"Stop fighting, stop fighting! We admit defeat!"
"We guarantee that we'll leave immediately and won't trouble Fuxi again!"
Zhunti and Jieyin begged for mercy one after another.
They really couldn't win.
Especially Primordial Lord. Innate Supreme Treasures emerged one after another from his hands. Even Jieyin had been careless enough to be grazed by the Pangu Banner, causing his physical body to explode and leaving behind only his primordial spirit.
Moreover, they had sensed the aura of the God-Slaying Spear on Primordial Lord. This was an unparalleled treasure capable of injuring a Saint's primordial spirit!
Having one's physical body beheaded was a minor matter. It could be reconstructed after being nourished for some time.
But if the primordial spirit was injured, the foundation itself would be damaged. Even a Saint would need countless years to recover.
There was even a possibility of falling under the God-Slaying Spear!
One had to know that during the ancient Dao-Devil War, Demon Ancestor Rahu had relied on the God-Slaying Spear to massacre all sides.
Ancestor of Upside Down, Yin-Yang Ancestor... How many supreme existences had fallen?
The power of the God-Slaying Spear was clearly terrifying beyond measure!
What shocked them even more was that the God-Slaying Spear had disappeared for countless years. How had it ended up in Primordial Lord's hands?!
At this moment, Primordial Lord held the Pangu Banner. Before he could continue attacking, system notification sounds rang out in his mind one after another.
[Ding! Selection successful.] [Reward: Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, Human Dao Supreme Treasure: Human Dao Seal!]
The rewards had arrived!
Primordial Lord's heart stirred slightly.
Immediately afterward, he saw a black lotus appear in the System Space, its dense aura of slaughter spreading throughout the entire space.
This was transformed from a lotus seed left behind after the Creation Green Lotus disintegrated.
It had once displayed astonishing might during the Dao-Devil War. Not only was its defense incredible, it could also absorb violent auras. Once brought out, it could disrupt the mind and injure a Saint's soul!
This was truly an excellent treasure!
The other treasure was a square golden seal, resembling the jade imperial seal of a mortal emperor.
It was wrapped in an intense aura of the Human Dao. From within it, one could almost see all the humans under heaven, as well as its connection to the fortune of the entire human race.
"This treasure seems to be usable for establishing the Human Dao!"
Primordial Lord's heart stirred slightly.
The Human Dao was not of much use to him.
He cultivated the Primordial Chaos Dao Integration Art. In the future, he would inevitably transcend the Heavenly Dao, merge with the myriad Daos of the heavens, and become an existence that formed his own Dao!
The Human Dao was far too limited.
However, Primordial Lord had already made plans in his heart.
Although he had no use for it, there was someone who could use it!
For now, though, he first needed to deal with Zhunti and Jieyin.
Primordial Lord stood on empty space with his hands behind his back. His expression was indifferent as he looked at the two of them. "You bullied my disciple and damaged the reputation of the Three Pure Ones. Do you think a single apology is enough for you to leave?!"
Zhunti and Jieyin were stunned, their expressions turning solemn.
"Then say it plainly. What will it take for you to let the two of us leave?"
Jieyin took a deep breath.
"You two attacked my disciple and damaged the reputation of the Three Pure Ones, causing outsiders to look down on the three of us. Wouldn't that mean that everyone will want to step on us three brothers in the future?"
Primordial Lord spoke slowly, making the matter sound increasingly serious.
Jieyin felt that something was wrong.
Primordial Lord had probably developed some ulterior motive!
Zhunti was even more indignant.
Damaged the reputation of the Three Pure Ones?
Who the hell dared to provoke the Three Pure Ones?
I merely came at the Dao Ancestor's order to take Fuxi to Fire Cloud Cave and seek some merit for the West.
And what happened?
I didn't obtain any merit.
My own physical body had been blasted apart!
Who had I offended?
This Saint was so aggrieved!
Before the two of them could speak, Primordial Lord slowly said, "Since you two now wish to leave, that's simple. Send over a hundred or so supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, and this matter will be settled."
