Zhunti's Seven Treasures Tree defiantly blocked Laozi's Taiji Diagram. Laozi then struck Zhunti with his carrying pole. Zhunti, however, had no magic weapons, and his Seven Treasures Tree blocked the Taiji Diagram. Seeing Laozi's attack, he cried out urgently, "Senior Brother, help me!!"
Jieyin hurriedly took out the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner and threw it to Zhunti. Zhunti caught it and used it to protect himself. Laozi's carrying pole struck Zhunti, but it was blocked by the golden lotuses that rose from the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner. Unable to achieve any effect, Laozi had no choice but to reveal the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda above his head and try to cover the Kongtong Seal, but it was blocked by Jieyin.
Although Tongtian Yuanshi did not want to help Laozi obtain the treasure, as one of the Three Pure Ones, he could not help an outsider. Seeing that Jieyin had made a move, he and Jieyin stepped forward to fight. Jieyin only used the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus to protect himself and did not fight back.
Laozi, wielding a carrying pole, engaged in a fierce battle with Zhunti, but was repeatedly blocked by the Azure Lotus Banner. The Taiji Diagram was obstructed by the Seven Treasures Tree, and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda was blocked by Jieyin's Reception Banner. The reason was that Tongtian and Yuanshi, seemingly fighting fiercely and using all their strength, were actually not using their true abilities, and their performance was far too convincing. Yuanshi possessed the Pangu Banner, the most powerful offensive weapon in the world, while Tongtian had the Immortal Execution Sword, a supreme weapon of slaughter. Yet, they were locked in a prolonged battle against Jieyin alone—how could anyone believe it? Even a blind man would find it unbearable to watch. Laozi, secretly resentful, noticed Nuwa standing by without intervening, and a plan formed in his mind.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, Fellow Daoist Fuxi's cultivation is profound; he can surely enlighten the human race," Laozi declared loudly. Laozi's words struck a chord with Nuwa. Fuxi had perished in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, but his true spirit had remained under Nuwa's protection, a source of great anxiety for her. If Fuxi were to reincarnate as a human and receive the merit of enlightenment, although he might not become a saint, regaining his former supernatural powers would be much easier.
Having received Laozi's guarantee, Nuwa quickly took out the gourd vine. This gourd vine had gained one-tenth of the merit of creating humans and had been refined by Nuwa, making it a top-quality acquired merit treasure with thirty-eight layers of restrictions. Nuwa pulled out the gourd vine and struck at Zhunti, intending to entangle him so that Laozi could take the treasure. Seeing Nuwa's actions, the others secretly sensed something was wrong, and Yuanshi Tongtian's movements slowed down even more.
Yuanshi Tongtian hesitated for a moment, giving Jieyin an opportunity. After Jieyin blocked Yuanshi Tongtian's attack, he threw out the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus to block Laozi. Laozi then used the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda to block the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus and was about to retrieve the Kongtong Seal. Just as Laozi was about to succeed, something unexpected happened, which made Laozi furious.
After Jieyin deflected Yuanshi Tongtian's attack, he realized the two were holding back and gave up resisting. He used his Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus to block Laozi, but Laozi blocked it with his Exquisite Pagoda. Just as Laozi was about to succeed, Tongtian struck Jieyin with his sword. Jieyin thought Tongtian was using this opportunity to attack him, so he used his relic to block. With a clang, Tongtian's Qingping Sword was knocked out of his hand by Jieyin's relic and flew straight towards Laozi. Laozi thought everything was fine and was about to take the treasure, but he didn't expect Tongtian to use such a clumsy method to strike the Qingping Sword. Laozi's Exquisite Pagoda was blocked by the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus, and seeing the Qingping Sword coming, he had no choice but to dodge, but his heart was filled with rage.
Even Xuan Tian, who was standing to the side, was amused by Tong Tian's move. Tong Tian was really too funny, and his methods were too obvious. How could a sage's sword be so easily knocked away? It was truly the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Laozi glared angrily at Tongtian, his heart filled with hatred. He was furious, but Tongtian said awkwardly, "Senior brother, please forgive me. I was distracted for a moment and didn't see..." This made the other sages burst into laughter, and their movements slowed. This Tongtian, who usually seemed careless, was so shameless at this crucial moment. It was too ridiculous! Distracted? Even a sage wouldn't knock his sword away while distracted!
Just as the other sages were enjoying Tongtian's words, Xuantian suddenly shot out, sweeping his whisk towards the Kongtong Seal and snatching it away. Laozi, after all, was highly accomplished in Taoism. Although he was confused by Tongtian's words, he immediately realized Xuantian's intention and angrily shouted, "Xuantian, how dare you!!" He then threw away the Taiji Diagram.
Xuan Tian had long been wary of Laozi and the other sages. As he swept his Heaven and Earth Whisk towards the Kongtong Seal, he also threw out the Boundless Merit Ruler, which met the Taiji Diagram and blocked it. In that instant, Xuan Tian had already taken the Kongtong Seal. Even if the other sages reacted, they could no longer contend for it. The Kongtong Seal itself was created to gather the fortune of the human race, and Xuan Tian was the Holy Father of the human race, so naturally, the Kongtong Seal recognized him as its master upon contact.
Now that the Kongtong Seal had a master, the saints stopped fighting. Xuan Tian obtained the treasure, and although the other saints were disappointed, they still came up to congratulate him. Only Laozi was filled with resentment, his face was ashen, and he returned to Tai Chi Tian without saying a word.
Forty-two reincarnations of Fuxi, human race
In this battle to seize the Kongtong Seal, Laozi contributed the most effort, yet it was all for naught. The other sages didn't contribute much either, so they felt somewhat resentful. Nuwa, on the other hand, benefited from this. To gain Nuwa's assistance, Laozi promised to make Fuxi the Human Emperor. What makes a sage a sage is that their every word and action is close to the Dao. Therefore, the Dao of Heaven responds to a sage's words. Fuxi, however, was endowed with the destiny of the Human Emperor because of a single sentence from Laozi. This was something Laozi had overlooked. It's like selling something—you pay first, but receive nothing in return.
When the demon race was at its peak, it had two emperors, Di Jun and Tai Yi. As long as the demon race did not perish, the emperors' fortunes would not be interrupted, so they would not have to worry about their deaths. The reason why Xuan Tian dared to kill Di Jun was that Di Jun ordered the massacre of hundreds of millions of humans, and unlike Donghuang Tai Yi, he did not have a treasure like the Chaos Bell to suppress fortune. Once his fortunes were exhausted, even if Xuan Tian did not kill him, he would not live for long, and someone would naturally kill him. Now, the human race's fortunes are soaring, with three sages whose fortunes are connected. It is far stronger than when the demon race was at its peak. Moreover, Lao Tzu established the Human Sect, using treasures like the Taiji Diagram and the Longling Pagoda to suppress fortunes. The fortunes are continuous. As long as Lao Tzu's Human Sect exists, the human race will not suffer the same fate as the demon race. If Fu Xi attains the position of Human Emperor, and the human race has Lao Tzu to suppress fortunes with treasures, preventing them from being ruined, they will not perish. Although they may not become sages, they will be close.
