Chapter 99: Unexpected Turn of Events

Suirenshi in the Zhushan Tribe, having once again obtained merit, was naturally extremely excited and filled with gratitude in his heart.

Nuwa in the air, however, only smiled faintly; she did not care much about this bit of merit.

Zhunti, on the other hand, watched from the side, so envious that he was almost drooling! At the same time, he felt somewhat helpless in his heart: he had acted too late! If only he had acted sooner!

Afterwards, he looked at Lu Yun again, his gaze burning; clearly, he had still not given up on the idea of taking Lu Yun as his disciple.

The gazes of the others also fell upon Lu Yun in unison once more.

Yet, they saw that Lu Yun was currently sitting cross-legged beneath the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood, his entire body glowing with Merit Golden Light, making him appear incomparably sacred.

His eyes were tightly shut, and he seemed to still be in a state of enlightenment.

Seeing this scene, everyone was silent, each harboring their own different thoughts.

Fuxi clicked his tongue in secret, while also feeling some admiration for Lu Yun. He had not expected that under such circumstances, Lu Yun could still practice so calmly.

As for Nuwa, she did not even think about it; she directly waved her hand to send the Lotus Lantern to the top of Lu Yun's head at the fastest speed, releasing multicolored divine light to shroud Lu Yun, putting on a show of protecting him!

Baize was naturally full of anticipation that the few Saints would act immediately.

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about dealing with the twelve Ancestral Witches, but simply felt that Lu Yun himself was a huge threat to the Demon Race! Therefore, if the few Saints acted and accidentally affected Lu Yun, killing him, that would be for the best! But he also knew that neither the twelve Ancestral Witches nor Nuwa would ever allow Lu Yun to be killed.

Moreover, the monstrous merit on Lu Yun would also make Laozi and the others secretly wary, not daring to act rashly; after all, the backlash of Karma was truly too great! But Baize felt that this was already the best time to act.

If this continued, who knew if Lu Yun would obtain even more merit, making it even harder to act later! Thinking of this, Baize suddenly gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission to Laozi: "Taiqing Saint, if you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences!"

He felt that if Laozi wanted to act, Nuwa's Lotus Lantern would not be able to protect Lu Yun! And as soon as he said this, before Laozi had any reaction, Nuwa was already glaring at Baize!

Clearly, as a Saint, Nuwa had detected his voice transmission! Although Nuwa did not know exactly what Baize had said, she guessed the intention behind Baize's voice transmission to Laozi at this moment.

Not only Nuwa, but Yuanshi and Tongtian also detected it at the same time, and they also guessed Baize's intention.

However, their reactions were different.

Yuanshi was the first to prepare, waiting for Laozi to act so that he could immediately assist him.

Tongtian, on the other hand, frowned slightly and glanced at Baize with some displeasure.

As for the twelve Ancestral Witches, although they did not detect Baize's voice transmission, they vaguely guessed something from the subtle reactions of the few Saints, and one by one, they secretly became guarded.

Zhunti also detected Baize's voice transmission and was slightly stunned, but in the blink of an eye, he had deduced the key to it! He had actually already seen the subtle situation between the Three Teachings and Nuwa, but he was somewhat surprised as to why Baize wanted to push Laozi to get rid of Lu Yun.

Could it be because he felt that this Lu Yun might threaten the Demon Race?

However, Zhunti did not care about that at this moment; he was just thinking quickly: could he profit from this?

And in just an instant, he had thought of the key.

"Ahem!"

Zhunti suddenly coughed lightly and looked at Nuwa: "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this poor Daoist feels that this Human Race prodigy has some affinity with my Western Sect!"

As his voice fell, the gazes of everyone around fell upon him in unison!

The gazes of Laozi and Yuanshi turned slightly cold.

They naturally understood that Zhunti's implication was that if Nuwa allowed Lu Yun to join the Western Sect, he would likewise act to help Nuwa protect Lu Yun, and even the other Saint of his Western Sect, Jieyin, would also act!

By then, they would not necessarily have to fear the Three Teachings! Nuwa naturally understood Zhunti's meaning as well.

She also had not expected that Zhunti would value Lu Yun so much!

However, thinking of the monstrous merit on Lu Yun, and then thinking of the Heavenly Dao Merit owed by the Western Two Sages, she suddenly understood.

She could not help but deliberate over Zhunti's proposal.

Although she was somewhat unwilling for Lu Yun to join the Western Sect, given the current situation, if the Three Teachings were determined to act against Lu Yun, she alone would certainly not be able to stop them; it seemed she could only agree to Zhunti's request! Thinking of this, she could not help but feel unwilling.

Just at this moment, Laozi suddenly spoke: "Junior Sister Nuwa, this poor Daoist feels that this Human Race has more affinity with my Ren Sect! If Junior Sister is willing to persuade him to join the Ren Sect, this poor Daoist can take out the Off-Ground Flame Flag as a treasure to protect him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Tongtian's face lit up with joy, and he cast an appreciative look at his elder brother.

Clearly, such a choice by Laozi made Tongtian feel it was extremely appropriate!

Yuanshi's expression stiffened slightly, and he sighed silently in his heart, feeling somewhat disappointed.

