Chapter 100: Saints Quarreling! The Shock Brought by the Manifestation of Heaven and Earth!

One thousand miles away from the Zhushan Tribe.

Zhenyuanzi abruptly stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the tribulation clouds in the distance that were rapidly dissipating.

He frowned slightly: "It seems that I, the poor Daoist, have arrived a step too late."

He could see that several Saints seemed to be in some sort of conflict at this moment, and for a time, he hesitated whether to continue forward.

After all, he had actually been keeping an eye on the Zhushan Tribe throughout his journey, and he had even passed by many Human Race tribes, seeing with his own eyes how many humans had broken through one after another because of Lu Yun's preaching.

He also perceived that several Saints had developed some friction because of this human, Lu Yun.

If the several Saints were to have any misunderstandings about his sudden arrival, it would not be a good thing.

Just then, he suddenly sensed waves of powerful auras approaching the Zhushan Tribe from different directions.

Among them, many of the auras belonged to people he was familiar with.

"Hmm? This is... the aura of Minghe!"

Zhenyuanzi's expression suddenly darkened, as if he had recalled some unpleasant past events.

This Minghe Laozu was an Innate Sacred born from the Sea of Blood, and also one of the top Quasi-Saints in the Great Desolation today.

In the past, Zhenyuanzi had once listened to the Dao together with him at Hongjun's Zixiao Palace.

It was just that the relationship between Zhenyuanzi and Minghe was not very good now.

The reason was that back then, Kunpeng had colluded with Di Jun and Taiyi to ambush his old friend, Hongyun Laozu, intending to seize Hongyun's Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Hongyun was no match for them, and during his escape, he happened to pass by the Nether Blood Sea; as a result, Minghe Laozu actually put on a show of preparing to strike, causing Hongyun to choose to self-detonate and die in despair.

It could be said that although Minghe had never truly attacked Hongyun, he had indirectly led to Hongyun's death.

It was because of this that Zhenyuanzi had always remained hostile toward Minghe, even going to the Nether Blood Sea many times to seek revenge, but Minghe would avoid him every time, which made him extremely irritated.

He had not expected that Minghe would also be attracted here today.

This made Zhenyuanzi change his mind instantly: perfect, he would take this opportunity to settle the score with Minghe properly! Zhenyuanzi directly activated the Earth Book to hide his aura and continued to head rapidly toward the Zhushan Tribe.

Inside the Zhushan Tribe.

Suirenshi looked toward the mountain peak where Lu Yun was with a worried expression.

At this moment, looking from here, there was a towering tree on the summit that had not been there before, looking as if it had turned into a large silver-blue umbrella, with electric light flickering incessantly upon it, appearing quite spectacular.

Originally, there was nothing special around the Zhushan Tribe except for a bamboo forest, but now, because Lu Yun had planted this Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood, it had become somewhat peculiar.

It was just like a village built relying on an immortal mountain.

However, the humans of the Zhushan Tribe had no time to appreciate such changes for the moment.

Because they, like Suirenshi, were worried about Lu Yun on that mountain peak.

Most of the Human Race did not know about the struggle for destiny, but they keenly felt that the atmosphere among the several Saints was not quite right.

Tribal Chief Dashan could not help but ask: "Suiren Ancestor, will Immortal Lu Yun be alright?"

Suirenshi sighed softly and comforted everyone: "Everyone, rest assured. Lu Yun is a great contributor to our Human Race; the Holy Mother will surely protect him well!"

Everyone was silent, yet their hearts remained somewhat uneasy.

After all, they could also see that Nuwa was only one person, yet she was currently facing several Saints! At this moment, they only hated themselves for being too weak; even though their strength had increased greatly just now because of Lu Yun's preaching, they were still unable to help protect the benefactor of the Human Race.

A Great Witch laughed and said: "Don't worry, we twelve Ancestral Witches are here; we will definitely keep Brother Lu Yun safe and sound!"

The other Great Witches also echoed in agreement.

Hearing this, Guangchengzi glanced at the Great Witches who had spoken, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He acknowledged that the twelve Ancestral Witches were strong, but even if the twelve Ancestral Witches joined forces, they could at most only contend with one Saint.

However, he did not go out of his way to provoke those Great Witches.

Right now, what he was actually most worried about was that if Nuwa agreed to let Lu Yun join the Ren Sect, that would be truly disgusting! The surrounding humans, however, were all invigorated.

Most of the Human Race did not understand the difference in strength between Ancestral Witches and Saints; they just saw that the Ancestral Witches were so powerful, and they felt a sense of reassurance in their hearts.

There were also some humans who knew that since they could do nothing now, they might as well practice quickly.

It just so happened that there were still many prey in the tribe; before, they had not dared to eat recklessly, but now that they had obtained new martial arts, they could eat their fill, then quickly practice to improve their strength.

