The West's Scheme

The West, Mount Sumeru.

Under the Bodhi Tree.

The two Saint, Jieyin and Zhunti, sat facing each other, both with a hint of sorrow on their faces.

Saint Zhunti sighed deeply, breaking the silence first.

"Senior brother!"

"The strength of our Humanity Dao lineage within the Human Clan has now been largely established."

"If things continue to develop in this orderly manner, it's probably just wishful thinking for us fellow disciples to try and seize that Humanity Dao Authority... it's simply impossible."

His voice was filled with resentment.

Upon Saint Jieyin's face showed even more sorrow.

He was well aware of this principle.

"The Interception Sect is powerful, Tongtian Sect Master, teaches without discrimination; its Dao Lineage have already taken deep root among the Human Clan."

What can we do?

His words were filled with helplessness.

Their Western Teachings have too shallow a foundation and insufficient depth, and in competition with other traditions of Humanity Dao, they are at a disadvantage in every aspect.

"So, we can't wait any longer!"

"We must take the initiative and break this deadlock!"

Jieyin hearing this, Jieyin looked at Zhunti, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Junior brother, do you mean... to deal with the Interception Sect?"

That was his first reaction.

After all, among the Human Clan today, the Interception Sect has the strongest Dao Lineage and the most prestige.

If anyone is most likely to be the first to seize Humanity Dao Authority, it would undoubtedly be Tongtian.

But as soon as he said it, he shook his head.

"No, no."

"Although the Three Pure Ones have separated, they ultimately share the same origin, and their bond remains."

"If we rashly attack Tongtian, we risk provoking a joint counterattack from Taiqing and Primordial Lord."

"At that time, our Western Teachings will not only gain no advantage, but may even bring trouble upon itself, resulting in more harm than good!"

However, Zhunti gently shook his head.

"No!"

"Senior brother, quite the opposite. Although the Interception Sect is powerful, it is actually the easiest to deal with."

Upon hearing Jieyin, Jieyin looked slightly puzzled.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhunti's lips.

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhunti's lips.

"Senior brother, think about it, how important is the Humanity Dao Authority?"

"This is an unparalleled authority comparable to the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao!"

"The opportunities contained within are enough to allow Saint to advance further!"

"But this power can only be held by one Saint."

"Tongtian's Interception Sect is currently the most powerful sect among the Human Clan. If he wants to seize Humanity Dao Authority, he certainly has the upper hand."

"But..."

"Would Taiqing and Primordial Lord just stand by and watch him, Tongtian, reap this immense benefit?"

Jieyin's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly understood what Zhunti meant.

"Won't."

He said it with absolute certainty.

"Taiqing Non-action, but that doesn't mean he will give up."

"Primordial Lord is arrogant and would never tolerate his junior brother, whom he has always looked down upon, climbing over his head."

Zhunti clapped his hands and smiled.

That's exactly right!

"Therefore, we need not worry too much about the matter of the Interception Sect."

"When the time is right, we won't even need to lift a finger; Primordial Lord and Taiqing will solve this biggest problem for us."

"At that time, we only need to go with the flow at the crucial moment."

"With just a little effort, the Interception Sect... could be eliminated!"

Jieyin listened to Zhunti's analysis, he nodded slowly, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

My junior brother's words make sense.

The Three Pure Ones states were not a monolithic entity, especially when faced with such enormous interests.

He looked at Zhunti again.

"Since it's not the Interception Sect, then junior brother, you mean...?"

A cold glint flashed in Zhunti's eyes.

"Senior brother, don't you think the Heavenly Court... is a bit of an eyesore?"

Jieyin frowned slightly.

Heavenly Court?

Haotian and Yaochi?

Zhunti sneered.

"The Humanity Dao Authority is an opportunity that we Saint must contend for."

"Haotian and Yaochi were merely two attendants under the Dao Ancestor back then."

"Having obtained the position of Heavenly Emperor by chance, do you really think you can sit on equal footing with us?"

"They dare to interfere in this Humanity Dao Authority?"

Zhunti's words were filled with disdain for Haotian.

This was not just his opinion, but the general view of all the old-established Innate Divine in the Primordial Wilderness regarding Haotian.

He was born a child and only rose to a high position through the appointment of the Dao Ancestor; his virtue was not worthy of his position.

Normally, people don't hold it against him because of the Dao Ancestor.

But now, he dares to extend his hand to the Humanity Dao Authority, which violates the bottom line of all Saint.

A cold look appeared on the Jieyin's face.

"Indeed, Haotian's actions are somewhat presumptuous and reckless."

Zhunti continued.

"Therefore, I'm going to give Haotian a warning first."

"Make him understand his place, and know what he can and cannot touch."

"At the same time, let's take this opportunity to stir up the waters of the Human Clan even more!"

"Only when this pool of water is completely muddied will our Western Teachings's opportunity arrive!"

"No!"

Jieyin immediately voiced his opposition.

"Junior brother, the situation of the Human Clan has only just stabilized. The Rule of the Five Emperors have achieved perfect Merit, and their Fortune is at its peak."

"If we were to act rashly now and disrupt the balance, we would surely become the target of everyone's criticism!"

"Will this provoke resentment and targeting from other Saint and Human Clan?"

"Don't worry, senior brother."

Zhunti.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I've already come up with a foolproof plan for this."

"We don't need to take direct action."

"We only need to provide subtle guidance from the shadows, and someone will naturally take care of everything else for us."

"Oh? Who would help us?"

Zhunti a mysterious smile.

"Primordial Lord."

"Primordial Lord?" Jieyin greatly surprised.

How could he possibly help us?

Of all the Saint, Yuanshi Tianzun was the most arrogant.

They also looked down on the Two from the West the most, believing they were not worthy of being compared to their Three Pure Ones.

Asking him to help Western Teachings? That's utterly a pipe dream.

Zhunti's smile deepened.

"Senior brother, Primordial Lord isn't helping us; he's helping himself."

Jieyin, puzzled.

"Help him himself?"

"What do you mean by that, junior brother?"

Zhunti laughed.

"Senior brother, have you forgotten?"

"Back when the Clarify Sect was assisting Human Emperor Xuanyuan, Haotian sent the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens Maiden to the mortal realm to help them."

There was a hint of amusement in Zhunti's voice.

Haotian believed that he was helping Xuanyuan and doing a favor for the Clarify Sect.

"But Primordial Lord will only think that Haotian is taking advantage of the situation and trying to steal the Merit of his Clarify Sect's assistance to the Human Emperor!"

"It's a silent mockery, telling all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness..."

"His Clarify Sect is incompetent; he can't even handle something as trivial as assisting the Human Emperor, and he needs the Heavenly Court's help!"

"Given Primordial Lord's temperament, do you think he can swallow this insult?"

"He Primordial Lord have remembered this debt long ago."

"It's just that there hasn't been a suitable opportunity to settle things properly with Haotian!"

"What we need to do now is create such an opportunity for Primordial Lord!"

Upon hearing these words, Jieyin's eyes instantly shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

"Brilliant! Junior brother! This plan is brilliant!"

"Excellent! Excellent!"

"Primordial Lord Shi was extremely arrogant and vindictive!"

"He will never let go of any opportunity to humiliate Haotian!"

"If we give him a pretext, he'll definitely seize the opportunity to settle scores with Haotian!"

"At that time, the conflict between the Clarify Sect and the Heavenly Court will definitely escalate completely!"

Jieyin became more and more excited as he spoke, and he looked at Zhunti.

"Junior brother, what are you planning to do?"
