Schemes Renewed, Nuwa Drawn In
Although she had other plans in mind, Cihang still did not give up her scheme during the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.
He didn't care who would win; all he wanted was the change of fortune brought about by the great calamity.
Therefore, not only the Yin Shang and Shang dynasties, but also the feudal lords had cultivators from Mount Luojia.
They didn't even spare Xiqi Cihang, which were chosen by the Chan Sect.
The calamity of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods officially began amidst the power struggles among various forces.
Although this calamity was mainly caused by the Chan and Jie Sects, many other forces from the Primordial World also played a role.
The ancient demon race, which had long faded from the view of the Primordial World, once again stepped into the center of Primordial World under Xi He's leadership.
Although the situation was chaotic, all the saints exercised great restraint, limiting powerful cultivators from interfering in this calamity.
Although everything is different now, it is still remarkably similar to the original trajectory of development.
Everything is proceeding according to the saints' plan.
In Mount Sumeru, ever since he saw Cihang's Merit Lotus Platform, Jieyin felt increasingly uneasy.
Although Cihang hasn't done anything yet, that doesn't mean he won't in the future.
That Merit Lotus Platform is a spiritual treasure powerful enough to influence the fortunes of the West.
If Cihang were to intervene at the crucial moment, it could cause all of his schemes to fail.
"No, we absolutely cannot just sit here and wait to die."
A fierce glint flashed in Jieyin's eyes, and he then rode the escape light toward Kunlun.
No matter how powerful Cihang is, she is ultimately all alone.
Their previous siege of Mount Luojia failed because Cihang was well-prepared.
This time he will definitely make thorough preparations and is determined to completely suppress Cihang.
He refused to believe that Cihang could evade their schemes time and time again.
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, why have you come to Kunlun at this time?"
Yuanshi greeted him with a smile.
Even though their cooperation was fragile, they maintained a facade of politeness and enthusiasm.
"Yuanshi Daoist Yuanshi, Cihang said that Mount Luojia would not be affected by this calamity, but his schemes were no less cunning."
His existence has brought us too much uncertainty. Fellow Daoist, are you still going to continue to tolerate this?"
The Jieyin should state their purpose directly.
"Is Fellow Daoist Jieyin about to attack Cihang?"
A glint of light appeared in Yuanshi's indifferent eyes.
"Indeed, Cihang has been far too arrogant lately, trying to meddle in everything."
"Leaving it in the Primordial World will likely bring endless trouble!"
Jieyin's resentment towards Cihang has a long history.
Whether it was the fall of Zhunti or the threat of the Merit Lotus Platform, these were reasons why he had no choice but to take action against Cihang.
"I am naturally aware of what you mean, fellow Daoist."
However, Cihang's strength and methods are extraordinary; it won't be so easy for him to scheme against her!
Yuanshi Tianzun did not want to eliminate Cihang; they even took action to achieve it.
However, it ultimately ended in failure.
"Although Cihang is strong, she is ultimately all alone."
If we don't act soon, it could lead to an even greater disaster!
Seeing that Yuanshi was wary, Jieyin's voice became urgent.
"What you say is true, but with just the two of us, we still don't have a sure chance of winning."
Although Cihang was all alone, Houtu and Zhenyuanzi were very close friends with her.
Once we take action, neither of them will stand idly by.
"We need to plan carefully before taking action against Cihang."
Yuanshi did not hesitate for long before accepting Jieyin's invitation.
Jieyin said is correct; Cihang has always been a hidden danger for them.
But judging from his recent actions, he is not indifferent to this great calamity.
To avoid being defeated because of Cihang, it's best to strike first.
Having made up his mind, Yuanshi immediately headed straight for Shouyang Mountain with Jieyin.
After Yuanshi Jieyin the two to explain their purpose, they immediately gained Taiqing's approval.
For them, Cihang was an obstacle on their path forward.
The reason I didn't make any further moves before wasn't because I was unwilling, but because I didn't have the opportunity.
Now, with the help of Jieyin and the Sanqing, they have absolute confidence in suppressing Cihang.
After all, even if Cihang had helpers, it was only Houtu and Zhenyuanzi.
On their side, there were indeed four sages.
But when they confidently invited Tongtian, they were rejected.
Although Tongtian also regarded Tongtian as an opponent, he also had a certain degree of mutual respect for him.
My previous actions against Cihang were partly out of necessity.
Although he has not formally broken ties with Taiqing Yuanshi, they are engaged in numerous covert struggles.
Tongtian did not want to become enemies with Cihang at this time.
Even if he were to clash with Cihang in the future, even if he were to rely on his own strength to fight him head-on.
Instead of relying on the help of others.
Tongtian's refusal naturally displeased Taiqing and Yuanshi.
But Tongtian's attitude was firm, and they had no way to change it.
The originally foolproof plan has hit a bottleneck because Tongtian refused to take action.
"Tongtian is unwilling to take action, the three of us alone are not confident in suppressing Cihang!"
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, that's the truth.
It is precisely because Cihang possesses such strength that they are so wary of it.
"Are we just going to give up like this?"
Even the Jieyin couldn't think of a good solution, but he was unwilling to give up just like that.
"No, even if Tongtian is unwilling to intervene, there are other saints in this Primordial World!"
Nuwa's strength was in no way inferior to Tongtian's!
Taiqing quickly came up with a solution.
"Nuwa? Would she be willing to intervene?"
Compared to us, she was actually closer to Cihang!
Nuwa certainly had the power, but Yuanshi was not confident he could persuade Nuwa.
"Of course, it doesn't mean she should attack Cihang."
Nuwa has always wanted to revive Human Dao, hasn't she? Just tell her that the key to reviving Human Dao lies in the Human Book of Book of Life and Death.
She will deal with Houtu herself!
Taiqing wore a smile, looking confident and assured.
"The Book of Life and Death? But if that's the case, wouldn't she really be able to revive Human Dao?"
They were always very clear about Nuwa's goals.
But they also did not want Nuwa to succeed.
"Don't worry, Nuwa is strong, but Houtu is no pushover either. She won't succeed so easily!"
Taiqing wasn't worried at all, as Houtu's strength was in no way inferior to Nuwa's.
"Brother, you are truly shrewd! Once Houtu is restrained, Cihang will be truly isolated and helpless!"
Both Yuanshi and Jieyin showed joy.
However, they did not go to find Nuwa themselves. To avoid arousing Nuwa suspicion, they joined forces to trigger a celestial secret, thus warning Nuwa.
The news that the Book of Life and Death was related to the revival of Human Dao was not false, and Nuwa would not doubt it.
As the three joined forces to stir up the secrets of heaven, Nuwa in the Empress Wa's Palace instantly sensed it.
"The Book of Life and Death? Houtu!"
So that's how it is! No wonder I've tried so hard but failed to revive Human Dao; it turns out I'm lacking this priceless treasure of Human Dao!
Nuwa awoke from her meditation with a start and, without the slightest hesitation, headed straight for the underworld.
The opportunity for a breakthrough has appeared, and even if the opponent is Houtu, she will not give up.
However, she also knew that Houtu was exceptionally powerful, and obtaining the Book of Life and Death from her would not be easy.
Therefore, while heading to the underworld, Nuwa also sent messages to Xi He and Fuxi, seeking their help.
