So far, there were only two Holy Thrones left, but there were still two people who had not tried to sit down. They were Emperor Ling and Wan Minsheng.
With the opportunity in front of them, they had to try even if they knew the chances were slim.
Emperor Ling took a deep breath and walked over. As soon as he sat down, the golden light glowed. Then … he could no longer sit down.
Emperor Ling had expected this result, so he was not disappointed. With a wry smile, he stood up and sat down among those who did not have a futon.
Wan Minsheng also wanted to follow. With so many experts in front of him having their halberds broken, Elder Wan felt that he was just a junior, so he didn't want to embarrass himself.
Yuanshi opened his eyes and said, "Now …"
Zuo Xiaoduo interrupted in surprise, "Everyone here has tried. Elder Wan, since you are here, why don't you sit down and try?"
Wan Minsheng's face froze.
He was forced to come here by Emperor Ling. The Spirit Clan was not good at fighting. Since ancient times, there had been few outstanding experts. Wan Minsheng, who could reach the Half-saint level, was one of the most outstanding figures in the Spirit Clan in the past millions of years.
Emperor Ling forced him to come here to show his claws and teeth to the other clans. "Don't think that the Spirit Clan is easy to bully. Look, there are descendants of the Spirit Clan who have reached the Half-saint level. If you want to touch the Spirit Clan, you should think twice."
It would be best if the other clans were afraid of the Spirit Clan. In this era of great competition, if the Spirit Clan did not have enough strength, it would become the target of public criticism. It was necessary to show its strength.
But neither Emperor Ling nor Elder Wan had any intention of getting the Holy Thrones. Even Emperor Ling's attempt was behind the others. It was just a fluke.
Now that even the Soul Emperor couldn't sit on it, Elder Wan naturally decided to sit on the Soul Emperor's side. How could he have a seat on the praying mat? It was better to stop daydreaming.
However, at this moment, Zuo Xiaoduo's shout made them feel really awkward.
"How … how can I, this …"
Wan Minsheng's face was full of embarrassment. However, Zuo Xiaoduo's words were out of goodwill. Moreover, he was pushing the opportunity to Wan Minsheng.
A wisp of thought flashed across Tongtian's face, and he said in a low voice, "Since he's here, it means that we're fated. There's no harm in trying."
Hearing Tongtian's words, Wan Minsheng politely and cautiously said, "That's it. I … dare you."
Then, he quietly came to the side of the eighth praying mat and sat down cautiously.
Golden light flickered, and his reaction was no different from the others before.
Just as everyone thought that Wan Minsheng would return empty-handed, a mysterious yellow light surged from Wan Minsheng's body, clashing with the golden light. In less than three seconds, the golden light dimmed and fused into Wan Minsheng's body.
Then, Wan Minsheng calmly sat down on the eighth Sacred Seat.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven and Earth looked up and said softly, "The first Sun Flower between heaven and earth is extraordinary. Moreover, it will be endowed with immeasurable merit. It is only natural that it is worthy of its position."
Tongtian and the others who had already sat down didn't have any special reaction, but those who couldn't sit down on the other side all widened their eyes!
This was especially true for the Spirit Emperor. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, as if they were about to shoot out of their sockets!
At this moment, the Spirit Emperor's feelings couldn't be described with words.
There was even a sense of confusion, as if he was in a dream.
'Who am I? Where am I?'
'How did this happen?'
'I didn't sit on it myself, but the juniors from my clan did!'
'Even if Wan Minsheng is a rising star of my clan, a rare talent, and has already reached the Half-Sage realm … that's a Sage position!'
'How did it end up with him?'
'Who do you think I can reason with?'
Wan Minsheng sat on the praying mat, but he felt uncomfortable all over.
But then, the Dao aura and comprehension that continuously surged into his body occupied his mind.
"Today, everyone has gathered here because of Heaven's Perception. I believe you all understand the reason."
The Primeval Lord of Heaven said calmly, "This is the Immeasurable Tribulation, and also the Clear Heavenly Tribulation. Everyone, all the clans are in the tribulation."
"After the Western Sect reopened the heaven and earth, they went against the tribulation, and the heavens showed signs of going against the heavens …"
"Now, the tribulation has become imperative, which means … they have to go through the tribulation. All the living beings of the various clans are in the tribulation, and no one can avoid it."
The Primeval Lord of Heaven's tone was calm, but the resentment in it could be heard by everyone present.
"As Sages, we were fine.
However, you reopened the heaven and earth in the tribulation, and went against the heavens, causing the heavens to go against the heavens, and even dragged us in. "
"Do you have nothing better to do?"
When everyone heard this, they were all dissatisfied in their hearts.
"Although you lost your Sage position, you gained immeasurable merit for the Western Sect by starting the tribulation. This is definitely not a loss, but what about us?"
"Why should we be dragged into the tribulation by you?"
"Originally, even if it was a tribulation, it was still only the living beings of the various clans and the disciples of the sect who participated in the tribulation. However, there was an additional heavens that went against the heavens, and it easily involved the lives and deaths of the various clans …"
"This matter is simply immoral."
"After the tribulation, all the clans will be united." The Primeval Lord of Heaven said faintly, "Since this matter involves the lives and deaths of the various clans, it is inevitable that the Sages will end up in the end."
"But if it really reaches that stage, I'm afraid …"
The Primeval Lord of Heaven felt really tired. "It's also because of this that the tribulation sensed it and asked us to come here for a while. It's also … the privilege of the strong, and it's also an exception. "
"But this time, it's also the only chance."
