Tongtian smiled faintly. "There is no need to repay me. I see that your cultivation is only at the mid Qi Refining Stage, yet you were able to instantly kill more than a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals. Such talent is unparalleled throughout the ages. Would you be interested in joining my Intercepting Sect?"
Join the Intercepting Sect? I now possessed the Mythical Great Luo cultivation method, and I also had the system at my side. There was absolutely no need for me to join the Intercepting Sect. Still, Tongtian was a forthright man. Being friends with him would be a good choice.
"Saint Tongtian, I have no intention of joining any sect. The human race needs someone to protect it now. I hope you can forgive me, Saint Tongtian!"
Hearing this, Tongtian smiled freely. "No matter. Since you are unwilling to join the Intercepting Sect, I will not force you. If you change your mind someday, the Intercepting Sect will welcome you at any time."
"Thank you for your favor, Saint."
Immediately afterward, Ling Wudao looked at Nüwa beside him. "Holy Mother Nüwa, I misunderstood you earlier. Wudao offers you an apology."
"It is nothing. I was unable to arrive in time, so it was only natural for you to misunderstand."
"Fortunately, you shattered the stone statue. Otherwise, I truly would not have had the chance to break through and get here."
"Enough. What comes next is not something you can participate in. Go down and protect the remaining humans."
Hearing Nüwa's words, Ling Wudao nodded slightly. He understood very well that the current battle between Saints was not something a mid Qi Refining Stage cultivator like him could participate in. Unless he broke through to the late stage, he would not be able to help at all.
Of course, unless he used the Future Talisman, participating was impossible.
With that thought, Ling Wudao immediately flew downward.
When Nüwa saw Ling Wudao fly down, she immediately raised her head and looked at Saint Taiqing. "You had best leave Shouyang Mountain now. Otherwise, even if my cultivation drops greatly, I will make you shed a layer of skin."
As her words fell, Nüwa brought out the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram, the Red Embroidered Ball, the Seven Mouths Heavenly Light Divine Knife, and the Seven Stars Retrieving Moon Whip.
Seeing Nüwa take out so many treasures at once, Taiqing knew that she was getting serious.
Yuanshi looked at Taiqing beside him, then transmitted his voice, "Senior Brother, Nüwa is getting serious. Are we still going to continue stopping her?"
"Of course we must stop her. Our plan is to let the demon race obtain the Witch Slaughtering Sword. This is also Master's intention. Moreover, the Witch Race has always competed with us for the title of Pangu's orthodox lineage. Using the demon race to destroy them is also a good thing."
Immediately afterward, Taiqing transmitted his voice to Jie Yin and Zhun Ti. "Junior Brothers, please assist us in stopping Nüwa. Otherwise, the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao will be disrupted. If Master holds us accountable, none of us can bear the consequences."
Hearing Taiqing's words, Zhun Ti immediately transmitted his voice secretly to Jie Yin. "Senior Brother, should we help Taiqing and the others?"
"We naturally must help, but we cannot help for nothing. If we do not ask for some benefits at a time like this, would we not have come here for nothing?"
"Wonderful, wonderful. In that case, let us ask Taiqing for some benefits."
After the two finished speaking through voice transmission, Jie Yin immediately replied to Taiqing, "We brothers can certainly help, but with Senior Sister Nüwa in such a rage, I fear the two of us may not be able to offer much assistance!"
Hearing this, Taiqing knew that these two bald donkeys wanted benefits.
"Junior Brother Jie Yin, if you can help us stop Nüwa, I will give you ten Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. How about it?"
A glint flashed through Jie Yin's eyes upon hearing Taiqing's words. Nine Revolutions Golden Pills were excellent treasures. A single pill could allow an ordinary mortal to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal. He had not expected Taiqing to be willing to offer ten of them.
"Since Senior Brother Taiqing is willing to offer ten, we will do our utmost to help stop Senior Sister Nüwa."
Immediately afterward, Taiqing, Yuanshi, Jie Yin, and Zhun Ti looked toward Nüwa and Tongtian.
Yuanshi spoke to Tongtian. "Third Brother, do you also intend to interfere in this matter?"
Tongtian looked at Yuanshi with a grave expression. "Second Brother, although the human race faces a great calamity, all things retain a sliver of hope. What you are doing is somewhat excessive."
"The human race's great calamity is ordained by Heaven. Nüwa wishes to defy Heaven, so we must naturally stop her. Third Brother, I advise you not to interfere in this matter. Otherwise, do not blame your elder brother for taking action against you."
At this moment, Ling Wudao below heard Yuanshi's words, and the anger in his heart steadily accumulated, as though it would erupt like a volcano in the next instant.
What a heaven-ordained grand trend. This was all nothing more than Hongjun's scheme. He wanted to suppress the Human Dao and prevent it from emerging. Then today, I will let the Human Dao emerge completely. I would like to see what that old bastard Hongjun can do to me!
At this moment, Ling Wudao had been thoroughly enraged by Yuanshi's words. Originally, he had wanted to see whether Hongjun would appear, but now he no longer wanted to endure it. He only wanted to teach Yuanshi, Taiqing, and the others a lesson.
Ling Wudao slowly flew up from the ground and positioned himself between Nüwa and Tongtian. Then, with an angry expression, he looked at Yuanshi, Taiqing, and the others.
"What a heaven-ordained grand trend. From the moment our human race emerged until now, we have never done anything that harmed the Great Desolation. This so-called heaven-ordained grand trend is nothing but a joke!"
"Yuanshi, as the leader of the Chan Sect, you may appear incomparably glorious, but in truth, you are merely a pitiful fool being manipulated by others. You are being plotted against, yet you are still helping them do their work."
"And you, Taiqing, have you forgotten who helped you attain the Dao?"
"Everything you have achieved today was brought to you by our human race. Without us, you would not even have been qualified to become a Saint."
"Yet now that the human race is facing danger, not only do you refuse to help us, you instead help the demon race. A beast worse than pigs and dogs like you—what right do you have to stand here?"
"If I were you, I would dig a hole and bury myself right now."
The moment those words came out, Taiqing and Yuanshi's expressions instantly darkened.
Taiqing spoke coldly, "Boy, the karma of the human race helping me become a Saint has already been repaid. The human race faces this calamity because it is the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao. As a Heavenly Dao Saint, how could I possibly defy Heaven?"
Hearing Taiqing's shameless words, Ling Wudao laughed completely, and his laughter was wild.
"Taiqing, you dog, you say you have repaid the karma of becoming a Saint? Are you joking? You think a mere Golden Core Great Dao is enough to repay the karma of becoming a Saint? You truly are thick-skinned and shameless!"
"And do you think no one knows about your despicable methods? That Golden Core Great Dao is not a cultivation technique suitable for the human race at all. Instead, it is a technique that suppresses the human race's growth."
"So long as anyone cultivates your Golden Core Great Dao, half of their fortune will be divided away to you. Using such methods to harm the human race, you are simply a hypocritical and shameless villain."
"On the surface, you speak of governing through inaction, but in truth, you want everything and want to seize everything. If Great God Pangu knew he had a descendant like you, he would probably be so furious that he would come back to life!"
After being ruthlessly insulted by Ling Wudao, Taiqing's expression instantly became exceedingly ugly.
