Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 156 The Thoughts of the Sages

The person who arrived was none other than Hongyun, who had disappeared for countless years!

Nuwa was surprised.

What surprised him even more was the person behind Hongyun, who had a compassionate expression on his face.

Nuwa gave Hongyun a deep look.

Then he turned his gaze to Gui Xuan and Tongtian Jiaozhu, "Brother Dao, you truly have remarkable skills."

"With a single trick, they stole the fortune of the Western Sect and even converted my demonic master into a Buddha."

With her discerning eye, how could she possibly see the Buddhist aura emanating from Hongyun?

Hongyun's ascension to sainthood was no longer surprising to him.

What surprised Nuwa was that Hongyun became a saint without a sound or a word.

The Buddhist and Taoist aura emanating from him was even more powerful than that of the two Western Saints.

"Hongyun pays respects to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

Upon entering Shangqing Palace, Hongyun nodded to Nuwa, then respectfully bowed to Guixuan.

This scene once again shook Nuwa to her core.

What exactly is the identity of this person who can make a sage become the ancestor of the Dao?

Gui Xuan smiled and said, "Please sit down."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

The vast Golden Turtle Island was shrouded by a sky-covering formation, instantly throwing the celestial secrets of the place into chaos.

Tongtian spoke up, "Junior sister, please don't be offended."

"The karmic connection between Kunpeng and Fellow Daoist Hongyun was resolved after Kunpeng joined Buddhism."

The implication is that this is the cause and effect between them, and no one else is allowed to investigate.

It also indirectly explains to Nuwa the reason why Hongyun became a saint.

Nuwa chose to remain silent in response.

She was one of the witnesses to the events that occurred in Zixiao Palace during the sermon of Master Hongjun.

The cause and effect between Jieyin, Zhunti, Kunpeng and Hongyun is also very clear.

It seems that Hongyun's appearance this time is to reclaim everything that belongs to her.

After a moment's thought, Nuwa said, "All that has passed is gone, and I know that in my heart."

"I have come to Jin'ao Island to express my gratitude to you, fellow Daoist, and Dao Ancestor Guixuan for your help earlier."

If Guixuan hadn't intervened, even if she had a way to escape the salvation of the two Western Saints, it would have taken her a lot of effort.

There are even certain risks involved.

Gui Xuan nodded. "No need to be so polite."

With a flick of his finger, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit appeared in the Shangqing Palace.

"Hongyun, this treasure is an object used by the Western Sect to suppress destiny. Today, I will hand it over to you."

Hongyun accepted the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit with a respectful expression, saying, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor Guixuan."

Then he sat cross-legged to one side, with Kunpeng silently behind him.

The Grand Master of Heaven suddenly spoke, "Junior Sister, a great calamity has arrived. What are your plans?"

"I have already said in Zixiao Palace that my disciples are dying out, and this great calamity has nothing to do with me."

Nuwa said calmly.

The Master of the Heavens chuckled, "Unrelated? Junior sister, don't be so naive."

"The secrets of heaven are already in chaos. When Zhunti secretly made his move, my junior sister was already drawn into the scheme. How can you say she was unrelated?"

Nuwa's face instantly turned gloomy.

His hatred for Zhunti deepened.

This troublemaker, in order to make the West prosper, has thrown the Eastern world into chaos. He's utterly despicable!

Tongtian secretly observed Nuwa, and seeing that it was about time, he spoke again, "Junior sister, you should join forces to overcome the tribulation soon."

"If we are targeted in the future, we need to have someone to rely on."

They are all ancient deities who have lived for countless years; some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

A brief mention will make it clear.

The Supreme Saint of this realm, Yuanshi Tianzun, is so self-centered that he even abandons his younger brother, who has been by his side for countless years.

The Tongtian Cult Leader had long since given up hope on them.

If he could bring Nuwa of this world into his camp, he, the Tongtian Sect Leader, could completely suppress the entire scene with just the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Nuwa pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "Very well!"

The two Western Saints have been suppressed.

