Sending the Chan Sect Disciples onto the Investiture

Instead of answering directly, Zhou Ming asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know what you, Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, are most worried about during this Tribulation?"

Without hesitation, the Tongtian Sect Master blurted out.

What else could it be?

"Naturally, he's worried about his precious disciples making it onto the Investiture of the Gods."

As he said this, there was a subtle hint of sarcasm in his voice.

That One second elder brother's protective nature was well-known throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Zhou Ming nodded with a smile, affirming his statement.

"Good."

"Then, fellow Daoist, think it over again. What if Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord's disciple really made it onto the Investiture of the Gods?"

What do you think he will do?

This question made the Tongtian Sect Master ponder.

Based on his understanding of Primordial Lord, that guy valued his disciples extremely highly and was extremely protective of them.

If any of the Twelve Golden Immortals truly deserve to be listed...

The Tongtian Sect Master could almost picture Yuanshi Tianzun's Primordial Lord face.

He pondered for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.

How to do it?

"Given my That One brother's temperament, he probably wants to tear that Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods up!"

He would never stand idly by and watch his disciple, whom he had painstakingly nurtured, perish.

"The True Spirit is bound by the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, and from now on will obey the commands of the Heavenly Court."

Zhou Ming's smile deepened.

"Even if Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord doesn't tear up the Investiture of the Gods, he will definitely try every possible means."

"To prevent the True Spirit of his disciples from being truly listed and controlled."

"After all, the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip are now under the control of the Clarify Sect."

"If he wanted to manipulate things or find loopholes, it would be incredibly easy for him."

The Tongtian Sect Master was not a fool; on the contrary, he was extremely intelligent. However, he was straightforward and disliked scheming, preferring to resolve everything with his sword.

At this moment, Zhou Ming pointed at him, and his originally Chaos thoughts were instantly cleaved open by a bright light!

He understood instantly.

I understand completely now!

So this is the real solution to break the deadlock!

The way to break the deadlock is not to passively resist the schemes of the Clarify Sect, the Western Teachings, or even the Heavenly Dao.

Instead, we should take the initiative and drag the Clarify Sect and Primordial Lord down into this quagmire of no return!

Primordial Lord wanted his Jie Sect Disciple to be listed on the list, thereby protecting his disciples from the Clarify Sect.

Alright!

I'll first send your disciple from the Clarify Sect to the list!

Wasn't Primordial Lord one who cherished his disciples the most?

Alright!

I, this humble Daoist, will just have to see what happens when his beloved disciples die one by one, their True Spirit heading straight for the Investiture of the Gods.

How can he, as the master, possibly sit still?

At that time, in order to protect his disciples, Primordial Lord will inevitably try every means to break the rules of the Investiture of the Gods.

The entire course of this Tribulation will be full of Variables!

And this was precisely his Interception Sect's only glimmer of hope!

Zhou Ming, observing the constantly changing expressions on the Tongtian Sect Master's face, knew that he had figured out the key to it.

So he picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then slowly asked.

"So, fellow Daoist, do you now understand what to do?"

The Tongtian Sect Master felt a sudden clarity dawn before him, and all his previous confusion vanished in that instant.

"This humble Daoist... understands!"

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Daoist!"

The Tongtian Sect Master rose again and bowed deeply to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming accepted the bow without hesitation and then waved his hand.

"There's one thing you still need to pay special attention to, fellow Daoist."

The Tongtian Sect Master immediately raised his head, his expression focused.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Zhou Ming's expression also became more serious.

"During the Tribulation, the secrets of Heavenly Secrets are not revealed, and chaos reigns."

"If another Saint were to intervene, deliberately concealing the Heavenly Secrets."

"Then even if they were both Saint, they would find it difficult to deduce exactly what happened."

"Your disciple possesses profound Magic Power and numerous Magic Treasure."

"If we were to confront them head-on in a fair and square battle, we would have no fear of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect."

"But the more this is the case, the more we must guard against those shady schemes and plots."

