tzu looked down with a calm expression.

"Fate is never predetermined."

"Your junior brother has already gone to build momentum for Ji Xuanyuan; we'll just have to watch."

Xuan Du nodded.

His Shizun established his religion based on Humanity Dao, so naturally he was planning this so-called Human Emperor's Tribulation.

Since the sage would not personally intervene, these disciples naturally became pawns in the sage's hands.

As for why his Shizun didn't let him participate in the Human Emperor Tribulation, but instead chose Lin Yan, who had just broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal, he didn't know either.

Shizun must have had a deeper meaning in doing this!

Laozi sensed Xuan Du's inner thoughts but offered no further explanation.

Who knows how many Transmigrator were involved in this Human Emperor's Calamity...

According to Laozi, in the eyes of Transmigrator, Xuan Du was the greatest traitor.

If Xuan Du were to participate in the Human Emperor's Tribulation, who knows how he'd get killed by the Transmigrator...

Laozi had given this matter considerable thought before deciding to involve Lin Yan in the Human Emperor's Tribulation.

Firstly, it allows Lin Yan to interact more with these second-generation disciples and integrate into the Prehistoric World.

Secondly, he has a chat group with a bunch of group members who can offer suggestions, and he can act as Ji Xuanyuan's Military Counselor when the time comes.

Now that disciples of the four religions have begun participating in the Human Emperor's Tribulation, it seems the Heavenly Court will also be unable to remain idle.

The Heavenly Court has just been almost completely rebuilt.

Although Hao Tian and Yao Chi were bestowed titles by Hongjun, few innate deities chose to join the Heavenly Court.

After the Witch-Demon Calamity.

Many Great Power only wanted to cultivate in seclusion and live in seclusion, and had no interest in joining the Heavenly Court to manage the Prehistoric World.

Seeing that the Heavenly Court was short-handed, Laozi sent his Good Corpse to the Heavenly Court to oversee things and relieve some of the pressure on Hao Tian.

Then, Laozi Tzu opened the "Prehistoric World Chat Group".

After the Witch-Demon, this chat group expanded considerably.

Those Transmigrator were dealt with also joined the chat group.

The entire group was almost entirely filled with awkward chatter from those few time Transmigrator, while the saints silently watched and ate their melodrama.

[East Prince Gong]: "The current timeline should be the Human Emperor's Tribulation. How many Transmigrator do you think there will be this time?"

[Great Emperor Fengdu]: "Are you that idle in the pit? Spending all day chatting in the group?"

[East Prince Gong]: "Heavenly Dao has bestowed upon me a black slave, so I've become quite idle."

[The Outer-Heaven Demon]: "..."

[Candle Dragon]: "Ugh... when will this end?!"

[Yang Mei]: "Why don't we join forces and punish Heavenly Dao?"

[The Deepest Affection in the Prehistoric World]: "You guys go ahead, my wife is waiting for me!"

I never expected that Laozi would start openly plotting things in chat groups.

Even though he rarely speaks, he used his administrator privileges to send a group announcement.

[Taiqing]: "Everyone, don't say anything that's detrimental to unity."

[Great Emperor Fengdu]: "???"

[East Prince Gong]: "Oh no, Laozi 've been tricked too!"

[Minghe]: "The children are not good; there's a traitor among them. Abort the deal."

Laozi just smiled when he saw the content in the group chat.

As a sage, Laozi was certainly aware of the various "memes" circulating throughout the Myriad Worlds.

He had seen these Transmigrator making jokes in chat groups before.

This is my first time trying to use a meme...

It seems like it's actually quite fun!

Xuan Du, who was standing to the side, saw Laozi suddenly smile and felt like he was seeing a ghost.

What's going on?

His Shizun has been possessed?!

Xuan Du had long heard of Outer-Heaven Demon who liked to possess the beings of the Prehistoric World world, but he never expected to actually encounter one this time.

Laozi realized that Xuan Du was still nearby, and quickly suppressed his smile.

"Xuan Du, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"N-nothing..."

Xuan Du quickly turned his head away.

He's in great danger now. This person who seems to be my teacher is actually a Outer-Heaven Demon!

Laozi tapped Xuan Du on the head, "Prehistoric World Saints cannot be possessed by Outer-Heaven Demon."

The True Spirit of Heavenly Dao Sage resides in the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible for him to be possessed.

Unless those systems can seize the Heavenly Dao Authority from Heavenly Dao, possessing a saint's body is simply a pipe dream.

"Alright, let's go Shouyang Mountain."
