Chapter 173 Zhunti's foul mouth leads to heavy losses
"I certainly don't lack fortune and merit, but my family does!" Haotian raised his head to look at Jieyin and Zhunti. "What do you two senior brothers think?"
"This is different!" Zhunti exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Sister Yaochi has not yet attained enlightenment..."
"It is precisely because I have not yet attained enlightenment that I need the help of merit." Yaochi smiled radiantly. "What, does Senior Brother Zhunti think that my status as a disciple of the Dao Ancestor is unworthy of the position of Supreme Master? Or do you think that only a saint can hold this position?"
Yaochi gave a sarcastic smile: "Don't assume others are like you. Speaking of which, my senior brother repaired the Western ley lines, and you haven't even thanked him yet!"
Jieyin and Zhunti were speechless for a moment. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Houtu all looked over. Their faces turned red, and they had no choice but to stand up and bow slightly to Haotian, saying stammeringly, "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for repairing the earth's veins and bringing blessings to the creatures of the West."
Haotian raised his eyelids and nodded slightly: "I am indeed worthy of this greeting."
He knew why the two were behaving this way: they wanted to accumulate more merit.
They are the only two saints in the West. Even if Haotian is the Heavenly Emperor, the West will ultimately need them to have a chance to recover.
Unexpectedly, the appearance of the underground passages restored 30% of the earth's veins, greatly reducing their role in the Heavenly Dao. If Haotian truly completes the restoration of the West one day, they will become useless.
If the Primordial Purple Qi is withdrawn, they will be dethroned from their sainthood in an instant. They have a good idea of how many people they have offended in the prehistoric world over the years.
Having seen through their thoughts, Haotian couldn't help but chuckle. Sure enough, he still needed to put some pressure on them!
"Of the Five Emperors, I wish to have two," Haotian said softly. "The first of the Five Emperors is of the Metal element, so I will trouble you, Junior Sister."
The golden law manifested on Yaochi's body, and a chilling aura permeated the entire fairyland, causing the saints to become solemn. She was really close to attaining enlightenment; the Heavenly Court's fortune was truly abundant!
"The other one will be used to accumulate merit for my disciples." Haotian pondered for a moment, "The remaining three..."
He glanced at the tense faces of Jieyin and Zhunti, and chuckled, "Brother Tongtian has no supreme treasure to suppress the fortune of a great sect, how about giving one of the Five Emperors' Imperial Tutors to the Jie Sect?"
"Yes!" Laozi Yuanshi replied directly. Tongtian's eyes were slightly red. His elder brothers were still protecting him.
Jieyin's aura deepened, and the veins on Zhunti's forehead throbbed. He coldly snorted, "The rest should be given to our Western Sect!"
It's impossible for two sages to hold only one position as imperial tutor.
After all, when a sage accepts a disciple, their fortunes will merge, making it easier for them to spread their teachings among the human race in the future. However, the human race will also benefit from the sage's blessing and secure their position as the protagonists of the world.
Seeing that no one else spoke, Haotian nodded listlessly. After all, they were all Heavenly Saints.
Moreover, the West cannot be let off the hook either; two teachers of the Five Emperors are nothing!
A glint of light flashed in Haotian's eyes—the way of balance!
He certainly didn't like these two, but the Holy Sect ultimately had its merits.
Jieyin and Zhunti looked unwilling. The Five Emperors had less fortune than the Three Sovereigns, but now they only received two of them.
"Junior Brother truly cares about Senior Brother Tongtian's Jie Sect's fortune!" Zhunti, still somewhat unwilling, flashed resentment in his eyes. "Instead of giving away the position of Imperial Tutor, why not give the Chaos Bell to the Jie Sect to suppress its fortune?"
"Snap—"
Yuanshi slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shattering the lacquered jade table. Zhunti's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. "Zhunti, are you trying to sow discord between us Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court?"
Tongtian drew his Qingping Sword and sneered sinisterly, "You're such a petty person. Junior Brother Haotian was right after all. You fear power but don't appreciate kindness. I just gave you a few nice gestures, and you've already taken advantage of me."
