Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 173 The Primordial Scheme: Using the Lamp to Obtain the Three Great Causes and Effects of the West, Conceptual Deities, and the Desire to Create All Things with a Single Thought.

Cihang, Puxian, Wenshu, and Julusun trembled as they turned to look at the source of the voice.

A Taoist figure appeared before them. The Taoist was surrounded by auspicious clouds that stretched for 30,000 feet, and his body was shrouded in colorful clouds. He wore a Taoist robe and held the Three Treasures Ruyi. His calm voice instilled fear in everyone.

"Master...Master...Master..."

Although Randeng and Huanglong were not named, their expressions and demeanor were no different from those of Cihang and the other three.

The story of the Jie Sect's Chang'er Dingguang is still fresh in the minds of people in the prehistoric world, and the sect leader had even mocked the Jie Sect. Now that he has been slapped in the face, one can imagine how the sect leader felt.

The four Cihang disciples, their faces filled with terror, were speechless. If it were the likes of Randeng and Huanglong who betrayed the sect, there would be nothing to say, since they were not highly regarded in the Chan Sect and would understandably want to develop in a different platform.

But Cihang, Puxian, Julusun, and Wenshu are different. In the Chan Sect, their treatment and the spiritual treasures bestowed by the sages are far superior to those of the three-no Daoist Huanglong.

Most importantly, the two Western Saints did not come to the rescue, which made Dipankara, Cihang and everyone else feel utterly hopeless.

Without hesitation, Randeng, Cihang, Puxian, and Wenshu knelt down on the ground and said, "Disciples are guilty."

At this moment, Tongtian Jiaozhu of Jin'ao Island seemed to have discovered the shameful deeds of Chan Sect. He waved his sleeve and countless Saint Laws erupted, instantly creating a scene of Saint Laws condensed all over the prehistoric world.

The central image shows Randeng and his companions kneeling before Yuanshi Tianzun, and their auras no longer reflect any Xuanmen (mystical) influence, but instead embody Western magic.

Countless beings in the primordial world were greatly shocked upon seeing this. The Primordial Heavenly Lord was even more enraged by Tongtian's behavior, and his arrogant words seemed to make the entire primordial world feel his anger.

Upon seeing this, Guang Chengzi in Yuxu Palace couldn't help but glance at the disciples still inside. They exchanged bewildered glances...

"Hahaha..." Tongtian's loud laughter rang out, causing Taiqing Laozi in Shouyang Mountain to sigh softly.

"Your sins are unforgivable, and you shall be annihilated in the primordial chaos, with no thought left!" Yuanshi Tianzun's calm gaze fell upon Randeng and the others. Then, all the saintly power within him erupted, and the Three Treasures Ruyi, carrying Yuanshi Tianzun's furious strike, locked onto Randeng, Cihang, and the others.

"Sage who guides me, save me!" Upon seeing this, Randeng could no longer hold back and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Upon hearing Ran Deng's words, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes grew even more indifferent. The next moment, the Pangu Banner appeared out of thin air, its overwhelming malevolent aura stirring the entire West.

Just then, a golden lotus of merit suddenly appeared, also carrying the power of a saint, and protected Randeng, Cihang, and the others.

Jieyin and Zhunti also appeared here, but their expressions were equally grim.

Logically, after Dipankara and the others had the idea of ​​establishing Buddhism, the two of them, as the two Western Saints, should have sensed it. However, they were completely unaware of it. In fact, when Dipankara was about to establish Buddhism, the heavenly secrets were deliberately concealed, catching the two of them off guard.

But neither of them dared to utter a word; few in the primordial world possessed such abilities…

"Brother Yuanshi, I apologize for not being able to greet you properly this time." When Jieyin saw Yuanshi Tianzun, his aura exploded, as if he was always on guard against Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Zhunti greets Brother Yuanshi." Zhunti also stood behind Jieyin, the two of them protecting Randeng and the others with perfect understanding.

Upon seeing this, Randeng, Cihang, and the others gasped for breath. The feeling of escaping death made Randeng's soul tremble!

"Burning Lamp and his companions went to the West to establish Buddhism and the great power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao. For the sake of the great power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, this time it will probably be hard for Brother Yuanshi Dao."

"Brother Yuanshi, you may speak frankly. If our Western Regions can do it, we will not refuse," Jieyin said in a kind and gentle tone.

Now that things have come to this, the fate of the West and its people are in the hands of Ran Deng and others, and it is also the key to whether the West will prosper in the future. The West must protect them.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer. Instead, the Pangu Banner he held unleashed an extremely powerful aura and attacked the two Western Saints.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but frown and start fighting with Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun valued his reputation the most, and he was definitely angry and wanted to take it out on them. For the sake of the prosperity of the West, the two saints agreed...

After an unknown amount of time, the war between the saints that broke out in the West stopped. When countless beings in the prehistoric world saw the three saints again, both Jieyin and Zhunti had bruises on their faces, while Yuanshi Tianzun only had a slightly disordered aura.

"I wonder if Brother Yuanshi has calmed down."

"The West acts in accordance with the Way of Heaven, yet goes against the order of all things in the primordial world. This is a great cause and effect. Through the hands of my religion, they have stolen the fortune of Heaven and Earth and given it to the West. This is an even greater cause and effect. You, West..."

Since things had come to this point, Yuanshi Tianzun did not make any further moves, but instead looked at the two Western Saints and said.

If it were someone like Long-Eared Dingguang, the two Western Saints would certainly not dare to offend the Saints rashly. But can Randeng and his companions compare to Long-Eared Dingguang?

Then the three saints set up a barrier. It is unknown what they talked about, but it is known that when the two Western saints came out, their faces did not look good, and even their pain was written all over their faces.

"I hope you in the West will not act like children." Before leaving, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable gave the two Western Saints a deep look.

It was as if he had already achieved his goal. As for his disciples, Randeng and Cihang, they were not worth mentioning. Even if they were his disciples, such as a Quasi-Saint and several Daluo Golden Immortals, they were not taken seriously by Yuanshi Tianzun.

As Jieyin watched the disappearing figure of Yuanshi Tianzun, he said with some emotion, "Among countless top deities, those who can become saints are no ordinary people. Brother Nuwa, Brother Laozi, and even Yuanshi are all like this..."

Tongtian's anger was genuine anger, the anger of a living being, caused by his actions in the West and the betrayal of his disciples, which made Tongtian utterly enraged.

The Primordial Celestial Lord's anger stemmed from the fact that the flour had fallen from his face. As for his anger at his disciple's betrayal? Neither of the two sages saw that.

The lives of Randeng, Cihang, and others are crucial to the future of the West. It is precisely for this reason that Yuanshi Tianzun is certain of the West's future and dares to directly manipulate these two saints because of this matter.

Otherwise, no matter how much Yuanshi Tianzun talked, Jieyin and Zhunti would not agree, because the West owes Yuanshi Tianzun three karmic debts!

That involves three causes and effects, three separate events that would require the intervention of the two Western Saints, and even the entire Western Religion!

"Yuanshi's plans are far-reaching. If our Western Regions are thrown into chaos because of this..." Zhunti trailed off, clearly fearing Yuanshi's next scheme.

The plans of a sage are not child's play. Yuanshi Tianzun was a primordial sage, extremely noble. For a sage to spend so much effort on a plan, it must be extraordinary, and it might even directly confront the Heavenly Dao!

"It's alright. Yuanshi has his own plans, but surely we in the West have our own plans too? The Heavenly Sage is good, but it is not what we seek..." Jieyin said in a deep voice.
