Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Chapter 203 Lu Yun Has Such Methods? Hongjun Deceives the Two Western Saints!

Everyone was quite taken aback by the old man's answer.

They had assumed the old man guarding the pass was a reclusive powerhouse among the human race, but they never expected him to be otherwise.

But if that's not the case, why is the other side guarding the pass for the human race here?

"I am merely a puppet created by my master." The old man's voice was calm and even, yet it seemed to drop a bombshell in everyone's hearts.

The people around him stared in disbelief, their eyes glazed over as they looked at the old man.

They simply couldn't accept that a puppet could be so lifelike, and even more so that the puppet's strength had reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

This completely overturned their understanding!

As a master craftsman, Duobao Daoren was deeply shocked at this moment.

Because he understands better how difficult it is to achieve that level of achievement!

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is your master?"

The old gatekeeper replied, "My master's name is Lu Qi."

"A Lu Qi?" Daoist Duobao was greatly shocked.

In the primordial world, who doesn't know that people like Lu Wen and Lu Wu are all incarnations of Lu Yun?

This Lu Qi is clearly an incarnation of Lu Yun.

Judging from his name, Lu Qi should be Lu Yun's embodiment in the art of weaponry.

Daoist Duobao always believed that although Lu Yun had extraordinary talent in cultivation, he himself had profound attainments in the art of weapon crafting, and even surpassed Lu Yun in some aspects.

But now, the fact that one of Lu Yun's avatars could actually create a puppet of this level shocked him, and he fell silent.

Guang Chengzi couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that all the guardians of these secret realms are puppets like you?"

The old man guarding the pass said, "That's right."

This caused an even greater uproar among the crowd.

Who would have thought that Lu Yun would have such means to create so many puppets at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level?

As for Duobao, he was a man of strong will, and he quickly cheered up.

He took a deep breath, took out a high-grade innate spiritual fruit from his storage space, handed it to the old man guarding the pass, and said, "This is the fee for the trial."

After saying that, he resolutely stepped into the trial realm.

As everyone watched Duobao Daoist's retreating figure, the shock in their hearts remained unabated.

They gained a deeper understanding of Lu Yun's strength and were even more eager to participate in the trial themselves to see if they could also gain something like Daoist Duobao.

With the arrival of Daoist Duobao, the trial realm became lively once again.

Other disciples from the Chan and Jie sects followed suit, handing over spiritual fruits or other equivalent items before entering the secret realm for trials.

They all wanted to personally experience this trial realm evolved by Lu Yun and see if they could find a breakthrough opportunity within it.

At the same time, news spread rapidly throughout the prehistoric world that the guardians on the path to enlightenment for the human race were all Great Luo Golden Immortals, and that they were all puppets created by Lu Yun.

In an instant, the wilderness was in an uproar.

Many people who had initially hoped to oppose Lu Yun suddenly felt disheartened!

After all, if Lu Yun's avatar can create the guardians of these checkpoints, then can he also create more Great Luo Golden Immortal puppets?

In this situation, he alone can make up for the lack of top-tier combat power in the human race!

Lu Yun himself can be as good as thirteen quasi-saints, and can even use the "Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons" to manifest the true form of Pangu to fight against saints!

His avatars can create puppets at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the exact number is unknown!

Meanwhile, powerful beings at the Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal levels are being born continuously among the human race.

From this perspective, the human race's current strength even surpasses that of the ancient races, and is even approaching that of the most powerful Lich and Demon races.

How could they possibly fight against Lu Yun?

Some ancient races even suddenly began to feel fortunate: thank goodness they didn't start a major war with the human race!

Meanwhile, some races that had previously slaughtered humans were terrified, fearing that humans might suddenly remember their past grievances and come looking for revenge.

Therefore, they had to flee quickly, wanting to avoid the human race and hide as far away as possible.

As a result of this news, the human races in various parts of the prehistoric world effortlessly gained even more suitable lands and environments for their survival and development, and their development speed accelerated even further in a short time.

The direct result of this change was that the human race's fortune increased once again!

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, the Sage Hongjun sat in meditation with his eyes closed, his body exuding a profound Daoist aura.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly, sensing the changes on the primordial land. The surge in the human race's fortune was like a raging fire, soaring straight into the sky; such an extraordinary phenomenon naturally could not escape the perception of the sage Hongjun.

