Chapter 68: The Scepter of Opening Heaven

Only after this battle did they suddenly wake up to the truth.

It turned out that this merit was not given by the Heavenly Dao, but by the Great Desolate World itself.

And the Heavenly Dao was merely playing the role of a middleman in all of this.

As they were now, they were just small merchants under the Heavenly Dao, the middleman.

To obtain merit from the Great Desolate World, one had to assist the Heavenly Dao.

Only when it grew stronger would the interests of these merchants under its banner be maximized.

And the reason they knew all this was entirely due to the appearance of the Earthly Dao.

In the past.

The Heavenly Dao was a monopoly merchant.

As for affairs between heaven and earth, they could only observe them through the Heavenly Dao Scepter.

Or fathom them through their own insights.

But they were, after all, Heavenly Dao Saints, constrained by the Heavenly Dao.

The things they could observe were truly limited.

So they had been kept in the dark all along.

Now, the appearance of the Earthly Dao.

Had broadened their horizons somewhat.

Of course.

There were both advantages and disadvantages to this.

The advantage was that countless thoughts had emerged within their hearts.

Especially since Hongjun could summon them at will without their consent.

This had confirmed that they were nothing more than puppet Saints.

And the reason they were able to become Saints was, naturally, because they were the top-tier existences within the Great Desolate World.

How could they be willing to submit?

Especially the Three Pure Ones.

They felt this most deeply.

As the Pangu Orthodox.

Now that the Wu Clan remained beyond their control, while they appeared to have attained sainthood, they had invisibly placed a shackle upon themselves.

The disadvantage was that Hongjun was even more guarded against them.

He had even rapidly restricted their access to the Heavenly Dao Scepter.

As Heavenly Dao Saints, they were only as strong as the Heavenly Dao was.

But with Hongjun restricting the scepter, if there were no surprises, their strength would be limited to that of their Saint realm.

As for the blessing of the Heavenly Dao? That required Hongjun's consent.

The Western Two Saints understood this situation better than anyone.

Simply because they had already experienced it once within Pangu Hall.

Now, being constrained by Hongjun again, they realized that after cultivating for so many years.

Compared to other Quasi-Saints.

It was nothing more than merging the Three Corpses into one and refining the power of laws into a single strand.

If things continued this way, their future would be just that.

But one must know, it was not like this when they first obtained the Heavenly Dao Scepter.

Take the Western Two Saints, for example.

With the permission of the Heavenly Dao Scepter, they could use at least ten or more strands of law power.

This was also the reason they had always cultivated around the Heavenly Dao.

Simply because the closer one was to the Heavenly Dao, the more Heavenly Dao Scepter power one obtained.

The scepter represented power.

Which was to say, the laws.

Legend has it.

The Heavenly Dao is a complete Great Dao.

Wherever there is a Great Dao, there must exist three thousand laws.

And the goal of the Saints at the beginning was to completely obtain the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.

To merge three thousand laws and then break through the Great Dao.

This was the path Hongjun was currently walking.

Of course.

They could not seize Hongjun's current status, but they could reach the Harmony Realm through the Heavenly Dao Scepter.

It was a pity that when the Earthly Dao appeared and they learned this news, they were filled with rage.

Now, the Six Sages were gathered in Zixiao Palace.

Naturally, it was not because they were willing to come, but because Hongjun was summoning them.

"All the Saints have already been to the Wu Clan; Nuwa, you should also make a trip."

"You must bring them all out before the Fierce Beasts are dealt with."

Hongjun did not appear.

At this moment, he was also beset by troublesome matters.

Because of the appearance of the Earthly Dao, as well as the attacks from the outer realms.

He was forced to devote his entire being to it.

Who else but him currently occupies the greatest authority within the Opening Heaven Great Dao throughout the entire Great Desolation.

If he wishes to obtain the Opening Heaven Great Dao, he must fuse the Heavenly, Earthly, and Humanity Three Paths. The prerequisite for this is that the Great Desolation remains peaceful and undisturbed.

Otherwise.

Before Humanity could even emerge, the Great Desolation would have already exploded.

That Opening Heaven Great Dao would naturally vanish without a trace.

This is also one of the methods left behind by the Great God Pangu.

It is to prevent other unforeseen changes.

Anyone who wishes to obtain the Opening Heaven Great Dao must act according to his arrangements.

This is an open conspiracy.

Bright and vast.

"Yes!!"

Although Nuwa was unwilling to accept this errand.

Yet at this moment, Hongjun did not consult with them as he usually did.

Instead, he gave a direct order.

Although Nuwa felt great resentment toward this, she had to bow her head while under another's roof.

Besides.

Currently, in the Great Desolation Demon Court, Fuxi is still the one in charge.

Although this merit has diminished significantly due to the appearance of the Earthly Dao, if she continues to persist, she can still complete her goal.

As for the Wu Clan!!!

They are nothing more than a bunch of cowards.

She glanced at the Western Two Saints, not understanding why they had not brought the Wu Clan out in the beginning.

The Three Pure Ones are another matter.

One cannot use force in this regard.

Those who understand, understand.

Although there is a difference between the Primordial Spirit and the essence blood, in terms of their origin, the Wu Clan and the Three Pure Ones do indeed belong to one family.

Before the Three Pure Ones became saints, the two sides had never erupted into conflict.

Although both sides looked down upon each other, it cannot be denied that.

Once it involves the issue of the Pangu Orthodox, they will stand together without hesitation.

But what about the Western Region? It has nothing to do with the Pangu Orthodox, and one does not know what kind of ghost Zhunti is playing at.

Perhaps it is because of the Dragon Han Three Ancestors, or perhaps it is because of the Three Thousand Ferocious Beasts.

How could Nuwa's thoughts as she looked at the Western Two Saints be hidden from these two old dogs?

However, at this moment, they were observing their noses, their noses observing their hearts, their minds unified.

One could not see at all the appearance of having suffered a great loss at Pangu Hall back then.

Instead, they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

Nuwa, your retribution is coming soon.

Zhunti and Jieyin had even already decided in their eye contact how to collect the power of the current Demon Court.

Luo Hou fell into Hell, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation were rebuilt within the Earthly Dao.

Now, the Western Region is still a ruin.

They can return at any time.

And they must return.

After all, it is the place where they became saints, and they also swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.

Although the Heavenly Dao has not come for them yet, that is because of the appearance of the Earthly Dao.

But the debts owed must be repaid sooner or later.

And this opportunity.

Is right before their eyes!!!

As long as Nuwa is trapped in Pangu Hall, they will take the entire Demon Court into the Western Buddhist Kingdom.

At that time.

The Western Region will flourish greatly.

Although the struggle between immortals and demons has now reappeared.

Yet Zhunti and Jieyin are not fools.

The damage caused back then has still not recovered to this day.

The two Dao Lords remained aloof, but they became the scapegoats.

Therefore, the Demon Court became one of the resources for them to repay their debts.

What Nuwa did not know was.

That her single glance had already buried the seeds of disaster for the Demon Court.

And Dijiang, who was actively cultivating inside Pangu Hall.

Suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hongjun, oh Hongjun, you still refuse to give up your wicked intentions."

"Why must you insist on causing trouble for my Wu Clan?"

"Can you not just go toe-to-toe with the Earthly Dao and deal with the Beast Calamity?"

Dijiang's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Everything he had done was merely to make Hongjun shift his target.

Yet, he insisted on acting as if he were knowingly walking into a tiger's den.
