Lady Nuwa sighed softly, then withdrew her gaze.
Elsewhere in Chaos, a palace wreathed in Immortal Light rose and fell, emanating dazzling light.
This palace was none other than the Jade Void Palace!
"If not for the Human Race's schemes, more than half my Chan Sect disciples would never have perished. This vengeance must be exacted!"
Primordial Heavenly Venerable sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, an icy gleam in his eyes.
After the Investiture of the Gods Calamity and the founding of Buddhism, their Chan Sect had fallen from a mighty force to a minor sect. Now that he, a Heavenly Dao Saint, had been forced into seclusion, the entire Chan Sect had all but vanished from the Earth Immortal Realm.
The Human Race, by contrast, continued to rise and expand, growing ever more prosperous and powerful. Such a stark contrast naturally enraged Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
"But this is just as well. Without the Vine Dao Venerable presiding over them, let us see who among the Human Race can stop Antarctic's return."
As though something had occurred to him, Primordial Heavenly Venerable sneered. The Antarctic he spoke of was naturally Immortal Elder Antarctic, one of the Primordial Humans and the chief administrator of the Chan Sect!
Among the earliest Primordial Humans, the three most outstanding were Xuandu, Daoist Duobao, and Immortal Elder Antarctic.
Xuandu had now become the Immortal Lord who guarded the Human Race's Dao, while Daoist Duobao was Jiejiao's chief disciple. Only Immortal Elder Antarctic remained in the Chan Sect, managing its affairs on Primordial Heavenly Venerable's behalf. He was an important trump card in his hand.
Previously, Primordial Heavenly Venerable would never have deployed him lightly. But now the Saints had withdrawn into seclusion, and Lin Tian was no longer there to hold the Human Race steady.
