Chapter 266 The Emperor and Queen Mother Make a Decision

However, several saints did not care about this, but keenly grasped the key point of Hongjun Daozu's words. Re-elect a new Lord of Heaven? Isn't that the Lord of the Great Desolation? Such an opportunity must be seized!

Tong Tian Sect Master already regretted not getting the Chaos Bell and being ridiculed by Patriarch Yang Mei. After hearing what Daozu said, he immediately said, "My Jie Sect has thousands of immortals coming to pay homage to me. I have many disciples. My eldest disciple Duobao is the innate spiritual treasure Duobao Tower, who has inherited the spiritual energy of thousands of treasures. He has been in charge of Jie Sect while I was in seclusion. He has a lot of experience and can take on the position of Heavenly Emperor."

As soon as Tongtian Patriarch finished speaking, Zhunti Buddha immediately refuted: "Brother, what you said is wrong. Jiejiao is a great sect with great power and prestige. Ordinary people cannot defend it at all. Duobao has been trained by you for many years, so he is naturally the next leader of Jiejiao. In this case, it is not convenient for him to take the position of Emperor of Heaven."

The Taoist Jie Yin finally said the first sentence: "In my Western Buddhism, there are two wise and capable people, Maitreya and Medicine Master. They are kind by nature, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. They sweep the floor so as not to hurt ants and cherish the moths that fly into the lamp. They can comfort the severely damaged world very well."

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said, "Brother Jieyin, you are joking. Although the Heavenly Palace is the Primordial Heavenly Palace, it is located in the East. How can your Western Buddhism rule the Heavenly Palace?"

Zhunti Buddha sneered and said, "My Western Buddhism cannot enter the Heavenly Palace. Could it be that your Chan Sect is the most qualified?"

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said, "My disciples value rules the most. How can they not become the Heavenly Emperor? All the twelve golden immortals of the Chan Sect can be candidates for the Heavenly Emperor."

The Taoist Jie Yin sighed, "Besides the law, there are also human feelings. Apart from the rules, the Emperor of Heaven also has the responsibility to mediate the various worldly emotions in the prehistoric world. The teachings of the Tao are pure and peaceful, and disciples value the Tao. They really cannot step into a chaotic place like the Heavenly Palace."

Taishang Laojun originally wanted to recommend one or two people, but the fact that these four saints were recommending their disciples made Taishang Laojun give up the idea.

The number of disciples in the Human Sect is small, even smaller than that of the Xuan Sect. Apart from the great master Xuandu and the two boys Jinjiao and Yinjiao, he is the only leader left.

If Master Xuandu became the Emperor of Heaven, then the inheritance of the Human Sect would be cut short, so he naturally kept silent.

You can't let Jinjiao and Yinjiao become the emperor of heaven, right? That would be too humiliating to the other saints. Wouldn't it be like saying that their most proud disciples are not as good as his boy?
While these saints were arguing, Cundi Buddha was gradually losing the upper hand. After all, Jie Yin Taoist was not good at arguing, and after saying a word or two he didn't know what to say, otherwise he might have done more harm than good to Cundi Buddha.

No matter how eloquent he is, he can't beat Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Then he turned his eyes and immediately looked at the two saints and one ancestor who had not yet spoken, and said: "Two senior brothers and sisters, and the ancestor, why don't you recommend one or two people. The previous emperor was the emperor of the demon race. In terms of qualifications, I think Prince Lu Ya and the twelve Taiyin princesses are the most qualified to inherit the throne of the emperor."

The Buddha Cundi said these words because he was determined to muddy the waters.

The position of the Emperor of Heaven must be occupied by a virtuous person. The son inheriting the father's position is only a situation that can occur among those small races. He just wants to pull Nuwa into the game.

But Nuwa alone was not enough, and Zhunti Buddha said: "Except for Prince Lu Ya and the twelve Taiyin princesses, if we talk about the importance of the fruit position, the two masters of the stars, Taiyin Youying and Taiyang Zhuzhao, are also qualified to bear the position of the Emperor of Heaven."

He also did not forget about Patriarch Yang Mei, and said again: "I have heard that the Patriarch has a disciple who practices the secret method of One Heart Three Symbols, which can transform one into three. The Patriarch can also let one of the disciples carry the throne of the Emperor of Heaven. With good fortune, he will naturally be able to do everything well. This can be regarded as a part of the teacher's heart."

No wonder it is said that the eloquence of the Buddha Zhunti is the best in the prehistoric world. After these words, he immediately drew the three saints into the game.

Except for Taishang Laojun, who is really a saint who cannot be competed for, other saints have also been aroused.

Just have to get rid of a few people with constant lives.

Heng Ming smiled and said, "Brothers, please stop arguing. I think there are two people who are most suitable to bear the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. Master, I recommend Haotian and Yaochi to bear the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. The two of them have followed Master for many years and have served him all year round. They are loyal and devoted. Even if they have not made any contributions, they have worked hard. Even if they have not worked hard, they have also been tired. I think only these two people can make all the saints convinced if they become the Heavenly Emperor and Empress."

Haotian and Yaochi, who were serving behind Hongjun Daozu, were both stunned. Originally, they could only watch with a little envy as the saints fought for the benefits for their disciples, but they did not expect that in the end these benefits would actually fall on them. They were overjoyed.

There was some gratitude in their eyes when they looked at Hengming, and Hengming naturally smiled and nodded.

