Chapter 79 Leaving
There are many different theories about the origin of the Kongtong Seal. Some say it is one of the ten great artifacts of ancient times, while others say it is a treasure created by the human race.

But all these statements, without exception, are closely related to the human race. Look at this Kongtong Seal, it is divided into five sides, with three precious jades inlaid in the center, which correspond to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race. According to later statements, the Five Emperors guard the five sides, and the Three Sovereigns sit in the center. There should be phantoms emerging on the five sides and three jades.

There are rumors that anyone who claims to be the emperor of mankind without the Kongtong Seal will suffer misfortune, and even the entire tribe will be destroyed by unknown disasters.

Because there is no Kongtong Seal, no matter who claims to be the Emperor of Man, it is unorthodox and will not be recognized by the human race, and will naturally be backfired by luck.

No matter how great his contribution was, he was only a leader, not an emperor.

Looking at this mysterious seal, Hengming had a guess in his mind: "After Nuwa created humans, Laozi founded the Human Religion without Nuwa's consent, splitting the destiny of the human race. In the end, he owed Nuwa a great cause and effect. But who would have thought that Laozi would find the Kongtong Seal before Nuwa did, and exchanged it for the position of the first Human Emperor among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. This solved the cause and effect. It can be seen that the Kongtong Seal is very important to the human race."

Even Nuwa, the Holy Mother of the human race, found it difficult to establish the Emperor of Man without the Kongtong Seal. She was even coerced by Laozi and forced to pay the price of cause and effect in exchange for the position of Emperor of Man. This shows that the Kongtong Seal's control over the human race is even greater than Nuwa's Whip of Creation.

However, even though the treasure was right in front of him, Hengming could only watch it being exchanged and couldn't even say anything to fight for it.

Because he knew that this was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, a rare and precious treasure that was invaluable to anyone and was something that could not be found easily.

If he wanted to fight for the Kongtong Seal, not to mention that it would arouse suspicion from the Three Pure Ones and Bixia Yuanjun, he simply did not have any spiritual treasures on him that could be used for exchange.

He only had three top-grade innate spiritual treasures on him, and the properties of each of them were perfectly compatible with him. He would not be stupid enough to exchange them for the Kongtong Seal, which he didn't know whether it would be effective in the future.

No one would do such a stupid thing as exchanging one treasure for another, unless the treasure is useless to oneself and the other person's thing is useful to oneself, such as exchanging a mountain-driving whip for a feng shui compass.

Moreover, even if he could harden his heart and be willing to exchange those spiritual treasures, Sanqing would still be very suspicious: "Why would Hengming be willing to exchange the Kongtong Seal with them at the cost of the fate spiritual treasure? There must be something fishy going on!"

In the end, not only will the good relationship that has been built with great difficulty be shattered, but the two sides may even become enemies due to the temptation of the Three Purities.

In the end, Hengming could only stand still and hope for some chance to try again in the future.

Laozi didn't know that Hengming had such feelings in his heart, but when he looked at the seal, a desire emerged from the bottom of his heart. This was not his own thought, but the mysterious divine inspiration guiding him to obtain this magical treasure.

"What's going on? I don't feel any affinity with this magic treasure, but I feel a desire for it. Could it be that this magic treasure will be of great use to me in the future?"

Laozi couldn't help but frown slightly. Compared with Tongtian who liked to plan and fight, Laozi could be described as the representative of indifference and inaction. Apart from preaching to those creatures, he would just stay in Kunlun Mountain and make elixirs by burning fire.

But this does not mean that he is very weak. On the contrary, if anyone looks down on me because of these superficial things, then I will definitely give him a big surprise.

Tongtian usually doesn't submit to Yuanshi Tianzun, and the two of them argue endlessly when they fight, making it rare for them to have peace. As for the reason why they can live in peace, it is naturally because of Laozi's intervention.

Even without the Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, Laozi could suppress the fight between the two. Otherwise, no matter how much Yuanshi Tianzun valued rules and etiquette, he would not be so respectful to Laozi.

