61: Chapter 61 The Path to Emperorship

Chaos Sea.

After The Six Sages departed, Shi Yan looked at the Spirit Treasures he had obtained from the auction and nodded with satisfaction.

"Several High Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, and an Acquired Enlightenment Tea Tree; the Heavenly Dao Saints are indeed wealthy."

With these Spirit Treasures and spiritual objects, the combat power of the Human Race could be elevated to a new level.

...

The Primordial World, the Coast of the East Sea.

The ancestral land of the Human Race.

Shi Yan and all the Human Race Cultivators at the Golden Immortal level and above were present, including the chief and deputy deities of the Water Department of the Heavenly Court, who had also returned to the ancestral land of the Human Race.

Shi Yan stood at the very front, and amidst the excited expressions of the Human Race, he slowly brought out the Supreme Treasure of Humanity, the kongtong seal!

With the appearance of the Supreme Treasure of Humanity, the kongtong seal, a mysterious yellow light enveloped the Coast of the East Sea.

Shi Yan injected his own Human Race Luck into the kongtong seal, and his voice, accompanied by Hunyuan magical power, spread throughout the entire Primordial World: "I, Shi Yan of the Human Race, today use the Supreme Treasure of Humanity, the kongtong seal, as proof to formally proclaim myself as the Human Heavenly Emperor!"

"From this day forth, I shall govern the Human Race, protect my people in safety, and promote the prosperity of my Human Race!"

As his voice fell, a mysterious yellow light emitted from the kongtong seal and injected into Shi Yan's body.

The Heavenly Emperor fruit position entered his body.

At the same time, the Luck that had been suppressed by the Chaos Pearl was integrated into the Luck of the Human Race.

With the Hunyuan Luck added and the Heavenly Emperor returning to his position, the Luck of the Human Race surged at this moment.

Under this immense Luck, the cultivation levels of the Human Race Cultivators surged; many Golden Immortal Cultivators broke through directly to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and those stuck at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Bottleneck also took the opportunity to break through the barrier, their auras rising steadily.

Inside the ancestral land, spiritual light soared to the sky, and the sounds of Cultivators breaking through rose one after another.

The concentration of Innate Spiritual Qi in the Human Race territory also became more dense following the surge in the Luck of the Human Race.

The surge in the Luck of the Human Race was naturally sensed by the Heavenly Dao Saints.

In Zixiao Palace, after Hongjun glanced at it, he continued to comprehend the Law and Cultivate.

It was as if he had expected it long ago.

...

The Six Sages, who had just returned to their own Dao fields, had different expressions in their eyes.

On Shouyang Mountain, Taiqing remained inactive; with the Human Teachings orthodoxy in place, the stronger the Human Race became, the more Luck he would receive.

On Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi snorted coldly, dissatisfied with this, but still instructed his Disciples not to easily get into disputes with the Human Race.

In Biyou Palace, Tongtian on the cloud bed had a faint smile on his lips; the Jiejiao had the most positions of Imperial Teacher, and the stronger the Luck of the Human Race, the more benefits the Jiejiao would receive.

In Nüwa Palace, Nüwa looked with a sorrowful face at the Human Race, whose Luck rivaled that of the Saint orthodoxies.

She sighed, "Had I known the Human Race would be like this, I should have paid more attention to the Human Race..."

In the West, at Mount Sumeru, Zhunti and Jieyin watched the immense Luck of the Human Race, drooling crazily, their little schemes stirring again.

Zhunti looked at Jieyin and said cautiously: "Senior Brother, with so much Luck in the Human Race, should we..."

A flash of light passed through Jieyin's eyes, but thinking of Shi Yan's powerful strength, he said in a deep voice: "Before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors reach Perfection, we must not act rashly."

"Understood!"

Zhunti realized; if they couldn't pull small tricks during the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, that meant they could stir up trouble afterwards.

"Junior Brother, we certainly will not hand over the positions of Imperial Teacher in the West to others."

Jieyin nodded slightly and said no more, but his gaze remained fixed on the direction of the Coast of the East Sea, his eyes filled with greed and jealousy.

...

Coast of the East Sea. After the Heavenly Emperor fruit position entered his body.

The entire Human Race bowed simultaneously to Shi Yan, saying in unison: "We pay our respects to Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor!"

Shi Yan raised his hand, the mysterious yellow Qi flowing slowly around him, the kongtong seal held in his hand, and a gentle yet majestic aura emanated from his body.

His voice spread throughout the entire Human Race, majestic and solemn: "Rise, my people, there is no need for such formalities."

