Yuanshi's Scheme

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi sat on the high platform, looking down at the disciples with a solemn expression.

"Investiture of the Gods Calamity, it's about to start." Yuanshi spoke slowly, with a heavy voice, "Dao Ancestor has something to say. In this calamity, everyone depends on their ability and fate. My disciples, Chan Sect, are also in the calamity."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Guangchengzi took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Master, how should we deal with ourselves?"

A glint flashed in Yuanshi's eyes. "Although the calamity is severe, Heavenly Dao leaves a glimmer of hope. You can accept disciples and teach the Dharma, and let your disciples take over the calamity as your teacher."

"Accepting a disciple to do the robbery?"

Everyone looked at each other.

True Lord Taiyi frowned. "Master, is this method feasible?"

Yuanshi said calmly, "Of course, I got this from my calculations."

He paused and continued, "The person who opened Investiture of the Gods is responsible for Sign of the Flying Bear. If you can take this person under your sect, you can also give me Chan Sect an advantage."

Everyone was stunned and immediately showed joy.

"Master is wise!" Chijingzi praised.

Randeng's eyes flashed with strange color, but he said nothing.

He had a vague feeling that this method might not be as simple as Yuanshi said.

In the crowd, Chiting lowered his head, his heart full of bitterness.

Taking on a disciple to replace the calamity sounds like a good idea.

But now he is only Mid Golden Immortal, and his cultivation level is at the bottom among the Chan Sect. He can barely protect himself, so how can he be qualified to accept a disciple?

What's more, even if he accepts a disciple, measures the dangers, and the disciple dies, won't Karma backfire on him as the master?

He looked up at Yuanshi, but saw that the master's eyes did not fall on him at all, as if he, as a disciple, had always been dispensable.

"It's all gone." Yuanshi waved his hand, "Let's get ready."

All the disciples bowed and left.

After everyone left, Yuanshi stood up, stepped out of the Jade Void Palace, and walked towards Shouyang Mountain.

In the Eight Sceneries Palace, Taishang Laozi is facing Xuandu preaching the Dao. Sensing the arrival of Yuanshi, he stopped and asked Xuandu to step back.

"Big brother."

Yuanshi stepped into the hall and bowed.

Taishang nodded. "Come here for Investiture of the Gods?"

"Exactly." Yuanshi sat down on the futon, "I am deducing it alone, the secret is vague and difficult to determine. Please help me, senior brother, to deduce the secret."

Taishang was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Yuanshi, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I can't care anymore." Yuanshi gritted his teeth, "Tongtian that guy refused to sign the list, and together with the calamity, he will definitely target me Chan Sect. If I didn't make preparations in advance..."

He didn't go on, but Taishang understood.

Three Pure Ones breaks up, and Interception Sect is powerful. If the calamity comes, Tongtian will definitely take action on the Chan Sect first.

"That's all." Taishang sighed, "In that case, let's deduce it."

The two saints sat opposite each other, closing their eyes at the same time.

The power of the saint surges, and Dao Rhythm circulates within the Eight Sceneries Palace.

The power of the two saints worked together and began to deduce the secret of heaven.

For a moment, the light and shadow in the hall changed, and countless pictures flashed by - mountains and rivers, cities and villages, monks and mortals.

Primordial Wilderness The scene of billions of living creatures circulated rapidly in their minds.

Not long after, Taishang and Yuanshi opened their eyes at the same time.

"Found it." Taishang and Yuanshi spoke at the same time.

"There are actually two of them!"

Taishang said in a complicated tone, "One person is in Kunlun Mountain. The other person... is in the human race."

Yuanshi frowned, "How could this be?"

"Tianji shows that Sign of the Flying Bear was originally one body, but due to some variables, it split into two." Taishang looked at Yuanshi

Yuanshi's face changed.

Human race... that's Dao Venerable Lin Tian's territory.

Behind the human race, there are Nuwa, Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi and others.

If you go to the human race to rob people, you will offend digital Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal at the same time, and may even lead Dao Venerable Lin Tian to take action himself!

"The human race is immobile for now." Yuanshi said solemnly, "Go to Kunlun Mountain first."

Taishang nodded. "That's fine."

Yuanshi stood up to say goodbye and left Eight Sceneries Palace.

Kunlun Mountains is hundreds of millions of miles across, and the entire mountain range is vast and boundless. There are countless casual cultivators and spirits cultivating here.