It’s just that they are the boys of Hongjun Daozu. If Hongjun Daozu doesn’t nod, then no one else’s words will be of any use.

"I hope the master will not reject Brother Hengming's proposal!"

Haotian Yaochi prayed silently in his heart. They had been waiting for this opportunity for too long.

They have been following Hongjun Daozu for some years. Originally, they were just some stubborn stones on Yujing Mountain. They were accidentally influenced by the Dao essence of Hongjun Daozu, transformed, and accepted by Daozu as a boy serving tea and water. Generally speaking, boys are lowly, even lower than mounts, but it depends on who they serve. If they just serve some mountain monsters, then they will naturally have no hope in their lives, but if they serve some great gods, then they will be more respected than disciples.

Although Haotian and Yaochi are just boys, the boys of a saint are no longer ordinary boys, let alone the boys of the saint's teacher, Hongjun Daozu. Even the guests in Zixiao Palace dare not underestimate them.

But behind the glory lies loneliness. Because of this title, they are confined in Zixiao Palace and are not allowed to go out all day.

Although they could listen to the sound of Tao from time to time, they had already felt extremely bored in their hearts, so they specially asked Hongjun Daozu to let them go out for a trip.

It’s a pity that the travel time is too short. Even if Daozu Hongjun nods, one cannot enter and exit Zixiao Palace at any time.

Even if they let one or two clones go out all year round, when the gate of Zixiao Palace is closed, the perception between the two will be cut off, and there is absolutely no chance of cheating.

When the other saints heard that Hengming actually recommended Haotian and Yaochi, they felt a little unwilling, but compared to letting other saints benefit, they reluctantly agreed to the proposal.

After all, they are just boys. Even if they put some people among them, I think they will not dare to object.

Thinking of this, Cundi Buddha, Jie Yin Taoist, and Tong Tian Jiaozhu felt a little better.

The title of Heavenly Emperor is just a nice one. As long as the actual benefits do not slip away from their hands, they don't mind giving these two boys some face.

Only Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, obviously not wanting to give up even the title, but because of the presence of Hongjun Daozu, he could only gently advise: "The position of the Emperor of Heaven is so noble, Junior Brother Hengming's suggestion is really biased, you should choose carefully."

Hearing that someone wanted to stop them from leaving, Haotian and Yaochi felt a little angry.

Yuanshi Tianzun naturally knew that Haotian and Yaochi would be embarrassed if he said this, but he was a saint and would not care what the two boys were thinking.

But the Two Saints of the West and the Patriarch Tongtian had remained silent, and it was obvious that they were acquiescing. Together with Taishang Laojun, a total of four saints abstained from voting, and the remaining two saints agreed. It would be of no use if he was the only one to oppose, and he had to shut up wisely, otherwise he would only lose more face.

Seeing that they had decided on the candidate, Daozu Hongjun was also happy to fulfill his boy's wish. After all, he had followed him for so many years, and now he could be considered to have fulfilled his mission.

"Haotian, Yaochi, the two of you come in front of me."

Haotian and Yaochi knelt down in front of Hongjun Daozu nervously. Hongjun Daozu said, "You two have followed me for many years. Now it is time to say goodbye. Haotian, from now on you will be the Emperor of Heaven, ruling the three talents, holding the heavenly way, and controlling the axis of heaven, earth and man. You will rule over the heavens, lead all saints, dominate the universe, enlighten all heavens, practice the way of heaven, spread the virtue of heaven, create all things, save all living things, weigh all realms, and rule all spirits. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"

Haotian prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly: "Disciple will keep this in mind and will never forget it. I will definitely perform my duties faithfully and protect the peace of the prehistoric world."

Daozu Hongjun said again: "Yao Chi, from now on you will be the Queen Mother of Yao Chi. You have a stubborn personality, so you will assist Haotian in managing the Heavenly Court, maintaining order, upholding justice, punishing evildoers and eliminating evil, and you will be loved by all the female fairies in the world."

Then Daozu Hongjun took out a few spiritual treasures and handed them to Haotian Yaochi and the others, saying to Haotian: "This is the Haotian Tower and the Haotian Mirror. The Haotian Tower can communicate with the vital energy and nurture all living things. Now the thirty-six sky gaps are just right for you to fill them. The Haotian Mirror can look up to the nine heavens and down to the nine underworlds, and monitor all things. It can be used for you to perform your duties."

Haotian took the two spiritual treasures, feeling grateful, and choked up as he said, "Haotian thanks you, Master."

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun nodded slightly, and then said to Yao Chi: "This is the Western Plain Cloud Realm Flag, also known as the Gathering Immortals Flag, which can be used to gather all the immortals, and there is also this peach tree."

Speaking of the peach tree, Daozu Hongjun's tone also had a hint of nostalgia: "This peach tree is also a top-grade innate spiritual root. It's a pity that it encountered a catastrophe during the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity and its roots were damaged. Even though I have nurtured it for many years, it has not recovered. You can divide it into nine plants. Although the origin will be reduced, the number will be much larger, which is just right for you to create the Heavenly Court."

Yao Chi prostrated herself on the ground and shouted, "Yao Chi thanks the master for his mercy."

Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly asked: "Master, if Junior Sister Yaochi is admired by all the female fairies, how will Queen Mother Xi deal with it?"

Daozu Hongjun shook his head and said, "From now on, Queen Mother of the West will just be called Golden Mother. She really failed to live up to my trust."
