Primordial Wilderness: I Keep Offering Poisonous Schemes! Houtu Urges Me to Stay Calm

But he was very interested in the Ancestral Shamans' objective.

None of the many Ancestral Shamans present paid much heed to Chu Xuan's initiative in asking.

Chu Xuan had already earned their recognition through his wisdom and achievements. He was qualified to speak with them as an equal.

Even Dijiang's expression softened at his words. He nodded and took the initiative to explain.

"Indeed. Now that the Demon Race has caused such a huge uproar, since we are contending with them, naturally we cannot refrain from stepping in to stir the waters!"

"If we didn't show ourselves, that would seem even more abnormal!"

"The Karma surrounding the heavenly tribulations is far too great. For now, our Wu Clan should not reveal too many flaws!"

"First, we had to protect you while you cultivated. Then afterward, Zhurong, Gonggong, and the others could no longer suppress their breakthroughs into Quasi-Saint. So now is precisely the most suitable time!"

"Of course, since you attained the Dao through heavenly tribulations, you should not participate this time. It is not for any other reason, but to conceal things."

Dijiang attached great importance to a Wu Clan talent like Chu Xuan, who had helped the Wu Clan dissolve the Demon Race's threat with a single scheme and had even created six Quasi-Saints out of thin air. Now that Chu Xuan had broken through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he had an even firmer basis to be treated as an equal. Dijiang felt he had found someone who could share the future burden of the Wu Clan.

Dijiang's attitude toward him was clearly several degrees more intimate than that of the other Ancestral Shamans.

However, he did not know that Chu Xuan had long since guessed their intentions—and had made even further plans.

Listening to Dijiang's words, Chu Xuan's eyes lit up. He did not even bother to take issue with being called little brother. Instead, he said with delight and excitement, "Good, good, good!"

"Indeed, the matter of heavenly tribulations is in the limelight right now. It truly would not be good to expose any flaws!"

"And although the Wu Clan is acting a little late, the Heavenly Court is currently mired in the Karma of heavenly tribulations. This truly is the best opportunity; it will not arouse suspicion!"

"I attained the Dao through heavenly tribulations and have yet to adapt to my Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation. It is only natural that I would not go."

"However, have you Ancestral Shamans considered that this is also an excellent opportunity?"

The Twelve Ancestral Shamans were all stunned in unison, seized by an inexplicable premonition.

And Chu Xuan's next words seemed to confirm their guess.

Chu Xuan spoke with great enthusiasm, his spirits soaring.

"To be frank, fellow Daoists!"

"I have another scheme!"

"It can make the Heavenly Court lose all virtue completely, even grievously wound that Eastern Emperor Taiyi! It will clear away the calamities and obstacles for our Wu Clan to wipe out the Demon Race!"

Looking at Chu Xuan's expression, the Ancestral Shamans exchanged glances, instinctively recalling his earlier poisonous scheme. The last time Chu Xuan had worn that expression, he had handed them a near-perfect extinction scheme for the future—one that would block the path of cultivation for every cultivator between Heaven and Earth.

It was poisonous beyond measure! Although they had persuaded themselves that it was for the Wu Clan's future, even that it would help preserve the world Father God had left behind, the Ancestral Shamans still felt lingering dread in their hearts.

And now...

But considering that this was the first plan Chu Xuan had proposed after breaking through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and that they had already regarded him as an equal, it would not be appropriate to refuse.

The Ancestral Shamans paused. Dijiang was the first to speak.

"We are all brothers of the same house. Speak freely!"

Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. This time, he did not play any tricks with upper, middle, and lower strategies.

To prevent anyone from interrupting his casting, he spoke directly.

"I have a scheme called Heavenly Tribulation Backlash, Ten Thousand Races Extinction! This is a true scheme of extinction in the present!"

"When I attained the Dao, I already sensed that Eastern Emperor Taiyi was suppressing those six Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruits. His Quasi-Saint cultivation is about to break through inside and out. Although he cannot refine true Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruits, it would still be easy for him to see our Dao Ancestor True Bodies!"

"Perhaps our concealment will prevent him from seeing through it, but there is also a great possibility that it will expose the fact that someone is plotting behind the heavenly tribulations! That would weaken this blow against the Heavenly Court!"

"So why not..."

