In the Zixiao Palace, Hongjun Daozu sat high on the main seat and spoke expressionlessly.
"It has been several thousand years now, have you still not reached a consensus?"
"Master, this disciple still believes that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race should be chosen from among the virtuous individuals of the Human Race.
Then, the Profound Gate Three Sects should send people to assist them, thereby achieving the ultimate goal of the Human Race's great prosperity.
As for who is suitable to be the Heavenly Emperor for the reconstruction of the Heavenly Court, this disciple's subordinate, Grand Master Xuandu, has no desires or demands and is most suitable for the position of Heavenly Emperor."
Lord Lao spoke directly to Hongjun Daozu.
Hongjun Daozu nodded after hearing this, then looked at the other Saints.
Without even needing Hongjun Daozu to speak, Maitreya Taoist was the first to speak.
"Master, Senior Brother Laozi said that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should be chosen from among the Human Race, and this disciple has no objection whatsoever.
Moreover, this disciple will definitely send out elite disciples to the Human Race to instruct the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
But as for the candidate for the Heavenly Emperor for the reconstruction of the Heavenly Court, this disciple believes that Maitreya Taoist, my subordinate, is very suitable."
As soon as Maitreya Taoist finished speaking, Master Tongtian couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Why do you of the West need to interfere in the affairs of my East? Is it that there are no capable people in my East?
My eldest disciple, Hong Ze, can definitely take on the position of Heavenly Emperor."
"What Senior Brother Tongtian said is correct. The affairs of the East should be resolved by the people of the East. There is no need to trouble the two fellow Daoists," Nüwa Niangniang said.
Primordial Heavenly Venerable had not spoken the entire time, and his gaze had never left Hongjun Daozu.
For thousands of years, the Six Saints had been discussing in the Zixiao Palace who was qualified to be the new master of the Heavenly Court and who was qualified to become the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race.
Even Saints have their own selfish desires and all hoped that their own disciples would take the position of Heavenly Emperor.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the Six Saints had been arguing, and even now, they had not reached a unified opinion.
Primordial Heavenly Venerable also greatly hoped that his registered eldest disciple, Old Immortal of the South Pole, could become the master of the Heavenly Court.
However, he noticed that Haotian and Yaochi's faces had an expression of barely concealed smiles.
This couldn't help but make Primordial Heavenly Venerable feel that perhaps the candidate for the master of the Heavenly Court had already been decided long ago.
Hongjun Daozu asking them to come here to discuss was merely a formality.
Especially after Lord Lao recommended Grand Master Xuandu and Maitreya Taoist recommended Maitreya Taoist.
The expressionless face of Hongjun Daozu made Primordial Heavenly Venerable even more certain.
Immediately, he spoke directly, "Master, this disciple also finds the method of Eldest Senior Brother selecting the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors for the Human Race to be very reasonable.
Moreover, this disciple believes that Junior Sister Nüwa first created the Human Race and then mended the sky to benefit the Human Race.
Even Junior Sister Nüwa's brother, Fuxi, also perished to protect the Human Race during The Great Lich Tribulation.
Therefore, this disciple believes that Fuxi's true spirit should be sent into the Six Paths of Reincarnation to be reborn as a human, and then he should take on the position of Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race.
As for the reconstruction of the Heavenly Court, there cannot be only a Heavenly Emperor without an Empress of Heaven.
Therefore, this disciple believes that Junior Brother Haotian and Junior Sister Yaochi are the most suitable candidates to serve as the Heavenly Emperor and Empress of Heaven in the Heavenly Court."
Primordial Heavenly Venerate's flattery was so resounding that it caused Hongjun Daozu to nod in satisfaction.
"Since that is the case, this matter is settled. Nüwa, send Fuxi's true spirit to the Six Paths of Reincarnation as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time for him to become the Human Race's Heavenly Emperor."
Nüwa Niangniang hurriedly rose and bowed to Hongjun Daozu, "Thank you, Master. After returning, Nüwa will personally go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
At the same time, Nüwa Niangniang did not forget to cast a grateful look at Primordial Heavenly Venerate, thanking him for recommending her elder brother.
