The Two Sages of the West Sought to Destroy Chaoge

Just as Tongtian began to comprehend the way of the Sword Dao.

It is a place 900 million miles away from the Interception Sect.

A dark and gloomy underworld.

The place is quite vibrant and full of life.

But it is rarely visited by people.

Endless black spiritual energy spread throughout the entire land.

There was no light to be seen.

"Why."

Just then...

Two sighs echoed from the dimly lit space.

The place from which the sighs originated.

A somber aura drifted outwards.

Gradually, two ragged and disheveled Daoist priests came into view.

The two Daoist priests were enveloped in a faint golden light, preventing the black mist from getting close.

Beneath them, a golden lotus flower supported them.

With a slight rotation, it condensed into a golden barrier, preventing the leakage of its aura.

These two were none other than the Two Sages of the West who had previously left Purple Cloud Palace: Jieyin and Zhunti.

After leaving Purple Cloud Palace

They were on their way to the Human Clan.

I deeply felt that the spiritual energy in my body was not condensed, and I had not set up a corresponding plan.

Thus, the two arrived at the border between the Eastern and Western Primordial World.

At this very moment.

Sitting cross-legged in mid-air, Zhunti cautiously looked around and said.

"Senior brother, we're hiding in this dark and gloomy environment, so we shouldn't be detected by Tongtian and Yuanshi, right?"

Zhunti has always been timid. Even though he has become a saint, when it comes to admitting defeat, no one is faster than him.

After hearing what Zhunti said...

Jieyin around and felt that his internal energy was complete, and his Sage energy was gradually recovering.

Moreover, due to the previous battle and escape, his aura had become even more refined.

A sense of joy welled up inside me, and even the slight feeling of crisis gradually diminished.

"Junior brother, you're overthinking it."

Even if Tongtian Yuanshi finds his way here, what do we have to fear?

Hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti was speechless... "Isn't it you who chose to hide in a place like this a little longer in the first place?"

Zhunti this, Zhunti didn't want to continue discussing this topic and changed the subject.

"Senior brother, I have a feeling that our confinement in the Purple Cloud Palace wasn't such a bad thing after all. Not only have our injuries almost fully recovered, but our cultivation level has also improved."

"This is a blessing in disguise..."

"This will be of great benefit to our future actions in the human world."

Upon hearing this, a meaningful look flashed in Jieyin's eyes.

This is probably not a case of turning misfortune into blessing, but rather something the Dao Ancestor intentionally did.

After all, their previous injuries to their primordial spirits were not something that could be healed in a short time.

However, Jieyin didn't dare say these words aloud; instead, he said...

"Indeed, my primordial spirit power, the old wound from the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, and the stability of my cultivation realm have all been improved."

"The Purple Cloud Palace truly lives up to its reputation as the Dao Ancestor's sacred site; the spiritual energy it contains is truly formidable!"

"However, we must not spread the news of our restored strength. If we encounter Tongtian and Yuanshi in the future, we will say that our strength is not what it used to be."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti immediately nodded and said, "What Senior Brother says is true."

Jieyin remained silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered the things he Zhunti on the way, and asked.

"Junior brother, I just asked you to release your divine sense to investigate the background of the Human Clan's Investiture of the Gods to godhood. How did it go?"

Zhunti clasped his hands together in response.

"Senior brother, we've almost finished investigating."

"The breaking point of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was in the Great Shang of the Human Clan."

"The fortunes of the Great Shang are steadily declining, as if an irresistible force is interfering."

"However, the Interception Sect chose the Great Shang. My junior brother has already discovered Wen Zhong of the Interception Sect and is leading his Jie Sect Disciple to the Human Clan, the Great Shang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this...

Jieyin nodded to himself, saying, "This is within my expectations."

"The Interception Sect is said to have ten thousand immortals paying homage, and even Human Clan disciples without spiritual roots have been recruited into the sect. There are also many Human Clan in the Great Shang Dynasty's Chaoge who are Jie Sect Disciple. It is not unreasonable for the Interception Sect to step forward to help the Great Shang."

What about the Chan Sect?

