As Primordial Lord sent Guangchengzi to the human race.
A system notification rang out in his mind.
[ Ding! Selection successful. ]
[ Reward: Heavenly Mystery Compass, Earthly Dao Divine Wheel! ]
Immediately afterward, Primordial Lord saw a palm-sized, square purple-gold compass emerge.
The aura of the Great Dao swirled around it, filled with endless mysteries and wrapped in countless Dao Rhymes.
He already knew the function of the Heavenly Mystery Compass from the system.
It could block the Heavenly Dao and deduce the secrets of heaven!
Although Primordial Lord already possessed the Chaos Pearl and was himself a Saint who understood all things in existence,
the Heavenly Mystery Compass was by no means useless.
With the Heavenly Mystery Compass, what could be deduced was not all things in the Great Wilderness, but the Great Dao itself!
In other words, this was a supreme treasure capable of enhancing one's comprehension of the Great Dao!
After proving the Primordial Unity, cultivation was no longer about accumulating magical power, but about comprehending the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao.
The Great Dao was difficult to seek, which also meant that advancing even one minor realm among Saints required countless years of accumulation.
Yet the Heavenly Mystery Compass could deduce the Great Dao. Its extraordinary nature was obvious!
Primordial Lord activated it with his magical power. With only a slight deduction, he could feel that his cultivation speed had doubled compared with before!
"The Heavenly Mystery Compass is indeed a good thing. It can even conceal the secrets of heaven during deductions, keeping the Heavenly Dao from noticing. Excellent."
Primordial Lord was overjoyed.
With the Heavenly Mystery Compass, his cultivation speed would increase tremendously.
Reaching the Seventh Heaven of Sainthood was just a matter of time!
Only then did he turn his gaze to the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel.
It was a circular divine wheel divided between black and white, resembling a Taiji Diagram.
It contained an intense aura of reincarnation Dao Rhyme. It seemed one could see the changes of all things within it: a living being's birth, its slow journey through life, its eventual return to nothingness, and then its rebirth.
"As expected of a supreme treasure of the Earthly Dao. Perhaps I can use it to make some plans for the underworld!"
As Primordial Lord looked at the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel, he already had a plan in mind.
Among the Saints of the myriad heavens, if one asked who suffered the greatest restrictions,
the answer would certainly be Saint Pingxin!
In the past, Houtu had transformed into reincarnation and taken the title Saint Pingxin. She should have proven the position of an Earthly Dao Saint. However, because the Heavenly Dao was powerful and suppressed the Earthly Dao, Houtu's Saint position had ultimately become neither one thing nor another under the Heavenly Dao's schemes. She had even been imprisoned forever in the depths of reincarnation, unable to leave unless a great calamity arrived and heaven and earth shattered.
Such a situation was far too tragic, even for a Saint.
But if he gave her an opportunity and allowed her the possibility of leaving the underworld...
The result was self-evident!
"Now that I have allied with Nüwa, if I add Pingxin, then in the future, with the Unification of the Three Teachings and the establishment of the Dao Sect, there will be five Saints in one school. Tell me, who in this Great Wilderness could stand against us?!"
Primordial Lord was agitated.
Everything was for the future Unification of the Three Teachings!
But he also knew that winning over Pingxin would not be so simple. He still needed to plan carefully.
At the same time, in a human tribe.
Grand Master Xuandu descended from the heavens with an indifferent expression.
Shennong hurried forward and saluted as a disciple. "This disciple greets Master!"
The teacher of the Earthly Emperor!
An immortal!
As Shennong respectfully paid his respects, the many tribespeople recognized Xuandu's identity and worshiped him.
Xuandu's expression was cold. Looking at Shennong, he skipped all pleasantries and got straight to the point. "What happened to your daughter? Tell me in detail."
Although he had learned something while in Eight Sceneries Palace, it had been conveyed by voice transmission, so the information he received was incomplete.
