Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"My disciple Huang Long has an extraordinary background. Since joining my Chan Sect, he has never stopped cultivating and his virtue has never been lacking. He has now reached the peak of the Great Luo realm."

At this point, Yuanshi Tianzun paused, his gaze sweeping over Jieyin and Zhunti.

"More importantly, Huanglong has made great contributions to the primordial world. He repaired the earth's veins, created life in the world, and blessed countless living beings."

"Huanglong is the only suitable candidate for the Heavenly Emperor."

Nuwa was slightly taken aback upon hearing this!

She remembered the little one who had given crucial advice when she was molding humans from clay.

She followed Huanglong's advice and created the human race, which took the form of the innate Dao body.

"Huanglong...!"

Nuwa murmured to herself, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes, "That little fellow was indeed quite remarkable."

Seeing that Nuwa approved, Yuanshi Tianzun felt reassured and continued, "Huanglong not only possesses the cultivation of a peak Daluo, capable of breaking through to Quasi-Saint at any time, but more importantly, he is calm, patient, humble, and possesses great perseverance."

"If he were the Heavenly Emperor, he would surely be able to harmonize Yin and Yang, create the primordial world, and revive the stars in the heavens."

The Supreme Sage beside him nodded slightly.

"Huanglong is indeed remarkable." The voice of the Supreme Saint was calm, but the other saints all knew that this was an acknowledgment of Huanglong's abilities.

"I have seen everything that child has done over the years. He is kind-hearted, never fights or grabs, yet he can step forward at crucial moments. He is truly a rare talent."

A smile appeared on the face of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Little Yellow Dragon certainly has the potential to become a Heavenly Emperor."

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa surprisingly reached a consensus.

The expressions on Jieyin and Zhunti's faces changed instantly.

They exchanged a glance and both saw deep apprehension in each other's eyes.

They certainly knew Huang Long.

He is the most outstanding among the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, in terms of cultivation, merit, and spiritual attainment.

More importantly, he is the only thing the Three Pure Ones have in common.

Taiqing recognized him, Yuanshi was his master, and Tongtian liked him even more.

Even Nuwa recognized him as the Heavenly Emperor.

If Huanglong becomes the Heavenly Emperor, the relationship between the Three Pure Ones will surely be eased because of this disciple, and they may even reunite.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Western religions, and to the Amitabha and Cundi schools.

"teacher!"

Zhunti suddenly stood up, his voice tinged with urgency.

"Huanglong is merely a disciple of a sage, and only possesses the cultivation of the Great Luo Realm. If he were to become the Heavenly Emperor, it would be difficult for him to gain the trust of the people of the prehistoric world, nor would he be able to bring them any benefit."

Zhunti's voice echoed through the palace, trying to forcefully argue that Huanglong was not qualified to be the Heavenly Emperor.

Before Yuanshi Tianzun could speak, Tongtian Jiaozhu couldn't sit still any longer.

"Zhunti, you just recommended Mahasthamaprapta and Bhaisajyaguru. Why didn't you say that those two Taiyi Realm disciples were not convincing to the people of the prehistoric world? Huanglong has the cultivation of the peak of the Daluo Realm, yet you say that his cultivation is insufficient."

Zhunti's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, Mahasthamaprapta and the Medicine Master are indeed not powerful enough to become Heavenly Emperors."

Zhunti raised his head and argued forcefully, "Although Huanglong's cultivation is higher, it is not enough to convince the masses. The position of Heavenly Emperor requires not only prestige and virtue, but also the strength to suppress the primordial world."

"He's not even a quasi-saint, how can he possibly gain the trust of all the races of the prehistoric world?"

"With us here, who dares to act recklessly?" Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Zhunti and sneered.

Zhunti was speechless, choked by the remark.

Seeing this, Jieyin slowly opened his mouth, his voice low, yet every word pierced the heart.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi, Huanglong has another identity that we must consider."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Jieyin, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"oh!"

"Huanglong is a dragon!" Jieyin said slowly, "One of the three innate races, the dragon race."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the palace instantly became delicate.

Jieyin continued, "As you all should know, the Dragon Clan once dominated the primordial world in ancient times, and together with the Phoenix and Qilin Clans, they caused great suffering to all living beings in the primordial world."

"Now the Dragon Clan has left the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas and has once again brought the Four Seas under their control."

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa all turned their gazes to Jieyin, awaiting his next words.

Jieyin's expression was solemn. "If Huanglong becomes the Heavenly Emperor, the Dragon Clan will surely rise again with the help of Huanglong's name and recreate the hegemony of the ancient times."

"The dragon race will become the next demon race, and a demon race without rivals!"

When Zhunti heard that Jieyin had mentioned the demon race, he quickly chimed in.

"Senior brother is right. Huanglong is a dragon. If he were the Heavenly Emperor, he would surely favor the dragon race just like Dijun."

"Emperor Jun transformed the Heavenly Court into a Demon Court, causing widespread suffering and devastation to the prehistoric world."

"If Huanglong becomes the Heavenly Emperor, then the Heavenly Court will become the Dragon Court after the Demon Court...!"

Sanqing's expression instantly darkened.

Jieyin and Zhunti, your words sound grand and noble, seemingly considering the interests of all races in the prehistoric world, but in reality, you have wicked intentions.

Tongtian was about to speak in rebuttal when Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand to stop him.

"Jieyin and Zhunti, what you are saying is utterly absurd."

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was filled with coldness, "Although Huanglong is a member of the Dragon Clan, he is also a successor of the Xuanmen (Mysterious Sect)."

"Under our guidance, he aspires to the Great Dao and cherishes the primordial world; he will never become like Di Jun."

"Brother Yuanshi, you are mistaken," Zhunti quickly said. "Even if Huanglong joins the Chan Sect, it cannot change the fact that his destiny is connected to that of the Dragon Clan."

"If he becomes the Heavenly Emperor, even if he doesn't favor the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan will voluntarily submit to him, and he won't be able to refuse at that time."

"absurd!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable roared, "According to your words, none of the beings with clans behind them can be Heavenly Emperors?"

"good!"

Jieyin continued, "As you all saw, Dijun and Taiyi, along with their fellow disciples, established the demon race and favored it, ultimately leading to the great calamity of the Lich King. Isn't this a cautionary tale?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable turned ashen-faced, yet he couldn't find a rebuttal.

The Sage of Taiqing opened his eyes, glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti, and said calmly, "Junior Brothers Jieyin and Zhunti, what you said seems reasonable, but it is actually untenable."

"Please enlighten us, Senior Brother Taiqing." When Taiqing spoke, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed drastically, and their speech became respectful.

"First!"

The Sage of Taiqing raised a finger and said, "You say that Huanglong's cultivation is not enough, but he is already at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and can step into the Quasi-Saint realm at any time."

Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions froze!

"second,"

The Sage of Taiqing raised another finger, "You say that Huanglong has no prestige, but when he was still in the Celestial Immortal Realm, he began to create the primordial world. In these several eons, he restored life to countless destroyed lands."

"His golden wheel of merit is Heaven's reward for his creation of the primordial world. In the entire primordial world, who can compare to him except for us sages?"

Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions became even more unpleasant.

"Third," the Sage of Taiqing raised his third finger, "you say that Huanglong is a member of the Dragon Clan and will favor the Dragon Clan. But don't forget that Huanglong is a disciple of the Xuanmen Sect. With us supervising him, he will certainly not favor any race."

This statement was well-organized and logically sound, refuting each of the objections raised by Jieyin and Zhunti.

Upon hearing this, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu smiled.
