Chapter 129 The Heavenly Court Can't Afford Them
Thinking of this, Taishang said, "I only have Xuandu as my disciple."
The old Taoist priest then sent the benevolent corpse into the Heavenly Court, which was considered to be his way of undergoing the tribulation.
In addition, the old Taoist priest arranged for fifty more divine positions for the human race.
Humans are also part of the Human Religion, so the old Taoist cannot ignore them.
"How does the Heavenly Emperor intend to exchange these divine positions?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian felt a chill run down his spine.
The Humanist Church could have easily stayed out of it, but this old Taoist priest still insisted on sending a benevolent corpse to the Heavenly Court.
Is this some kind of plan to plant nails in the Heavenly Court?
Haotian then said, "The Supreme Sage has sent the benevolent corpse to the Heavenly Court, which is difficult for me to arrange."
"Maybe we should just forget about it?"
Since the Supreme Lord has already made up his mind, how could he easily give up?
If he doesn't have a good outlook on Haotian, the Supreme Lord will truly be unable to eat or sleep in peace.
Moreover, the current situation is a bit off.
The old man's attitude seemed to indicate that he was quite dissatisfied with the saints.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances from preventing him from intervening in the Primordial World.
It's best to make plans early.
Therefore, this old Taoist priest from Heaven is definitely going!
Immediately, the Supreme Lord replied, "The Heavenly Emperor is overthinking it!"
Since the old Taoist's benevolent corpse has entered the Heavenly Court, it naturally obeys the Heavenly Emperor's arrangements.
Haotian's heart stirred upon hearing this.
"Is that really the case?"
"That's really true!"
Having received the Supreme Lord's reply, Haotian had an idea in mind.
Since you insist on coming, then I will reluctantly accept you as a hired hand!
Get out there and go refine elixirs!
You shouldn't interfere in other matters.
This is also a case of matching one's major with one's job!
Haotian then spoke up, "Since that's the case, let's first discuss what the Sage intends to offer in exchange?"
Upon hearing Haotian's words, Taishang immediately fell into deep thought.
What should we use to exchange it for?
This is indeed a problem.
He was willing to offer a small favor and let the matter drop.
But judging from Haotian's demeanor, it was clear that this wouldn't work.
We need to offer some substantial terms to get Haotian to relent.
After pondering for a moment, the Supreme One spoke up: "I, the old Taoist, will exchange my good corpse for the Qiankun Diagram to enter the Heavenly Court."
In addition, fifty Heavenly Pivot Temple deities and one-tenth Earthly Deity deities.
The Supreme Being mentioned that the positions of the Earth Gods were naturally prepared for the human race.
Since we're already bleeding money, we should at least show some consideration for the human race.
Let's just spend a lot of money, so that no one will bring this up again in the future.
Preventing people from speaking out is more effective than preventing a river from overflowing.
It's better to nip some things in the bud sooner rather than later.
Haotian did not object to these words.
The Qiankun Diagram?
not bad!
With the precedent of Nuwa, it was used to exchange for a position as a local deity, and for him, the Supreme Lord, to join the Heavenly Court.
That could be considered "fair".
But what Taishang values most is probably that his benevolent corpse enters the Heavenly Court.
Whatever!
Once you arrive, you're just a wage earner.
Moreover, he was a worker who offered himself up and was hired for free.
This perfectly suits Haotian's wishes.
Haotian immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"
That's settled then.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord nodded and said, "Excellent!"
With the Supreme Being setting an example, the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master were also moved.
However, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was pondering what kind of magical treasure he should use to exchange for how many slots.
The Tongtian Sect Leader, without hesitation, said, "I will exchange the Purple Lightning Hammer for one hundred and fifty Thunder Academy positions, plus half a percent of the Earthly Deity quotas."
Hearing this, Haotian didn't make things difficult for him.
He simply nodded in agreement.
After handing over the spiritual treasure, he glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was still pondering.
Haotian then spoke up, "Does the Primordial Sage find this difficult?"
I think there's no need to make things difficult for the Sage.
It's not that I look down on the Chan Sect, but the disciples of the Chan Sect truly do not meet the standards of the Heavenly Court.
Given their character, I really dare not employ them.
We can't afford it!
