Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 458: Tongtian Sect Leader Asks for an Official Position
"Alas, my poor disciple, he is obviously a junior, but he has to shoulder responsibilities that do not belong to him. He has to fight against the majority with a small number of people, facing fourteen great masters of magic."

"It's true that my immortal path is empty-handed. All the seniors are dead, so I have to let the younger generation take the lead and strengthen the reputation of my immortal path."

When Saint Taiqing mentioned that Ao Bing was seriously injured, Patriarch Tongtian became even angrier, and spoke in a sarcastic tone in front of all the powerful men.

He scolded all the great masters of Xuanmen in the world at once. However, those masters who were scolded by him could not refute and could only accept it.

There was nothing they could do. When Ao Bing was fighting the powerful demon, they did not help but just watched from the sidelines.

If they were outsiders, they would just watch the fun and no one would blame them. But the problem was that compared to Ao Bing, they were not outsiders, they were all seniors of Xuanmen.

It was their duty to slay the demon, and it was not the turn of Ao Bing, a junior, to step forward.

However, because they were afraid of causing trouble, when the demonic plague broke out in the North Sea, they all chose to stand by and watch. They did not go to support Ao Bing, and watched Ao Bing fight a group of powerful men.

Is it wrong for them to do this? Of course it is wrong, but generally no one dares to say it, because they are very strong and no one would mess with them for no reason.

But Master Tongtian just couldn't get along with them. One reason was that Ao Bing was his disciple and he couldn't just sit back and watch his disciple suffer.

Secondly, he is very powerful and a saint, so he is not afraid of these people with great supernatural powers, so he just says whatever he wants and sticks to the facts.

Look, even after being scolded by Master Tongtian, no one with great supernatural powers dared to stand up and refute.

Why didn't they refute? Isn't it because they were in the wrong that they didn't dare to do so? If they were not in the wrong, they would stand up and argue with Tongtian Patriarch, and Tongtian Patriarch would not be able to kill them with one sword.

But if he dares to stand up and refute when he is in the wrong, Tongtian Sect Master will be furious and chop him to pieces, and outsiders will have no chance to say anything and can only say that he asked for it.

"That's enough. Don't make things worse." Seeing that Master Tongtian was getting more and more outrageous, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said.

Now that Honghuang is in decline, we should focus on stability and never over-stimulate those with great supernatural powers, lest they do extreme things and ruin Honghuang's path to rise.

"It's not that I want to make a big deal out of this, but they've gone too far. As a member of the Xuanmen, if they see the demons rampant but don't take action, then what are they for?"

"It would be better to disband Xuanmen directly, so that when everyone is cleaning up their own mess in the future, they won't be blamed."

Master Tongtian was angry, and his words made the expressions on the faces of the great masters in the world even uglier.

If he really did what he said and disbanded Xuanmen, then the friendship between us would be gone. If we had a conflict with the Saint again, the Saint would not have to care about the old friendship and could just kill us.

Moreover, as long as Xuanmen still exists, they can act in the name of Xuanmen and oppress the other old forces.

For example, the three innate tribes...

In the past, as long as they didn’t go too far, the three innate tribes would have to endure it for the sake of Xuanmen’s face, even if they suffered some grievances.

But if there is no Xuanmen, if they dare to bully the three Xiantian tribes again, do they really think that there are no great masters in the three Xiantian tribes? I will beat you if I say so.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Xuanmen was founded by our master. What qualifications do you and I have to discuss disbanding Xuanmen?"

Saint Taiqing rebuked unhappily and told Master Tongtian to be careful with his words.

"What's the big deal? With something like this happening, they can turn a blind eye to the outbreak of demonic plague and sit back and watch the younger generation fight to the death. It's obvious that the Xuanmen has disappeared from their hearts."

"In this situation, it's a bit ridiculous to talk about Xuanmen's unity."

"Judging from what happened today, I'm afraid Xuanmen is already dead in name only. You're afraid of Master getting angry and dare not say it, so let me say it."

"Since everyone is here, let's go to Zixiao Palace together and talk to Master about this matter and ask for his opinion. Can Xuanmen still stay?"

Tongtian Patriarch had an extremely tough attitude and was determined to seek justice for Ao Bing. He even took everyone to Zixiao Palace to seek justice from Daozu.

Now, those great masters who pretended to be dead could no longer sit still. They invited Zhen Yuanzi, who was known to be a good man, and the Jade Emperor, who had the closest relationship with the Taoist master, to persuade Tong Tian Jiaozhu.

"Brother Dao, calm down. It is true that we did something wrong, but it is not necessary to go to the point of seeing the teacher."

Zhen Yuanzi hurried over to persuade him.

"Brother Zhen Yuanzi is right. It is most important for the teacher to cultivate in peace. There is no need to disturb the teacher's cultivation for such a small matter."

After Zhen Yuanzi, the Jade Emperor also followed suit.

If the matter really gets brought before the Taoist Master, then given his temperament, he won't disband the Xuan Sect, but he will definitely go with the flow and drive all three thousand worldly visitors who had listened to the teachings in the Zixiao Palace out of the Xuan Sect.

When Xuanmen had not yet become popular, Daozu was thinking about how to strengthen Xuanmen.

But when Xuanmen flourished, Daozu regretted it again, thinking that too many people would be difficult to manage and would easily breed bad people. Therefore, it is better to have fewer people.