Zhunti replied, "The Chan Sect also Human Clan disciples. I believe the Chan Sect has sent Jiang Ziya down the mountain."

"But we haven't found out exactly where they're going yet, though we estimate it's somewhere among the other Human Clan kingdoms..."

"I wonder what secrets Yuanshi and Taishang will conspire after the Chan Sect lost the initiative, since the leader of the Chan Sect is Taishang!"

Zhunti spoke, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

"However, it's not necessarily true that the Interception Sect lost the initiative."

"The fortunes of the Great Shang Dynasty are waning. It's possible that the Interception Sect didn't seize the initiative, but rather grabbed a hot potato! It might just be a problem!"

Upon hearing Zhunti's words, Jieyin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a plan began to form in his mind.

"Junior brother, since the Interception Sect has chosen the Great Shang, and the Great Shang's fortune is mysteriously declining, then it can be considered that Heaven is helping us!"

"We have an irreconcilable feud with the Interception Sect! Why don't we take this opportunity to settle the score?"

Zhunti was taken aback. "What do you mean, Senior Brother?"

Jieyin responded, "Didn't you just say that the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty, Chaoge, is being guided downwards by a strange aura?"

"That's a good thing!"

"If even you can't detect it, then the other Sage certainly can't either."

"We can also operate behind the scenes to create a plausible reason for the decline of the Great Shang Kingdom!"

"Perhaps, by some twist of fate, it could even accelerate the decline of the Great Shang's fortunes!"

Zhunti said with some worry, "But the Great Shang of the Human Clan is, after all, the righteous path of humanity, and the Human Emperor recognized by the Heavenly Dao... If we use underhanded means, wouldn't we suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao?"

"Furthermore, if we attack the Human Clan, shouldn't Taishang and Yuanshi interfere with us again?"

Jieyin shook his head and said, "Di Xin Human Emperor but lacks the Kongtong Seal, making him utterly vulnerable. There's no need to be wary of him; at most, we just shouldn't attack him."

"The Taishang is on the side of the Chan Sect. Our targeting of the Jie Sect and the Interception Sect Great Shang at most making us enemies of enemies. He will most likely turn a blind eye."

"They might even be hoping we'll go after the Interception Sect!"

"In this way, the enemy facing us has been simplified from Yuanshi and Tongtian to Tongtian!"

"It'll be easier for us too!"

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti's eyes flickered slightly, revealing both worry and anticipation.

"What you say makes sense, senior brother!"

"Is it only the Interception Sect we're dealing with? Even back then, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't give us the slightest bit of face."

"The killing and fighting have caused quite a bit of trouble."

"I feel a little reluctant to help him like this."

Jieyin chuckled and said, "Senior brother, have you forgotten our few chess pieces?"

"Yuanshi was wise all his life, but made a foolish mistake for a moment; it's unclear who interfered with his normal choices..."

"The Chan Sect Disciple who are dying or being injured today are all those whose plans we failed to carry out back then; they were truly loyal Chan Sect Disciple."

"In the end, they were either killed by the Interception Sect or died at the hands of Yuanshi himself."

"But the actual chess pieces were all preserved."

This is, without a doubt, a huge joke.

"We are only temporarily siding with the Chan Sect to jointly deal with the Interception Sect."

The goal of avoiding unnecessary competition is precisely to ensure the downfall of the Interception Sect during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity and to reclaim your magical treasures, isn't it?

"Once the Investiture of the Gods Calamity is over, we'll strike at the root of the problem and turn the Chan Sect against us."

"Plus, there's the foundation we accumulated during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity!"

"After the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, our Western Teachings will surely flourish!"

Jieyin he spoke, a mocking smile played on his lips.

These things were originally secrets buried deep in his heart.

They dared not utter this in the Purple Cloud Palace, or even in the Primordial World.

Now, being here, one is enveloped in an endless black mist.

It was extremely far from the Interception Sect and the Chan Sect, and was located on the border of the Western Paradise World.

It's alright to say it out loud.

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti was startled and immediately fell silent.

This time, instead of speaking, he directly transmitted his voice.

