Seeking no benefit at all-how could that possibly do? That was precisely why Lin Tian had sent Lu Shiping to the Purple Heaven Palace to hear the Dao and offend Hongjun, who had arranged for her to listen alongside juniors such as the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. That way, Lu Shiping could count as their peer. They were all classmates who had attended the Dao Ancestor's lectures together, so when the time came to act against them, no one could say a word.
Moreover, with Lu Shiping's cultivation at the pinnacle of the Quasi-Saint realm, she could utterly crush the others. Before the six Saints attained sainthood, the Spirit Vine lineage would enjoy an enormous advantage throughout the entire Witch-Demon Calamity! As for after the six Saints attained sainthood, Lu Shiping would more or less have become a Saint herself. Then they would only have to wait for those few in the Spacetime Realm to attain sainthood before launching the war between the two realms.
Of course, they could not rely entirely on Lu Shiping for all this. Once she became a Saint, they could hardly keep asking her to deal with the six Saints' second-generation disciples. It was time for the Spirit Vine lineage to take in some fresh blood! At that thought, several plans instantly formed in Lin Tian's mind.
Meanwhile, inside the Purple Heaven Palace, once everyone had settled into their seats, Haotian and Yaochi slowly closed the great hall's doors.
"Since you have come to the Purple Heaven Palace, you share a karmic bond with me. I am the first Saint of the Primordial World, charged with enlightening all beings on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. I shall expound the Dao to all living beings three times, once every three thousand years, with each lecture
