Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 108 [Playing Both Sides, Leveraging Opportunities] (Please Subscribe)

The spirit world.

Xuan Yin did not go to the East Sea Dragon Palace. He was under the watchful eyes of countless people, and it was really inappropriate for him to leave Jin'ao Island at this time.

However, even without going to the East Sea Dragon Palace, he still has a way to contact the Ancestral Dragon.

"Guiding the soul into a dream!"

He and Zulong signed a divine contract of the Heavenly Dao, and there is a cause and effect between them. Based on this cause and effect, he can naturally pull Zulong into the dream.

A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a black robe, exuding an imposing and domineering aura, surveyed the surrounding dreamscape with great interest: "This supernatural power is quite interesting, and this dreamscape bears some resemblance to my sixth brother's Mirage Dragon and Mirage Illusion!"

"So it was you!"

After carefully examining him, Zulong's gaze finally fell on Xuan Yin.

"Greetings, Senior Ancestral Dragon!"

Xuan Yin quickly bowed: "I invited you into my dream this time because it's an important matter to discuss! Besides, this might also be a good opportunity to earn merit and eliminate the dragon race's karma! I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"you say!"

When the topic of merit and fortune came up, the Ancestral Dragon immediately became interested. What the Dragon Clan lacked most right now was undoubtedly a sum of merit sufficient to eliminate karma.

"The west!"

Xuan Yin looked at the Ancestral Dragon and said firmly, "Most of the Dragon Clan's karma comes from the West! Although the Western ley lines were detonated by the Demon Ancestor Rahu, the great war between the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan also damaged the Western ley lines!"

"This is the source of the dragon race's karma!"

"And the primordial earth veins, like the dragon race, share the same origin, both formed from Pangu's meridians. Didn't our Ancestral Dragon ever consider repairing the western earth veins?"

Upon hearing this, Zu Long fell silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Do you think those two in the West would give me this opportunity?"

"Most of the great aspirations of that Sage Zhunti are related to the revitalization of the West. If my Dragon Clan were to intervene, wouldn't that ruin his grand ambitions?"

Sending the Dragon Clan's Great Luo to the West to transform the Dao, replenish the earth's veins, and repay the karmic debts of the past is naturally a good thing that can wear away karma.

However, some things are complex and intertwined with cause and effect, and are far more complicated than they appear on the surface!

The West is a hot potato.

Many causes and effects converged, yet the two Western sages used them as the foundation for their own path.

"this……"

Xuan Yin immediately frowned.

This matter concerns the attainment of sainthood, which is a matter of utmost importance that could shake the heavens and earth. Neither he nor the Ancestral Dragon could bear the consequences of it.

Upon seeing this, Zu Long laughed: "My dragon clan dares not offend a sage now! But since you have the Tongtian Sage as your backing, young friend, why not give it a try! I can give you the dragon corpses! However, if you gain Heavenly Dao merit through these dragon corpses, you must prioritize exchanging them for the Water Element Dao Fruit!"

He didn't want to get directly involved in karma, but it was still possible to gain some merit by using Xuan Yin's hand and then exchange it for merit through the Water Element Dao Fruit.

"This is making me take the blame!"

Xuan Yin was startled, seeing through Zu Long's thoughts clearly. Zu Long could easily say that Xuan Yin had stolen those dragon corpses.

But how could his small frame withstand the wrath of a saint?

The Tongtian Sect Leader could protect him, but he couldn't keep an eye on him forever. Given the opportunity, Zhunti would definitely try to scheme against him.

Just like the Primordial Purple Qi before.

"No!"

Xuan Yin's mind raced with thoughts: "I can't take the blame for this. I need to find a way to shift the blame to someone else!"

"We need to find someone who can do this kind of thing and not get killed by Zhunti!"

"At worst, we'll just take 30% of his merit!"

As his thoughts raced, Xuan Yin remembered the current leader of the Jie Sect, the future Buddha of Buddhism, the Daoist Duobao, who was transformed from the Duobao Rat!

As the present Buddha of the Three Buddhas of Buddhism, after becoming the World Honored One Tathagata, Duobao Daoren undoubtedly holds a pivotal position in Buddhism.

While fulfilling Zhunti's grand vow was undoubtedly a great karmic act, the existence of Duobao Daoren held even greater significance for the flourishing of Buddhism.

Even if Duobao did such a thing, Zhunti Daoist could comfort himself by thinking that after the Investiture of the Gods, Duobao Daoist would become the Buddha, and then the cause and effect could be reversed, turning Duobao Daoist's act of repairing the earth's veins into the wise leadership of the Sage Zhunti.

Although the Tathagata of Many Treasures is a present Buddha, he still serves the saints of Buddhism!

