Primordial Era: I, the Spiritual Stone Monkey, was born ahead of schedule to seize the throne.

Chapter 156: Who Has the Thicker Skin?

"The reason I have summoned you here today is to discuss the selection of the Heavenly Emperor. If you have anyone to recommend, please speak up. If he or she is of good character and conduct, he or she may sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor."

As Hongjun finished speaking,

Almost everyone present became fervent.

God!

The Lord of Heaven, ruling over the primordial world!

O ultimate authority!

If one becomes the ruler of the Heavenly Court, not only will one gain status, but also fortune and merit.

God!

This is the highest position in Heaven and Earth, second only to the position of saint.

Therefore, all the powerful figures present turned their gazes on each other with fervor, revealing their determination to win.

Even the Three Pure Ones and the saints Jieyin and Zhunti showed signs of being tempted.

but,

Many people were wary, as being the overlord of the world was not an easy task.

Both cataclysmic events occurred because of the struggle for supremacy.

They had witnessed the fate of the previous Heavenly Emperor, Di Jun.

Moreover, this is under the premise of having the demon race as a foundation.

If it were them, would their fate have been any better than Di Jun's?

Everyone had their own thoughts, but no one spoke first.

Qi Tian, ​​however, remained calm and composed, glancing left and right without uttering a sound.

He knew that Hongjun already had someone in mind.

No matter who I recommend now, I will be rejected.

of course,

Only Qi Tian knew this; no one else did.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Zhunti couldn't hold back any longer.

"Teacher, my senior brother Jieyin possesses great compassion and perseverance; he is qualified to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!"

As soon as this word comes out,

Many powerful beings were immediately stunned.

They are already supreme saints of heaven and earth, so why are they still vying with them for the position of Heavenly Emperor?

Shouldn't we be free from desires and wants?

"I agree!"

"I also think that Senior Brother Jieyin could be the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Brother Jieyin has a compassionate heart and will surely treat all living beings in the primordial world with kindness."

"good!"

At this point, several other Western quasi-saints also chimed in.

They all recommended Jieyin as the Heavenly Emperor.

Jieyin remained calm and silent. Although he did not refuse, everyone understood his silence.

Now Yuanshi was in a panic.

He had long regarded the Heavenly Court as something from the East, belonging to the Three Pure Ones.

Now that Westerners are trying to steal it, isn't this a slap in the face to the Three Pure Ones?

Moreover,

He himself was determined to obtain the position of Heavenly Emperor.

Previously, because he wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible, he did not use the same-origin spiritual treasure to sever his corpse.

This resulted in his strength being basically at the bottom among the saints, only slightly stronger than Zhunti.

Therefore,

How could he possibly let go of the Heavenly Emperor's throne, which offered him boundless fortune?

With endless fortune, his speed of comprehending the laws will increase infinitely.

With his powerful understanding of the laws, he will be able to overpower other saints.

Thinking of this,

Yuanshi no longer held back and spoke directly:

"That's not appropriate. Junior Brother is a Westerner and doesn't know much about the Eastern lands. Besides, the Heavenly Emperor has many trivial matters to attend to, which would affect his cultivation. I'll take over! Junior Brother, focus on your cultivation and don't let playthings distract you or cause you to give up on yourself."

He said it with a serious expression on his face, as if he was doing it for his own good.

As soon as this word comes out,

Qi Tian almost burst out laughing; he hadn't expected Yuan Shi to be even more shameless than Zhun Ti.

The other powerful beings also had strange expressions.

Jieyin, on the other hand, had veins throbbing on his forehead and was almost furious.

Discriminating against him because he is from the West is one thing.

He also said that his becoming the Heavenly Emperor was a waste of time and a sign of self-abandonment.

So, when you, Yuanshi, became the Heavenly Emperor, it was because you were striving for advancement and working hard to improve yourself?

but,

Before anyone could even ignite the fire, Zhunti exploded first:

"Yuanshi, how dare you look down on the West?"

