Scheming: The First Disciples of the Three Pure Ones of the Earthly Dao Enter the Netherworld

"Heavenly Court, how dare it?!"

Shennong was seething with indignation.

By now, he had stopped wondering why Heavenly Court wanted him to identify a Human Emperor Sage Teacher who was a disciple of the Western Teachings.

There was only one thing he cared about now.

His own daughter: Nüwa!

Moreover, he could now be completely certain that the reason his daughter's soul had disappeared was because Heavenly Court had taken it.

"This matter still needs to be discussed with my master!"

He thought of Xuandu.

After all, Xuandu was his master and the only person he could think of at the moment.

As for Fuxi, he had gone into seclusion after stepping down, and even Shennong himself did not know where he was.

Afterward, without the slightest hesitation, he sent Xuandu a voice transmission about Haotian taking Nüwa's soul.

Eight Sceneries Palace.

Xuandu had been sitting beneath Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality, listening to his lecture. When he learned the contents of Shennong's voice transmission, his usually indifferent expression suddenly froze, then revealed a trace of shock and fury.

"Heavenly Court actually dares to do this!"

"Does Haotian really think he's the ruler of the Three Realms?!"

His voice carried anger.

Although he was Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality's disciple and had always followed Non-action, he still could not endure this any longer.

Heavenly Court had not only threatened the Human Emperor and forcibly taken the position of Human Emperor Sage Teacher, but its audacity was simply outrageous!

"Xuandu, what happened?"

Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality stopped his lecture and looked at Xuandu with an indifferent expression, neither sorrowful nor joyful.

Xuandu hurriedly recounted what he had heard from Shennong to Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality.

"Heavenly Court truly has some nerve!"

Even Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality's eternally unchanging expression showed a trace of anger.

Shennong had now taken Xuandu as his master, which meant he was a Third-generation disciple of the Human Sect.

And Heavenly Court had actually bullied him right to their doorstep!

Not only that, Heavenly Court even wanted to take a share of the Human Emperor Sage Teacher position.

It was simply too outrageous!

Who had given Heavenly Court such courage?!

After all, Haotian was merely a quasi-sage. He did not have the nerve to snatch the position of Human Sage Teacher from the Three Pure Ones.

"Master, please calm your anger. This disciple will handle everything properly."

Xuandu spoke respectfully.

Heavenly Court had no saints, so he could deal with it himself.

Otherwise, the Great Wilderness might really think that the Human Sect had no one left!

"There is something suspicious here. Pay attention and find out who is plotting behind Heavenly Court."

Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality spoke leisurely.

In truth, he had already made some deductions.

Other than Heavenly Dao saints, no one else could conceal matters from a saint's deductions!

And Tongtian and Primordial Lord were impossible candidates. Nüwa had no reason to act, either.

That left only the Two Sages of the West!

However, he did not say more. This was also an opportunity to temper his disciple.

After all, their primary target was still Heavenly Court, and this was the perfect opportunity to teach Heavenly Court a lesson.

He would make it understand that even Di Jun in the past had not dared to claim that he ruled the Three Realms. How could a quasi-sage dare to govern a Saint's Lineage?

It had crossed the line!

"This disciple understands!"

Xuandu spoke respectfully, then left Eight Sceneries Palace.

Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.

Sovereign Lord of the Heavens awoke from his cultivation. A trace of shock and fury appeared in his eternally unchanging expression.

"What a Heavenly Court, what a Western Heaven! How dare you join forces to scheme for the Human Emperor Sage Teacher position belonging to my Interception Sect!"

"This is simply too outrageous!"

As a Heavenly Dao saint, Sovereign Lord of the Heavens understood all things and the myriad worlds. His eyes observed the past, present, and future, while his palm could evolve spacetime, destruction, rebirth, and reincarnation.

With only a slight deduction, he had glimpsed the scene of Taibai Jinxing finding Shennong.