"Senior brother, now that you say that, I feel much better."

"But this is our biggest trump card in our struggle against the Chan Sect! Senior Brother, you mustn't let anyone else hear about it; walls have ears."

"The rise of the West depends on this!"

"Judging by the time, Randeng should have completed his enlightenment by now. However, since my junior brother didn't alert the enemy or use his magic to divine, I don't know his current state."

"Of course, there's absolutely no way something could go wrong while Randeng."

"They will inevitably join Western Teachings in the future."

"His spiritual roots and destiny belong entirely to the West; he simply joined the wrong sect."

Upon hearing Zhunti mention Randeng, Jieyin almost burst out laughing.

If Randeng were to join the Western Teachings, then the Western Teachings would not be far from flourishing.

"Alright."

"Junior brother, let's not discuss this matter any further. The truth will come out in due time."

Zhunti, and then asked again.

"Senior brother, since we're going to the Great Shang of the Human Clan, let's lower Great Shang fortune."

So, what exactly should we do?

"You mentioned before that you had a plan. What is it?"

Upon hearing Zhunti's question, Jieyin smiled, clasped his hands together, and a shadowy glint flashed in his eyes.

This contrasted sharply with the radiant aura emanating from him.

"The fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty is naturally closely related to the fortune of the Human Emperor..."

"If we want to accelerate the decline of the Great Shang's fortune, we must start with the Human Emperor!"

"We can't hurt him, but we can change his personality!"

"Even changing his personality through his divine sense, making him violent, bloodthirsty, selfish, lustful... lazy... these are all quite easy to do."

"Because Heavenly Dao is merciless; though it can protect him, it cannot interfere with his life."

"He's just a mortal; he's easy for us to take advantage of."

"Since neither the leader of the Chan Sect nor the Sage of the Interception Sect are allowed to leave their respective dojos, this is a golden opportunity."

"And to begin this plan, we naturally need my junior brother's help."

The Jieyin paused for a moment, then continued.

"Junior brother, you don't have the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, yet you can still perform the Daoist art of bewitching the six senses, right?"

Zhunti paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, but the power won't be strong; we can only proceed gradually."

Jieyin asked directly, "Then can you guide Di Xin's thoughts?"

"What caused the Human Emperor's personality to change drastically?"

"Just like how Randeng disciples like Ran Deng of the Chan Sect and Golden Hoop Immortal of the Interception Sect back then, we planted inner demons in their hearts and guided their subjective consciousness towards the Western Teachings?"

"However, under the premise of inclining towards Western Teachings, how can we arouse their emotions and desires and guide them in an extreme direction?"

Zhunti paused, finding Jieyin's thoughts rather peculiar. After a moment's thought, he shook his head and said, "... Senior brother, this is also very difficult to do."

"The disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects we've turned to the enemy may possess great fortune, but their fates are ultimately inferior to that of Di Xin."

"Even though Di Xin isn't a true Human Emperor yet, he at least holds the title of Human Emperor. If there's any aura detrimental to the Human Emperor, the Human Emperor's fortune should rebound directly."

Even if they don't discover us, it's as if we've done nothing wrong.

"Moreover, guiding consciousness towards Western Teachings is relatively easy, but trying to guide the seven emotions and six desires is truly difficult to do."

"There needs to be a medium to barely make it work, since my junior brother's Soul-Bewitching Technique can't penetrate Di Xin's defense of the Human Emperor's luck!"

"Using the Six Roots Pure Bamboo can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"But the Six Roots Pure Bamboo is no longer in my junior brother's hands!"

Hearing Zhunti's slightly troubled tone...

Jieyin's gaze sharpened slightly, piercing through billions of miles of void as he looked towards the main hall of Chaoge Royal City.

There seemed to be a towering figure there, looking down upon the world with an air of superiority.

He sat cross-legged on the supreme throne of the Human Clan.

Although he was just an ordinary person, his aura was astonishing.

Such a person must be eliminated, otherwise the Great Shang will not be able to survive!

Thinking this, Jieyin's eyes flickered, and an idea flashed through his mind. He gritted his teeth and made that decision immediately, whispering.

