Chapter 175: Three Pure Ones Win Back a Round? Tongtian Thinks Laozi is a Bit Shameless!

"Preposterous!"

Yuanshi Tianzun could not help but slam the table and stand up, his face full of rage.

Their disciples of the Three Teachings had worked painstakingly to build cities for the Human Race across the Primordial Land, thinking they could use this opportunity to expand their influence and even gather more Human Race Luck.

But what was the result?

The cities they built were actually not as attractive as the ones on Lu Yun's side!

How could they possibly accept this?

Tongtian Jiaozhu also frowned deeply and said with some helplessness: "Clearly, our previous thinking was too simple. Wanting to gather Human Race Luck is not enough just by building cities."

"Indeed."

Laozi nodded and said in a deep voice: "We previously ignored the needs and wishes of the Human Race itself. The reason Lu Yun's side is able to attract the Human Race is not only because the cities he built are more suitable for the Human Race to live in, but more importantly, he can provide the Human Race with the things they truly need."

"For example, the Five Grains and Six Livestock, for example, the Trial Land..."

Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and said: "Since that is the case, we cannot continue like this. We must adjust our strategy and reconsider how to gather Human Race Luck."

Laozi nodded.

He knew that this matter could no longer be delayed.

They must come up with a new plan as soon as possible, otherwise their previous efforts would all be in vain.

Tongtian had originally let the Jie Sect disciples participate in the action only out of consideration for his eldest brother Laozi's feelings, but after being frustrated repeatedly, he now also developed a strong interest in competing with Lu Yun.

Of course, the premise was fair and open competition.

Therefore, at this moment, the Three Pure Ones began to discuss urgently and quickly formulated some strategies.

Meanwhile, Lu Yun was not idle either.

After the Trial Land in Qi City was put into operation, he took Nuwa and the others to continue to the next city.

Along the way, they were not only checking the operation of the Trial Land, but also observing the development of the Human Race and the changes in the Primordial Land.

They discovered that as the strength of the Human Race improved, some unusual movements began to appear on the Primordial Land.

Some Demon beasts and fierce beasts that were originally hidden in the deep mountains and great marshes began to gradually appear in the sight of the Human Race.

Even some powerful Demon beasts and fierce beasts took the initiative to launch attacks on the Human Race.

This made Lu Yun realize that the balance of the Primordial Land had begun to be broken.

However, he was not too worried.

Because this was exactly the result he wanted.

Only when the Human Race could begin to fight and kill each other with the creatures on the Primordial Land could they more quickly filter out the true strong and promote the development of the Human Race.

With the potential of the Human Race, they would also gradually stand out in this struggle and become an important force on the Primordial Land.

Of course, Lu Yun would not watch the Human Race being bullied by other overly powerful creatures.

He had already made some arrangements in secret, and would give them the greatest support as soon as the Human Race needed it.

In addition, Lu Yun also noticed that the disciples under the Three Pure Ones began to adjust their action strategies.

This was clearly because they realized that their previous methods had not achieved the expected results.

They were no longer in a hurry to build more cities, but began to renovate the cities already built near Shouyang Mountain, making them more suitable for the survival and development of the Human Race.

In addition, regarding farming and animal husbandry, the disciples of the Three Teachings also put in great effort and really tinkered with quite a few crops and livestock suitable for the Human Race to farm and raise.

Finally, they even built quite a few Trial Lands for the Human Race! Lu Yun was not surprised by this; after all, as the top powerhouses on the Primordial Land, the wisdom and means of the Three Pure Ones were not to be underestimated; they just didn't understand the Human Race enough before.

And because the Three Pure Ones let their disciples change their strategies, large areas of human-gathered towns had now formed near Shouyang Mountain, becoming increasingly prosperous day by day.

Upon learning of this, Nuwa could not help but ask Lu Yun: "How do you plan to respond?"

Lu Yun just smiled and said: "No need to respond; this is a good thing for our Human Race, isn't it?"

Nuwa naturally knew this point as well.

She had clearly felt recently that the Human Race Luck had been rising continuously.

This was partly due to Lu Yun's contribution, and equally due to the contributions of the Three Pure Ones and their disciples.

And as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, she naturally benefited greatly.

It was just because she was now on a united front with Lu Yun that she had to consider Lu Yun's thoughts, but she didn't expect Lu Yun to not care at all.

