Chapter 267 Hongjun's Order! The Helpless Heavenly Saints! The Excited Tongtian!

When Yuanshi heard in Zixiao Palace that the Qilin clan had chosen to switch allegiance to Fuxi, he felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Back then, after the initial calamity of the Dragon-Han era, before the fall of the First Qilin, in order to seek the protection of the Chan Sect, he did not hesitate to transform himself into Qilin Cliff to guard Kunlun Mountain.

The Qilin Cliff later provided an excellent place for the disciples of the Chan Sect to cultivate, and Yuanshi naturally kept his promise and protected the Qilin clan.

In Yuanshi's view, the Qilin clan should remember this kindness and serve the Chan Sect for generations to come.

However, the Qilin clan has now silently abandoned the Chan Sect and instead supported the reincarnation of Fuxi, which is undoubtedly a great humiliation to Yuanshi.

As the leader of the Chan Sect, he prided himself on being a model of the Heavenly Dao Saint and held a revered position in the prehistoric world. When had he ever been treated with such contempt?

Yuan Shi's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

The other sages who were discussing things with him noticed his unusual behavior and couldn't help but become curious.

Lao Tzu then asked, "Second brother, what happened?"

Yuanshi briefly explained the situation, and everyone immediately frowned.

They all knew that the Qilin clan's actions were not only a provocation against Yuanshi personally, but also a support for the forces of humanity, which was undoubtedly a major blow to the Heavenly Dao camp.

"The Qilin clan actually dared to betray the Heavenly Dao camp and switch to the Human Dao camp! They are simply courting death!" Yuanshi snorted coldly, his voice filled with anger and disdain.

He was determined to teach the Qilin clan a profound lesson, to make them understand the price of betraying the Chan Sect.

But he also knew that he was powerless to fight against humanity alone. So he deliberately brought up the Heavenly Dao camp, trying to get everyone in the Heavenly Dao camp to join him in dealing with Fuxi!

The other saints in the Heavenly Dao camp saw through his thoughts at a glance.

They were not so easily dragged into Yuanshi's scheme, so they all pretended to be stupid and ignored Yuanshi's implied meaning.

After all, whether the Qilin clan switched allegiance to Fuxi or to the human camp, it didn't really have a big impact on them; it simply weakened the fortune of the Chan Sect.

But at that moment, Hongjun above suddenly spoke: "Since that's the case, then why don't you begin your conferment of titles upon the gods in this manner?"

"Um?"

The saints of the Heavenly Dao camp looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhunti asked cautiously, "What do you mean by that, Master?"

Hongjun slowly said, "I think you should have figured it out by now. Lu Yun is planning to push Fuxi to become the new Holy Emperor of the Human Race. Once he succeeds, the human race will have another Human Emperor, and the fortune of the human race will increase significantly."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown and nod in agreement.

Hongjun continued, "This is something no one wants to see. Now that the Qilin clan has betrayed us, why don't you each send your disciples to put some pressure on the Qilin clan, making them understand the consequences of betraying the Heavenly Dao camp, and also hindering Fuxi's path to enlightenment?"

Upon hearing this, the sages of the Heavenly Dao camp were all taken aback, not expecting that Hongjun would bring up this matter on his own initiative.

Yuanshi was overjoyed and quickly echoed, "The Dao Ancestor is wise! The Qilin clan's betrayal of the Heavenly Dao is a heinous act. We will certainly teach the Qilin clan a profound lesson!"

Although the other sages were unwilling, they dared not disobey the orders of Hongjun Daozu and could only nod in agreement.

Tongtian asked directly, "What does Master want us to do?"

Hongjun said, "Let your disciples also participate in the so-called Primordial Genius Competition! At that time, the winners will naturally not have to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods, while the losers will be listed and appointed as gods! In addition, those who contribute to punishing the Qilin clan can also be exempted from being listed on the Investiture of the Gods."

The sages were clearly surprised that Hongjun would make such a suggestion, and they all fell into deep thought.

A glint of light flashed in Yuanshi's eyes. He understood that Hongjun wanted to use the competition to infiltrate the power of the Heavenly Dao into the Human Dao and the Earthly Dao, thereby weakening their power.

Of course, this move did have some effect in punishing the Qilin clan.

