Chapter 56: Plotting Against the Demonic Tribe

  Tongtian hastily came out to greet, after taking his seat, the leading immortal spoke first. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, the great war between witches and demons has brought calamity to all living things, evil fills the sky, and it seems that a great disaster is approaching, destined to turn into flying ashes, I wonder if you have any plans?"

  "Oh, what plans can I have? Let things be as they are."

  The corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a hint of a smile, thinking that Tongtian had just quarreled with Yuansheng, how could he not have any plans? You want to fool me, no way!

  "I'll get straight to the point. I've come for two reasons: one is about the dispute between witches and ghosts, and the other is about spreading the teachings."

  Tongtian had long understood that this guide was preparing to discuss the matter of the witch's calamity with himself, but he didn't expect that this guide would see so far ahead and actually saw the great event of the transmission after the witch, only to find out what specific plan the guide had.

  "Please speak clearly, fellow Taoist."

  "Alright, I'm willing to give the Eastern Emperor's Bell to fellow Taoist, for the purpose of suppressing and cutting off the evil sect's aura operation. The remaining cultivators of the demon tribe can also join the Cutting Sect, I will not compete with you at all. However, in the future when it comes to spreading the teachings in the Eastern Land, I hope Fellow Taoist Tongtian will make an exception."

  A few words from Jie Yin, and the master of the Intercept Sect was stunned. Tong Tian even doubted his own ears, wondering if he had heard wrong. Jie Yin actually wanted to give him the Dong Huang Bell, which would have solved a pressing problem. The Dong Huang Bell was originally the Hun Dun Bell, one of the Three Treasures of Heaven's Gate, and it was said to be more powerful than the Tai Ji Diagram and the Pan Gu Flag in suppressing the flow of energy. The root of the Intercept Sect's instability lay in its lack of a treasure to suppress this energy, which was Tong Tian's greatest concern. As for the Dong Huang Bell, Tong Tian had indeed thought about it before, but it was a treasure born alongside Tai Yi, and the heavenly numbers had already been set, making it difficult to seize.

  Tongtian had already sensed that Taiyi Emperor Jun was about to fall, and immediately thought of this treasure. However, Tongtian's heart was also extremely clear: he himself possessed the four Xiantian swords, holding the power of pre-heavenly slaughter, and was already feared by the other saints. Not to mention the two Western Saints, even his own two elder brothers were not at ease with him.

  The Chaos Bell is an absolute treasure that is extremely difficult to obtain, Tong Tian has long seen it clearly, so he has given up his thoughts, let alone the fact that he has already parted ways with the original Old Master.

  However, at this time, Jie Ying unexpectedly promised to hand over the treasure to himself, which made Tongtian extremely surprised and even temporarily unable to understand the relationship between them. He also couldn't guess what Jie Ying was planning.

  "Escort Brother Dao, I'm afraid that each of us has our own destiny, whether Tongtian can be obtained or not is still up to you."

  "Haha, the three of you should have obtained the Three Treasures of Pangu's descendant by right. It's not that you three saints are incompetent, but rather that there is a younger generation with the bloodline of Pangu who has achieved great virtue. What you're worried about is just your two older brothers. I, Zhunti, and the other saint are willing to take action. With our power as three saints, if we can't seize the Hunyuan Bell, it would be too embarrassing. Moreover, you still have the affection of the Three Purities on your side. I don't believe that your two older brothers will truly ruin your chances. As for Nüwa, she's even less to be concerned about."

  Tongtian couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, he saw it very clearly. Laozi originally wouldn't have allowed himself to grow bigger, but if there was an opportunity to take the initiative, the Chaos Bell would inevitably fall into his own hands. Tongtian quickly calculated in his heart, whether it was worth ruining the relationship between the Three Purities for the sake of this treasure.

  "Whatever, if I had the original True Intent of the Three Pure Ones, I wouldn't be stopped from getting the Chaotic Bell. If not even one magical artifact is given to me, then I won't care about the Three Pure Ones' intentions either." Tongtian made up his mind and turned around, looking at Jieyin with a profound gaze.

