Randeng Appears! Wenshu and Puxian's Hesitation

"I never imagined that Senior Brother Taiyi would have such audacity, daring to scheme against even the Lingzhuzi the Sage Nüwa sent to the Investiture of the Gods."

In mid-air, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun spoke to True Person Puxian with a voice, expressing his feelings.

"Yes! Who could have imagined! Taiyi, who usually seems so unassuming and focused solely on cultivation, could be so ruthless..."

True Person Puxian also expressed his feelings through telepathy.

After all, as fellow Daluo Golden Immortal, they were well aware of just how alluring the Karmic Luck contained within Nezha truly was.

Everything else is fine.

However, Nezha as the first Innate Spirit Treasure Karmic Luck in the Primordial World was something they could not ignore.

In the Primordial World, anything that is associated with being the first, the first to create the world, is considered a great thing.

That Karmic Luck is absolutely incredible.

With such Karmic Luck, their cultivation will surely be smooth sailing, and becoming Quasi-Sage will probably not be difficult.

Honestly, even they were incredibly tempted.

But.

If you really asked them to do such a thing, they probably wouldn't dare.

After all, the Lingzhuzi was an Innate Spirit Treasure bestowed by the Sage Nüwa.

Moreover, it was the Nüwa Sage who personally wrote the Investiture of the Gods and sent them into the cycle of reincarnation.

Without this background, they would have made the same scheme as True Person Taiyi without hesitation.

What is the bond between master and disciple compared to one's own spiritual cultivation?

Moreover, without Nüwa's influence, True Person Taiyi might not have even taken Nezha as his disciple, but would have directly plotted against him.

But with the connection to the Sage Nüwa, no matter how tempting it might be, the Sage's background was enough to dispel all their greed.

It is precisely for this reason that Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian hold True Person Taiyi in such high esteem.

"Perhaps it is because he is so focused on cultivation that Senior Brother Taiyi dared to carry out such a scheme!" Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun sighed.

True Person Puxian nodded slightly, agreeing with Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun's statement.

Without a doubt, both Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian now wholeheartedly believe in the plan of True Person Taiyi as described by Jinling.

They did not choose to believe their senior brother, True Person Taiyi.

"My two junior brothers, do you really think that such a scheme involving Sage is something that Taiyi alone would dare to carry out?"

Suddenly, a telepathic message resonated between the two of them.

Although they had never seen the person, the voice was not unfamiliar; given their cultivation levels, they would not have forgotten it.

"Teacher Randeng!"

Manjushri Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian, bowed slightly and made a soft exclamation.

As their voices faded, ripples spread through the void, and a figure emerged from it.

That figure could only be the Daoist Randeng.

The Daoist Randeng also bowed slightly and returned the greeting to Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian.

"I wonder what Master Randeng meant by what he said earlier?" Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun asked softly.

The True Person Puxian, standing to the side, also looked at the Daoist Randeng, a subtle glint of light flashing in his eyes.

They hadn't thought about it that way before, but after Randeng pointed it out, a thought suddenly arose in their minds.

"Didn't my two junior brothers already guess?" Daoist Randeng chuckled and said softly, pointing upwards before continuing in a low voice.

"In the Primordial World, besides the Sage themselves, who else would dare to plot against a Sage..."

Upon hearing what the Daoist Randeng said, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian fell silent.

Just as they had thought, although the Karmic Luck of the Lingzhuzi was tempting, it involved the Sage Nüwa, and they probably wouldn't dare to scheme like the True Person Taiyi.

After all, if this matter is not handled properly, it could very well involve Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and trigger a great war between the Sage.

Even if it didn't trigger a major war, the relationship between Lady Nüwa and Celestial Venerable Yuanshi would inevitably be affected.

Therefore, even though they were both backed by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, they did not dare to scheme like True Person Taiyi.

Originally, after learning about True Person Taiyi's scheme, they thought that True Person Taiyi was focused on cultivation, had a firm Dao heart, and was not afraid of these things.

But...