Now only four of the Xuanmen Saints remain.

Since the Sage Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were skilled in scheming, the loyal and righteous Tongtian was their best ally.

Nuwa thought it over and decided that it wouldn't hurt to agree.

Moreover, there is also a mysterious saint.

When the Tongtian Sect Leader heard that Nuwa had agreed, his smile deepened.

"Junior sister, come here, let me introduce you. This is Dao Ancestor Guixuan..."

······

Kunlun Mountain.

When Gui Xuan and several other sages, including Tongtian Jiaozhu, were discussing matters on Jin'ao Island.

Inside Kunlun Mountain, the Supreme Sage and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable sat silently in the Jade Purity Palace.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke first, "Elder brother, who exactly is this newly appeared sage?"

"Such strength, why have I never heard of it in the primordial world?"

The fact that he could suppress two saints in the blink of an eye was a power that even they felt deeply afraid of.

Especially after they had been to the Western world and seen Jieyin and Zhunti being suppressed by two great mountains of law, they became even more silent.

The two mountains of laws were formed from the Heavenly Dao laws of the entire primordial world.

Even if they were saints, they could not break it!

The Supreme Sage's eyes gleamed, "Without roots or evidence, without trace or limit; cannot be found, cannot be found..."

To deduce the origins of a sage, or even to discover that their strength surpasses one's own.

Even the Supreme Sage dared not delve too deeply into the matter, lest it cause a backlash, at the very least resulting in damage to his Dao.

It might even create a karmic connection with the other party.

To form a karmic connection with a stranger, a saint—how could the Great Pure Saint possibly do such a thing?

Yuanshi Tianzun also understood the reason behind this.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't we go to Zixiao Palace to find our teacher? Perhaps he knows."

The Sage Taiqing's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed intently on the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. "Second Brother, you've gone too far!"

"Are you really going to drive your third brother to his death?!"

"Don't forget, Tongtian is our younger brother."

Yuanshi Tianzun's aura shifted, and he spoke, "Elder brother, this great calamity concerns my disciples."

"If they all make the list, what will become of my Chan Sect?"

"But have you ever thought about what will happen to your third brother if his Jie Sect is listed on the list?" the Taiqing Sage advised. "In doing this, why don't you persuade your disciples to cultivate more virtue and merit, instead of scheming against your third brother even more ruthlessly?"

"It's no wonder that the three of us brothers have ended up like this, making us a laughingstock."

Yuanshi Tianzun was unconvinced, thinking, "His disciples under Tongtian are unreliable, of inferior origin, and with shallow fortune."

"Why not give up on filling in the rankings and instead focus all your efforts on maintaining it!"

If he were willing to abandon his disciples, why would I do this!

The Sage Taiqing sighed, "Have you forgotten why Tongtian took in so many disciples?"

"This was the key to him breaking free from his shackles."

"You are forcing him to sacrifice his disciples, not to mention the feelings between the disciples."

"What if he is unable to break free of his shackles when the great calamity arrives?"

"By pressuring him like this, you are corrupting the Way of Heaven!"

If it were anyone else, they probably would have flipped the table long ago.

It is only because Tongtian values ​​loyalty and righteousness that he has repeatedly shown forbearance.

But Yuanshi Tianzun pressed on step by step, and now things have turned out this way.

Even the Supreme Sage Taiqing felt utterly helpless towards the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was still unconvinced, Taiqing Shengren said again, "You say that the Jie Sect are all people with shallow fortune, but why don't you go and take a look?"

"In just a few hundred thousand years, which of the few thousand disciples of his Jie Sect who are still alive today is not blessed with profound virtue and surrounded by merit?"

"In contrast, your disciples of the Chan Sect are all skilled at scheming, trying to find others to shield them from calamities; little do they know that they are already deeply mired in a great calamity from which they cannot escape."

Upon hearing the words of the Supreme Saint, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's aura began to become chaotic.

"Do you expect me to bow down to him, the Emperor?!"

"I can't do it!"
