The Western World.
Atop Spirit Mountain.
Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin looked east toward the Primordial Wilderness.
"Looks like Senior Brother Yuanshi succeeded in deceiving Senior Brother Tongtian. But we've schemed against the Interception Sect this time. Once Senior Brother Tongtian realizes what's happened, I'm afraid neither of us will get away unscathed."
Saint Zhunti rubbed his bald head, his expression troubled.
The Western Teachings had allied with the Chan Sect. He wasn't sure whether it was the right choice.
At that, Saint Jieyin sighed. "The Interception Sect has attracted immortals from all over the world, and its strength has made it a target. It already threatens the standing of both our Western Teachings and the Chan Sect."
"Besides, the Interception Sect has a hundred thousand disciples, and many are destined for our Buddhist faith. Only by taking advantage of this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation can we bring them to the West and convert them."
"What's more, Senior Brother Tongtian went all out against Senior Brother Yuanshi last time. In his heart, the bond between fellow disciples has long meant nothing to him."
"If we don't strike first, the Western Teachings will be the first to suffer."
In the Primordial World, there was only so much Heavenly Dao Destiny to go around.
The Interception Sect's destiny exceeded that of the Western Teachings and Chan Sect combined. How could the Two Sages of the West not envy them?
Decades ago, Primordial Heavenly Venerate had lost to Sect Master Tongtian.
If the Two Sages of the West hadn't pleaded on his behalf, Sect Master Tongtian would have sent Primordial Heavenly Venerate into the Heavenly Dao's cycle of reincarnation and seized the opportunity to wipe out the Chan Sect.
The struggle for interests was always brutal.
There was no right or wrong,
