The Sages' Schemes, the Protagonist of the Last Tribulation
The Three Pure Ones were furious when they learned that the Wu and Demon races had gone to war.
"You two fools, Jieyin and Zhun Ti likely to cause trouble than anything else. Why did you have to provoke this trouble for no reason?"
Yuanshi cursed loudly, almost laughing in anger.
"The Two Western Sages have other plans. I suspect they want to drag Di Jun and Tai Yi into the conflict and have them join the demon race in their fight against the Witch Clan."
Laozi's eyes flashed, and he could already guess Jieyin and Zhunti's plans. After so many years of dealing with them, Laozi knew exactly what these two were up to the moment they showed their faces.
"Utterly foolish! There's no need to be in such a hurry to impress the teacher, is there?" Yuanshi sneered, displaying an air of superior arrogance.
Laozi Tzu smiled, stroked his white beard, and said, "Let them be. The teacher will naturally see right from wrong."
"Let's go. I already know what to do about the demon race."
Having said that, Laozi stood up and walked outside.
Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
In the southern part of the Primordial World Qingqiu Mountain, one of the first mountain ranges in the south. The sunny side of Qingqiu Mountain is rich in jade, while the shady side is rich in green jade.
Originally, this place was the territory of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon clan among the demon races, but now it has become the Daoist temple of the Queen Mother of the West, where she has settled here with a group of female immortals.
On this day, three Daoist priests suddenly appeared, and then left not long after.
These three Daoists were none other than Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian.
"Brother, even with the Queen Mother of the West alone, the demon race is no match for the Witch Clan," Yuanshi said. They had come here to ask the Queen Mother of the West to help the demon race deal with the Witch Clan.
The Witch Clan and the Queen Mother of the West have a feud over the seizure of her sacred site, and this Karma naturally needs to be settled.
"That's not all," Laozi Tzu said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.
Yuanshi Yuanshi's gaze, Tongtian saw that in the distant sky, golden flames illuminated the universe, dyeing the entire sky gold.
"Nanming Volcano!"
Since Ling Xiao arrived here, the flames of Nanming Volcano have transformed into the Golden Crow Divine Flame.
"Yuanfeng didn't die; she's undergoing a rebirth..."
Laozi's eyes flickered, and he saw through the Nanming Volcano. He sensed the aura of Yuanfeng, who was undergoing a transformation and seemed to have reached a crucial moment.
"Brother, is Yuanfeng your next target?"
Looking at Laozi's expression, Yuanshi asked with some surprise, "Yuanfeng is already a remnant of the old era, a completely negligible existence."
Upon hearing this, Laozi smiled and said, "I had no such intention. Yuanfeng was the protagonist of the previous Tribulation. It would be inappropriate to let her enter the Witch-Demon Catastrophe."
"Besides, she's undergoing nirvana, so she's of no use to her."
Yuanshi nodded slightly, then said, "Yuanfeng's rebirth may be inextricably linked to Ling Xiao. Are we just going to stand by and watch her be reborn?"
His face was cold, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable meaning.
Laozi smiled without saying a word, raised his hand and took out a purple Gourd. Then, he pointed the gourd's mouth towards the Nanming Volcano, and the surging golden flames were immediately sucked into the Gourd.
A short while later, most of the flames on the Nanming Volcano had died down.
"That will suffice. The remnants of the last Tribulation will naturally never see the light of day again," Laozi said with a faint smile, putting away his Gourd.
Yuanshi laughed heartily, revealing a satisfied expression. Then, the three of them turned and left.
Inside the Nanming Volcano, Yuanfeng sensed the rapidly diminishing power of the Flame Law and immediately panicked.
A pair of fiery eyes pierced through the mountainside, staring intently at the departing figures of the Three Pure Ones, revealing a look of shock and anger.
An unexpected disaster!
She was peacefully undergoing her rebirth here, and it had reached a crucial moment when those three old geezers came and took away the flames.
Is this some kind of insanity?
Yuanfeng was both angry and desperate. Having lost most of her flame, she not only had difficulty succeeding in her rebirth, but also faced the risk of perishing.
Is it truly impossible for Heavenly Dao to allow her to be reborn?
In an instant, Yuanfeng was filled with pessimism; her original hope of rebirth was shattered once again!
After leaving the South, the Three Pure Ones soon descended upon the North Sea.
Yuanshi and Tongtian were somewhat puzzled, but after some mental calculation, they quickly figured out Laozi's purpose!
They ventured into the sea and arrived at a deep abyss on the ocean floor, where a massive black hole spewed out Chaos energy, emanating a chilling aura.
This is the North Sea Eye. It is usually quiet, but once it erupts, it possesses a terrifying power that can melt the Primordial World and devour the waters of the North Sea. If one is not careful, even Daluo Golden Immortal could be in mortal danger.
This place is shrouded in mysterious laws year-round, and ordinary creatures dare not approach it. Like the Nanming Volcano, it is a well-known forbidden area in the Primordial World.
Laozi glanced around and saw a black feather shining brightly in the endless Sea Eye, silently absorbing the energy of the Sea Eye.
The next moment, he raised his hand and grabbed, and the black feather flew out, flashing with powerful spiritual energy, as if it were struggling.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
A surge of divine soul energy emanated, transforming into a phantom image—an old man in black robes.
"Kunpeng, don't be nervous. If we wanted to kill you, we wouldn't need to do it ourselves."
Laozi smiled and looked at the illusory divine spirit before him with great interest.
Everyone thought Kunpeng was dead, but they never expected that he was clinging to life, with a sliver of vitality remaining, hiding in the North Sea Eye to recuperate. If they hadn't become saints, they really wouldn't have discovered him.
"Kunpeng, you bear the Demon Race Fortune, your life is not meant to end," Yuanshi said in a deep voice, having no good feelings towards Kunpeng, this feathered creature.
"What... are you going to do?" Kunpeng calmed down. Faced with a force he couldn't resist, there was no point in struggling anymore; he just had to obey.
"I'm not doing anything, the demon race needs you." Tongtian said bluntly, his patience running out.
Then Laozi spoke, roughly explaining his purpose. After listening, Kunpeng suddenly understood, his eyes flickered slightly, and he began to play the victim.
"I also want to do my part for the demon race, but I'm really powerless in my current state!" Kunpeng said helplessly, spreading his hands.
His physical body had long since been destroyed, leaving only a feather.
Upon hearing this, Laozi Tzu chuckled and said, "This is naturally no challenge for us!"
Then, at Laozi's instruction, the three of them each forced out a drop of their essence blood to help Kunpeng reshape his physical body.
Although doing so is somewhat outrageous and may incur karmic Karma, it is of no great harm to Sage.
Kunpeng was overjoyed, feeling that this moment marked the pinnacle of his avian life.
After a long time, the complete Kunpeng returned once more. With the blessing of the Sage's essence and blood, he, who was already known for his physical body, has now taken another step forward and reached an incredible level.
Sage is hard to match!
"Thank you for the three Sage's grace in restoring us." Kunpeng cupped his hands, bowed his head in thanks, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.
