138: Chapter 138 The Resistant Yu the Great; The Blindly Confident Guang Chengzi

Venerable Daoxing, Master Lingbao, and Que Liusun all harbored secret grievances, their resentment growing.

Que Liusun was secretly displeased in his heart: "Why should all the benefits always fall to you, Guangchengzi, first?"

"As fellow members of the Twelve Golden Immortals, you monopolize everything just because you are the first seat; this is far too biased."

"If we were to be Dayu's Revered Master, we would not necessarily do any worse than you!"

Venerable Daoxing was also filled with unwillingness, feeling that Guangchengzi was too dictatorial, taking this massive Opportunity for himself without any regard for the feelings of his fellow Disciples.

Yet, even though resentment surged within them and they were filled with dissatisfaction, none of them betrayed it on their faces, and no one dared to openly object.

They all knew that Guangchengzi held a transcendent status and was the first seat. Furthermore, having just witnessed Yuanshi Tianzun's overwhelming fury, none of them wanted to step forward and compete, causing trouble or displeasing their Revered Master.

They could only suppress all their dissatisfaction in their hearts, enduring in silence.

Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa's eyes flickered. Although he was somewhat unconvinced, he finally spoke calmly: "Since Senior Brother is willing to take on this heavy responsibility, then we shall follow Senior Brother's wishes."

Golden Immortal Samantabhadra also nodded in agreement, not saying another word.

Seeing that no one openly objected, Guangchengzi immediately smiled and said solemnly: "Since that is the case, from now on, I will take the lead in Dayu's instruction, and you all will assist from the sidelines. Let us work together to help Dayu achieve Perfection in his Karma. Do not let any more mistakes occur, lest we be punished by Revered Master upon our return!"

Everyone agreed in unison, though each had their own thoughts and calculations. The group then turned into escaping light and continued toward the Mortal capital of the Human Race.

Under the blessing of the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Twelve Golden Immortals arrived above the Mortal capital of the Human Race before long.

Below, the city was ancient and imposing, with the Luck of the Human Race swirling and rising. The people lived in peace and contentment, and the atmosphere of Mortal life was incredibly rich.

The group slowly descended from the sky to the ground.

The appearance of these immortals, with their transcendent bearing, immediately caused the Human Race citizens in the city to look up in awe and reverence.

Emperor Shun in the capital sensed the aura of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and a streak of Profound Yellow Qi immediately flew toward them.

Wrapped by the Profound Yellow Qi, the Twelve Golden Immortals had no time to resist before they arrived in the center of the capital's great hall in the blink of an eye.

In the great hall, Dayu was dressed in a Profound Yellow imperial robe, sitting upright on the Human Emperor's throne. The Luck of the Human Race swirled around him; his expression was gentle yet carried an inherent majesty. His gaze slowly swept over the Twelve Golden Immortals in the hall, and he stood up to greet them with a bow.

"Dayu of the Human Race greets you all."

Guangchengzi stepped forward, nodded slightly, and said with a touch of excitement: "Dayu, we are the Twelve Golden Immortals under the seat of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun. We have come today by the decree of our Revered Master, specifically to take you as a Disciple, to impart the Dao and instruct you, and to assist you in achieving Perfection in your Karma."

As his voice fell, the air became quiet for a moment.

Dayu's pupils contracted sharply, and a monstrous wave rose in his heart instantly.

Looking at Guangchengzi, who was covered in the tribulation Qi of the Human Race and the resentment of the Human Race, his eyes were instantly filled with intense resistance and disgust.

As the current Common Sovereign of the Human Race, wielding the Luck of the Human Race, from the moment he saw the Twelve Golden Immortals, he knew everything about their history with the Human Race.

He saw the ancestors of the Human Race who had perished at the hands of Guangchengzi on the battlefield.

He rejected Guangchengzi from the bottom of his heart and was unwilling to be close to him at all, let alone bow to him and honor him as his Revered Master!

Dayu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was full of resistance. He pondered secretly: "The old grievances of Zhuolu are still vivid in my mind, with monstrous slaughter and heavy baleful Qi. How could I take him as my Revered Master? There is no reason for this!"

