Laozi's Scheme, Xuandu Enters Samsara

The Twelve Golden Immortals appeared imposing, but signs of division had long existed within their ranks.

It was Yuanshi's attitude that had formally encouraged this divide.

Guangchengzi was the most favored, followed by Chijingzi, Taiyi, Southern Pole Immortal Elder, Yuding, and the others.

Cihang, Juliusun, Puxian, Wenshu, and the rest ranked somewhat lower. They were close to Ran Deng.

In their hearts, they secretly refused to accept Guangchengzi as their senior brother.

The third group consisted of Daoist Huanglong. He was the least welcome and least favored insignificant figure in Jade Void Palace, standing alone by himself.

After the small group led by Ran Deng finished their idle chatter and discussed the Dao for a while, they departed separately.

Meanwhile, Guangchengzi headed eagerly to the Human Race to seek out the Human Sovereign.

Within Jade Void Palace.

A ripple appeared in Yuanshi's tranquil gaze, revealing a trace of shock.

"Eldest Brother, are you truly going to do this?"

He had never expected his eldest brother to dare scheme so deeply.

"Fuxi was born a demon, an Innate Divine, yet did he not still become the Celestial Sovereign of the Human Race?"

Laozi asked calmly.

Yuanshi fell silent. The reasoning was sound, but...

"Eldest Brother, even Sages can no longer interfere in the affairs of the Human Race. There are far too many variables in this plan..."

Yuanshi still did not think highly of Laozi's plan and tried to persuade him to abandon the idea.

Laozi sighed softly. "Xuandu has already entered Samsara. There is no chance to turn back."

"Eldest Brother, you—!"

Yuanshi was instantly aghast, staring at Laozi in disbelief. He was shocked by Laozi's decisiveness. Whether this plan could succeed remained unknown, yet his eldest brother had already sent Xuandu into Samsara, leaving no room for retreat!
