Profound Gate Sacrificial Spirit

The tea stall was silent for a moment, then Laozi said, "Actually, it's not that it can't be broken."

Hongjun glanced at Laozi and said meaningfully, "You mean to destroy Wang Shu and erase all traces of her existence?"

Laozi remained silent, only nodding quietly.

Tongtian bluntly said, "No, elder brother, if we do that, what difference will there be between our Xuanmen and the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

Yuanshi, on the other hand, adopted an attitude of indifference, having only one plan.

That means whatever you decide to do, he will do.

Nüwa said with a hint of reluctance, "Goddess Wangshu compassionate and has a very good reputation in the Primordial World. We really shouldn't treat her like this."

Laozi Tzu remained indifferent. Of course, he knew that doing so was unreasonable, but he still insisted on his opinion.

"For the sake of the Primordial World, for the sake of chaos, my Dao Heart is clear."

In truth, everyone knows that Laozi's suggestion is the most correct one: sacrifice one person to secure the future of the Primordial World.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it's a feasible solution—a very simple and feasible solution.

Seeing that Qing Xuanzi was hesitant to express his opinion, Laozi simply said, "Qing Xuanzi, I will be responsible for implementing the suggestions I have made. If any trouble arises in the future, I will take full responsibility."

Qing Xuanzi sighed and said, "Alas, Laozi Brother Laozi, it's not that I disagree with your proposal, but this proposal is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Although it can solve the current situation, once this precedent is set, there is a danger of losing morality in the future. Even if Primordial World successfully upgrades, there is a possibility that it will repeat the old path of the Dao Tribulation Great World. In that case, we will be sinners, sinners even more despicable than the Heavenly Dao Sect."

Those who cultivate the Tao cultivate their minds. Once they start doing so, their Dao Heart tend to become ruthless, and everything is done for personal gain.

There is a high probability that we will follow the old path of the Dao Tribulation Great World again. Will another Pangu appear then?

Qing Xuanzi's words plunged the Sages into silence once more.

Laozi Tzu broke out in a cold sweat. Recalling his words, he seemed to see his past self reflected in them.

He thought he had completely given up on the Path of Ruthlessness, but suddenly discovered that the shadow of the Path of Ruthlessness still lingered in his Dao Heart.

Although he may have been influenced by his previous feelings of shame, he was eager to express his intention to protect the Primordial World and inherit Pangu's legacy.

But Dao Heart ultimately chose the path of ruthlessness.

Recalling Hongjun's meaningful gaze just now, he immediately understood that Hongjun had seen that his Dao Heart had still not been able to break free from the ruthless Dao.

"Actually, there is another way to break this deadlock," Qing Xuanzi suddenly broke the silence.

"What method?" Tongtian asked, his tone somewhat anxious. He knew that if there was no other way, he might have no choice but to adopt Laozi's suggestion.

Then his elder brother might fall into the trap and become a victim of the ruthless Dao.

The Sages also looked over, their eyes filled with longing. They all wanted to know if Qing Xuanzi, who had always created miracles, could create another one.

"This method is very simple. Wang Shu is the sacrificial spirit of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Although she herself knows nothing about it, it is difficult to change this fact. Since that's the case, let's also put forward a sacrificial spirit from our Xuanmen and compete with her for the fortune."

As soon as Qing Xuanzi finished speaking, Hongjun, who had been looking distressed, was overjoyed. He immediately made the decision. "Good, this method is just right. It is upright and dignified, and it is the way of a gentleman."

"The most crucial aspect of this method is selecting the Profound Gate Sacrificial Spirit. Any mistake will plunge the Xuanmen into utter ruin." Nüwa's beautiful eyes lit up, instantly understanding the greatest advantage of this method, while also pointing out its greatest drawback.

"Yes, yes, Junior Sister Nuwa is right. We should carefully consider who to choose as the sacrificial spirit!" Tongtian rubbed his hands together, looking impatient.

"Third brother, what are you so excited about? Anyway, they're not going to choose you Jie Sect Disciple."

"Second brother, you're going too far. What's wrong with the Jie Sect Disciple? Take Duobao for example, look how well-behaved he is."

"Yes, how could a dream listener be disobedient?"

Tongtian's face turned bright red Tongtian. Damn it, this is the only hobby I have, how did everyone find out?

Qing Xuanzi watched with a smile as Tongtian was utterly humiliated by Yuanshi's shout.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, your hobby is actually quite good. Keep it up! Fellow senior brothers and sisters, Master, I do have someone in mind."

Tell me about it.

"My Yuanshi brother Yuanshi has a disciple who was transformed from a lotus seed of the Twelve-Petal White Lotus of World Purification. He was born with a compassionate heart and can serve as Profound Gate Sacrificial Spirit."

"Cihang?" Yuanshi's face lit up with joy. It was a great honor for his disciple to become Profound Gate Sacrificial Spirit. However, as a sacrificial spirit, it was related to the rise and fall of the entire Xuanmen. Upon hearing this, he immediately calmed down and began to think carefully.

Hongjun already had someone in mind, namely his attendant Haotian.

However, after hearing what Qing Xuanzi said, his eyes lit up, and this person seemed to be more suitable.

To gain the recognition of the Primordial World beings, one must be born into the Profound Gate Sacrificial Spirit and possess a compassionate heart.

The establishment of a sacrificial rite requires the approval of the living beings, unlike other positions in the Primordial World where only a decree needs to be issued.

"Alright, it's her. But we must arrange a suitable position for her. Qing Xuanzi, since you proposed this plan, you must have already made your decision. Tell me all about it."

Hongjun readily agreed to the candidate proposed by Qing Xuanzi.

"Master, I have considered this. There was originally an Nánjí Great Emperor in the Heavenly Court who was in charge of the blessings, fortunes, and longevity of the Primordial World. How about changing him to the Great Compassionate and Merciful Boundless Avalokiteśvara?"

"Alright, you can communicate with the Heavenly Dao yourself."

"It's alright. I just notified Fate to change my destiny, so it should be fine by now."

"..."

Elucidating Sect, Jade Void Palace.

"Cihang, the teachers have decided to give you more responsibilities and let you take up the post of Great Compassionate and Merciful Boundless Avalokiteśvara in Heavenly Court."

Yuanshi summoned his disciples and announced this in public.

Cihang was completely bewildered. What position: Great Compassionate and Merciful Boundless Avalokiteśvara?

It's clear that this position was probably created to settle her down.

Is it really that casual? Well, in the current Heavenly Dao, once Qing Xuanzi Heavenly Venerable speaks, who can disobey?

But for some reason, I had a feeling of familiarity with it.

"Your disciple obeys the decree and will now go to the Heavenly Court to take up his post."

"Wait a minute. Although this position belongs to the Heavenly Court, you do not need to go to the Heavenly Court. This position is similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor. All disciples, listen to my command. You must assist Cihang well. If you are negligent, you will be expelled from the Elucidating Sect."

Yuanshi's words were extremely serious, directly stripping him of his status Chan Sect Disciple.

Upon hearing this, the disciples below began to look around, glancing at Cihang a few more times.

What exactly did Cihang do to earn such high regard from her teacher?

No, it should be the unanimous praise of all the Sages.

"From the day Cihang takes office, the Jade Void Palace will be led by Cihang. I have decided to retire. Not only that, all the saints in the Primordial World will also retire. From now on, the Three Teachings of Xuanmen will be Cihang by Cihang."

Yuanshi's words directly elevated Cihang to the highest position in the Xuanmen (Daoist) sect.

Unless the Sages return, she will be the leader of the Xuanmen sect.

What exactly went wrong with those saints?
