Chan Sect Refuses Again and Again-Even If the Heavens Collapse, Your Master Will Hold Them Up

"Damn it! So much merit, and the Chan Sect took it all. We of the West didn't get a single bit!"

Deep within the boundless Buddha Kingdom of the West.

Zhunti watched as such an enormous amount of merit descended, his teeth grinding audibly.

If not for the Three Pure Ones back then, some of this merit should have gone to the West.

Especially when he thought about how the positions of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would later also go to the Three Pure Ones, while they would not even have a chance to get involved, Zhunti grew even angrier.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the eight positions of Sage Teacher—such an enormous amount of merit had all been taken by the Three Pure Ones.

They were truly bullying the West too much!

"It has already come to this, and even Teacher has tacitly approved it. What can we do?"

Jieyin's face was filled with misery as he let out a heavy sigh, his expression becoming even more sorrowful.

Did he not covet such an enormous amount of merit?

One had to know that this represented more than just merit. It also represented destiny!

If the West obtained such destiny, even if it could not make the impoverished West comparable to the East,

it could still improve matters somewhat.

And for such a harvest, they had only needed to spend more than ten years.

What did a mere ten-plus years count as to them?

It was completely insignificant!

But now, no matter how envious they were, it was useless. The merit had already descended. What could they do?

Zhunti turned his head toward Jieyin and frowned slightly.

"Senior Brother, are we really not going to do anything?"

"What can we do? Even Teacher has already tacitly approved it. Are we supposed to go to the Chan Sect and look for Primordial Lord?"

Jieyin retorted, and Zhunti was instantly rendered speechless.

Not to mention that the relationship between the Three Pure Ones had eased now, if the two of them went to pressure Primordial Lord, the Three Pure Ones would certainly refuse.

Primordial Lord alone was already more than the two of them could deal with.

One had to know that the strength of Sages had never been determined by numbers.

The two of them were both at Saint Triple Heaven.

They were already inferior to Primordial Lord in realm, to say nothing of treasures and the like.

The Western Heaven was impoverished and remote, with no way to compare to Kunlun.

"Could it be that our West can only watch helplessly?"

Zhunti's expression was indignant.

Before he could fall into complete despair,

he suddenly heard a vast divine voice enter the Western Heaven.

"Zhunti, Jieyin, come quickly to the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss a matter."

The voice was ethereal and traceless, as if it were the divine voice of the Heavenly Dao.

Zhunti and Jieyin were instantly overjoyed.

Other than the matter of the Human Emperor, what else could they discuss?

Teacher truly had not abandoned the West!

The two of them immediately stopped hesitating and rushed straight to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun's expression was indifferent, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow. His deep eyes rested on Zhunti and Jieyin, who had just entered the main hall.

"I know that the West is impoverished, and that the eight positions of human Sage Teacher have nothing to do with the West. You are unwilling to accept this, so today I have something for you to do."

"This matter concerns humanity and the Heavenly Dao. If you complete it, you will naturally receive no small amount of merit."

Zhunti and Jieyin were instantly delighted. They hurriedly said, "Please instruct us, Teacher."

Teacher truly had not abandoned the West!

Although they did not know what the matter was, they were both Sages of the Heavenly Dao. What matter could they not accomplish?

Then Hongjun spoke calmly.

"Today, Fuxi of humanity has finished performing the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai and has become the Human Emperor, receiving the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. Because the Human Emperor carries humanity's destiny, nothing can be allowed to happen to him, and he must enter Fire Cloud Cave."

"You two will take my decree and go to humanity to settle this matter."

As Hongjun's voice fell,

Zhunti and Jieyin saw a golden decree descend.

It was brilliant and dazzling, filled with countless profound mysteries. A dense aura of the Heavenly Dao surrounded it, making it impossible to see clearly.

Both of them paused.

As Sages, how could they not understand Hongjun's meaning?

Once he entered Fire Cloud Cave, this Human Emperor would probably never have a chance to emerge again. Like Houtu, the ancestral shaman, he would be placed under house arrest!

