Chapter 543

Fengxi

Virtuous Heavenly Venerable

Yuanshi Tianzun

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable

Di Jiang Zu Wu

Houtu

Pangu

Taiyi

The witch and demon factions—any side that wanted to destroy them would have to expend some effort and strength… that would be enough.

Because, nobody would run a loss-making business, spending resources to target a few leaders of this era who have already announced their withdrawal and are unable to contend for the Pangu Dao Fruit—they pose no threat.

Fuxi

Xihe

Changxi

Heavenly Emperor

In terms of number of relatives, this combination is more terrifying than Fuxi and Nüwa, Di Jun and Taiyi, Xihe and Changxi, etc.; it only falls short of the fake 'loving family' twelve kill-marathon group.

Saint

After all, there appear to be twelve gods, but the private chat groups formed among them… according to someone who wishes to remain anonymous, at least thirteen groups can be drawn from here!

Kunlun Mountain

Excluding drinking-and-meat buddies and sworn brothers, the clique of the Daoist Three Pure Ones Heavenly Lords, whether judged by quality or quantity, is top-notch in the present age and very promising.

Suiyue Changhe

Myriad Heavens

In the eyes of the gods, the sibling duo Heizhuang is top-notch, able to wield the voting rights of two Pangu; although they can act tyrannically for a while, in the endless distant future, as many become accomplished in the Pangu great undertaking, it won't be excessive.

In mixed doubles, a certain Pangu unfortunately runs into them; topping out just means losing a few people, they can still struggle for a while—after all, the battle strength of two Pangu isn't going to be completely dumped onto one person, right?

the Heavenly Dao

Pangu Dao Fruit

Pangu Dao Contest

Their combination, which knows each other's backgrounds and can fully trust each other, if they all become Dao Pangu, one Pangu guarding the home, two Pangu catching people—who the hell could stand that?

A lone-wolf Pangu dares to jump; if things go badly, even their feces might get beaten out, they'll be thoroughly beaten into autism, delete their account, quit the game, switch servers and flee!

Three Taiyi

Because these Three Pure Ones Heavenly Lords, in this era they all have attained saintly positions, with the support of the Heavenly Dao, just like the status of a human king among humans; even if they themselves only have the cultivation of a great divine adept, they can prematurely display the power of the Great Simplicity.

Dao Sect

Although they have reaped plenty of 'blessings' from this, sharing the immense Heavenly Dao workload for the Dao Ancestor Hunyuan, working 007 has become the norm; they often work overtime to the point of doubting life, not knowing what year it is.

Heavenly Emperor

When the era ends, even if they lose their saintly positions then, by their own merit they remain individuals of the Great Simplicity, leader-level powerhouses, whose divine might awes all ages!

Holy Emperor

Taiyi Battle Power

the Three Pure Ones

Three Heavenly Venerables

Three Pure Ones Become Saints

Ancestral Witch Houtu

The effect was outstanding, very useful; many hot-blooded demon gods and great witches calmed down, even some of the ancestral witch Yao Marshals who were glaring at each other, planning to kill with looks then fists, temporarily ceased hostilities, glancing askance at the Three Pure Ones.

Twelve Shamate Group

This Era

Great Leader

No matter how lofty the Three Pure Ones' words, whatever moral high ground they claim… if they dare to intervene again, we will crush them outright, killing them together.

To prove their side has this strength, letting the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Lords bite their tongues and organize their words before speaking, the ancestral witch Houtu and the Heavenly Emperor each flashed a glance, their surroundings filled with unfathomable rhythms rising, lightly stirring the human Dao's fortune torrent, causing that Chaos River to silently collapse in an instant.

The cultivation of a great supernatural being

The Three Pure Ones Heavenly Lords let out a muffled grunt, their divine powers dissipated, their bodies swayed, they retreated again and again, their saintly positions seemed to waver, their breath fluctuated, their strength dropped, directly falling to their true level.

The Three Pure Ones have power, etc.

Lich leaders

Saintly positions, while possessing infinite profundity, this profundity is not without source or root…… it has a source.

That is a great power that comes from heaven and earth and from the myriad beings, belonging to Honghuang, aggregated by the Heavenly Dao.

Then, through mysterious means, it is redistributed, ultimately forging such a thing as saintly positions.

