Primordial Era: I, the Creation Lotus, will absolutely not be struck this time!

Chapter 97 The Disciples of the Xuanmen with Their Own Thoughts

Yuanshi's expression was unpleasant, and he was just about to speak.

Lao Tzu suddenly took a step forward.

"Since it's the teacher's arrangement, then I'll have to trouble you, junior brother. I, Erqing, will definitely obey the teacher's orders."

After speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he had not understood the hidden meaning in Zhunti's words at all.

There was no intention to offer any benefits whatsoever; it was as if all of this was something you, Zhunti, were obligated to do.

This reaction surprised even Zhunti, who was already fond of asking for favors.

You have such a big face?

I'm going to help you become a saint in the future, and you just say "thank you, junior brother" and that's it?

Are you implying that I'm being pressured by Hongjun?

A dog that bites doesn't bark.

This Laozi is indeed an even more disgusting being than Yuanshi.

This was the first time Zhunti had met someone even more shameless than himself.

In truth, I really had no other choice.

He was so poor he was urinating blood, and the two magical treasures he had that he could afford were both high-grade items, which he would never give to Zhunti.

He couldn't bear to part with the spiritual root. When he finally found a training ground, he couldn't possibly leave it without planting a single spiritual root, could he?

Besides, Zhunti is greedy; who knows, he might want more after he takes out his spiritual root.

More importantly, Lao Tzu believed this was Hongjun's order.

So don't even think about taking advantage of me, Zhunti.

Yuanshi was also stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

"Since it is the teacher's order, my elder brother and I will naturally obey."

Yuanshi reverted to his arrogant demeanor.

Are you Zhunti the number one saint of the Xuanmen sect?

This really upset me, but you can't take the treasure from me.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi looked at Laozi with great joy.

Over the years, he has taken in a total of twelve disciples, from whom he has amassed a great deal of valuable possessions.

I almost took all these things that I had worked so hard to collect.

Fortunately, his elder brother reminded him.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhunti chuckled dryly twice.

"Haha, if you two senior brothers need anything, I, your junior brother, will certainly help."

"Junior brother has other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Before Laozi and Yuanshi could react, Zhunti grabbed Jieyin and left.

"Pah!"

Once they could no longer see each other, they both spat out saliva at the same time.

"What kind of thing is this, daring to threaten me, Erqing, and even trying to gain benefits from me? It's utterly absurd."

""

Yuanshi cursed angrily with a face full of disdain, then his expression darkened.

"Brother, what do you think? Is it really possible that Zhunti will become a saint before us?"

This is what Yuanshi couldn't stand the most.

His arrogance wouldn't allow anyone to be ahead of him.

A glint of light flashed in Lao Tzu's eyes.

"If the teacher said it, then it must be true."

However, there was one thing he didn't say aloud.

Did Hongjun not miss anything? Not necessarily.

Over such a long period of time, anyone who isn't a fool will realize that Hongjun isn't as unfathomable as they imagined.

It was the unknown presence within Mount Buzhou that terrified him even more.

However, he dared not say it aloud, and he had already boarded the ship.

Yuanshi, failing to grasp the implied meaning in Laozi's words, said with a grim expression, "No, elder brother, I'm not convinced. Let's find another way to make contact with the human race, shall we? I truly feel that our path forward lies with the human race."

Lao Tzu frowned slightly.

Why does this Primordial One like to court death so much?

The Holy Mother Nuwa herself is guarding this place, do you still dare to go?

Sure enough, Yuanshi was the only fool in the entire prehistoric world.

They believe in Hongjun because he is powerful, and they believe in the Heavenly Dao because it is above them. They look down on everyone else because of their own background and have no independent thoughts.

Lao Tzu shook his head.

"Go ahead, I'm going to travel around."

Lao Tzu dared not stay with Yuan Shi any longer.

Since we can't contact the human race for the time being, let's wait and see, and keep an eye on Zhunti's news.

At this stage, keeping an eye on Zhunti is more reliable than keeping an eye on the human race.

On the other side, Zhunti also had a fierce look on his face.

"What Erqing? They claim to be transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu? I think they're all ungrateful bastards!"

"If I become a saint, it would be good enough if I didn't cause them any trouble."

Zhunti didn't dare say the second half of the sentence aloud; he just kept it to himself.

Hongjun had just reprimanded him.

The guide nodded in agreement.

"The Three Pure Ones had extremely high origins back then, and were treated with great respect wherever they went in the prehistoric world."

"It's a pity that it's turned out like this now."

Zhunti sneered, "Of course, Tongtian is the smartest of the three."

As he spoke, jealousy and greed flashed in Zhunti's eyes, along with a hint of lingering fear.

The change in Tongtian was the addition of Buzhou Mountain.

He dared not plot against Tongtian and Nuwa again.

He only regretted that he hadn't been willing to go to Buzhou Mountain for a few spiritual roots, thus missing the path to becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.

"Zhunti, where do we go next?"

He guided the questioner.

Zhunti thought for a moment, and logically, if the opportunity arose, he would feel something in his heart.

Surprisingly, he doesn't feel that way at all now.

He even doubted whether he had any opportunity at all.

"Although Hongjun is not a good person, he would never lie to me about this, especially since he needs me to become a saint first to help Laozi and Yuanshi."

"Brother, let's just wander around the prehistoric world. Traveling around will do me good."

Having exhausted all other options, Zhunti decided to freely roam the prehistoric world.

Those opportunities will surely come to you on their own or be delivered to you by Hongjun.

Otherwise, if he doesn't become a saint, what will happen to Laozi and Yuanshi?

time flies.

Shouyang Mountain.

The human population surged again, tribes multiplied, and many humans even lived near the edge of the area designated by Nuwa.

Within a radius of a hundred miles around Shouyang Mountain, one can definitely find a human tribe.

For the primordial world, a distance of a hundred miles is but a single step.

Each tribe is like a rivet, nailed to this ancestral mountain of humankind.

Between the rivets, there are human beings who walk like ants, like bonds that connect tribes together.

In this way, the human race seemed to become a light veil on Shouyang Mountain.

This development is possible because many years ago a divine being descended to earth and taught many wise men to humankind.

Wise men who had mastered their studies spread their sacred wisdom throughout the many tribes of the human race.

For humanity to develop, it must expand outwards and make good use of its surrounding environment.

This is why Shouyang Mountain presents such a magnificent scene today.

Near the edge of the area, there is a small tribe with only about a dozen stone houses.

The tribe has fewer than two hundred people.

Although human tribes are closely connected, in this remote area, it is inevitably more difficult to communicate with other tribes.

However, the people in this tribe didn't seem to think so; they were all busy smashing and transporting stones, working with great enthusiasm.

"Let's all work harder, we must make sure everyone lives in a stone house, just like the legendary large tribe."

A young man encouraged everyone.

Stone houses are difficult to build, and most of them are used to store grain or as important places such as temples.

People can only live in thatched huts or caves, but this tribe seems to require everyone to live in stone houses.

An old man arrived at the tribe on this day.
