The Three Pure Ones' Schemes
After Yuanshi became a saint, the first thing he thought of was naturally to take revenge and settle the Karma for past karma.
The purpose of becoming a saint is for this.
What he regretted was that, after becoming a saint and understanding the secrets of heaven, he naturally knew that the Witch Clan was not yet a threat.
The Tribulation is not over yet.
But Ling Xiao is different; he is not within the Tribulation and can act at will.
It was normal that I couldn't beat them before because my cultivation level was lower, but now that I've become a saint, how can I be bullied?
"Ling Xiao is hiding in the Chaos. If he's truly trying to avoid us, he won't be so easy to find!"
Laozi sat on the Green Ox and said with a faint smile. The old ox, not understanding what he meant, chewed on the ruminated grass.
"That's true. If he knew that we brothers had become saints, he naturally wouldn't show himself easily." Yuanshi nodded and said calmly, then laughed loudly.
"A mere Ling Xiao, how laughable!"
This sound was incredibly clear, loud, and vast, finally releasing the pent-up emotions in his heart.
"We must not be careless. Ling Xiao became a saint before us, and his strength is likely to surpass ours," Laozi said calmly and naturally.
Upon hearing Yuanshi chuckled and said, "Brother, with the three of us brothers joining forces, how could we possibly be inferior to him?"
"With our Third Brother's Immortal-Slaughtering Formation added to the mix, even if Ling Xiao possesses immense magical power, he won't be a match for us!"
Things are different now. All Three Pure Ones have become saints, but of the Three Crows of the past, only Ling Xiao has become a saint. Di Jun and Tai Yi are probably still far from it.
The one who laughs last laughs best; that perfectly describes these three brothers.
Even if the Three Crows were stronger than them in the past, that's all in the past. Over the years, everything has changed.
"Actually, even if Ling Xiao is hiding from us, there are still ways to force him out!" Yuanshi continued talking, his eyes flashing as he thought of another idea.
As he finished speaking, his gaze turned to the Sun Star, revealing a meaningful expression.
Laozi understood immediately and said with some admiration, "Di Jun, Tai Yi is the protagonist of the Tribulation. It's probably not a good time for him to act now, isn't it?"
Even after becoming a saint, his second brother still retained a trace of ruthlessness and extremism in his nature.
"It's alright, it's not like we're really going to fight, we're just forcing Ling Xiao to step in," Yuanshi said calmly, his eyes revealing arrogance.
He hasn't stooped so low as to attack Di Jun and Tai Yi as Sage.
When one reaches the stage of Sage, one has already become a player on the chessboard of heaven and earth. The affairs of the pieces should be handled by the pieces themselves. To act arbitrarily would be to lose one's dignity.
Laozi sighed helplessly and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement. Given his second brother's personality, he would not give up until the Karma between him and Ling Xiao were resolved.
While Laozi and Yuanshi were exchanging words, Tongtian was deep in thought, his gaze seemingly drifting towards the Three Immortal Islands.
After attaining sainthood, he sensed that there were three future disciples on the Three Immortal Islands.
He hesitated whether to go over and bring them over.
Establishing a religion and becoming a saint is not something to be taken lightly; it doesn't mean that once you become a saint, you can stop caring about anything else.
Disciples should be accepted where appropriate, and doctrines should be passed on where appropriate.
Even taking on just one disciple is acceptable, but we can't refuse to take any at all!
Taking on even one disciple is also inappropriate. Since he established the Interception Sect, he must carry out its doctrines to the end.
"Huh, those two guys from the West are going to become saints too?"
Suddenly, Yuanshi felt something and, looking towards the West, said this.
Without him saying it, Laozi and Tongtian naturally sensed it as well.
"Jieyin and Zhunti are Heaven-Appointed Sage, so it is normal for us to become saints later," Laozi said, without any surprise.
"Hmph, to become a saint on the same day as them is truly beneath our dignity!" Yuanshi with some dissatisfaction, coldly looking towards the West.
In the Primordial World, after all the beings had celebrated the Three Pure Ones' ascension to sainthood, some had not even gotten up yet.
At that moment, the West world shone brightly, Twelve-Colored Glazed Treasure Light transformed the entire sky into a magnificent scene of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, with the illusory images of Three Thousand Kingdoms, the resounding chants of Brahma, holy and peaceful.
"Now I, Jieyin Zhun Ti, seeing the suffering of all beings, have established the Western Sect to universally save all sentient beings, and use the Twelfth-Grade Golden Lotus to suppress the destiny!"
As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Dao trembled, and an immeasurable River of Merit surged forth, stretching across the West horizon.
"Again?" The countless beings of the Primordial World were dumbfounded, staring in shock at the West horizon.
Is this never going to end?
"Five Saints appearing in one day!?"
They gazed West, their expressions a complex mix of shock and numbness.
You can sense that this time the Western Duo seems to be serious, unlike last time when they acted recklessly and haphazardly.
They have a method.
The immense merit Heavenly Dao Merit cannot be deceived, just like when the Three Pure Ones attained sainthood.
"Wait a minute! Jieyin Zhun Ti the same religion, but they only share the same merit. How can they become saints?"
A powerful being exclaimed in surprise, seeing the Heavenly Dao Merit descending without the aura of sainthood emanating from it, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
How can two people sharing one share of merit both become saints?
In an instant, many creatures realized this and couldn't help but chuckle to themselves; in fact, they couldn't hold back at all and burst out laughing.
After the previous joke, Jieyin and Zhun Ti off another stunt.
Every time, they try to emulate others' path to sainthood, but they only ever learn the basics.
As outsiders have said, Mount Sumeru at this time...
Jieyin Zhun Ti panicked. Their outstretched arms froze completely, unsure whether to raise them or lower them.
Not long ago, they sensed the Three Pure Ones attaining sainthood, Primordial Violet Qi within their bodies also issued guidance.
He instantly understood that his path to sainthood lay in establishing a religion.
With sainthood within reach, they made a decisive move and immediately began to swear an oath.
However, Jieyin Zhun Ti overlooked one point: the Three Pure Ones established their own religions, and since the Three Pure Ones possessed the merits of creating the world, there was naturally no problem with them.
However, since the two brothers started a religion together, they naturally didn't accumulate enough merit to achieve sainthood.
"Oh no! We haven't fully grasped the secrets of heaven yet, and the merits of establishing our sect are simply insufficient for us to become saints!"
The Jieyin's face was filled with sorrow and looked extremely unpleasant.
That was too hasty, too hasty!
"If only we had separated and established our own sects, each of us leading one, integrating them would have caused problems," Zhun Ti said anxiously, his entire demeanor disturbed.
He desperately wanted to become a saint.
Seeing that he was only halfway to becoming a saint, he was so anxious that he wished he could rush to the Heavenly Dao and ask Him to grant him some more merit.
The path to Human Path has been revealed; the opportunity presented by Heavenly Dao has already manifested. If one does not become a saint this time, who knows when the next opportunity will come?
If you don't take what Heaven offers, you will suffer the consequences!
"That shouldn't be the case. How could the guidance of the Primordial Violet Qi be wrong?"
The Jieyin's bitter face shifted between light and shadow, his mind racing, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong.
Zhun Ti was also making deductions, constantly comprehending the Primordial Violet Qi, so anxious he was almost calling for his father.
Just when they were about to despair and give up, the Primordial Violet Qi within their bodies stirred once again.
After comprehending the secrets of heaven, Jieyin Zhun Ti finally understood what was still missing.