Then, Hongjun Daozu waved his hand at Haotian and Yaochi, and instantly, changes occurred in their bodies.
Haotian transformed into a handsome man in his thirties, and Yaochi also became a stunning beauty of sixteen.
At this moment, Haotian was wearing the Heavenly Emperor's royal robe and crown, exuding the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor from head to toe.
Yaochi was wearing the Empress of Heaven's attire and phoenix coronet, appearing graceful and noble from head to toe, with the demeanor of a mother figure to the world.
The two came before Hongjun Daozu, knelt on the ground, and respectfully bowed and thanked Hongjun Daozu.
Hongjun Daozu reached out and grabbed into the void, and a precious mirror appeared in his hand.
"This treasure is called the Haotian Mirror. It can observe the thirty-six layers of heaven above and the eighteen layers of hell in the Netherworld Underworld below. Today, this poor Taoist will give it to you so that you can use it to observe all things in heaven and earth."
Haotian hurriedly extended both hands, respectfully received the Haotian Mirror, and bowed and thanked Hongjun Daozu again.
Hongjun Daozu reached out and grabbed into the void again, and a golden hairpin appeared in Hongjun Daozu's hand.
"This treasure is called the Golden Hairpin. It has the effect of drawing the Heavenly River and the divine ability to turn nothingness into reality. Today, this poor Taoist will bestow it upon you to rectify the laws of the Heavenly Court."
Yaochi accepted the Golden Hairpin, bowed repeatedly in thanks, and then directly inserted the Golden Hairpin into her hair.
Subsequently, three Peach Trees of Immortality appeared before Hongjun Daozu. Hongjun Daozu waved his hand, and the three Peach Trees of Immortality instantly transformed into three thousand six hundred trees.
"These are Peach Trees of Immortality, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots. You shall take them to the Heavenly Court and plant them in the Peach Orchard of Immortality, to be used for future banquets for the immortals."
Haotian and Yaochi bowed to Hongjun Daozu again, respectfully collecting the three thousand six hundred Peach Trees of Immortality.
"Your Junior Brother Haotian and Junior Sister Yaochi are just beginning to take charge of the Heavenly Court. They still need your help, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.
Why don't you each select some disciples from your sects and send them to the Heavenly Court to assist them?"
As soon as Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, Primordial Heavenly Venerate was the first to speak.
"Master, rest assured. After this disciple returns to Mount Kunlun, I will send the Old Immortal of the South Pole to the Heavenly Court to assist Junior Brother Haotian and Junior Sister Yaochi."
Lord Lao was even more direct. He immediately waved his hand and separated his benevolent corpse avatar from his body.
"This is this disciple's benevolent corpse avatar, Lord Lao. Today, this disciple will send him to the Heavenly Court to preside over the Tushita Palace and assist Junior Brother and Junior Sister in taking charge of the Heavenly Court."
Lord Lao actually sent his benevolent corpse avatar to serve in the Heavenly Court, which greatly surprised Primordial Heavenly Venerate, who thought to himself that he was still not as good as the Eldest Senior Brother.
In contrast, Master Tongtian did not take any of this to heart and spoke in a very perfunctory manner.
"Master, this disciple cannot make decisions for my disciples. After this disciple returns to Golden Turtle Island's Biyou Palace, I will announce this matter to all the disciples.
At that time, those who are willing to go to the Heavenly Court to assist Junior Brother Haotian and Junior Sister Yaochi, this disciple will personally send them to the Heavenly Court to serve."
The Taoist Jieyin had a mournful expression and directly refused, "This disciple's Western region is sparsely populated with talent. I fear there is no one to go to the Heavenly Court to serve. Please forgive Junior Brother and Junior Sister."
Nüwa Niangniang had no disciples, so naturally, she didn't need to say anything.
Therefore, Hongjun Daozu didn't wait for Nüwa Niangniang to express her stance and simply nodded.
"Since that is the case, this matter is settled. You should all return quickly and prepare.
Also, I should inform you that a new Tribulation will begin in ten thousand years. You should make preparations early."
After speaking, Hongjun Daozu disappeared from Zixiao Palace. The Six Saints, along with Haotian and Yaochi, bowed in farewell.
