Past Karma, Cihang Enters the Fray
Since he began cultivating, Taiqing has always regarded himself as superior to other cultivators.
Apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who doesn't hold him in the highest esteem?
Even the Two Sages of the West and Nuwa, despite their dissatisfaction, maintained a polite and flattering demeanor outwardly due to the Sanqing's status and power.
Only after Cihang rose to power did Taiqing suffer several setbacks.
It was this stark contrast in their attitudes that made Taiqing extremely dissatisfied with Cihang, leading to his repeated targeting of her.
Although he didn't gain much benefit, he didn't consider himself inferior to Cihang because of his status as a saint.
But after Cihang broke through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, everything changed.
At this moment, he has surpassed him in both cultivation level and strength.
Thus, everything he had done before became a complete joke.
He wanted to maintain his former arrogance, but he felt so powerless in front of Cihang.
This time, he did indeed intend to use Cihang to suppress the West.
But the prerequisite is that Cihang puts aside her prejudices against them.
Therefore, upon entering the main hall, Taiqing immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
In an effort to ease tensions, he even took out a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Even for someone at their level, Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure are still rare and precious.
Moreover, it is a spiritual treasure that perfectly suits Cihang's needs.
"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, there's no need for that."
While we can't be considered friends, we're not exactly enemies either.
As for the previous targeting and grudges, those are in the past.
As long as you stop targeting me, I will not deliberately target you.
"Offering a top-grade spiritual treasure as an apology is completely unnecessary!"
Although the Universe Diagram was excellent, Cihang did not want to accept it so easily.
After acquiring the Creation Green Lotus and the Chaos Bell, the Universe Diagram was no longer as important to him.
It would be best to get it, but it's not a loss if you don't.
Based on his understanding of Taiqing, this Universe Diagram was not so easy to obtain.
As for the Karma before that, he forcibly resolved it when he seized the Five Directional Banners.
Although the grudges between them still exist, there is no Karma between them.
"Fellow Daoist, you are still wary of me."
Taiqing had no ulterior motives this time; presenting the Universe Diagram was purely for congratulations and apology.
I hope you will accept this gift and forgive any past grievances!
Cihang's repeated refusals caused Taiqing to sink, but he still persisted.
"I believe I have a fairly good understanding of you, fellow Daoist."
Your visit at this time is likely not solely for the purpose of apologizing and making amends.
Fellow Daoist, please state your purpose for this trip directly, otherwise I will feel uneasy about keeping this Universe Diagram!
Cihang, unwilling to continue making excuses to Taiqing, directly inquired about his true purpose.
"As you predicted, I do indeed have other matters to attend to this time!"
However, this matter is neither beneficial nor harmful to you, and I have no intention of plotting against you.
I suppose my grudges with the West cannot escape the eyes of my fellow Daoists.
Previously, due to my delusions, I reached a cooperation agreement with the West, promising to spread the Tao in the East Victory Divine Continent.
However, the East Victory Divine Continent is the foundation of the Xuanmen sect. If they were to successfully spread their teachings, it would likely cause great chaos.
Therefore, I would like to ask you, fellow Daoist, to intervene and disrupt the balance of the universe by diverting the Western destiny!
Taiqing knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, Taiqing wouldn't accept the Universe Diagram.
However, this time he truly had no intention of scheming against Cihang; on the contrary, he came to offer her benefits.
Whether it's the Universe Diagram or this division of the Western fortune, the one who benefits the most is Cihang.
"Fellow Daoist, you have probably come to the wrong person. I cultivate the Primordial Chaos Path, which seeks transcendence and freedom."
Whether it's Daoism or the West, what does it matter to me?
Cihang never expected that Taiqing had come for this reason.
The Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods has just ended, and they're already plotting the next calamity?
Under normal circumstances, Cihang would naturally be unaware of what would happen next.
But he does possess memories of the future.
In the original trajectory, although the Investiture of the Gods ended with the victory of the Chan Sect, the biggest beneficiary was the West.
They not only converted many disciples of the Interception Sect, but also caused Taiqing and Yuanshi to incur Karma, which led to this missionary work.
The West also took advantage of this to rise to prominence, and thus gained momentum to suppress the Sanqing Ones of Daoism.
In order to suppress the West, the Taiqing also had its own plans, supporting Duobao to establish a Buddhist sect and thus divide the West's fortunes.
Perhaps they had been high above for too long and Jieyin and Zhunti, which led to their success in converting the resentful Duobao.
Not only did it fail to divide the West's fortunes, it actually allowed the West to gain the upper hand.
And he, Cihang, also played a crucial role in this calamity.
And because of this, they gained an extremely high status within Buddhism.
This also destined them to be abandoned and sacrificed in the future.
Cihang originally thought that after so much had happened, the East-West conflict would no longer concern him.
Unexpectedly, Taiqing found him directly this time.
"I naturally know that you cultivate the Primordial Chaos Path."
But do you, fellow Daoist, still remember that you once had an alliance with the West, and for this reason created the Red Lotus World-Saving Path?
Although you have now attained enlightenment, this karmic Karma is not yet resolved.
Since Taiqing had decided to come to Mount Luojia, he was confident that he could get Cihang to agree.
Cihang couldn't help but sigh.
Although he attained enlightenment through the primordial state, he was not omnipotent.
In terms of strength, he was indeed superior to these Heavenly Dao Sages, but in terms of understanding the secrets of the Primordial World, he was far inferior.
He has indeed attained enlightenment, but there are still many unresolved Karma in the Primordial World.
"I see, fellow Daoist, I overlooked that."
However, fellow Daoist, you can be certain that I will help you, not actually help Jieyin and Zhunti!
After all, compared to Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti, my grudges with you are much deeper!
Cihang changed the subject abruptly, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Taiqing.
Taiqing did not have absolute certainty.
Taiqing has come here with the sincere intention of resolving the grievances with fellow Daoist.
Whatever choice you ultimately make, Fellow Daoist, Taiqing will have no complaints.
"I only hope that you, fellow Daoist, can put aside your past prejudices and grudges against us!"
Taiqing's expression changed several times before returning to normal.
He didn't ask much of Cihang, nor did he expect Cihang to actually help them.
Moreover, as long as Cihang can divide the Western fortune, it will be the greatest help to them.
"What a Taiqing Saint! I now have some respect for you, fellow Daoist."
As my fellow practitioner said, my Karma with the West are not yet resolved, so I have no reason to refuse.
As for the grudges with fellow Daoists...
As long as you don't provoke me, I won't target you or Yuanshi Daoist Yuanshi.
I wonder if you are satisfied with this result!
Cihang did not refuse and waved her hand to put away the Universe Diagram.
Cihang had no reason to refuse Taiqing's request.
His conflict with the Sanqing was merely a matter of spiritual cultivation, and he had no intention of seeking revenge.
To possess such a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure now is quite an unexpected delight.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Taiqing stood up and thanked Cihang for not taking offense.
He didn't expect to befriend Cihang with a Cihang treasure; all he wanted was an answer and peace of mind.
