The Saints Discuss Countermeasures

"The Witch Clan are the protagonists ordained by heaven. The Twelve Ancestor Witches possess Pangu's vital blood and are the Pangu Orthodoxy of the Primordial World. You call them cannon fodder?"

"That's right. My elder brother's opinion is my opinion. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, we do not agree with you."

The Western Two Saints immediately stepped forward.

They desperately needed outside help to break their disadvantage.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Court kept pressing them, they would undoubtedly be the ones to suffer.

"Disagree? This is the truth!!"

Yuanshi shook his head, then recounted his recent trip to the Witch Clan.

"What kind of joke is this? The Twelve Ancestor Witches have only grasped forty percent of their Laws and have merely entered the Mid-Stage Quasi-Saint Realm?"

"Before the Immeasurable Tribulation, such strength would absolutely have made them overlords. But now that the tribulation is in full swing, this level of strength is not worth mentioning."

The Western Two Saints exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"So you are still placing your hopes on the Witch Clan?"

Yuanshi glanced at the Western Two Saints.

How could he not know what they were thinking?

"Fellow Daoists, I have an immature suggestion."

After hearing Yuanshi's words, Zhunti pondered for a moment before speaking.

"What suggestion? Feel free to say it."

"As long as it can end this Immeasurable Tribulation and return heaven and earth to their proper order, nothing is off limits."

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Zhunti, truly resourceful and wise!!"

Seeing Zhunti act so mysteriously, even Taiqing Saint, who had been resting with his eyes closed, became interested.

Nuwa spoke as well, though her tone was somewhat mocking.

"Since the Witch Clan are the protagonists ordained by heaven, why not increase their strength?"

Zhunti smiled faintly and did not keep them in suspense.

"This suggestion truly is immature!!"

"If we increase their strength, will they be willing to end this Immeasurable Tribulation?"

"Zhen Yuanzi's uprising is nothing more than an attempt to uncover the truth behind Red Cloud's death. Can you Western Two Saints give him an answer?"

"Even if you can, Minghe and Kunpeng are Zhen Yuanzi's mortal enemies. They are working together only because Zhen Yuanzi has not yet learned the entire truth."

The moment Yuanshi heard the proposal, he launched into a tirade.

By tearing away the last veil of pretense, he left the Western Two Saints thoroughly embarrassed.

Back then, Red Cloud had given up his seat.

The Western Two Saints consequently owed Red Cloud an enormous karmic debt.

Yet neither of them wished to repay it.

As it happened, the Primordial Purple Qi in Red Cloud's possession triggered a killing tribulation, and the Western Two Saints naturally helped push things along.

After all, once a man was dead, there was no need to repay any karmic debt.

They had merely underestimated Zhen Yuanzi's feelings for Red Cloud, and had not anticipated that the Demon-Witch Calamity would give Zhen Yuanzi an opportunity to rise up.

Among the four major powers of the Primordial World today,

there was no need to mention that Minghe was the hardest existence to kill.

Zhen Yuanzi, meanwhile, held the Book of Earth.

This book was the Heaven-Earth Membrane Embryo, a supreme defensive treasure.

With this book, his title as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals was fully deserved.

Moreover, his Five Villages Temple was no ordinary Daoist temple.

It was actually the Five Viscera Temple, where the Five Elements converged.

Within it stood a Primordial Spiritual Root, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, bringing the entire Five Viscera Temple to life.

Its power

was even greater than Kunpeng's Northern Darkness Demon Master Palace.

Of the four major powers, Ksitigarbha Buddha was instead the weakest.

If Jieyin and Zhunti had not bestowed the Golden Lotus upon him for protection, Tai Yi would have crushed and killed him with a single strike of his bell long ago.

Now, the Western Two Saints wanted to strengthen the Witch Clan only to stall for time and continue reaping merit.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, what do you think of this matter?"

Since Zhen Yuanzi was an unstable factor, the Western Two Saints had no solution.

In the end, they could only turn their eyes toward Nuwa.

"I am already a Sage. The Demon Clan's affairs will be handled by the Demon Clan!!"