Chu Xuan smiled, the dagger finally revealed from the map.

"When you Ancestral Shamans throw the Heavenly Court into chaos and force Eastern Emperor Taiyi to divide his attention and act, we seven Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestors will trigger an eruption together!"

"Over this period, who knows how many myriad spirits and Immortal Dao experts throughout Heaven and Earth have broken through ahead of time to evade heavenly tribulations!"

"Make the heavenly tribulations riot and descend ahead of schedule. When that happens, it will surely be Ten Thousand Calamities Descend!"

"Secretly raise the difficulty of the heavenly tribulations to the utmost limit!"

"Let all Karma be added to Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body!"

P.S.: The new book is still in its seedling stage!

This little author kneels to beg for flowers, rewards, monthly tickets, rating votes, comments, and every kind of support!

Poisonous Scheme Rejected! Chu Xuan, You're Too Extreme! (Asking for Flowers and Monthly Tickets)

"Let all Karma be added to Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body!"

The more Chu Xuan spoke, the more viable it seemed, and he could not help growing excited.

"It was Eastern Emperor Taiyi, overestimating himself and refining the Dao Fruit!"

"It was Eastern Emperor Taiyi, whose distraction during refinement triggered the Heavenly Tribulation Backlash!"

"It was Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who brought about the decline of the Ten Thousand Races and caused hundreds of millions of immortals to perish beneath the tribulation!"

"And we can further designate that, for the next ten epochs, the tribulations will be at their fiercest, all due to the influence of the endless waves of calamity!"

"This is the Great Dao's counterattack, its response to another's provocation! As Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestors exercising our rightful authority, even if Karma is involved, it will not be too severe!"

"But can the Heavenly Court!"

"Bear the wrath of the Ten Thousand Races for ten epochs?!"

"With one scheme, we can sever more than half of the Heavenly Court's future momentum. When the time comes, with a single call to arms, we will surely rally the world to destroy the Heavenly Court!"

Chu Xuan's tone was calm, yet lofty and righteous.

He seemed like a warrior of justice, crying out for the victims who were about to die beneath countless waves of tribulation.

Most crucially, when the tribulations erupted and punished all living beings, the boundless calamity gathered from it would surely allow the newborn Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao to surge forward by a tremendous step.

As the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestor, Chu Xuan would naturally profit from it and advance another step.

With the great calamity approaching, early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation was still not enough!

He could strike at the Heavenly Court, alter the Wu Clan's fate, and strengthen his own cultivation.

Another win within a win!

Chu Xuan felt there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

However, while Chu Xuan was satisfied, the Twelve Ancestral Shamans listening to him were once again horrified.

Even Dijiang, who had earlier thought Chu Xuan could share the Wu Clan's heavy burden, now wore a stiff expression.

The moment the Ancestral Shamans heard the name of Chu Xuan's scheme, they had already felt an ominous premonition.

Heavenly Tribulation Backlash, Ten Thousand Races Extinction—what kind of names were those?!

Once they had listened to Chu Xuan's entire plan.

Even though the Wu Clan had never cared about any race besides their own, viewing all other living beings with equal contempt.

They still fell into a long silence at this moment.

Several of the Ancestral Shamans looked at Chu Xuan strangely, stopping themselves from speaking several times.

Damn it! That was too vicious!

Too extreme!

Though Chu Xuan's idea was indeed excellent, with a seventy to eighty percent chance of driving the Heavenly Court into the abyss in one stroke.

After all, in theory, this plan was still a supplement to the Heavenly Tribulation plan.

But the same thing still stood—it was too vicious!

They had originally thought the Heavenly Tribulation plan was already vicious enough, blocking the Dao paths of who knew how many future beings!

Yet they had never expected there to be a follow-up move!

Turning the obstruction that should have occurred in the future into something that happened now—even causing countless living beings to fall with a single thought.

Once such a plan was carried out, nearly the entire Primordial Wilderness would be dressed in mourning white!

At this moment, even the hot-tempered Zhurong suddenly felt that his own temper was not actually all that violent.

At most, he thought about beating people up every day, or killing a few members of the Demon Race!

How could that compare to Chu Xuan's single plan?!

But then again!

Though Chu Xuan's plan was incomparably vicious, the many Ancestral Shamans present could all tell that it was absolutely a good plan.