Listen to what the Daoist Randeng said.

This scheme by True Person Taiyi is probably...

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian exchanged a glance, both noticing the look of enlightenment in each other's eyes.

Only...

"Why is Master Randeng telling us these things?" True Person Puxian asked Daoist Randeng softly, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Manjushri Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, standing to the side, also showed a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Having cultivated to their current level, neither Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun nor True Person Puxian are foolish people.

The fact that Daoist Randeng could say such things to the two of them means that Daoist Randeng was present at Mount Qianyuan just now.

However, they did not show up or take action, which alone was enough to make Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian slightly dissatisfied.

After all, if their Chan Sect had Quasi-Sage present, how could they have been so bullied by that Jinling?

And to say such things to them now, at the very least, is to damage the brotherhood between Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, True Person Puxian, and True Person Taiyi.

To put it more bluntly, this is even an attempt to sow discord between them and their master, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Seeing the wariness in the eyes of Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian, the Daoist Randeng did not react; in fact, he was quite pleased with himself.

He chose a smart person; if he had chosen a fool, his subsequent plans would have been much more difficult to execute.

Without concealing the smile on his face, the Daoist Randeng simply looked at Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian.

"My two junior brothers, are you going to let me speak here?"

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian frowned, looking at the Daoist Randeng before them, not understanding the meaning behind Randeng's words.

Then...

As the Daoist Randeng raised his hand, two beams of divine light emerged from his palms and slowly drifted toward Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian.

With a sense of vigilance, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian caught the two beams of divine light.

Although they were wary of Randeng, as fellow members of the Chan Sect, they didn't believe that Randeng would do anything to them.

The two scanned the divine light in their hands with their divine senses and discovered a spell within it. The spell looked very simple, but upon closer inspection, it revealed endless mysteries.

Even though both of them were Daluo Golden Immortal, they couldn't quite understand the profound mysteries within this seemingly simple Method Formula for a while.

Of course, not understanding it doesn't mean you can't use it.

On the contrary, this technique was just as simple as it looked. With just one glance, the two of them were certain that they could easily use it.

Such strange methods.

They did not believe that this Method Formula originated from the Daoist Randeng.

Although the gap between Quasi-Sage and Daluo Golden Immortal is enormous, it lies more in combat power than in the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

The difference between the two is not that great.

So...

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian's expressions changed slightly at the same time. They looked at Daoist Randeng and were about to say something.

But Daoist Randeng Deng spoke first.

"My two junior brothers only need to return to the temple and practice this incantation to know everything. As for asking me..."

Randeng spoke, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"In this Primordial World, I will not utter a single word."

After being interrupted by the Daoist Randeng, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian fell silent, staring expressionlessly at the Daoist Randeng before them.

However, the increased vigilance in their eyes clearly revealed their thoughts at that moment.

Seeing the Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian, the Daoist Randeng smiled nonchalantly.

"My two junior brothers, then this humble Daoist will take his leave!"

After bowing slightly, Daoist Randeng Deng took his leave.

Stay where you are.

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

Although the powerful Daoist priest did not explicitly state it, the two of them, with their wisdom, had already roughly guessed some of it.

"Brother Wenshu..."

Just as True Person Puxian was about to say something, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun stopped him and shook his head slightly at True Person Puxian.

Seeing his senior brother's actions, True Person Puxian fell silent.

Within the Chan Sect, there were two of them—no, it should be three—along with their junior brother Daoist Cihang, who was not present. The three of them huddled together for warmth.

Although it was never explicitly stated, many of Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun's decisions were, in many cases, decisions made jointly by the three of them.

Only...

Thinking of the look in Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun's eyes just now, True Person Puxian fell silent. After countless years of getting along, he was undoubtedly very familiar with Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun.

To onlookers, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun's attitude just now seemed insignificant.

However, in the eyes of True Person Puxian, it meant that Manjushri, the Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, was already moved, which made True Person Puxian feel very complicated.

There are two sides to this story.

While Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian were swirling with complex thoughts, the departing Daoist Randeng was also far from at peace.

