Scheming

In the Primordial Era, there were Four Great Lotus Platforms.

The Twelve-Petal Black Lotus of World Destruction, Luo Hou's accompanying supreme treasure, its whereabouts are still unknown.

The Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus is currently in Qing Xuanzi's hands.

The Twelve-Petal White Lotus of World Purification, its location is unknown, Qing Xuanzi speculates it might be in Nüwa's hands.

The Twelve-Petal Red Lotus of Karma Fire was born in the Blood Sea, emerging with the birth of the Asura.

Now, it has been directly released by the Heavenly Dao.

The location of the Demon Court is the Great Luo Heaven among the Nine Heavens. At this moment, the Red Lotus of Karma Fire stands proudly in the Great Luo Heaven.

Its purpose is very clear, it is obviously meant to be given to the Demon Clan.

Could the Witch Race agree to that?

The answer is definitely no.

The Twelve-Petal Red Lotus of Karma Fire burns karma fire.

It is precisely the nemesis of the Ancestral Witch's true body.

Seeing that the Demon Clan's attempt to create the Witch Slaughtering Sword was likely unsuccessful, the Heavenly Dao immediately brought out the Red Lotus of Karma Fire.

Originally, even if the Red Lotus of Karma Fire were to appear, it would definitely not fall into the hands of the Demon Clan.

After all, there are six Saints in the Primordial Era.

But the Heavenly Dao had tampered with the Red Lotus of Karma Fire.

For example, right now, the six Saints are surrounding the Red Lotus of Karma Fire, their brows tightly furrowed.

Further out, the Witch Race and the Demon Clan are divided into two sides, each occupying one side, watching each other like tigers.

The Demon Clan's goal is to obtain the Red Lotus of Karma Fire, while the Witch Race's goal is to prevent the Demon Clan from getting it.

No matter who it goes to, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the Demon Clan.

This has always been the principle of the Witch Race.

"Big Brother, is there a way?" Tongtian looked at the Red Lotus of Karma Fire with extreme longing.

Among the Three Pure Ones, he was the only one who didn't have a good spiritual treasure to suppress his destiny.

The Four Great Lotus Platforms are precisely the best spiritual treasures for suppressing destiny, bar none.

Zhunti and Jie Yin also looked at Laozi with longing, just wanting to hear the word 'yes' from Laozi's mouth.

There was truly nothing they could do. Their own perfectly good lotus platform had been tricked away.

And they had no ability to get it back.

Before, they had the ability but not the courage to ask for it back.

Now, they have neither the ability nor the courage.

Naturally, they were also covetous of this Red Lotus of Karma Fire.

"There's no way," Laozi shook his head. He truly couldn't understand why the Heavenly Dao was like this.

Wasn't this clearly telling all living beings that this was for the Demon Clan?

Qing Xuanzi smiled bitterly and asked Laozi, "Senior Brother, do you know why the Red Lotus of Karma Fire is covered in the Demon Clan's karma?"

"Alas, the Heavenly Dao is unpredictable."

After speaking, Laozi fell silent. He had a vague guess in his heart: could this Red Lotus of Karma Fire be something used to orchestrate the conflict between the Witch Race and the Demon Clan?

If that were the case, it would be better not to get involved.

In the Primordial Era, anyone who got involved in a great calamity never ended well.

Qing Xuanzi naturally knew why. His question was clearly meant to remind the Saints.

To let them know: the so-called war between the Witch Race and the Demon Clan was completely manipulated by the Heavenly Dao.

Before the Saints reached a conclusion, neither the Witch Race nor the Demon Clan would make a move.

Moving would be a waste of effort.

Qing Xuanzi glanced at Nüwa, who shook her head slightly.

He knew that Nüwa also didn't want to get involved with such dense Demon Clan karma.

This left Qing Xuanzi extremely troubled.

If he didn't intervene.

The final result would definitely be a direct war between the Witch Race and the Demon Clan.

He could even guess that during the great war, suddenly, the Red Lotus of Karma Fire would recognize Dijun or Taiyi of the Demon Clan as its master.

The subsequent events were obvious without even thinking: both sides would suffer heavy losses.

Then, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun would appear again, followed by each side going their separate ways to silently lick their wounds and wait for the next great war.

Perhaps this would even be used as an excuse to scheme against Houtu again.

Qing Xuanzi believed that with the current shamelessness of the Heavenly Dao, such a thing was definitely possible.

Qing Xuanzi's CPU was almost burning out, but he was completely helpless.

He was so anxious in his heart, truly wishing he could just go up and snatch it himself.

The last bit of rationality made him restrain himself.

He sighed inwardly: What a pity, if only the Demon Clan had one of our own, why didn't I think of this back then?

