As they watched the Three Pure Ones' gazes sweep over them, seemingly casually yet deliberately...
Jieyin and Zhunti were almost frantic enough to cry!
Aside from Hongjun, they were the most miserable of the seven great Sages. They had once at least been able to bully Nüwa, but then she had latched onto Daochen's coattails.
That meant...
Of the seven great Sages in the entire Primordial World, the two of them had it the worst!
They had neither Magic Treasures nor a decent origin foundation!
Precisely because of that, although they threw their weight around before outsiders, they always kept their tails tucked between their legs among the other Sages.
Now, a few words from Daochen had put them squarely in the Three Pure Ones' sights.
As for what exactly the Three Pure Ones had their eyes on...
Jieyin and Zhunti knew without even asking.
What else but those damned Buddha Ancestor Golden Beads!
It would have been fine if they could mass-produce the things.
But after their Sagehood Attainment, the two of them had painstakingly condensed them over endless years, only managing to produce those two beads with tremendous difficulty. Now the Three Pure Ones had set their sights on them.
Laozi would have been manageable.
He only had Xuan Du under his tutelage.
With some time and careful effort, they could still condense one.
As for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, although he did not have all that many disciples, he still had a full twelve!
Even if someone beat the two of them to death, they could not condense that many Buddha Ancestor Golden Beads!
And Tongtian???
Uh...
Best forget about him!
That fellow counted his disciples by the thousand, boasting the ten thousand immortals of the Jade Void Sect.
You expected Jieyin and Zhunti to condense that
