Chapter 292

Guang Chengzi looked at Cihang Daoist, Jin Zha, and He Tong, nodding with a smile: "Now, the four of us attacking together, even if the Sect of the Cut and Western Teaching intervene, the advantage remains with our Chan Teaching side!"

Guang Chengzi has considerable confidence in this.

Moreover, not only does Guang Chengzi believe this, but the others also feel that this undertaking will be flawless.

Furthermore, Guang Chengzi still holds a trump card in his hand—how could they lose?

After the Twelve Golden Immortals Assembly ended, the immortals dispersed, and Guang Chengzi, under Jin Zha's lead, went to the front line where the rebel army and the Yin Shang army confront each other.

……

Heaven Beyond Heaven, a chaotic land before the opening of heaven and earth.

Two primordial spirits, each towering ten thousand zhang, stand opposed.

Because the auras of the two primordial spirits have erupted, this chaotic land has already been shattered to pieces.

"Tongtian, you would not hesitate to expend your origin just to drag me here—what do you intend?"

A cold, icy Yuanshi Tianzun gazed at the Tongtian Sect Leader, whose aura trembled throughout his body, his eyes carrying a hint of contempt.

Not long ago, Yuanshi Tianzun's primordial spirit was suddenly pulled by the Tongtian Sect Leader into the chaotic land of Heaven Beyond Heaven.

After only a few years of combat, Tongtian already shows signs of exhaustion.

"Everyone says you, Tongtian, teach without discrimination and have the magnificent sight of myriad immortals paying homage, but upon seeing you today I find that your cultivation over these years has been completely wasted."

Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Step aside, you are not my opponent!"

As he spoke, countless stars were born and annihilated around Yuanshi Tianzun as if time and space were entirely under his control—saintly methods are truly terrifying!

Facing all this, the Tongtian Sect Leader wields the Azure Duckweed Sword, himself transforming into a sword, his fierce sword qi crisscrossing boundless time and space, as if to cleave Yuanshi Tianzun's aura.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader has ample ferocity but insufficient foundation.

The Tongtian Sect Leader himself is fully aware of this.

After all, in order to seize a thread of heavenly secret for the Sect of the Cut, he has expended several huiyuan of cultivation, his vital energy already greatly damaged.

And the final calculation shows that as long as he can hold back this senior brother of his, the lineage of his Sect of the Cut will not be completely erased.

Therefore, even though he is not a match for Yuanshi Tianzun, the Tongtian Sect Leader must still detain him.

Their battle has almost shattered the entire chaotic land.

However, all this has already been sealed by a formation set up in advance by the Tongtian Sect Leader, with not a trace of aura leaking.

Clearly, this time the Tongtian Sect Leader can be said to be fighting with his life.

Meanwhile, watching the Tongtian Sect Leader continually urging his primordial spirit's power, Yuanshi Tianzun cannot help but frown slightly.

With a thought, Yuanshi Tianzun seems to be preparing to calculate something.

But soon he discovers that a formation linked to the calamity's qi has completely blocked his calculation.

"Tongtian, what exactly are you scheming?"

Looking at the Tongtian Sect Leader full of youthful vigor, what Yuanshi Tianzun dislikes most about him is this.

Compared to the steady, mature Taiqing Senior Brother and himself, who strategizes, Tongtian's actions are overly impulsive.

Things like "teach without discrimination" and "myriad immortals paying homage" seem utterly absurd to Yuanshi Tianzun, completely contrary to his doctrine; this is also the main cause of his conflict with the Tongtian Sect Leader.

In short, in Yuanshi Tianzun's view, the Tongtian Sect Leader's Sect of the Cut is fundamentally mistaken and has no reason to exist.

"Tongtian, no matter what you are scheming, after this calamity my Chan Teaching will surely flourish, while your Sect of the Cut will surely be utterly eradicated!"

Thinking thus, he sees Yuanshi Tianzun point a finger, and star after star falls like chess pieces around the Tongtian Sect Leader, forming a vast star chessboard.

Looking down from above at the Tongtian Sect Leader fallen into the chessboard, Yuanshi Tianzun says: "Tongtian, as your elder brother today I will properly instruct you—how should the saint's way be cultivated?"

Within the star chessboard, the Tongtian Sect Leader remains silent.

And in his eyes, a heavenly secret suddenly appears above Yuanshi Tianzun's head.

"That thread of heavenly secret has finally appeared!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader tightens his grip on the Azure Duckweed Sword, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

……

"Jieyin Senior Brother, Manjusri has fallen!"

In the Western Paradise, Zhunti Daoist, seated beneath a bodhi tree, suddenly opens his eyes.

At the same time, rosy light sweeps across, and Jieyin Daoist, seated upon the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus, slowly rises.

"I already know of this!"

Jieyin Daoist said.

"Senior Brother!"

Zhunti Daoist said: "Have you noticed? It seems someone is deliberately targeting our Western Teaching."

"Indeed!"

Jieyin Daoist pondered, then said: "Our Western Teaching has made several plans, but each time someone has interfered and sabotaged them."

"Then, what should we do now?"

Zhunti Daoist said: "Do we need to activate those hidden agents we have set in place?"

"There's no rush!"

Jieyin Daoist shook their head and said: "This time, our Western Teaching must enter at a suitable moment, so as not to become too deeply entangled in the catastrophe; otherwise, if affected by the catastrophe, it could hinder our Western Teaching's grand rise."

"But are we just going to watch helplessly as that hidden person repeatedly sabotages our plans?"

Zhunti Daoist said coldly.

"Zhunti, junior brother, no need to be so angry."

Jieyin Daoist said calmly: "That hidden figure has yet to reveal themselves, which shows their strength is insufficient; why should we worry?"

"In this catastrophe, our ultimate goal remains that one from the Great Pure; as long as we can finally drag that person completely into the mire, our Western Teaching will be able to seize a vast amount of the divine land's qi fortune; everything else is merely peripheral and insignificant."

Jieyin Daoist's tone carried a hint of strategic planning, as if everything was within their grasp.

However, this is also not surprising.

Six saints, oh, right, now it should be seven; his Western Teaching now occupies three.

Although Puti Laozi nominally does not manage affairs, but when it comes to the prosperity and decline of the Western Teaching, Puti Laozi cannot remain uninvolved.

The remaining four saints, the Nuwa Saint is truly a shut-in.

Among the Three Pure Ones, the Taiqing Saint looms high above the highest heaven, and his disciples are few, so he cannot influence the overall situation.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Leader, this time they are too deeply involved in the calamity; their Western Teaching only needs to wait for the opportunity to intervene, and they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Regarding this, whether it is the Jieyin Daoist or the Zhunti Daoist, they both firmly believe.

However, when a true old six appears, will their plans go so smoothly?
