Chapter 176

"Pay respects to the Taiqing Saint!"

"Pay respects to the Yuqing Saint!"

"Pay respects to the Shangqing Saint!"

"Pay respects to the Jieyin Saint!"

"Pay respects to the Zhunti Saint!"

With the appearance of the five Saints, the cultivators present all bowed in salute, and at the same time, their hearts breathed a sigh of relief.

No other reason!

It was truly because this matter was too serious; if the hole in the sky could not be repaired, the entire Great Desolation would fall into crisis.

Before this, Nuwa had already said that her own ability could not solve this matter.

Now that five Saints had descended, this matter could basically be resolved, and they did not need to be too worried anymore.

"Greetings to several fellow Daoists!"

Seeing the appearance of the few, Nuwa also breathed a sigh of relief, immediately bowed and said: "Fellow Daoists, I can seal this gap, but without the existence of a pillar, once repaired, the entire Great Desolation will begin to close, and by then, all living things will be devastated. The huge karmic debt is something even I cannot bear!"

Once these words were spoken, the complexions of Jieyin and Zhunti turned black.

Not for any other reason, but because the magnitude of this karmic debt was indeed not something they could bear.

Unlike the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, who attained sainthood through their own abilities, they attained sainthood by completely overdrawing their future. By attaining sainthood through forty-eight great vows, they already owed the Heavenly Dao a huge amount of karma and merit.

If they were entangled by karmic debt, by then, let alone repaying their debts, even they themselves would be implicated, and there would even be a risk of death and Dao dissipation.

Thinking of this, although Jieyin and Zhunti didn't say anything, their figures subconsciously retreated a few steps and landed in the area behind the Three Pure Ones.

"Uh~"

This scene made the great supernatural beings present unable to help but twitch their mouths.

It was truly because the behavior of these two was too degrading, and it really shattered the dignity and prestige of the Saints all over the ground.

Just one sentence from Nuwa scared them into retreating.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people present, I fear Jieyin and Zhunti would have had the urge to turn around and leave.

"Two fellow Daoists, you have time to go and rescue those trapped living beings!"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and mocked them unceremoniously.

It was truly because their situation was too infuriating; the face of the Saints had been lost by them in a big way. How could Yuanshi Tianzun, who valued face, endure this?

"What the fellow Daoist says is very true!"

Unexpectedly, facing Yuanshi Tianzun's mockery, Jieyin and Zhunti at this moment did not feel any shame; instead, they spoke righteously: "Saving the living beings of the Great Desolation is a duty we Saints cannot shirk!"

After speaking, without even giving the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the surrounding great supernatural beings a chance to react, Jieyin and Zhunti swept out like startled birds, beginning to manipulate the Seven-Treasured Wonderful Tree and the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus to salvage and save the innate living beings and Wu and Demon clan members affected by the heavenly water.

"Shameless!"

"Lowly!"

"Outrageous!"

For a time, countless great supernatural beings couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

Does this kind of thing require the Saints to take action personally? This group of them could completely handle all of this easily!

Now that two Saints had taken action, what did they, these great supernatural beings who came from afar, come here for?

Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Nuwa Niangniang couldn't help but roll their eyes; they were truly speechless regarding the behavior of Jieyin and Zhunti.

However, things had reached this point, and the four of them had no intention of paying attention to the two anymore.

After all, they weren't idiots; how could they not know that Jieyin and Zhunti didn't want to bear the danger and responsibility.

Thinking of this, Laozi slowly spoke: "Yuanshi, try and see!"

"Can that section of Mount Buzhou be repaired?"

Once these words were spoken, the cultivators between heaven and earth all looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with anticipation.

After all, Mount Buzhou was the key to supporting the Great Desolation; now that it had collapsed, the best choice was to repair it.

If Mount Buzhou could be restored to its original state, then all these crises would be solved easily.

"I will try and see!"

Nodding, Yuanshi Tianzun did not refuse.

He was the number one artifact refining master of the Great Desolation; if one wanted to repair something, there was really no one else who could do it besides him.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately waved his hand, and a vast power swept out, directly pulling the half-section of Mount Buzhou that had crashed onto the ground to the area in front of him.

In the next second, the power around Yuanshi began to churn.

The terrifying Saint mana manifested, flowing continuously like light and colorful clouds into that half-section of Mount Buzhou.

As time passed, the half-section of Mount Buzhou also overflowed with precious light.

However, after only a few breaths of time, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly frowned, and the movement in his hands paused: "It won't work!"

"The divine charm within this half-section of Mount Buzhou has been completely destroyed; it is completely impossible to restore it. Even I cannot revive it!"

"This also means that this object no longer has its original function; at most, it is a top-tier artifact refining material, with no possibility of recovery."

Once these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

The gods of the Great Desolation, who had originally placed high hopes on it, instantly lowered their eyes.

Disappointment!

Too disappointed.

The problem they thought had been solved now seemed not to be that simple.

"What's the situation?"

"Master and the others don't know about the existence of the Xuangui?"

Inside Minghe Laozu's sleeve, Lin Fan looked at the scenery outside, somewhat stunned and puzzled.

In the original story, Tongtian went to the North Sea to kill the Xuangui and cut off its four limbs to forge four heavenly pillars to support the Great Desolation world.

But now?

They seemed to be unaware of the existence of the Xuangui, nor did they know that cutting off its four limbs could be used to make heavenly pillars. What exactly was going on?

However, before Lin Fan could continue to ponder, Minghe Laozu's voice suddenly resounded: "Lin Fan, your master is here; you should go and greet him."

In the next second, Lin Fan only felt a blur before his eyes, and his whole person was directly out of Minghe's sleeve and arrived in the area beside him.

For a time, many people's gazes locked onto Lin Fan.

"This is~"

"Tongtian's disciple?"

"Why is he with Minghe Laozu?"

"..."

For a time, many people's gazes flickered, pondering what kind of relationship Tongtian Jiaozhu and Minghe Laozu had.

Otherwise, why would Tongtian Jiaozhu's disciple appear beside Minghe, and it was clearly not being imprisoned, nor being captured.

"Go!"

Not caring about the gazes of the people around, Minghe Laozu waved his hand at Lin Fan and said.

Things had reached this point, and even Yuanshi Tianzun could not repair Mount Buzhou; he had already begun to make the worst-case plans.

In this way, building a relationship with Tongtian Jiaozhu was an inevitable matter, and it even needed to be done openly. Only in this way could he rely on Tongtian Jiaozhu's hand to protect the Sea of Blood.

Only in this way, under such a world-ending crisis, would the Sea of Blood and the Asura Clan have the possibility of continuing to survive.