He quickly calculated in his mind and understood the cause and effect.

"It's Lu Yun again!"

A hint of annoyance flashed in Hongjun's eyes.

Lu Yun was nowhere to be seen, but the arrangements he left behind disrupted some of his plans.

The Lich Wars had not yet ended when the human race rose to power ahead of schedule, which greatly impacted his plans.

What worries him even more is whether this will trigger a full-scale revival of prehistoric humanity.

It's important to understand that humanity isn't just about the human race, but about all living beings!

The stronger all living beings are, the stronger humanity becomes!

If we wait until the war between the Lich King and the Demon King ends, the strength of the primordial beings will be greatly weakened, and even if humanity recovers, it will not be able to threaten the Heavenly Way.

The Lich King has not yet left the stage of the primordial world. If humanity is restored, the Heavenly Dao will be unable to suppress him!

This was a situation that Hongjun did not want to see. He decided to take some action to weaken the momentum of the human race.

He naturally wouldn't do it himself, and Haotian and Yaochi's strength was also insufficient, so he naturally thought of several disciples of the Heavenly Dao Saints.

However, this task clearly cannot be undertaken by the Three Pure Ones or Nuwa.

Hongjun's gaze suddenly turned to the west, where the two Western Saints resided.

With a sudden thought, he sent a telepathic message to the two Western Saints, summoning them to the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Jieyin and Zhunti, come to Zixiao Palace immediately!"

Within Mount Sumeru, Cundi and Jieyin were diligently instructing their disciples. Suddenly, they both received a summons from Hongjun, and were filled with surprise.

Because they were merely nominal disciples of Hongjun, he had never paid them much attention in the past. Now, Hongjun was actually taking the initiative to seek them out, which was unprecedented.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes. They knew this summons was definitely no small matter.

But on second thought, this might also be an opportunity for them!

So they immediately put down what they were doing, transformed into two streaks of light, and flew rapidly toward the chaos.

Soon after, Zhunti and Jieyin arrived outside Zixiao Palace. They tidied their appearance and then respectfully went inside.

"Greetings, teacher!"

Hongjun had been waiting for a long time.

"No need for such formalities."

When he saw the two Western Saints arrive, he waved his hand and gestured for them to sit down.

Zhunti asked cautiously, "Master, what are your instructions for summoning us here?"

Jieyin also watched Hongjun with tension.

Hongjun did not directly state his intentions, but instead sighed and began to recount past events.

"In the past, the Demonic Founder Rahu ravaged the prehistoric world, intending to overthrow the order of Heaven. In the end, during my duel with him, he chose to self-destruct. The power of that explosion almost destroyed the entire Western continent, leaving the West barren."

Hongjun's voice was deep and full of vicissitudes, as if he had returned to that era of war and chaos.

As the two Western Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti were naturally very familiar with this history. But even so, hearing Hongjun recount it in person, they still felt a chill run down their spines.

Hongjun continued, "Therefore, I owe the West a tremendous debt of karma. Over the years, I have been seeking an opportunity to make up for the losses this disaster has caused to the West, hoping to revitalize Western religion and restore the West's former glory."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but become excited. They looked at Hongjun with anticipation, waiting for his next words.

However, what Hongjun said next shocked them.

"Originally, I had planned everything, intending to use the fortune of the human race to nourish the West and allow the Western religion to flourish. But now, a change has occurred, making it possible that my plan may not be able to be realized."

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged bewildered glances, unable to believe their ears. Had their seemingly within-a-lifetime opportunity for redemption simply vanished? They felt resentment, anxiety, and even a hint of anger.

"Teacher, what... what exactly is going on?" Jieyin couldn't help but ask.

Hongjun slowly explained, "The power of destiny is mysterious and profound. It cannot be increased out of thin air, nor can it be decreased without cause. It can only be transferred from one side to another. I observed that the Wu and Yao races were constantly fighting, so I thought of gradually weakening their destiny and then transferring it to your West, so that the West would naturally prosper. However, now there is a Lu Yun who has made the human race rise ahead of schedule, and instead has taken away the destiny that originally belonged to the Wu and Yao races."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti were filled with resentment towards Lu Yun. They had originally thought they had seen hope for the great revival of the Western Sect, but they never expected that Lu Yun's sudden appearance would disrupt their plans.

