Crossing chat group: After listening to the advice, I dominate the prehistoric world

Chapter 294: Pretend to obey but secretly disobey! The primitive world with undercurrents surging!

Taoist Duobao slowly withdrew his consciousness from the Yuanling Immortal Network, and the excitement in his heart caused by the reward announced by Lu Yun could not subside for a long time.

He closed his eyes, and in his mind emerged the glorious scene of himself becoming a quasi-saint and eventually entering the realm of a saint. The supreme glory and power made his heart surge.

"I must rush to Shouyang City as soon as possible. Any delay may be a waste of opportunity." Duobao thought to himself. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a clear and majestic voice ringing in his ears: "Duobao, come to the heaven quickly. There is something important to discuss with you."

Duobao was very familiar with this voice. It was the voice of the benevolent corpse of Master Tongtian - Taoist Qinglian.

Duobao felt helpless. He knew that the master's summons could not be ignored, not to mention the important matters concerning the Heavenly Dao camp. Although he was full of anticipation for the upcoming competition, he could only put it aside temporarily and head to the Heavenly Realm.

"Fortunately, with my strength, even if I go to heaven, I will be able to rush back to Shouyang City to participate in the competition." Duobao comforted himself, and then used his magical powers to transform into a stream of light, cutting through the sky and rushing towards heaven.

During the journey, Duobao was not lonely. He met other disciples of the Chan sect who were also summoned, such as Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao Niangniang, etc.

"Big Brother, you have been summoned as well?" Zhao Gongming asked as soon as they met. His eyes also showed curiosity about what was about to happen.

"Yes, Master summoned me and said there is something important. I think it is related to the reward announced by Lu Yun." Duobao responded with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Speaking of this matter, Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao couldn't help but show excitement on their faces.

Qiong Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Senior brothers and sisters, do you think we have a chance to get a special reward?"

Yun Xiao said proudly: "Of course, with the strength of our Jie Sect, if we can't win a special reward, which other party can get it?"

Zhao Gongming shook his head slightly, his eyes showing both expectation and rationality: "Junior sister, that special reward is extraordinary, and it is not easy to obtain. However, as long as everyone works together, there may be a chance."

Bi Xiao also nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "That's right, when have we, the disciples of Jiejiao, ever been afraid of a challenge?!"

Qiong Xiao smiled at Duo Bao and said, "Don't worry, Big Brother. We are here to lend you a helping hand and together we can fight for the supreme glory!"

Duobao felt the support of his fellow disciples and felt a warm current in his heart. He smiled and said, "With you here, my confidence is naturally doubled. However, we should go to the heaven first and listen to the master's instructions."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, then accelerated their pace and soon arrived at the heaven.

In the heaven, there are clouds and mist, and the fairy palace is majestic.

Duobao and others arrived at the Biyou Palace, the Taoist temple of Master Tongtian, only to see that Taoist Qinglian had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Qinglian." Duobao and others bowed respectfully.

Not long after they arrived here, other disciples of Jiejiao also arrived.

Taoist Qinglian nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Those who have passed the first stage will stay, and the others can go back to practice in seclusion!"

A group of disciples who did not pass the first stage breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Because they had heard before that those who did not pass the competition from the Chan sect seemed to have been severely punished, and now Taoist Qinglian did not blame them, they were naturally very happy.

But after their joy, they all felt a little ashamed of their behavior, and quickly bowed and accepted the order and left.

After they left, Taoist Qinglian looked at Duobao, Zhao Gongming and others, and slowly said, "What do you think of the special reward that Lu Yun just announced?"

Hearing this, Duobao, Zhao Gongming, Jinling Shengmu and other disciples of the Chan sect looked at each other, and their expressions became somewhat subtle.

How could they not have imagined at this point that the saints from the Heavenly Dao camp did not like the special rewards that Lu Yun offered at all!
Come to think of it, once someone becomes a saint with the help of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" given by Lu Yun, he must be a person from the human and earthly camps. So what would it be like if the disciples of the heavenly camp got that special reward?

Could it be that Taoist Qinglian wanted them to give up that amazing opportunity?
When everyone thought of this, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. After all, it was a chance to become a saint, who could give up so easily?