To be honest, he really did not like Lu Yun and felt he was not worthy of joining the Three Teachings. More importantly, if Laozi did not want to act against Lu Yun, they could not take this opportunity to deal with the twelve Ancestral Witches together.

But he also had to admit that Lu Yun possessed great merit; if he joined his eldest brother's Ren Sect, it would be of no small help to his eldest brother, and the Human Race Luck that his eldest brother had previously lost could also be doubled and replenished, which could be considered a good thing.

Zhunti's face, however, could not help but darken; he had not expected Laozi to be so generous, willing to take out a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure as a bargaining chip just to snatch Lu Yun as a disciple! However, he quickly gritted his teeth and said: "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, if this Human Race can join my Western Sect, both this poor Daoist and my senior brother will teach him with all our hearts. Furthermore, we can also take out a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure for him!" Although the spiritual treasures in the hands of the Western Two Sages were far less abundant than those of the Three Teachings, in order to take in someone with such great merit as Lu Yun, he was going all out!

Upon hearing this, Tongtian could not help but feel somewhat displeased; he snorted coldly and said: "If Lu Yun joins my eldest brother's sect, we of the Three Teachings can likewise teach him together!"

Hearing this, Yuanshi could not help but glance at Tongtian, feeling displeased by his acting on his own authority. But Yuanshi did not flare up, merely keeping a calm expression.

In the distance, within the Zhushan Tribe, Duobao, Xuandu, and Guangchengzi were also stunned.

To be rewarded with a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure upon entry, and to be taught by the Three Teachings together!

Such treatment was something even the three of them had never possessed!

If Lu Yun really agreed to join the Ren Sect, wouldn't he become the chief disciple of the Three Teachings!

Guangchengzi was suddenly consumed by jealousy, and he could not help but clench his fists in secret.

But he dared not voice any opinion and could only hold it in his heart! Baize was somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.

How could it be like this? He had not expected that his voice transmission to Laozi to make a decision was meant to have Laozi act against Lu Yun immediately; he had not expected the situation to evolve into the Western Two Sages and the Three Teachings fighting over Lu Yun as a disciple!

How could this be?!

If Lu Yun really joined either side, their Demon Race would have one more layer of concern if they wanted to act in the future!

Yet, at this moment, Baize did not dare to speak up again, fearing that he would annoy Nuwa and have her act against him directly!

He could only watch anxiously.

The scene fell into silence once again.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was gathered on Nuwa, waiting for her to make a decision.

Nuwa frowned.

She also had not expected that the situation would evolve into this state! Seeing that both the Three Teachings and the Western Two Sages valued Lu Yun so much, she could not feel happy at all.

Because at this moment, whether it was Laozi or Zhunti, in essence, they were both coercing her to compromise! This made her very displeased.

Yet, no matter how she thought it over, she could not think of any other way to respond, and for a time, she could only remain silent.

Laozi and Zhunti did not urge her either; they simply watched her, waiting for her to make a decision.

The members of the Transmigration Chat Group, who were watching the live broadcast, were all getting excited at this moment.

Liu Chongxiao: "Hahaha, Lu Yun really has so much prestige!"

Jiang Ye: "Hehe, to actually have the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages fighting over who gets to take him as a disciple—he truly is worthy of being in the same group as me!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Why do I suddenly feel that if Lu Yun were to become a disciple under these Saints, it would actually be quite good!"

Qiu Wanli: "Bullshit! We transmigrators must independently Proving the Dao; how could we take others as masters?"

Lin Chen: "Give it a rest, Qiu! You just don't have the opportunity. If you were given the chance to take a Great Sage of the Primordial as your master, I don't believe you would be so tough!"

Ling Yan: "Indeed! Not to mention, just by taking a master, one could obtain a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure; such a good thing is truly enviable!"

Fang Wenjie: "Envious, jealous, and hateful!"

Chen Hai: "We are all newcomers, why wasn't it me who was favored by the Saints!"

Zhou Yu: "We have all been excited for ages, so how is it that Lu Yun can still sit there so calmly? Could it be that he is once again comprehending the Dao?"

Lin Yan: "His comprehension ability couldn't possibly be that terrifying, could it!"

……

In fact, Lu Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment, was indeed comprehending the Dao!

This was because he had just silently opened the two Rare Treasure Chests he had obtained! From these two chests, he had opened two rather good items.

One of them was a talent named: Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity! After activating this talent, he could actually foresee danger; even if just a single thought appeared in his mind, he could perceive whether doing so would be auspicious or ominous!

And inside the other chest, he had opened a powerful Supernatural Power—Dharma Heaven and Earth! The so-called Dharma Heaven and Earth is the pinnacle of physical body Supernatural Powers, created by the twelve Ancestral Witches based on the Wu Clan; it cannot be cultivated by those without a powerful physical body.

As it happened, Lu Yun was cultivating Star Transformation, and his physical body had been constantly tempered; it was not inferior to the Wu Clan of the same realm, and was even significantly stronger than those who cultivated Mysterious Gate Immortal Arts.

This Dharma Heaven and Earth was simply perfect for him right now! He actually knew that Nuwa and the others were arguing, but according to the "Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity" talent he had just obtained, he sensed that he did not seem to be in any danger at the moment, so he decisively began to cultivate Dharma Heaven and Earth! Regardless of anything else, becoming stronger is always the right choice! (End of chapter)