Yuanshi Standing in the clouds, the saint's consciousness spreads out like a tide, covering the entire Kunlun.

He is looking for that special breath.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart.

"Found it."

Yuanshi's eyes flashed with joy, and in a flash, he was already above the valley.

In the valley, two figures were talking.

One is the humble disciple Chiting, Yuanshi.

The other one is tall and thin, with a sinister face, and is in the form of a black panther.

"Why does this Sign of the Flying Bear appear on a spirit monster that takes the form of a black panther?"

Yuanshi frowned, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Another person covered in fur and armor, born from moisture and turned into an egg!

What he despised most were these kinds of monsters.

When Tongtian recruited such disciples, he reprimanded him many times, thinking it was an insult to Mystic Gate's orthodoxy.

But now this Sign of the Flying Bear has fallen upon such a despicable person!

That's all, accept it first and then talk about it!

I saw Yuanshi stepping down on the clouds, the holy light shining brightly, illuminating the entire valley.

"Meet the Master!" Chiting quickly knelt down.

Shen Gongbao also hurriedly knelt down and worshiped. "Rogue cultivator Shen Gongbao, pay homage to the saint Yuanshi!"

Yuanshi landed on the ground, his eyes fell on Shen Gongbao, and he looked at it carefully.

"Your name is Shen Gongbao?" Yuanshi said slowly.

"Back to the saint, that's right." Shen Gongbao's voice trembled.

He is only True Immortal, and is as insignificant as an ant in front of the saint.

Yuanshi was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I see you here, you are destined to me. Are you willing to join me, Chan Sect, and become a registered disciple?"

Shen Gongbao was stunned.

Chiting was also stunned.

Named disciple?

Saint Yuanshi actually wants to accept Shen Gongbao as a registered disciple?

You know, Shen Gongbao is a black panther in the form of a black panther. It's impossible for Master to not see it?

Why exactly?

Shen Gongbao reacted, ecstasy surged into his heart, and he quickly kowtowed. "Disciple is willing! Disciple Shen Gongbao, pay homage to Master!"

Although he is only a named disciple, he is a disciple of a saint!

From now on, I have a backer and a inheritance, and I am no longer a helpless casual cultivator!

Chiting on the side also reacted and said with a smile, "Congratulations to fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao... Oh no, now it's time to call me junior brother Shen Gongbao."

Shen Gongbao laughed loudly and said with high spirits, "Thank you, senior brother! Thank you, master!"

Yuanshi looked at Shen Gongbao's ecstatic expression, but his heart felt cold.

Named disciples... are nothing more than chess pieces.

When the calamity is over, he doesn't care whether the chess piece is dead or alive.

What he cares about is only the qualifications for Sign of the Flying Bear and Investiture of the Gods.

"Now that you have entered my door, follow me back to the Jade Void Palace." Yuanshi said calmly.

"Yes!" Shen Gongbao quickly followed.

Chiting also stood up and followed him, but felt a little complicated.

Shen Gongbao became a registered disciple of the saint. Although it was a good thing, for some reason, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

The three people turned into streams of light and headed towards the Jade Void Palace.

Three Immortal Islands.

Lu Ya sat cross-legged on the ground, True Sun Fire burning all over his body, turning into a golden sun.

In the bright sun, the shadow of Three-legged Golden Crow spread its wings and screamed, and the sound shook the sky.

Suddenly, the sun's light surged!

"Boom!"

A vast and majestic aura rose into the sky, stirring up the storm in the East China Sea!

That is the smell of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, but it is completely different from the common Method of Severing the Three Corpses of Primordial Wilderness!

Lu Ya opened his eyes, the golden flames were beating in his eyes, and the sun disc mark between his eyebrows was shining brightly.

Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, done!

He felt the power rushing through his body, and infinite emotion surged in his heart.

This is the true way of cultivation!

With Prove Dao by Law, it goes straight to the source and is not as opportunistic as Slaying Three Corpses.

He understood it completely now.

Method of Severing the Three Corpses is a trap, Primordial Chaos Purple Qi is a shackle, everything is to control monk Primordial Wilderness firmly under Heavenly Dao and become the puppet of Heavenly Dao!

And the way of law taught by Dao Venerable Lin Tian is the real path to transcendence!

