Chapter 134 Zhunti: Is Heaven truly going to destroy me? (1)
"The Dao Ancestor once said that the Wu Clan rules the earth, while we rule the Thirty-Three Heavens, and set a truce deadline. If not for this—" Fuxi sighed upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, there's no need to worry. The fact that the Witches and Demons cannot wage war has nothing to do with our Heavenly Court or Mount Sumeru," Yuanshi shook his head and said. Zhunti and Jieyin hadn't even joined the Celestial Court, so what the Dao Ancestor had said before couldn't protect them at all.
Yuanshi realized that Zhunti and Jieyin were waiting for the snipe and the clam to fight so that the fisherman could profit from it.
How can this be allowed?
Following this logic, their establishment of the Heavenly Court was actually for the benefit of Zhunti and Jieyin.
"But Zhunti and Jieyin are, after all, the master's disciples, and they are protected by the Primordial Purple Qi. We must not kill them," Nuwa said silently.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, you are overthinking it. When did we ever say we wanted to kill Fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin?" Laozi said with a smile. "We only need to make Fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin make a solemn oath against their inner demons, so that they will devote themselves to cultivating the West from now on and never extend their reach into the prehistoric East again."
Laozi agreed with Yuanshi's idea. Zhunti and Jieyin really needed to be dealt with, otherwise they would definitely keep making trouble.
Moreover, as the rulers of the West, Zhunti and Jieyin bear the responsibility of revitalizing the West, yet they always run to the ancient East. What's the meaning of this?
It's time to "help" fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin to "strengthen" their Daoist resolve.
Furthermore, if this trend, starting with Styx and then moving on to Zhunti and Jieyin, is not stopped, then without a doubt, more and more people will be plotting against them behind their backs. There are too many people who do not want to see the Four Sages of Heaven ruling the world. If we don't find a suitable example to make an example of, more and more people will jump out.
Moreover—they can't cure the Styx River because of the Dao Ancestor's words. They can't do anything to the Eastern King Duke and the Witch Clan now, so how could they not cure you, Zhunti and Jieyin?
"Junior Sister Nuwa, shall I, Yuanshi, and fellow Daoists go to Mount Sumeru to seek retribution from fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin?" Laozi asked Nuwa.
The Zhou Tian Star Array still needs Tongtian and Taiyi to perfect it together. After all, Zhunti and Jieyin are future sages, and not just anyone can teach them a lesson. If you want to suppress them, you need to be a future sage at least.
Coincidentally, the Heavenly Court is never short of future sages, so this matter will fall to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.
Since Tongtian can't leave, then they'll have to go.
In fact, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa currently hold a significant advantage in cultivation over Zhunti and Jieyin. The Three Pure Ones are all Quasi-Saints with two corpses, as is Nuwa, while Zhunti and Jieyin are still far from achieving the state of severing their two corpses. Any one of them could easily subdue Zhunti.
Guidance is not a problem, especially with Laozi and Tongtian possessing the Taiji Diagram and the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
However, the future sages of the Heavenly Court are divided into two factions: the Three Pure Ones faction and the Nuwa faction of the demon race. If only one side takes action, there will inevitably be karmic consequences when the sages fight in the future. Therefore, Laozi devised the optimal solution almost instantly.
With him, Yuanshi, and Nuwa acting together, there would be no chance of failure. At the same time, it would also eliminate the possibility of Nuwa refusing to settle scores with Zhunti and Jieyin in the future.
As far as Nuwa is concerned, with the Three Pure Ones as the main force this time, and us bearing the brunt of the consequences, what reason is there not to participate?
For Zhunti and Jieyin, seeking revenge would be tantamount to simultaneously provoking both the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, leading to a situation where the Four Saints would break through Mount Sumeru. Laozi predicted that if Jieyin was smart enough, he would rather no one remember this matter at all, let alone seek revenge.
"Fellow Daoist Laozi has made very thorough arrangements. In that case, I will accompany my two senior brothers on this journey." Nuwa looked at Laozi and agreed with a smile.
"Alas—" Hongyun remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she sighed and mourned for the creatures of the West.
"Well, elder brother, fellow Daoists, there is something more important than Zhunti and Jieyin." At this moment, Yuanshi slowly said, "Fellow Daoists Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun have taken up their posts in the Heavenly Court, and we must not neglect them."
At the same time, Fellow Daoist Fuxi has also made great contributions to the Heavenly Court. His current position is truly beneath his Quasi-Saint cultivation level. I have pondered this for a long time, and I must speak out now.”
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun will surely hold high positions in the Heavenly Court, but it is inevitable that some elders of the demon race will be dissatisfied. Just as after Buddha promised Sun Wukong, "When you succeed in your mission and return to the Western Paradise, you will also sit on a lotus throne," some high-ranking members of the Buddhist sect used the Great Tribulation to teach Tang Sanzang and his disciples a lesson, making them realize the factions within the Buddhist sect.
Yuanshi had anticipated this possibility from the beginning, so he brought Fuxi along, and the demon race no longer objected to using him.
As for the sensible Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, Yuanshi's move was both to consolidate his own authority and to reciprocate their kindness.
"Yes, this is a good idea. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is very thoughtful." Nuwa agreed upon hearing this. This matter was beneficial to Fuxi, and Nuwa had no reason not to agree.
"Good." Lao Tzu also expressed his agreement with Yuan Shi's words.
"What Fellow Daoist Yuanshi said is very true, and we also agree with it." Dijun looked at Yuanshi with a somewhat complicated expression, but his face remained serious as he gave his answer.
Di Jun suddenly realized that wanting to completely seize power in the Heavenly Court and achieve a situation where the sages ruled by doing nothing while he actually held the highest power in the Heavenly Court was probably not as simple as he had imagined.
Yuan Shi seems to be too adept at political maneuvering.
But at this moment, he had no power to stop Yuanshi's actions, also because of Fuxi.
"I believe that we should honor Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, and Fellow Daoist Hongyun as Great Emperors, to assist the Heavenly Emperors in managing the Primordial World. What do you think?" Yuanshi said with a smile upon hearing this.
"There is nothing wrong with that."
"good."
After dealing with matters concerning Fuxi, Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Nuwa, along with their mounts and attendants, set off. Since it concerned sages, none of them brought any other attendants.
Before setting off, Lao Tzu deliberately used the Tai Chi diagram to conceal the secrets of heaven, so as to ensure that Zhunti and Jieyin would not suddenly have a "whim" and sense that a calamity was approaching, and thus avoid this calamity.
Meanwhile, on Mount Sumeru, when Zhunti and Jieyin sensed unease, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Nuwa had already arrived outside Mount Sumeru. The combined aura of the three quasi-saints with two corpses pressed down on the entire Mount Sumeru.
All the creatures within Mount Sumeru were overwhelmed by this aura and forced to the ground. Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, their expressions changing drastically.
"Not good!" Alarm bells rang in Zhunti's heart. Having done something wrong, how could he not know why Laozi, Yuanshi, and Nuwa had come to his door? However, what he couldn't understand was how the Heavenly Court had discovered that all his actions had been concealed from the heavenly secrets.
