Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

As the two sages remained silent, dark clouds gathered over Kunlun Mountain.

After a long silence, Laozi made his decision: "Very well, after the Eastern King Duke's death, you can keep the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. As for the matter of the Intercepting Sect recruiting more disciples, I think it can be expanded to three hundred and sixty-five people. Second brother, what do you think?"

"Three hundred and sixty-five? That's fine. Third brother, what do you think?"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly. Although this number was still large, it was much better than the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation used by Tongtian Jiaozhu to suppress the fortune.

The quantity had been slashed to a fraction of its original amount. Although the Tongtian Sect Leader wasn't entirely satisfied, he knew there was no point in arguing further, so he nodded and said, "Fine, three hundred and sixty-five it is!"

Lao Tzu and Yuanshi Tianzun exchanged a glance, knowing they had said too much again!

"How is Li Qing, the one under your tutelage, doing?"

Upon hearing the mention of disciples, Laozi's heart stirred, recalling the bet between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, so he asked about it.

The Master of Heaven glanced at him, already knowing his current situation, and laughed, "Not bad, not bad. He has already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. He went out some time ago to seek an opportunity to break through. When he returns, he should already be a Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"So what if you're a Taiyi Golden Immortal? Without reaching the Great Luo realm, you're just laying the foundation. If the foundation isn't solid, the earth will shake; you may progress quickly, but you might not go far!"

Seeing that Tongtian Jiaozhu was quite pleased with himself, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but say, "Moreover, I have been sending my disciples out one after another to find the cave dwellings I left behind, to consolidate their foundations by combining the fortune of the blessed lands. Before long, they will all be Taiyi Golden Immortals!"

"Cultivating in a blessed land and grotto-heaven is indeed a good method."

Laozi nodded slightly and smiled, "However, it's still best to let them return to Kunlun Mountain to receive your teachings, lest they go astray. Those two in the West have been racking their brains to make the West flourish. Before they become saints, they shouldn't try to force karmic ties with the people of the East. After they become saints, it's hard to guarantee that they won't set their sights on the disciples of my Xuanmen sect."

"He dares!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was the first to speak, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and he sneered, "Does he think he can outmaneuver my Four Swords of Immortal Execution? If he dares to come, I'll surround his Mount Sumeru and see what face he has left to call himself a saint!"

A sharp glint flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes, and he laughed, "I doubt they'd dare. Otherwise, I'd show them that even among sages, there are differences!"

With the Pangu Banner, a supreme treasure, Yuanshi Tianzun was confident that he could fight two opponents at once, dealing with Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist!

Lao Tzu stroked his long beard and said no more, but he remained highly vigilant towards the two Western sages.

If the West wants to prosper, it must start with the East.

He didn't believe that the Guide Daoist or the Zhunti Daoist would give up out of fear.

In particular, when they attained sainthood, they made great vows and owed the Heavenly Dao a great deal of merit!

On Mount Kunlun, the Three Pure Ones were discussing the Two Sages of the West, while on Mount Sumeru, the Guide Daoist lay horizontally by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and the Zhunti Daoist sat upright under the Bodhi Tree, also discussing the Three Pure Ones.

"The Witch Clan killed Lei Ze, and I think the Demon Clan will also become restless. The True Fire of the Sun is acting strangely; I'm afraid the Demon Clan is preparing to use the power of the Sun Star to break the formation. If that happens, the Eastern King Duke will perish!"

Cundi Buddha Mother was somewhat troubled, as the great vow she made when she attained enlightenment weighed heavily on her heart.

Although there have been two saints, the prosperity of the West has made no progress in the past few thousand years.

In the East, there are the Three Pure Ones and the Demon Emperor. Those talented individuals first go to Kunlun Mountain to become disciples. If they fail, they directly join the demon race. They are unwilling to come to the barren lands of the West.

Zhunti's intention is not with the Eastern King Duke, but with the myriad immortals. This time, if the West can take over the myriad immortals in Penglai Purple Palace, it will immediately boost the West's fortune significantly!

Without even opening his eyes, the Guide Daoist uttered a grand voice that resounded across the summit of Mount Sumeru: "The Eastern King Duke is the head of the male immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. As the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, I will certainly step in to protect the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke for the sake of the face of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun."

Those who survived after the battle lines were broken, it would be difficult for us to bring them to the West in front of Lao Tzu!

In the primordial world, none of the five sages or the two major powers wanted the leader of the male immortals to live.

However, the two major forces and the various sages have different focuses.

The Lich and Demon races simply felt that the existence of a Quasi-Saint with two corpses and more than ten thousand immortals during their final battle was too much of a variable.

If both sides suffer heavy losses, wouldn't that allow the Eastern King to benefit?

Moreover, Dongwanggong was the head of the male immortals personally appointed by Hongjun Daozu, and he was born with a great sense of righteousness, so there was even more reason to kill him.

Laozi, on the other hand, wanted to uphold the dignity of the Xuanmen sect and retrieve the dragon-headed walking stick bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Yuanshi Tianzun wanted the Eastern King Duke's supreme yang energy to transform into the Dao and pave the way for his disciples, while also saving the relatively respectful Western Queen Mother.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, on the other hand, was thinking of using the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation as an excuse to get Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun to agree to let him take on more disciples.

What the two Western Saints wanted was the myriad immortals under the command of the Eastern King Duke, to set a good precedent for converting Eastern beings to the West, and ideally, to obtain the Eastern King Duke's innate spiritual treasures to enhance the foundation of the Western religion.

"Instead of waiting, I should infiltrate the Penglai Purple Mansion now and establish karmic connections with some people who are destined for great fortune. These people will naturally be more likely to survive this calamity. Once they have karmic connections with me, it will be natural for me to guide them to the West."

Zhunti Daoist was unwilling to give up this opportunity, so he decided to temporarily set aside his saintly dignity and blend into the Penglai Purple Palace.

"Now that the Eastern King Duke and the Witch Clan are at odds, it's the perfect time for me to infiltrate them!"

The Daoist Zhunti acted immediately, concealing the pomp and circumstance of a sage's journey. With a single step, space twisted, and he was already hidden above the East Sea.

Just then, from the Sun Star, the cries of golden crows echoed through the heavens.

Daoist Zhunti suddenly looked up, a shadow falling over his face: "The Golden Crow clan has given birth to ten descendants?"

The Demon Emperor has offspring, ten in total.

With Di Jun and Tai Yi setting an example, the demon race would undoubtedly have full confidence in the cultivation of the ten little golden crows.

"The demon race's high morale is not a good thing!"

Zhunti Daoist withdrew his gaze. Among the six sages, he and Jieyin Daoist were the ones who most hoped for the destruction of the demon race, so that there would be hope for the great prosperity of the West.

"On my first journey after becoming a saint, I encountered the birth of you all; it is truly a predestined encounter!"

After calculating for a while, Master Zhunti thought to himself.

The expressions of the group of witches in the East China Sea changed. Di Jiang sneered, revealing his plan to launch a strong attack on Penglai Island using the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

"Let's go! If he dares to chase us, we'll turn around and fight!"

The witch clan retreated in a rush, and the Eastern King was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

The unusual movement of the sun star naturally affected the primordial world, at least that's what Li Qing thought.

Otherwise, how could one inexplicably and suddenly stumble into a primordial array?