After thinking it over again and again, Duobao Taoist stepped forward and answered respectfully: "Reporting to Uncle Master, the special reward announced by Lu Yun is indeed an unprecedented temptation. Once this reward is announced, the competition will definitely become more intense. And the result of the competition is not only related to the improvement of personal cultivation, but also to the glory of our Jiejiao and even the entire Tiandao camp."

Zhao Gongming took over the conversation with a firm look in his eyes: "That's right, Uncle Master. I think that Lu Yun's move is intended to stir up people's hearts and divide our Tiandao camp. But my disciples of Jiejiao have always been united and are not afraid of strong enemies, let alone challenges."

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother added: "Moreover, since Lu Yun dares to use such a reward as bait, he must have some ulterior motive. I guess he might want to take this opportunity to attract more strong people to join the human and underground paths and weaken the power of our Heavenly Dao camp. However, if the reward falls into our hands, his calculations will naturally fail!"

Yun Xiao was more direct: "That's right, all of us Jiejiao disciples are great. As long as we are on the field, there is no reason to back down. We must get that special reward!"

Taoist Qinglian couldn't help feeling helpless when listening to their words.

He naturally knew that it was extremely difficult to persuade these disciples to give up the opportunity to become a saint.

Not to mention these disciples, even he, if he was not already a saint, would have wanted to participate in the snatch personally!

However, he could not disobey Daozu's orders!

Taoist Qinglian sighed softly and looked into the distance with a deep gaze, as if he was weighing many complex factors.

"You are absolutely right. The temptation of that special reward is hard for even this poor Taoist to ignore."

He changed the subject and his tone became serious and firm: "However, we, the disciples of Jiejiao, have always put the overall situation first and taken it as our responsibility to protect the Heavenly Dao. Lu Yun's move is to test the will and unity of our Heavenly Dao camp. If we fight among ourselves because of our own selfish desires, it will play into his hands. Therefore, I ask you to stay sober and rational, and not let your selfish desires blind your eyes."

Hearing this, Duobao Daoist was shocked and bowed, saying, "I will remember your teachings, Uncle Master. I will put the overall situation first, not be swayed by selfish desires, and go all out to win glory for Jiejiao and contribute to the Tiandao camp."

Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Jin Ling Sheng Mu and others also expressed their opinions, vowing to abide by the teachings of their masters and put the interests of Jiejiao and Tiandao camps first.

At least they have to have this attitude now. As for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, if they have a chance to obtain it in the future... they will just have to act according to the circumstances!

Taoist Qinglian saw this and nodded slightly, his expression relaxed. "Okay, with your determination, why should I worry about the prosperity of Jiejiao? However, you must not take it lightly. The competition will definitely be more intense in the second stage. You need to work harder to practice, improve your strength, and strengthen your cooperation to cope with the upcoming challenges." He then ordered: "Next, I will personally formulate a training plan for you and teach you some strategies for dealing with special situations that may be encountered in the competition. You must devote yourself wholeheartedly and not slack off at all."

Duobao and the others were all excited when they heard this, with anticipation and fighting spirit flashing in their eyes.

They naturally also knew that with Lu Yun throwing out the temptation of Hongmeng Purple Qi, the contestants would first try their best to improve their strength, and then use any means to eliminate their competitors.

Among them, there will inevitably be some people who collude with some strong people who are not qualified to participate in the competition and plot to assassinate other contestants.

Therefore, under the leadership of Taoist Qinglian, Duobao, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Jinling Shengmu and other elite disciples of Jiejiao began more intensive and orderly practice and preparation.

……

At the same time, similar things were happening within the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and the Northern Sea Sect.

All the saint incarnations did as Hongjun requested and explained the interests involved to their disciples, asking them not to be tempted by Lu Yun, but not letting them give up the competition.

The situation on the Human Sect's side is a bit special, because Laozi's benevolent corpse Taishang Laojun and his disciple Xuandu have both reincarnated, and also participated in the Honghuang Genius Competition, and both passed the first stage, but their mentality is not too concerned about this Honghuang Genius Competition.

On the contrary, they are now more inclined to repay the karma of the human race for the sake of religion.

How to repay?

Naturally, it means fulfilling the responsibility of preaching and educating mankind as mentioned by Lao Tzu when he first established the religion.