This point actually made Nuwa, Houtu, and the sisters Xihe quite admire him.

As a result, Lu Yun suddenly transmitted his voice to them and said: "What's more, for us, Shouyang Mountain will also be a middle station for the Human Race Path of Proving the Dao. Once we build the Humanity Path of Proving Dao all the way there and directly incorporate the fruits of the labor of the Three Teachings' disciples into our plan, wouldn't that be delightful?"

This... Nuwa and the others were all speechless for a moment.

So this was the real reason why Lu Yun didn't care about the Three Pure Ones' actions! If the Three Pure Ones later discovered that the competition they thought was effective was actually helping Lu Yun complete the Humanity Path of Proving Dao plan, and they even received a portion of the merit rewards because of it, who knew what their expressions would be? Thinking about it, Nuwa and the others were even looking forward to it.

Xihe suddenly thought of something and said: "However, if you remain indifferent to their behavior, perhaps it will arouse their suspicion instead?"

Lu Yun could not help but nod and said: "That makes sense!"

He pondered for a moment and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I have it! I can have my incarnations change their way of acting!"

Houtu asked curiously: "How to change?"

Lu Yun laughed: "Since we want to build the Humanity Path of Proving Dao, a single straight line leading to Shouyang Mountain is always difficult to radiate to all the Human Race. Why not build a few more roads in the first half!"

At present, the way Lu Yun and the others built cities was a bit different from the Three Pure Ones. The disciples under the Three Pure Ones built city clusters radiating outward around Shouyang Mountain, while Lu Yun started from Yuan City and built a line pointing to Shouyang Mountain.

Now Lu Yun thought of building a few more lines!

This way, he could also take care of more of the Human Race. Eventually, these lines would converge at Shouyang Mountain, just in time to give the Three Pure Ones a 'rural areas encircling the cities' strategy! And at the moment, Lu Yun indeed had the ability to do so.

Because his incarnations were building cities and Trial Lands everywhere, the number of Human Race members who had learned construction was astonishing. They could completely lead a team each and fly to various parts of the Primordial Land to start work separately.

Thinking that when the Three Pure Ones saw his actions here, they would think he was forced to change his strategy by them, and they wouldn't think about anything else! Lu Yun told Nuwa and the others about the plan, which also received their approval, and then they immediately took action.

Thus, his incarnations began to disperse, each taking a group of skilled craftsmen of the Human Race and spreading out in all directions.

Only the Literature Dao incarnation Lu Wen was left, taking Kunpeng and heading towards Shouyang Mountain, while continuing to build cities and create Trial Lands for the Human Race, perfecting the Humanity Path of Proving Dao.

As for Lu Yun himself, he seemed to have suddenly lost interest in building cities for the Human Race, and invited Nuwa, Houtu, and the sisters Xihe to go play in other parts of the Primordial Land.

This move was naturally once again to paralyze the Three Teachings.

This series of movements by Lu Yun naturally soon fell into the eyes of the Three Teachings.

When they saw Lu Yun's avatars begin to disperse and spread across the Great Desolation, while Lu Yun himself seemed to relax and take Nuwa and the others to tour the Great Desolation, the brows of the Three Teachings could not help but furrow tightly.

"Big Brother, it seems Lu Yun has been forced by our actions and has begun to change his strategy," Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice, a flash of smugness in his eyes.

Tongtian Jiaozhu smiled slightly and said, "It seems our change in strategy has taken effect; Lu Yun has no choice but to divide his forces into multiple paths. In this way, his luck and influence will be dispersed."

At this moment, a faint smile could not help but appear on the corner of Laozi's mouth.

Having clashed with Lu Yun for so long, he had finally managed to win a round, which made him feel much more at ease.

However, he then said seriously, "We cannot be complacent because of this; we still need to understand the Human Race more deeply to completely stabilize the luck of my Ren Sect. Moreover, this Lu Yun may not necessarily have no other actions, so we cannot be negligent."

Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded after hearing Laozi's words.

Thus, the Three Teachings decided to continue observing Lu Yun's movements while also accelerating their own pace on the Primordial Land.

Not only did they want to build more cities near Shouyang Mountain, but they also wanted to go deep into the Human Race, understand their needs, provide them with more help, and expand the influence of the Ren Sect among the Human Race and enhance the Ren Sect Luck before Lu Yun made any other moves.

