In the Western Paradise, beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Zhunti, holding his forehead, gazed at the red clouds in the pool with a sullen expression.
Hongyun lay in the pool, at its edge, while maids peeled various fruits and gently fed them into his mouth.
Seeing how well he was living, the two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, absolutely hated Hongyun!
However, they knew that Hongyun had been absorbing merit in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool for many years, and that the culprit behind this was Kuafu.
If it weren't for Kuafu's idea to Hongyun, Hongyun would never have made the Western Sect his home, and would have lived and eaten in the Sumeru Palace. Whenever a wisp of merit was generated in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, this guy would rush in like a dog smelling shit.
"The Three Pure Ones have completely broken ties, and Tongtian has even fled to Penglai Immortal Island."
Zhunti looked at Jieyin with a sinister smile.
"Senior brother, our chance has come."
Upon hearing this, Jieyin shuddered inexplicably, a flash of fear crossing his eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Junior brother, what makes you say that?"
He already has lingering effects from Zhunti. Every time this guy comes up with a plan, the result is either that he tries to steal a chicken but loses the rice instead, or that he lifts a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
It's absolutely ridiculous that he hasn't accomplished a single thing. It's really strange how Jieyin always plans things out perfectly, but he just can't seem to succeed.
Zhunti, with an air of complete confidence, stood with his hands behind his back, his chubby face squeezing his eyes into slits, his gaze gleaming with sinister cunning.
“Now that the gap between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect is too large, my senior brother and I can do something. Listen to me, there is great potential here.”
"The disciples of the Chan and Jie sects have a karmic connection with our West. Once we convert those outstanding disciples with this karmic connection, we will not only weaken the overall strength of the Chan and Jie sects, but we can also continue to fan the flames and make them fight to the death!"
"After the two sects have fought each other and are severely weakened, then you and I can join forces to convert the core disciples of both sects. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Zhunti said, squinting his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Jieyin hesitated, wondering whether he should reconsider Zhunti.
This junior brother, although full of bad intentions and never succeeding, is at least the person he trusts the most and a key figure in the Western Religion. So, he still has to take his influence into consideration.
"Alright, I'll gamble with you one more time!"
Jieyin gritted his teeth and made a decision.
The West is too poor. Not only are resources scarce, but the number of disciples is also pitifully small. It is, after all, a Western religion. If no one joins, how can it flourish?
Therefore, if Zhun's idea succeeds, it will perfectly solve this problem.
then.
The two saints of the Western religion quietly left the western land, each with an expectant smile on their face, and flew towards the eastern land.
...
The Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan.
Hongjun appeared in the main hall, and Dijun and Taiyi, along with countless high-ranking members of the demon race, bowed to him.
"The Witch Clan is a great threat to the Demon Clan."
Hongjun said.
"Di Jun and Tai Yi, how are your preparations for attacking the Wu Clan going?"
Now, Hongjun is getting a little anxious.
The Wu Clan was stationed on Penglai Immortal Island, where four sages resided: Yuanfeng, Houtu, Baiyu, and Ziling.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's as solid as a rock.
Di Jun then cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Dao Ancestor, the demon race is still frantically increasing its strength. As soon as I have the confidence, I will immediately lead hundreds of millions of demon warriors to annihilate the witch race!"
"That's right, what you said is exactly what I wanted to say, Dao Ancestor, just you wait and see!"
Donghuang Taiyi laughed.
Upon hearing this...
Hongjun nodded slightly. Seeing that these two guys still had fighting spirit, he was somewhat gratified. But thinking about Tongtian, that good-for-nothing, who actually joined Kuafu's camp, he was truly ashamed!
Will joining this group grant you the status of a saint?
That's just plain crazy.
Hongjun took a deep breath. In the current situation, the Heavenly Dao had already issued an order to him to end the Lich Tribulation as soon as possible and then begin the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
If he doesn't handle these things well, he might even be kicked out by the Heavenly Dao, and this consequence would be enough to prevent Hongjun from ever breaking through to the Great Dao realm in his entire life.
"We still need to improve the strength of Taiqing and the others."
Hongjun felt conflicted.
The primordial immortal energy within the Primordial Divine Gourd was completely absorbed by Kuafu. He had originally intended to rely on this immortal energy to enhance his strength and have his disciples destroy Penglai Immortal Island.
But now, this beautiful illusion has been shattered!
The only way is to find another way to improve the strength of the disciples. Without strength, they are no match for Kuafu in the current situation.
Just then, as Hongjun was about to leave the demon race, Dijun suddenly said, "Dao Ancestor, there is one more thing, please grant me permission."
Hongjun turned around, gesturing for him to continue.
Di Jun said solemnly, cupping his hands in greeting, "The demon race is in dire need of a large amount of cultivation resources. Once the resources are sufficient, the strength of my demon warriors will increase several times over!"
"And in that case, it will be much easier to destroy the witch clan."
"I hope the Dao Ancestor can give me all his help. In the future, Di Jun will repay him a hundredfold!"