But the two of them did not care.

After all, this Human Emperor had nothing to do with the West.

Even if the Human Emperor were placed under house arrest and humanity's destiny were affected, that would affect the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. What did it have to do with their West?

Moreover, the West could gain an opportunity from this. Why would they refuse?

The two of them then took the decree and said respectfully, "This disciple accepts the order."

They immediately left the Purple Cloud Palace and headed for humanity: the Fengyan Tribe.

At the same time.

Fengyan Tribe.

Ever since Fuxi returned from performing the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai and took control of the Kongtong Seal, the tribes of humanity had come to worship him in faith. Thousands upon thousands of tribes honored him together.

Yet deep within the tribe, the Human Emperor Fuxi stood respectfully before a Daoist.

There was no other reason than that this Daoist was Fuxi's teacher: Guangchengzi.

Even though he had already become the Human Emperor, he had never forgotten the rites between teacher and disciple.

"Teacher, have you come today to give me some instruction?"

Fuxi respectfully inquired, performing a disciple's salute.

"I came today to congratulate you on receiving the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and taking control of the Kongtong Seal."

Guangchengzi smiled as he looked at Fuxi, feeling somewhat envious inside.

As expected of the Human Emperor.

He was favored by Heaven's mandate.

He carried humanity's destiny.

In just over twenty years, he had already become a Quasi-Sage!

One had to know how difficult cultivation was in the Great Wilderness. In the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and the Witch-Demon Calamity of old, how many people had reached the Quasi-Sage realm?

Even those Innate Deities had been born as Grand Luo.

To cultivate to the Quasi-Sage realm, they had no idea how many years it had taken.

Yet Fuxi had become a Quasi-Sage in just over twenty years!

Not only that, he had also brought himself immeasurable merit, and even the destiny of the entire Chan Sect had improved somewhat.

I truly took in an excellent disciple.

Before the two could reminisce for long,

they suddenly sensed an extremely vast aura sweeping across the Fengyan Tribe.

The aura was deep and ancient, carrying the majesty of the Heavenly Dao. The instant it appeared, a divine voice resounded.

"Fuxi, I, Jieyin Daoist, and Zhunti Daoist, have come to proclaim the Dao Ancestor's decree."

The Dao Ancestor's decree?

Guangchengzi and Fuxi both paused, somewhat puzzled, and then walked out of the tribe.

Immediately afterward, they saw two figures standing quietly in the sky.

One had a sallow complexion and a thin, emaciated body, with an expression of sorrow covering his face.

The other looked completely different. His belly was round, his complexion ruddy, yet his entire body radiated a sharp metallic aura.

As the two appeared, the majestic aura unique to Sages of the Heavenly Dao swept across the entire human tribe.

Countless living beings wore devout expressions. In their minds, a forbidden figure stood tall, boundlessly majestic, manifesting directly in the depths of their souls.

Zhunti looked at Fuxi. Without any hesitation, he directly opened Hongjun's decree and read its contents.

"Fuxi of humanity has finished performing the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai and has become the Human Emperor, receiving the recognition of the Heavenly Dao."

"Because the Human Emperor carries humanity's destiny, nothing can be allowed to happen to him, and he must enter Fire Cloud Cave."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi was stunned, his expression turning cold.

It sounded good, saying that it was because Fuxi carried humanity's destiny.

But what was the real reason?

They simply wanted to imprison Fuxi!

Just like Houtu, the ancestral shaman, in the past. After transforming into the cycle of reincarnation, she had been eternally suppressed in its depths.

If Fuxi had no connection to him, he naturally would not have bothered.

But Fuxi was now his disciple!

How could he watch Fuxi be imprisoned?

Guangchengzi raised his head and looked at Zhunti and Jieyin. "I am Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect, Fuxi's teacher. Today, I reject this matter on Fuxi's behalf!"

"My disciple refuses to go to Fire Cloud Cave!"
