At the summit of Mount Sumeru.

Ling Xiao formed a hand seal, and the origin laws of the World-Cleansing Creation Dao evolved within his hands. With a slight stir of his thoughts, a sacred and ethereal aura enveloped the Merit Golden Lotus and the Buddha Relic.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Dao Merit Golden Wheel fused with the Buddha Relic.

"Though the Karmic Force of Slaughter within the Western Sect's fortune is not much, the karma it has accumulated is exceedingly complex. Aside from the Demon Clan, it also involves an enormous number of humans."

"However, before me, it can be resolved with a flick of my fingers!"

A profound light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes as he thought to himself.

The Western Sect had numerous disciples and believers beneath it.

Karma was invisible, yet omnipresent. As for slaughter and karmic force, they were even easier to perceive.

After Ling Xiao cleansed away the Western Sect's Karmic Force of Slaughter and karma, so long as Western Sect disciples continued committing evil deeds, these ominous laws would emerge once more.

The Sect of Interception was the same.

Ling Xiao had exhausted his origin and cultivation to enter the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and sort out the Karmic Slaughter, but the Sect of Interception's disciples continued doing as they pleased, harming all living beings. That was why the Karmic Slaughter kept arising without end and could not be severed.

Ever since the Heavenly Rules of Interception had been abolished, the Sect of Interception's disciples had become even more unrestrained.

Ling Xiao could not be bothered with them. He was not someone who repaid grievances with virtue!

"Dao Friend Ling Xiao's Great Dao laws are profound and mysterious. I cannot discern them fully for the moment, but those Great Dao laws faintly reveal the power of creation, the Dao of purification..."

Zhunti frowned as he spoke to Jieyin beside him.

With the foundation of a twenty-fourth-grade Pure World White Lotus, his comprehension rivaled that of the foremost Primordial Gods.

If Ling Xiao had not held the esteemed position of Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance, with Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun backing him, Zhunti would even have wanted to abduct and convert him, giving the Western Sect another disciple capable of suppressing the sect.

"Dao Friend Ling Xiao possesses extraordinary foundations. He is not someone we can see through."

Jieyin shook his head and sighed softly.

If Ling Xiao's potential had not been exceptional, why would Dao Ancestor Hongjun have appointed him Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance, bestowed upon him the Investiture of the Gods List and the God-Slaying Whip, and entrusted him with the matter of investing gods?

A moment later!

The Western Sect's fortune vanished from the Merit Golden Lotus. This Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure had completely severed its karmic connection with the Western Sect and now became Ling Xiao's possession.

Meanwhile, the Buddha Relic generated golden merit light. Massive amounts of Heavenly Dao merit surged within it, merging with Sanskrit order and Buddhist laws.

"Two Sages, I have not failed my mission!"

Ling Xiao stored the Merit Golden Lotus in the system space, fully withdrawing his aura.

With a light sweep of his jade sleeve.

A jade box appeared before the Two Sages of the West, containing six Enlightenment Tea Leaves.

"These are Enlightenment Tea Leaves, grown upon the Chaos spiritual root, the Enlightenment Tea Tree. They can purify one's spiritual platform and Dao Heart, allowing one to attain enlightenment in an instant. They are but a small token of my regard."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

The Two Sages of the West might be shameless, but he could not neglect propriety.

For the time being, he would set aside the karma Jieyin and Zhunti owed Hong Yun. That was another matter entirely. But Ling Xiao had achieved his objective in coming to the Western Sect today.

Thus, giving the Two Sages of the West some Enlightenment Tea Leaves was simply going with the flow.

The Primordial Wilderness was not merely about fighting and killing, but about social connections!

Sometimes, good karma still had to be formed!

Besides!

The Enlightenment Tea Leaves possessed extraordinary effects. Even Heavenly Dao Sages would covet them. If Grand Pure Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the others learned of this, would they not be tempted?

The Taiyi Whisk and the Three Treasures Jade Scepter!

Ling Xiao had to find a way to get his hands on them, and the Enlightenment Tea Leaves were the key!

"A Chaos spiritual root!"

"Dao Friend Ling Xiao truly has deep blessings. I am genuinely envious now! How about my senior brother and I personally kill Lingya Immortal and Qiushou Immortal, and you add a few more Enlightenment Tea Leaves?"

Zhunti's breathing quickened as he stared at the Enlightenment Tea Leaves in the jade box.

An idea suddenly struck him, and he voiced his proposal.

Lingya Immortal and Qiushou Immortal were burdened with grave sins. Sending them to report to the Netherworld would count as upholding justice on behalf of Heaven.

"Ahem... Sage, calm down. I have my own way of dealing with Lingya Immortal and Qiushou Immortal."

Ling Xiao stared at Zhunti in surprise, then hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.

Add a few more Enlightenment Tea Leaves!

Zhunti's bottom line really was flexible.

"Junior brother, stop embarrassing yourself before Dao Friend Ling Xiao."

Jieyin spoke righteously and slowly.

Then he turned to Ling Xiao and said, "The Western World is barren and desolate, while the Western Sect has shallow foundations. If Dao Friend ever has a matter requiring the Western Sect's assistance, my junior brother and I will certainly give our full support."

"Of course, you'll have to add more Enlightenment Tea Leaves..."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao's face darkened.

He had thought Jieyin possessed at least a little integrity. Who would have thought he merely found Zhunti too conservative?