Laozi remained calm, only a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Everyone in the prehistoric world knew about Haotian's Chaos Bell, but they had never mentioned it.
After all, there are only a few innate treasures in the primordial world, and they are spoils of war from Haotian. Master also favors the Heavenly Court. If not handled properly, it could turn into an abuse of power and even damage the harmony between fellow disciples.
They had kept quiet about this matter until Zhunti brought it up, at which point the Three Pure Ones had to make a statement.
Nuwa looked gloomy, and a cold glint flashed in Houtu's beautiful eyes. Back in the underworld, Zhunti had also used the same method to sow discord between their Wu tribe and Haotian.
"Senior brother, calm down! I didn't mean that!" Seeing Jieyin enveloped by the Taiji diagram and the Tongtian Qingping Sword already at his neck, Zhunti quickly begged for mercy.
Haotian coughed lightly, stopping the farce.
"Brother Zhunti means that he did not intend to sow discord between me and Brother Sanqing. He was just distressed that the Jie Sect did not have a supreme treasure to suppress its fortune. Brother Tongtian, you have misunderstood."
Zhunti's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know what Haotian was up to, that he was speaking up for him, it was obviously in his favor. He nodded hurriedly and admitted, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Tongtian's expression turned cold. Why was Junior Brother Haotian speaking up for this person?
"My three senior brothers, please calm down." Haotian sipped his tea. "Since Senior Brother Zhunti is so distressed, he can't just talk the talk. Since there's no suspicion of instigation, let's offer another of the Five Emperors' teachers as compensation to the Jie Sect!"
"Buzz—"
Zhunti felt as if he had been struck on the head with a blunt object, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder booming in his ears. It took him a moment to understand what Haotian meant.
"You..." Zhunti pointed at Haotian with trembling hands.
Haotian's smile vanished instantly, and he said coldly, "What, Senior Brother, you're unwilling? Were you trying to sow discord between the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Dao Saints just now?"
The Three Pure Ones' spiritual treasures gleamed with divine light, their gazes fixed intently on Zhunti, as if to say that if he dared to admit it, they would take immediate action.
Jieyin pressed his throbbing forehead, feeling a splitting headache. "Junior brother, how could someone cause such a disaster!"
To lose the position of Imperial Tutor with just one sentence—how much merit must have been accumulated!
He said in a hoarse voice, "Very well, our Western Sect only has one Imperial Tutor. Please forgive us, my three senior brothers and the Heavenly Emperor, that we two have absolutely no intention of sowing discord."
Haotian nodded calmly to Jieyin, "Guess whether I believe it or not."
The Three Pure Ones retrieved their magical treasures, and Tongtian raised an eyebrow at Haotian, then held up a jade cup: "Thank you, Junior Brother."
Haotian returned the toast, saying, "You're too kind, senior brother."
The four exchanged a glance, their unspoken understanding conveying that their relationship was not one that outsiders could sow discord between them.
Nuwa sneered, "Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!"
"Snap—"
A small slapping sound rang out, and everyone turned around to see Zhunti slap himself across the face, right on the lips.
The group was puzzled. What was this guy doing now?
Zhunti calmly replied, "This humble Taoist cannot control his tongue; from now on, I must be more careful with my words and actions. Junior brother, I am the Water Virtue Emperor of the Western Sect!"
Haotian pondered for a moment, and Nuwa spoke directly: "Could it be that the Heavenly Court chose the Water Virtue because of its prominent Water attribute?"
Zhunti replied meekly, "Our Western Paradise lacks merit."
"Alright." Haotian smiled gently at Zhunti, but his eyes were dark. If you really get the Water Virtue Emperor to do that, I'll really have to praise you. "Then please assist me well, Senior Brother."
"That's natural." Zhunti smiled in response, and Haotian also smiled, glancing at Nuwa without leaving a trace.
The Three Pure Ones concealed their expressions, and an undercurrent surged within the Jade Pool Wonderland in an instant.
Houtu glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti, then chuckled, "The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors must be human, but my Ancestral Witches and the human race also have a lineage of witches. What do you fellow Daoists think?"
