In that instant, only a handful of people, such as Empress Houtu and Chisongzi, knew what had happened in the entire Emperor's Palace.
The others only saw Hua Du reach out to pull Hu Le, trying to stop Hu Le from ascending the throne of the Human Emperor, while Hu Le pushed the Kongtong Seal in front of Hua Du, who then knelt down in a spectacular fashion.
What a disgrace!
While onlookers merely found it strange, Hua Du, the person directly involved, was furious.
“You…” Hua Du raised his head with difficulty, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could devour Hu Lesheng alive.
He was somewhat wise enough to know that even if he stood up and competed with Hu Le in the Emperor's Palace, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hu Le would probably not attack him in front of all the clan leaders.
However, he was right; Hu Le did not initially intend to make a move.
With so many people watching, if he couldn't even tolerate Lian Hua's dissenting opinions, wouldn't that make him seem narrow-minded?
Although he didn't want to argue with Hua Du, the other party was taking advantage of his kindness, making trouble for himself, and even trying to pull him along, which he couldn't tolerate...
Hu Le pretended not to see the murderous glare in Hua Du's eyes, smiled, withdrew the Kongtong Seal, patted Hua Du on the shoulder, and laughed:
"Clan Chief Huadu, it seems you also agree with my becoming the Human Emperor. However, there's no need for you to rush to kowtow. You can pay your respects after I have truly become the Human Emperor..."
"You bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"
Hua Du had never suffered such humiliation since childhood. Now, hearing Hu Le's sarcastic remarks, he was enraged, and the last bit of reason in his mind was consumed by anger.
He roared, slammed his hands on the ground, and flew out like a cannonball, heading straight for Hu Le.
Hu Le simply stretched out his hand to block Hua Du's charge.
"Heh...you brat! How utterly rude."
After laughing, he held Hua Du's head and gave him a gentle push. Hua Du flew backward and rushed out of the Emperor's Palace, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Inside the hall.
Guan Kong, who was sitting down, chuckled to himself upon seeing this scene. What a bunch of idiots, daring to cause trouble for their teacher.
And so, the teacher humiliated him severely in front of so many people.
Unfortunately, it was clear that there were too many people, so the teacher couldn't use harsh methods in front of everyone.
But we can't let him off easily.
Guan Kong stood up and quietly walked out of the side hall.
Arriving outside the palace, they rode on auspicious clouds and flew towards the direction where Huadu had disappeared.
After chasing for tens of thousands of miles, they finally saw Hua Du's figure. He seemed to be unharmed and was riding on auspicious clouds, cursing and swearing all the way back.
Guan Kong cast an invisibility spell and hid in a cloud high above.
As Hua Du flew overhead, Guan Kong took out a bright, shiny bead and aimed it at Hua Du's forehead.
Pearl descended from the sky, enveloped in a radiant glow.
Hua Du was alert and immediately sensed something. He looked up, but his eyes were momentarily dazzled by the light emanating from the pearl.
In the nick of time, he endured the blinding light and only had time to turn his head slightly.
He narrowly escaped a fatal blow, but suddenly felt a slump in his shoulder, followed by a sharp pain. He staggered and fell headfirst off the auspicious cloud.
Boom!
Finally, Huadu landed heavily on the small hill below, smashing half of the hilltop down.
Hua Du was quite tough; he lay in the pile of rubble for a while to recover before finally getting up, furious: "Which bastard attacked me!"
He looked up at the sky, about to shout a curse, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice.
"You blind fool, if you dare to oppose Daoist Xuanxiang again, you won't get away with it so easily next time!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Du froze, stood there for a moment, and then felt a wave of dejection wash over him, causing him to lower his head involuntarily…
...
The Hall of the Human Emperor.
Hu Le finally ascended to the throne of the Human Emperor.
As he played with the Kongtong Seal, he scanned the hall with his eyes, finally fixing his gaze on Chisongzi.
Chisongzi and Hu Le exchanged glances and immediately understood.
He stepped forward and said, "Everyone, if there are no objections, then the position of Human Emperor will be filled by Daoist Xuanxiang."
The hall was completely silent, and Feng Ye did not voice any objection at this moment.
He's willing to speak up for Hua Du, but when it comes to openly confronting Hu Le, he really lacks the courage.
Didn't you see the bravest one? First, he knelt down in public before this person, and then he was slapped to the heavens?
Seeing that no one objected for a while, Chisongzi smiled and said, "Then let it be so. From today onwards, Xuanxiang Daojun will be the third generation of human emperor of our human race."
After speaking, he bowed slightly to Hu Le first, "Your subject Chisongzi greets Your Majesty the Human Emperor!"
Upon seeing this, the elders of the ancestral temple also stood up and bowed.
Whether Bian Xiong and Kunyangzi, along with other clan leaders, were convinced or not, they had no choice but to step forward, follow suit, and obediently bow.
Only Houtu Niangniang and Xuanming Niangniang, relying on their status, sat there indifferently and silently.
Hu Le sat on the high throne, looking down at the entire palace.
Seeing everyone bow to him, he showed no pride or arrogance, his gaze calm and indifferent.
Strands of great human fortune began to rapidly converge, and the Kongtong Seal in his palm throbbed slightly, from which a wisp of purple energy flew out and entered his brow.
Soon, the purple aura spread out in his mind, transforming into countless shimmering purple Daoist proverbs.
His divine sense swept across the area, capturing countless cultivation methods related to the Human Emperor.
His mind swept over all the various methods, and finally found the secret method for condensing the Human Emperor's Dao Fruit.
Immediately following the guidance of the secret method, they began to gather their fortune and condense their Dao fruit.
However, condensing the Dao Fruit of the Human Emperor is not something that can be achieved in a day. He was simply quietly absorbing and transforming fortune, constantly moving towards the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit...
After everyone finished their rites, they escorted Hu Le to the temple.
Before the statues of the two human emperors, Hu Le, the newly crowned human emperor, led the crowd in burning incense and offering prayers.
Chisongzi stepped forward, pointed between the two statues of the human emperor, and a ball of earth-yellow divine light flew out from his fingertip, landing on the altar and instantly condensing into a statue.
The statue wore a golden crown, a purple robe, and hemp shoes. It held the Kongtong Seal in one hand and a purple bamboo staff in the other. Its appearance was exactly the same as Hu Le's.
Hu Le ordered someone to bring a gold needle, pierced the tip of his left ring finger, and squeezed out a drop of bright red blood.
Someone came over carrying a jade plate.
He dripped his blood onto the jade plate. The flawless drop of blood rolled around in the plate a few times before finally stopping in the center.
The man carried the jade plate to the statue, floated up, and smeared the drop of blood on the statue's brow.
In an instant, a clear light flashed across the statue, and its previously dull eyes seemed to become more lively, faintly radiating a crystal-like brilliance...