Of course, when Xuan Yin entrusted this matter to Daoist Duobao, he must have signed a Heavenly Dao Divine Contract and extracted 70% of the merit from it.

"Who says middlemen are no good!"

Xuan Yin was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Being a middleman is great! I can make a profit from the price difference!"

Upon hearing Xuan Yin's plan, the First Emperor was astonished. He ordered the future Buddha of Buddhism to fulfill the great wish of the Sage Zhunti, but you, the middleman, would have to take 70% of the merit!

Is there any reason?

"No!"

The First Emperor immediately declared righteously, "If this merit is earned so easily, then I, the Emperor, should also receive a share of those seventy percent!"

Xuan Yin argued his case based on reason.

The final agreement was that Zulong would hand over the dragon corpses to Daoist Duobao, and Xuanyin would receive 70% of the merit. However, the merit used to exchange for the Water Element Dao Fruit would have to be increased by another 30% as a subsidy to Zulong.

"good!"

Xuan Yin nodded in satisfaction.

Although the merit and fortune of exchanging the Water Element Dao Fruit is 30% greater than before, this merit still comes from the dragon corpse provided by the Ancestral Dragon.

Daoist Duobao is a man of action!

Xuan Yin, as the middleman, only needed to use his words to sign a Heavenly Dao Divine Contract with Duobao Daoist and Zulong respectively, and he could reap a large amount of merit and fortune.

This is an absolute steal!

Upon seeing this, Emperor Zulong exclaimed in genuine admiration, "What a brilliant scheme to get something for nothing! Truly, the new generation surpasses the old!"

"Fellow Daoist, not cultivating the Great Dao of Cause and Effect is simply letting down the Great Dao of Cause and Effect!"

They used the capital of the Dragon Clan to let the future Buddha Tathagata of Buddhism work on projects in the West, but in the end, the lion's share was taken by Xuan Yin, an outsider!

"You flatter me, senior!"

Xuan Yin chuckled and sent the consciousness of the Ancestral Dragon out of his dream.

Just now, he and Zulong had already discussed it and decided that Duobao Daoist would go to the East Sea Dragon Palace, and Zhulong would prepare those dragon corpses in advance!

……

As soon as his consciousness left the spirit realm, Xuan Yin eagerly approached Daoist Duobao: "I have a great project here that earns merit and fortune with an extremely high return rate. I wonder if you're interested, Senior Brother?"

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Duobao immediately became interested. He was on the verge of breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so the more merit and fortune he accumulated, the better.

So Xuan Yin brought up the matter of repairing the western ley lines, with the dragon clan providing the dragon corpses and Duo Bao taking charge of the actual work.

"Let's do it!"

Daoist Duobao did not hesitate. Even if he needed to sign the Heavenly Dao Divine Contract in advance and could only obtain 30% of the merit for repairing the Western Earth Veins, he was prepared to get his hands on the merit first!

Through his incarnation in the Journey to the West world, he also knew that after the Investiture of the Gods, he would most likely go to Buddhism for further study for a period of time.

Not long ago, the Tongtian Sect Leader even explained Buddhist teachings to him, saying that after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, he would personally stage a play with him to convert barbarians to Buddhism.

The merit of converting barbarians to Buddhism should belong to the master and disciple, how could it be taken by Taiqing?

Moreover, repairing the Western ley lines can also help him accumulate immense prestige in the West, perhaps even leading Buddhism to a new level in the future, thereby enriching his own cultivation!

As for the great aspirations of the Sage Zhunti...

He's just a wage slave, why should he care whether the boss can pay off his debts?

Only the benefits he gets in his hands are his own; he can't work for free!

Given his future status in Buddhism and his importance to the West, even if Zhunti is unhappy, he cannot simply eliminate him!

This deal is a win-win situation for the Wu Clan, the Di Dao Clan, the Dragon Clan, the West, and Xuan Yin. Duo Bao and the future Buddhist sect will also win big!

Seven wins!

At most, the Sage Zhunti will suffer some losses!

So, after signing the Heavenly Dao Divine Contract, Daoist Duobao went straight to the East Sea Dragon Palace, and then joined forces with the Great Luo of the Dragon Clan to put on a grand show.

The dragon corpses placed in the eye of the East Sea, along with some other dragon corpses treasured in the dragon clan's treasury, totaling five hundred dragon corpses, were all at the Great Luo realm in life, but now they have all benefited Duobao!

Looking at the five hundred Great Luo Dragon corpses in the Pagoda of Many Treasures, Daoist Duobao trembled with excitement: "These dragon corpses should be enough to evolve the earth's veins! The dragon scales, horns, pearls, and tendons—these scraps—shouldn't be needed, right? Perhaps I should keep them for now and use them for refining weapons later!"