After all, I summoned people to the Heavenly Court to maintain stability in the prehistoric world.
It's not meant to cause trouble in the prehistoric world.
Besides, how noble are the disciples of your Chan Sect?
The Emperor's Army!
How dare I, the Heavenly Emperor, order them around?
To be honest, the Human Emperor was the ruler of humanity.
I am the Lord of the Divine Way.
It is only because I bear the responsibility of ruling the primordial world that I was elevated one rank to the position of Human Emperor.
You, a disciple of the Chan Sect, are all teachers of the Lord of the Dao.
What can I use to command them?
So, don't worry about it anymore.
Disciples of the Chan Sect are not allowed to enter the Heavenly Court.
I cannot afford to use them!
As soon as Haotian finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun got furious.
"Haotian!"
Are you determined to target my Chan Sect?
Upon hearing this, Haotian immediately became displeased.
"What do you mean by 'I am targeting the Chan Sect'?"
Wasn't it your own choice, as a disciple of the Chan Sect?
Of all the options available, they chose to take on apprentices.
You, Yuanshi Tianzun, are a sage, and I am the Heavenly Emperor, acting on behalf of Heaven.
We are equal in rank.
Under the Way of Heaven, there are sages and the Heavenly Emperor.
Below that, the four realms of humans, gods, immortals, and earth are level.
And I, the Lord of the Divine Path, am of the same rank as the Human Emperor, the Lord of the Human Path.
You, a disciple of the Chan Sect, are the teacher of the Human Emperor.
In other words, your position as a disciple of the Chan Sect is now equal to that of the Heavenly Emperor.
So, if we really want to calculate it...
You, Yuanshi Tianzun, should address him as a fellow Daoist!
After all, I, the Heavenly Emperor, am only on par with them.
With this position in place, how can I command them?
Furthermore, I would like to offer a word of advice to all the sages.
When you meet someone in the future, remember to address them as "fellow Daoist"!
Otherwise, you can weigh the cause and effect yourselves.
Upon hearing Haotian's words, the six sages immediately realized the truth.
Then he looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with a strange gaze.
Zhunti then said to Yuanshi Tianzun in a low voice, "Yuanshi Tianzun!"
Should I address you as 'senior'?
According to this calculation, you are already on par with the Way of Heaven.
The disciples of the Chan Sect are the teachers of the Human Emperor; you are the teacher of the disciples of the Chan Sect.
Gee!
"The Primordial 'Senior,' what a cunning scheme you've devised!"
Upon hearing Zhunti's sarcastic remarks, Yuanshi Tianzun knew he was in deep trouble.
Zhunti's words were no less than putting him on the hot seat of a fire.
No matter how you answer, you won't get any benefit.
The answer is that the disciple did it himself?
This is tantamount to throwing out Guang Chengzi and others.
When the time comes, it will be up to Guang Chengzi and the others to face the consequences of their actions with the sage.
But if he were to try to withstand it on his own, he would have to face the Five Saints.
Does he compare himself to the highest authority?
Is Yuanshi Tianzun trying to overturn the Heavenly Gang?
After a moment of silence, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, don't talk nonsense!"
Guang Chengzi merely took in Gongsun Xuanyuan before he returned to his rightful place.
How can one be considered the teacher of the Human Emperor?
Zhunti was naturally dissatisfied with what Yuanshi Tianzun had said.
"Since the master-disciple relationship has been established, how can it be invalidated because of this?"
When Gongsun Xuanyuan returned to his position, he didn't say that he was severing his master-disciple relationship, did he?
Guang Chengzi and the others did not mention severing ties at that time, did they?
Since the master-disciple relationship remains, how can it be considered invalid?
Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun is the "senior".
Are you ready to be weighed by us?
Upon hearing these words, Yuanshi Tianzun's heart sank.
He then said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, please don't lose your composure!"
This is Haotian's provocative remark.
Fellow Daoist, do not fall for the trap!
Upon hearing this, Haotian shook his head and said, "What the Primordial Sage said makes no sense."
So, you, Chan Sect, have the final say on everything?
Those who take on disciples and steal merit are your disciples of the Chan Sect.
"Now that I've merely presented the facts, it's been interpreted as provocation?"
