"Stop fighting, stop fighting, we surrender!"

"We promise to leave right now and never trouble Fuxi again!"

Zhunti and Jieyin begged for mercy one after another.

They simply couldn't win.

Especially Primordial Lord, who kept bringing out Innate Supreme Treasures. Jieyin himself was accidentally grazed by the Pangu Banner, causing his physical body to explode, leaving only his Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, they sensed the aura of the God-Slaying Spear on Primordial Lord. This was a supreme treasure capable of harming a Saint's Primordial Spirit!

Losing one's physical body was a minor issue; it could be reformed with time and nurturing.

However, if the Primordial Spirit was injured, it would be a fundamental damage that even a Saint would take countless years to recover from.

There was even a possibility of perishing under the God-Slaying Spear!

One had to remember that during the ancient conflict between the Dao and Demon factions, Demon Ancestor Rahu had used the God-Slaying Spear to slaughter indiscriminately.

Ancestor of Upside Down, Ancestor of Yin-Yang... and many other supreme beings had all perished.

This showed the terrifying power of the God-Slaying Spear!

What shocked them even more was that the God-Slaying Spear had been missing for an immeasurable amount of time. How did it fall into Primordial Lord's hands?!

At this moment, Primordial Lord, holding the Pangu Banner, didn't give them a chance to react further.

System prompts sounded one after another in his mind.

[Ding! Choice 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, he saw a black lotus appear in the System Space, its dense aura of slaughter permeating the entire space.

This was formed from a lotus seed after the ancient Creation Green Lotus disintegrated.

It had shone brilliantly during the Dao-Demon conflict. Not only was its defense astonishing, but it could also absorb violent energy. Once deployed, it could disrupt one's mind and harm a Saint's soul!

This was truly a good treasure!

The other item was a square golden seal, resembling the imperial seals of mortal emperors.

It was enveloped in a dense Human Dao aura, and within it, one could seemingly see all the humans in the world and their Destiny intertwined.

"This treasure seems like it can be used to establish the Human Dao!"

Primordial Lord's heart moved.

The Human Dao held little use for him.

He cultivated the Primordial Chaos Dao Integration Art, and in the future, he was destined to transcend the Heavenly Dao, merge with all the myriad Daos, and become a being who created his own Dao!

The Human Dao was too restrictive.

However, Primordial Lord already had a plan in mind.

Even if he couldn't use it, someone else could!

But for now, he needed to deal with Zhunti and Jieyin first.

Primordial Lord stood in the air, hands behind his back, his expression indifferent as he looked at the two: "You attacked my disciple and disgraced my Three Pure Ones. Do you expect to leave with just an apology?!"

Zhunti and Jieyin were stunned, their expressions grave.

"Then tell us clearly, what do you want before you'll let us leave?"

Jieyin took a deep breath.

"You two attacked my disciple and disgraced my Three Pure Ones, making outsiders look down on my three brothers. If this continues, won't everyone start stepping on us?" Primordial Lord said slowly, making the matter sound increasingly serious.

Jieyin felt a sense of foreboding.

Primordial Lord was likely hatching some devious plan!

Zhunti, on the other hand, looked indignant.

Disgraced the Three Pure Ones?

Who the hell dared to touch the Three Pure Ones?

I was merely acting under the Dao Ancestor's command to escort Fuxi to Fire Cloud Cave and seek some Merit for the West.

And what happened?

No Merit was gained, and my physical body was blown to bits!

Who did I even offend?

This Saint is extremely wronged!

Before the two could speak, they heard Primordial Lord say leisurely, "Since you two wish to leave now, it's simple. Hand over a thousand or a hundred top-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 both looked at Primordial Lord with strange expressions.

Was this still Primordial Lord?

Extorting the Two Sages of the West in public, and asking for a thousand or a hundred top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots right off the bat, how could this not look like "thuggish" behavior...

The faces of the Two Sages of the West also changed drastically, their bodies trembling with anger.

A thousand or a hundred top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots?

Did he think they were weeds?

Even if they took the entire Western Heaven, they couldn't produce so many Innate Spiritual Roots!

After all, the Western Heaven was too poor.

It couldn't compare to the spiritually rich East at all.

"Top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots aren't cabbage, how could we have so many?!"

Jieyin said with a pained expression.

This was simply extortion!

To dare extort Saints! This behavior of Primordial Lord was truly unprecedented!

Yet, they couldn't refuse.

They could also see that although Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality and Tongtian had strange expressions, they didn't stop him, clearly tacitly approving of Primordial Lord's actions.

Refuse?

Then they would definitely continue to be beaten!

Perhaps they would even fall here today!

"If you don't have them, what are we talking about?"

Primordial Lord's expression also changed. The Pangu Banner he had just put away was summoned again, and a "friendly" smile appeared on his face.

Jieyin's heart pounded. He quickly took a step back and said with a pained expression, "Our Western spiritual meridians are barren. We truly don't have a thousand or a hundred top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots."

"However, we can offer three high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots."

Ever since the Western spiritual vein exploded, the West had been a barren land.

The two were known for being poor. These three plants alone would make them ache for countless years.

"Three plants? Are you trying to beg for scraps? Who do you think you're looking down on?"

Primordial Lord said with displeasure, "Ten plants."

"Six plants!"

Jieyin said, his heart aching even more. After saying that, he added, "We really don't have any more. The West is too poor."

Primordial Lord looked at Zhunti and Jieyin.

Especially Jieyin, whose already sorrowful expression looked even worse than crying at this moment.

After all, Primordial Lord also knew that the Western Heaven was truly poor.

Six high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots had already damaged the foundation of the Western Heaven.

After all, these were Innate Spiritual Roots, not common cabbage.

Since Great God Pangu created the heavens and earth, Innate Spiritual Roots were one less each time they were used. By the time of the Witch-Demon Calamity, they were already extremely scarce.

Primordial Lord's gaze shifted slightly.

Six plants were barely acceptable.

He could just throw them into the Chaos Pearl to improve their quality.

Then, he directly said, "Hand over the Innate Spiritual Roots first, otherwise, neither of you will leave today!"

Primordial Lord held the Pangu Banner, exuding great dominance.

Zhunti and Jieyin, their hearts aching, quickly handed over the six high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots and left the Human Race tribe.

Not only did they not gain any Merit, but the already poor Western Heaven suffered another blow!

Primordial Lord looked at the six Innate Spiritual Roots in his hand. He directly divided them into three portions and presented them to Tongtian and Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality: "Eldest Brother, Third Brother, this is the apology gift from the Two Sages of the West to us Three Pure Ones. Each of us gets two."

"Second Brother, our three brothers are bound by blood. Zhunti and Jieyin disgraced us Three Pure Ones, so it was natural for us to act."

Although Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality said this, his hands moved swiftly, and he directly put them away.

These were Innate Spiritual Roots, who would dislike having more?

"Eldest Brother is right. Zhunti and Jieyin are simply scum. I've disliked them since the Palace of Empress Nuwa."

Tongtian said with a smile, directly putting away the Innate Spiritual Roots.

Primordial Lord didn't pay it any mind.

After the three of them chatted casually for a few more sentences, they returned to their respective dojos.

As soon as Primordial Lord returned to Jade Void Palace, he took out the Human Dao Seal. His eyes shone brilliantly, and he already had a plan in mind.

Now, it was time to plan for the Human Dao as well.

Everything was for the future Unification of the Three Teachings!
