The Dao Ancestor's Chosen Final Two Sages

The Duke of the East was utterly shocked. The Investiture of the Gods Scroll the Gods? All the powerful figures who died in the calamity would be included on this list, serving the Heavenly Court?

Could there really be such a terrifying artifact in the world?

"So, this is a massacre targeting the Human Race..."

The Duke of the East's mind stirred slightly, and a look of joy gradually appeared in his eyes.

A simple thought is enough to tell that the Heavenly Court, and even the Heavenly Dao itself, intends to suppress the rapidly growing Human Race.

The Human Emperor originally belonged to Xuandu, but due to an unexpected event, it was seized by Ling Xiao's attendant.

This led the Dao Ancestor's side to abandon the Human Race and decide to use drastic measures against them.

Thinking of this, the Duke of the East became even more excited. He had made the right decision to come and participate in such a momentous event; wouldn't his future be limitless?

There's no need to Human Race's purging!

Behind the Heavenly Court lies the immense power of the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao, making it the best choice for him.

He always had to choose sides, and this time he sided with the Heavenly Court.

"Your subordinate understands and is willing to serve His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Having figured all this out, Duke of the East cupped his hands in greeting and said with great excitement.

Stumbling and falling, he once again reached the pinnacle of his life.

Life is unpredictable, yet also constant.

"Very good, those immortals outside are now in your care. Soon, when the calamity begins, it will be your time to prove your worth."

"Our Heavenly Court 'Investiture of the Gods grand plan to confer titles upon gods still needs your contribution."

Haotian nodded slightly and spoke in a booming voice.

"We humbly obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!" the Duke of the East responded loudly, then his gaze shifted, and he continued, "Your Majesty, in order to better strengthen the power of our Heavenly Court..."

"Your Majesty, I would like to recruit the Queen Mother of the West, the Head of Female Immortals, to the Heavenly Court. With Head of Female Immortals, it will be easier to summon all the female immortals in the world. What does Your Majesty think?"

"Granted! Go ahead and do it!" Haotian waved his hand and agreed without hesitation.

The Duke of the East was overjoyed, then took his leave and began making preparations.

At this moment, he already regarded the Heavenly Court as his own home.

At the same time.

Laozi and Yuanshi arrived at the Purple Heaven Palace. To their surprise, Yaochi was also there, but she looked very unwell and dejected.

She came here to complain, hoping that the Dao Ancestor would give her and Haotian a fair competition, but how could Hongjun agree? He told her that Haotian had already attained enlightenment and it could not be changed.

Yaochi was so angry that her scalp tingled, and her dissatisfaction with Haotian grew stronger.

"Greetings, Master! May you live a long and healthy life." Laozi and Yuanshi bowed. They had come here at the summons of the Dao Ancestor, not voluntarily, and they had no idea what the Dao Ancestor wanted to instruct them on.

"Get up," Hongjun said without emotion, waving his hand to help the two up. He then continued, "I summoned you here to finalize the appointment of the last two saints."

"The last two holy positions?" Yaochi, standing to the side, was startled, her eyes revealing anticipation.

Do they have a share in these two sacred positions?

Laozi and Yuanshi bowed to each other and said, "Please give your instructions, Master."

It just so happens that they also needed to help Haotian implement this matter, and now that the Dao Ancestor has taken the initiative to bring it up, that couldn't be better.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Hongjun's gaze lingered on the two men for a moment before he spoke.

"Suggestion?"

Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a silent glance. Were they being asked to recommend a candidate?

Thinking of this, Yuanshi forward and said without hesitation, "Master, I have many talented disciples, all of whom are of high moral character and integrity. Please choose one to share your burdens."

Over the years, the Chan Sect has grown strong, and its disciples include the Twelve Golden Immortals, each a highly skilled and virtuous individual.

Thinking of these disciples, Yuanshi couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and satisfaction.

This is his advantage. Although his Laozi is now the leader of the All-Spirit Sect, his disciples are all strange and varied, even worse than the Interception Sect, and have no qualifications to become saints.

If the Chan Sect could produce another sage, it would undoubtedly become the number one sect.

Laozi looked at Yuanshi's hurried appearance and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. The Dao Ancestor had called them over, which clearly meant he had already made a decision.

My second brother is still as eager for quick success as ever; when faced with something like this, he immediately loses his composure.

Laozi, by rediscovering his roots, also rediscovered his former wisdom and confidence.

Yaochi looked extremely anxious, even placing her hopes on Laozi, as if to say, "Please recommend me!"

Hongjun observed everyone's reactions, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke, saying, "Yuanshi, although your disciples are of excellent character, their foundation is insufficient to become saints."

Yuanshi regretted it and said no more.

Upon hearing this, Yaochi's eyes lit up, feeling that her opportunity had arrived. After years of hard work and countless tribulations, her cultivation had reached the level of Quasi-Sage, and in essence, she had more than enough resources.

If Haotian hadn't become a saint, he would at most be only three points stronger than her.

With this in mind, Yaochi understood. The reason why the Dao Ancestor did not let her compete with Haotian was because there were still extra holy positions reserved for her.

In this way, the Heavenly Court would have two Sages, and she would still be on equal footing with Haotian.

Yaochi calmed down, sat cross-legged on the futon, and her aura changed drastically, exuding an aura of majesty that even made Laozi and Yuanshi turn their heads in bewilderment.

He wondered to himself: What's wrong with this person?

Hongjun remained expressionless, neither sad nor happy, and continued, "Looking across the entire Primordial World, I already know who is most qualified to become a saint."

"Please enlighten us, teacher," Laozi and Yuanshi said with serious expressions.

Yaochi's heart pounded wildly, her eyes sparkling with excitement; she was practically ready to stand up and give her acceptance speech.

But Hongjun's next words plunged Yaochi's heart into despair.

"Times have changed, and the tides have turned. These two are beings from ancient times: one is the Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Clan, and the other is the Yuanfeng undergoing rebirth."

Upon hearing this, Yaochi was stunned and speechless.

Laozi Yuanshi looked surprised. They never expected that the Dao Ancestor would choose these two ancient relics, fossils buried up to their necks, to be dug up again?

However, upon closer examination, there seems to be something fishy about the arrangement of these two candidates.

The Dragon Clan is now on the same side as the Human Race. If the Ancestral Dragon becomes a Heavenly Dao Sage, then the Dragon Clan will be on their side.

As for Yuanfeng, the Dao Ancestor must have his own plans.

Regardless of the circumstances, these two ancient overlords absolutely possessed the foundation and qualifications to do so.

At this point, Hongjun raised his hand and two streams of Primordial Violet Qi appeared in his palm. "I entrust this matter to you. There must be no mistakes."

"We will obey the Master's decree!" Laozi and Yuanshi received the Primordial Violet Qi and responded loudly.

Yaochi stared longingly at the Primordial Violet Qi, her eyes practically bulging with envy.

She was filled with despair at that moment.

She clearly still has a holy position to hold, yet they won't grant it to her!

"If there's nothing else, go ahead," Hongjun waved his hand and said calmly.

Immediately, Laozi and Yuanshi turned and left. Yaochi hesitated for a moment, but could only leave helplessly, not daring to cause any trouble.
