Yuanshi: What kind of unique inheritance system is this?

After Jieyin finished his analysis of the pros and cons, Zhunti immediately fell into deep thought.

Previously, he had only been thinking about earning Merit and restoring the Western Teachings.

He hadn't given much thought to Haotian at all.

As a Sage, they could look down on Haotian's origins.

But now, they couldn't deny it.

Haotian was a tough nut to crack.

He laid everything out in the open like that, naturally unafraid of anyone secretly learning from him.

Anyone who learned from him would not only have to share a portion of the Merit with Haotian, but also owe Haotian something in return.

Whether it was Karma or a favor, in short, you would be indebted.

And when Haotian came knocking to settle that Karma, you couldn't do a thing to him.

You'd even have to obediently repay the debt.

After all, who was behind Haotian? The Dao Ancestor.

You could disregard Haotian's face, but you couldn't defy the Dao Ancestor's.

The last one who defied the Dao Ancestor's face?

His ashes were floating who knows where by now.

Did you really think that when the Dao Ancestor stepped in during the second war between the Demon Race and the Witch Clan, he was helping the Demon Race?

Bullshit!

That was entirely him waiting for the Demon Race to pull out their hidden cards, and then using the Witch Clan to completely destroy those cards.

Otherwise, with so many innate beings born in the Demon Race, they would surely have grown to dominate the Primordial World in the future.

And the reason the Dao Ancestor wanted to deal with the Demon Race was simple.

Dijun and Taiyi had defied his face by killing East Prince Gong.

Otherwise, who became the main protagonists of the Primordial World made no difference to him, Hongjun.

Why would he bother staging such a scene?

Would the Demon Race's rise affect the Dao Ancestor's interests?

What could it possibly affect?

All Six Sages of the Primordial World came from the Purple Cloud Palace.

Dijun and Taiyi also came from the Purple Cloud Palace.

And that's it?

How could that affect the interests of him, Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

As for affecting the Dao Ancestor's authority?

Even more impossible!

If you wanted to affect his authority, you'd first have to be stronger than him.

Otherwise, he'd have you figured out in no time.

Thinking about Haotian's complicated situation, Zhunti felt a headache coming on.

Dijun and Taiyi could fail to see the situation clearly, but he, Zhunti, could not.

The Western Teachings had reached its current state

not only by relying on his shamelessness, but also on his eyes that could see the situation clearly.

Otherwise, back at the Purple Cloud Palace, why did he target Hongyun and Kunpeng, instead of going after Taishang and Yuanshi?

It was precisely because he saw the situation clearly that Zhunti knew the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's bottom line regarding Haotian.

You could look down on Haotian, but if you actually made a move against him, whether it was through scheming or directly beating him down, as long as you made the Dao Ancestor Hongjun lose face, then you'd better be ready for the Dao Ancestor's righteous iron fist.

You simply didn't understand the Heavenly Mandate!

This term originally flowed from his mouth.

He, Zhunti, certainly did not wish to be branded by Dao Ancestor Hongjun as one who failed to recognize the will of Heaven.

That would be no different from sticking a price tag on one's own head and offering it for sale.

But looking at the current situation in the West...

If he simply gave up on 'borrowing,' Zhunti naturally could not resign himself to it.

Before seeing hope, Zhunti might have been able to endure.

Even racking his brains, pondering other ways to improve the Western predicament.

But now that hope was right before his eyes, if he let it go just like that...

It would be more agonizing than losing an Innate Supreme Treasure.

After a thorough weighing of pros and cons.

Zhunti spoke with a difficult expression: "Elder Brother!

There is no other way now.

We have pondered for so long, yet still found no solution.

No method that can fundamentally improve the situation in the West.

Now the method is right in front of us. This Younger Brother truly does not wish to miss it.

For the sake of all living beings in the West.

Even if I must endure some grievances, I am willing to bear them."

Seeing that Zhunti had made up his mind, Jieyin nodded and said: "Since Younger Brother has already decided, I, as your elder brother, naturally support you.

Whatever happens, we will bear it together!

Let us begin now, refining that spiritual treasure!"

