Boom!

It seemed that upon detecting the slaying of the Curse Demon God by the Tongtian Sect Master, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment instantly dissipated, replaced by a Merit Golden Cloud spanning a thousand acres.

As the final blow was delivered by the Tongtian Sect Master, he claimed a full seventy percent, and the Yuanshi Tianzun, who assisted on the side, also received about thirty percent of the merit.

Countless powerhouses cast envious glances.

Zhunti Daoist couldn’t help frowning and said, "The remnants of a Chaos Demon God? How could such good fortune fall into the hands of both Yuanshi and Tongtian?"

Jieyin Daoist’s expression turned even grimmer: "Ever since The Three Pure Ones parted ways, I thought that the relationship between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master would greatly deteriorate. But to my surprise, the two actually joined forces to deal with the remnant soul of the Demon God! The relationship amongst The Three Pure Ones is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface."

If The Three Pure Ones were united, it would be a pipe dream for the Western Sect to spread its teachings to the East.

This, both Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist were well aware.

"Yes, indeed!"

Zhunti Daoist sighed, "The matter of Reincarnation is of great benefit to our Western Sect, but I didn’t expect Tongtian and Yuanshi to act so swiftly!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"A Saint incarnating personally in the Underworld, our involvement would be extremely difficult to achieve!"

In fact, after the opening of Reincarnation, Zhunti had his sights set on the World of Darkness, but before he could take action, the Jie Sect had already taken residence in the Underworld.

Later, Taiyi True Master from the Chan Sect also sent an incarnation into the Underworld.

Now, the gateway to the World of Darkness was controlled by the Jie Sect, and anyone wishing to enter or leave had to depend on the whims of both the Tongtian Sect Master and Xuanqing.

The Saints could oversee the Three Realms and Six Paths of Reincarnation with just a glance, and except for some special places, the situation in the Underworld was under their watchful eyes.

"The nine young Golden Crows have now transformed into the Netherworld Sun, hanging high in the vault of heaven of the World of Darkness!" pondered Zhunti Daoist, "Shall we exploit this situation?"

Jieyin Daoist shook his head, "Emperor Jun is no fool, such a plan can only be done once, not twice! In fact, he probably already suspects us for the incident of the ten young Golden Crows leaving Tang Valley!"

"The East is now a land of controversies; the Witch Demon calamity has evolved into an incredibly fearsome force. We should temporarily refrain from interfering!"

"However, the Blood Sea could be a new opportunity, as it also has a gateway to the World of Darkness!"

"The Asuras under Minghe’s command also possess remarkable combat power, and if we could convert them into protectors, it would greatly strengthen the foundation of our Western Sect!"

It is always easier to pick on the soft ones.

Compared to the East guarded by The Three Pure Ones, the Underworld under Houtu’s rule, and the Demon Clan with the ’Celestial Stars Battle Formation’, Minghe Ancestor was easier to bully.

Although he possessed countless Blood God’s Sons and was known as "the Blood Sea never dries, Minghe never dies," compared to Saints, there is still an unsurmountable chasm.

"My brother speaks wisely!"

Zhunti Daoist immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Within the Primordial World, there were only a few beings they regarded highly. The Qilin clan had pledged allegiance to Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Phoenix clan had long aligned with Nuwa. Now the Dragon Clan, having lost the "Dragon Transformation Pond," was also gravitating towards the Jie Sect... The most suitable targets for their schemes were now the Minghe Ancestor and the Asura clan!

Without the revitalization of the Western Sect, they would never be able to repay their debts of Heavenly Dao Merit, and their Cultivation could only remain at the initial stage of becoming Saints.

You must know, cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you do not advance, you regress. If they can’t repay the Heavenly Dao Merit in time, they could only forever chase after the backs of The Three Pure Ones.

Naturally, they were unwilling!

Therefore, they resorted to any means necessary, trying every possible way to strengthen the Western Sect.

...

On the other side, after annihilating the remnant soul of the Curse Demon God, Tongtian Sect Master and Yuanshi Tianzun tore through the void and directly returned to the World of Darkness.

At this moment, Ying Gou has already been reincarnated!