Hmm, one of our own.

A flash of inspiration struck Qing Xuanzi's mind, and a name surfaced: Fuxi.

Although Fuxi wasn't one of their own now, he was destined by the heavens to be the Human Emperor of the Human Race in the future.

A little planning was still possible.

Especially since Nüwa and Fuxi are siblings, as long as the Red Lotus of Karma Fire reaches Fuxi's hands.

Through Nüwa's connection, he could use Nüwa's hand to set up some means on the Red Lotus of Karma Fire.

In the future, even if the Heavenly Dao were shameless enough to want to take it back, it probably wouldn't be able to.

Although his means were limited to the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Heavenly Dao would have no way to undo them quickly.

As long as there was this period of buffer.

After Fuxi was reborn, the Red Lotus of Karma Fire would naturally return to his side.

The Heavenly Dao couldn't possibly be shameless enough to directly snatch a cultivator's spiritual treasure, could it?

At that time, the Human Race would have another top-tier congenital spiritual treasure. Heh heh, that would be too awesome.

Having made up his mind, Qing Xuanzi secretly sent a message to Nüwa, containing only two words: Fuxi.

Nüwa was startled at first, then nodded slightly.

Seeing Nüwa agree, Qing Xuanzi immediately sent a message to Dijiang: "Brother Dijiang, I already have an idea for the Red Lotus of Karma Fire. Tell the brothers not to interfere and retreat to the Ancestral Witch Land."

Dijiang and Qing Xuanzi had known each other for over a hundred thousand years and trusted this Human Race brother greatly.

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Brothers, let's go. Let's give it to the feathered birds."

With a whoosh, the Ancestral Witches sang loudly, 'The great saber is aimed at the feathered birds...'

They returned from whence they came.

Before the Demon Clan could react, Qing Xuanzi coughed and said, "Fellow Saints, it seems this treasure is not fated for us. How about I make a suggestion?"

Laozi smiled slightly, knowing that Qing Xuanzi, who never returned empty-handed, had an idea. He said, "Let's hear it."

As the senior brother, Laozi spoke, and everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what brilliant idea Qing Xuanzi had.

Qing Xuanzi cleared his throat and said, "This treasure is good, but unfortunately, only the Demon Clan can take it. Do you all agree with this?"

"Stop rambling. Just tell us your idea. Anyone who isn't blind can see this," Zhunti was clearly still wary of Qing Xuanzi's schemes.

He was truly afraid of Qing Xuanzi.

Looking back since Qing Xuanzi's appearance, he had always schemed against others and had never suffered a loss from anyone else.

"Heh heh, Saint Zhunti, don't be anxious. I'll say it now."

"Since that's the case, why don't we just give this treasure to the Demon Clan? It can also show our impartiality, can't it?"

"That sounds nice, but there are so many people in the Demon Clan, who do you plan to give it to?" Jie Yin was unhappy. If this Qing Xuanzi randomly chose a small demon, wouldn't there be an opportunity?

"Naturally, we cannot choose randomly. The Demon Clan has Demon Emperor Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Emperor Fuxi, right? How about giving it to Dijun?"

Qing Xuanzi finally got to the point.

"No, I disagree," Zhunti immediately jumped out. Anyway, whatever Qing Xuanzi agreed with, he would oppose. That was always right.

Excellent, I was waiting for you to say that. Without your words, this matter would be difficult for me to handle.

Qing Xuanzi had long expected that Zhunti would definitely object, and he was just waiting for him to object.

He continued, "Then give it to Taiyi?"

"Hmph, Taiyi already has the Eastern Emperor Bell, that's enough." This time, it was Jie Yin who objected.

As for the Three Pure Ones, they had long seen through it. Qing Xuanzi's true intention was not in the wine.

He was just playing with those two fools.

So they remained silent, quietly watching the show.

Needless to say, Nüwa had already been informed by Qing Xuanzi, so she also smiled and watched the show.

Jie Yin and Zhunti each objected to one person, almost completely infuriating Dijun and Taiyi.

They were also extremely frustrated, feeling that their own clan's treasure had to be distributed by others.

What kind of situation was this?

Even if it was to be distributed, they were repeatedly objecting.

"Alright, then you do it." Qing Xuanzi shrugged and said.

Jie Yin and Zhunti were stunned. What was going on?

The target was gone.

There was no target to object to; they themselves had become the target.

Zhunti thought for a moment and said, "Then let it be Fuxi."

Well, Qing Xuanzi's intention was perfectly executed.

The Three Pure Ones hadn't agreed yet.

A cold voice came, "No."

Qing Xuanzi thought to himself: This is bad, the Heavenly Dao has intervened.
