"Speak up. As long as you tell me, I will definitely support you." Seeing that Qing Xuanzi looked doubtful, Hongjun was the first to agree to support him.

The main reason is that since Qing Xuanzi appeared, too many incredible things have happened, and he has also brought tremendous benefits.

In any case, the path to enlightenment is full of traps, but Qing Xuanzi always seems to help him escape from seemingly hopeless situations.

That's what gave him such a firm Dao Heart.

Qing Xuanzi felt the warmth from Hongjun. "I am not alone on this path. In the end, it is still Hongjun."

Moreover, Qing Xuanzi saw that Nüwa opened her mouth almost at the same moment Hongjun spoke.

However, Hongjun swallowed his voice after it had been uttered.

The gazes of Laozi, Tongtian, and Yuanshi explained everything.

Qing Xuanzi couldn't help but laugh at his own doubts. He was mistaken; these were all sages with unwavering Dao Heart, great perseverance, great merit, and great opportunities.

They acted solely Dao Heart, and by the time they revealed the news, their respective Dao Heart had already made their decisions.

A cultivator's Dao Heart is the most sensitive; he believes their Dao Heart has already given a warning.

The reason I still believe in myself is simply because of trust, a trust that is extremely rare in the Primordial World.

"Alright, I'm going to do the opposite. Didn't the Great Destiny Technique lock down the fate of the Primordial World? I'll just do the opposite. I believe everyone here is very clear about the outcome. Master, senior brothers and sisters, are you still going to do it?"

"Nonsense, when you defied the heavens before, did I hide from you?" Tongtian stated his attitude directly.

"Yuanshi, what about you?" Hongjun asked, knowing that doing this would not be easy for Yuanshi to Dao Heart.

The Great Destiny is locked in the Primordial World destiny, and the Way of Heaven naturally operates according to this trajectory.

However, the Dao of the Primordial Yuanshi lies in expounding the Dao of Heaven. If we go against it, this time it might be a bit dangerous.

Therefore, among these sages, the most dangerous one should be Yuanshi.

"Teacher, isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?" Yuanshi asked with difficulty.

"No." Hongjun's answer was very concise, which made Yuanshi's expression even more unpleasant.

A cultivator cultivates a Dao Heart; if a cultivator does something that goes against that Dao Heart, they will be condemned.

If it's too light, it will result in severe injury, or even a serious injury.

If it gets too heavy, the Dao Heart will collapse, and there will be no way to recover.

"May I have a few days to consider this?"

"Alas." Hongjun sighed, and just as he was about to speak, Qing Xuanzi spoke.

"Yuanshi Brother Yuanshi, the doctrine of the Elucidating Sect lies in elucidating the Way of Heaven. May I ask, Senior Brother, what is Heaven?"

"In the primordial Primordial World, it was the Heavenly Way; in the primordial chaos, it was the Great Way

"What if it wasn't the Primordial World chaos?"

"This..." Yuanshi fell into deep thought. Originally, Yuanshi's vision was limited to chaos and the Heavenly Dao.

The previous answer should be the most correct understanding, but Yuanshi also accepted the spiritual memories of the Ancient Dao Tree.

According to my memory, in any Great Dao World, there is no Great Dao.

There is only the Dao of Saints, that is, the Holy Dao, which is a name for one of the nine ranks of Immortal Dao.

In other words, if you are at the ninth level of Immortal Dao Path, then you are the Dao.

Therefore, Yuanshi was confused. In this way, wouldn't his Elucidating Sect be born to be followers of the Saintly Path?

Or perhaps, when one day I reach the realm of sainthood, then I will expound upon my own understanding.

Wouldn't that be a grave mistake?

"Qing Xuanzi, since you have asked this question, you must have an answer. Please tell me." After pondering for a long time, Yuanshi had no clue and could only ask Qing Xuanzi for advice.

"Senior brother, what is the Dao?"

"The Way is natural, and thus supreme."

"Where does the Tao come from?"

"I don't know."

Yuanshi was bewildered. Where did the Dao come from? How could he possibly know?

Not only Yuanshi, but also Hongjun, Laozi, Tongtian, and Nüwa became interested.

