Chapter 824 Shifting the Blame Eastward, Lao Tzu's Primordial Reaction!
In an instant, all living beings in the primordial world understood.
Everyone understood the sage's intention.
Divert trouble to the east!
These four words appeared clearly in the minds of every living being!
Knowing full well that he was no match for Nuwa and couldn't escape far, he decided to go all out and head straight for Kunlun Mountain, hoping to drag Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laozi down with him!
With the help of the two of them, we can fight against the enraged Nuwa!
"hiss……"
After realizing this, countless powerful beings felt their scalps tingle and a chill ran from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.
ruthless!
Too bad!
This is not just simple shamelessness, it's downright ruthless to the point of betraying even one's own people!
It should be understood that Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, and Jie Yin are now undoubtedly in the same camp.
But now, in order to save his own life, Jieyin sold them both without hesitation!
"I...I'm numb, completely numb."
A near-saintly being muttered to himself, feeling that his worldview had been repeatedly crushed, reshaped, and then crushed again today.
In their hearts, sages are supreme beings, whose words are law and whose existence is indestructible.
But today, they first saw the Sage Zhunti being tricked to death by a mere mortal, then they saw the Sage Jieyin being chased by Nuwa like a stray dog, and now, in order to save their own lives, they are willing to shift the blame and harm their fellow disciples!
The dignity of a saint?
When faced with the choice of survival, what are those things? Can you eat them?
In an instant, the understanding of the word "sage" by countless living beings underwent a dramatic change.
And the other side.
Just as the beings of the primordial world were shocked by the shameless operation of the guide.
On the distant eastern continent, atop the supreme divine mountain that pierces the heavens and earth, lies the Kunlun Mountains.
Inside the Jade Void Palace.
On the cloud bed, two figures with profound auras and natural Daoist charm sat cross-legged.
One of them, with white hair and a youthful face, governed by non-action, seemingly integrated with the Dao of Heaven and Earth; this was none other than Lao Tzu.
The other one had a majestic face and was surrounded by a sharp aura that seemed to have created the world; he was none other than the leader of the Chan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun.
Before them, a water mirror hung high, clearly reflecting the scenes of Nuwa chasing and killing Jieyin in the starry sky.
Clearly, these two sages had been paying attention to this matter from the moment Nuwa intervened.
When they saw the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit that guided the Bodhisattva be cracked by Nuwa's palm strike, even they, with their calm minds, couldn't help but feel a ripple of emotion.
But when they saw that Jieyin had changed direction and was rushing straight towards Kunlun Mountain...
"Bastard!"
A furious shout suddenly rang out within the Jade Void Palace!
The Primordial Celestial Venerable suddenly opened his eyes, and his majestic face instantly turned so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
His aura surged violently, and his fierce killing intent almost tore the entire Jade Void Palace apart!
"He dares to guide that scoundrel!"
Yuanshi Tianzun was furious. He was extremely arrogant and considered himself the true descendant of Pangu. He had always looked down on the two "barbarian" saints from the West.
But now, this barbarian in his eyes actually dares to set his sights on Kunlun Mountain!
This is no longer a simple scheme; it's a blatant humiliation!
It's about ruthlessly trampling and rubbing the faces of the Three Pure Ones underfoot!
"Brother!"
Yuanshi Tianzun abruptly turned his head, looked at Taishang Laozi who was still sitting quietly with his eyes closed beside him, and said angrily:
"Did you see that? He's trying to use my Kunlun Mountains as a refuge! He's using us as a shield!"
"They're trying to drag us both down with them!"
However, faced with the overwhelming rage of Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laozi simply opened his eyes slowly.
His eyes, usually calm and still, also held a hint of gloom, but more than that, they reflected a deep sense of helplessness and weariness.
He sighed softly.
This sigh, seemingly containing endless vicissitudes and profound truths, instantly calmed the turbulent atmosphere within the Jade Void Palace.
"Second brother, calm down."
Lao Tzu spoke slowly.
"Calm down?" Yuanshi Tianzun was almost laughing in anger.
"Brother! That guy is almost at our doorstep! How can I remain calm? Are we really going to just stand by and watch him bring disaster upon us, making Kunlun Mountain a laughingstock throughout the entire prehistoric world?"
Lao Tzu shook his head and asked in return:
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly.
"We should act immediately and stop him outside Kunlun Mountain! Let him face Nuwa's wrath himself!"
"bar?"
Lao Tzu shook his head again, this time with a hint of heaviness in his voice.
How to stop them?
"At this moment, Nuwa was furious and attacked with earth-shattering power."
“If we step forward to obstruct her guidance, it would be tantamount to directly standing against Nuwa and becoming her enemy.”
"Can the two of us hold off a Nuwa who has gone completely mad without damaging our foundation?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was speechless.
Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid.
He had just seen Nuwa's power clearly.
With a single palm strike, he shattered the Eight Treasures Merit Pool!
What terrifying power this is!
In a one-on-one fight, he had no confidence that he could defeat Nuwa at this moment.
Even if they join forces with their elder brother, they can probably only barely suppress it, but that would create a huge rift between the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa!
Is it worth it for a referral?
The anger of the Primordial Celestial Venerable gradually subsided, but the resentment in his heart grew stronger.
He slammed his fist on the jade table in front of him in anger, gritting his teeth and saying, "Am I really going to let him scheme against me? I can't swallow this!"
Lao Tzu looked at him and sighed for the third time.
Even if you can't swallow it, you have to.
"Junior brother, you must understand that Zhunti has already perished."
"This is an unprecedented event since the Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, and the destiny of the primordial world has been in constant turmoil because of it."
"At this critical juncture, if Jieyin were to die and perish as well..."
Lao Tzu did not finish speaking, but Yuan Shi Tian Zun understood Yuan Han's meaning perfectly.
If Jieyin dies again, the Heavenly Dao Saint position will be vacant for two years!
At that time, the operation of the Heavenly Dao in the entire prehistoric world will be greatly disrupted, and the Great Tribulation may even arrive ahead of schedule!
Such consequences would be unbearable for any of them, even for a saint.
Therefore, under no circumstances can Jieyin die.
At least, I can't die at Nuwa's hands now.
Having figured all this out, the anger on Yuanshi Tianzun's face completely disappeared, replaced by a cold, iron-blue expression.
He got it.
From the moment they fled towards Kunlun Mountain, they had no other choice.
Saving someone is like swallowing a fly while holding your nose—it disgusts you and offends Nuwa.
If we don't save them, we'll just watch helplessly as the primordial order collapses and the balance of Heaven is disrupted.
The lesser of two evils.
"I understand."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable squeezed out these words from between his teeth, each word carrying a chilling aura.
Seeing this, Lao Tzu sighed again and slowly stood up.
"That's all."
"Since he dares to come, we will meet him."
"Get ready to make your move."
