The Two Sages of the West Find Out and Secretly Sabotage Things Again

At the summit of Spiritual Mountain, deep within the Glazed Treasure Hall.

Jieyin and Zhunti sat on the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform. The Water Mirror Technique before them clearly showed the scene inside the Nourishing Hall of Yue Sheng Palace. When they saw that wisp of milky-white Origin of Reincarnation merge into the array, and the image of Pangu's remnant soul grow solid at a visible pace, even faintly forming a human shape, Zhunti's face instantly turned livid. He slammed a hand against the Lotus Platform and shouted furiously, "Unbelievable! That wretched Houtu actually gave the Origin of Reincarnation to Lin Yue! If Pangu's remnant soul takes on a physical form, our Western Teachings' great plan will be in grave danger!"

The Nine-Rank Golden Lotus beneath them trembled violently, scattering golden Buddha Light across the hall, but it could not conceal the agitation and resentment in Zhunti's heart. He glared at the increasingly solid Pangu phantom in the Water Mirror Technique, a look of madness flashing in his eyes.

Beside him, Jieyin still wore his usual compassionate expression. His eyes were half-closed, his hands pressed together as he silently recited his Buddha Name. But a closer look revealed that his fists were clenched inside his drooping sleeves, his knuckles pale, while the same dark, sinister thoughts as Zhunti's churned deep in his eyes.

"Zhunti, calm yourself." Jieyin slowly opened his eyes. His voice was low and hoarse, with an imperceptible chill. "Though Pangu's remnant soul has formed a phantom, it has yet to stabilize. Its aura may have reached the Quasi-Saint level, but it is like a candle flickering in the wind. The slightest disturbance could make its soul scatter and vanish."

A glint flashed in Zhunti's eyes. He hurriedly asked, "Brother Jieyin, do you mean... we still have a chance?"