At this moment, Tongtian's voice came from outside the island. "Tongtian and his disciples, pay homage to Dao Venerable Lin Tian!"

Lu Ya restrained his breath and landed next to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian raised his hand and made a stroke on the island protection formation, and the formations separated. Tongtian led Duobao, Gui Ling, and Three Xiaos into the clouds.

"Greetings to Dao Venerable!" Tongtian and others bowed and saluted.

Lu Ya also saluted. "I've seen Saint Tongtian."

Tongtian looked at Lu Ya, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You... have broken through Primordial Origin Golden Immortal? Or is it Prove Dao by Law?"

Lu Ya nodded. "Thanks to Dao Venerable for the advice."

Tongtian was shocked.

Duobao and others also widened their eyes. They had remembered that Dao Venerable entered Daoism based on the law, and they were very curious.

Lin Tian motioned for everyone to sit down, and Little Deer served spiritual tea.

"Tongtian, has Interception Sect's matter been resolved?" Lin Tian took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Tongtian hummed and said, "Now Interception Sect has completed its rectification and eliminated the traitors, but Taishang, Yuanshi and the Two from the West have already joined forces."

"I, Interception Sect, am isolated and helpless, and I am here to ask Dao Venerable, what should I do next?"

Duobao, Gui Ling, Three Xiaos and others also looked at Lin Tian nervously.

Lin Tian put down the tea cup and said slowly, "This calamity is aimed at the disciples of the saints, not all Primordial Wilderness living beings, right?"

Tongtian nodded. "What Dao Venerable said is absolutely true. But Interception Sect..."

"If you are not a saint," Lin Tian interrupted him, "And you are not a disciple of Hongjun, then naturally you, Interception Sect, are not considered a disciple of Mystic Gate. Then naturally this calamity has nothing to do with you."

"What?!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Not a saint?

Not a disciple of Hongjun?

Tongtian eyes widened.

Yes!

Why didn't he think of that!

The calamity is aimed at the disciples of the saint Mystic Gate and the Hongjun lineage!

If he is not a saint, if Interception Sect breaks away from Mystic Gate...

"But Dao Venerable!" Duobao said anxiously, "If Master gives up his holy position, then..."

Lin Tian looked at Duobao, "The saint is restricted by Heavenly Dao. He seems to be aloof, but in fact he is like a bird in a cage, unable to be free."

"Although Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal does not have the name of a saint, he has the reality of Hunyuan, free and easy, and is not restricted by Heavenly Dao."

He looked at Tongtian: "Tongtian, you follow the way of intercepting the sky, focusing on a slim chance of survival and changing your fate against the will of heaven. But after you become a saint and are restricted by Heavenly Dao, do you still dare to intercept the sky? Do you still dare to defy fate?"

Tongtian was shocked all over.

Yes!

After becoming a saint, he seemed stronger, but in fact he was restricted in every way.

Heavenly Dao asked him to sign Investiture of the Gods, but he did not dare to sign. Heavenly Dao asked him to sacrifice his disciples, but he was unwilling to sacrifice.

What does it mean to be a saint like this?

"But Master..." Yunxiao said worriedly, "If you give up the holy position, your strength will be greatly reduced, Taishang Master Uncle, Yuanshi Master Uncle..."

Lin Tian smiled, "Who said you can't become stronger if you give up your holy position?"

He looked at Lu Ya: "Lu Ya with Prove Dao by Law Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, although it is only in the early stage, but in terms of combat power, it is no less than the quasi-sage who killed two corpses. If Tongtian with Prove Dao by Law Hunyuan Grand Unity, the strength will only be stronger than now."

Tongtian's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

He understands.

Completely understood.

"Thank you Dao Venerable for your advice!" Tongtian stood up and bowed deeply, "Tongtian knows what to do!"

Duobao and the others looked at each other. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they could only suppress their uneasiness when they saw their master was so decisive.

"Go." Lin Tian waved his hand, "Remember, Interception Sect's path lies under your own feet."

Tongtian nodded heavily, took his disciples and left.

Three Immortal Islands, return to peace.

Lu Ya couldn't help but ask, "Dao Venerable, Saint Tongtian... will he really give up his holy position?"

Lin Tian looked into the depths of the East China Sea with a meaningful smile on his lips:

"Some people are destined to go that way. Because that is their true way."
