Chapter 21: Scare You to Death

"How long has it been since the last one left, and here comes another!!"

Outside Pangu Hall, an old man with the bearing of an immortal stood before the door.

Taiqing Saint.

The eldest of the Three Pure Ones, the first disciple of Hongjun.

His strength is unfathomable.

Even now that Dijiang has mastered twelve laws, he still finds it somewhat difficult to see through the current Taiqing.

"Fellow Daoists, could it be that you do not welcome this old man?"

Taiqing Saint stood at the entrance for a while, but the door did not open.

He was not annoyed, but instead took the initiative to knock.

"How could we dare not to welcome you? We only fear failing to live up to the Saint's good intentions."

"We of the Wu Clan are already at a dead end; we wish to strive to catch up, but our hearts are willing while our strength is insufficient."

"We did not expect Yuanshi Saint to have such high expectations of us, and we have disappointed him."

"If Taiqing Saint has come here to hold us accountable, our Wu Clan is willing to compensate for all losses."

"."

Dijiang controlled the twelve Ancestral Witches, keeping their posture as low as possible.

Simply because.

The door of Pangu Hall opened, yet Taiqing Saint did not enter.

"I have already understood this matter; Yuanshi was indeed too impatient."

Taiqing Saint spoke, his voice like a gentle spring breeze.

At the same time, he flipped his hand, and countless pills poured down like a river.

They fell into Pangu Hall.

"Taiqing Saint, what is the meaning of this?"

Dijiang, hidden in the shadows, frowned.

"For these past twelve hundred years, I have been refining pills for you day and night, but I forgot to bring them to you."

Taiqing Saint flicked his Whisk.

Forgot?

I fear he just didn't want to let us off so easily.

Bringing them out now is surely the reason Yuanshi was angered into leaving.

The world bustles for profit, and the world hustles for profit.

Even a Saint cannot escape this.

"With so many, I wonder what Taiqing Saint requires?"

The twelve Ancestral Witches were truly shocked to see such a vast quantity of pills.

Given their Quasi-Saint mid-stage cultivation, this many pills would be enough for them to improve their laws by another ten or twenty percent.

For those with better talent like Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, reaching the Quasi-Sage Late Stage directly is not impossible.

This is the power of a Saint.

As long as they are willing to spend the time and pay the price, they can cultivate Quasi-Sage Late Stage powerhouses in the short term.

Of course.

Not just anyone is worth Taiqing Saint wasting his time like this.

"Fellow Daoists are being too formal; as Tongtian said, we are all one family."

"Then I shall not speak as if we are two separate houses."

"You are the Pangu Orthodox, and you ought to help the Great God Pangu in regulating the lifeblood of the Great Desolate Land."

Taiqing's words were measured, lacking the aggressive pressure of Yuanshi.

【Ding, Taiqing bestows pills.】

【Option One: Accept the pills, vie for hegemony in the Great Desolation, reward: twelve Purple Saint Pills.】

【Option Two: Refuse the pills, reward: one Fallen Saint Pill.】

【Option Three: Neither refuse nor take responsibility, hide in Mount Buzhou, reward: a complete set of cultivation experience for the Pangu Sage Realm.】

Purple Saint Pill.

That is a pill capable of helping a Quasi-Saint peak reach the Saint realm.

With this pill, Zhu Jiuyin could break through to become a Saint immediately.

And the reward is twelve of them!!! Wouldn't that mean each of the twelve Ancestral Witches could have one and break through to the Saint realm?

And the Fallen Saint Pill?

A Heavenly Dao Fierce Treasure.

It shares the same origin as the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin and the Six Soul Banner.

It is formed from the essence, Qi, and spirit of the Three Thousand Great Dao Heavenly Demons after their deaths.