"Everyone has their own understanding of where the Dao comes from, and my understanding may not be correct, so I won't go into it. However, I do know that the Dao serves all living beings; if there were no living beings, the Dao would not exist, would it?"

"Indeed, without living beings, even if the Dao exists, it cannot be expressed or perceived; it can be considered that the Dao itself does not exist."

Yuanshi's thinking was quite insightful; he understood it after Qing Xuanzi explained it to him briefly.

"Life" does not refer to a specific range, but to all sentient beings, including those with only a sliver of intelligence.

It is precisely because of spiritual intelligence that the Tao can be described, and how to follow the Tao's operation can be understood.

It is precisely because all things possess a spirit that the Tao manifests itself so brilliantly.

"Does this mean that, within a certain scope, intelligence is the source of the Tao?"

"Qing Xuanzi, you're right. Senior Brother, I know what you're trying to say. You're telling me that Heaven is the embodiment of the will of all living beings, and explaining the Way of Heaven is explaining how all living beings follow the operation of the Way."

"Correct. If that's the case, then going against this great destiny is disrespectful to the Way of Heaven, isn't it?"

This time, having figured it out, Yuanshi replied directly, "No, the Great Destiny is a destiny imposed upon the Primordial World; denying it does not violate the Way of Heaven."

Phew, Qing Xuanzi exhaled a breath of turbid air. Fortunately, he had managed to fool them.

If Yuanshi still can't come to his senses, when it really comes down to a choice, Qing Xuanzi will probably choose to abandon Yuanshi.

Thankfully, I managed to fool myself.

In fact, in Qing Xuanzi's heart, things like Heaven and Dao were all sidelined.

If you disobey me, I will go against you, so what?

His efforts to deceive Yuanshi were simply to avoid disrupting the harmonious atmosphere of the current team.

And he didn't want a team full of people like himself and Tongtian who collectively shouted about defying the heavens.

Otherwise, you might die without even knowing it.

He needs Hongjun's shrewdness and deep calculation, Laozi's non-action and harmony, Yuanshi's obedience, and Tongtian's savagery.

Finally, the gentleness of Nüwa is needed.

This is what a perfect team is.

Some people grasp the overall situation, some guard the home front, some charge forward, some offer advice, and some try to smooth things over.

This team is the perfect team in his mind.

If Qing Xuanzi wants to rely on this team to keep moving forward, then every member of the team must do their best.

Otherwise, we'll be finished sooner or later.

"So, is there anyone else who objects?" Hongjun gave his final summary, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the Sages.

Seeing that no one else objected, he said directly:

"Since no one objects, it means everyone agrees with Qing Xuanzi's opinion. If there are any rebels midway..."

He is a traitor to the Primordial World, and everyone should punish him. Alright, Qing Xuanzi, please explain the plan in detail."

Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "My plan is that I have no plan. All we need to do is one thing: the Witch-Demon Tribulation."

Didn't they want liches? Then let's prevent liches from entering the Primordial World, so they'll never have a chance to meet.

When the great calamity evolves to a point of uncertainty, we can simply watch the show.

"Hahaha, Qing Xuanzi, if I didn't know your background, I would have thought you stole my Dao of Non-Action. What a wonderful 'My solution is no solution'! It's simply brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, beyond words."

Laozi stroked his white beard and burst into laughter.

"Yes, this method is feasible, but where should we place the Demon Clan?" Hongjun nodded in agreement.

"The Demon Realm".

"Create another world?"

"Well, let's use Nüwa's Mountains and Rivers State Diagram as the foundation to create another world, with the entrance and exit located in the Purple Cloud Palace. What do you think?"

"Good, we will each leave one of our Dao bodies here, no matter where we are. In this way, no living being can enter or leave without permission." Hongjun's face showed joy. This idea was indeed good.

Especially for those who possess countless Dao bodies, it is simple, direct, and remarkably effective.

Qing Xuanzi continued, "Not only that, I will create another Witch World in the Netherworld."

The entrance and exit are located within the Human Race Dao Palace on Shouyang Mountain. Witch Race who do not wish to serve in the Netherworld can go to live in the Witch World.

The Witch Race serve in the Netherworld are not allowed to appear in the Primordial World without permission.
