The Primordial World North Sea.

Jiang Yun, Houtu, and Xuanming stepped out of the Guixu Passage.

"This trip to the Nine Netherworlds has been quite fruitful." Houtu gazed into the distance, her eyes deep. "My sister the Two I have personally witnessed the effects of the Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane. I will discuss this matter with Eldest Brother Dijiang and the others when I return to the clan."

Xuanming stood with his arms crossed. "Jiang Yun, since you have such Formations, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"

If my Witch Clan and Demon Clan had known about this method earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have come to this.

Jiang Yun didn't care about Xuanming's thoughts. "Xuanming Ancestral Witch, you make it sound simple, but all your thoughts are based on the perspective of your Witch Clan, without considering the perspective of my Western Teachings."

For our Western Teachings, this is not the time to promote the Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane. It is because your two races are powerful and have taken the initiative that our religion cannot gain control or sufficient benefits from this matter.

In fact, if your Witch-Demon War hadn't become unavoidable and escalated, and if I hadn't wanted the Primordial Desolation World to suffer from severe internal strife and affect the Hongmen Alliance Oath, I might not have told you about the Yin- Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane."

After hearing this, Xuanming realized that his idea was flawed and remained silent.

Jiang Yun continued, "There's one more thing you need to know."

Although the Primordial Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Array in the Nine Netherworlds World can transform Chaos Qi, it requires a Hunyuan- level Great Formation as its foundation and a massive amount of Spirit Materials, which consumes a considerable amount of resources.

When we were repairing the Nine Netherworld Membrane, it took us all our efforts to barely gather the materials needed for the three Great Formation.

"If this formation were to cover the Primordial World..." He shook his head, "It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Houtu sighed softly, "We have indeed not thought this matter through carefully. This matter needs to be considered in detail."

"However, having a direction is better than being stuck in a dead end." She turned to Jiang Yun and said solemnly, "I will discuss this with Elder Brother Dijiang as soon as possible, hoping to come up with a solution that will satisfy your Western Teachings."

Xuanming nodded. "This matter also involves the Demon Clan race, and we will need to discuss it with the Demon Clan afterwards."

After exchanging a few more words, the three of them transformed into streaks of light and departed.

Inside the Main Peak hall of Mount Sumeru.

As soon as Jiang Yun returned to Mount Sumeru, he came here, wanting to discuss matters with Jieyin and Zhunti.

As the Vice Sect Leader, he can push things forward, but ultimately, the approval of Two Religious Leaders is required for implementation.

Upon entering the hall, Jiang Yun's brows furrowed in thought.

Jieyin and Zhunti must have received the message from the Good Corpse, and are now waiting in the main hall.

"Teacher, Uncle-Master!" He bowed respectfully, "This disciple has important matters to discuss."

Zhunti raised his eyes and smiled, "Is it about the matter of the Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane?"

Jiang Yun was taken aback. "Uncle-Master already knows?"

Jieyin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze kind yet profound. "When you, Houtu, and Xuanming entered the Nine Netherworlds World, my Good Corpse sensed it."

When our group set up the Primordial Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Array in the Nine Netherworlds World, everyone knew how important this array was to the Primordial Desolation World.

Didn't you already know that in your heart from the beginning?

Since we haven't mentioned this matter since returning to the Primordial World, why do you want to promote it now?

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I see that the Witch-Demon War is intensifying and Great Tribulation is imminent. If we continue to fight each other, the prehistoric Primordial World will decline sooner or later, which may affect our Hongmen oath."

Moreover, after the Immortal Court was destroyed, our Western Teachings became the one to stick its neck out. If this continues, it will inevitably become the focus of the struggle between the two sides.

The Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane can draw upon the Chaos Qi to nourish heaven and earth. If this can be widely adopted, it could become a solution to the current predicament, preventing Great Tribulation while simultaneously diverting attention!

Zhunti shook his head. "The idea is good, but the time is not right."

It has been quite some time since my senior brother and I returned from the Nine Netherworlds. We have the Two Slashing the Three Corpses and have recently gained considerable insights into the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

We sense that the time for enlightenment is not far off!

Perhaps the Western Region has changed too much, Jieyin the Two Zhunti have gone far enough on their path of Laws that they are not lagging behind the other four as recorded in their Previous Life. On the contrary, they have gone further than the others and were able to sense the opportunity to attain enlightenment first.

