The Four Saints' Predicament, Luohu Reappears

Tongtian supported them all the way back to Golden Ao Island.

Looking at the disciples on the island who were meditating and seeking enlightenment, Tongtian's understanding deepened.

Having relinquished his Saint Position, he no longer relied on luck as he had before.

Moreover, the Interception Sect has undergone tremendous changes since the end of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.

He was no longer a saint, so the Interception Sect could no longer be considered Human Teachings; it could even be said to exist in name only.

But for Tongtian, this was not necessarily a bad thing.

Without the constraints of Saint Position, Tongtian had no more reservations.

He remained steadfast in his belief in teaching without discrimination, but no longer clung to the traditional teacher-student relationship.

He preached solely to prove himself, without any ulterior motives.

Tongtian's calm and indifferent state of mind actually allowed the teachings of the Interception Sect to spread even more rapidly Primordial World.

People may not know the names of Tongtian and Interception Sect, but the Tongtian has permeated every corner of the Primordial World.

At this moment, Tongtian had no calculations in his mind, nor did he care about any gains or losses; he only had a pure yearning for the Great Dao.

"This is the Interception Sect I envisioned, the path I've always longed for!"

Tongtian smiled with satisfaction, then leaped into the Biyou Palace to begin his secluded cultivation and breakthrough.

The day he emerges from seclusion next will be the day he attains the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

On the other side, watching Tongtian depart, Taiqing and Yuanshi remained silent in the main hall.

His constantly changing facial expressions revealed that he was not at peace inside.

Tongtian's words before he left still deeply moved them.

Did they have ulterior motives? Of course they did.

But as cultivators of the Primordial World, as intelligent beings, who is without selfish desires?

Have they lost their true selves? Yes, they have indeed lost their true selves.

But they were only acting in their own self-interest, for their own future. Were they wrong?

Taiqing and Yuanshi were both lost in memories of the past.

In the beginning, they were no different from the Ancestral Witch, holding reverence for Pangu and a desire to protect this world.

But when did all of this change?

It is through increasing contact with the Primordial World that one comes to accept the law of the Primordial World, where the strong prey on the weak.

Or perhaps their growing strength has fueled even greater ambition and desire.

Or perhaps they are choosing to abandon their own lineage and turn to the esoteric path of detachment from worldly desires.

It must be a combination of all three that led us to this point.

"Senior brother, were we really wrong?"

Yuanshi not only began to doubt himself, but even his cultivation aura showed signs of instability.

It wasn't that their Yuanshi will wasn't strong enough, but rather that their cultivation path, which had always been smooth, had recently suffered too many setbacks.

This shattered their long-held perceptions.

Moreover, the reason they had been able to have such a smooth journey was because they had inherited the legacy of Pangu and were protected by it.

However, they have been helping the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun to suppress Pangu's Will and prevent Pangu from returning to the world.

As Tongtian said, their current predicament is entirely their own fault.

"Whether I'm right or wrong, I have no chance to regret it."

With Tongtian and Nuwa successively relinquishing their Saint Position, the restrictions imposed on us by Heaven have become increasingly stringent.

Even if we wanted to give up, we wouldn't have the chance.

We have no way out. Instead of getting caught up in right and wrong, we should do everything we can to improve our strength and capabilities.

Otherwise, you and I will eventually be surpassed by newcomers and eliminated by this era!

Taiqing sighed.

Does he not regret it? No, he already regrets it, but he has no right to regret it.

And even if they knew all this, what difference would it make? Back then, they had no other choice.

"Thank you for your explanation, Senior Brother. It was Yuanshi who was too attached to things!"

Taiqing's words helped Yuanshi stabilize his cultivation level, and he stood up and solemnly thanked Taiqing.

He doesn't need to dwell on the past, because it's pointless.

Yuanshi finally left Shouyang Mountain with a heavy heart.

They all knew that the only way to break the deadlock was to improve their own cultivation level.

But how to improve it has put them in a dilemma.

The two men knew the situation was unfavorable to them, but they had no solution.

Perhaps only by forming a deeper bond with the Heavenly Dao can they enhance their strength.

But can the will of Heaven truly be their reliance?

They hadn't doubted it before, but now they felt a bit more uncertain.

Despite their doubts, this was their only way to improve.

In Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti faced the same predicament as Taiqing.

The once lofty and unattainable Saint Position has now become something that many powerful individuals avoid at all costs.

Luohu and Cihang have successfully attained the Primordial Dao. Although other cultivators have not yet broken through, their path to advancement has begun. How far away can their breakthroughs be?

Only the Heavenly Dao Sage has been trapped in this realm.

Jieyin and Zhunti have no connection with Pangu, but they have a great Karma with Luohu.

Although Luohu was defeated by Pangu that day, the strength he displayed had already surpassed that of a sage.

Jieyin and Zhunti believed that even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be a match for Luohu.

After returning to Mount Sumeru, the two began to focus on strengthening the Mount Sumeru's protective array to prepare for any potential impact.

They were no longer concerned with how to discover the West, but rather with how to protect their current foundation.

Even though Luohu had already disappeared, they were not targeting the demon race.

Instead, they recalled their Western Teachings disciples and focused all their efforts on practicing the grand formation.

Only by occupying a strategic position on Mount Sumeru could they still have a chance against Luohu.

Now they only hope that Pangu can severely damage Luohu, giving them more time to prepare.

Unfortunately, things are beyond our control; the more we worry about something, the less likely we are to avoid it.

A wisp of extremely pure demonic energy broke through the holy light barrier and easily appeared above Mount Sumeru.

The Brahma Sound of Buddhist scriptures and the golden light emanating from the sky did nothing to harm that wisp of demonic energy.

"Luohu!"

The moment the demonic energy appeared, Jieyin and Zhunti also appeared, their faces full of caution and vigilance.

"Indeed, it is I. Fellow Daoists, it has been a long time!"

Demonic energy surged, Luohu manifested in the void, arrogantly looking down at Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Greetings, Fellow Luohu Rahu. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Jieyin was shocked. He knew that Luohu had not perished that day, but he did not expect that Luohu could recover so quickly.

Zhunti has already raised his Blessing Divine Pestle and connected it with the grand formation of the entire Mount Sumeru.

"Is this how Human Dao treat your guests?"

Looking at the two who were quite wary, Luohu questioned them with a faint smile.

"We in the West are naturally warm and hospitable to our guests."

However, it is not proper for a guest to forcefully break the formation, fellow Daoist!

Jieyin's eyes remained wary, but he gestured for Zhunti to withdraw the magical treasure in his hand.

"Rest assured, both of you, Luohu's visit is not directed at you."

If I wanted to make a move, I wouldn't have waited until now.

In truth, the Western world and our Devil Dao share a common origin; there's absolutely no need for us to target each other like this.

Luohu's smile grew increasingly sinister, but his tone remained sincere.

"I apologize, it was indeed our Buzhou a good host this time."

"Luohu, please come in!"

Jieyin suppressed his unease and instead invited Luohu into the main hall.