There are three in total, and they can harm the Great Dao Primordial Spirit of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

(After the Conferring of the Gods battle, when Hongjun Old Ancestor was resolving the grievances of the Three Pure Ones, he tricked them into each taking one Fallen Saint Pill. Hongjun Old Ancestor only revealed the power of the Fallen Saint Pill after the Three Pure Ones had consumed them, forcing them to stop fighting among themselves.)

The toxicity of this pill is such that even the Three Pure Ones cannot resist it.

One can imagine just how terrifying its power is.

And the Pangu cultivation experience.

That is an even more extraordinary thing; never mind that it has no tangible benefit right now. But the current Dijiang is not lacking in various laws at all.

The only thing missing was that perfect walkthrough.

There was no need to even consider it.

"System, I choose three!"

Following Dijiang's choice, endless memories flooded into Dijiang's mind.

In an instant, the method for how to fuse the twelve laws into the Law of Force appeared in his mind.

Dijiang was overjoyed.

Without another word, he went straight into seclusion.

As long as he could condense the twelve laws and ninety percent of the Law of Force into one complete Law of Force.

Then he would be a Saint of the Law of Force!!! The foundation of his Saint Fruit would be completely solidified.

In the future, he would have a chance to attain the Force Great Dao.

That is the head of the Three Thousand Great Daos!! "We also have a question, and we ask the Saint to answer it."

And Dijiang, acting as an external incarnation, stood before the Taiqing Saint.

"Please, speak!!"

Taiqing smiled with a kind face.

"We are Pangu Orthodox, but so are you."

"Why have you been egging us on to contend for hegemony over the Great Desolate Land?"

As soon as Dijiang said this.

It left the Taiqing Saint stunned on the spot.

He had thought of thousands of questions in his mind, but he had never expected the Wu Clan to ask this.

Contending for hegemony over the Great Desolation, ruling the Great Desolation.

Isn't that what you, the Wu Clan, have always wanted to do but couldn't? But looking into the eyes of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Taiqing Saint naturally would not say that.

"Fellow Daoists, we are already Saints."

"Could it be that you want us to come out and continue competing with you for the Saint Fruit?"

"And since you yourselves are Pangu Orthodox, it is only right and proper for you to unify the Great Desolation."

"The merit gained at that time will definitely be able to help you seize the Saint Fruit."

"Could it be, Fellow Daoist, that you do not wish to become a Saint??"

A Saint!!

This is a temptation that no living being in the Great Desolation can resist.

"The logic holds, but you have never helped us before; isn't this help a bit too obvious now!!"

Dijiang naturally knew the reason; in fact, he just wanted to disgust Taiqing a little.

Tongtian was straightforward.

After knowing the Wu Clan's meaning, he stopped pestering them.

But what about Yuanshi? He was relentless.

In the end, he even became angry from embarrassment.

Now.

Dijiang also wanted to see to what extent this eldest of the Three Pure Ones would endure.

"There was no opportunity before, but isn't the opportunity here now?"

"Just as Tongtian said: Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves; we are all one family once we take root."

"We Three Pure Ones have already become Saints, and naturally, we hope that you of the Wu Clan can also become Saints."

The Taiqing Saint answered flawlessly.

If one were unaware of the situation, they would surely be moved to tears.

It is a pity that Dijiang had long known the true face of the Three Pure Ones.

They always wore a sanctimonious appearance.

Except for Tongtian.

Deep down, they didn't look down on the Wu Clan at all.

If it weren't for begging the Wu Clan to come out and face the tribulation, the Three Pure Ones would never have had any entanglement with the Wu Clan.

"If Pangu Father God knew this in heaven, he would be very gratified."

Since you want to be disgusting, fine.

Then I will disgust you to death.

Immediately.

Dijiang put on a look of being moved to tears.

"Cultivate well, and unify the Great Desolation as soon as possible; we Three Pure Ones will wait for you all at Zixiao Palace!!"

Taiqing considered himself to have a firm temperament.

But at this moment, he could barely hold it together.

Fortunately, the Wu Clan did eventually produce a Half-step Saint, so he wasn't exactly lying.
