……

Master Xuandu knelt on the ground again and kowtowed three times to Laozi respectfully. Then he said goodbye and left Xiqi, returning to the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.

Watching the figure of Master Xuandu leaving, Laozi couldn't help but sigh. He even said to himself, "The fact that Niu Kui was able to guide the six saints to attain enlightenment that day already shows that he has foresight."

"I clearly understood the key to this, so why did I end up standing against Niu Kui?"

"Could it be that this is the will of Heaven? Is Heaven behind the scenes playing tricks on us, making the Heavenly Saints subconsciously not believe that Niu Kui can accomplish great things?"

Suddenly, a bold guess came to Laozi's mind, "Under Niu Kui's arrangement, Tongtian and Nuwa did not hesitate to withdraw the Hongmeng purple energy and abandon their saintly positions."

"Could it be that this Hongmeng purple energy is the key to changing the Heavenly Dao Saint? Only by extracting the Hongmeng purple energy can we avoid being bewitched and controlled by the Heavenly Dao?"

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this possibility was very high. I even had the idea of ​​asking Tongtian for confirmation.

After thinking it over again and again, Laozi suppressed this impulse in his heart. He planned to discuss it with Yuanshi Tianzun before deciding whether to ask Tongtian.

After making up his mind, Laozi turned back to the reed hut and spoke with a serious expression.

"My fellow Taoists, Xuandu just brought me some news. He said that the human sages from Huoyun Cave might come to Sishui Pass to help Tongtian."

I must have an excuse to come back so that the two Buddhist saints in the West can be satisfied. He made up this reason at random.

And it is still possible to use it. In this way, even if the sages of the human race do not appear at that time, he still has room for maneuver.

Little did I know that this random excuse I made up turned out to be correct by accident. It was definitely an unexpected surprise.

When the two Western saints heard Lao Tzu say that the ancestors of the human race might get involved, worry appeared on their faces.

This is not because the human race's ancestors had high cultivation levels, but because all of the human race's ancestors had a huge amount of merit.

In addition to merits, he also possessed the blessing of the human race's luck and even the power of faith of the human race.

Not to mention that their cultivation has reached the peak realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, I'm afraid that even if they are Taiyi Golden Immortals, no one would dare to kill them easily.

Otherwise, this cause and effect alone would be enough to cause his death, and he wouldn't even have the chance to be included in the List of Gods, and would have to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

In other words, these human sages are definitely more difficult to deal with than the quasi-saints of Jiejiao. That's why the two saints in the West showed such expressions.

This was exactly the effect Laozi wanted, so he immediately spoke again: "My two Taoist friends, if the ancestors of the human race really get involved, I will have to trouble you two Taoist friends to take action."

After hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the two Western saints became more solemn, and the Taoist Zhunti spoke directly.

"Fellow Daoist Laozi, don't forget that we are in a cooperative relationship. You can't harm your allies just for your own benefit."

"Those human ancestors all possessed great merit and great fortune. If you ask the Western Church to deal with them, wouldn't that cut off the lineage of the Western Church?"

After hearing this, Laozi shook his head without hesitation and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, you have misunderstood me. Since we are already allies, I have no reason to harm you." "And the reason why I asked you two Daoists to take action is not to let you kill the ancestors of the human race. It is to set up a merit cage and use the merit to trap the ancestors of the human race."

“When the time comes, as long as the Conferred God Tribulation is over, you two Daoists can send the ancestors of the human race back to the Fire Cloud Cave. And ask Master to seal the Fire Cloud Cave completely.”

As soon as Laozi said this, the two saints in the West immediately stopped trying to evade the question. Because only by relying on the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit as a guide, and then using merit to set up a cage, can it be called a merit cage.

Since I can't refuse, I can only accept it. After all, the two sides are now in a cooperative relationship, and it's not that the other party is begging me.

But how could the two saints from the West let Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun take advantage of them? The Taoist Jieyin spoke at that time.

"It's not difficult to set up a merit cage. After all, the Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus is in my hand. But if you want to set up a perfect merit cage, the merit you need is not just a little bit."

"I'm afraid that the two of us cannot come up with such a huge amount of merit. So I can only ask the two Taoist friends to take out some of their merit to help the two of us refine the merit cage."

What the Taoist Jieyin said was also reasonable and well-founded. I couldn't help but regret it in my heart, wondering why I found such an excuse.

Originally, he planned to trick the two saints from the West and distract them from refining the Merit Cage. At that time, he could not only consume the merits of the Western Church, but also create an opportunity for Tongtian.

But now, although my goal has been achieved, I have to give up some merits.

Helplessly, he could only nod and then take out a portion, which was enough to create the heavenly merit of a Daluo Jinxian.

The Taoist Jie Yin did not hesitate to take it and said, "It won't be long before the Conferred God Battle."

"We brothers must hurry up and refine the Merit Cage. As for other matters, I will have to trouble you two fellow Taoists."

In response, Laozi nodded expressionlessly. After all, this was his purpose, so he naturally couldn't show his happiness.

At the same time, Master Yuandu had also returned to the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and met Niu Kui.

Master Xuandu Dao narrated the whole story to Niu Kui, and told him that Laozi promised to pass on the position of the leader of the Human Religion to him after the Conferred God Ceremony.

In response, Niu Kui simply nodded, "I didn't expect that I, who practices the Way of Inaction, would actually develop a father-son relationship with you. It's really an honor for you."

At this moment, Youchao's voice sounded behind Master Xuandu.

"Brother Xuandu, I wonder if you and Laozi will still remember us, the old brothers, now that we have a father-son relationship. Will you lead us, the old brothers, to fight against your master for the sake of your own race?"

Hearing Youchao's voice, Xuandu couldn't help showing joy. After all, they were all innate people created by Nuwa herself.

Since he became a disciple, it has been a long time since they last met. How could Master Xuandu not be excited when they met again?

But what Chao said next was like a basin of cold water, pouring directly from Master Xuandu's head to his heels.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ziyi glared at Youchao fiercely. Then he said to Master Xuandu: "Brother Xuandu, don't listen to Youchao's nonsense. Master didn't ask you to lead us to fight against the Saint Laozi." (End of this chapter)
