Seeing his disciples enter, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke directly.

"Today, I have called you here to give you a task.

Now that the Human Race has established the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it signifies that the Human Race will become the master of this Tribulation.

It also indicates that the next Heavenly Tribulation, following The Great Lich Tribulation, is about to arrive.

In the first Tribulation of Long Han, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races perished. In The Great Lich Tribulation, the Lich races perished.

Before these two great tribulations occurred, both the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races, and the Lich races, were the masters of their respective tribulations.

Therefore, I and your Eldest Grand-Uncle deduce that the protagonist of the next Heavenly Tribulation will be the Human Race, and even our Xuanmen disciples will be implicated.

To cope with the upcoming next Heavenly Tribulation, arrangements must be made in advance.

Now, the key figure of the next Tribulation has appeared, but I cannot yet deduce his identity.

Therefore, I can only ask you to investigate this matter. Only by finding this key figure of the great Tribulation can our Elucidation Sect disciples stand invincible."

After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Guang Chengzi immediately asked Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Master, what are the characteristics of this key figure of the next Tribulation, and how should this disciple search for him?"

Guang Chengzi's question hit the mark. Finding someone in this Primordial World was already like searching for a needle in a haystack.

If the person had no characteristics and was an existence of unknown nature, it would be even more impossible to find them.

Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but think to himself, If I knew his characteristics, what would I need you for?

Fortunately, at this moment, Laozi spoke, "Since he is the key figure of the next Heavenly Tribulation, he must have extraordinary qualities.

As you travel through the Primordial World, you must pay close attention to anyone with special abilities.

It is best to take them as disciples, then bring them to Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace for your Master to handle.

Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not resort to violence against them, otherwise, it will inevitably create immense karma."

Laozi's words were as good as saying nothing, leaving the Elucidation Sect disciples even more confused.

Finally, Taoist Randeng spoke up, helping Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi provide an explanation that wasn't quite an explanation.

Taoist Randeng stepped forward two steps, bowed to Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, and said.

"Teacher, Eldest Grand-Uncle, the key figure of every Heavenly Tribulation is someone blessed with great fortune.

It is precisely because of this great fortune that things eventually develop to an extreme, leading to being incompatible with heaven and earth, and triggering a Heavenly Tribulation.

Doesn't that mean that the key figure of the next Heavenly Tribulation should also possess immense fortune?

The best manifestation of being blessed with fortune is cultivating faster than ordinary people and having continuous good luck while traveling through the Primordial World.

Perhaps even by his side, there will be top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures accompanying him.

Only in this way can he be considered the key figure of the Tribulation, otherwise, how could he trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?"

Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi nodded simultaneously, and then Yuanshi Tianzun spoke directly.

"Randeng is right. The key figure of this next Tribulation will first of all cultivate absolutely faster than ordinary people, and secondly, he will definitely be accompanied by top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"So you only need to search based on these two characteristics, and you will surely be able to bring this key figure into my Elucidation Sect."

At this, the disciples finally understood. They immediately bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi and accepted the command.

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun had sent the disciples away, White Crane Boy stepped into the Jade Void Palace.

He then spoke to Yuanshi Tianzun, saying, "Master, Third Master has arrived."

Hearing that Master Tongtian had come, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi showed expressions of confusion.

Yuanshi Tianzun even suspected that Master Tongtian might have also learned about the Child of the Great Dao.

So he immediately looked at Laozi beside him, and seeing Laozi shake his head at him, he finally felt relieved.

Although they were all Saints, Master Tongtian was, after all, the younger brother of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

When a younger brother comes to see his elder brothers, the proper etiquette must still be observed, especially since Yuanshi Tianzun was particularly fond of finding fault.

Therefore, every time Master Tongtian came to Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace, White Crane Boy would first report it.

Before long, White Crane Boy pushed open the door of Biyou Palace and respectfully bowed to Master Tongtian.

At the same time, behind White Crane Boy, Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi had also come.

After all, both sides were equally noble Saints. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi were the elder brothers, they could not be too arrogant.

Since Master Tongtian had sent someone to announce his arrival, they naturally had to personally go out to greet him, so as not to lose face.

When the three brothers met, a round of pleasantries was naturally unavoidable. Then they entered the Jade Void Palace and took their seats as host and guests.

Yuanshi Tianzun then spoke, saying, "I wonder why Third Junior Brother has the leisure today to come to my Jade Void Palace?

Usually, even if I wanted to invite you, you would make all sorts of excuses and were unwilling to come as a guest to my Jade Void Palace."

To be honest, Master Tongtian really didn't want to come and see Yuanshi Tianzun. First of all, Yuanshi Tianzun paid too much attention to etiquette, which made Master Tongtian feel very uncomfortable.

Secondly, every time he saw Yuanshi Tianzun, he would be lectured. It was as if he were his disciple, with endless nagging.

Based on these two points alone, let alone a Saint, anyone else would probably be unwilling to come and suffer this hardship.

However, Master Tongtian couldn't say this out loud and could only laugh and prevaricate.

"What are you saying, Second Senior Brother? I have tens of thousands of disciples under my command, and I'm busy teaching them every day. Where would I have the leisure to come and visit Second Senior Brother?

If it weren't for the imminent birth of Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, I probably wouldn't have been able to spare the time to come to Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace to meet with my two elder brothers."

Hearing Tongtian mention the birth of Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun finally remembered this matter.

They thought to themselves that they had been so busy looking for the Child of the Great Dao during this time that they had forgotten about the birth of the Human Race's Heavenly Emperor.

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately spoke to Master Tongtian, saying, "So Third Junior Brother has come for this matter.

Then I wonder what Third Junior Brother's plans are? Are you preparing to have me send someone down the mountain to take the Heavenly Emperor as a disciple?"

One must say that this Yuanshi Tianzun was truly shameless. Before even saying a few words, he wanted to claim the title of the Heavenly Emperor's Master.

Even Laozi, who was beside him, nodded in agreement with Yuanshi Tianzun, feeling that the Heavenly Emperor's Master should come from the Elucidation Sect.

Although Laozi also hoped it would be Grand Master Xuandu from his own sect, he was currently asking a favor from Yuanshi Tianzun, so he had to grant him this favor.

However, what Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun didn't expect was that Master Tongtian shook his head without hesitation.