"If the opportunity to attain enlightenment is approaching, wouldn't the timing be perfect?" Jiang Yun frowned. "We can prepare in advance, and once our two masters have successfully attained enlightenment, we can take the lead in this matter. At that time, we can start by promoting the Primordial Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Array from the Nine Netherworlds World to the Primordial World. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Jieyin sighed, "Jiang Yun, do you know how much we paid to repair the Nine Netherworld Membrane?"

Before Jiang Yun could answer, Zhunti had already calculated on his fingers. "The three Hunyuan Great Formation Hunyuan consumed 129,600 kinds of Congenital Spiritual Material, including many things that had disappeared from the primordial Primordial World."

The Three Corpse Bodies of Ziwei and Hong Yun have been guarding the formation until now, only now stabilizing its foundation. If they were to cover the Primordial World, the resources required would probably be enough even if the treasuries of the Witch and Demon Clans were emptied!

Jiang Yun remained silent.

Jieyin continued, "Furthermore, this formation requires Hunyuan level Magical Power to maintain."

The Nine Netherworlds Great Formation is guarded by Ziwei and Hong Yun, but in this Primordial World, where can one find so many powerful beings willing to guard it?

Even if we find them, how could they possibly be used by our Western Teachings?

Jiang Yun clenched his fist. "Are we just going to give up like this?"

"It's not about giving up," Zhunti piercing eyes, "But about waiting for the right opportunity."

The Yao Qi is currently riding high on its fortunes; even if this is feasible, are they truly willing to push it forward?

Will they be able to live to see that moment of success?

Only after we become saints will we have enough power to lead this matter forward. Only by concentrating our strength can we accomplish great things. You should understand this principle. Otherwise, why would you have tried to win over the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, who were already declining?

Jiang Yun, your mind is in turmoil. You should go into seclusion and reflect on your actions!

Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, it seems I've unknowingly fallen into Primordial World mess, my thoughts trapped by the situation.

He was so worried about the influence of various forces on Western Teachings and wanted to balance the situation, but he actually ignored the fact that fist is power, and only with power can one smoothly implement his ideas!

He suddenly realized that his two teachers were not short-sighted, but rather had a longer-term vision.

While the Yin-Yang Fetal Membrane strategy is beneficial for generations to come, its implementation at present, though seemingly a way to break the deadlock, may not be truly sustainable for the other two factions, except for the Western Teachings!

On the contrary, it was he who exposed this method, and Western Teachings may become the target of public criticism.

"Disciple... understands." Jiang Yun sighed, "I had oversimplified things."

Zhunti patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "It's already rare that you have this intention."

Let's leave that for the future!

Jieyin also said gently, "Since the Primordial Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Array of the Nine Netherworlds World is functioning well, we might as well use it as an example to secretly accumulate experience."

We will gradually promote it when the time is right.

Jiang Yun nodded solemnly. "This disciple will remember."

However, the matter of the Primordial Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Array has already been leaked. Will it make our sect a target of public criticism?

"Don't underestimate us Western Teachings. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."

Take Di Jun for example. He's a man of great courage. Even if he knew about the Formations, he wouldn't attack us because it wouldn't be worth it.

As for the Witch Clan, we haven't had much contact with them, so we won't comment further!

Unless the two races join forces, we don't face much pressure if it's just one side!

The words of Jieyin were quite encouraging and dispelled Jiang Yun's doubts.

The night was deep, Jiang Yun sat alone atop the mountain.

Starlight fell, illuminating his pensive face. Kong Xuan appeared quietly and handed him a pot of spirit wine.

"What, did the Two Religious Leaders dampen your spirits?" Kong Xuan teased.

Jiang Yun took the wine jug, tilted his head back and took a sip, then said with a wry smile, "I was too eager for quick success."

Kong Xuan sat down and said calmly, "Actually, your idea is not wrong, but the Great Trend of the Primordial Desolation cannot be changed by one person or one faction."

The leader of the Jieyin Sect is right. The current focus is on the Witch-Demon War. What you can actually eat is what matters. What you can see but can't eat is meaningless. Who cares about Chaos Spiritual Energy?

Jiang Yun remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Kong Xuan, what do you say... if after the Great Tribulation the world's order truly matches our wishes, would it be feasible to implement the Fetal Membrane policy at that time?"

Kong Xuan's eyes flashed. "That depends on who lives to see that day."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

A night breeze swept by, carrying a hint of coolness.