The killing calamity of immortals and gods was born because of this. Therefore, worldly visitors like Zhen Yuanzi who had listened to the Taoism would definitely not want to bring the matter to the Taoist master, because they would be the ones who would suffer.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa are the direct disciples of Taoism. As long as they are still there, the status of Xuanmen will not be shaken.

As for other people, including the two saints from the West, they are all dispensable in front of the Taoist Ancestor.

"If we don't go to Zixiao Palace, then how do you think we should resolve this matter? Are we just going to let it go? My disciple deserves to be besieged by the powerful demons."

"If that's the case, I might as well go find my master and tell him that all the powerful men in my Xuan Sect are dead, and there is only one third-generation disciple left to take the lead."

Although Master Tongtian was still unforgiving in his words, his attitude had indeed softened a lot. At least he no longer made a fuss about going to Zixiao Palace.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter could still be discussed. It would only take a little more bleeding like the saint.

"We have all seen the performance of the human dragon this time. It is indeed worthy of praise. He is the best of the three generations of Xuanmen. Even we are far inferior to him."

"So, to help him achieve his goal, we have decided to jointly recommend him as the Emperor of Jiuxiao Jiuchen, in charge of the punishment of heaven and earth, and command the thunder of the heavens. What do you think, brother?"

As soon as Tongtian's attitude softened, the Jade Emperor couldn't wait to speak. The conditions he offered were not low.

Among all the laws of heaven and earth, thunder is the most important. Among all the powers of heaven and earth, punishment is the most important. This is the supreme means for the way of heaven to rule the three realms. Giving this power to Ao Bing is a great reward.

In this era when the Four Heavenly Emperors had not yet appeared in the world, the authority of the Emperor of the Nine Skies was the highest among all the emperors in heaven, second only to the Jade Emperor.

It can be said that the compensation offered by the great masters of supernatural powers has been very sincere.

"That sounds good, but is it compensation? He deserves it. The demons are causing chaos, the gods are terrified, the immortals are terrified, but the dragons are the only ones who are not afraid and dare to draw their swords and stand up."

"He can do things that you cannot do, so he can naturally have authority that you cannot have. He risked his life to become the Emperor of the Nine Skies, so it should not be considered as compensation."

"So, your conditions are not enough. Reopen it for me."

Patriarch Tongtian sneered and directly summoned the Four Zhuxian Swords scattered around the North Sea. Without putting them away, he pointed the tips of the swords at Zhen Yuanzi and the Jade Emperor, as if he was ready to attack them if they had a disagreement.

At this moment, both Zhen Yuanzi and the Jade Emperor broke out in cold sweat and continued to speak:
"The position of Jiuxiao Emperor alone is indeed not enough to reward him for his merits. Let's put it this way. If a new supreme fruit position is born in the future, Renlong will be the only candidate, and no one can compete with him."

"In addition, in order to show the merits of the human dragon in pacifying the demonic threat, from now on, all Xuanmen disciples who see him must bow to show respect."

The Jade Emperor began to paint a big picture. First, he promised Ao Bing the position of the supreme ruler in the future, and then he elevated his status in Xuanmen, making him a role model for all disciples of Xuanmen.

"I've said so much, but it's all empty talk. What's the point?" Tongtian Sect Master was still dissatisfied and signaled the two to continue to increase the stakes.

Then, the Jade Emperor and Zhen Yuanzi both looked embarrassed. It was not that they were reluctant to give up the treasure, but they really didn't know what to give Ao Bing for the moment.

They came on behalf of the gods, and they were at fault first, so what they gave must be more precious than what the two saints gave, otherwise it would be unjustifiable.

"Since you can't reach a consensus, how about letting me make the decision?" Seeing their dilemma, Saint Taiqing stepped forward and said.

"Please let the Taoist master decide."

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi and the Jade Emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said in unison.

Taoist Master means the leader of Xuanmen. At this time, Saint Taiqing is called Taoist Master instead of Saint, which means there are no outsiders here, all of them are Xuanmen’s own people, which is intended to bring the relationship closer.

"Humph!"

The Patriarch Tongtian snorted coldly, without offending the Saint Taiqing, and tacitly allowed him to make the decision.

"Since the death of Lord Dong Wang, the position of the leader of the prehistoric male immortals has been vacant until now. Now that the human dragon has made extraordinary achievements, this position is not enough to honor his achievements."

"So, on behalf of Master, I want to appoint Human Dragon as the leader of the male immortals in the prehistoric world to rule over the immortals. What do you think?"

Saint Taiqing knew that the matter could not continue to develop, otherwise Xuanmen would become a laughing stock, so he cut the Gordian knot and promised Ao Bing a position that no one else dared to promise.

The Lord of the Ancient Male Immortals!

He knew that faced with this condition, Master Tongtian would definitely accept it. As for whether other great masters would accept it, it was not within his consideration.

What he wanted was for Tongtian Patriarch to stop making trouble, so he naturally had to follow Tongtian Patriarch's opinion. If others were dissatisfied, he, the Saint Taiqing, would not be afraid to kill people.

"Okay, this is good compensation!"

As expected, after hearing this condition, Master Tongtian immediately smiled and praised loudly.

But the expressions of the other powerful people all changed after hearing these words.
