Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 147 A Battle of Wits? Do I believe it?

The two looked closely and discovered that the person who had come was Chen Qing.

The Sage of Reception and the Sage of Zhunti exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled. They didn't know why Chen Qing had come here.

After Chen Qing stepped out of the void passage, he closed it with a wave of his hand. He then glanced at the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Zhunti, his eyes filled with indifference.

When the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Cundi saw that the visitor was Chen Qing, they immediately stood up and bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, may I ask what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Zhunti, sighed softly, and shook his head.

"Saints Jieyin and Zhunti, you have indeed come here today for a reason."

When the Sages Jieyin and Zhunti heard Chen Qing's words, they looked at Chen Qing with puzzlement in their eyes.

"I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Chen Qing here. If there is anything we can do to help, please feel free to ask, and we will certainly do our best to assist you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the two of them with a faint smile on his face.

"Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush anymore, I'll just say it straight."

The Sage of Amitabha and the Sage of Cundi exchanged a glance, both looking on with listening intent.

Chen Qing glanced at the two of them, then stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"This time, Zhen Yuanzi went to the shore of the East Sea to ask me to help him retrieve the true spirit of Daoist Hongyun."

"Our human race always repays kindness. When the demon race was trying to destroy our human race, Zhen Yuanzi stepped in to protect millions of our people. Therefore, I agreed to Zhen Yuanzi's request and helped him find the true spirit of Hongyun."

"Now, under my great divine power, Hongyun's true spirit is missing a part. With only this last part of the true spirit remaining, Hongyun's true spirit can be considered to be fully restored, and he can reappear in the primordial world."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he looked at the Sage of Reception and the Sage of Cundi.

The Sage of Amitabha and the Sage of Cundi exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The last true spirit of Hongyun is in this Mount Sumeru. When the Sage Zhunti brought this true spirit back, the Sage Jieyin disagreed, but since it had already been brought back, he had no choice but to acquiesce.

Now that Chen Qing has come knocking on our door, things are getting a bit complicated.

Sage Zhunti looked at Chen Qing and then began to explain.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun's last true spirit was indeed in my hands. When Fellow Daoist Hongyun self-destructed, his true spirit began to crumble. In the midst of the chaos, I intervened, but only managed to save that one wisp of his true spirit."

"After I rescued that true spirit, I have been recuperating it. After all, Fellow Daoist Hongyun has been a benefactor to my fellow disciples in helping us achieve enlightenment."

"Back in Zixiao Palace, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Hongyun's kindness in giving up his seat, my fellow disciples and I would probably never have had the chance to become saints."

"The kindness that Fellow Daoist Hongyun showed to my fellow disciples was the kindness that enabled us to attain Dao. Back then, when Fellow Daoist Hongyun was plotted against, we were unable to act in time. When we did act, Fellow Daoist Hongyun naturally self-destructed."

"But I couldn't bear to do it, so I had no choice but to take action and collect Fellow Daoist Hongyun's true spirit."

"Ugh!"

"It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Hongyun's true spirit escaped too quickly, and I only managed to collect one strand of it. It's a real shame."

As the Sage Zhunti spoke these words, a look of melancholy and helplessness appeared on his face.

Chen Qing watched this scene and also revealed a cold smile.

"The Sage Zhunti is indeed kind-hearted. In order to ensure that Fellow Daoist Hongyun could not return, he specially collected a true spirit and has been nurturing it ever since."

"Saint Zhunti, it seems you still repay kindness. If True Man Hongyun returns, will you repay the debt you owe him for his enlightenment?"

Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his face also showed indifference.

The Sage's expression grew even more bitter as he looked at Chen Qing and shook his head helplessly.

Sage Zhunti was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Sage Jieyin.

"Junior brother, please stop talking and calm down first."

After the Sage finished speaking, he looked at Chen Qing and spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing is right. We, fellow disciples, owe Fellow Daoist Hongyun the debt of gratitude for our attainment of Dao, which we must repay. Once Fellow Daoist Hongyun returns, we will find a way to make amends."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Sage of Reception, gave him a deep look, and then looked at the Sage of Zhunti without saying anything.

When Sage Zhunti saw Chen Qing's gaze, he did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing's face fell into deep thought as he pondered the matter.

Upon seeing this, the already bitter face of the Sage turned even more bitter.

Chen Qing hovered alone in the void, while the Sage of Guidance and the Sage of Zhunti stood side by side, looking at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing glanced at the two of them indifferently, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"The western lands are barren and infertile, with many innate spiritual veins damaged. The western lands lack innate spiritual objects, making cultivation difficult for living beings."

"The Western Religion established by the Sage Jieyin and the Sage Zhunti faces difficulties on this Western land, and there are few outstanding disciples among its members."

As Chen Qing spoke, he glanced at the two of them, then looked at the lotus flowers in the pond. The pond was now half full, and the lotus flowers had bloomed to the sixth degree.

Chen Qing knew that this was the Merit Pool and the Golden Lotus of Fortune from the Western Religion.

If the water in the Merit Pool decreases, it will affect the Golden Lotus of Fortune. If the Golden Lotus of Fortune weakens, it means that the fortune of the Western Religion will also weaken.

At this point, Chen Qing had made it very clear that if Hongyun's true spirit was not given, then the Western Sect, located in the Western Land, would become even more impoverished.

The Sage of Reception had already understood what Chen Qing meant. He looked at Chen Qing with a helpless expression in his eyes, then glanced at the Sage of Zhunti and slowly spoke.

"Junior brother, let's take out Fellow Daoist Hongyun's true spirit. After so many years of nurturing, Fellow Daoist Hongyun's true spirit should be almost fully nurtured."

Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti looked at the Sage Jieyin, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Senior brother, you should think this through carefully. Once it's taken out, there will be a lot of trouble later."

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Assistance looked at the Sage of Cundi and shook his head helplessly.

Chen Qing glanced at the Sage Zhunti, then slowly spoke.

"In Zixiao Palace, the position of the overlord of heaven and earth has already been determined to be held by the human race. According to my calculations, for the human race to become the overlord of heaven and earth, it needs to have the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Only in this way can they truly become the overlord of heaven and earth."

"Among these three emperors, I have decided that the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor will be Fuxi and Hongyun respectively."

"At that time, Fuxi will be the Heavenly Emperor and Hongyun will be the Earthly Emperor, leading the human race to the position of the overlord of heaven and earth."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, his face turned cold, and his eyes revealed a chilling intent.

Upon hearing this, the Sage looked at Chen Qing's expression and saw a look of helplessness in his eyes.

He turned his head to look at the Sage Zhunti and shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, alright, since Junior Brother doesn't want to do it, then I'll do it."

After the Sage finished speaking, he immediately used his magic power to strike the pool.