After all, during the early calamity of the Dragon-Han era, the Qilin clan, like the Dragon clan, was rejected by the Heavenly Dao for committing immense acts of slaughter. Now, the Dragon clan has escaped the Heavenly Dao's rejection by being appointed as the Rain Gods by the Human race. If the Qilin clan were added to the list, what face would the Heavenly Dao have left?

The Heavenly Dao may not care about face, but those in the Heavenly Dao camp have no choice but to care!

Therefore, it is reasonable for Dao Ancestor to also take action against the Qilin clan and suppress Fuxi, who is about to be promoted by Lu Yun!

Laozi and his companions also pondered this in their hearts, feeling that it was indeed a good plan.

If the disciples of the Heavenly Dao faction can achieve excellent results in the competition, it will not only enhance the prestige of the Heavenly Dao faction, but also attract more human and witch geniuses to join the Heavenly Dao faction.

Yuanshi immediately declared, "The Dao Ancestor is wise! This humble Daoist will certainly obey the Dao Ancestor's command and ensure that his disciples fully participate in the Primordial Genius Competition!"

Seeing this, the other sages also expressed their agreement. They knew that this was the will of Hongjun Daozu, and they could not disobey it. Moreover, to some extent, participating in the competition was indeed a good opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the Heavenly Dao camp.

Among the crowd, only Kunpeng and Styx frowned, somewhat resistant to the plan.

To be honest, if they could, they really didn't want to be enemies with Lu Yun! Just look at what happened to Di Jun and Tai Yi, and you'll know what the outcome of being enemies with Lu Yun would be!

But now that they are in the Heavenly Dao camp, everything is beyond their control.

Kunpeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "But, Dao Ancestor, although the Genius Competition doesn't restrict our Heavenly Dao camp from participating, it does restrict participants to no more than a thousand years old!"

Styx immediately echoed, "Most of our Northern Underworld Sect disciples are rather dull-witted. Those with even a little strength are generally over a thousand years old. If we can only send disciples under a thousand years old to participate, I'm afraid we won't achieve the desired effect at all."

The other sages couldn't help but frown.

Although Kunpeng and Styx were making excuses, what they said was indeed true. Aren't most of the other disciples of the sages also over a thousand years old?

There may be a few who are young but quite strong, but they are a minority.

Faced with this question, Hongjun remained calm and said, "It's alright, they can reincarnate in the mortal realm and participate in the Genius Competition in their new bodies!"

this.

The sages of the Heavenly Dao looked at each other in bewilderment once again.

They also realized that Hongjun was determined to have all his disciples participate in the Investiture of the Gods, so he had even figured out how to solve this problem.

They can let their disciples reincarnate.

Even Yuan Shi, who most wanted to seek revenge against the Qilin clan, hesitated at this moment.

Everyone turned to look at Yuanshi.

The meaning behind that look was clear: let Yuanshi handle this matter! After all, if Yuanshi hadn't proposed to retaliate against the Qilin clan and save face for the Heavenly Dao camp, the current situation might not have occurred.

Yuanshi's expression changed slightly, realizing that he had incurred the wrath of the masses and that if he didn't handle the situation properly, it could lead to serious trouble.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he cautiously said to Hongjun, "Dao Ancestor, isn't it a bit too risky to have our disciples reincarnate? After all, entering reincarnation requires sacrificing one's cultivation; if something goes wrong, the price could be quite high!"

Hongjun waved his hand and said, "It's alright. We can let them deposit their cultivation on the Investiture of the Gods first. When they return from their tribulations, everything will naturally return to normal. Moreover, experiencing this reincarnation might even be helpful for their cultivation."

After a slight pause, he added, "Their primordial spirits are entrusted to the Investiture of the Gods. Even if they drink the Meng Po soup and their memories are temporarily lost, they will naturally regain their memories once they begin cultivation. You need not worry about this."

Upon hearing these words, the sages felt even more deeply the unwavering resolve of Hongjun.

They also realized that if they continued to refuse, they would likely face dire consequences.

"We obey!"

The sages respectfully accepted the order, and Hongjun was very pleased with this. He then told them to return and make their own arrangements. As Hongjun finished speaking, the sages rose to take their leave and departed from Zixiao Palace.

Upon arriving outside the Zixiao Palace, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

The two Western Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Styx and Kunpeng, all cast disapproving glances at Yuanshi.

