The Two Sages of the West's Past Audacious Moves

Behind these disciples, the Saints themselves saw the miserable state of their disciples but paid it no mind.

After all, in their eyes, as long as their souls weren't scattered and their true spirits weren't shattered, They could all use their respective methods to bring them back.

Did they not see the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, whose Three Flowers on the Crown were shaved and whose Five Qi in the Belly were dispersed by the Three Sisters of Sanxiao using the Nine-Bend Yellow River Great Formation?

Even now, they had largely recovered their former cultivation.

It was just that some residual mana impurity, unstable foundations, and depleted potential remained as consequences.

However, those Saints wouldn't concern themselves with such matters.

What they were focused on now was that Chaos Bell!

That was an Innate Supreme Treasure capable of suppressing Destiny!

They all vividly remembered the time Eastern Emperor Taiyi wielded the Chaos Bell to fight six Ancestral Witches of the same realm without falling behind.

Daoist Zhunti, seated on a cloud bed, spoke first:

"My disciples Maitreya and Golden Cicada are beings born with profound blessings and destiny."

"This time, the Chaos Bell, one of the three treasures of creation, has appeared in the world, and it is destined to be connected with them."

Hearing Daoist Zhunti's shameless words, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face twitched slightly.

He then said without politeness:

"Hmph! The Chaos Bell is a supreme treasure of the East. When did it become fated with your Western Sect disciples?"

"My disciples, the Twelve Golden Immortals, are all true immortals of virtue and fortune, born with deep destiny."

"After this tribulation, the Heavenly Dao rewards this Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, which is only fitting."

Daoist Zhunti heard this, lowered his eyelids, and softly said:

"If that is the case, then it will depend on their individual destinies."

For a moment, the atmosphere between these two Saints became turbulent and unpredictable.

Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, sitting calmly to the side, couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

His second brother's composure was still not quite up to par.

Subsequently, the four Saints seated in the Jade Void Palace stopped speaking.

They continued to pay attention to the disciples struggling through Chaos, seeking opportunities related to the Chaos Bell.

They were always ready to make a move and take the Chaos Bell for their own disciples.

In their eyes, that constantly chiming Chaos Bell was already within their grasp.

At this moment.

Lin Xuan, immersed in his comprehension of the Great Dao, also slowly opened his eyes.

The instant he opened his eyes.

An indescribable Dao charm flashed and disappeared from his eyes.

This enlightenment.

Had brought him immense gains.

Not only did he re-understand the other side of the Great Dao of Strength, allowing his own cultivation to advance further.

His cultivation had progressed from the Hunyuan First Heaven to the Hunyuan Third Heaven.

Even if he wished, he could break through to the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven at any time.

However.

Lin Xuan preferred to solidify each of his realms to an extremely profound level before choosing to break through.

After all, in his opinion, taking each step steadily was the best choice.

Only by laying a deep and solid foundation could the superstructure be built taller.

To give a simple example.

The Two Sages of the West, Zhunti and Jieyin, were typical examples of unstable foundations.

They relied on the Hongmeng Purple Qi bestowed by Hongjun to become Heavenly Dao Saints when their cultivation was far from sufficient.

They could only use Sect Founding Merit to compensate for their cultivation and thus become Saints.

Even more embarrassingly.

When the two of them established the Western Sect, the merit sensed by the Heavenly Dao was not enough to support both of them in becoming Saints.

Out of necessity.

These two could only make the Forty-Eight Great Vows, pre-emptively drawing merit from the Heavenly Dao, and thus become Saints.

To be honest, all beings in the Primordial World at that time were stunned by the shameless operations of these two Saints.

It was the first time they had ever seen such a method.

However, the result of operating like this...

The two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, could be considered the weakest representatives among the Saints.

Their foundations were unstable, and their magical treasures incomplete.

After such a long time since they proved their Dao and became Saints, they had only barely managed to reach the Hunyuan Third Heaven realm.

Even Lin Xuan, the Senior Disciple of the Sect of Interception, had now caught up to their cultivation.

Let alone their combat power.

These two Saints were even entangled by Heavenly Dao karma at this moment.

If they couldn't complete those Forty-Eight Great Vows, their cultivation would be stuck at this level for the rest of their lives.

They might even gradually be controlled by the Heavenly Dao in the future, becoming its puppets.

This was why the Two Sages of the West were so tirelessly involved in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

Their goal was to gain benefits from it, to convert talented individuals from the East into disciples of their Western Sect, and to help them bear karma.

As for Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, they were completely different.

When Primordial Heavenly Venerate proved his Dao and became a Heavenly Dao Saint, his cultivation had already reached the Quasi-Sage peak.

He only needed a bit of Heavenly Dao merit to successfully become a Saint.

His current cultivation was at the Quasi-Sage Fourth Heaven realm. Only by joining forces could Zhunti and Jieyin contend against him.

As for Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, he was the Saint who hid the deepest.

Among the six Saints under Hongjun, his cultivation was the most profound.

He had reached the Hunyuan Fifth Heaven realm, and had even faintly touched the threshold of Hunyuan Sixth Heaven.

In terms of realm alone, he was two heavens above Lin Xuan.

But...

Lin Xuan had comprehended the original laws of the Great Dao of Strength, and also possessed numerous supreme treasures.

Under extreme sublimation, he could fully contend against him.