They actually dared to scheme for the position of the Third Human Emperor Sage Teacher!

The first Human Emperor belonged to the Chan Sect, the second to the Human Sect, and the third already belonged to his Interception Sect.

What did Heavenly Court mean by interfering at this point?

Did it look down on his Interception Sect?

Moreover, he had discovered something even deeper.

The Two Sages of the West were stirring up trouble in this matter.

Not only did this prevent him from deducing the various affairs of Heavenly Court, but the next Sage Teacher that Taibai Jinxing had mentioned was actually Maitreya of Western Heaven!

Who was Maitreya?

The Future Buddha of Western Heaven!

He was the disciple most highly valued by Zhunti and Jieyin.

If the calculations of the Two Sages of the West were not involved, Sovereign Lord of the Heavens would never believe it!

His expression thundered with fury.

"What a Western Heaven. It seems last time's lesson was not enough. This time, I will absolutely not spare you two!"

He looked toward the west, his gaze deep and profound, as though it could pierce through endless spacetime and see the Two Sages of the West.

Then he spoke directly, his vast voice reverberating throughout Golden Ao Island.

"Duobao, come see me at once!"

Now, it was not only the Western Teachings that needed to be taught a lesson. Heavenly Court could not be let off, either.

After all, the ones who had threatened Shennong from beginning to end were Heavenly Court.

The Western Teachings needed to be punished, and Heavenly Court needed to be struck down as well!

Before long, Sovereign Lord of the Heavens saw Daoist Duobao enter the hall. After giving him a few instructions to teach Heavenly Court a lesson, he left directly for Western Heaven.

Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.

As Primordial Lord was cultivating, a system notification suddenly rang out in his mind.

[ Ding! The system has detected the Two Sages of the West joining forces with Heavenly Court to scheme for the Human Sage Teacher position. Please choose. ]

[1. Turn a blind eye and let matters develop as they will. Reward: 1 acquired spiritual treasure. ]

[2. Dispatch a disciple to the human race to investigate the whole matter, then attack Heavenly Court. Reward: Heavenly Mystery Compass, Earthly Dao supreme treasure: Earthly Dao Divine Wheel! ]

Heavenly Mystery Compass?

Earthly Dao Divine Wheel?

Primordial Lord froze at once.

He had never heard of either of these two treasures, but he could still discern some clues from them.

This Heavenly Mystery Compass should have something to do with deducing the secrets of heaven.

As for this Earthly Dao Divine Wheel, there was no need to think about it. It must be closely related to the Earthly Dao, and it might very well have the same function as the Human Dao Seal.

"Perhaps I can use this treasure to scheme against Saint Pingxin."

Primordial Lord of Heaven muttered to himself.

In the past, Ancestral Shaman Houtu had transformed into reincarnation and taken the title Saint Pingxin.

Although she had been eternally suppressed in the depths of reincarnation, her strength was still unquestionably that of a saint!

If he could obtain her assistance, combined with his current alliance with Nüwa—

When the Three Teachings were unified and the Dao Sect established in the future, how terrifying would it be?!

In the vast Great Wilderness, who could stop the might of his Dao Sect?!

Just thinking about it excited him. Everything was for the sake of a better Dao Sect in the future!

Moreover, Heavenly Court was currently forcing Shennong and reaching for the Human Emperor Sage Teacher position. It had already slapped the Three Pure Ones in the face.

Who in the Great Wilderness did not know that the eight Human Sage Teacher positions had already been decided by the Three Pure Ones?

And Heavenly Court had still dared to act!

Even without the reward, he would still have to teach Heavenly Court a lesson.

Was he the sort of person who cared about rewards? What he cared about was only the dignity of the Three Pure Ones!

Afterward, without the slightest hesitation, he gave Guangchengzi some instructions and sent him to the human tribes to assist Shennong.

On this day, the first disciples of the Human Sect, Chan Sect, and Interception Sect—the Three Pure Ones—stepped out of their respective lineages.
