Primordial Lord's mad plan: shatter the Investiture of the Gods and drive Tongtian into a dead end too!

Mount Shouyang, Eight Views Palace.

The Dao Rhyme of Pure and Inactive remain unchanged throughout history.

The Taiqing Saint sat upright on Cushion, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were contemplating the Great Dao, or perhaps he was dozing.

A flash of clear light appeared, and the figure of Yuanshi Tianzun appeared inside the palace.

The Taiqing Saint slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Primordial Lord One before him whose aura was icy and whose killing intent was almost tangible, and simply sighed softly.

"Second Younger Brother."

"You've come."

"Eldest Brother." Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly as a form of greeting.

Taiqing looked at him and sighed softly.

"Your heart is filled with too much murderous intent, which hinders your Dao Path."

Upon hearing the words "the Dao Path," a slight, intense fluctuation finally appeared on the numb face of the Yuanshi Tianzun.

"The Dao Path?"

He let out a cold laugh, his voice full of self-mockery.

"My Dao Lineage has already been destroyed by that Tongtian, so what Dao Path is there left to speak of!"

"Eldest Brother!" Yuanshi Tianzun stared at Taiqing, "Please help me! Suppress Tongtian!"

Upon hearing this, Taiqing simply sighed softly.

"Under the Tribulation, everything is predetermined, so why are you so attached to it?"

"As long as Yun Zhongzi is alive, the Dao Lineage of your Clarify Sect has not been completely severed."

"What's wrong with you passing on your Daoist skills to him, thus continuing the Dao Lineage?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun laughed, his laughter filled with endless mockery and sorrow.

"Pass it on to Yun Zhongzi?"

"Eldest Brother, you make it sound so easy! How much effort did I put into cultivating the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect?"

"Now not one is left; they have all become True Spirit on the list!"

How can you expect me to accept this? How can I let go of my attachment?

"Moreover, this matter is no longer just a matter for me and my sect alone!"

"Tongtian defies the will of Heaven by assisting the Great Shang Dynasty; this is tantamount to defying the mandate of Heaven!"

"As Saint, we have a duty to set things right and follow the will of Heaven!"

The Taiqing Saint remained silent.

The Yuanshi Tianzun continued speaking, his voice carrying a seductive power.

"Moreover, that Di Xin is a reincarnation of a martial artist!"

The Taiqing Taiqing's eyelids twitched slightly, but he still did not speak.

The Yuanshi Tianzun took in his reaction and continued speaking.

"That Wu was reincarnated Human Emperor, blessed with the Fortune of the Human Clan; we Saint truly cannot do anything to him."

"But once his status as the Human Emperor is stripped, he will no longer be the Human Emperor, but merely an ordinary reincarnated being."

"Suppressing him will be a piece of cake!"

The gaze of the Yuanshi Tianzun was fixed on the Taiqing Saint.

"What martial arts represents, Eldest Brother, you should know better than I do."

"Eldest Brother, you've always wanted to attain Humanity Dao, but you've never had the chance."

"Now, the opportunity is right in front of us!"

"As long as we suppress him, we'll have the opportunity to use him to taint Humanity Dao!"

"At that time, Eldest Brother, your path may take you to an even greater level!"

Boom!

The once undisturbed mind of the Taiqing Saint was finally stirred by a clear ripple.

Humanity Dao.

The Humanity Dao exists alongside the Heavenly Dao and the Way of Earthly Dao, and is mysterious and unpredictable.

It was a field he had always wanted to explore, but could never reach.

If we could take this opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of Humanity Dao...

The Taiqing Saint remained silent.

After a long while, he slowly nodded.

"Can."

"I will join forces with you this once, in accordance with destiny."

A slight smile finally appeared on Yuanshi Tianzun's icy face, but the smile was devoid of any warmth.

"Eldest Brother, besides that, there's one more thing I need your help with."

The Taiqing Saint asked, "What is it?"

The Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer immediately, but only said...

"I implore you, Eldest Brother, to join forces with me to conceal the Heavenly Secrets of this place."

