Zixiao Palace in.
The sea of clouds was churning a little faster than before, and the indifferent and lofty aura of heaven was rarely mixed with an imperceptible wave.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat upright on the futon, with the messy scene of Western Mount Sumeru's half-collapsed wall reflected in the depths of his eyes, as well as the invincible figure of Houtu, carrying the power of the earth and crushing the saint.
"The true power has become a reality. The power of Houtu far exceeds expectations."
The indifferent thoughts of Heaven echoed in Hongjun's mind.
"With this strong support, Witch Race's destiny is stable. If it is allowed to develop, the demon clan will be defeated and Witch Race will dominate. This is not in line with our original intention."
"The lich is out of balance. The mark Pangu left on Primordial World is difficult to remove, and the world will never be clear again."
Hongjun's face is expressionless, but his heart is like a mirror.
He conforms to the way of heaven, and he should maintain the order of heaven and earth, promote the killing and calamity of heaven and earth, and cleanse Primordial World with the energy of immeasurable calamity. Only in this way can he achieve transcendence.
The two Lich clans, as the protagonists of this calamity, should have suffered losses and perished together. In this way, Heaven would clear away the mark left by Pangu on Primordial World, and he would gather the fate of heaven and earth.
But now, with the help of the anomaly Qingxuan, first Nuwa broke away from the way of heaven, then Houtu suddenly emerged, and Witch Race's luck surged, thus breaking this plan.
"Witch Race is powerful and needs to support the demon clan to restore the balance of power."
Hongjun said to himself indifferently.
With a thought in his mind, five invisible decrees passed through the chaos and fell towards the two saints Kunlun Mountain Three Pure Ones and Western Mount Sumeru respectively.
"Come quickly to the Zixiao Palace for discussion."
Kunlun Mountain and Three Pure Ones received the decree at the same time.
Lao Tzu frowned slightly, Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked solemn, and Sect Master Tongtian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Western Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti, who was comforting his disciples and repairing Dao Field in the ruins, felt the decree of the Zixiao Palace. He was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
They had just suffered a big loss at the hands of Houtu, and now Dao Ancestor's summons must have deep meaning.
After a while, Zixiao Palace.
The figures of the five saints appeared one after another.
Lao Tzu, Primordial, and Tongtian stood on one side, while Jieyin and Zhunti stood on the other side. Their auras were still a little sluggish, and there was still a trace of humiliation on their faces that could not be completely dissipated.
Hongjun's figure appeared silently on the cloud bed, his eyes swept over the five saints below, and he spoke calmly, his voice without any emotion, but it contained the majesty of heaven.
"Witch Race disrespects the way of heaven and is arrogant. Houtu relies on the tunnel to damage the saint Dao Field, and its power has endangered the balance of Primordial World. The demon clan is weak and it is difficult to stop it. As Heavenly Dao Sage, you, as Heavenly Dao Sage, should comply with the will of God, help the demon clan stabilize their destiny, maintain the balance of heaven and earth, and complete the calamity."
As soon as this statement came out, the five saints had different reactions.
Lao Tzu's eyes were lowered, as if he was wandering in a trance, but his slightly trembling Fly Whisk showed that he was not at peace inside.
He established Demon Teachings and borrowed Demon Race Destiny Becoming a Sage. Although he does not do anything, his status is here.
Heaven wants to support the demon clan, which is only good for him, so he will naturally not object.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate's eyes flashed with approval.
He has always looked down on people who were clad in scales and armor, and were born from moisture and turned into eggs. He was even more disgusted with Witch Race who did not respect the way of heaven and only respected Pangu.
It would be in line with his wishes if the two races could be allowed to perish together.
He immediately bowed.
"What the teacher said is true. Witch Race is arrogant and should be suppressed. The disciple is willing to comply with God's will and help the demon clan."
Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other.
They had just suffered a big loss at the hands of Houtu, and now Hongjun asked them to participate in the Lich thing again.
"Teacher, our West has just been attacked by Houtu, and the reconstruction has not been completed yet."
"Martial Brother and I are also seriously injured and have not recovered. It is really difficult to take action."
Zhunti prostrated to the ground, his tone full of grievances.
Not only did Dao Field not get any benefits, but Houtu also ruined it. Now you still want us to work in vain, how is that possible?
Hongjun secretly cursed Two Sages of the West as a waste, waved his hand, and two balls of divine light penetrated into the body of the two saints.
"This is a divine object of heaven. It can help you recover from your injuries."
Two balls of divine light entered the body, and Jieyin and Zhunti really felt that the injuries suffered by Houtu were showing signs of improvement.