Traveling through the void, the Daoist Randeng no longer wore the smile he had when facing Manjushri, the Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian.

Instead, there was an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Certainly.

The Daoist Randeng was not worried about Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian; in his view, it was a sure thing to bring them into his camp.

It shouldn't cause him such worry.

The root cause of the Daoist Randeng's current appearance lies in the Jie Sect, and in... the Holy Mother Jinling.

Jinling's performance in Mount Qianyuan earlier was more than just embarrassing for True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian.

Similarly.

This also greatly alarmed him Quasi-Sage was hiding to the side.

Although he didn't face her directly, just by watching from the sidelines, he could sense that he was probably far from being a match for Holy Mother Jinling, a junior Quasi-Sage.

Logically speaking, even if we overestimate the Holy Mother Jinling and regard her as a powerful being in the Late-Stage Quasi-Sage, since they are both Quasi-Sage, we should still be able to understand each other.

Daoist Randeng Deng shouldn't have felt so outmatched, but... that's exactly what happened to him.

As a cultivator, Daoist Randeng would not doubt his own spiritual senses, so... even though he found it hard to believe, Daoist Randeng understood in his heart.

That Holy Mother Jinling has probably already touched upon the realm of invincibility at the Quasi-Sage, or perhaps has even entered it.

This created a realm of Quasi-Sage, invincible like that of the Heavenly Emperor Haotian.

Otherwise...

The Holy Mother Jinling would never allow Randeng to feel that he was far inferior.

With the emergence of the invincible Holy Mother Jinling at the Quasi- Quasi-Sage on the Jie Sect's side, the upcoming Immortal Slaughter Tribulation will be a difficult one for the Chan Sect to overcome.

Of course, the Chan Sect was irrelevant to Randeng, as he had already prepared to join the Western sect.

This Immortal Slaughter Tribulation is crucial to Randeng's path to sainthood.

Although the reason for this path to sainthood is unknown, the existence of Jinling has greatly increased the strength of the Jie Sect, which is definitely not good news for Randeng.

Holy Mother Jinling herself is powerful, has a friend Guiling who is invincible in another Quasi-Sage Realm, and is backed by Cult Master Tongtian.

No matter how he planned or schemed, Daoist Randeng could not find a way to deal with the Holy Mother Jinling.

No, Daoist Randeng Deng has another, albeit imperfect, solution: to inform Celestial Venerable Yuanshi of the Holy Mother Jinling's strength.

They even informed the two Western Saints about it.

The existence of the Holy Mother Jinling is not only an obstacle for him, but also for Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, who is scheming against the Jie Sect, and even for the two Western Saints.

The Holy Mother Jinling, a powerful Quasi-Sage of the Jie Sect, is quite an eyesore!

Thinking of this, Daoist Randeng silently recited a prayer in his heart.

"Jinling, don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for blocking too many people's way."

Thinking this, a sinister and vicious look appeared on Daoist Randeng's face.

On the other side.

Jinling was clearly unaware of Daoist Randeng's scheme; she was even unaware that Daoist Randeng valued her so much!

Good.

It means to value it.

If Daoist Randeng didn't value Jinling, he wouldn't have come up with the idea of informing the Sage of Jinling's existence, allowing the Sage to plot against and target Jinling.

That was Sage.

The true pinnacle of the primordial Primordial World.

There is no doubt that the reason why Daoist Randeng would have such thoughts is that, at this moment, in Daoist Randeng's mind, although the Holy Mother Jinling had not reached the level of Sage.

But it is already the strongest below the level of Sage.

It is an existence that, apart from Sage, is invincible in the Primordial World.

At this moment.

In mid-air, Jinling turned to the side and looked at Shiji, whispering.

"Shiji, this time your senior sister arranged for you to use yourself as bait, and you almost died, but..."

"Not only did we fail to capture True Person Taiyi, the mastermind behind the scheme, but we didn't even capture the real Nezha. You won't blame your senior sister, will you?"