Although the Taiqing Saint was puzzled, he still gently waved the Fly whisk in his hand.

A Taiqing and mysterious Daoist Dao Rhyme instantly spread out, completely enveloping the entire Eight Views Palace and isolating it from all internal and external detection.

After doing all this, he looked at Primordial Lord again.

"Now you can tell me."

Yuanshi Tianzun then slowly spoke.

"I hope my Eldest Brother can help me... shatter the Investiture of the Gods!"

What?!

The Taiqing Saint suddenly stood up, and for the first time, extreme shock appeared in his unchanging eyes.

"You're insane!"

"This was bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, a divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao, and you actually intend to shatter it?"

"Aren't you afraid that the Dao Ancestor will unleash his thunderous wrath, casting you into Chaos, never to rise again?"

Yuanshi Tianzun, however, remained unusually calm.

"I'm not crazy."

"Our Clarify Sect's Dao Lineage has been extinguished; what difference is there between us and being cast into Chaos?"

"As long as the Investiture of the Gods is shattered, the True Spirit of my disciples will be freed and Reincarnation, and my Clarify Sect will still have hope of continuing its Dao Lineage!"

"I beg your help, Eldest Brother!"

Taiqing stared intently at him for a long time before slowly sitting down and shaking her head.

"No! This is far too risky. I will never go crazy with you!"

"Eldest Brother, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."

Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to have anticipated his reaction and calmly offered his own bargaining chip.

"Once it's done, Wu is yours."

I will never touch it.

"Moreover, those the Two from the West also covet martial arts."

"Only by joining forces can we ensure absolute success."

"If my Eldest Brother is unwilling, I may go and seek cooperation with those the Two from the West."

"You..." Taiqing's breathing became disordered.

He stared intently at Primordial Lord, but in the end, he suppressed his impulse and slowly sat down.

Even so, if the two of us join forces, we might not be able to shatter the Investiture of the Gods.

"And what about Tongtian?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked quietly.

The Taiqing Saint was taken aback, then sneered.

"Tongtian? He'll help you shatter the Investiture of the Gods and release your disciples?"

"He will."

A cruel smile appeared on Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

"As long as I send all his disciples, one by one, onto the Investiture of the Gods!"

"By then, he won't have a choice but to agree!"

"If he refuses, then I will slaughter him until there is not a single disciple left in his Interception Sect!"

The Taiqing Saint fell completely silent.

This plan is too crazy and too vicious.

This is to force Tongtian to stand on their side.

"And those two in the West," Yuanshi Tianzun added.

"They were determined to convert the Jie Sect Disciple and promote the prosperity of the West."

"If they refuse to lend a hand, I will slaughter all the disciples of Tongtian Sect right before their eyes! So that not a single one of them can be converted!"

This is no longer part of the plan.

This is a blatant Open Scheme, a complete kidnapping!

A mad plan that included even these Saint in its calculations.

He used everyone's interests to force everyone to do this monstrous thing with him.

After a long while, the Taiqing Saint sighed.

I can agree to that.

"But you must grant me one request."

"Please speak, Eldest Brother."

"Leave a sliver of hope for the Tongtian Dao Lineage; do not annihilate them completely."

A hint of reluctance flashed across Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

He wished he could grind the entire Interception Sect to dust and scatter their ashes.

But seeing the unwavering determination in Taiqing's eyes, he finally suppressed his murderous intent and slowly nodded.

"Okay, I promise."

Having reached an agreement, Yuanshi Tianzun felt greatly relieved, yet he couldn't help but sigh.

"If Nuwa could also intervene, and we, the Six Sages, were to combine our power to break the Investiture of the Gods, then there would be no chance of failure."

The Taiqing Saint shook his head.

"This Tribulation has nothing to do with her; she won't interfere."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun did not refute it.

"Eldest Brother, let's discuss the details then..."

The voice of the Yuanshi Tianzun slowly echoed within the Eight Views Palace, which was completely shrouded in Heavenly Secrets.
