Chapter 17 Xuan Chu's Desire to Plot Against the Human Race
Chapter Seventeen: Xuan Chu's Plot Against the Human Race
Nuwa created the human race and attained the status of a Heavenly Saint. A thousand years later, she preached in the Chaos Nuwa Palace, and all the beings in the primordial world attached great importance to this sage's preaching and began to prepare to go and listen to the teachings. Tongtian also came to the Pangu Palace to ask Xuan Chu for his opinion.
Xuan Chu was fully aware of Tong Tian's ulterior motives, but he didn't care. After all, Tong Tian's presence at the Pangu Palace was enough to show that Tong Tian respected him.
"Tongtian, I heard that you left Kunlun Mountain?" After telling Tongtian about hearing the Dao, Xuan Chu asked him about leaving Kunlun Mountain.
Speaking of this matter, Tongtian became angry and said, "Uncle, this matter is not Tongtian's fault. It was Yuanshi who went too far, and Taishang, my elder brother, was biased towards Yuanshi. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I left Kunlun Mountain." Then, Tongtian told Xuanchu the whole story in detail.
Xuan Chu shook his head repeatedly, both amused and exasperated. He finally understood. Although Yuan Shi claimed that the break between the Three Pure Ones was due to Tong Tian's disrespect for his elders, the truth was that Yuan Shi had learned of Tong Tian's contact with him and was worried that Tong Tian's actions would incur Heavenly punishment, implicating him and Tai Shang. To protect himself, he made the decision to break with Tong Tian. Ultimately, the reason was that Yuan Shi valued the position of a Heavenly Saint too much, even more than the brotherhood he had shared with Tong Tian and Tai Shang for countless eons. Today it was Tong Tian, but if Tai Shang posed a threat to Yuan Shi in the future, Yuan Shi would not hesitate to betray Tai Shang.
As for Taishang, Tongtian said he was biased and gullible towards Yuanshi, but Xuan Chu didn't think so. Among the Three Pure Ones, Taishang's thoughts were the most scheming. His so-called Dao of Non-Action was just a deception. During the Investiture of the Gods war in the previous life, would Yuanshi have dared to collude with the two Western Saints to plot against Tongtian without Taishang's tacit approval? He certainly wouldn't have dared. In fact, Taishang was also very wary of Tongtian, which led to the two great battles of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
"Alright, I understand this matter. Since things have come to this point, let's just separate. Maybe this is actually a good thing for you," Xuan Chu said. The separation of the Three Pure Ones might really be a good thing for Tongtian. In his previous life, after the Three Pure Ones became saints, although they separated due to differences in their principles, they did not reach the point of a complete break. As a result, during the Investiture of the Gods, Tongtian still fantasized that his two good brothers would show mercy to the Jie Sect, which almost led to the destruction of the entire Jie Sect. Now that they have separated in advance, Tongtian might be less likely to be schemed against.
"Uncle is right. Since Taishang and Yuanshi look down on me, Tongtian, then I, Tongtian, will not serve them either." Tongtian said with a resentful expression. Although he said this, he was still very annoyed. After all, his brothers who had been together for hundreds of millions of years had fallen out like this, and Tongtian was also very uncomfortable.
"Alright, go and prepare for the ceremony. The Pangu Palace is not a place for you to linger, lest you be discovered and ruin everything," Xuan Chu said to Tong Tian.
"Yes, Uncle," Tongtian replied.
After Tongtian left, Xuan Chu was still thinking about the mess between Tongtian, Taishang, and Yuanshi. Taishang and Yuanshi reacted so strongly after learning that Tongtian had been to Pangu Palace, even going so far as to abandon their status as the Three Pure Ones and break with Tongtian. This shows that Taishang and Yuanshi were determined to follow Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
Of course, the main reason why Taishang and Yuanshi were so devoted to following Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao was that they did not know Hongjun's true nature, and they were also unaware of their own strength. Therefore, they dared not gamble. After all, on one side was the certainty of becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint, and on the other side was their nominal uncle and an uncertain future. No one dared to take the risk.
