Dragging Primordial Lord into the Mire: The Schemes of the Two from the West

The West.

Mount Sumeru.

Beneath the Bodhi Tree, amidst the Vast Illusory Light, two Dao Body sat quietly facing each other.

This place has been desolate for ages, with only the wondrous sound of Zen flowing through it. The two Saint, Surrounding Body and Zhunti, are so Jieyin the Dao Rhyme that they are one with this world, inseparable from it.

The sorrow on the face of the Daoist Jieyin seemed to deepen, while the Daoist Zhunti was deep in thought.

After a long silence, Zhunti broke it first.

"Senior brother, the time has come."

"From the Northern Sea, Maitreya has sent back a message that everything is ready."

"We can let them move now."

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Jieyin's sorrowful face deepened, and he sighed softly.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his junior brother.

"Junior brother."

"Is this plan... really going to continue?"

His voice carried a hint of hesitation.

"You saw the situation in Chaoge City."

"It is protected by Human Path Fortune Grand Array, whose power far exceeds our expectations."

"If you're not careful and your whereabouts are exposed, then..."

The Jieyin paused, his tone tinged with heaviness.

"The Karma involved are too great."

"At that time, let alone Daxing, even our current foundation will likely be damaged."

The Jieyin didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

Even Saint, though powerful, can have unimaginable consequences if tainted by the great Karma of Humanity Dao.

At that time, not only will the plan fail, but it will also cause a lot of trouble and create karma with that Human Emperor for Karma.

Zhunti's face showed no fear, but rather a resolute expression.

"Senior brother, the arrow is on the string, it must be released."

The plan must continue.

"How many years have we planned for this situation? How much effort have we put in?"

"With the fruit about to ripen and bear fruit, how can we give up now because of a minor setback?"

"If we hesitate and miss this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation because of such concerns, when will our Western Teachings ever truly prosper?"

The Zhunti spoke, the more agitated he became.

"What are a few risks compared to the Great Prosperity of the West!"

"Fortune and wealth are found in danger; so too is the Great Dao!"

"Without the determination to fight to the death, how can our Western Teachings ever hope to flourish!"

Seeing his junior brother's resolute expression, Jieyin sighed deeply.

He certainly understood this principle.

However, he was cautious by nature and always took all risks into account.

This time, the appearance of the Human Emperor was an entirely uncontrollable Variables.

Jieyin at his junior brother's resolute expression, Jieyin felt his determination to give everything for the Western Teachings.

The worries in my heart were gradually replaced by another emotion.

For the sake of Western Teachings, the junior disciple is always the one who rushes to the front.

For the sake of the Western Teachings, my junior brother has worked tirelessly, running around and scheming, bearing countless Karma and enduring countless scornful looks.

As his senior, how could I possibly hold him back at this crucial moment?

"Good!"

Jieyin finally made up his mind, a ruthless look appearing on his troubled face.

"Since Junior Brother has made his decision, then let's do as you say!"

He looked at Zhunti and solemnly made a promise.

"When the time comes, I'll accompany you and lend you a hand!"

Upon Zhunti this, Zhunti paused, turned his head, looked at his senior brother, and showed a touch of emotion on his face.

"Thank you, senior brother."

The Jieyin waved his hand, his expression solemn.

"We are brothers, so we should be of one mind and one heart. Why say such formal things?"

"Over the years, my junior brother has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Great Prosperity of the West, traveling far and wide, even going so far as to abandon his Saint status to engage in scheming and manipulative activities."

"As the senior disciple, how could I stand idly by and reap the benefits?"

He sighed again and looked towards the Sea of Fortune in the east.

"In the end, if it weren't for that Human Emperor setting up that damned Fortune Array..."

"We brothers shouldn't be so hesitant and timid in our actions."

"Saint, so revered, has been forced into such a predicament by a mere mortal. It's truly... alas."

"Now, we've done all the necessary preparations."

Whether this plan will succeed or not, I'm afraid it all depends on fate.

There was a deep sense of powerlessness in those words.

Even the most powerful Saint are not omniscient or omnipotent, especially during this Tribulation when the secrets of Heavenly Secrets Chaos and Variables are frequent.

Upon hearing the words "divine will," Zhunti smiled confidently.

"Senior brother, there's no need to be so pessimistic."

"That great formation has indeed affected our plans to some extent, but it's not entirely without a solution."

Jieyin hearing this, Jieyin's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked.

"Oh? What good plan do you have, junior brother?"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Zhunti's eyes, and that calculating look reappeared.

"It's indeed a bit of a stretch for the two of us to confuse that Human Emperor without alerting the great formation."

"But what if... we find another fellow Daoist to join forces with us?"

"At that time, with the three Saint joining forces to conceal the Heavenly Secrets, the chances of success will increase significantly!"

Jieyin slightly taken aback, but instantly understood his junior brother's meaning.

He spoke somewhat uncertainly.

"Junior brother, are you referring to... Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord?"

"Good!"

"It is indeed Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord!"

Zhunti clapped his hands and laughed.

"You understand me best, my senior brother!"

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord has lost face in Chaoge City this time. With his arrogant nature, how could he possibly swallow this insult?"

"Right now, he probably wants that Emperor Xin to pay the price even more than we do."

"If we simply go and mention our plan now, revealing even a little bit of it, he will surely be willing to lend us a hand and help us conceal our Heavenly Secrets!"

"Not to mention..."

Zhunti's smile deepened.

"Moreover, what we're about to do appears to be for the sake of my Western Teachings."

"But in terms of the results, it was entirely beneficial to his Clarify Sect and to the advancement of the entire Investiture of the Gods Tribulation."

"This move will hasten the downfall of the Shang Dynasty and intensify the bloodshed of the Tribulation."

"Whether from the perspective of settling a personal score or from the perspective of following the will of Heaven and conforming to the general trend, Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord Yuanshi has no reason to refuse."

Daoist Jieyin's face finally vanished completely, replaced by a relieved smile.

Junior brother's plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

This would not only increase the success rate of their own plan, but also completely drag the Clarify Sect and Yuanshi Tianzun into the mess.

Even if things are exposed, the Clarify Sect will be there to protect them, allowing the Western Teachings to extricate themselves with ease.

"Good!"

Jieyin nodded emphatically.

"Let's do as my junior brother says!"

"With Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, I refuse to believe that we, the three of us Saint, cannot accomplish this!"

The fact that three Saint joined forces to conceal the Heavenly Secrets is a feat unprecedented in the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Even if the Human Emperor's methods were incredibly strange and his formation incredibly profound, there was absolutely no way he could have discovered it!

Zhunti that his senior brother agreed, Zhunti immediately stopped hesitating.

"I will immediately send a message to Maitreya, instructing him to proceed according to plan."

"Good."

Jieyin with a sound of approval and closed his eyes again.

Then, the Saint Zhunti twitched his fingertips slightly, and a Golden Light pierced through the void, traversing hundreds of millions of miles, and flew towards the distant Northern Sea.

Northern Sea City.

Quiet Room of the city lord's mansion, Dao Body sat cross-legged. This person had a smile on his face and a solemn appearance. He was Maitreya, a disciple of the Western Teachings.

Suddenly, he sensed something and slowly opened his eyes.

A Golden Light emerged from the void and entered his brow.

It is Master's Imperial Edict.

Maitreya quietly digested the information in the Imperial Edict, his smile growing ever brighter.

"Master has given the order; the time has come."

He stood up, dusted himself off, and looked south towards Chaoge.

"Finally, we can begin."
