Enlightenment Sect Allied with the West
Yuanshi's feelings towards Cihang were very complex, far more than just that of an opponent.
Even after he had attained enlightenment, he still remembered how Cihang had refused to become his disciple when he was preaching on Kunlun Mountain.
He used to be dismissive of it.
In his eyes, Cihang was nothing more than an ant.
He was willing to take him as his apprentice because of a shared destiny between them.
Not only was Cihang ungrateful, but she even dared to refuse him.
This is utterly overestimating one's abilities.
Such a mindset will not lead to long journeys on the path of spiritual practice.
But then Cihang made one advancement after another, entering the ranks of top experts at a speed that exceeded everyone's expectations.
Every time I see Cihang, it reminds me of his past failures.
Although no one spoke of it to him, he knew that many cultivators were mocking him for missing out on such a powerful figure.
But by this time, Cihang had already become a force to be reckoned with, so even if he wanted to target him, he would have to think twice.
Even so, he didn't care too much.
Even if Cihang has some resources, without the Primordial Violet Qi, he will only reach the Quasi-Saint level.
I can never compare to him.
But he miscalculated once again. Cihang, at the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, possessed strength comparable to a saint.
Faced with Cihang, he could no longer feel superior.
There was even a hint of jealousy that she herself hadn't noticed.
That's right, it's jealousy.
Although he was Heavenly Dao Sage, he was also the one who knew best the limitations of Heavenly Dao Sage.
The moment he attained enlightenment, his path forward was already severed.
Although invincible in the Primordial World, it can never transcend Primordial World.
But Cihang was different; he cultivated the Primordial Chaos Path.
Although it hasn't reached its limit, it holds infinite possibilities.
Why is it that he, as one of the Sanqing, cannot cultivate the Primordial Chaos Path, while Cihang can?
This is why Yuanshi increasingly targeted Cihang.
He also least wanted to see Cihang attain enlightenment.
Cihang's enlightenment indirectly proved their wrong choice.
The Primordial Chaos Path should not be dissolved into the Primordial World.
This time, Taiqing's words made Yuanshi truly face his own heart and confront this jealousy.
However, he had no intention of letting Cihang off the hook.
It was precisely because he had faced his own conscience that he was even more determined not to let Cihang go.
Countless beings in the Primordial World failed to take this step, so how could Cihang, who was able to embark on the Primordial Chaos Path ahead of others, not have his own destiny?
Given the opportunity presented by Cihang, he might be able to advance even further.
Having made his decision, Yuanshi did not linger on Shouyang Mountain and headed straight for Western Mount Sumeru.
When the Yuanshi aura appeared in the west, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed simultaneously.
The two immediately activated the mountain-protecting formation and then took to the air to face Yuanshi directly.
"Yuanshi Daoist Yuanshi, what brings you to my Western Paradise? Do you intend to take action against us in a different way?"
Zhunti, with a wary expression, questioned Yuanshi.
Now that a great calamity has broken out, it's no wonder that Jieyin and Zhunti are on guard.
"Fellow Daoists, please do not misunderstand. Yuanshi has come with no ill intentions, but rather seeks to cooperate with you!"
Yuanshi smiled, revealing his goodwill.
"Cooperation? Does Fellow Daoist wish for us to enter the East to spread the Dao and together enlighten all living beings?"
Yuanshi's sudden change in attitude did not make Zhunti lower his guard.
"This is not the place to talk. Won't you two invite me into the Daoist temple for a chat?"
Although Yuanshi came for the purpose of forming an alliance, it wouldn't be here.
"Fellow Daoist, please come in!"
Jieyin and Zhunti a glance, then launched a battle to protect the mountain, leading Yuanshi into the main hall.
Although Yuanshi's specific purpose is still unknown, it is certain that Yuanshi has no intention of fighting them.
Moreover, even if they were to fight, the two of them together would not be afraid of Yuanshi.
"Now you can speak, fellow Daoist, what exactly do you mean by this alliance?"
After they were seated, Zhunti immediately asked Yuanshi a question.
"You two fellow Daoists should also be aware of the changes that have taken place in the Primordial World."
We sages are no longer the only ones to attain enlightenment in this Primordial World.
Although the Primordial Origin is constantly strengthening, our authority and fortune are constantly slipping away.
As fellow Heavenly Dao Sage, we are natural allies and should not continue to target each other.
Give others time to develop!
Yuanshi uttered words similar to those of Taiqing.
"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. The advantage of us Heavenly Dao Sage is indeed gradually diminishing."
How exactly do you intend to form an alliance, fellow Daoist?
The changes in heaven and earth are so obvious, how could Jieyin and Zhunti not know?
This is precisely why they were so eager to develop the West, and the Sanqing were undoubtedly their biggest obstacle.
"I know you two fellow Daoists are eager to develop the Western Teachings, but why do you keep focusing on the East?"
Compared to the East, wouldn't South Continent) be a more suitable choice?
"Yuanshi come here precisely to form an alliance with the two of you and jointly occupy South Continent!"
Yuanshi did not delay and directly stated the purpose of his trip.
Jieyin and Zhunti did not rush to answer, but weighed the pros and cons.
They had naturally also seen the previous failures of Yuanshi against Mount Luojia.
Their apprehension towards Mount Luojia also intensified.
However, no matter how strong Mount Luojia is, how can it withstand the combined forces of the two sects?
Yuanshi said is also correct; they have absolutely no need to focus on the East Victory Divine Continent.
Although the East Victory Divine Continent is a good place, with the Sanqing presiding over it, its fortune is almost entirely divided up by them.
If they want a share of the profits, they will inevitably have to become enemies with the Sanqing.
The reason they didn't choose Cihang was not only because they were wary of Cihang, but also because they feared being targeted by the Sanqing if they attacked Cihang.
If we were to form an alliance with the Chan Sect now, this concern would be eliminated.
Forming an alliance with the Chan Sect now would be beneficial and harmless to them.
"As fellow Heavenly Dao Sage, we are naturally willing to form an alliance with you."
But how should the fate be divided afterward?
Zhunti up, directly asking about the future distribution of profits.
"If you want to divide up the fortune of the South Continent, you must also successfully destroy Mount Luojia."
"In that case, why don't we each use our own methods instead of relying on our own teachings?"
Yuanshi made no promises; they were allies, but also competitors.
"Can!"
Although there was no clear division of benefits, Jieyin and Zhunti still agreed to this alliance.
Although the West is impoverished, its strength is no less than that of the Chan Sect.
"In that case, let us each make our own preparations, and together we will attack Mount Luojia a hundred years from now!"
Yuanshi established a hundred-year period and then returned to Kunlun to begin making arrangements.
Jieyin and Zhunti also began to take action, recalling their disciples from the East Victory Divine Continent and heading towards the South Continent instead.
The retreat from the West was not hindered by the Interception Sect.
Instead, they were using this opportunity to seize the Lingshan Daoist temple in the East Victory Divine Continent.
Without the obstruction of the Human Teachings, the independent cultivators of the East Victory Divine Continent were simply unable to withstand the onslaught of the Interception Sect.
The already powerful fortune of the Interception Sect became even more abundant.
Seeing the Interception Sect's fortunes soar, a strange light flashed in Yuanshi's eyes, but this time he did not continue to stop it.
If the South Continent is conquered, the Chan Sect will definitely be able to surpass the Interception Sect in one fell swoop.
Meanwhile, a tense atmosphere pervaded Mount Luojia.