Only then would they not fail the kindness of Lu Yun, who had braved the Heavenly Tribulation to preach to them!

Around the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

Nuwa frowned, still remaining silent.

The Three Pure Ones and Zhunti were all waiting for her reply.

Compared to the several Saints with their heavy atmosphere, the twelve Ancestral Witches were all very relaxed now.

A few Ancestral Witches were watching the standoff between the Saints with great interest.

The other Ancestral Witches were curiously examining this peculiar Spiritual Root behind Lu Yun.

The Ancestral Witch of Electricity, Xizi, said with great interest: "I didn't expect there to be such a lightning Spiritual Root in the Great Desolation; I have never seen it before."

The Ancestral Witch of Thunder, Qiang Liang, was somewhat puzzled and said: "This Spiritual Root has absorbed so much Tribulation Lightning and grown so much, yet it has not nurtured any intelligence; it is quite strange."

Ancestral Witch Jumang smiled and said: "What is strange about this? In the Great Desolation, the higher the grade of a Spiritual Root, the harsher the conditions required to nurture intelligence and take human form, and the longer the time it takes. Basically, before it can take form, it is likely to be carved up by others!"

The other Ancestral Witches around all nodded in agreement.

And their topic also attracted the attention of the several Saints.

Tongtian could not help but think of the Creation Green Lotus that the Three Pure Ones had carved up back then; the Red Flower, White Lotus Root, and Green Lotus Leaf had become a Spiritual Treasure in each of their hands.

There was also that Innate Gourd Vine from the past, which had nurtured seven gourds and was also carved up by them and Hongyun and others, which had now become several famous Spiritual Treasures in the Great Desolation.

Of course, this Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood naturally could not be compared with the Creation Green Lotus or the Innate Gourd Vine.

Otherwise, it would likely have already invited Heavenly Tribulation by now! Zhunti's gaze suddenly fell upon the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood, and he realized that he had been so focused on staring at Lu Yun just now that he hadn't noticed this Spiritual Root was also a good thing! Although its grade was not very high, its function was extraordinary; it could actually absorb Tribulation Lightning! If he could take it back to Mount Sumeru, his Western Sect disciples could completely utilize this Spiritual Root when undergoing Tribulation Transcendence in the future to reduce the difficulty! For a moment, Zhunti became even more determined to recruit Lu Yun into the Western Sect.

In this way, not only could he gain a disciple with astonishing talent, but he could also obtain a powerful Spiritual Root in the process; why not do it? Thinking of this, Zhunti coughed lightly, looked at Nuwa, and asked: "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, how have you considered it?"

The crowd's gazes fell once again in unison upon Nuwa, and the atmosphere suddenly grew tense once more. Nuwa seemed to have made a decision at this moment; she slowly raised her head and said calmly, "Whether Lu Yun wants to take a master, and who he chooses to take as a master, depends on his own opinion. If you yourselves can convince him to join your sects, I have no objections."

Hearing this, Laozi's brows furrowed.

If he himself could convince Lu Yun to take a master, why would he have needed to suggest that Nuwa persuade him just a moment ago?

Zhunti also furrowed his brows, feeling that Nuwa was simply trying not to offend either side. But in this way, he and the Western Two Sages would have no advantage in competing with the Three Pure Ones!

Before they could make any response, Nuwa said again, "To tell you the truth, I also want to take him as my disciple! It just depends on who he chooses!"

At this, Zhunti felt even more depressed.

If Nuwa, this Holy Mother of the Human Race, were to compete with them, what advantage could he possibly have left?

Fuxi, however, had his eyes light up, secretly admiring his younger sister.

This move was clever!

While leaving some room for both sides, she had forcefully added a third option to what was originally only two.

Unfortunately, Laozi was not so easily fooled.

He shook his head directly and said, "This Human Race has shaken the foundation of my Ren Sect. Unless he joins my Ren Sect, I, the poor Daoist, will have no choice but to take action!"

Nuwa's expression turned gloomy instantly, and she said angrily, "Must Senior Brother force things to this point? Have you ever considered that the Human Race might not necessarily need the Ren Sect!"

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

Laozi kept a sullen face, saying nothing, only looking at Nuwa coldly.

Yuanshi also looked at Nuwa with a cold expression.

Tongtian sighed inwardly, his expression somewhat helpless.

But as a brother, he certainly could not sit by and watch his elder brother's foundation for becoming a Saint be severed, so if it really came to tearing off the mask of civility, he would have no choice but to help Laozi.

Zhunti, however, was smiling happily, saying, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa is right! If there is a need, my Western Sect is also very happy to come to the Human Race to preach!"

These words of his once again made his stance clear.

