Before the Lich Kings were destroyed, Penglai Island's strength might not have been significant, but now that the Lich Kings have withdrawn from their dominant position and humanity is thriving, even several saintly sects combined wouldn't be a match for Penglai Island. If the saints knew of this strength, they would have wiped it out long ago. Xuan Tian fears this scenario; he's not afraid of the lower-level forces, but he fears the intervention of several saints. After all, those below the saint level are all ants—that saying isn't without merit.
Xuan Tian wouldn't easily take these things out. Originally, Penglai Island was formed from fragments of chaos, which could conceal the secrets of heaven. Even saints couldn't be considered saints. Xuan Tian had never activated the formation to let anyone out. Other saints had no idea that Penglai Island was of such a scale. At this moment, Penglai Island was truly as the legends of later generations described, a paradise on earth, a place for immortals, just like the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, untouched by cause and effect, and uninvolved in the mortal world.
After Xuan Tian finished his calculations, he summoned Hui Xin and the other two, saying, "You all must have gained something from your trip to Kunlun to discuss the Dao. Come, tell me what your thoughts were on this discussion." The three exchanged glances, and Hui Xin said, "We three disciples gained a lot from this discussion, and our cultivation has been consolidated. However, although this discussion seemed to be about Dao techniques, it was actually just a debate among other sages vying for the Dao lineage. Since this matter involves sages, I dare not speak rashly." Xuan Tian was very pleased to hear this. It was good that Hui Xin had such insight. Although Hui Xin had slain the evil corpse and achieved the cultivation of a quasi-sage, her cultivation time was still relatively short, only a few thousand years. Apart from her own talent, she had relied on the convenience of her cultivation techniques and external opportunities.
Xuan Tian laughed and said, "It's alright, I've already stated this, so please speak." Seeing that Xuan Tian had given his permission, Hui Xin said, "I have two points to make regarding this discussion." After a pause, seeing Xuan Tian nod, she continued, "First, the prehistoric world is now dominated by the human race, and their rise is ordained by Heaven. Although you haven't established a sect, the human race all transmit the great laws of my Penglai Island. Other saints who wish to enter the human race need your approval. One of the purposes of this discussion is to signal that other saints want to get involved with the human race." Hui Xin continued, "Secondly, it's about the division of power among the saints. The Western Sect is rejected by the Three Pure Ones of the East and cannot spread its teachings in the East. My Penglai Island hasn't established a sect either, and the Human Sect only has one disciple. Therefore, the task of spreading the teachings falls to the Chan and Jie sects, which are naturally vying for power between them." After Hui Xin finished speaking, she stood aside, awaiting Xuan Tian's instructions.
Xuantian listened with a smile until the end. Seeing that Huixin had finished speaking, he turned to Liaozhen and asked, "Liaozhen, what's your opinion?" Liaozhen looked at Huixin and said to Xuantian, "Teacher, I agree with everything my sister said, except for one point: my sister seems to have forgotten about Nuwa. Oh? Tell me, what does this have to do with Nuwa?" Xuantian's expression became even more amiable, but Huixin was somewhat confused.
Liao Zhen glanced at Xuan Tian, and seeing that he seemed unpleasant, continued, "As a saint of the demon race, Nuwa has left the two demon emperors dead and the Heavenly Court destroyed. This vast race now relies on Nuwa for governance. Nuwa is also the Holy Mother of the human race. Laozi established the Human Religion and became a saint, taking Nuwa's position as its leader, but he incurred a karmic debt that cannot be easily remedied. The human and demon races are irreconcilable, putting Nuwa in an awkward and difficult position. This debate will later discuss the teachers of the Five Emperors, and how this relates to the transmission of the Dao by the human race, even directly impacting the future division of human power. Nuwa will undoubtedly intervene, but how she will act is beyond my comprehension." Liao Zhen finished speaking, then looked at Xuan Tian's expression. Seeing that Xuan Tian remained expressionless, he withdrew.
Xuan Tian was very pleased after hearing what Zhen had said. He thought that Hui Xin and Zhen were both good, and that the two siblings had pretty much explained the purpose of this Dao Discussion Conference. Xuan Tian then looked at Cang Jie. Today, the two disciples had given him a surprise, and he hoped that the remaining Cang Jie would give him another one.
When Cangjie saw Xuantian looking at him, he knew what Xuantian meant and simply said, "This disciple has only been cultivating for a short time and knows little, so it is not appropriate for me to give an evaluation. I hope my teacher will forgive me." Although Cangjie did not say anything, Xuantian knew that Cangjie was only less than a hundred years old according to normal age. His cultivation time was not long, and he had spent most of his time creating characters, so it was normal that he had nothing to say.