"On the battlefield, in life-or-death battles, it's not just about who has higher Magic Power or stronger Magic Treasure."

These words caused the Tongtian Sect Master to fall into deep thought.

He thought of his disciples.

Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Sanxiao... aren't they all Supernatural Power powerful and possess extraordinary Magic Power?

However, their personalities mostly followed their own nature; they were forthright and generous, disdained scheming and trickery, and preferred to let their abilities speak for themselves.

If the Chan Sect Disciple were to confront them head-on, they would naturally not be afraid.

But what if the other party uses some insidious scheme to stab you in the back...?

His own disciples are likely to suffer a great loss!

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I will strictly instruct my disciples to take extra precautions in this matter."

The Tongtian Sect Master nodded solemnly, keeping these words firmly in mind.

Zhou Ming looked at him and continued.

"There's one more thing, and it's the most important one."

"If any Chan Sect Disciple are killed or injured, will Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord be enraged?"

"Disregarding the dignity of Saint, he personally intervened to deal with your disciple."

Zhou Ming was certain that if the Chan Sect Disciple had truly died at the hands of the Jie Sect Disciple...

The Yuanshi Tianzun will surely be furious and personally take action.

They even went further.

After all, in the original course of events, the Sanxiao merely removed the Three Flowers on the Crown the Twelve Golden Immortals ' heads and the Five Qi in the Chest, without harming their lives.

The Yuanshi Tianzun then personally intervened, bullying the weak and mercilessly sending them to the Investiture of the Gods.

If this time, the Jie Sect Disciple of the Jie Sect truly kill Golden Immortal from the Clarify Sect on the battlefield...

Primordial Lord Yuanshi's extremely protective nature, it's unlikely he would simply send them to the list.

To have their souls scattered and their True Spirit completely annihilated is considered a sign of the Yuanshi Tianzun Beginning showing a sliver of "mercy."

The Tongtian Sect Master fell silent upon hearing Zhou Ming's words.

He knew that Zhou Ming's reminder was by no means unfounded.

Knowing That One second brother as he did, he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing!

To save face for the Clarify Sect, and for the sake of his disciples, he would do anything!

This is something we must be wary of!

After a long while, the Tongtian Sect Master slowly exhaled a breath of stale Turbid Qi.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."

"I will take note of this matter."

Zhou Ming nodded calmly.

"It's good that you understand, fellow Daoist."

He has already given the reminders that needed to be given.

The specific countermeasures are something Tongtian needs to devise himself.

Some paths, he has to walk himself in the end.

I've made enough myself.

"If you wish to break this deadlock, the only way is to completely drag the Clarify Sect into this mess."

"As for whether it will ultimately succeed, that depends on how capable your That One brother is."

Zhou Ming's words carried a subtle hint of teasing.

The more Primordial Lord protects his own and the more impatient he becomes, the greater his chances of Tongtian.

Upon hearing this, even the usually tense Tongtian Sect Master managed a rare, bitter smile.

yes.

No matter how well you plan, in the end it all depends on whether Primordial Lord cooperates.

However, with the guidance of Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming today, he is no longer the powerless Saint was completely clueless and could only sit and wait for the destruction of the Interception Sect.

He now had a direction and room to maneuver.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts today, fellow Daoist."

"I will now return and carefully plan this matter."

Having asked all the questions and received all the answers he needed to, the Tongtian Sect Master did not linger any longer.

He bowed once more to Zhou Ming and Houtu as a farewell.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, Fellow Daoist Houtu, this humble Daoist takes his leave."

Zhou Ming nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, please take care."

After Tongtian left, Houtu looked at Zhou Ming and asked softly.

"Elder Brother, do you think... he can succeed?"

Zhou Ming put down his teacup, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"Whether it will succeed, I don't know."

"But I know what's coming next is going to be amazing."

"Furthermore, whether Tongtian succeeds or not is not important; it will have little impact on the final outcome of the Tribulation."
