Chapter 371 The Two Saints Leave the Mountain
Zixiao Palace.

When Zhunti Taoist heard that the Taoist Ancestor did not agree to re-cultivate the earth, fire, water and wind and re-establish the prehistoric world, his heart trembled instantly.

He should have thought of it earlier.

Hongjun used them to restrain the other saints in order to smoothly conform to the Way of Heaven.

The checks and balances among the saints can prevent one from becoming too powerful, forcibly re-cultivating the Honghuang, and taking the opportunity to interfere with Hongjun's Hedao.

If Honghuang is to be refined again, the progress of Hongjun's unity with the Heavenly Dao will have to start from the beginning.

"Disciple understands. Senior Brother Jieyin and I will do our best to contain Nuwa and Tongtian so that Master will not have to worry about anything."

Zhunti said.

Hongjun showed a look of relief and was about to say something when he suddenly felt the heaven and earth shaking.

He hurriedly sensed the heaven and earth and realized that a golden lotus shadow suddenly rose in the center of the wilderness.

Taoist Zhunti: "Master, it is the aura of the Golden Lotus of Merit, but how can it look like this?"

Hongjun thought for a moment and understood the cause and effect: "If it was really Yang Jian who did it, what you saw was the projection of the Mountain and River State Map in the prehistoric world. After the Mountain and River State Map was refined into the Investiture of the Gods, it defined the prehistoric world and was closely connected with the prehistoric world. It must be Yang Jian who refined the Golden Lotus of Merit into the Investiture of the Gods, which led to this strange phenomenon."

"Yang Jian has no respect for his elders. He relies on the protection of Nuwa and Tongtian to frequently attack our Western Religion. This is not only a slap in the face of the saint, but also a slap in the face of Master. Please allow Master to let me take action to kill Yang Jian and let Yuxu Palace take charge of the Conferred God List."

Taoist Zhunti said angrily.

The hatred towards Yang Jian has reached an unprecedented level.

"Face, hey, where is the face? You guys have played with this thing to the extreme. When your disciples bully the other sects, they use your name. If the other sects don't obey, it means you are not giving face to the saint. You want to have a legitimate reason to take action. Now you use this method on me. Do you really think I am deaf and blind?"

Hongjun asked back.

"Master~"

Zhunti was about to explain, but was interrupted by Hongjun: "Your face is not given by others, but you lost it yourself. I said that saints should not interfere in the fate of the Conferred Gods, and I have already turned a blind eye to you and Jie Yin, allowing you to convert disciples all over the prehistoric world. Didn't half of the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect have half a foot in your Western Sect? In the end, you ended up losing the treasure that made you famous."

"Master, Yang Jian has already violated the order set by Master that Hunyuan will not fall into the calamity. Previously, he relied on the purple-gold red gourd to attack Yuqing Daoist Fellow's disciple Nan Ji. Now, fellow Lu Ya is still trapped in the purple-gold red gourd and cannot escape."

Zhunti argued.

"Order? In your eyes, is the level of cultivation everything?" Hongjun said, "You should obey those who have higher cultivation than you, but you trample on all living beings without hesitation? I used to dislike Yang Jian very much and put him to death. Who would have thought that this kid would be lucky enough to crawl out? Now I like him a lot, and you are not allowed to touch him."

Yang Jian's actions of holding the banners together have greatly promoted the accumulation of merit and karma, which has a great impact on Hongjun's progress in achieving harmony with the Tao in recent days and Yang Jian's actions.

With Yang Jian around, his progress in achieving the Dao will certainly be accelerated. What was originally going to take tens of thousands of years will now be accomplished within a few thousand years.

This was also the reason why he strongly opposed Zhunti’s previous proposal to re-refine the primordial world.

The achievement of He Dao is right before his eyes. There is no need for him to make such a great sacrifice for the two saints. These two guys are just pawns used for checks and balances. All the goals are to achieve He Dao.

So Hongjun would protect Yang Jian no matter what.

Zhunti was extremely upset, but did not dare to show it at all on his face.

Hongjun’s meaning was clearly that neither this nor that was allowed.

