Chapter 503 Is the Third Emperor of the Human Race About to be Born?
Chapter 503 Is the Third Emperor of the Human Race About to be Born?
Overwhelmed with excitement, Guang Chengzi quickly pursed his lips and said:
"Does Master intend for me to guide this Human Emperor?"
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and murmured:
"Exactly."
"This child is named Xuanyuan. He was born with extraordinary talents and has an exceptional destiny."
"When he is born, you shall go to the human race, take him as your disciple, and guide him on the path to becoming the Human Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi was overjoyed and immediately bowed solemnly to Yuanshi Tianzun:
"This disciple will obey Master's instructions!"
Having said that, Guang Chengzi didn't linger and turned to leave Yuxu Palace.
"Very good!"
"I will only wait for Xuanyuan to become the Human Emperor of the human race, and then I will also gain the merit of teaching and the reward of Heaven."
"When that time comes, perhaps I can also greatly increase my cultivation level like Senior Brother Xuandu!"
Guang Chengzi was incredibly excited.
Earlier, after Heaven allocated the quotas for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to educate the human race, the Three Pure Ones gathered disciples from the three religions in Penglai.
During this period, Xuandu, Duobao, and he were selected as the candidates to go to the human race to educate them.
After Shennong descended to earth, Xuandu left Penglai and went to the human race.
After receiving instruction, he assisted Shennong in successfully attaining enlightenment as the Earthly Sovereign of the human race.
When Shennong returned to the Earthly Sovereign position, Heaven bestowed merit upon him, and Xuandu's cultivation greatly increased under the blessing of that merit.
The disciples of the three religions witnessed all of that.
Now, it is Guang Chengzi's turn to go to the human race to assist the Earth Emperor in proving the Dao, and he is naturally excited and looking forward to it.
On the other side, there is another secondary island of Penglai Immortal Island.
On this island, there is another island floating in the air, which is Jin'ao Island.
When the three religions moved to a new location, the Tongtian Sect Leader also moved the entire Jin'ao Island there.
"Oh?"
"Is the third of the three human emperors about to be born?"
Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian glanced at himself and muttered to himself.
"Once the third emperor attains enlightenment, it will be time for my disciples to go to the human race!"
Thinking about it, a hint of anticipation also flashed through the heart of the Sage Tongtian.
He had already discussed this with Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Shengren beforehand.
The second of the three human emperors, the Earth Emperor, was taught by Xuandu, a disciple of the Supreme Sage, while the third emperor, the Human Emperor, was taught by a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
As for Tongtian, naturally, he could only let his disciples teach the five emperors of the human race how to attain enlightenment.
Tongtian had no objection to this.
At the same time, in a cave on the secondary island, Daoist Duobao suddenly opened his eyes.
Is the third of the three human emperors about to be born?
"If I attain enlightenment soon, I can go to the human race."
Daoist Duobao muttered to himself, unable to contain his excitement.
Previously, he had also seen that after the Earthly Emperor Shennong attained enlightenment, Xuandu gained a lot of Heavenly Dao merits, which greatly increased his cultivation level.
As for him, as the candidate to teach the Five Emperors of the Human Race, if he successfully assists the Five Emperors in attaining the Dao, he will naturally receive a great deal of Heavenly Merit.
Western religion, Mount Sumeru.
Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Golden Pool, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, also sensed the trace of the Human Emperor's aura that had condensed above the human territory.
"The Third Emperor is coming."
Zhunti slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jieyin, who was sitting cross-legged beside him.
The guide nodded slightly and said:
"After the Three Sovereigns came the Five Emperors of the Human Race."
"Although my Western religion only received one quota for educating the Five Emperors, it is still better than having none at all."
Zhunti neither agreed nor disagreed with what Jieyin said, and his face showed deep thought.
After a moment's thought, Zhunti suddenly realized something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He quickly said:
"Senior brother."
"Although the quota for educating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is determined by the will of Heaven."
"But... but can't we try to get it done?"
After hearing what Zhunti said, Jieyin slightly narrowed his eyes, somewhat not quite understanding what Zhunti meant, and muttered doubtfully:
"Junior brother, what...what do you mean?"
Zhunti pursed his lips and quickly explained:
"The Heavenly Dao has determined the quotas for educating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
"But Heaven doesn't dictate that those who teach must succeed in teaching."
"Our Western religion has two sages in charge, but they were only allocated one spot to educate the five emperors of the human race. This is already very unfair."
"Could we... perhaps think of a way to share some of the merit?"
At this point, Zhunti paused, then gave Jieyin a meaningful look.
After listening to what Zhunti said, Jieyin immediately understood the implied meaning and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he came to his senses and said with a serious expression:
"Junior brother, that may be true, but putting it into practice will probably be more complicated than it seems!"
"Furthermore, isn't it a bit of a waste to offend the three religions for the sake of the merits of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
"Now that the Three Pure Ones are one family, it wouldn't be good for our Western Sect if we angered them."
Although Jieyin was somewhat tempted, he knew that the Three Pure Ones were not to be trifled with these days.
If this really angers them, then the Western Religion won't have a good outcome.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti glanced at himself slightly and replied:
"I understand your concerns, senior brother."
"However, if we don't find a way to compete for it, the merit we can gain from simply educating one of the Five Emperors of the Human Race is... negligible!"
Jieyin paused for a moment, his face full of sorrow.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke:
"Let's take another look!"
"If the opportunity really arises, then... we could cautiously make a move to compete for it."
"But some things are predetermined and cannot be forced."
Upon hearing this, Zhunti nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Beyond the heavens, in the palace of Nuwa.
The Sage Nuwa also sensed a trace of the Human Emperor's aura within the human realm below.
"The third of the three human emperors is about to descend!"
"I wonder what kind of changes the primordial world will face after the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race?"
Thinking of this, the sage Nuwa frowned slightly.
"Huff huff..."
After a moment's thought, she let out a long sigh and then composed herself.
As for the sage Nuwa, she had successfully guided her brother Fuxi to attain the throne of the human race.
She doesn't participate in other conflicts in the prehistoric world, so there's no need to worry too much about others.
……
Hundred Thousand Mountains, Ox Clan.
Niu Ba also sensed the aura of the Human Emperor that had been born above the human race.
"It'll be soon!"
"After the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race came the Era of the Five Emperors."
"I wonder, which of the Five Emperors did Ben'er secure for my Bull Clan as a spot to educate them?"
Niu Ben obtained a spot for the Niu clan to educate the Five Emperors from the Three Pure Ones, but he did not specify which Five Emperor it was.
Upon thinking of this, Niu Ba frowned slightly, wondering if he should go to the Netherworld again to ask Niu Ben for clarification.
