Chapter 85 The Pangu Palace divides the teachers of the Human Emperor; Xuan Chu secretly digs a pit
Chapter 85: The Pangu Palace divides the teachers of the Human Emperor, and Xuan Chu secretly digs a pit for Hong Jun.
The situation of the human race is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the restoration of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is imminent. Since Xuan Chu has seized the Kongtong Seal, a treasure of human fortune, Hong Jun has no choice but to risk coming to the Pangu Palace to discuss the matter with Xuan Chu.
"Fellow Daoist, the human race has become the protagonist of heaven and earth, but the great prosperity of the human race still requires the rule of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have their own destiny, but they need virtuous and capable people to guide them to their rightful place. Fellow Daoist, you hold the Kongtong Seal, and the teachers of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors need to listen to your opinions." Hongjun said.
"Hongjun, you don't need to worry about that. Although I don't have as many disciples as your Xuanmen, I'm more than capable of finding a few virtuous and capable people to serve as the Emperor's teachers. Please go back." Xuan Chu waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, Hongjun frowned. He knew that Xuan Chu was a difficult person to talk to, but he did not expect him to be so cold and unapproachable. He had even lowered his stance and come to the Pangu Palace in person.
"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken," Hongjun shook his head and said, "The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were ordained by the Great Dao. In order to maintain the balance between the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao, neither side can monopolize the teachings of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. I do not believe that with your wisdom, you would not understand this principle. Why are you being so aggressive?"
Xuan Chu was a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal. Although he did not directly control the Earthly Dao, he could not possibly be unaware of the Great Dao's will. Hong Jun was well aware of this. The reason Xuan Chu said that was simply to make things difficult for him and to gain the upper hand in the negotiation.
"Hongjun, you're right. I understand all of this. Since you've come to the Pangu Palace, it means you already have a plan in mind. Why don't you tell me your thoughts?" Xuan Chu said with a smile. Since Hongjun dared to come to the Pangu Palace, he must have his own ideas. Xuan Chu wasn't in a hurry to propose his conditions, but rather wanted to hear Hongjun's thoughts.
Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "That's right. There are eight emperors in total, including the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Among them, the Heavenly Sovereign, the Earthly Sovereign, and the Tai Sovereign have the greatest merit, followed by the Five Emperors. The person destined for the Heavenly Sovereign is a disciple of my Xuanmen. I'm sure you won't compete with me for the Heavenly Sovereign's teacher. As for the remaining Earthly Sovereign and Tai Sovereign, you can choose one of them. For the Five Emperors, you can choose three of them, and the remaining two will belong to my Xuanmen."
After listening, Xuan Chu pondered carefully. Hong Jun's plan seemed fair, with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, a total of eight, four for each side. However, the merits of the Five Emperors could not compare with those of the Three Sovereigns. Xuan Chu's idea was that he should at least take down two of the Three Sovereigns. The Heavenly Sovereign was destined to be Fu Xi, so Xuan Chu had no chance of getting the Heavenly Sovereign's teacher. Therefore, Xuan Chu's initial target was the Earthly Sovereign and the Tai Sovereign.
"If you feel that the Five Emperors' merits are inferior to those of the Three Sovereigns, I can take the liberty of giving you the last position of the Five Emperors. Although the Five Emperors' merits are not as great as those of the Three Sovereigns, the merits of the last Five Emperor are not much less than those of the Earth Sovereign." Hongjun thought that Xuan Chu would disagree, after all, the merits of the Three Sovereigns far surpassed those of the Five Emperors. To be honest, even Hongjun himself would not agree to this. Therefore, Hongjun took the initiative to offer the last position of the Five Emperors to Xuan Chu. After all, as the final work of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the merits of the last Five Emperor are not much less than those of the Earth Sovereign, one of the Three Sovereigns.
However, things didn't go as Hongjun expected. Xuan Chu actually agreed. Xuan Chu said, "Alright, since you've put it that way, then I'll accept without hesitation. The first of the Three Sovereigns, the Heavenly Emperor, is destined to be a member of the Xuanmen. I won't compete with you for the position of the Heavenly Emperor's teacher. As for the remaining two, the Earthly Emperor and the Tai Emperor, I want the Earthly Emperor. Of the Five Emperors, as you said, the last one should belong to me. Of the remaining four, I want the second and third ones. Do you agree?"