"Teacher Mingjian, I, the West, am poor. Mount Sumeru Dao Field It is because we have run countless Yuanhui that we have the current situation. Now it has been destroyed by Houtu. I hope the teacher has mercy on me, the West."
Seeing the benefits obtained in the hands of Hongjun, Zhunti immediately continued to work hard.
If these two people weren't needed now, Hongjun would really want to slap him to death.
Waving his hands again, some low-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures landed in front of the two of them.
Jieyin and Zhunti is not picky, regardless of whether it is of high grade or not, get it first. The West is really too poor. Some of the rags in Three Pure Ones's eyes are rare artifacts for the West.
Seeing that the benefits were obtained, the two people quickly agreed.
"We are also willing to follow the teacher's arrangements and help the demon clan consolidate its foundation."
Only Sect Master Tongtian frowned, with a look of disapproval on his face.
He has a stubborn temperament, and Interception Sect even has the teaching of "intercepting the glimmer of life" and believes that everything has its own way.
In his opinion, the war between lich and witches has its own destiny. If the saint intervenes forcefully, he will be at a disadvantage, not to mention obviously favoring one side?
"Teacher."
Tongtian took a step forward with a loud voice.
"The dispute between lich and demon is the manifestation of the killing and calamity of heaven and earth, and it has its own principles of operation. We saints, who are transcendent, should let nature take its course and watch its changes. If we intervene forcibly and side with the demon clan, wouldn't it be against the justice of heaven? Furthermore, Houtu Daoist friends incarnate in reincarnation, which is a great merit that complements the world. Its strength is the result of our own practice and merit, so why should we..."
"Tongtian!"
Primordial Heavenly Venerate didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then interrupted sharply, looking unhappy.
"How can you question the teacher's decision? Witch Race doesn't understand the numbers and disrespects the way of heaven. Houtu even bullies others and damages the saint Dao Field. How can we condone such behavior? Helping the demon clan is just following the will of heaven and maintaining balance. How can it be unfair?"
Lao Tzu also spoke slowly, with an indifferent voice.
"Third brother, the movement of heaven's way has its own profound meaning. Since we are Heavenly Dao Sage, we should follow the heaven's heart and obey the will of heaven. Witch Race is powerful and disturbs the balance, so we must control it."
Tongtian Seeing that both his brothers were against him, a feeling of depression arose in his heart, and he scratched his neck and said.
"Eldest brother, second brother! My Interception Sect teachings, Teaching without discrimination, intercept a glimmer of hope! The competition between all things reveals the way of heaven! Forcibly interfering and strangling one party, how can it be the right way? That demon clan slaughters Human Race, refines Witch-Slaying Sword, behaves despicably, how can it comply with the way of heaven? I disdain to be associated with it!"
"Presumptuous!"
Primordial Heavenly Venerate yelled angrily.
"Tongtian! You actually contradict your brother and question your teacher for the sake of those people who wear hair and horns?! And your teachings, with shallow blessings and ordinary people, how can you be qualified to listen to the great truth? Now you can't even see right and wrong clearly?"
Lao Tzu's face also darkened.
"Third brother, be careful what you say!"
Jieyin and Zhunti looked on with cold eyes, secretly happy in his heart.
Three Pure Ones Discord is exactly what they like to see.
Tongtian saw that his brother not only did not understand him, but instead scolded him and even belittled his path, he felt even more disappointed and angry.
He flicked his sleeves and robe suddenly, his voice filled with determination.
"If we have different ways, we should not conspire against each other! If the teacher wants me to sit in the demon clan and help the tyrants to do evil, please forgive Tongtian for being unable to obey! I will not participate in this matter!"
After saying that, he gave a slight salute to Hongjun. Without looking at Lao Tzu Primordial's ugly face, he turned around and strode away from the Zixiao Palace, his figure determined.
Inside the Zixiao Palace, the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Lao Tzu and Primordial's faces were ashen. They didn't expect Tongtian to be so stubborn, openly disobeying the teacher's orders, and completely breaking up with them.
Hongjun was sitting on the cloud bed. There was no emotion on his face regarding Tongtian's departure, as if he had already expected it.
He looked at the remaining Western Saints and said calmly.
"Since Tongtian is unwilling, I will let you and other Westerners settle in Heavenly Court to help Di Jun and Tai Yi stabilize Grand Formation of the Stars and resist Witch Race. We will ensure that the fate of the two Lich clans can be restored to balance."
"Follow the teacher's instructions!"
Lao Tzu, Primordial, Jieyin, Zhunti responded in unison.