The antics of these two brothers left Ling Xiao both amused and exasperated.

Next, Ling Xiao had a pleasant conversation with the Two Sages of the West. Then, he led several direct disciples of the Western Sect, including Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and Dragon Subduing Arhat, toward Lion Camel Ridge.

In addition, tens of thousands of Western Sect believers followed behind him.

Riding Auspicious Clouds, accompanied by resounding Sanskrit chants.

Before long, Ling Xiao and the others arrived above Lion Camel Ridge.

Endless Buddhist laws and Sanskrit text transformed into a vast torrent, enveloping the eight-hundred-li Lion Camel Ridge and leaving no chance for any demons or evil beings to flee.

"Lingya Immortal, Qiushou Immortal, show yourselves at once!"

Bhaisajyaguru Buddha spoke in a deep voice. The Medicine Buddha Beads around his neck radiated the light of wisdom. Wherever the light shone, karmic obstacles dissipated, evil was warded off, and demons were expelled. Miserable screams rose one after another.

As a direct disciple of the Two Sages of the West, he had long since cultivated to the Golden Immortal of Grand Dao realm. Within the Western Sect, his status was second only to the Two Sages of the West and Maitreya Buddha.

"Who dares invade Lion Camel Ridge?"

A roar shook heaven and earth as Qiushou Immortal and Lingya Immortal appeared before the crowd atop demonic qi. They had not fully transformed into Innate Dao Bodies, and their appearances were somewhat savage and terrifying.

Qiushou Immortal had chiseled fangs and saw-like teeth, his face indigo-blue. He wore savage armor and held a bloodstained saber that emanated bone-chilling coldness and sharpness.

Lingya Immortal was half-man, half-elephant, clad in a silver Daoist Robe. His two tusks seemed capable of overturning heaven and earth, while he gripped a spear and fury burned in his eyes.

After appearing, both of them fixed their gazes on Ling Xiao.

"This king was wondering what it was!"

"So the Western Sect has joined forces with this traitor of the Sect of Interception. You came here so aggressively—could it be that you intend to harm this king, or harm the Demon Clan of Lion Camel Ridge?"

Qiushou Immortal stood arrogantly, glaring at Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and Ling Xiao.

He had long held a grudge against Ling Xiao.

Before Ling Xiao had severed his karma with the Sect of Interception, he had constantly pointed fingers at disciples like them, using the so-called Heavenly Rules of Interception to restrain them, even shamelessly claiming it was moral instruction.

Now that Qiushou Immortal had cast off his shackles, he could finally unleash his true nature.

Lording over Lion Camel Ridge, freely devouring humans and nourishing his Blood Vigor Blade with human essence and blood was far more carefree and enjoyable than acting submissively before Tongtian.

"Ling Xiao, you think that with Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and the others helping you, you can strut around like you own the place? Senior Brother Qiushou and I are no longer Golden Immortals of Grand Dao. We are now Golden Immortals of Grand Dao."

Lingya Immortal roared with a savage expression.

Demonic qi surged outward, carrying the overwhelming pressure of a Golden Immortal of Grand Dao.

After devouring an enormous number of humans and receiving the blessing of the Demon Court's fortune, they had successfully formed the Three Flowers of the Grand Dao and entered the Golden Immortal of Grand Dao realm.

That was why they had appeared so openly, completely disregarding Ling Xiao and the Western Sect disciples.

"You have slaughtered humans without restraint, tainting yourselves with Karmic Force of Slaughter. You are intolerable to Heavenly Dao order! As the Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance, I shall slay demons and eliminate evil, grinding your bones to dust."

"Moreover, vermin like you are not qualified to enter the Investiture of the Gods List, much less ascend to Heaven and be invested as gods!"

Ling Xiao's tone was calm, though killing intent lay hidden within it.

Qiushou Immortal and Lingya Immortal were burdened with immense sins. To attain the Grand Dao by devouring humans was truly absurd.

In Ling Xiao's eyes, the two were even more detestable than Dingguang Immortal.

"Dao Friend Ling Xiao, allow me to kill Qiushou Immortal!"

Bhaisajyaguru Buddha looked toward Ling Xiao and spoke expectantly.

He wanted to improve far too much!

There was no other reason—it was all for the Enlightenment Tea Leaves!

Six Enlightenment Tea Leaves were far too few for the Western Sect.

Every single leaf could, at the very least, create one Golden Immortal of Grand Dao for the Western Sect. Bhaisajyaguru Buddha was not exaggerating the effects of the Enlightenment Tea Leaves or making alarmist claims.

Rather, many Western Sect disciples had already reached the late or peak stage of the Golden Immortal of Grand Dao realm. What they lacked was the enlightenment and inspiration needed to become Golden Immortals of Grand Dao.

And that was precisely what the Enlightenment Tea Leaves could help them obtain!

"Very well!"

"Dao Friend and I stand on the side of righteousness, so I shall trouble Dao Friend Bhaisajyaguru to take action!"

Without hesitation, Ling Xiao agreed to Bhaisajyaguru Buddha's request.

Pulling the Western Sect into this meant that two more Heavenly Dao Sages stood behind him. Naturally, the Two Sages of the West's support would only be temporary, but that was enough for Ling Xiao.

"Arrogant!"

Lingya Immortal unleashed his killing intent and charged at Ling Xiao and Bhaisajyaguru Buddha with his spear in hand.

A bloody battle was about to begin!
