The Old and Young Conspire to Swindle Jie Yin and Zhunti

In a sense, Hongjun was relatively selfless.

For example, right now, he told Qing Xuanzi about the wondrous uses of the Seed of Fortune.

Enduring endless desire, he revealed the wondrous uses to Qing Xuanzi.

After hearing this, Qing Xuanzi was stunned.

What was this thing, a Heavenly Dao BUG?

Wouldn't that make me invincible?

Without the coercion of the Heavenly Dao, in Qing Xuan's heart, he was invincible.

He was very confident that no cultivation technique in the Great Desolation could compare to the Five Grand Primordial Arts.

For example, his current thirty-six petal blooming could fully illustrate the point.

Slowly, Qing Xuanzi calmed his mind and called the Three Thousand Congenital Humans over.

"You have all become Immortals. After a hundred years, you shall pass down your orthodoxies, and then come back here to listen to the Dao. I will preach the Dao for you for five hundred years."

Qing Xuanzi's voice rang out, and the Three Thousand Congenital Humans were all overjoyed. They had just stepped into the Immortal Dao.

This was exactly what they lacked.

Thinking of Qing Xuanzi, a Great Luo Golden Immortal with thirty-six petals blooming, preaching the Dao for five hundred years after a hundred years, their hearts burned with fervor.

One by one, after bidding farewell, they hurriedly found their successors.

They passed down all their family's wealth and carefully guided them for a hundred years before coming to the mountaintop and sitting down quietly with crossed legs.

As soon as the hundred years were up, Qing Xuanzi didn't delay and immediately opened his mouth to preach the Dao.

Although Qing Xuanzi's preaching wasn't as magnificent as a Saint's, he was, after all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal with thirty-six petals blooming.

He used the Great Dao advice he had comprehended from the Five Grand Primordial Arts.

That also caused a phenomenon in heaven and earth.

Many monsters around gained sentience because of Qing Xuanzi's five hundred years of preaching.

These sentient monsters were grateful to Qing Xuanzi and voluntarily left the monster race, becoming protectors of the human race in the future.

Just Qing Xuanzi's five hundred years of preaching created the spectacular scene of three thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals appearing in the human race a hundred thousand years later.

It was precisely these Three Thousand Congenital Humans, under Qing Xuanzi's intentional guidance,

who became the foundation of the human race that would stand tall in the Great Desolation in the future.

Five hundred years later, Qing Xuanzi's final preaching voice fell silent.

The Three Thousand Congenital Humans did not immediately wake up; it wasn't until a hundred years later that they all fully awakened.

Just as the Three Thousand Congenital Humans were thanking Qing Xuanzi for imparting the Dao, a voice that Qing Xuanzi disliked rang out in the air.

"Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, congratulations on attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm with thirty-six petals blooming."

"Zhunti?"

Qing Xuanzi felt completely out of sorts. He had attracted this sticky nuisance so quickly?

Actually, the reason Qing Xuanzi disliked the Western teachers and brothers was because of later generations; Buddhism gave him a terrible feeling.

In Qing Xuanzi's eyes, Buddhism was essentially about making people compliant. No matter what, just listen to the Buddha, and everything would be fine.

It made the human race lose their spirit of enterprise.

As for their behavior of constantly trying to recruit people and gain benefits, Qing Xuanzi felt that as long as it didn't involve him, it wasn't annoying.

However, he happened to encounter them at this moment. It seemed highly likely they were targeting him.

He could tell from their wolf-like gaze.

No, perhaps these Three Thousand Congenital Humans were also their prey.

"Junior Brother, I see you have a connection with the West. Why not go to the West and study the Great Law with my Senior Brother? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Just as he was thinking about how this guy was always trying to recruit people, he heard Zhunti's enthusiastic words.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I'm doing quite well cultivating here. If Senior Brother has nothing else, please leave."

Qing Xuanzi didn't give him any face at all and directly started driving him away.

Anyway, this fellow had no shame.

"Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, a Great Luo Golden Immortal with thirty-six petals blooming also needs a stable environment to grow, doesn't he?"

Zhunti's usual tactic came out. If persuasion didn't work, he would threaten. If that still didn't work, he would directly convert them.

These were Zhunti's unique three axes.

Unfortunately, he encountered Qing Xuanzi, Hongjun's closed-door disciple.

There was nothing he didn't want to do in the Great Desolation that anyone could force him to do, except for the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.