Tongtian Sect Master then discussed with Yuanshi Tianzun, "Although the Curse Demon God has perished, its consciousness must still be clinging to the bodies of the other three Corpse Ancestors. Like a centipede that doesn’t fall after being cut, it remains a hidden danger to the Primordial World! Why not let the disciples from our sects unite to eradicate the Jiang Clan?"

"It would also serve as a trial for them!"

The spiritual powers of the Curse Demon God were indeed too bizarre. Even after annihilating its residual soul, Tongtian Sect Master couldn’t guarantee that it wouldn’t resurrect once again.

After all, even a Daluo Golden Immortal may return from the endless spacetime after falling.

What more could be said of the Chaos Demon Gods, whose immense strength is on par with the Saints?

"Good!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, then added, "In that case, let’s also call upon our eldest brother! Even though he only has Xuan Dou as a disciple, if we’re to speak of competition among the Three Sects, how can we do so without the Human Sect?"

Just now, he had actually followed the causal threads in the shadows to locate the remaining three Corpse Ancestors, but as a Saint, he felt it improper to oppress the weak.

Thus, he did not make a direct move.

"I shall contact our eldest brother right away!"

Tongtian Sect Master immediately agreed and then turned to Houtu, saying, "The beings of the Jiang Clan have fallen into an unwarranted disaster. Once my disciples have slain them, I hope you, as a friend, can send them into reincarnation, allowing them to become normal beings!"

"Of course!"

Houtu promptly consented.

In the Primordial World, the vast majority of beings are within the cycle of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but the Jiang Clan is an exception, and she also saw this as an opportunity to resolve this hidden threat.

Several days later, the true form of Tongtian Sect Master along with Daoist Duobao, Jin Ling, Xuanqing, and Wudang, his direct disciples, as well as Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming, the two elite external disciples, descended directly outside a small world.

Soon after, Yuanshi Tianzun also arrived with his elevated disciples — Nanji Daoist, Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Taiyi True Master, and Ci Hang Daoist, all of whom had ascended to Daluo.

The final arrival was Taiching Laozi, with Xuan Dou leading the way for him.

All the participants were Daluo elites from the Three Sects!

Disciples below the level of Daluo Golden Immortal weren’t strong enough to partake in this trial.

Xuanqing greeted everyone with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, it’s been a long time!"

Everybody hurried to return the greeting.

Xuanqing was well aware that the purpose of this trial was for Tongtian Sect Master to facilitate an exchange among the disciples of the Three Sects, so as to avoid estrangement due to the division of The Three Pure Ones.

Therefore, everyone took the initiative to greet each other!

Even Guang Chengzi, who typically liked to carry a stern face, took the initiative to exchange pleasantries!

Of course, this was also a competition of the Great Dao between the two Saints, to see whose taught disciples were stronger, whether it was the elite education of the Chan Sect or the Jie Sect’s approach of teaching without discrimination that would prevail?

"This sort of competition is much better than fighting to the death during a future tribulation!" Xuanqing thought to himself, "I just hope it can have some effect!"

This time, including himself, the Jie Sect had six Daluo joining in, the Chan Sect had five Daluo, while the Human Sect need not be mentioned, as Great Master Yu Ding was the only disciple.

The three Saints divided them into three groups, with Daoist Duobao, Nanji Daoist, and Yu Ding taking charge, respectively, then they set off to besiege the three remaining Corpse Ancestors, Jiang Chen included.

Regrettably, the biases among the Three Sects still existed; both disciples from the Chan Sect and Jie Sect preferred to cooperate with their own sect members.

In the end, it was Xuanqing who took the initiative to team up with Jin Ling Saint Mother, joining forces with Xuan Dou, while on the Chan Sect side, it was Guang Chengzi, the Striking Bell Golden Immortal, who joined Yu Ding’s group.

Obviously, this was deliberately arranged by Yuanshi Tianzun.

Among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he valued Guang Chengzi the most, but since Guang Chengzi was too arrogant, the intent was to take this opportunity to teach him that there are always those who are stronger – that beyond the skies, there are yet other skies!