Then the Human Race stood up, and Fuxi also looked at Shi Yan and said loudly: "I, the Common Sovereign of the Human Race, Fuxi, voluntarily abdicate and pass the position to the Heavenly Emperor Shi Yan; from now on, I will devote myself to Cultivate and will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Human Race."

As his voice fell, the Human Race Luck representing the Common Sovereign of the Human Race flowed towards Shi Yan.

Shi Yan looked at Fuxi, nodded slightly, then raised his hand to send out a streak of mysterious yellow Qi, which vanished into Fuxi's body.

"Fuxi of the Human Race, you invented fishing, hunting, and animal husbandry for the Human Race, reformed marriage, tamed wild beasts, created the Innate Bagua, averted misfortune and sought good fortune, benefited the Human Race, and led the Human Race to prosperity."

"Today, I bestow upon Fuxi the title of Ancestor Xi, placing you on par with the Three Ancestors of Human Race civilization, and you shall receive the blessing of the Human Race Luck."

Fuxi bowed, his expression excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor; Fuxi will certainly not fail the Heavenly Emperor's trust and will contribute wholeheartedly to the Human Race."

Seeing this, everyone shouted in unison again: "The Heavenly Emperor is wise! We pay our respects to Ancestor Xi!"

With Fuxi becoming Ancestor Xi, the Human Race added another layer of foundation.

The Heavenly Emperor had returned to his position; it was also time for the Master of the Earth Emperor to appear.

After the Heavenly Emperor's enthronement ceremony, Shi Yan released Xuan Du, who had been sealed inside the Chaos Pearl.

Xuan Du returned to the Primordial World and immediately felt the earth-shaking changes in the Luck of the Human Race.

Then, looking at the familiar yet strange environment around him, his heart was filled with confusion and astonishment: "Wasn't I just on my way to the Jiang Clan Tribe?"

His gaze turned to Shi Yan, puzzled: "Daoist Shi Yan..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Xuan Du felt the Dao rhyme on Shi Yan that far surpassed his own, along with the aura of being a leader of the Human Race, and his expression changed instantly.

He stood frozen on the spot, not knowing how to address the Shi Yan before him for a moment; finally, after thinking it over carefully, he bowed respectfully: "Senior Shi Yan, could you please tell this Junior the reason for these events?"

Shi Yan looked at the confused Xuan Du before him, a faint smile appearing on his face.

He told him everything about his achievement of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, sealing him, seizing the Supreme Treasure of Humanity, the kongtong seal, auctioning the position of Imperial Teacher, and his own achievement as the Heavenly Emperor.

"Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal... Fighting The Six Sages alone... Human Heavenly Emperor... Human Race independence?"

Xuan Du muttered and repeated what Shi Yan had just said, standing stunned on the spot, his face filled with unbelievable shock, his mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long time.

Xuan Du did not doubt the authenticity of Shi Yan's words.

If the claim of fighting The Six Sages alone had been spoken, it would have been instantly sensed by the Heavenly Dao Saints.

The fact that his Teacher and the others had no reaction meant that all of this was true.

Xuan Du subconsciously looked at Shi Yan, and looking at the Senior before him with Dao rhyme permeating his body, he involuntarily thought of his Teacher, the Taiqing Saint.

He compared the auras, expressions, and Dao rhymes of the two.

After a long while, he barely managed to steady his mind, performed a very standard Junior's salute, and said respectfully: "Human Race... Human Race Xuan Du, pays respects to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

At this moment, Xuan Du automatically blocked out the fact that the person before him had sealed him, as if this incident had never happened.

Shi Yan gave a soft hum, then said: "The Taiqing Saint won the position of Master of the Earth Emperor; you should go to the Jiang Clan Tribe now and take the Earth Emperor as your Disciple."

"This Junior understands!"

Xuan Du's tone was excited, then he bid farewell to Shi Yan and flew towards the Jiang Clan Tribe impatiently.

Shi Yan watched the figure leaving excitedly, his tone flat: "Although the Karma for teaching the Earth Emperor will be a little less, with the rise in the Luck of the Human Race, I believe Xuan Du can still break through to the Quasi-Saint level."

The Karma obtained by the Master of the Human Emperor is closely related to what he does.

The more one does, the more Luck and Karma one obtains.

Xuan Du did not take the Earth Emperor as his Disciple immediately; now that Shennong has embarked on the path of pharmacology under the guidance of others, the Karma Xuan Du can obtain is much less.