After saying this, before Yuanshi could speak, Zhunti turned around and bowed to Hongjun, weeping as he pleaded:

"Teacher, our Western lands are also a primordial wilderness. He, Yuanshi, discriminates against our Western lands and looks down on the creatures of the West. How can someone of such character sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?"

"presumptuous!"

Yuanshi's expression changed drastically. He abruptly stood up, pointed at Zhunti, and angrily said:

"When have I ever looked down on Western creatures? How dare you slander me? Do you really think I am something else?"

"alright!"

Hongjun gave a soft shout, his expression remaining calm, but Yuanshi shivered involuntarily.

He kept silent and dared not speak again.

Zhunti, on the other hand, looked pleased with himself.

However, Zhunti was clearly celebrating too soon.

"Whether in the East or the West, a sage cannot sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!"

As soon as Hongjun said this,

Zhunti's face immediately fell.

The other sages, including Yuanshi Taiqing, also showed disappointment in their eyes.

but,

Other powerful beings who coveted the position of Heavenly Emperor had their eyes light up.

Without sages competing with them, their chances are even greater.

just,

Before they could even rejoice, Zhunti quickly spoke again:

"My chief disciple, the Medicine Master, of the Western Sect, has already attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Moreover, he respects his teachers and values ​​the Dao, possessing virtuous character. He is worthy of sitting on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!"

The crowd was stunned at first, then erupted in cheers.

"Shameless!"

"absurd!"

How did a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?

"How can one rule the world if one cannot win the hearts of the people?"

This time, Zhunti's words seem to have provoked public outrage.

Not only Yuanshi, but other powerful beings also opposed it.

Zhunti's words implied that he wanted someone from the Western religion to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor; the meaning was self-evident.

How could so many powerful beings possibly agree to this?

and,

If a powerful immortal were to ride on their heads, how could they possibly accept that?

Seeing that everyone objected, Zhunti did not back down and retorted:

"So what if you're a Grand Luo Golden Immortal? Ability isn't about strength! As long as you have good character, your teacher approves of you, and you have the backing of us saints, who dares to disobey you?"

"you"

Everyone was immediately rendered speechless.

"A Great Immortal is capable!"

At this time,

Qi Tian suddenly spoke:

"With a teacher here, anyone, regardless of their cultivation level, can sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Hearing Qi Tian's words to Zhunti, everyone looked incredulous.

The feud between the two was common knowledge, so they wouldn't be surprised if Qi Tian himself wanted to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

But what kind of bizarre move is it to speak up for the enemy now?

Is beating a sign of affection?

Everyone was surprised and doubtful, but Zhunti was not happy.

Instead, he looked at Qi Tian warily.

He didn't believe Qi Tian would be so kind as to speak up for him.

There must be a conspiracy.

Qi Tian ignored the gazes of Zhunti and the others, and continued:

"The position of Heavenly Emperor concerns the operation of the primordial world and involves the fate and life and death of countless living beings. It is to act on behalf of Heaven. I believe that the person who sits on the throne of Heavenly Emperor cannot belong to any faction!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces immediately lit up with smiles. That's more like it!

The sect of saints must be eliminated.

Zhunti, however, let out a cold snort with an unpleasant expression:

"Then you are not fit to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. You possess the Primordial Purple Qi, unless you relinquish it!"

Speaking of which,

A sly glint flashed in Zhunti's eyes, then he said seriously:

"Actually, I think if you were willing to relinquish the Primordial Purple Qi and then sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, I believe no one would object!"

After speaking, he glanced at the people around him.

Hearing Zhunti's words, the others remained silent.

But their strange looks indicated that they agreed with what Zhunti said.

after all,

The position of a saint is far more prestigious than that of the Heavenly Emperor.

At this time,

Only then did everyone remember that Qi Tian also possessed a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.

His eyes immediately lit up.
