A Visit to Wuzhuang Temple

The Jieyin between the Jieyin Society and Yuanshi was naturally driven by self-interest; they wanted to use this alliance to gain opportunities for development in the East.

Before they could even see any benefits, they had already suffered a significant loss of vitality.

The benefits that Nuwa took away alone far outweighed the benefits promised by Yuanshi.

Moreover, Nuwa is the Holy Mother of the Human Race. If she really prevents the West from spreading its teachings among the human race, the West's future development will likely face difficulties everywhere.

The devastation in the west also enraged Jieyin.

But he wanted to vent his anger on Yuanshi, yet he had no way of saying it.

Ultimately, Yuanshi was completely ignored, and he returned to Mount Sumeru.

Seeing this, Tongtian let out a cold laugh and then fled into the distance.

He didn't wait for Taiqing's explanation; the facts were as they were, what was there to explain?

No matter how much he said, it couldn't stop Yuanshi from scheming against him.

However, Tongtian is not so easy to outmaneuver.

He will do everything in his power to protect the Shang Dynasty, and he will not abandon the destiny of the human race.

He wanted to see just how far Taiqing and Yuanshi would go.

Should we completely abandon the friendship between the Sanqing Ones?

"Senior brother, Tongtian...!"

Yuanshi looked at Tongtian's departing figure with displeasure.

"No need for further words, let's go!"

Even without hearing any whispers, Taiqing was well aware of what those people were thinking.

Houtu and her group, not far away, watched with expressions of amusement.

Yuanshi's expression darkened again, but he said nothing more and left the West with Taiqing.

This time, the West indeed suffered heavy losses, and the Sanqing Ones also lost face.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, Houtu Daoist Houtu, it is a rare occasion for us to gather here."

"Since this place isn't far from Wuzhuang Temple, how about we gather here at my Wuzhuang Temple?"

Seeing that the excitement had ended, Zhenyuanzi extended an invitation to Cihang and Houtu.

"That's perfect, it's been a long time since we've had a proper get-together."

"I'll have to trouble you this time, fellow Daoist!"

Cihang and Houtu did not refuse and gladly accepted the invitation.

The three of them transformed into streaks of light and arrived at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain in the blink of an eye.

After Zhenyuanzi attained enlightenment, Wuzhuang Temple underwent significant changes.

Wuzhuang Temple, which was already a top-tier grotto-heaven in the Primordial World, is now no less powerful than Human Dao.

After entering Wuzhuang Temple, Zhenyuanzi once again took out Ginseng Fruit to entertain Cihang and Houtu.

With the increased Wuzhuang Temple, the Ginseng Fruit has also gained a more divine and mysterious quality than before.

"We really watched a great show this time."

Jieyin and Zhunti to great lengths to develop the West, but this time they've chosen the wrong opponent!

Cihang savored the Ginseng Fruit while marveling at it.

"The calamity of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods has not even begun, yet they have already started scheming against each other."

What a spectacular calamity!

Houtu spoke with unbridled sarcasm.

"When the Dao Ancestor Hongjun set out the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, his original intention was to reduce the calamities of heaven and earth, and to use this as a means to enhance the authority and order of the Heavenly Dao."

However, with the current internal strife among the Heavenly Saints, it seems all the painstaking planning of Dao Ancestor Hongjun has been in vain!

Although Zhenyuanzi's words contained a hint of worry, they also carried a sarcastic and disdainful tone.

Hongjun's plan may have been good, but he underestimated the determination of the sages.

Even in the current situation, the sages are not immune to vying for power and profit.

"How do you know that this was not Hongjun's original intention?"

We can all see through the thoughts of the Sanqing and Jieyin, so how could Dao Ancestor Hongjun, not know?

"How could things have developed to this point without his indulgence!"

Houtu and Zhenyuanzi's analysis was correct, but Cihang saw Hongjun's deeper plans.

"How is this possible? Hongjun is Merged with the Heavenly Dao; his strength and majesty are inextricably linked to the Heavenly Dao."

"How could Dao Ancestor Hongjun do this?"

Cihang's words left Houtu and Zhenyuanzi stunned.

They truly did not understand why Hongjun did this.

"Unlike the Earthly Way, the Heavenly Way has its own consciousness."

If Hongjun were willing to be controlled by the Heavenly Dao, things would not have turned out this way, but he was clearly not willing to accept it.

Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao appear to be one, but the struggle between them is far more intense than we could have imagined!

Cihang and Houtu are allies, so they naturally don't mind pointing out the relationship between the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.

In the original timeline, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, in their struggle for control of the world, orchestrated a series of calamities.

Hongjun, however, seeks transcendence and wants to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. While seemingly plotting for the Heavenly Dao, he is actually constantly diminishing its authority.

Without Hongjun's secret assistance, the underground passage wouldn't have been so easily restored.

Nuwa wouldn't act so recklessly.

It's important to know that Nuwa was Heavenly Dao Sage.

She could plot against Human Dao without any scruples, and Hongjun shielded her from a great deal of pressure.

"This makes this great calamity even more interesting!"

"Although I feel a bit smug, this situation is indeed more advantageous to us!"

Houtu and Zhenyuanzi both looked enlightened.

Some of the things that were previously unclear and incongruous have now been explained.

"Indeed, this Investiture of the Gods of the Gods is the best opportunity for you two to develop!"

"I wonder how your preparations are going, fellow Daoists?"

Cihang strongly agreed with what Houtu and the other person said.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, I have already made preparations."

"If Heaven can bestow Investiture of the Gods upon the gods of Heavenly Court through the Investiture of the Gods, then I too can bestow titles upon the gods of Earth through the Earth Book!"

Zhenyuanzi confidently unleashed the Earth Book.

As the underground passages revive, the essence of the Earth Book is also gradually improving.

Under Zhenyuanzi's refinement, it is now infinitely close to becoming a supreme treasure.

"This time, I will also do my utmost to help Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan."

Houtu also revealed a confident smile.

Since their last trip to the Zixiao Palace, Zhenyuanzi and Houtu have been making preparations.

As someone who possesses the Earth Book, this time, the deity of the Earthly Path is naturally to be the master of Zhenyuanzi.

But Houtu is the master of reincarnation, in charge of the reincarnation of all spirits in heaven and earth.

Even during a great calamity, there is still a great deal of room for manipulation.

If she so desired, she could even compete with the Investiture of Investiture of the Gods for the souls and true spirits of cultivators.

The two of them, working together, will surely seize those cultivators with deep roots in the sect.

In addition to the local deities, the underworld should also include some ghosts and gods to improve its order.

"It's good that you two are prepared!"

After this calamity, the authority of the Earthly Path will rival that of the Heavenly Path.

The Primordial Origin will grow stronger and stronger!

Cihang smiled in approval, but did not inquire further about their plans.

When it comes to the development of the authentic world, they will only be more dedicated and knowledgeable than him.

In the original course, the authority of the Earthly Way and the Human Dao was stripped away by the Heavenly Way.

In the eyes of cultivators, all the billions of living beings in the Primordial World are like ants.

Those mountain gods and local deities are among the lowest-ranking beings in the Heavenly Court.

Anyone with even a little cultivation can enslave them.

But things are different now.

With the restoration of the earth's way, the mountain gods and land gods now hold extraordinary status, no less than the gods of the heavens.

Although Human Dao has not yet recovered, the order of heaven and earth is becoming more and more perfect.

Whether they are cultivators or mortals, everyone has their own space to live in and their own rules to follow.