Against ordinary deities, it is naturally invincible.

But if one opposes those who oversee heaven, earth, and the myriad beings—the Heavenly Emperor and Holy Sovereign—being targeted and sanctioned by them……

That really is like wearing a thousand layers of makeup, removed with a single basin of makeup remover.

All bonuses are stripped away; one can only rely on their true cultivation strength to handle the problem.

Unless one is strong enough themselves—like Nüwa, having or lacking a saintly position makes no difference, causing her no harm.

Holy Position

There is still a difference……She who became a saint, on the contrary, became weaker!

Constrained by the Heavenly Dao, they secretly reduced part of their military strength.

The Saint's position is coveted by the weak, but to the strong it's a chicken rib.

Therefore, the Saints of this era have never been seen as a threat by the top demon emperors and ancestral witches—their weakness is too severe!

Unless one day the Dharma lineage changes, the Saint sect gains the merit of following the dragon, even obtaining an honorary imperial tutor title, raising their status somewhat…… then it would be worth seeing.

Otherwise, at most they wear the signboard of the Honghuang Human Dao Education Minister, relying on their own connections and strength—how could they possibly contend with those who hold military and personnel power, commanders up to the emperor?

Abolish the Dao lineage, cut down mountains and destroy temples—when pressed, this is not impossible.

Honghuang has its own system, mixing in the Hegemon Dao!

At this moment, the top leaders of the witch and demon sides tacitly stand on the same front line, lightly striking the Three Pure Ones to let them grasp the situation, then smilingly speak, taking full initiative.

"Three Daoist friends, what brilliant plan do you have to advise us?"

"Please speak quickly!"

"Valuing harmony? Exactly how is harmony valued?" Nüwa with kind brows and gentle eyes, though her tone is not kind, "This emperor, for my brother's grave relocation, despite being angry and raising troops……"

"But this is human nature, understandable."

"Can't let my brother's corpse lie exposed in the wilderness… right?"

Nüwa spoke righteously, stating her reasons.

The grave of Donghua, she will definitely take it away!

Whoever blocks her is her enemy!

For this, she can spare no cost!

No one can doubt this…… a poor, lonely little sister, having gone through countless hardships, only to bring her brother 'home'.

Whoever dares to obstruct……

Is this still human!

Is this still heavenly principle!

Even if the methods used in this process are too crazy, unforgivable by law, yet they are understandable.

Of course, among the Three Pure Ones heavenly lords currently acting as peacemakers, someone constantly gossips about this.

"Enough!"

Lingbao Tianzun lowered his brows and eyes, giving the speaking stage to his elder brother Daode Tianzun, but this does not prevent him from muttering in his heart, nagging nonstop.

"Your brother just secretly contacted us, ordering us to act now; what's the purpose? Simply to keep Donghua's grave from falling into your demonic claws!"

"Your brother guards against you as if against a thief, entrusting you with posthumous affairs, deeply worried……"

"I say, moving the grave is better not moved!"

Lingbao Tianzun smacked his lips, wanting to vent some grievances, but ultimately couldn't.

At the crucial moment, Yuanshi Tianzun gave him a sideways glance, telling the youngster to listen and watch more, speak less, not to ruin the matter.

"Be honest!"

Yuanshi Tianzun secretly transmitted sound to Lingbao Tianzun, "Don't ruin the great plan!"

"August Emperor Heavenly Emperor previously agreed with us to 'reasonably and properly' guard Donghua's grave, and also to be able to extract his traces from within, appearing completely unrelated on the surface, not leaking even a hint to the Empress Nüwa, lest she notice something wrong and ruin the great undertaking!"

"After success, our Daoist lineage hopes to advance further…… even gaining an honorary imperial tutor title is not a dream!"

"Even if it's only an honorary title, as long as it receives human Dao's recognition, thereafter it won't be so easy to be sanctioned…… only then have we truly solidified Pangu's foundation, able to contend for the supreme position in the next era!"

Yuanshi Tianzun instructed earnestly, appearing as if he wanted Lingbao Tianzun to copy the related matters a hundred eighty thousand times, firmly memorize them in his heart, never forget for eternity, not to ruin the brothers' great plan and great action.

"You're so annoying……" Lingbao muttered twice in the private chat channel; although complaining is complaining, generally he still knows, realizing it's not a time to fool around, so he didn't overstep.