The two looked at each other, their faces showing resentment and anger.

"Teacher, is there really no way to remedy this?" Jieyin asked unwillingly.

Sage Hongjun remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Unless you can find a way to cause the fortunes of the human race to decline, and also cause the fortunes of the witch and demon races to decline, only in this way can the fortunes be redirected to the West."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Jieyin and Zhunti fell into deep thought.

They knew that it was not easy to cause the human race's fortune to decline, let alone to decline the fortunes of both the Lich and Demon races simultaneously. The difficulty involved was unimaginable.

However, the two were not willing to give up.

They decided to return and discuss countermeasures, determined to find a way to diminish the fortunes of both the human and lich races. Only in this way could they reclaim the fortunes that rightfully belonged to the West.

Sage Hongjun watched the two figures depart with an indifferent expression.

He felt that with his hints, Jieyin and Zhunti would surely take action.

He did not deceive Jieyin and Zhunti. If they could truly complete their mission, his plan to make amends to the West would naturally continue.

……

Sure enough, the two Western Saints remained troubled by the matter after returning home, repeatedly pondering countermeasures.

They understood that to achieve their goal, they had to meticulously plan an operation targeting both the human and witch races, while also avoiding offending the human sages—Nuwa and Laozi.

Therefore, they naturally had to gain a deep understanding of both the human and lich races.

Zhunti instructed Jieyin to remain at Mount Sumeru, while he himself decided to venture into the primordial world to seek an opportunity that could influence the fortunes of both the human and demon races. He was well aware of the immense responsibility this mission carried, and therefore exercised utmost caution.

After arriving in the East, Zhunti began to observe the changes in the human race in depth. He was surprised to find that the human race was indeed experiencing a great surge in fortune, a prosperity that should have originally belonged to their Western religion. However, now, all of this had been taken away by Lu Yun and the human race, which made him feel somewhat annoyed.

Zhunti traveled extensively throughout the primordial world, closely monitoring the movements of the human race.

One day, he happened to witness a battle.

A weak demon actually used a strange magical artifact to successfully kill a witch who was far stronger than him. This scene aroused Zhunti's suspicion, so he immediately captured the demon and planned to study the magical artifact carefully.

After some investigation, Zhunti was surprised to find that the magical artifact was actually possessed by the vengeful spirit of a human.

He tried using this magical artifact and found that it wasn't very effective against other living beings, but it caused exceptionally great harm to the Wu tribe. This discovery gave Zhunti a thought; he realized that this might be an opportunity to influence the fate of the Wu tribe.

Therefore, Zhunti began to study in depth the manufacturing method and principles of this magical artifact.

"Unexpectedly, the human soul possesses a natural advantage over the witch race!"

This discovery sparked Zhunti's interest.

He thought about the current predicament of the demon race, and even more so, he thought that if the demon race knew about this situation, they would certainly not remain indifferent!

He knew that Lu Yun had previously had grudges with Di Jun, Tai Yi and other demons, and Nuwa had even broken ties with the demons because of this, and had not shown her face for a long time.

A plan quietly formed in his mind: if the demon race knew about this, they would definitely try to hunt down humans and refine more magical artifacts to restrain the witch race!

In this way, the demon race weakened the human race, and at the same time obtained a magic weapon to restrain the witch race, which will also weaken the witch race!

If the Witch Clan and the Human Clan join forces to deal with the Demon Clan, wouldn't the plan to weaken all three clans at the same time be completed?

Thinking about this filled Zhunti with excitement!

He quickly considered how to inform the demon race of this news.

He quickly thought of a suitable candidate—Kunpeng!

You should know that when he listened to the teachings at Zixiao Palace, he had to forcibly take his seat from Kunpeng. This guy has always harbored resentment towards their Western Sect.

If he were to tell Kunpeng about this, and Kunpeng were to incite the demon race to slaughter the human race, it would surely enrage Nuwa, who would then be able to use Nuwa's help to get rid of Kunpeng!

It's so much!

After Zhunti had thought it through completely, he didn't delay any longer. He transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the outer starry sky!
