She is indeed a beauty, but too much of a danger to the nation and its people, almost destroying the Great Shang's empire. She is not to be taken.
"My loyal minister Deng, today you have slain a treacherous official and three demons. I, your King, shall bestow upon you the title of Grand Tutor of Great Shang."
As Emperor Xin's words fell, he finally felt a sense of superiority and presence.
The current situation of Great Shang was worrying.
The matter of attacking the rebels of Xiqi could only be entrusted to Deng Jiugong.
Upon hearing this, Deng Jiugong did not reply immediately but fell into deep thought.
Becoming the Grand Tutor of Great Shang would mean he could command the entire Great Shang. Then, the passes he guarded would not be limited to Three Mountains Pass.
He could have the final say over all the guarded locations in the entire Great Shang!
Clearly, when Wen Zhong was alive, he had not made good use of his authority, allowing many of Great Shang's passes to be breached one by one, and he himself ultimately died at Juelong Ridge!
However, Wen Zhong died at the hands of Chan Sect's Yun Zhongzi and his Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar. A Grand Unity Golden Immortal had intervened. With Wen Zhong's strength and without the aid of Sect of Interception powerhouses, it was a lost cause.
"Congratulations, Grand Tutor Deng!"
"Congratulations, Grand Tutor Deng!"
Before Deng Jiugong could speak, many ministers below began to exclaim.
Clearly, Deng Jiugong's status had soared to Grand Tutor of Great Shang, and they were eager to curry favor.
Even though Fei Zhong and You Hun were dead, there were still plenty of sycophants among the civil and military officials present.
However, Deng Jiugong paid them no mind. He looked at Emperor Xin, his expression unchanged, and said:
"This is acceptable!"
Although he had no ambition for officialdom, who would be willing to be a mere soldier when they could occupy a high position!
At this moment, he could somewhat understand Kong Xuan's thoughts.
Every time he mentioned a promotion for Kong Xuan, Kong Xuan would just smile and not refuse.
Although Kong Xuan also had no ambition for officialdom, if you made him an ordinary soldier, he would certainly be unhappy.
This could be considered a small comfort!
Right, I have two Sign-in Cards now. This Nine Chambers Hall, with the Human King presiding over it, is a special place. I should sign in here!
Deng Jiugong thought to himself.
He immediately used a Sign-in Card.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for signing in at Nine Chambers Hall and obtaining the Human Emperor Art!"
As the System's notification sounded, Deng Jiugong's expression trembled.
The Human Emperor Art, was this prepared for Emperor Xin?
Emperor Xin possessed heaven-defying potential; this was meant to help Emperor Xin climb towards the position of Human Emperor!
"Grand Tutor Deng!"
Just then, Emperor Xin called out softly.
Clearly, Emperor Xin was still shaken after Deng Jiugong slew the three demons.
Knowing Deng Jiugong's prowess, Emperor Xin felt very insecure.
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Deng Jiugong said.
"Please come to the side hall for a chat!"
After Emperor Xin finished speaking, he got up and went to the side hall.
In the side hall!
Emperor Xin looked at Deng Jiugong, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"I recall that you, Grand Tutor, did not possess such strength before."
"Did you cultivate immortal arts?"
He finished speaking and waited for Deng Jiugong's reply.
"That's right!"
"I have indeed cultivated immortal arts!"
Deng Jiugong said slowly.
He already had some cultivation, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to slay the three demons.
"May I ask who your master is?"
Emperor Xin asked.
"I have not apprenticed myself to anyone," Deng Jiugong replied.
"This!!!"
Emperor Xin found it somewhat difficult to comprehend.
Generally, those who cultivate immortal arts either become disciples of powerful figures from the Primordial Era or under the tutelage of Saints.
Deng Jiugong could not have cultivated immortal arts out of thin air.
The only explanation was that Deng Jiugong had obtained some heaven-defying opportunity.
"Grand Tutor, do you know that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of our Human Race all became disciples of Saint's disciples, yet the final outcome was being imprisoned in Huoyun Cave!"
As his words fell, Emperor Xin couldn't help but sigh.
Tragic and lamentable!
Upon hearing this, Deng Jiugong's expression froze.
Although Emperor Xin didn't have much cultivation, he knew a great deal about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race.
It was also because all the human ancestors were imprisoned that the Human Race gradually declined, and by the time of Emperor Wu Yi, there was a will to defy the heavens.
Now, with Emperor Xin, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation had begun!!!
At this moment, after hearing Emperor Xin's words, Deng Jiugong began to understand why Emperor Xin was being schemed against by the Heavenly Dao forces.
Emperor Xin lamented that the human ancestors were imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao, and now, the humans in the Primordial Era almost all became disciples of Saints, thus becoming a part of the Heavenly Dao forces.
To this day, the Human Race no longer has its own heritage, and thus cannot truly rise.
"I know a little about this matter!"
"I naturally have no connection with the disciples of Saints!"
Deng Jiugong said.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's expression was filled with surprise.
"Good, good!"
Emperor Xin said "good" twice in succession.
"I implore you, Grand Tutor, to accept me, Emperor Xin, as your disciple and teach me the methods of cultivation!"
As Emperor Xin's words fell, with a plop, he knelt before Deng Jiugong.
As long as there was no connection to the disciples of Saints, there was great potential.
Seeing this scene, Deng Jiugong was dumbfounded.
"This!!!"
Staring blankly at Emperor Xin, Deng Jiugong's expression was somewhat dazed.
Previously, he didn't kneel before Emperor Xin, but now Emperor Xin was kneeling before him.
"Your Majesty, please rise quickly, this is absolutely not appropriate!"
Deng Jiugong tried to help Emperor Xin up, but Emperor Xin refused.
"Since Grand Tutor knows about the matter of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of our Human Race, you should know that although I am the Human King, I do not possess the cultivation of a Human King!"
"Previously, if I, Emperor Xin, had the cultivation of a Human King, how could I have been deceived by the three demons, and how could my Great Shang dynasty have weakened to this extent!"
Emperor Xin lamented.
"I implore you, Grand Tutor, to accept me as your disciple!"
As Emperor Xin's words fell, he had a look of certainty that Deng Jiugong would accept him.
"Ding dong, detecting the host's current predicament, God-Tier Options are activated!"
"Option 1: Refuse to accept Emperor Xin as a disciple, no reward!"
"Option 2: Accept Emperor Xin as a disciple, pass down the Human Emperor Great Dao, reward the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler!"
As the System's prompt sounded, Deng Jiugong's expression trembled violently.
Originally, Deng Jiugong had the idea of passing down the Human Emperor Art to Emperor Xin.