Shennong hurriedly recounted everything he knew to Xuandu in detail.
"How dare the Heavenly Court act like this!"
Xuandu's expression was icy.
He already knew that Nüwa's soul had to be in the hands of the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, Haotian would not have possessed such confidence!
Moreover, the Two Sages of the West had certainly been involved. Otherwise, why would Haotian give the position of the third Sage Teacher to Maitreya of the Western Teachings?
He looked toward the Heavenly Court. "You need not worry about this matter. Leave the rest to me!"
Before he could head to the Heavenly Court to demand an explanation,
he saw a slightly plump Daoist approaching through the sky.
The aura of various magical treasures radiated from his entire body. He was none other than Daoist Duobao of the Interception Sect!
"Brother Xuandu, do not be anxious. I, Duobao, have come to help."
He had come at Tongtian's command.
He also already knew the cause of the matter.
The position of the third Human Emperor's Sage Teacher should have belonged to the Interception Sect, yet the Heavenly Court was now trying to seize it openly.
Did they think the Interception Sect was easy to bully?!
Xuandu looked at Duobao, his expression briefly freezing. "Junior Brother Duobao, you know about this too?"
As the senior disciple-brother of the Human Sect, Xuandu naturally became the senior disciple-brother of the Three Teachings since the Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality was the eldest among the Three Pure Ones.
"Indeed." Duobao nodded. "The Heavenly Court has gone too far. Now that Shennong is already Brother's disciple, he is a disciple of the Human Sect. My Master and Grand Uncle-Master are bound by blood, so Shennong is also my junior nephew. Yet the Heavenly Court and the Western Teachings have acted like this. They are simply looking down on the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Interception Sect!"
"My Master has already gone to Western Heaven, so he sent me to assist Brother. Together, we shall ascend to the Heavenly Court and demand an explanation!"
"Good!"
Before the two could set off for the Heavenly Court,
another voice descended.
"Brothers, do not be anxious. None of us knows Nüwa, so if we go there just like this, we will have no justification for acting. Haotian certainly will not yield."
As the voice faded,
Guangchengzi soon came striding from the direction of Kunlun.
He rapidly closed the distance, every step conforming to the Dao Rhyme, his pace extraordinarily fast.
"Has Guangchengzi reached the Quasi-Saint realm so quickly?!"
Xuandu and Duobao were both startled and somewhat envious.
The last time they had seen Guangchengzi, he had still been a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Now he had become a Quasi-Saint. It seemed that the merit gained from teaching the Human Emperor truly was a great opportunity!
After waiting for Guangchengzi to approach, Xuandu asked, "Could it be that Junior Brother Guangchengzi has a better plan?"
Daoist Duobao also listened quietly.
Their former hostility toward Guangchengzi had disappeared.
After all, their two Masters had recently joined forces to beat the Two Sages of the West. It seemed they were about to reconcile, so as disciples, they naturally would not cause trouble for their Masters.
However, directly shaking hands and making peace with a disciple of the Chan Sect was still beyond him.
But compared with the tense atmosphere of the past, things had improved tremendously.
Guangchengzi got straight to the point. "After a living being dies, its soul should enter reincarnation and fall under the management of the underworld. Now that the Heavenly Court has taken Nüwa's soul, it has already interfered with reincarnation."
"If the underworld learns of this, how could it possibly agree?"
"You must understand that the underworld is Saint Pingxin's Saint's Lineage. Although Saint Pingxin cannot leave the underworld, it is still the genuine Saint's Lineage!"
"If the Western Teachings can ally with the Heavenly Court to scheme for the position of the Human Emperor's Sage Teacher, why can't we assist the underworld?"
"In this way, we can use the opportunity to set things right and restore the name of reincarnation. Then, storming the Heavenly Court would also be justified!"
Xuandu and Duobao pondered for a long while before nodding.
Thus, the three of them said no more and headed straight for the Netherworld Underworld.
The Heavenly Court needed to be taught a lesson too!
