A Startling Transformation: Primordial Lord, Your Third Brother Says Your Perspective Is Too Narrow

Jieyin's formerly dim gaze suddenly brightened. He began deducing nonstop, the laws of the Sage churning endlessly around him as he verified what Zhunti had said.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, his gaze resolute. "There is great potential in this matter!"

He made up his mind.

The fortune of the Western Teachings was constantly declining. If they wanted to flourish, their only chance now lay in the position of Human Emperor Sage Teacher—and that position should originally have belonged to the Two Sages of the West.

Even if the Three Pure Ones refused, there was now a way forward. Naturally, they would not let it pass. Even if they had to take a dangerous gamble, the West would fight for it!

"Good."

A smile spread across Zhunti's face.

Afterward, he ordered Maitreya to lead several hundred Buddhist Gate Venerables to the Jiu Li Tribe among humanity.

He had chosen this candidate after careful deliberation.

Although the West was barren and had few disciples bearing great fortune, its lineage had nevertheless endured for a long time, and it still had quite a few disciples.

For example, Medicine Buddha, the Five Directional Buddhas, Sunlight Bodhisattva, Moonlight Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva...

All of them possessed great fortune.

However, the one he valued most was the Future Buddha, Maitreya. His fortune was immense, and his capacity was vast!

If there were a Human Sage Teacher position, one of them would certainly belong to him.

And the Jiu Li Tribe was precisely the target of his scheme.

One had to know that although the Jiu Li Tribe belonged to humanity, it could also be considered a Witch tribe.

After the decisive battle between the Witches and Demons, the Witch tribe declined. The surviving Witches intermarried with humans.

Their offspring were Human-Witch hybrids, and these Human-Witch hybrids gathered together to form the Jiu Li Tribe.

As a result, this tribe possessed both human blood and Witch blood, and it refused to submit to the Human Emperor.

That was precisely how the Two Sages of the West had found an opening!

At the same time, Daoist Duobao, like Guangchengzi and Xuandu in the past, arrived at the Youxiong Tribe, took Xuanyuan Clan away, and began teaching him.

Sixteen years passed in the blink of an eye for Daoist Duobao.

Afterward, Daoist Duobao had Xuanyuan Clan return to humanity to shoulder another mission.

After Xuanyuan Clan returned to humanity, he immediately received great attention from the human race.

The leader of the Youxiong Tribe promptly handed the position of leader over to Xuanyuan Clan.

After Xuanyuan Clan became the leader of the Youxiong Tribe, he began his mission.

Over the course of a thousand years, Xuanyuan Clan's prestige and acclaim among the human tribes reached their peak.

However, Xuanyuan Clan acted aggressively and liked to stop war with war, which conflicted with Shennong Clan's ideals.

As a result, Shennong Clan delayed passing the position of clan leader to Xuanyuan Clan.

Xuanyuan Clan finally could not bear it any longer. He was the first to provoke a war with Shennong Clan, and the Battle of Banquan erupted.

Neither of them personally took action.

However, Xuanyuan Clan received the aid of the Queen Mother of the West's disciple, Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, and obtained the way of military formations.

In the end, Xuanyuan Clan emerged victorious. Shennong Clan sensed something in the depths of the unseen and realized that he and Fuxi Clan had handled affairs too gently, making them clan leaders suited to governing an era.

They could only lead the entire tribe through prestige.

But they could not truly unite all of humanity as one.

Shennong Clan immediately understood the will of Heaven. Only unification could make everyone work toward the same goal.

His and Fuxi Clan's mission was to revive humanity and govern the world.

Xuanyuan Clan's mission, however, was unification—to unite every human tribe and achieve total solidarity!

Thus, Shennong passed the position of clan leader to Xuanyuan Clan.

Xuanyuan Clan should have gone to Mount Tai to perform the Fengshan sacrifice and inherit the Kongtong Seal, but he did not go.

He knew his mission: to unify humanity!

Until humanity was unified, he would never perform the Fengshan sacrifice!

He then launched a war to unify the human tribes.

He successively defeated countless human tribes.

Several years passed, and only one tribe remained ununified.

That was the Jiu Li Tribe!

The current leader of the Jiu Li Tribe was the Human-Witch hybrid Chiyou. With the aid of the Western Teachings, the tribe grew increasingly powerful. Because of his unusual bloodline, he had even united the surviving forces of the Witch tribe.

Xing Tian, once the Witch tribe's God of War, had already appeared within the Jiu Li Tribe.

