The Western Teaching Was a Tough Bone to Chew

The third-generation disciples of the Profound Sect were thrilled upon hearing the reward.

No one expected that the Taiqing Saint would be so wealthy and powerful, offering three Innate Spiritual Treasure in one go.

In particular, the Plantain Fan, Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, was coveted by many guests in the Purple Cloud Palace.

If circumstances allowed, they would have loved to join in this debate and contest between disciples, but now they can only sigh in regret.

"Three Innate Spiritual Treasure —what a magnificent display of power from the Taiqing Saint!"

"Even Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure has appeared; it seems the upcoming battle will be even more exciting than I imagined."

"Yes! With a spiritual treasure before them, these disciples will probably all do their utmost."

"Even so, the champion will still emerge from among several Late Taiyi Stage disciples."

Taiqing finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke.

"Since you're so interested, I won't be stingy."

With a flick of his sleeve, he produced three Innate Spiritual Treasure, also of the upper, middle, and lower grades.

There's not much to say about low- to Innate Spiritual Treasure; the High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is the Jade Pure Bottle.

Although this treasure only produces Primordial Dark Water, it also produces a drop of Three Lights Divine Water every 30,000 years.

This treasure is a great treasure to other powerful beings, but it is somewhat useless to Yuanshi Tianzun. He is a saint, possesses the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and has no shortage of the Three Lights Divine Water.

The Shangqing Saint laughed loudly and spoke frankly.

"Since both of you elder brothers have already brought out your finest items, I, this humble Daoist, cannot fall behind. I will bestow these three treasures upon the top three."

With a flash of light, the three Innate Spiritual Treasure floated in the air, shining brightly and radiating profound laws.

Needless to say, the lower-grade innate spiritual treasures were all the more important; all the immortals' eyes were now focused on the Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Water-Fire Diagram contains the Two Modes of Water-Fire, and can be transformed into Water-Fire Dao Diagram to defend against enemies. It integrates offense and defense and is infinitely mysterious.

The immortals thought the rewards would end there.

The Profound Sect Dao Debate Assembly was initiated by the Three Pure Ones and held at Kunlun Mountain. Their provision of spiritual treasures was an act of hospitality and also elevated the conference's prestige.

Unexpectedly, the Saint Nuwa spoke.

"Since my three senior brothers have all brought out their treasures, I shall also join in the fun. Although I have not established a great sect or taken on any disciples, I am still considered a sage of the Profound Sect, and it is only right that I contribute something."

During the conversation, she raised her hand.

The Saint Nuwa took out an object that emitted a crimson flame.

It was indeed Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Fire Spirit Pearl.

This treasure rose into the void, vying with the Plantain Fan, the Jade Pure Bottle, and the Water-Fire Diagram, their brilliance shining brightly and reaching the heavens.

The other six Innate Spiritual Treasure were pushed to the edge.

However, Nuwa did not continue to take low- Innate Spiritual Treasure, which was naturally to give face to the Three Pure Ones.

As the host country, there must be something special to highlight its status.

Both Sage Jieyin and Sage Jieyin were somewhat at Zhunti loss. The Western Lands was barren, and they did not have many Innate Spiritual Treasure. However, now that Four Saints had brought out their treasures, if they did not make a gesture, the prestige of the Western Teaching would likely plummet.

They were forced into this situation and had no choice but to bleed money.

Since they had no choice but to do it, and the matter was now at hand, the two saints stopped hesitating and readily took out two spiritual treasures.

Jieyin was always taciturn, so only Zhunti could speak.

"Our Western Lands is barren, and we can only offer two Middle-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure treasures to make up the difference. Consider this a reward for the first place winner; I hope you will not find them disrespectful."

The Western Lands is impoverished is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

All the immortals expressed their understanding.

In fact, the fact that the Two Sages of the West were able to produce Middle-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was already unexpected, adding luster to this Profound Sect Assembly.