There was a hint of intent in his words that he and Jie Yin should be killed.

He believed in his heart that if Hongjun had to choose to abandon the two saints Zhunti and Jie Yin in exchange for the success of the He Dao, then Hongjun would definitely take them in without hesitation.

This is the situation right now.

Zhunti secretly clenched his fists, and under the torment of the wildfire, he decided that Yang Jian must die. Even if it would bring him infamy, he would make Yang Jian's soul fly away.

After all, Hongjun had said it before, and he had earned his face himself.

He, Zhunti, was about to kill Yang Jian to serve as a warning to others and let all living beings in the prehistoric world know the consequences of disrespecting the saints.

"Disciple, I'll take my leave." Zhunti bowed.

Hongjun saw the resentment in Zhunti's heart and said immediately: "I think you don't need to guard Mount Xumi anymore. Call Jieyin and come to Zixiao Palace to practice Taoism in peace."

Zhunti was shocked: "Without us, the disciples in Leiyin Ancient Temple will be~"

"What disciple? Mount Xumi will be incorporated into the Heavenly Palace. You can be the master of the West. As for the intermediate fruition, you can arrange it yourself."

Hongjun looked at him coldly, his decision was unquestionable.

"The disciple understands."

The Taoist Master Zhunti bowed and withdrew.

~~~~
The news that the two saints from the West were going to enter the Zixiao Palace soon reached the ears of the other saints.

The huge property of Mount Xumi thus became ownerless.

Under this shocking news, the impact of the power of merit was largely diluted.

The impact is more of a long-lasting one rather than a world-shaking one like Mount Sumeru.

The departure of the two saints from the mountain meant that the struggle in this catastrophe was completely defeated. On the other hand, the mutation of the Golden Lotus of Merit cut off the foundation of the Western Religion.

Originally, the two saints relied on the Golden Lotus of Merit to monopolize merit and attract countless creatures from the ancient world to climb Mount Xumi and become disciples of the Western Religion.

Now there is no need to go to Mount Sumeru anymore. As long as you do more good deeds, you will have merits, which will promote your practice and increase your blessings and fortune.

In an instant, most of the powerful people in the prehistoric world rushed towards Xiniu Hezhou.

They want to seize the blessed land and become the master of Mount Xumi.

After all, the two saints in the West built an excellent framework for Mount Sumeru, but their disciples were not talented enough, so those high positions were left vacant.

After the Golden Lotus of Merit was integrated into the List of Gods, the throne of Mount Xumi instantly appeared on the List of Gods. It appeared earlier than the throne of Heaven and became the focus of everyone's competition.

After all, the Heavenly Court still doesn’t know how the ranking will be done, but Mount Xumi does have a carrot pit ready, just waiting for the carrot.

Among them, the fastest action was that of the Chan sect.

After all, Yuanshi Tianzun is relatively close to the Two Saints of the West, so he naturally gets the news faster and can make arrangements quickly.

The Chan sect sent out the Taoist priest Dipankara, who occupied Mount Sumeru, converted to Buddhism, and passed down the Buddhist scripture "The Heart Sutra".

As long as believers recite this sutra over the years, they can receive the protection of the Buddha Dipamkara and accumulate merits.

Those who went to Mount Xumi with Randang included the Taoist masters Samantabhadra, Manjusri, Cihang, and Juliusun.

Except for Juliusun who called himself a Buddha, all other Taoists inherited the Bodhisattva status.

This kind of competition to be on the list is a rare sight in the ancient times.

Originally, many immortals thought that the List of Gods was something that should be avoided.

Only then did they realize that the reason why the orthodox Xuanmen sects avoided them was because they were worried that their status would not be high after being included in the list and they would no longer be able to abuse their power.

As soon as the high position of Mount Xumi was revealed, all the orthodox sects of the Xuanmen could not wait.

Even the Jiejiao sect was a step slower.

What’s more, there are those immortals from other sects.

　My work and rest schedule was irregular during the National Day holiday, and I have to go to work today, so I stayed up all night to adjust my schedule. I also wrote today's update and posted it directly without waiting until the evening.