"Junior brother, you can rest assured about the mediator! I've already thought this through!"

"Later, I will use the means to achieve sainthood, in coordination with you, junior brother, to use the Six Roots Soul-Bewitching Sacred Technique."

"Junior brother only needs to slightly modify the method. When I use this method, you should immediately introduce emotional fluctuations to enhance Di Xin's seven emotions and six desires."

"With my help, the Human Emperor's destiny will not be altered, and your bewitching spell will naturally be effective!"

"After all, we managed to outmaneuver someone like Randeng, so capturing Di Xin should be a piece of cake!"

"In that case, Di Xin's drastic change in temperament will inevitably lead to widespread suffering and disunity among the Great Shang, causing the dynasty's fortunes to naturally decline!"

Upon Jieyin this, Zhunti immediately understood Jieyin's entire plan and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"My senior brother's methods for becoming a saint?!"

"Junior brother understands! You want to use dreams in conjunction with your Six Roots Soul-Bewitching Technique to guide them!"

Jieyin smiled slightly, nodded, and said.

"That is my inner demon. I would never use it unless it was a critical moment. Now I have no choice."

"The Human Emperor can block all auras that could harm him, but dreams cannot be altered."

"He is, after all, human. Humans have emotions and desires, and they have dreams."

"Desire can be planted in dreams, penetrating deep into the consciousness, undetected by any material thing."

"With my dream manipulation techniques, even without the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, you won't be in much trouble!"

Upon hearing this...

Zhunti's eyes lit up, he put his hands together and smiled.

"Your words, senior brother, have made me realize something!"

"When it comes to understanding dreams, Senior Brother is the strongest person in this Primordial World."

"If my senior brother had attained Great Dao in his dream back then, he would probably be as powerful as the Dao Ancestor."

"Unfortunately, when my senior brother incorporated the Primordial World into his dream, he encountered great obstacles in the southern part of the Primordial World, which damaged his foundation for becoming a saint. In the end, his strength was only at the First Level of the Hunyuan Realm."

Upon hearing Zhunti's words, Jieyin's expression turned slightly cold.

That Zhunti guy, he really knows how to rub salt in someone's wounds!

Jieyin didn't want to bring up past memories, so he waved his hand dismissively and said...

"This matter is over, so there's no need to mention it again."

"Right now, our most important task is to resolve the issue of the fortunes of the Great Shang Dynasty of the Human Clan,"

"At that time, I will control the dream, and you, junior brother, will bewitch Di Xin's seven emotions and six desires, and do your best to cause a drastic change in his temperament."

"I won't tell you to stop, but your desires will lead you on."

"During this period, I will carefully manage the backlash from the Human Emperor's fortune and the Law of the Heavenly Dao."

"With me here, nothing will happen!"

"Although it will consume some of our Sage energy, for the future of the Western Teachings, this move must be made well!"

I noticed that the Jieyin looked very determined.

Zhunti immediately clasped his hands together, his eyes flickering slightly, and praised him.

"Senior brother, you are truly benevolent! You have truly saved all sentient beings in the Western Paradise!"

"If the people of the Western Teachings knew of the sacrifices you, my fellow disciple, have made for them, they would surely be moved to tears..."

Upon hearing what Zhunti said...

Jieyin immediately nodded and clasped his hands together in prayer.

"In that case, let's set off immediately."

As Jieyin spoke, the power of the Sage's Laws emanated from his body, unleashing a terrifying force.

The Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit that had lifted them up also began to sway slightly at this moment.

Golden rays enveloped them.

With a flash, he dispersed the surrounding black mist and soared into the Yunxiao.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished from here!

Although the Two Sages of the West were only at the bottom of the Sage realm.

In the Primordial World, his strength surpassed that of Primordial World living beings.

The speed is naturally extremely fast.

Although there are hundreds of millions of miles between the western frontier and the great Primordial World Great Shang of the Human Clan.

Under the blessing of the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit.

In less than an hour, he quietly appeared above the land of the Great Shang Clan of the Human Clan.