  "Brother Dao, you're being so polite, what's your plan?"

  "That's right, what I want to say is that after the witch calamity, in the vast wilderness, the Taoist teachings are spread. Your sect teaches that there is no distinction between good and evil, while my Buddhist door teaches universal salvation. Although the methods are different, the purpose is not necessarily the same. What I am seeking is an opportunity for all sects to preach fairly. I wonder how you, Tongtian Daoist friend, view this?" Tongtian lowered his head in contemplation for a moment.

  "I'll introduce you to my brother, but the matter of teaching is not something that I alone can decide. We also need to consider what our senior brother thinks. However, I support your idea, brother. When the time comes, we'll each use our own methods, fairly and justly, and have a proper showdown to see who's superior. I absolutely won't resort to underhanded tactics. If anyone doesn't follow the rules, they'll have to answer to my Qingping Sword."

  Tongtian gave a guarantee, and the introducer's heart was slightly delighted. The introducer didn't need Tongtian to give this guarantee; he just needed Tongtian to obtain the Hunyuan Bell. At that time, Sanqing would be difficult to deal with, and an even more formidable Tongtian would inevitably entangle Laozi and all of his primordial energy. Getting Tongtian to agree to transmit the Tao was merely a ruse to avoid arousing his suspicions.

  There were two peaches that killed three knights, this is called one treasure cutting off three purities.

  Jieyin and Tongtian discussed some details again, then stood up to bid farewell. "Fellow Taoist, make preparations early, I offer my congratulations in advance for the prosperity of your great teachings."

  "Borrowing the auspicious words of a friend." Tongtian sent off Jieyin, and his mind was also speculating about Jieyin's plans. However, Tongtian knew more clearly that no matter what conspiracy Jieyin had, he couldn't refuse the conditions set by Jieyin. With the foundation of Hunyuan Zhongjiao, he could stabilize himself. At that time, relying on the Xianjian Sword Array and Hunyuan Zhong, even if someone wanted to plot against him, he wouldn't have to be afraid.

  Each of the three Primal Ancestors had one, and as a member of the Three Pures, he also needed to obtain one; otherwise, relying solely on the Heavenly Sword Formation would be somewhat insufficient for self-preservation.

  Jie Yin drove the Xuan Gui back to Xu Mi Mountain. As soon as Zhun Ti saw Jie Yin's face, he knew that things had been accomplished and was extremely happy. Zhun Ti also understood the pressure of the Three Pures on the Western world. If they could be separated, no matter how great the cost, it would be worth it. However, Zhun Ti also had a hint of worry.

  "Big Brother, do you think this Tongtian will end in disaster? I'm a bit worried."

  "Gains and losses, who can weigh them clearly? However, I think that even if Tongtian's power surges, we have nothing to fear. My Dao of Cause and Effect is nearing completion, and your Dao of Destruction and Transformation is also progressing rapidly. Let alone individually, neither of us fears Tongtian; what's more, there are two of us. I think the ones who should be worried are Laozi and Yuanshi."

  "Yes, brother, after this great calamity, without the help of the demon tribe, Nüwa will probably be marginalized by the various saints. She'll just bear the name of Holy Mother in vain, occupying a few layers of aura, and won't have any great achievements. The key is our alliance with Tongtian Sect, and the original and Laozi's sects, it's a struggle between three factions and four teachings."

  "Brother is right, we still need to plan carefully, it's better to think more than less."

  While they were speaking, the pharmacist entered the great hall.

  "I report to Master and Master Shu, Hou Yi has come around. Please instruct on how to proceed."

  "Oh, never mind, bring him here, I have something to say to him." The medicine master knew that the introducer had intentionally accepted Hou Yi as a disciple, so he was not surprised and went out to call Hou Yi into the hall.

  Later, Hou Yi felt that he was almost beaten to death by Xihe and the moon osmanthus stick. After Emperor Jiang appeared, his mind relaxed a bit, and he fainted. When he came to, he found himself lying in a precious pool, the water making him feel warm and comfortable beyond words, as if he could stay like this forever.

  However, Hou Yi immediately woke up and wondered where he was.