Regarding the matter of Demon beasts attacking Human Race cities, the disciples of the Three Teachings were even more diligent in slaying demons and eliminating evil, and for a time, the reputation of the Three Teachings really spread rapidly among the Human Race.

Regarding this, Laozi and Yuanshi were naturally very happy.

Tongtian, however, felt a bit awkward.

Because before Lu Yun appeared, let alone his Jie Sect and Yuanshi's Chan Sect, even Laozi, this leader of the Ren Sect, had paid no attention to the situation of the Human Race, calling it "governing by doing nothing."

Now, because Lu Yun's appearance made Laozi feel threatened, he was working hard to help the Human Race, even dragging the Chan Sect and Jie Sect along to help.

No matter how he thought about it, Tongtian felt his big brother was being a bit cheap!

If he had done this earlier, there would be no room for Lu Yun to act; he had to wait until he felt threatened to launch such a wretched and flustered operation.

However, he did not say these words in front of Laozi and Yuanshi, so as not to annoy his two older brothers.

And Laozi himself, while happy, still did not neglect his attention toward Lu Yun.

But he discovered that Lu Yun now seemed to be truly neglecting his proper work, spending every day taking Nuwa and the others out to play everywhere.

This made Laozi feel very puzzled.

Yuanshi, however, felt there was nothing strange about this matter.

He said, "No matter how capable that Human Race is, it is impossible for him to have new ideas every day. His current situation is normal!"

Laozi thought about it, nodded, and agreed with this point.

Tongtian had no objection to Yuanshi's judgment this time, only saying, "Since that is the case, we can also relax a little. This humble Daoist has not practiced for many days; it is just the right time to go back and practice!"

Being reminded by him, Laozi and Yuanshi also remembered that they had been so troubled by Lu Yun these days that they had no heart for cultivation, so they naturally agreed with Tongtian's idea.

They also wanted to go practice.

However, for the sake of caution, before starting his practice, Laozi specifically left behind his Good Corpse, Taishang Laojun, to continue watching Lu Yun's movements and report to him immediately if there was any anomaly.

What the Three Teachings did not know was that Lu Yun, who in their eyes had been touring the mountains and playing in the water, was actually, besides continuing to remotely control his avatars, accompanying Nuwa and the others to travel through the Great Desolation while also chatting in the Transmigration Chat Group.

When he was building the Trial Land for the Human Race everywhere before, he spent a lot of points in the mall to buy various things; now, he had uploaded many Great Desolation items into the Points Mall, earning the points back again.

In addition, during these days, he did not ask everyone in the group for ideas; instead, he changed his attitude and gave many suggestions to others in the group.

Many people in the group had improved significantly because of his guidance and help, and had even overcome many difficulties.

Especially that batch of newcomers who joined the group earlier; under his intervention, the mortality rate this time was even lower than the batch before Lu Yun's, with a full dozen or so people surviving the Newbie Period.

After all, the previous Lu Yun only helped some group members inadvertently, but now he had changed to intentionally helping other members, so the effect was naturally completely different.

He had become a true big shot in the Chat Group.

In the Transmigration Chat Group, many people originally just thought he was lucky and called him a big shot on the surface, but in reality, many people were doing so with a sense of mockery.

But after this period of time, they began to truly admire Lu Yun from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, Lu Yun was not helping them for nothing; besides wanting these people to help him collect more items from other worlds, he wanted everyone to be grateful to him so that when he wanted to trigger a mission, these people would naturally be more active.

On this day, Lu Yun felt the timing was about right, and Nuwa also told him that the gazes watching their movements recently had basically disappeared.

Lu Yun felt he could stir up some trouble again.

With a thought, he opened the Transmigration Chat Group and saw that a few new members who had passed the Newbie Period were discussing how comfortable their lives were now that their Heavenly Condemnation Halo had ended and their fortunes had turned for the better; the old members were not seen.

Thus, he asked directly.

Lu Yun: "Big shots in the group, the Humanity Path of Proving Dao is still under construction and cannot be completed in a short time. I have been touring the mountains and playing in the water for a long time recently and feel a bit bored. I want to find something to do, but I don't know what is good to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group was quiet for a moment.

Immediately after, the old group members all began to pop up one after another!