Previously, the Dao Ancestor was in charge of the overall situation, and there was already a set of rules that could be followed. This time, when the tribulation began again, he originally thought that even if the Dao Ancestor was not in charge, there would still be the Eldest Senior Brother to take charge. Now, it seemed that … it was his turn to control the situation.
"I have no experience …"
"Moreover, the tribulation this time is more ferocious than the previous ones … It's such a big matter …"
"Previously, even if they fought with each other, they had to take into account the relationship between the clans and leave some leeway to preserve a chance of survival!"
"But now … life and death are at every turn!"
"But who would be willing to see their own clan destroyed?"
"Cundi, what have you done!" Tongtian was furious.
"Senior Brother, don't be angry. Since the establishment of the Western Sect, this is the only thing that we have gained some benefits from."
Cundi was very handsome and had an outstanding bearing. He smiled warmly and said, "I have paid the price of a Saint's position. Isn't that enough?"
"Bullsh * t!"
Tongtian was furious. "Do you dare to say that from the past until now, you have not considered the gains and losses as your priority?"
"Never!"
Cundi spoke resolutely and decisively.
Tongtian's sword aura overflowed and was about to erupt. "Back then, the God-Conferment Tribulation was a conflict between the three sects of the Eastern Land. What does it have to do with you? Why did it become the prosperity of the Western Sect after all this? You caused trouble everywhere, fanned the flames, and reaped benefits wantonly.
In the beginning, you sought benefits and avoided harm, and you were successful in every endeavor. Could it be that you were wronged because you said that you considered the gains and losses first? "
Cundi's face was bitter.
"Senior Brother, how long are you going to hide it?"
Cundi looked at Yuanshi helplessly.
Yuanshi snorted and put on a straight face as if nothing had happened. He did not say a word and was extremely calm.
Jie Yin sighed and said, "Today, Senior Brother Shangqing mentioned the past with certainty. However, the truth is not something that can be explained with just a few words. Why don't we take advantage of today to make it clear and let the mighty figures of the various races here make a decision? Is it our Western Sect that took advantage of the situation or has it been a scapegoat for many years!"
Tongtian sneered, "Oh? I know that the Western Sect has a silver tongue and golden lotuses. I want to hear how you, the Western Sect Master, can reverse the past with a few words. "
"The God-Conferment Tribulation seems to be the Western Sect that has taken advantage of us and obtained manpower. In the future, we will spread the Eastern Land and lay the groundwork for the prosperity of the Western Sect. However, there are too many schemes involved. "
"There are so many that it is impossible to count."
Jie Yin sighed softly. "If not, why would my Junior Brother make such a sacrifice today?"
Tongtian said angrily, "In the end, it's still just an excuse. You Senior Brothers can cover up everything by saying that you have sacrificed. Is this what you mean by being the scapegoat? Who are you trying to fool? Why don't I believe it? Could it be that the Western Sect has been wronged? "
Jie Yin's expression did not change. He said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother is right. We have indeed been wronged."
"Hahaha …"
Tongtian laughed, "Then tell me about your grievances. Where is it? Why don't you tell me in detail?"
"When the God-Conferment Tribulation started, the Western Sect was just established. There was no one, no power, and no name. Although we knew that the God-Conferment Tribulation was not caused by the Western Sect and that the three sects signed the God-Conferment List and everything had nothing to do with us, for the future of the Western Sect, we could only throw away our skin and join in to seek opportunities to strengthen the Western Sect. "
"All of you here are discerning people. You all know the reason. Except for the moment of war and chaos, how can we, the Western Sect, have any chance when the three sects are standing side by side? When the three sects finish their investiture and the general trend is established, there will be no chance for us, the Western Sect, to preach to the Eastern Land."
"It's true that we have nothing to do with the God-Conferment Tribulation of the three sects. However, it's wrong to say that we only joined to cause trouble. At that time, you didn't know about the situation. Could it be that your two senior brothers didn't know? "
Jie Yin looked helpless. "At that time, if we said that we joined on our own accord, it would be better to say that we were forced to enter the tribulation."
"If Senior Brother Jie Yin and I were not Saints, we might have died in the God-Conferment Tribulation that day!"
"If we don't enter, we will never be able to prosper. When we enter, we will help you bear the karma."
"However, we were in the situation at that time. We were just blinded."
"Our original intention was to recruit some disciples when the Jie Sect was weak and their luck had plummeted. We were already satisfied. Although we were suspected of taking advantage of the situation, at that time, we might have saved the lives of the disciples of the Jie Sect from another level …"
Hearing that, the Grandmaster of Heaven suddenly stood up. "The Jie Sect is weak? Their luck has plummeted? Senior Brother Jie Yin, what you said, haha … "
Jie Yin smiled bitterly. "Senior Brother, have you been living in resentment all these years? Didn't you think about it carefully? Back then, the world was fine. Why did you sign the God roll? Just to help the Heavenly Courts? Just to gather the people on the Investiture of the Gods? "
"What do you mean by the twelve Golden Immortals have not broken through to the Zenith Heaven for a thousand years and caused the tribulation? What kind of ridiculous reason is that? How can the tribulation be triggered by Golden Immortals? Senior Brother Primordial Beginning, do you really want me to explain the grudges between the three of you? "
The Primordial Beginning closed his eyes and said, "Tell me."