???
As soon as these words were spoken, Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality and Tongtian looked at Primordial Lord with strange expressions.
Was this really Primordial Lord?
Extorting the Two Sages of the West in public, and demanding a hundred or so supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Roots right off the bat—how did this look anything other than like the behavior of a "bandit"...
The Two Sages of the West also underwent a drastic change in expression, their bodies trembling faintly with anger.
A hundred or so supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Roots?
Did he think they were weeds?
Even if they moved the entire Western Heaven away, they still couldn't produce so many Innate Spiritual Roots!
After all, Western Heaven was far too poor.
It couldn't compare with the blessed and beautiful Eastern Land.
"Supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Roots aren't cabbages! Where would we get so many?!"
Jieyin said with an ugly expression.
This was simply extortion!
Daring to extort a Saint—Primordial Lord's behavior was unprecedented!
Yet they had no choice but to give in.
They could also see that although Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality and Tongtian had strange expressions, neither of them stopped him. Clearly, they tacitly approved of Primordial Lord's actions.
If they refused?
Then they would definitely have to keep taking a beating!
They might even fall here today!
"If you don't have them, why are you negotiating?"
Primordial Lord's expression changed as well. He brought out the Pangu Banner that he had just put away once more, a "friendly" smile appearing on his face.
Jieyin's heart went cold. He hurriedly retreated a step and said with a pained expression, "The spiritual veins of the West are barren. We truly don't have a hundred or so supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Roots."
"However, we can produce three high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots."
Ever since the spiritual veins of the West had been detonated, the West had been a barren land.
The two of them were famously poor. Even these three roots would cause them heartache for countless years.
"Three? Are you trying to fob off a beggar? Who are you looking down on?"
Primordial Lord was displeased. "Ten."
"Six!"
Jieyin spoke even more painfully. Afterward, he added, "We truly can't give any more. The West is too poor."
Primordial Lord looked at Zhunti and Jieyin.
Especially Jieyin. His already sorrowful expression now looked even worse than if he were crying.
After all, Primordial Lord knew that Western Heaven truly was poor.
Six high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots had already damaged the foundation of Western Heaven.
After all, these were Innate Spiritual Roots, not cabbages.
Ever since Great God Pangu created the world, every Innate Spiritual Root that was used was one less. By the time of the Witch-Demon Calamity, they had already become extremely scarce.
Primordial Lord's gaze shifted slightly.
Six could barely do.
He could put them into the Chaos Pearl to improve its quality.
Then he said directly, "Take out the Innate Spiritual Roots first. Otherwise, not one of you will be leaving today!"
Primordial Lord held the Pangu Banner, looking incomparably imposing.
Zhunti and Jieyin wore pained expressions as they hurriedly sent over six high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots before leaving the human tribe.
Not only had they failed to obtain merit, but the already impoverished West had suffered another blow!
Primordial Lord looked at the six Innate Spiritual Roots in his hands, divided them into three portions, and sent them before Tongtian and Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality. "Elder Brother, Third Brother, these are the compensation the Two Sages of the West gave the Three Pure Ones. We'll each take two."
"Second Brother, the three of us are bound by blood. Since Zhunti and Jieyin damaged the reputation of the Three Pure Ones, it's only natural for us to take action."
Although Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality said this, his hands were not slow in the slightest. He directly put the roots away.
These were Innate Spiritual Roots. Who would complain about having too many?
"Elder Brother is right. Zhunti and Jieyin are simply despicable. I already disliked them when we were at the Palace of Empress Nuwa."
Tongtian wore a smile and directly put away the Innate Spiritual Roots.
Primordial Lord did not mind.
The three of them exchanged a few more casual words before returning to their respective daoist abodes.
As soon as Primordial Lord returned to Jade Void Palace, he took out the Human Dao Seal. His eyes shone brightly, and he had already made plans in his heart.
Now, he also had to make plans for the Human Dao.
Everything was for the future Unification of the Three Teachings!