Just as he was about to flatly refuse and tell him to try it...

"Agree to him, and then get Jie Yin's Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus." Hongjun's voice transmission arrived.

Hongjun was originally worried that he didn't have any treasures to give Qing Xuanzi as a congratulatory gift.

Then he looked again and thought, Oh ho, those two guys from the West are making a calculation that's shaking the heavens.

They actually calculated against Qing Xuanzi. Don't you know he's my closed-door disciple?

In that case, I'll take your Golden Lotus. Consider it a punishment.

Qing Xuanzi was stunned. Agree to him? Just ask for a Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus? Isn't that too cheap?

Then Hongjun's voice transmission came again:

"They need to make a Heavenly Dao oath: If one day they drive you out of the Western Teachings, they must take the Three Thousand Congenital Humans with them and leave the Western Teachings. From now on, they are not allowed to force the human race to join the Western Teachings, otherwise, they will be annihilated before the Heavenly Dao."

When Qing Xuanzi heard this, he immediately understood Hongjun's plan. He wanted to take back the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus from them for himself, but he had no excuse.

That's why this whole scene was happening.

Heh heh, it feels great to have the biggest backer in the Great Desolation.

"Senior Brother Zhunti, indeed I need a stable environment to grow. Also, do you perhaps want these Three Thousand Congenital Humans to join the Western Sect?"

Qing Xuanzi smiled on the surface, but inwardly he thought: If I don't screw you over completely, I'm not Qing Xuanzi.

When Zhunti heard this, his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he nodded vigorously, saying, "Exactly, exactly! Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi truly knows my heart."

Looking at Zhunti's smiling face, Qing Xuanzi almost threw up his overnight meal. If he hadn't been planning to pull a big one on him, he would have already grabbed a broom and chased him away.

"Actually, since the Human Race is weak, what Senior Brother Zhunti said isn't impossible. However, this junior brother has a condition. If you agree, this junior brother will go with you."

Qing Xuanzi said with a grin, his smile like that of Grey Wolf trying to trick the little sheep.

"Junior Brother, you're being too formal! Don't say one condition, even a thousand or ten thousand, I will agree to them."

Zhunti's chrysanthemum face was practically falling apart, his smile as if he had won five million. Without even thinking, he immediately agreed.

Of course, what he was thinking internally was unknown.

"My condition is very simple. If I bring the Three Thousand Congenital Humans to join the Western Sect, you and Senior Brother Jie Yin must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao:"

"1. If you and Senior Brother Jie Yin betray the Profound Gate, I will immediately take the Three Thousand Congenital Humans and leave the Western Sect. From now on, you are not allowed to force my Human Race to join, otherwise, you will be cut off from the Heavenly Dao."

"2. If one day, you or Senior Brother Jie Yin drive me out of the Western Sect, then I must also take the Three Thousand Congenital Humans and leave the Western Sect. From now on, you are not allowed to force my Human Race to join, otherwise, you will be cut off from the Heavenly Dao."

Qing Xuanzi's demands instantly jolted Zhunti out of his fantasy.

He inwardly exclaimed: How did this little guy know that we would betray the Profound Gate? My senior brother and I haven't even discussed it yet.

Zhunti dared not agree to the first condition Qing Xuanzi proposed.

He laughed heartily and said, "Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, don't you think the first condition is unnecessary? How could our Western Sect betray the Profound Gate? The Dao Ancestor wouldn't allow it either."

"Exactly! The Western Sect definitely won't betray the Profound Gate, so this condition of mine is essentially free. Isn't that good?"

"This, this, Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, I, your senior brother, think that since it's an invalid condition, it's better to remove it. As for the second condition, I, your senior brother, will definitely agree. I can immediately swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao."

Zhunti thought to himself: I definitely can't swear an oath for the first condition, wouldn't that be setting a trap for myself?

As for the second condition, that's whatever. It's a joke. I put so much effort into getting them, how could I possibly drive them away?

It seems this Qing Xuanzi either isn't very smart or he has high hopes for my Western Sect.

In fact, the first condition was deliberately set by Qing Xuanzi to scare Zhunti.

Now that the goal has probably been achieved, let them swear the oath.

"Alright, the first condition is not needed. Go call Senior Brother Jie Yin. After the two senior brothers swear the oath, I and the Three Thousand Congenital Humans will go with you."

Qing Xuanzi deliberately emphasized "Three Thousand" and "Congenital" to make Zhunti a little confused, which would make things easier.