Then, Zhunti caught a glimpse of Zhu Yin out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly his lips twitched. Perhaps, their Western Teaching would not lose this time, but would even make a big profit.

Gazing at the Innate Spiritual Treasure vying for brilliance in the sky, Zhu Yin felt conflicted. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to understand something and made a decision. Looking at the eager third-generation disciples, he became more calm and composed.

"Now that the rewards have been given, I hereby declare the Daoist exchange and competition between the third and fourth generation disciples of the Profound Sect sect officially commence."

"This time, disciples can take turns challenging their fellow disciples. The one who lasts until the end will be the champion."

At the command of the Taiqing Saint, the third-generation disciples, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately took action.

The first to step forward was a disciple of a powerful Profound Sect.

He only had the cultivation level of Late Golden Immortal, and he was self-aware enough to state his position right away, saying that he did not aspire to compete for the top three, but only wanted to witness the profound mysteries of the four major religions.

When Lingya Immortal of the Jie Interception Sect appeared, he fought against him for dozens of rounds and won. Regardless of his private life, even Jie Sect Disciple like Lingya Immortal became very particular at the Profound Sect Assembly.

Whether it was going up on stage to compete or ultimately winning, they were all very polite, showing the demeanor of disciples of a great sect.

This is because they know that they represent not only themselves, but also the great religion behind them, and even the four major religions of the Profound Sect, or more precisely, the Eastern Three Teachings.

Even Yuanshi Tianzun, who had always looked down on the Jie Sect Disciple, had to admit that the Jie Sect Disciple sometimes had a good sense of the big picture, and he was quite satisfied with Lingya Immortal's performance this time.

Unfortunately, old habits die hard.

This state of affairs will continue until the end of the Profound Sect Assembly.

Otherwise, he could accept these cheap apprentices.

Following Lingya Immortal's opening act, the other third-generation disciples of the Profound Sect immediately took to the stage.

For the first three hundred years, it was all about the disciples of the Golden Immortal exchanging skills.

Various fighting techniques emerged one after another, supernatural powers and magical treasures were everywhere, and all kinds of great paths were also strange and wonderful. The third-generation disciples were broadened in their horizons, and the great masters of the Profound Sect were also very interested in watching.

In the following century, the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal began to appear one after another.

Initially, it was a disciple of the Profound Sect Quasi-Sage sect challenging disciples of the four sects, which was quite impressive. Unfortunately, he still lost more than he won and was still no match for the disciples of the four sects.

Even so, they had already shown their talent and had not disgraced their sect. In the years that followed, it was the disciples of the four sects who faced off against each other.

The main issue is the conflict between the Eastern Three Teachings and the Western Teaching.

Both sides had their victories and defeats, and in the end, the Eastern Three Teachings had only about thirty members left, while the Western Teaching had only a dozen or so.

It appears that the Eastern Three Teachings have the upper hand, but the powerful beings know that the Western Teaching actually has the upper hand in this battle.

The fact that one religion could stand against Three Teachings and reach this point is enough to demonstrate the strength of the Western Teaching.

Saint Zhunti beamed with joy, Saint Jieyin's suffering temporarily vanished, Empress Nuwa wore a strange expression, and the Three Pure Ones had complex expressions.

The elite disciples of the Three Teachings also understood this principle, and they all harbored a burning desire for revenge.

Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves— the Three Teachings were originally one family.

Their original plan was to unite against external forces, oust the Western Teaching members, and then engage in internal strife.

Unexpectedly, Western Teaching turned out to be a tough nut to crack.

The other Primordial Unity Golden Immortal were one thing, but the remaining dozen or so disciples were all incredibly powerful, especially the five disciples under Venerable Zhu Yin, whose cultivation was at least in the Mid Grand Unity.

Apart from Cihang, all of them achieved breakthroughs while listening to sages preach.

After thousands of years and several battles, they have digested what they have learned, their cultivation is stable, and each one is more difficult to deal with than the last.