Although they all knew that Dao Zu must have already planned ahead, they still couldn't help but blame all the trouble on Yuan Shi. After all, if he hadn't brought up the idea of ​​retaliating against the Qilin clan, Dao Zu might not have made them do such a thing.

A cold smile appeared on Zhunti's chubby face as he said, "Senior Brother Yuanshi, if any of our disciples are harmed due to reincarnation, your Chan Sect will have to take responsibility."

Kunpeng sneered, "That's right, we're not like your Chan Sect, with so many disciples that losing a few wouldn't matter."

Yuanshi's face was grim. Although he was furious, he was helpless at this moment. He could only suppress his anger and reply, "Rest assured, everyone. If this is true, I will take responsibility."

However, his words did not satisfy the two Western Saints and the Styx Kunpeng. They remained cold and turned to leave.

Yuanshi watched their retreating figures, his heart burning with rage. He turned to look at Tongtian, only to find that Tongtian seemed unconcerned about the matter, even wearing a slight smile.

Yuanshi became even more enraged and questioned Tongtian, "Tongtian, I have been ostracized by them, yet you treat me like this. Do you still consider me your elder brother?"

Tongtian paused slightly upon hearing this, then calmly replied, "Second brother, what makes you say that? I simply feel this matter is insignificant. In any case, my disciples from the Jie Sect are incredibly powerful, and I believe they will definitely stand out in the Primordial Genius Competition. Second brother, do you not trust your disciples?"

Yuanshi was speechless after being choked by Tongtian's words.

He gave a light snort and said, "Of course I trust my disciple!"

"Isn't that all?"

Tongtian waved his hand and said, "If Second Brother has nothing else, I will take my leave. This matter is of great importance, and we must hurry back to make arrangements!"

After saying that, Tongtian cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave.

Seeing his appearance, Yuanshi was once again enraged. He looked at Laozi and said, "Elder brother, look at Tongtian's attitude. Does he still respect his second brother?"

Laozi, seeing Yuanshi's furious expression, sighed slightly and shook his head, saying, "Second brother, why are you so angry? Although Tongtian speaks recklessly, what he said is not entirely without reason. Right now, we should indeed go back and prepare for the upcoming Primordial Genius Tournament."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi was still dissatisfied, but he knew that Laozi was right.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Brother is absolutely right. I was too impulsive. I will go back and make preparations now."

After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun turned and left.

Although he harbored some resentment towards Tongtian, he knew this was not the time to dwell on such matters. He had to return and prepare thoroughly to ensure that the disciples of the Chan Sect achieved excellent results in the Primordial Genius Competition, thereby restoring face to the Heavenly Dao camp and also giving the Qilin clan a profound lesson.

Laozi watched Yuanshi's departing figure, sighed softly, and turned back to the Taiqing Sacred Realm.

After all, according to the Dao Ancestor's previous instructions, the Human Sect would most likely not be able to shirk its responsibility this time. Even if there was only one disciple, Xuandu, they would have to send him to be reincarnated!

Furthermore, the foundation of other religions may even lie above that of the human race.

If he does not repay the karmic debt he owes to humanity soon, his position as a saint will be affected should the religion be abolished in the future.

Therefore, he felt that his benevolent self might also have to undergo reincarnation.

On the other side, Tongtian returned to Shangqing Sacred Realm, his smile growing ever brighter.

In Tongtian's view, this was a great opportunity for his disciples to show off!

His second elder brother, Yuanshi, always complained that his disciples were of mixed quality, wearing fur and armor, and so on. In the past, although he disliked it, there was nothing he could do. But this time, if his disciples could stand out from the Primordial Genius Competition after their reincarnation, let's see what Yuanshi can say then!

Thinking of this, Tongtian rubbed his hands together eagerly and even sped up his pace, quickly entering the Shangqing Sacred Realm.

He arrived at the main hall of Biyou Palace and directly transmitted his voice to all disciples: "Summon all second- and third-generation disciples, I have something to announce!"

Many disciples of the Jie Sect, including Duobao, Zhao Gongming, Jinling Shengmu, and the Three Immortals, were puzzled after receiving the message, but they all rushed towards Biyou Palace immediately, while also informing their other disciples and followers.

Before long, Biyou Palace was bustling with people, with more than ten thousand disciples gathered there!

Tongtian glanced at his disciples and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he began to recount the events of the day in detail.