Just a pang of conscience, sighing while speaking up for Nüwa's righteousness…… well, that kind of justice spoken softly behind the scenes.

"Think carefully, I feel a bit guilty……" Lingbao Tianzun murmured, "In our era, we have received Nüwa's investment; she poured huge amounts of heavenly merit, helping us expand the Daoist sect's influence, improve teaching quality, cultivate outstanding talents……"

"Although her purpose isn't pure either, she wants to indirectly subdue the demon race, extending her hand from our side to the demons, conducting subtle influence and interference……"

Daoist cultivation, when demonic beings enter, usually have this step—transformation into human form!

Transforming into a human-shaped immortal body, with an immortal aura and Daoist bones…… this is the most interesting.

For example, tiger demons, deer demons, sheep demons, etc., after cultivating the Dao and becoming immortals, they call themselves Tiger Power Great Immortal, Deer Power Great Immortal, Sheep Power Great Immortal, etc., thus becoming human-shaped; even if mixed into a small human state, they could even obtain a national tutor title, and according to Daoist arts, pray for rain and relieve disasters.

This middle detail is quite subtle, involving shady little deals.

A famous Honghuang academy that teaches without discrimination, the highest-level cultivation institute, admitted demonic students, but after they achieved something, it seemed they changed their ethnicity, suspected of sending medium-quality talent to the human race……

Even if the ideology accumulated over years cannot be changed quickly……

But the body has already changed, the mindset…… will it still be far?

It's the seat that determines the mind!

"No matter what, from an individual's perspective, we got the investment, the students got benefits…… as for ethnic cohesion, that's not our concern; it's up to the Heavenly Court to operate, whether to improve welfare and retain demon talent."

"Either it's chaotic messing about, ignoring the constant exploitation of young demons, with hollow talk of blessings being blatantly ignored, leading to overwork deaths occurring; or it's sincere treatment, deciding to implement the publicity's 'successor,' letting young demons see hope in life, able to retire early…… this concerns vital interests, each side knows deep down."

Lingbao Tianzun muttered, "Overall, it's so-so, each taking what they need, one part effort, one part reward."

"But our current practice……"

"It seems somewhat suspect of betraying Nüwa's trust, stabbing her in the back!"

"Teaming up with August Emperor, digging a pit for Lady Nüwa…… and still taking her investment, then turning against her and refusing to acknowledge her."

"Isn't this too lacking in virtue?"

Lingbao Tianzun sighed in the transmission.

This heavenly lord is a person of integrity and principle.

On the contrary.

His elder brother Yuanshi Tianzun, then……

"Words shouldn't be said like that."

Yuanshi Tianzun expounds Heaven and elucidates the Dao.

This is a big shot with a deep understanding of all kinds of rules—otherwise, how could they interpret the will of Heaven?

Moreover.

Interpreting the will of Heaven, and it is truly just to be a worker.

Within the limits of the rules, they seek to gain as much benefit for themselves as possible, while holding the rule clauses to shut the mouths of those who question them.

If one were to say, the Donghua Emperor does the work of the most just Chief Justice.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun could absolutely become an outstanding lawyer.

This is a very special profession.

Some can devote their lives, swear to defend justice, promote good and punish evil.

Some, amidst various corrupt currents, happily profit from dirty money, keep company with darkness, defend evil, and seek profit for themselves.

The same path.

Different people lead different wonderful lives.

"Fellow Daoist Nüwa, I am deeply moved by your investment." Yuanshi Tianzun replied calmly via voice transmission, "But one thing is one thing."

"The merit of creating heaven... that's illicit money!"

"Lady Nüwa, she invested such a large sum of illicit money here... although moved, the legal procedures still need to be followed."

"After all, as qualified instructors, we cannot bring about a bad atmosphere."

"How can we be greedy for money and shelter criminals?"

"We should naturally report and expose, or cooperate with relevant departments to carry out a dragnet cleanup operation."

——Sorry, I'm an undercover agent!

"Public is public, private is private; we must lead students to distinguish them."

"Wait until public affairs are settled."

"Then we will go give thanks for private matters."

"Wait until the lady is one day confined; we will pay a visit, bring fine wine and food, offer verbal thanks... that will be about enough."
