Explosive! Why Would Tongtian Intervene?

As expected of Daoist Zhunti, the most shameless man in the Primordial World. His acting had completely fooled the great powers of Purple Cloud Palace.

Fooled?

Acting!

So Daoist Zhunti had been pretending all along?

The Three Pure Ones felt as though their worldview had been utterly overturned.

They could hardly imagine a great power of their own realm doing something so humiliating, only for it to turn out to be an act.

Daoist Zhunti truly was cunning. After crying like this, he would surely take advantage of the situation and kneel before Red Cloud, that habitual nice guy.

You cultivate the Karma Great Dao, so you must be especially skilled at reversing cause and effect.

Poor Red Cloud had no idea he was about to be exploited and lose his Sagehood entirely.

But there was nothing to be done. Hongjun, who was giving them lectures, owed the West karma and had to give up this Sagehood for you. In that case, you could only count yourself unlucky.

Hongjun had also played a part in blowing up the Western Spiritual Veins...

Hongjun really was something else. If he truly wanted to repay this karma, he could have generously given it to the Western Duo. Why go through all this scheming...

The Karma Great Dao?

The law of the Karma Great Dao, also ranked among the top ten of the three thousand Great Daos?

Upper Pure Tongtian was closest to Daoist Zhunti, who was currently weeping and wailing. His sword-like brows rose slightly as he glanced over, and sure enough, he detected a faint, nearly imperceptible aura of karma around Daoist Zhunti.

Nuwa cultivating the laws of the Dao of Creation had already surprised them enough.

Now, Daoist Zhunti's Karma Great Dao surprised them even more.

Judging purely by the rankings of Great Dao laws, the Karma Great Dao even ranked above the Dao of Creation.

They had thought Daoist Zhunti had truly endured great hardship to cross Chaos.

Now, it seemed that was not entirely the case.

Of course.

Aside from being surprised that Daoist Zhunti cultivated the Karma Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones' hearts pounded even harder at another secret they had heard.

Hongjun, who had already attained Sagehood, had once blown up the Western Spiritual Veins and even incurred karma with the West because of it.

This was something they had never known.

Still.

This secret did not sound false.

To destroy the Western Spiritual Veins in their entirety was not something an ordinary great power with insufficient cultivation could accomplish.

Just as the Three Pure Ones were speculating about Hongjun, who had yet to appear, Daoist Zhunti, who had been crying moments ago, suddenly bowed to Red Cloud.

"Fellow Daoist, please pity us martial brothers and give us this seat!"

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Daoist Zhunti truly was treacherous.

Every being seated on the Prayer Mats possessed a steadfast Dao heart. None of them would have their Dao hearts shaken by this, nor would they be affected by karma.

Only Red Cloud, that habitual nice guy, could be bullied.

Poor Red Cloud. You would give him the Sage Meditation Cushion now, but when you later died, he would want to evade the karma and let you die, watching helplessly as your body and Dao perished.

Wasn't this simply bullying an honest man?

Heh, if I had the strength, I could help you out now. Unfortunately, this young lady is just a nobody and cannot help you at all.

The Primordial World was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

A nice guy like Red Cloud was naturally prone to suffering losses.

Zhou Qingqing was not some saintly savior. Without the ability to do so, she naturally would not save an unfamiliar cultivator.

Even knowing that Red Cloud was being plotted against changed nothing.

Still.

She truly could not stand Daoist Zhunti's shameless conduct, but all she could do was despise him.

It was bound to happen that Red Cloud would give up his seat. Hongjun's scheme was involved, and interfering carelessly would only make matters extremely complicated.

Upper Pure Tongtian's brows relaxed slightly.

From his disciple's inner thoughts, he had more or less understood what was about to happen.

Red Cloud Ancestor had received a rather favorable evaluation in his disciple's heart. He was not some sinister villain.

And now.

Red Cloud was about to lose his opportunity for Sagehood because of Daoist Zhunti's pretentiousness and Karmic Threads.

It would have been one thing if Tongtian had not known, but now that he did, he could not possibly allow something so absurd to happen.

Daoist Zhunti wept falsely while observing Red Cloud Ancestor's expression.

The moment he had arrived before the Prayer Mats, he had already selected his target.

The Daoists seated on the first three Prayer Mats had interconnected fortunes and could not be provoked.

Nuwa, seated in the middle, was a female cultivator. Since she could occupy a place here, she was naturally not someone to be trifled with.

The easiest target was Red Cloud, whose face was gentle and whose body emanated a kind aura.

After choosing his target, he immediately bowed to Red Cloud.

This bow contained karma. If Red Cloud Ancestor felt compassion, he would inevitably be controlled by his karma and willingly surrender his seat.

His estimation was correct.

Red Cloud Ancestor, who radiated a gentle aura, indeed seemed moved by him. He began to rise, intending to give him the Prayer Mat.

However, just when he thought success was assured, a cold voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.

"Fellow Daoist, if you want Red Cloud to give up his Prayer Mat, simply ask. Why resort to such underhanded tactics? How dishonorable!"

Hm?

Daoist Zhunti froze slightly.

The next moment, he felt a sharp sword aura shoot toward him from the front. With a single slash, it severed the nearly imperceptible Karmic Threads he had cultivated.

"This is..."

The cultivators of Purple Cloud Palace all came to their senses.

So Daoist Zhunti had not been crying over seeking the Dao at all. He had secretly acted to seize Red Cloud's Prayer Mat for himself.

Red Cloud Ancestor was also completely bewildered.

He really had just entertained the thought of giving his Prayer Mat to Daoist Zhunti.

He had never expected it to be Daoist Zhunti's secret doing.

He indeed had the temperament of a nice guy, but this Prayer Mat had been secured for him with the help of his friend Zhen Yuanzi. How could he casually give it away?

If Upper Pure Tongtian had not intervened, he would have surrendered the Prayer Mat before realizing what was happening. How would he explain that to his friend Zhen Yuanzi, who had helped him?

Cold sweat broke out on Red Cloud Ancestor's brow as lingering fear filled his heart.

Daoist Zhunti's face reddened slightly. He had never expected Upper Pure Tongtian to see through his little trick so directly, much less destroy it outright. For a moment, he was dumbfounded.

Ha, Third Master actually stepped in to stop Daoist Zhunti?

I knew nothing about this part at all.

Zhou Qingqing had never expected her Third Master, Tongtian, to act at this moment, but she thoroughly approved of his intervention.

Third Master had an upright temperament and was as sharp as a sword. Since he had noticed the power of karma, it was indeed possible that he would act.

Still, it was good that he acted. The Two Sages of the West would become enemies with Third Master in the future anyway, so it was not bad to disgust Daoist Zhunti early on.

Zhou Qingqing could not help cheering inwardly.

Tongtian raised his brows slightly. He had indeed acted because he could not stand Daoist Zhunti's shameless behavior, but he had not expected that, according to his disciple, Daoist Zhunti would become his enemy in the future.

That was unexpected.

It seemed his intervention had been the right choice. Thinking of this, he felt slightly pleased and in rather good spirits.