It's just that he is usually indifferent and inactive, and he really doesn't like to show off, so people don't know how powerful he is.

Looking at the seal, my heart moved, and finally I nodded and said, "Okay, since the ancient witches are so serious, I can't refuse you." Di Jiang smiled and changed back into a human body. The other ancient witches did the same. After all, their true bodies were really weird. If they walked in like this, Yuanshi Tianzun would probably not be able to help but get angry.

Di Jiang casually threw the Kongtong Seal in his hand to Laozi without any reluctance in his heart.

When they first obtained the Kongtong Seal, they were quite surprised. After all, they had obtained many spiritual treasures, but this was the only top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

However, after seeing the true nature of the Kongtong Seal, all the Ancestral Witches lost interest. A force sealed the true nature of the Kongtong Seal, making it impossible to refine it. Its only function was to pour out the Fountain of Youth, which could keep people young and beautiful forever.

But once one becomes an immortal, one's lifespan is almost infinite. Moreover, the witch clan has superb talents, so becoming a golden immortal is nothing special. Even if one dies, one will just return to the arms of Pangu the Father, so there is naturally no need for this false immortality.

Originally they had all forgotten the existence of the Kongtong Seal until today when they remembered it. After all, it was an extremely high-grade innate spiritual treasure and it was a good thing to be able to recycle it.

Yuanshi Tianzun stared at these ancient witches and snorted coldly, but Laozi had already nodded, so he had nothing to say. However, he didn't want to give these ancient witches a good face, so he walked towards the top of Kunlun Mountain with a cold face.

But Tongtian was very interested, and finally couldn't help but say: "Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, how about you and I find a time to fight later? It's also good to test the power of the Daluo realm."

Di Jiang didn't care. After all, the Wu clan was a natural fighting race, and the Ancestral Wu was the best among them. Being able to fight was naturally a good thing.

Zhu Jiuyin shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, after this discussion, we brothers and sisters will return to Mount Buzhou. The Wu Clan cannot do without us, and the Twelve Ancestral Wu Tribe cannot be left unguarded for a long time."

Tongtian was very disappointed after hearing this. He finally met two opponents with whom he could test his sword skills, but in the end he couldn't fight. His face immediately returned to its uninterested look.

Heng Ming suddenly said at this moment: "Since fellow Taoist Sanqing wants to discuss important matters with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, fellow Taoist Bixia Yuanjun and I should not disturb you. We will say goodbye now. Fellow Taoist Bixia Yuanjun and I still want to travel around the prehistoric world."

Yuanshi Tianzun quickly tried to save the situation, saying, "Daoist friend Hengming, you two don't have to be so anxious. We can discuss this later. Some tea leaves that I refined a few years ago are about to be ready. Why not try some?"

Tongtian also said: "Yes, I still have a lot of wine and drinks that I haven't invited Taoist Hengming to taste. You can leave after tasting it."

But Hengming and Bixia Yuanjun looked at each other and finally shook their heads and said, "We two have disturbed Sanqing Daoyou too much. It is really inconvenient for us to stay for long today. Please forgive us, Sanqing Daoyou."

Bixia Yuanjun, who had not spoken for a long time, also said at this moment: "Indeed, all good things must come to an end. It is time for the two of us to leave."

Yuanshi Tianzun tried to save the situation, but Laozi said, "Fellow Daoist Bixia Yuanjun, what you said is right. All good things must come to an end. If you two Daoists come to Kunlun Mountain again in the future, the three of us brothers will certainly welcome you with water."

Yuanshi Tianzun could only sigh in the end and watch the backs of Hengming and the other man as they left.

"Those who should stay don't stay, while those who shouldn't come come. It's really annoying."

He did not lower his voice when he spoke, and his words were all directed at the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Some of the hot-tempered Ancestral Witches, such as Zhurong and Gonggong, could no longer suppress their anger and their veins bulged, but Zhu Jiuyin remained calm, as if Yuanshi Tianzun was not talking about him.
