Chapter 57 Who's in favor, and who's opposed?
You six sages have repeatedly caused trouble for Haotian.
I know you guys are trying to cause trouble for Haotian.
Anyone who didn't know better would think you were looking for trouble with the old Taoist priest.
Do you really think I'm so wise and don't know your little schemes?
All they think about is what's in their own bowl.
Don't you even look at what's been turned into in the pot?
It's understandable that cultivators have selfish motives.
This applies even to sages.
The same applies to Haotian.
Even Hongjun had his own selfish motives.
The problem is, you need to have a broad perspective!
Selfishness outweighs the bigger picture, which is more of a curse than a blessing for the Primordial World.
After Haotian left, the atmosphere in the main hall became quite subtle.
Some cultivators were worried that they might be chosen by a saint.
These types of cultivators not only have a very clear understanding of themselves, but also have a desire not to cause trouble.
Some cultivators, however, are hoping to be chosen.
These kinds of cultivators are all ambitious individuals.
Their plan was simply to grab a share of the Heavenly Court's fortune and leave.
As for the stability of the primordial world?
That's for the next administration.
Or, by taking this opportunity to attain enlightenment and achieve primordial unity, all problems will be easily solved.
As for the risks and difficulties?
None of that matters!
They wouldn't be given a chance to do anything without risk or difficulty.
After a moment of silence, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke: "Now that Haotian has abdicated, who do you all think is capable of succeeding to the position of Heavenly Emperor?"
Upon hearing these words from Yuanshi Tianzun, all the cultivators present exchanged glances.
That's a difficult question to answer.
I don't have that thought because I don't want to offend anyone by speaking up.
After all, if you recommend someone, what if they don't want that position either?
This is a case of good intentions gone wrong!
Those who have that intention worry that if they recommend someone else, it might actually work out.
Wouldn't he be the one who suffers the biggest loss?
There are countless examples of people who tried to outsmart each other but ended up making things worse.
In the long lives of all cultivators, there are times when they will not encounter such situations.
For two reasons, the group of Quasi-Saints and Primordial Golden Immortals remained silent.
And now, no one is speaking to the sage.
Haotian was driven away by you, Yuanshi.
Then it's your responsibility to find a solution to the problem.
Since Haotian has already been forced to leave, things will be much simpler afterward.
Without Haotian, other cultivators wouldn't dare to challenge these saints.
That means it doesn't matter who comes to power.
The premise is that one's own interests cannot be harmed.
Take Zhen Yuanzi for example!
In the hearts of Jieyin and Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi was absolutely unacceptable to rise to power.
That guy's divide with the West was almost insurmountable.
Even the sage's prestige could only suppress him, preventing him from making any rash moves.
But if that guy were to actually ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor...
It is almost conceivable what kind of targeting the West will face.
It was because of this idea that the other sages didn't bother to speak.
You, Yuanshi, just need to figure out a solution.
We will simply find fault and reject it.
Seeing that the saints remained silent, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to sense something in his heart.
I think I really did something stupid this time.
The next step, choosing a Heavenly Emperor, truly became the biggest problem.
The chosen candidate must meet the wishes of all the monks.
of course.
All these cultivators are limited to the other saints and the old man from Zixiao Palace.
Even if the scope is so small that it involves only a few people, it is not so easy to solve.
Don't be fooled by the old man's seemingly indifferent attitude.
This can be seen from the fact that he launched Haotian and supported Haotian twice.
His only thought was to bring peace to the primordial world.
As a result, there are only a handful of cultivators who can meet the old man's requirements.
And there's an even more crucial issue: when Haotian left.
However, they also took away Yaochi, the current head of the female immortals.
Therefore, not only now, but the position of Heavenly Emperor needs to be re-elected by cultivators.
The head of the female immortals must be re-elected.
The position of head of the female immortals is better suited to be chosen by the male immortals.
Then we could try to bring out the Queen Mother of the West.
However, considering the attitude of the Queen Mother of the West, the pool of candidates for the Heavenly Emperor had to be narrowed down again.
After a moment of contemplation, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke up: "What do you all think of Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi?"
I believe that Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi is the most suitable candidate to be the Heavenly Emperor.
As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun said this, Zhunti immediately retorted: "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi!"
Logically speaking, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi is indeed very suitable.
The problem is, Zhen Yuanzi can't even stand with the other cultivators this time; how can he possibly win their hearts and minds?
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was immediately angered.
Countless Dao Ancestors!
I finally came up with a suitable candidate, and you're the one who always comes to sabotage me.
Everyone knows what you're thinking.
Row!
Since you, Zhunti and Jieyin, are saints, I will give you face.
Let me ask you a symbolic question.
Immediately, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke up: "I recommend Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi to be the Heavenly Emperor."
Who's in favor, and who's opposed?
Upon hearing the words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the group of Quasi-Saints and Primordial Golden Immortals naturally cursed inwardly.
Your question is essentially meaningless.
Since you, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, have said so, who would dare to object?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Since you, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, have said so, who would dare to object?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Don't let your failure to secure a position backfire and incur the hostility of your Primordial Heavenly Lord.
Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's question, Zhunti was immediately dumbfounded.
Are you not even going to act anymore?
If you ask it that way, who would dare to object?
But if Zhen Yuanzi were to actually take over, that would be a terrible situation.
Zhunti was naturally unwilling to accept this.
He then spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi!"
Your question is a bit...
When Zhunti spoke again, Yuanshi Tianzun was naturally very displeased.
He then spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti!"
Just mind your own business!
When did it become your business in the West to concern your Eastern Heavenly Court?
Or, why don't you make a recommendation?
Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Zhunti immediately fell silent.
of course.
The reason Zhunti kept quiet was not because of any Eastern Heavenly Court.
It was Yuanshi Tianzun who wanted him to recommend the Heavenly Emperor.
But is that location so easy to recommend?
The old man's attitude was very clear when he recommended the Heavenly Emperor in Zixiao Palace.
It is inappropriate to be a disciple of any of the four schools of thought.
He can't recommend his own disciple, so who else can Zhunti recommend?
If the argument continues, the problem of Yuanshi Tianzun will fall on Zhunti.
When the time comes, he will come up with a solution, while the other sages will simply deny it.
This is something you can't do.
Seeing that Zhunti had stopped talking, Yuanshi Tianzun continued, "Since no one objects, I will go and invite Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi."
The words were spoken.
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at the assembled cultivators.
Then, with a flicker, he headed towards Wuzhuang Temple.
In a short while.
Yuanshi Tianzun arrived outside Wuzhuang Temple.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi!"
"This humble one, the Primordial One, has come to visit!"
As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi appeared at the mountain gate.
Upon meeting Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhen Yuanzi bowed and said, "Greetings, Sage Yuanshi!"
The presence of a sage in my humble abode brings great honor to Wuzhuang Temple!
please!"
As they were talking, Zhen Yuanzi stepped aside and invited him to join in.
Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, please go first!"
It is not difficult to see from the attitude of the Primordial Celestial Venerable that as long as it does not involve disputes over major religions, destiny, or noodles.
Saints are still very easy to talk to.
