"Indeed, this undertaking follows the great tide of the Heavenly Dao. We shall certainly lend our full support!"
Cult Leader Tongtian spoke with a smile, his gaze laden with meaning as it turned toward the Two Western Saints.
"This undertaking is most commendable. My Human Teaching also supports it wholeheartedly!"
Heavenly Venerable Virtue nodded slightly, a calculating gleam flashing through his eyes.
"Since the Dao Ancestor has spoken, I too shall lend my full support."
Lady Nuwa's eyes flashed as she nodded.
Seeing the Heavenly Saints all change their attitudes at once, the Two Western Saints felt a vague unease stirring within them.
They also knew that the scripture pilgrims were of tremendous importance. Yet before Dao Ancestor Hongjun, they naturally dared not say much. They could only grit their teeth and say, "Since our fellow Daoists are so supportive, our Buddhist Sect is willing to relinquish two places among the scripture pilgrims."
Truth be told, Heaven had ordained five people to face this calamity. For Jieyin and Zhunti to surrender two places in one stroke was already a painfully steep price.
"In that case, I shall claim one place in my capacity as Heavenly Emperor, sovereign of the Three Realms. Do any of my fellow Daoists object?"
As Lin Tian spoke calmly, his gaze swept over Heavenly Venerable Virtue and Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
The two had just suffered devastating losses and had yet to catch their breath. How could they dare utter a word of refusal now?
"The Human Race is flourishing. It is only reasonable for Fellow Daoist Vine Dao Venerable to claim a place. Ten Thousand Immortals come to pay homage to my Jiejiao, and we have countless disciples. We too should have a place."
Seeing Lin Tian claim one place, Cult Leader Tongtian immediately followed suit.
