The Sages Marveled-Was Laozi the Biggest Beneficiary After All?

The powerful figures looked extremely grim, filled with shock and anger.

If this level of cultivation at the early stage of Quasi-Sage were in their previous lives, they could easily defeat and manipulate him with one hand, even with their eyes closed.

But for them now, it is an insurmountable chasm.

No matter how powerful one is, it is difficult to reach the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal and defeat Quasi-Sage from a lower level.

Moreover, they have already exhausted themselves after a series of major battles.

At this moment, all the powerful beings felt as if their peaches had been stolen. After working so hard for so long, at the most crucial moment, someone had interfered.

They weren't there when we were working, but they came and stole our food when it was time to eat.

How can they be so shameless?

Halfway up Mount Shouyang, the Manshan Clan, Cangwu, and other Human Race powerhouses, whose injuries had mostly healed, all looked rather grim upon seeing Xuandu's arrival.

Xuandu and the others naturally recognized him and were quite familiar with him. He was a former Innate Human Race, one of the most talented people in the Human Race. He was supposed to lead the Human Race to prosperity, but he left during the most difficult time.

Now they've suddenly returned to vie for the Human Emperor, claiming it's for the good of Human Race —such words are laughable.

The Manshan Clan and others were indignant. Putting everything else aside, they were the first to object to Xuandu becoming the Human Emperor.

Mount Sumeru.

"Is this a really ruthless move by Laozi? Is he trying to monopolize the fate of the Human Race?" Zhun Ti said with a dissatisfied look. Xuandu's appearance was really unexpected.

Xuandu, as the chief disciple of the Human Sect, is now vying for the title of Human Emperor. Laozi has reaped all the benefits.

"Heh, this isn't necessarily all Laozi idea; he wouldn't be so bold as to arrange it this way."

Jieyin smiled faintly, his expression unreadable, as if he had already seen through everything.

Zhun Ti naturally understood the implication and deeper meaning in his words.

"No matter what, I'm going to make a fortune this time, and I'll pocket the Laozi's share of the profits."

Zhun Ti sighed, feeling only regret and envy, but there was nothing he could do; after all, they had no connection with the Human Race.

Wa Palace.

Nuwa was somewhat bewildered.

This isn't right; it's suddenly not playing by the rules!

What happened? We clearly agreed on this before.

Why did Laozi send Xuandu to seize the Human Emperor?

Nuwa knew in her heart that this was unlikely to be Laozi's idea; he wouldn't dare to do it.

It was actually the Dao Ancestor was directing things behind the scenes.

This fate has changed far too quickly; what are they planning to do?

On Golden Turtle Island, Tongtian, seated Tongtian in the Biyu Palace, was also closely monitoring the matter.

"Hmph! So this was your plan!"

This sudden turn of events ruined his plans. Laozi directly dispatched Xuandu, leaving the other contenders as mere supporting characters.

"Those two traitors... going there was as good as not going at all, a waste of my magic treasure!"

Tongtian cursed inwardly. Before leaving, he had given the Green Lion White Elephant several magical treasures, but after these two were reincarnated, they either ate meat or grass and accomplished nothing.

It had absolutely no presence.

This made Tongtian wonder, "Aren't these magic treasures too easy to make?"

After being reincarnated, he slacked off and did nothing productive. The job was almost finished, and he was still just eating grass.

Why don't you guys go out and show your faces?

"You wicked disciples, wait until you return, and see how I deal with you!" Tongtian's face was taut, a flash of anger in his eyes. Letting these two reincarnate was truly the worst decision he had made in recent years.

"You all bear undeniable responsibility for my defeat in this game!"

He thought to himself that he had already divided the pots.

I never imagined that my first serious scheming and planning would end like this, without even making a ripple.

Is it possible to say that those two wicked disciples bear no responsibility whatsoever?

"It's a pity that Laozi and Yuanshi won one round against me."

After calming down, Tongtian couldn't help but sigh. No matter what the purpose was, once Xuandu became the Human Emperor, Laozi would be the biggest winner and beneficiary.

In retrospect, Minghe and the Duke of the East seem to be mere tools, used to deceive others; Laozi never intended for them to become the Human Emperor.

"Brother, brother, you're still as... cunning and treacherous as ever!" Tongtian shook his head slightly, thinking to himself.

Meanwhile, a beautiful place.

"It's starting, it's starting! Laozi 've sent out Xuandu, Innate Human Race. How interesting, I'd even forgotten he existed."

When Di Jun saw Xuandu appear, he immediately burst out laughing. This was not his fault; Xuandu rarely appeared and had no presence at all.

"They're panicking. I think this is probably Old Earthworm's idea; there's a deeper plan involved."

"It's all a waste of effort, a futile endeavor."

Tai Yi sneered, even putting on a show of regret and feigning concern.

At this moment, Ling Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged to the side, slowly got up, which attracted the attention of Tai Yi Di Jun.

"Third Brother, shall we make our move? Now?"

"That's about it..."

Ling Xiao's eyes shone brightly as he surveyed the surroundings. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, nodded, and calmly said to them:

"Let's set off now, come with me to give Ziwei one last push."

"Once Ziwei becomes a saint, we can fight however we want!"

"Haha... That's wonderful, absolutely brilliant!"

"Di Jun, "Tai Yi laughed, his face full of excitement, and then the three figures slowly disappeared.

Silently, without a ripple.

Meanwhile, on Mount Shouyang, a great battle was about to break out. Xuandu's act of reaping the benefits was naturally intolerable to the proud and arrogant powerful beings.

To top-tier experts like Minghe Qiangliang, Xuandu from their previous life was merely a junior, a younger brother among younger brothers.

Now that they have been reincarnated as humans and their cultivation has not yet recovered, they have come to show off their power and reap the fruits of victory. How can we back down?

"Without further ado, will you leave voluntarily, or do I have to take action?"

"My actions are in accordance with the will of Heaven, and I am destined to be the Human Emperor. I hope you can discern the secrets of Heaven, recognize reality, and not make mistakes for yourselves."

Xuandu stood atop the mountain, facing a group of powerful figures alone, a surge of heroic spirit rising within him.

This feeling of being the center of attention, of being an invincible force, of one person intimidating all powerful enemies, is incredibly captivating and mesmerizing.

Unconsciously, he looked towards the direction of Fire Cloud Cave, feeling a mix of melancholy and mockery.

Ziwei was once so glorious, but unfortunately, she ultimately chose the wrong side and was imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave.

"This is the consequence of going against the will of Heaven..."

The thought flashed by in an instant, Xuandu's eyes revealed majesty. The aura of Quasi-Sage emanated from him, pressing down on the group of powerful beings.

"Hmph! You've gotten your way, you little brat. If this were your past life, you wouldn't even be qualified to stand before me!"

Mocking and taunting voices rose from the crowd.

"Now that things have come to this, how can we back down?"

"Xuandu, I'd like to see if you have the ability to obtain the Kongtong Seal."

"Kill!"

At this moment, the powerful figures, united in their hatred of the enemy, tacitly joined forces to fight against Xuandu.