"As the senior disciple of the Jie Sect and the future Buddha of Buddhism, I must have something to reward my followers!"

"Otherwise, who would want to follow you?"

After convincing himself, Duobao decisively collected the dragon's corpse and then slowly fled towards Wuzhuang Temple.

Placing these dragon corpses in various places in the west to transform them into ley lines will take time. It would be better to borrow the Earth Book from Zhenyuan Daxian.

Xuan Yin had already made plans for Duo Bao!

Boom!

On this day, with the Pagoda of Many Treasures on his head and the Book of Earth in his hand, Duobao swiftly merged five hundred dragon corpses into the western earth veins.

In an instant, the void trembled, the earth's veins surged, and even the Heavenly Dao lowered its gaze.

"Heaven above, our Jie Sect possesses many treasures, and having received the teachings of the sages, we are willing to seize a glimmer of hope for all living beings, so that the Western Earth's veins may be restored to their original state!"

"Today, I wish to use the remains of five hundred Great Luo True Dragons to transform the earth's veins, restoring the barren West to its former glory!"

"May Heaven bear witness!"

Before the words were finished, a vast and unparalleled power of the Heavenly Dao descended upon the western land, helping those Great Luo Dragon Corpses evolve towards the western earth veins.

The primordial chaos trembled!

Countless powerful beings turned their gazes toward Daoist Duobao, who was surrounded by the merits of the Heavenly Dao!

Not long ago, Xuan Yin's act of offering the Primordial Purple Qi to the Heavenly Dao shocked everyone. Now, Duobao Daoist of the Jie Sect has pulled another big move!

This was something they hadn't expected.

Even the gazes of several sages were involuntarily drawn to Daoist Duobao.

They naturally knew that Duobao had amazing luck and could become the Buddha, but that should have happened after the Investiture of the Gods.

How come you've already started contributing to the Western Lands before even breaking through to the Great Luo realm?

"Reaching for the heavens!"

Yuanshi Tianzun felt that this must be the work of Tongtian Jiaozhu. Could it be that he was preparing to join forces with the two Western Saints to overcome the Investiture of the Gods?

Taiqing Laozi twitched his fingertips slightly, trying to deduce the secrets of heaven and cause and effect, but all the causes and effects pointed to Duobao Daoren who was surrounded by merit at this moment!

"That's unconventional!"

He sighed softly, his gaze fixed on the future: "If things continue like this, the Vajra Bracelet and the merit and fortune of converting barbarians to Buddhism will be out of my reach! However, this development is quite interesting!"

Although acquired merits and treasures are valuable, they are nothing more than external possessions compared to one's own spiritual attainment.

He didn't really care!

Not long ago, when the Tongtian Sect Leader used the karma of Pangu to split the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, he felt a little incredulous, but soon he accepted everything.

As the Tongtian Sect Leader said, he should indeed have a share of that acquired treasure.

"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate; I will not be elated by external gains, nor saddened by personal losses! I want to see what the future of the Primordial True Realm will be like!"

Taiqing Laozi's state of mind was closest to the Dao of Heaven, except for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so naturally he would not be disturbed by the changes in the world.

On the contrary, he was somewhat hopeful.

But on Mount Sumeru, the Daoist Zhunti frowned: "Now, even the future Buddha, Tathagata, has become a variable?"

Although Daoist Duobao stole his grand ambition, as long as Duobao enters the Buddhist order in the future, wouldn't Duobao's achievements be his achievements as well?

He didn't care!

However, for some reason, he had a bad feeling about it!

The Guide Daoist smiled and said, "Perhaps this is a good thing. There are variables in the Heavenly Way, but there is also the destiny for the great prosperity of our West!"

"With this merit and good fortune, Duobao's foundation might be able to reach a higher level!"

Boom!

As soon as the Guide Daoist finished speaking, Duobao Daoist triggered the Great Luo Thunder Tribulation, preparing to use this merit and fortune to complete that final leap.

The might of Heaven was vast and boundless, reaching the highest and farthest reaches, but compared to Daoist Duobao, who was surrounded by endless merits and whose head was adorned with Daoist flowers of the highest rank, he paled in comparison and became a mere backdrop.

As the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao naturally had no shortage of resources. He mobilized all the fortune of the Jie Sect and the merits and fortune bestowed by the Heavenly Dao to support his Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!

Rumble!

After an unknown amount of time, the seventy-two lightning tribulations passed, the endless timeline converged, and a ninth-grade Dao flower was reflected in the river of time and space.

Within the Dao Flower, the Great Luo Dao Fruit rises and falls, with endless profound meaning flowing within.

A powerful figure from Zixiao Palace, witnessing this scene, exclaimed in astonishment, "A flower blooming in nine grades! Duobao possesses the potential to become a sage!"