Just as he was about to politely decline, a gentle yet majestic voice suddenly echoed in his ears—it was Emperor Shun, who had abdicated not long ago.

"Dayu, do not decline."

"Your Revered Master was obtained through a deal between Yuanshi Tianzun and the Heavenly Emperor."

"The Heavenly Emperor has already delayed for you for a long time. Do not delay again, lest it damage the reputation of the Heavenly Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Dayu stiffened slightly. His hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched tightly. Although he was filled with unwillingness, he could only respond secretly toward the direction of Emperor Shun: "Emperor Shun, I... I understand!"

"I have wronged you."

Hearing Dayu's agreement, Emperor Shun, deep in the great hall, withdrew his Primordial Spirit connection with him.

Dayu took a deep breath, suppressing all the resistance and unwillingness in his eyes, and slowly walked down from the Human Emperor's throne, standing in the center of the great hall.

He raised his eyes to look at Guangchengzi. His voice was calm and waveless, yet carried a hint of barely concealed dejection: "Since that is the case, your Disciple Dayu is willing to take Revered Master Guangchengzi as my Revered Master."

After saying this, he bowed and bent his waist, performing the grand ceremony of apprenticeship.

Seeing this, a triumphant smile instantly spread across Guangchengzi's face. He quickly stepped forward, raising his hand to support Dayu in a gesture, his tone unable to hide his joy: "Good! Good Disciple! Quickly, rise!"

Seeing this, Chijingzi immediately stepped forward to offer his congratulations, his voice loud and clear: "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on taking the Human Emperor as your high Disciple. This is a great fortune for the Chan Sect, and also a great fortune for the Human Race!"

Master Taiyi rubbed his chin and casually chimed in: "Senior Brother is the head of the Golden Immortals and possesses profound Daoist arts. It is most appropriate for you to instruct the Common Sovereign Dayu. Congratulations, Senior Brother."

Immortal Master Yuding stood to the side and spoke calmly, his tone flat: "Congratulations, Senior Brother."

Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa stepped forward and nodded gently at Dayu: "Common Sovereign Dayu, from now on, we are all your elders in the same sect. We will surely assist from the sidelines and help you in your cultivation."

Golden Immortal Samantabhadra also spoke, his tone modest: "Common Sovereign, rest assured. We will strictly follow the decree of Revered Master Yuanshi and will surely do our utmost to help you achieve Perfection in your Karma."

As for Que Liusun, Venerable Daoxing, and Master Lingbao, the three of them stood behind the crowd with calm expressions, but deep in their eyes, they hid intense disdain and resentment.

Que Liusun stepped forward, bowed in greeting, and said with a tone devoid of ripples: "Congratulations, Senior Brother."

Venerable Daoxing followed closely behind, his voice cold: "Congratulations."

Master Lingbao just nodded slightly and said nothing, completely lacking any sincerity in his congratulations.

Guangchengzi naturally noticed the attitude of those few, but he didn't care at all. He knew his own actions were too overbearing, so if his Junior Brothers were dissatisfied, let them be dissatisfied.

He turned to look at Dayu, his expression becoming even more gentle, and said: "Disciple, since you have already taken me as your Revered Master, tell your Revered Master about your future plans so that I can help you review them."

Dayu straightened his body, his hands hanging by his sides tightening slightly. He bowed to Guangchengzi and lied: "Your Disciple's priority is currently to focus on recuperation and development."

(Thinking to himself: "Hmph! A murderer who has slaughtered so many ancestors of the Human Race, worthy of earning Karma from me?")

Dayu already had a plan.

He would not put his inner ideas about the development of the Human Race into practice until he had learned all the Cultivation Techniques and Daoist arts of the Chan Sect.

If you want Karma, you must trade it for your foundation.

"No problem, no problem, I understand."

Guangchengzi waved his hand, his heart even more excited and confident.

"Dayu has no ideas for the development of the Human Race; the achievements of the Fifth Emperor will definitely be guided by me!"

"The Karma of the Human Race will definitely have a large portion belonging to me."

"Hahahaha!"