Nuwa cast a sidelong glance at the Saints, looking entirely detached from the matter.

With the Demon Clan dominating the world, she, as the Demon Clan's Sage, had gained no small benefit.

"This won't do, and that won't do. Then how are we supposed to proceed?"

"We might as well let the Demon Clan dominate alone."

"If that does not work, release the Dragon-Han Three Ancestors and muddy the waters even further."

Yuanshi snorted coldly.

"The heavenly number cannot be changed. You were summoned here not to vent your emotions, but to discuss countermeasures."

At that moment,

Hongjun's figure appeared atop the Heavenly Dao Prayer Mat.

"Greetings, Teacher!!"

Upon seeing Heavenly Dao Hongjun, the Saints hurriedly addressed him as Teacher.

Even Yuanshi, no matter how angry he was, immediately restrained himself completely.

"The Immeasurable Tribulation of heaven and earth is growing ever fiercer. It cannot be delayed any longer."

"Do any of you Saints have a solution?"

Dao resonance swirled around Hongjun.

"Teacher, I believe that if Junior Sister Nuwa is willing to issue a decree, she should be able to temporarily restrain the Demon Clan."

Seeing this, the Western Two Saints hurriedly offered their proposal.

"This is the Demon-Witch Calamity. Saints are forbidden from interfering; this was Teacher's decree."

Nuwa would not indulge the Western Two Saints' wishes.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, I seem to recall that your elder brother Fuxi is still within the Heavenly Court."

"Could he replace Di Jun and receive Heaven's mandate?"

Fine.

You claimed you could not control the Demon Clan, but what about your elder brother?

The Western Two Saints looked at Nuwa with kindly smiles.

"You?"

Nuwa's phoenix brows rose slightly. She knew the Western Two Saints were shameless, but she had not expected them to be this shameless.

What, did they want her elder brother to replace Di Jun?

She dared not say it aloud.

Because that was truly what the Western Two Saints intended.

The final outcome would inevitably be that Fuxi bore the Immeasurable Tribulation.

His body and Dao would both perish.

What vicious intentions!!!

"Actually, I have an even better idea."

"The Three Pure Ones and the Witch Clan are originally one family. Why do they not send their disciples down to help?"

"They would have a perfectly legitimate reason!!"

Looking at the Three Pure Ones, who were watching the spectacle from the side, how could Nuwa let them off?

Since they wanted to play games, then she would play along.

However,

Three Pure Ones, do not dream of standing by and watching.

"Excellent idea. Junior Sister Nuwa is indeed intelligent and selfless."

"I agree as well. The Three Teachings have many talented disciples. With their participation, they will certainly be able to curb the Demon Clan's momentum."

The Western Two Saints immediately nodded in agreement.

"The West has already sent Ksitigarbha Buddha. Stop hiding your strength and send troops as well to suppress the Demon Clan!!"

Before the Western Two Saints could finish smiling, their expressions froze.

What the hell?

I only wanted to take advantage of the situation, and now you want the entire West to enter the conflict.

The West was barren.

Aside from Ksitigarbha Buddha, there was no one else they could put forward.

If the West were forced to join the battle, a single charge by the Heavenly Court's Demon Clan could tear through all of the West's remaining foundations.

"That is absolutely impossible. If the West enters the fray, what sort of propriety would that be!!"

Jieyin hesitated to speak, but Zhunti had far fewer reservations.

"Enough."

Heavenly Dao Hongjun spoke, and all six Saints immediately focused their minds.

"Three Pure Ones, the Witch Clan needs your support."

"Nuwa, temporarily order the Demon Clan to return to the Heavenly Court."

"You two must not covet the merit of the Primordial Wilderness."

Heavenly Dao Hongjun looked over the six Saints, issued his decree, and vanished before them.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.

[ Ding, after lying low on Mount Buzhou for a hundred years, congratulations to the host for randomly obtaining one Law. ]

[ Randomly distributing a Law. Law distribution successful. ]

"It's actually a Time-Slowing Law!!!"