However, Xuan Chu believed that as long as Tai Shang and Yuan Shi came to Pangu Palace, they would definitely change their minds. But as soon as they heard that Tong Tian was going to Pangu Palace, they broke with Tong Tian without asking any questions. It was impossible for them to come to Pangu Palace willingly and voluntarily. However, as an elder and a powerful being at the peak of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, Xuan Chu would not take the initiative to come to them. Therefore, Tai Shang and Yuan Shi could basically be given up.
Thinking of this, Xuan Chu turned his gaze towards the East Sea. No one knew better than him how much potential the human race, which Nuwa casually created to become a saint, had. Due to their respective limitations, the Wu and Yao races could never become the protagonists of heaven and earth. Their ability to dominate an era was merely a necessity for the Great Tribulation. Although with Xuan Chu around, the Wu race would most likely not decline like in the previous life, but it was impossible for them to become the protagonists of heaven and earth. The future protagonists of heaven and earth would probably fall to the human race, just like in the previous life.
In this way, in order to compete for the future dominance in the primordial world, Xuan Chu had to make plans in advance and strive for more of the human race's fortune.
"Supreme Lord, since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for taking away your fortune." After Nuwa became a saint, the Supreme Lord would spread the teachings of the human race, establish the Human Religion based on the human race, and become the head of all saints by relying on his own foundation and the fortune of the human race. Because the human race exists, the Human Religion is not afraid of being destroyed. Therefore, Xuan Chu planned to take action against the Supreme Lord's Human Religion. This way, he could strengthen his own side and weaken the Xuanmen. Without the fortune of the human race from the Human Religion, it would not be so easy for Hongjun to control the human race.
A thousand years later, all living beings in the primordial world flocked to the Chaos Nuwa Palace. With the arrival of so many cultivators, Nuwa, as a saint, certainly wouldn't personally greet them, so this arduous task fell to Nuwa's brother, Fuxi.
Fuxi acted like a host, welcoming and seeing off each cultivator and arranging seats for them. The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West, as fellow disciples of Nuwa, were naturally seated in the first row.
Upon seeing Taishang and Yuanshi, Tongtian completely ignored them, not even bothering to greet them. Seeing this, Yuanshi was furious and whispered to Taishang, "Brother, Tongtian is far too presumptuous. Even if we are not his elder brothers now, we are still his fellow disciples. How dare he ignore us? He is utterly despicable."
Looking at the ferocious appearance of the Primordial One, Taishang sighed inwardly and said to the Primordial One, "Second Brother, Tongtian is no longer the younger brother we can discipline at will. Now, with everyone watching, we must not become a laughing stock."
Taishang was also afraid that Yuanshi might do something rash. If Tongtian didn't give them face and the two of them caused a scene at Nuwa's Palace, they would not only lose face but also offend Nuwa. After all, this was no different from causing trouble. Moreover, Taishang knew very well that Tongtian was no longer one of them. Although Taishang didn't know what Tongtian had obtained in the Pangu Palace over the past ten thousand years, he must have had a great opportunity. Otherwise, with Tongtian's strength, he would not have been able to be injured by the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
"Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing," Yuanshi said through gritted teeth. Although he was so angry he wanted to devour Tongtian, he still had to consider the impact in public.
The discord among the Three Pure Ones was observed by Jieyin and Zhunti.
Zhunti quietly said to Jieyin, "Senior brother, it seems there's a problem among the Three Pure Ones. They seem like enemies. Moreover, I heard that Tongtian has left Kunlun Mountain and gone to the East Sea to establish his own Daoist temple. Do you think the Three Pure Ones have fallen out?"
Jieyin glanced at the Three Pure Ones and whispered, "It should be true. Tongtian and I have known each other for many years and we understand him. He has always followed the lead of Taishang and Yuanshi. Now that he has suddenly left Kunlun Mountain, it must be because he has fallen out with Taishang and Yuanshi."
"If that's really the case, then that's wonderful! The Three Pure Ones have broken up, which is a great joy for us in the West!" Zhunti said excitedly. Since the war between the Dao and the Demon, the spiritual veins of the West have been damaged, leaving it desolate. That's why Zhunti would come to the East every now and then to beg for alms. In the past, the Three Pure Ones were the biggest obstacle for Zhunti to beg for alms, but now that the Three Pure Ones have broken up, it will be much easier for him to come to the East in the future.
