Chapter 229: Lin Fan's retelling, the shocked Sages

Creak—

The gate of Pangu Hall opened.

Ancestral Witch Dijiang stepped out from within, looked at Sanqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti outside, and a trace of complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

After all, he knew very well what it meant to let these people enter within; that was the damage to the Wu Clan's own interests, and even the price of dividing interests.

But so what?

From the moment Tongtian Jiaozhu's aura erupted before, Dijiang understood that the strength of their Ancestral Witches was too weak.

If Zhurong and Gonggong, these two Ancestral Witches, had not died, they could have activated the complete Twelve Capital Divine Array to summon Pangu's physical body, which would have been fine; at least they would have had a seat.

But with the death of the two Ancestral Witches, the power of the Twelve Capital Divine Array was greatly weakened. Even if they summoned Pangu's physical body, it would only be at the level of Jieyin and Zhunti, completely failing to reach the level of deterring other Sages.

Thinking of this, Dijiang stepped aside and said: "Sages, please enter!"

Seeing this, Sanqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti exchanged glances, and without saying much, they stepped forward and walked towards Pangu Hall.

Except for Tongtian Jiaozhu, who had been there once.

Including Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and Zhunti, they were all extremely curious about the situation inside Pangu Hall.

"It's actually an independent world!"

"And it's a complete world!"

"What a Pangu Hall, no wonder it can become the forbidden area of the Wu Clan!"

"Such a magical place, it is worthy of being the foundation of the Wu Clan."

"..."

As they entered, the exclamations of Jieyin and the others kept coming out.

Even as Sages.

They did not have similar treasures or things.

Even the Heavens Celebration Cloud, that thing could link many Small Thousand Worlds.

But compared to the complete world inside Pangu Hall, and even the complete rules, all of this was still quite a bit worse.

Not to mention that the Heavens Celebration Cloud was now the property of Tongtian Jiaozhu, which also led to it being even more impossible for Yuanshi Tianzun to take out a treasure comparable to it.

Under such circumstances, the five Sages soon arrived at the hall area.

"Greetings to the Sages!"

"Greetings to the Ancestral Witches!"

For a time, the greetings between the two sides ended.

Immediately after, Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at Lin Fan in the crowd and said: "Lin Fan, speak, what is the specific situation?"

"As your Master, I have already invited your First Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and the two Sages Jieyin and Zhunti according to your requirements."

As soon as these words were spoken, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had indifferent expressions; after all, they already knew this information before.

But Jieyin and Zhunti, who were on the side, had their pupils shrink, and a trace of incredible color appeared in the depths of their eyes.

They really did not expect that inviting the two of them to come was not the idea of Sanqing and the Wu Clan, but this junior Lin Fan.

After exchanging glances, Jieyin and Zhunti both looked curiously at where Lin Fan was.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, First Martial Uncle, greetings, Second Martial Uncle!"

"Greetings, two Martial Uncles!"

Regarding this, Lin Fan was no longer timid and stepped forward to salute the five Sages.

After finishing all this, Lin Fan then spoke: "The specific matter is because Houtu Zuwu has found an opportunity that belongs to herself, and it is very likely that she will prove the Dao and become a Sage because of this, or rather, a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal."

"But the subsequent benefits within this opportunity are also incomparably huge; that is a complete world, existing within the Great Desolation and not governed by the Heavenly Dao!"

"Houtu Zuwu and the Ancestral Witches intend to focus on developing that area, but the Wu Clan after all has no Primordial Spirit, and many things are limited, so they want to find people to cooperate in development!"

"According to the results of the Ancestral Witches' discussion, they need the core area as the territory of the Wu Clan, and it is also the foundation of Houtu Zuwu's opportunity, which cannot be peeped at by outsiders."

"But besides the core land, the other areas can also allow the Sages to participate in development, management, and even self-governance..."

As Lin Fan talked eloquently, the expressions of Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieyin, and Zhunti all became solemn.

What Sanqing cared about was what Lin Fan said: a brand-new world existing in the Great Desolation, but not belonging to the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao.

What did this mean?

It meant that as long as one was within that world, the rules of the Heavenly Dao could not bind people, and did that also include themselves?

And the rapid breathing of Jieyin and Zhunti was because of the management and development of a brand-new world, and it belonged to the Great Desolation but did not belong to the Heavenly Dao. That meant that if they could get benefits from it, it would be incomparably huge, and even continuous.

After all, according to Lin Fan's words, although the Wu Clan of that world occupied the core, it was also because of Houtu Zuwu herself that it could not be tainted by them, but the other areas were different.

That was something they could directly manage themselves. If it developed well, it could even become their brand-new station, and even be more important than Mount Sumeru.

For a time, the entire hall fell into dead silence.

Sanqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti, none of them spoke immediately, but the intensity of their changing expressions already explained that they were extremely tempted by this.

"Are the words of the Ancestral Witches true?"

After a full quarter of an hour, Laozi came back to his senses, turned his head to look at where Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches were, and asked.

After all, Lin Fan's words were only a relay, and the people who truly needed to nod were the group of Ancestral Witches.

"True!"

Nodding, Dijiang stepped forward and said: "However, the premise is that the Sages must reach an agreement with our Wu Clan. In this matter, you must be on a unified front with us. Even if the Heavenly Dao wants to intervene, you cannot agree!"

"As for the Heavenly Dao itself, our Wu Clan will deal with it. What you need to do is to remain neutral. Of course, if that Nuwa has the intention to intervene, please stop her."

"Similarly, if Xuangui wants to participate in this matter, we also hope that the Sages can take action to stop him. After we have dealt with the Heavenly Dao's matter, we will join forces to contend with him."

"If Xuangui only wants to seek a seat, we can also agree, but the premise is that he cannot touch the bottom-line core area of our Wu Clan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sanqing and the others all frowned.

Not for anything else, it was really because the information contained in Dijiang's words was too large.

He won over them, excluded Nuwa; everyone tacitly knew this point.

But the Wu Clan actually had the confidence to contend with the Heavenly Dao; this was simply nonsense, simply unimaginable.

But combined with what Lin Fan said, Houtu Zuwu's opportunity was very likely to directly help her prove the Dao of Hunyuan, such a possibility seemed not non-existent.

After all, back then Xuangui proved the Dao of Hunyuan and provoked the Heavenly Dao, and even showed various disdain for Dao Ancestor Hongjun. From this, it could be seen that he had sufficient confidence. If Houtu reached this level, contending with the Heavenly Dao was truly possible! ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
