Zhun Ti's Eager Revenge! Ling Xiao in Danger?

Jieyin and Zhun Ti issued great vows, wishing to save and protect all living beings in the West. Countless creatures across the Western lands sensed an aura of compassion and mercy enveloping them, and all knelt toward Mount Sumeru to kowtow in gratitude.

The faith of all living beings in heaven and earth reached the Heavenly Dao, which in turn descended divine brilliance. Thousands of auspicious colors fell, while canopies, fresh flowers, and rare treasures emerged in succession.

Divine flowers fell from the sky and sweet springs gushed from the earth. Above the heads of Zhun Ti and Jieyin, the void parted, and rolling, cascading energy of merit descended, forming a halo of merit.

The cultivation of the two reached the perfection of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

"Haha..."

Zhun Ti was ecstatic, filled with unprecedented excitement. This feeling was far too intoxicating; he had merely issued a great vow and already reaped such benefits.

He even considered issuing dozens more great vows to take off immediately.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior Brother."

He stood up and cupped his hands toward Jieyin; without his senior brother's guidance, he could not have achieved this step.

"There is no need for such formalities between us."

Jieyin said with a smile, feeling equally overjoyed. Sensing the boundless power of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal perfection, he felt high-spirited and vigorous.

He reckoned that he had now surpassed Laozi, becoming, without question, the number one being beneath the Dao Ancestor.

"Senior Brother! I want to take a trip to the Sun Star!"

After calming down, Zhun Ti looked toward the Sun Star and said with a faint smile, a cold, sharp killing intent blooming in his eyes.

"You intend to seek revenge on the Golden Crow?" Jieyin asked.

"Naturally. In the past, he humiliated us brothers. If this grudge is not avenged, I am unworthy of being a cultivator."

Zhun Ti said in a deep voice. He had issued the great vows precisely to seek revenge, and now that his strength had greatly increased, he naturally wanted to regain his lost face.

Jieyin nodded gently and said, "That Golden Crow is indeed deserving of death. However, the Dao Ancestor's sermon is about to begin; do not stir up trouble now. Let him off for the moment; it will not be too late to seek revenge after listening to the sermon."

He also harbored a desire for revenge, but to him, the sermon at Purple Cloud Palace was more important.

Time was the least valuable thing to them, and there was no need to rush.

"Senior Brother, it is only a Golden Crow. If we brothers act, it won't take long to get our revenge." Zhun Ti was somewhat unwilling to let it go; Ling Xiao was like a thorn stuck in his heart, and he would not be at ease until he was eradicated.

Jieyin gave a silent smile, feeling that his junior brother had become a bit impulsive, but he still explained patiently.

"If my senses are correct, there is an innate grand formation on the Sun Star. If we go rashly, we might suffer a loss. Once we have listened to the Dao Ancestor's sermon and our strength has increased, I will be certain of breaking this formation."

"The Dao Ancestor said during the first sermon that the next one would cover the path of the Quasi-Sage. We are already at the perfection of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and after the sermon, we might be able to break through to the Quasi-Sage realm."

"By then, a mere Golden Crow can be extinguished with a wave of the hand; why rush at this moment?"

Jieyin spoke eloquently. Just now, while merging with the energy of merit and fortune, his divine sense had permeated heaven and earth. He had also taken note of the Sun Star, where a hidden, ominous formation was shrouded; it would be truly difficult to detect without getting close.

Presumably, this was the source of that Golden Crow's confidence, believing that by hiding on the Sun Star, no one could do anything to him.

Little did he know that once his own cultivation advanced further, he would be certain to break this formation.

By then, no matter where he hid, he would be at his mercy.

Zhun Ti listened, stunned. He had not expected his senior brother to be so meticulous, so he naturally agreed honestly, "Then we shall follow your words, Senior Brother, and wait until after we have listened to the Dao."

"Junior Brother, your heart has been restless lately. You need to adjust as soon as possible. Our goal is to become saints and ancestors; do not be confined by the present."

Jieyin assumed the posture of an elder brother and admonished him.

"Your teachings are correct, Senior Brother." Zhun Ti nodded, no longer dwelling on it.

Once the sermon was over, it would be the time of Ling Xiao's death; this amount of time was, to him, but a fleeting moment.

In the Western Primordial World.

At Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhenyuanzi's expression was solemn. Sensing the changes in the Western world, he exclaimed in great astonishment, "Jieyin and Zhun Ti have excellent methods, actually gathering the fortune of the West unto themselves!"

Although they were all in the West, Zhenyuanzi realized that the Western fortune had all returned to Jieyin and Zhun Ti, and he could not share even a fraction of it.

"Damn it! Why didn't I think of this move?"

He was heartbroken and filled with regret, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Originally, he and Jieyin and Zhun Ti belonged to the same level, but all of a sudden, he was inexplicably half a level lower than them.

"Zhenyuan, why are you getting so worked up?"

At this moment, a hearty voice rang out; the person arrived before the sound did.

Following this, Red Cloud, dressed in a bright red robe, walked in, his face beaming with a brilliant smile.

It was as if a small sun had suddenly shone in.

Zhenyuanzi glanced at his old friend of many years and muttered to himself, "If only I could be as carefree as you."

"Can't you feel it? Jieyin and Zhun Ti have gathered all the Western fortune unto themselves. From now on, I won't be able to share a single bit of Western fortune."

Zhenyuanzi still couldn't help but want to confide in his friend.

"That's simple!"

Red Cloud responded heartily, without a shred of hesitation.

"Simple?" Zhenyuanzi's expression shifted; he had not expected his good friend to be so supportive.

"What solution do you have? Tell me, let me hear it."

Red Cloud spread his hands and said, "Just move out of the West, that's all!"

"I..."

Zhenyuanzi was choked with anger, nearly fainting from holding his breath.

Fine.

He had been too hasty.

Knowing Red Cloud's temperament, he still had to go and ask with his loose mouth.

Only he could come up with such an outrageous suggestion.

"What kind of reaction is that? I'm being serious!" Red Cloud said with a sincere face.

He was offering a perfectly good suggestion; why did Zhenyuanzi think he was joking?

"Red Cloud, stop teasing. I can leave at any time, but what about the Ginseng Fruit? Without Nine Heavens Soil, it is impossible to transplant them elsewhere."

"You've eaten plenty of these things; I ask you, do you still want to eat Ginseng Fruit in the future?"

Zhenyuanzi rebuked him with a stern face.

"Wait, would the soil from the Innate Gourd Vine work?" Red Cloud's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something, asking excitedly.

"Nonsense, they are both among the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots, of course it would work."

Zhenyuanzi replied with some irritation.

"It's settled!"

"I know a fellow Daoist who has the soil from the Innate Gourd Vine," Red Cloud said with a smile, looking quite pleased with himself.

Zhenyuanzi's face showed surprise as he asked, "Is it that fellow Daoist Ling Xiao you mentioned, the one who helped you seize the gourd?"

"Exactly. Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao has half of the soil; if we borrow it from him, can't the Ginseng Fruit be moved?" Red Cloud said, beaming.

After hearing this, Zhenyuanzi's expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no! Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao is likely in danger!"

"What makes you say that?" Red Cloud's smile vanished, and he asked with a suspicious look.

"Didn't you say that back when the gourds were seized, Ling Xiao beat up Jieyin and Zhun Ti?"

"Now that Jieyin and Zhun Ti have gathered the fortune of the West and their cultivation has greatly advanced, they are likely going to seek revenge on Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao!"

Zhenyuanzi said solemnly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry to the Sun Star to help!"

Red Cloud could no longer sit still; he stood up and headed toward the door.
