Chapter 306: Puti's Expectation

"Senior Brother, what do you think of this?"

"In the Western Ultimate Bliss World, Zhunti Dao Ren looked at Jie Yin Dao Ren and asked:"

"You mean the Protector of the Teaching Dharma King sent by Xuputi?"

"Jie Yin Dao Ren asked."

"Not bad!"

"Zhunti Dao Ren frowned and said: 'I always feel something is off about this. Xuputi has never really managed sect affairs, and recently he even opened the mountain gates and widely recruited disciples, yet now he has sent a Protector of the Teaching Dharma King. What exactly does he intend? I find it hard to see through.'"

"Qi Luck!"

"Jie Yin Dao Ren suddenly uttered two words."

"Huh? Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

"Zhunti Dao Ren's face flashed with a strange hue."

"Jie Yin Dao Ren said calmly: 'Although Xuputi independently opened the mountain gate, at the root, his foundation still lies in our Western Teaching. Although he has now entered the Sacred Realm, his foundation is unstable and still needs our Teaching's Qi Luck to suppress the Great Dao's foundation. However, this person fears being suppressed by us, which is why he sent that Wen Dao Ren, intending to use this person to divert a portion of our Teaching's Qi Luck.'"

"He has gall!"

"Zhunti Dao Ren angrily said: 'Senior Brother, why not let me go and perform a salvation rite on that Wen Dao Ren?'"

"No!"

"Jie Yin Dao Ren shook his head and said: 'Don't you see that Wen Dao Ren carries a large amount of our Teaching's Qi Luck? I fear Xuputi has set up many schemes on this female; we are not suited to act rashly on her.'"

"Then, just leave it be?"

"Zhunti Dao Ren said somewhat unwillingly."

"No!"

"Jie Yin Dao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and said: 'Don't you forget that Wen Dao Ren killed Guang Chengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Teaching? We can conveniently use this female to interfere with the Chan Teaching's arrangements; thus, whether she succeeds or fails, we can both reap the benefits like a fisherman.'"

"Senior Brother, do you mean to delegate authority to her?"

"Zhunti Dao Ren said."

"Hmm."

"Jie Yin Dao Ren nodded and said: 'The Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions we are currently planning, among which the Asura Clan, the timing has matured; let them participate in this operation, and also see how capable our junior brother Xuputi is.'"

"This is a probe against Puti Laozi, after all, the other party is a sage who emerged from the Western Teaching; neither Jie Yin Dao Ren nor Zhunti Dao Ren would feel at ease about him."

"This probe can also be seen as a signal, based on which we will decide our future attitude toward those Third Sages of the Western Teaching."

"……"

"My two senior brothers probably still think that Wen Dao Ren is a scheme I set up, right?"

"Sipping coffee personally brewed by the Third Imperial Princess, Puti Laozi pondered and said: 'Guan Yuan, what kind of person do you think the fathers of my disciples are?'"

"Dangerous!"

"The Third Imperial Princess, that is, Guan Yuan uttered two words."

"Heh heh, that's spot on!"

"Puti Laozi narrowed his eyes and said: 'Indeed, this child is too dangerous; this time, even I have been dragged into trouble by him. My two senior brothers will likely keep an eye on me for a while.'"

"Old Ancestor, what are you planning to do?"

"The Third Imperial Princess asked cautiously."

"In her view, such scheming is an irreconcilable grudge; if it were her, she would certainly seek revenge."

"Do nothing!"

"Puti Laozi shook his head and said: 'Leaving aside that I can't do anything about him, in fact I also look forward to seeing how far he can go. As the saying goes, the few sages of today have vision too shallow; even that Heavenly Dao Sage only has his own petty thoughts, and has not considered at all the crisis of our world!'"

"Upon hearing this, the Third Imperial Princess nodded in deep agreement."

"Indeed, this world is extremely dangerous."

"After all, a high-level civilization whose civilizational will has died is, to other powerful civilizations, just a piece of meat."

"Fortunately, when we first discovered them, they were merely a third-level peak Singer Civilization."

"They were suppressed by those whose highest strength was only at the Quasi-Sage level."

"If it were a higher-level civilization that arrived, we would likely have to dispatch sages to resolve it."

"Even if it were a high-level civilization whose civilizational will remains intact, even sages might be unable to resolve it."

"You should know that the current strongest Hongjun Laozi is merely one of the original Three Thousand Demon Gods."

"Back then, Pangu slew the Three Thousand Demon Gods, seized their Dao origins, thereby breaking chaos, creating this world, and becoming its civilizational will."

"Such strength is far beyond what the present Hongjun Laozi can attain."

"Nowadays, Pangu is dead, but he left behind this world, which can be called the most precious heritage."

"Currently, Hongjun Laozi has always wanted to inherit all of Pangu's legacies and become the new civilizational will."

"The original six sages were Hongjun Laozi's efforts to seize the inheritance."

"Unfortunately, despite all this, the present Hongjun Laozi has obtained only a tiny fraction of Heavenly Dao authority, still far from fully mastering the Heavenly Dao."

"At this moment, if a seventh-level, or even higher, civilization were to appear, even Hongjun Laozi would likely be unable to resist."

"By then, the entire world will be plundered, and all its living beings will either be destroyed or enslaved by other powerful civilizations."

"Such a thing is absolutely not what Puti Laozi wishes to see."

"This is also why Puti Laozi opened the mountain gates widely to educate all spirits."

"It is also for this reason that Puti Laozi tolerates Ao Yifan's actions, and even this time takes the initiative to act against Yuanshi Tianzun."

"Precisely because Puti Laozi sees a glimmer of hope in Ao Yifan—a hope to surpass Hongjun Laozi and revive this dead world with renewed vitality!"

"Alright, I should also go check on the children's cultivation progress!"

"Standing up, Puti Laozi immediately headed toward the great classroom."

"That is, it is the special environment he created by merging the Singer Civilization's educational system with his own Teaching Dao."

In the lecture hall, each disciple can be matched with the most suitable study content according to their own conditions.

After all, Puti Laozi clearly knows that what he does is merely education, not cultivating identical disciples.

……

"The Heavenly Dao has changed; the Asura clan will face great calamity. Xuandu, go to the Netherworld Blood Sea and bring back the Asura clan's Rakshasa princess!"

In the Supreme Purity Realm, the Supreme Purity Virtuous Heavenly Honored One suddenly spoke, and the sound entered the ears of the Xuandu Grand Dharma Master cultivating in Xuandu City.

"Yes, Master!"

The Xuandu Grand Dharma Master asked no more, rose, performed a salute, and instantly turned into a streak of light that vanished at the spot.

And after the Xuandu Grand Dharma Master left, the Supreme Purity Virtuous Heavenly Honored One slowly raised his head and gazed toward the chaotic realm beyond the heavens.

"Yuanshi, Tongtian, when will you awaken? This world will face an unprecedented great change!"