"Excellent!"

On Mount Sumeru, the Two Sages of the West had made their choice.

On Kunlun Mountain, Primordial Heavenly Venerate was now full of astonishment.

It was because Primordial Heavenly Venerate discovered that even if he were to refine them.

Those Small Bottles would be no stronger than those Haotian had refined.

Especially the fact that within the Acquired Spiritual Treasures, there were actually Innate Dao Restrictions.

This was utterly absurd.

Throughout the entire Primordial World, who did not know that the reason Innate Spiritual Treasures were innate?

A large part of it relied on those unique Innate Dao Restrictions.

Or, to put it more aptly, the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Now what had Haotian done?

That fellow had stuffed Innate Dao Restrictions into Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

And judging by the quantity of those Small Bottles, the Innate Dao Restrictions within them.

Were clearly not extracted by Haotian from other spiritual treasures.

After all, the number was far too vast.

Haotian could not possibly possess that many Small Bottles.

The Qiankun Cauldron did have the ability to reverse the innate.

But.

These were tens of thousands of spiritual treasures!

Relying on the Qiankun Cauldron, how much time would it take to achieve this goal?

Even if he had started from the moment Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, Haotian could not have accumulated so many Small Bottles.

Therefore, these Small Bottles could only have been refined by Haotian himself.

And this skill, even he, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, had not mastered.

Was there no justice in this?

Could it be that This Seat had not paid attention to the Primordial World for so long.

That the current level of artifact refinement in the Primordial World had already reached such heights?

I!

Primordial Heavenly Venerate!

Orthodox descendant of Pangu, one of the Three Pure Ones.

A dignified Sage!

Called the most skilled Saint in artifact refinement.

And now you tell This Seat.

In the art of artifact refinement, This Seat cannot surpass Haotian.

This is the biggest joke This Seat has heard since emerging into the world!

Immeasurable, you Dao Ancestor!

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor secretly gave Haotian extra lessons?

Behind the backs of us disciples, he taught Haotian some special method of artifact refinement?

It must be so!

Otherwise, with Haotian's cultivation, how could he surpass This Seat in artifact refinement?

The more he thought, the more certain Primordial Heavenly Venerate became of this idea.

Fine!

If you have real skill, you don't teach it to your proper personal disciples, but pass it on to a mere page boy?

What kind of unique inheritance system is this?

On Kunlun Mountain, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's heart grew more unbalanced the more he thought.

Added to that was Haotian's earlier slight against his face.

His dissatisfaction with Haotian silently magnified further.

At this moment, Haotian clearly had no intention of stopping his work because of the saints' attitudes toward him.

Like a diligent little bee, Haotian busied himself endlessly in the Northern Region of the Primordial World.

After finishing the great formation near the Black Tortoise's flesh, he immediately moved on to set up formations further away.

The various beings of the Northern Region also had no lack of tact to jump out and obstruct Haotian.

Occasionally, some Demonic Beasts, corrupted by Sha Qi and having lost their reason, were casually struck down by Haotian.

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years had gone by.

On this day.

Haotian and his group used up the last "Small Bottle."

Four massive beams of golden merit light immediately descended from the heavens.

It was because the deeds of Haotian and his group had brought great benefits to the Northern Region of the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao, sensing this, naturally sent down merit as a reward.

While receiving the merit himself, Haotian did not forget to remind them aloud.

"Do not use merit to advance your cultivation!"

Although they did not understand Haotian's meaning, Tai Bai Jin Xing and Yaoji still followed his instructions.

As the merit slowly merged into their Purple Mansions.

The Golden Wheels of Merit behind the heads of Haotian and the others gradually solidified.

When the great powers of the Primordial World saw Haotian and his group receiving merit.

They could no longer suppress the longing in their hearts.

They had already prepared themselves, waiting only for Haotian and his group to leave.

Then they would head straight for the Northern Region.

First, they would observe the spiritual treasures Haotian had refined, then imitate them.

And follow along to snatch a wave of merit.

After a long while.

Haotian and his group finished receiving all the merit, and only then did Haotian lead them back to the Heavenly Court.
