After Xuan Tian said that Yuan Shi had nothing to say, Xuan Tian said, "If you want to spread your teachings, then spread them. I didn't stop you. Besides, I am the Holy Father of the Human Race. What's wrong with me interfering in the affairs of the Human Race?"
Laozi spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Xuantian is right. However, there is a saying that one should not meddle in matters outside one's jurisdiction. Fellow Daoist has not established a sect. Although you have a few disciples, the human race is vast, and you may not be able to take care of them all, nor can you promote my Xuanmen sect. Why not send your disciples back to cultivate and entrust the task of teaching to your other junior brothers?"
Xuan Tian glanced at Laozi and said, "The human race has its own way of handling matters, and I have no objection. However, my disciple has received offerings from the human race for a long time, and his karma is deep. How can I stand idly by?"
Laozi said, "What you say is indeed true. Your disciples have made great contributions by guiding the Three Sovereigns. However, we sages have established teachings but lack practical guidance. As Junior Brother Yuanshi said, we are ashamed of our teacher's teachings. I have established a teaching for humanity, but it is insufficient in its guidance, which is even more ashamed of our teacher. If you are willing, could you please grant me some of your request?"
Xuan Tian said, "I also admire your meritorious act of establishing a sect, but it is a good thing that you wish to educate the human race. Why should I help you? Besides, didn't your junior brother Yuan Shi also guide this Human Emperor? He is more than capable of undertaking such a great task."
Laozi squinted at Xuantian for a long while before saying, "Fellow Daoist's guidance of the Three Sovereigns is indeed remarkable. However, I fear that it might hinder your cultivation. Therefore, I think it would be better if we took on the role of teachers of the Five Emperors on your behalf?"
Yuanshi added, "That's excellent. Although Senior Brother Xuantian's disciples are deeply rooted and of high moral character, they are still human brothers. I'm afraid that if they were to continue holding the position of Imperial Tutor, it would hinder their cultivation, which would not be good."
The two Westerners remained silent, knowing that even if Xuantian relinquished the position of Imperial Tutor, it wouldn't be their turn to lead.
Tongtian also looked at Xuantian. The merits of the Imperial Tutor could affect the development of the Daoist lineage. If the Jie Sect could obtain a share, it would also enable the Jie Sect to develop.
Nuwa remained silent. She had neither established a religion nor had any disciples, so no matter how they tried to frame her, it wouldn't affect her. She treated it all as a show.
Xuan Tian knew that even if his disciples monopolized all the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it wouldn't work. He hadn't stopped Xuanyuan from being taken in by the Chan Sect, precisely because he didn't want to offend all the founding saints. He originally had no real ambitions; seizing the Kongtong Seal was merely to dilute Laozi's fortune. Now that Laozi was offended, the orthodox Human Sect only controlled 35% of humanity's fortune, Xuan Tian controlled 20%, Nuwa controlled 0.5%, and the rest depended on which sect became the orthodox Human Sect. The Human Emperor's guidance was only to allow his disciples to receive the merit of enlightenment. Now that Huixin and Liaozhen had gained merit and become Quasi-Saints, they were naturally satisfied and had no intention of stopping them from spreading their teachings. Now that they were holding some kind of Daoist conference to demand more, he had to extort some money from them.
Laozi was also very frustrated. He established the Human Sect, which seemed to occupy the orthodox position of the human race. No matter who educated the human race, the Human Sect would never fall behind. If he had obtained the Kongtong Seal and established the Human Emperor, he would have obtained 50% of the human race's fortune, which would have been enough for him to occupy the position of one of the saints. However, Xuantian snatched it away. Laozi hated Xuantian so much that he gritted his teeth, but he was powerless to do anything about it. Xuantian had not only accumulated great merit, but also possessed profound strength and controlled so much fortune. Although Laozi hated Xuantian in this matter, he could not take revenge. He could only wait for the opportunity to humiliate Xuantian in the future.
Xuan Tian sighed, "In that case, I agree. Originally, I intended to let them return to the island to cultivate, but most of them have only cultivated for a short time and their minds are unsettled. They prefer to travel in the prehistoric world, so I had no choice but to let them go. However, my disciples are not very skilled and do not have any good magic weapons, so I dare not let them leave the human realm. There are many powerful beings in the prehistoric world, and I am afraid that something might happen to them." After saying this, Xuan Tian looked at the saints with a worried expression and secretly transmitted his voice to the three of them, instructing them to make a pained expression.
The other sages were furious upon hearing Xuantian's words. You call this disciple "not deeply cultivated"? There are three disciples in total: two quasi-sages and one Grand Luo Golden Immortal. "No good magic weapons to use"? Nonsense! Back at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, you stole the most! Your eldest disciple possesses one of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, and the magic weapons your two disciples used during the battle against Chiyou even got their hands on Zhunti. If it weren't for Xuantian's power and the reluctance to offend him, they would have rushed over and claimed it was fate.
What angered me most was how shameless Xuan Tian could be! He clearly wanted the magic weapon; it was utterly shameless.
Seventy-one Kunlun Daoist Discussions (Part Four)
Xuan Tian sighed, "Hui Xin, Liao Zhen, Cang Jie, why don't you come out and greet your senior uncles and masters? If you please them, they might even bestow some fine magic treasures upon you. Your senior uncles and masters are all renowned sages, so I believe the treasures they bring out won't be too bad."
The other sages were furious when they heard this. How could you extort money like this? You directly asked for a magic weapon, and it couldn't be a bad one. It's shameless. How come we never noticed before?
Huixin and the other two had already figured out their master's intentions. Although they had magic treasures, they wouldn't complain about having too many. Their master had said that if they could keep something, they should never be shy about taking it.
Upon hearing Xuan Tian's words, the three quickly stepped forward and bowed to Laozi, saying, "Huixin (Liaozhen and Cangjie) greets our senior master. May our senior master enjoy eternal bliss and live as long as the heavens."
Laozi's lips trembled upon hearing this, his heart filled with resentment. However, he had no choice but to continue. The Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man were nominally disciples of the Human Sect, but in reality, they were controlled by Xuantian. Back then, the Chan Sect seized the Human Sovereign, but it was of no use. The Chan Sect's lineage did not develop much, mainly because Xuanyuan did not promote the Chan Sect much in the mortal world. Moreover, Xuanyuan could not yet become the Human Sovereign, which was because Xuantian was behind it all. (Establishing the Three Sovereigns was nominally a matter for the Human Sect, but in reality, it depended on Xuantian's will. Although the Man Sovereign was ordained by Heaven and could not be changed, it could be delayed for a hundred years or so. But Laozi's Human Sect could not be delayed. If the Three Sovereigns did not return to their positions, the Human Sect could not be considered the orthodox lineage of the human race. Furthermore, if Xuantian was allowed to delay for some time and then take the Five Emperors under his wing, that would be troublesome.)