That is, as long as Nuwa supported Lu Yun in joining the Western Sect, they, the Western Two Sages, would fully support Nuwa!

After all, for the Western Sect, being able to come to the Human Race to preach was also a great thing! In the past, if they wanted to come and preach, they still had to consider whether Laozi would allow it!

If Nuwa, in a fit of anger, directly announced the abolition of the Ren Sect and the Human Race no longer believed in the Ren Sect, wouldn't their Western Sect be able to obtain even more merit by preaching to the Human Race? Thinking of this, he could not help but feel impatient.

Before Laozi could react to these words, Yuanshi was the first to be unable to hold back and started trouble.

He glared at Zhunti and said in a deep voice, "Zhunti, you provoke us like this—do you think my Three Pure Ones are easy to bully?!"

Zhunti looked innocent and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, why say such things? I, the poor Daoist, am only acting out of good intentions, wanting to help Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

Yuanshi sneered, "I, the poor Daoist, am also acting out of good intentions. Now I will help you guide your path of cultivation; why don't you come with me to the Chaos to have a bout, how about that?"

Zhunti's expression changed.

This Yuanshi was clearly trying to lure him away so that Laozi and Tongtian could take advantage of the situation to succeed.

His reaction was extremely fast; he immediately and decisively admitted defeat, saying, "I, the poor Daoist, admit I am not a match for you, Fellow Daoist, so there is no need to trouble you!"

Originally, even if he were no match for Yuanshi, he would not have admitted defeat so easily. After all, it concerned the face of a Saint.

But now, if he were to really go to the Chaos to fight Yuanshi for the sake of a dispute of pride, and let a good seedling like Lu Yun be taken by Laozi, he would truly regret it forever.

Therefore, for the sake of Lu Yun, as well as the merit on Lu Yun and the Spiritual Root behind him, he was now willing to discard even his face! Yuanshi's face turned dark, but he was helpless about this.

The members of the Transmigration Chat Group who were watching the live stream had been watching the standoff between the Saints the whole time, and could not help but record quite a bit of material.

"Tsk tsk, Saints arguing—truly extraordinary!"

"Thanks to Lu Yun, otherwise how could we have had the chance to witness such a scene!"

"I have more material to brag to newcomers with in the future!"

"Nuwa is actually quite good to Lu Yun; she actually stood up to the Three Pure Ones for his sake!"

"I suppose it's because Lu Yun displayed enough value for her to take him seriously!"

"This Zhunti is truly as the rumors say—just a rascal!"

"It looks like Yuanshi really has no way to deal with him!"

"After all, if a person is shameless, they are invincible in the world! If a Saint is shameless, they are invincible in the Great Desolation!"

……

Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Houtu's gaze had remained fixed on Lu Yun from beginning to end.

She had also remained on guard, fearing that the Three Pure Ones, or Zhunti, or even that Baize would suddenly launch an attack on Lu Yun, so she was ready to strike at any moment.

It was precisely because of this that, while the Saints were arguing, she suddenly noticed a change in the aura on Lu Yun's body.

She sensed it for a moment and suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise, which immediately drew the attention of the other Ancestral Witches who were watching the show.

Ancestral Witch Xuanming asked, "Little sister, what is wrong?"

The several Saints who were originally arguing also turned their gazes in unison toward Houtu.

Houtu pointed at Lu Yun and said, "He seems to be practicing the Dharma Heaven and Earth!"

The crowd around them was stunned in unison, and then they all looked at Lu Yun.

Upon looking, they discovered that the aura on Lu Yun's body had indeed undergone some kind of strange change at this moment.

They carefully sensed this aura and indeed discovered that it was a fluctuation of a Supernatural Power similar to the Dharma Heaven and Earth! But wasn't the Dharma Aspect of Heaven and Earth something only the Wu Clan possessed? Whether it was the Three Pure Ones, or Zhunti, or even Nuwa, for a moment they all felt suspicious and uncertain.

Before they could make any response, they saw Lu Yun suddenly open his eyes and leap up from the ground!

The next moment, Lu Yun's figure suddenly and rapidly grew larger; he had clearly already unleashed the Dharma Heaven and Earth! "Hum!"

Lu Yun's original body of less than two meters suddenly grew to ten zhang, then continued to grow to fifty zhang, and then grew to one hundred zhang, only then stopping its growth.

Seeing this scene, the Witches in the distant Zhushan Tribe all widened their eyes.

They could never have imagined that Lu Yun, this human, would not only unleash the Dharma Heaven and Earth unique to the Wu Clan, but also achieve a height of one hundred zhang! In their Wu Clan, this was an effect that only a Great Witch could achieve!

Could this Lu Yun actually be a member of the Wu Clan?! (End of chapter)