However, it is not easy to accomplish this task now.

Because, after Lu Yun preached to the human race many times, the human race is now prosperous, with various methods of cultivation and magical powers emerging one after another, and there is even a situation where there is no need for humans to preach.

Therefore, when everyone else was preparing for the Honghuang Genius Competition, the master and disciple were more focused on gaining a deeper understanding of the human race and trying to find a suitable method to preach.

In the dead of night, Xuan Du sat alone in a simple thatched cottage, the flickering candlelight illuminating his resolute face.

He pondered for a long time, and finally had a bold idea: "If I can seize the Hongmeng purple energy and become a saint, not only can I greatly enhance my own strength, but I can also better protect and guide the human race as a saint. Isn't this the best way to help Master repay the karma?"

The next morning, Xuandu excitedly expressed his ideas to Li Er, the reincarnation of Taishang Laojun.

After hearing this, Li Er frowned and shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of worry: "Xuan Du, your idea is good, but have you ever thought that once you use the Hongmeng Purple Qi to become a saint, you will no longer belong to the Heavenly Dao camp, but to the Human Dao or the Earthly Dao. This not only means that you will be alienated from the entire Heavenly Dao camp, but in order to gain a foothold in the Human Dao camp, you are more likely to bear the stigma of betraying your master."

Xuandu's expression did not change when he heard this, but became more determined: "I have received great kindness from Master, and I have no way to repay him in this life. Now, I am willing to shoulder the cause and effect between the Human Religion and the Human Race. If I can sacrifice myself in exchange for the long-term peace and prosperity of the Human Religion and the Human Race, I will be happy to do so. As for the reputation of betraying the master, I believe that the true relationship between master and disciple will not be diminished by the division of camps."

He paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face again, saying, "What's more, isn't this a great opportunity for me?"

After all, this is an opportunity to achieve enlightenment and become a saint, an opportunity that countless people in the ancient times could only dream of!
The only slight difference is that if Xuan Du got this opportunity, he would have to take on more things.

Li Er looked at the disciple in front of him, with mixed emotions in his heart: gratified, touched, and reluctant to leave.

He also knew Xuan Du's character and determination, and once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.

Finally, Li Er sighed and nodded slowly: "Okay, Xuandu, since you have made up your mind, I will fully support you. However, you must remember that no matter where you are, you are always a disciple of my human sect and the successor of Taiqing."

Afterwards, Li Er began to teach Xuan Du everything he knew, not only teaching him more advanced methods of cultivation, but also personally instructing him on how to stand out in the upcoming competition and seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

……

In Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun soon discovered that the Tiandao camp was pretending to obey him!
For a moment, he was secretly extremely angry.

These guys even found a very good excuse. Instead of letting the Hongmeng Purple Qi prepared by Lu Yun fall into the hands of people from other forces and let the other party become Lu Yun's side, it is better to let the disciples of their Tiandao camp seize it.

At that time, the worst that could happen to them would be that they would ask their disciples not to use the Hongmeng Purple Qi to attain sainthood, and Lu Yun’s plan would naturally fail!

Hongjun didn't even have anything to say about this.

However, he also knew that if he pushed too hard, these saints in the Heavenly Dao camp might produce an even more violent backlash.

At this point he could only pretend not to know everyone's little thoughts, and continued to discuss the construction of Tianyuan Point with Laozi and the others. At the same time, he kept urging himself, the Taoist priest Cricket Eel, to find the Immortal Yangmei as soon as possible and find out the location of Lu Yun's lair.

……

At the same time, in addition to the Tiandao camp, other people participating in this Honghuang Genius Competition also took action.

In order to ensure that their participating tribesmen can stand out, each ethnic group has tried their best to protect and train them. At the same time, they have also tried hard to contact strong people from all sides to reach cooperation with everyone.

The powerful people from all parties who were originally depressed that they had no chance to participate in seizing the Hongmeng Purple Qi naturally responded actively and participated.

Even many powerful hidden masters came out.

Some people promised to protect certain contestants, while others were directly prepared to assassinate other contestants in order to reduce the competitive pressure for the contestants they supported.

For a time, undercurrents surged in the wilderness.