"I completely agree!" Hongjun was a little dumbfounded. In this way, the Xuanmen would make a huge profit, so how could they disagree? Among the Three Sovereigns, the last one, the Tai Sovereign, had the greatest merit. Hongjun originally thought that Xuanchu would want the Tai Sovereign, and Hongjun was even prepared to take the Earth Sovereign. He did not expect that Xuanchu would actually give it to him. This was really unexpected for Hongjun.
"Alright, since you agree, it's settled then. This matter is over, you can leave now. Pangu Palace is not a place for you to linger." Now that things were settled, Xuan Chu told Hong Jun to leave quickly.
"I take my leave!" Even if Xuan Chu hadn't said anything, Hong Jun was already planning to leave. The Pangu Palace was isolated from the Heavenly Dao, and every second Hong Jun stayed in the Pangu Palace was a second more dangerous.
After Hongjun left, Xuan Chu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a triumphant smile. Hongjun thought he had gained an advantage, but he never expected to fall into the trap he had dug himself.
Among the Three Sovereigns, the Tai Sovereign had the greatest merit, while the Di Sovereign had the least. Among the Five Emperors, the last one had the greatest merit, while the other four were almost equal. Xuan Chu originally intended to argue with Hong Jun and obtain the remaining Di Sovereign and Tai Sovereign, but Xuan Chu suddenly thought of something. In addition, Hong Jun was willing to give up the last of the Five Emperors in order to obtain another teacher of the Three Sovereigns. So Xuan Chu went with the flow and gave Tai Sovereign to Hong Jun.
The reason why it was the Thai Emperor instead of the Earth Emperor is because only Shennong possessed the destiny of the Earth Emperor, while Xuanyuan was not the only one to possess the destiny of the Thai Emperor.
Hongjun was naturally unaware of these things. In fact, if Xuan Chu hadn't had memories of the future, he wouldn't have known that Xuanyuan wasn't the only one with the destiny of the Tai Emperor. In fact, Xuanyuan's nemesis, Chiyou, also possessed it. The Tai Emperor's mission was to unify the human race. The reason Chiyou couldn't defeat Xuanyuan in his previous life was firstly because of the assistance of the Xuanmen. From the beginning, the Xuanmen had bet on Xuanyuan, while Chiyou only had the remnants of the Wu tribe supporting him. How could he possibly defeat the Xuanmen? Moreover, Chiyou was of the human-Wu lineage, and the other human tribes would definitely prioritize Xuanyuan, who had the pure bloodline. Therefore, Chiyou lost.
Xuan Chu ceded the position of Taihuang's teacher to Xuanmen because he was certain that Xuanmen would still choose Xuanyuan. Xuan Chu could then support Chiyou. As long as Chiyou could defeat Xuanyuan, he could obtain the position of Taihuang. In that case, the person assisting Chiyou would become Taihuang's teacher. In this way, Xuan Chu would not only seize Taihuang's teacher but also gain another teacher among the Five Emperors. This was Xuan Chu's plan.
"Hongjun, you've fallen into this trap. As the teacher of the Tai Emperor, let's rely on our own abilities," Xuan Chu murmured with a smile.
Hongjun was completely unaware of Xuan Chu's plans. After reaching an agreement with Xuan Chu, Hongjun returned to Zixiao Palace. Upon returning, Hongjun summoned the Five Sages of Heaven, Haotian, and Yaochi to Zixiao Palace.
"Greetings, Teacher! May you live a long and healthy life!"
"Get up, all of you," Hongjun said. "I've summoned you here today because there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it? Please enlighten me, Master." Taishang, the eldest disciple, asked.
Hongjun said, "Although the human race has become the protagonist of heaven and earth, if it wants to achieve great prosperity, it still needs the rule of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Only in this way can the human race get on the right track, achieve great prosperity, and become the true protagonist of heaven and earth. Although the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are destined people, if they want to achieve rule, they need the guidance of the Human Emperor's teacher. After the Human Emperor returns to the throne, the Human Emperor's teacher will also receive corresponding merit rewards."
"Teacher, I am the leader of the Human Sect and the senior brother of all the saints. It is my responsibility to arrange the teachers of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors." Upon hearing that there would be merit rewards for serving as the teacher of the Human Sovereign, Taishang spoke first, believing that as the leader of the Human Sect, he should be the one to arrange the teachers of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
"Brother is right!" Taishang wanted to monopolize the Human Emperor's teachers, and Yuanshi was the first to speak up in support. Since the Human Sect only had one disciple, Xuandu, and there were eight Human Emperor's teachers, the Human Sect could only take one at most. As Taishang's biggest supporter, Yuanshi would naturally give the remaining seven to the Chan Sect.