The increasingly powerful Jiu Li Tribe also made Xuanyuan Clan feel threatened.

Shennong Clan and Fuxi Clan did not interfere. They knew this was Xuanyuan Clan's mission, and he had to complete it himself.

In the end, Xuanyuan Clan had no choice but to send a voice transmission to Duobao.

Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.

Daoist Duobao reverently entered the main hall. Looking at Sovereign Lord of the Heavens seated at the head, he respectfully spoke and recounted everything concerning the Jiu Li Tribe.

"Maitreya is the Future Buddha of the West and possesses the strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. With the aid of the former Witches and Great Witch Xing Tian stationed there, it is only reasonable that Xuanyuan Clan would have difficulty winning alone."

"But the Western Teachings actually dare to interfere in the matter of the Human Emperor Sage Teacher. They have completely forgotten my warning from before!"

A trace of anger surfaced on Tongtian's eternally unchanging expression.

How long had it been since he last warned the West?

Yet the Two Sages of the West had actually refused to repent. They truly never learned their lesson!

He had initially intended to go straight to the West and give the Two Sages of the West a thorough lesson.

But before he could leave the Jade Palace, he stopped.

By now, he had seen the truth clearly. Merely issuing warnings meant nothing to the Two Sages of the West; they did not take him seriously at all.

It seemed he needed to think of another method and make the Two Sages of the West completely abandon their designs on the Human Emperor Sage Teacher!

Afterward, he sent a voice transmission directly to Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality and Primordial Lord of Heaven.

In the past, he would have sought out Primordial Lord of Heaven at most. But things were different now; he could sense that Primordial Lord had let go of the prejudice in his heart.

At the end of the day, they were brothers.

Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.

Primordial Lord of Heaven, who had been cultivating, heard Tongtian's voice transmission and slowly awoke from his meditation.

A matter to discuss?

Primordial Lord was momentarily stunned.

It was not because something had happened, but because of Tongtian's attitude.

He could clearly sense that after he let go of his prejudice against the disciples of the Interception Sect, his relationship with Tongtian had undergone a subtle change.

For example, Tongtian seeking him out to discuss a matter now was proof of that.

If their relationship were still as it had been in the past...

Forget discussing matters with him—even meeting without arguing would have been a blessing.

Primordial Lord did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he first performed a deduction to determine what had happened.

Afterward, he learned of the current situation of the Jiu Li Tribe among humanity.

"Those Western Teachings truly refuse to repent!"

"This time, I must teach you a lesson!"

Primordial Lord was furious.

The Two Sages of the West had provoked the Three Pure Ones again and again, completely treating his warnings as if they were nothing but wind in their ears!

Before he could go to the Jade Palace and discuss the matter with Tongtian,

a system notification rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Please choose.]

[1. Discuss this matter together with the Three Pure Ones, maintain the relationship between the Three Pure Ones. Reward: Chaos Great Dao Demon God Foundation, Heavenly Dao Level Divine Ability: Chaos Heaven Intercepting Finger!]

[2. Refuse to go to the Jade Palace and ignore Tongtian. Reward: Innate Supreme Treasure: Chaos Five Elements Yin Yang Ruler, Primordial Violet Qi ×10, Heavenly Dao Level Divine Ability!]

Chaos Great Dao Demon God Foundation!

One had to know that the Three Pure Ones had all been transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Although their foundations were innate, they still fell far short of a Great Dao Demon God Foundation.

The Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods of the Great Wilderness had been born within the Great Dao. As long as the Great Dao remained undying, their true spirits would not perish. They were born as Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial Unity!

They stood on a level far above innate foundations.

The other divine ability also shocked Primordial Lord greatly.

Above the Primordial Unity was the Heavenly Dao Realm. Without entering the Heavenly Dao Realm, how could one glimpse its magnificence?

Yet with this divine ability, one could wield the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm with the strength of the Primordial Unity!

It surpassed every divine ability in the current Great Wilderness!

This reward...

It was simply far too generous!

Although the second reward was also good, he possessed the Chaos Pearl. Did he still lack an Innate Supreme Treasure?

Moreover, with the Chaos Shore Flower he had obtained earlier, he could naturally nurture Primordial Violet Qi. Although being directly given ten strands was impressive, compared with the first option's reward, it still paled considerably.

Primordial Lord looked at the system panel.

He had already made his decision.

As a member of the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian is my third brother. He is seeking me out to discuss a matter—would I really care about the reward?

Rewards and such have never mattered to me, so... I choose...
