Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 364 - 319, Nuwa Inquires

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Zhunyi said, "Not to keep anything from my two senior brothers, there is another matter we have come to discuss this time."

Taishang and Primordial both looked towards Zhunti.

Zhunyi glanced over the crowd and spoke gently, "I would like to invite the two senior brothers to join hands with me in breaking the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Jie Sect."

Primordial’s gaze turned fierce as he looked at Zhunti and spoke coldly, "What are you trying to do?"

Zhunti, with a smile, said, "Senior Brother, as your junior brother, what ill intentions could I possibly have? I am merely worried for you.

Senior Brother, you wish to eradicate the Jie Sect and disperse Jie Sect’s Destiny, but now, the strength of the Jie Sect far exceeds my expectations. It is impossible for the Second Generation Disciples alone to overcome the Jie Sect, hence we must take action ourselves."

He sighed deeply and said, "Not to hide from you, Senior Brother, I am genuinely scared. This time, the Jie Sect destroyed the cultivation of the disciples of the Western Sect in one fell swoop; what will they do next? I fear they will slay the disciples of the Western Sect.

Those are all Direct Disciples I personally nurtured! How can I bear it? Now I wish for nothing more but to survive the Calamity at the earliest; even taking action myself is an acceptable sacrifice. I beg for Senior Brother’s permission."

"Bang—" Primordial Venerable suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Zhunti, Tongtian is my brother, even if he has gone astray, I as the eldest can eradicate the Jie Sect, and Taishang can eradicate the Jie Sect, but nobody else may!

If any of you dare to bully my junior brother by taking action personally, I will never stand down."

The smile on Zhunti’s face stiffened, and then he sighed, "I and Senior Brother are also brothers, I understand this fraternal bond, but some things must be done. Senior Brother, it is wise to make strategic plans early."

Primordial Venerable was about to shout in anger.

Taishang had already stood up and said, "The two of you, follow me to fetch the elixirs."

Zhunti, along with Jieyin, stood up to follow Taishang, and Primordial sat alone under the tea tree, his expression solemn.

After a moment, Taishang returned and sat opposite Primordial, and kindly asked, "Are you angry?"

Primordial spoke somberly, "Big Brother, Zhunti is right. To save Third Brother, we must destroy the Jie Sect. Please join hands with me."

Taishang, with a hand on his forehead, said, "Decide for yourself! I have a headache."

Primordial pondered for a moment and said, "For the time being, let’s observe Bai Jin’s strategy. If he can send all the Direct Disciples of the Jie Sect to the top of the list, then there is no need for us to take action."

Taishang reminded, "What the Western Sect intends to scheme for is probably Jie Sect’s Destiny, the Jie Sect Disciples, thereby promoting the growth of the Western Sect."

Primordial Venerable pondered and said, "The Mysterious Sect under Heaven is one family; whether it is the prosperity of the Jie Sect or the growth of the Western Sect, in the end, it is the Daoist lineage of the Mysterious Sect, which does no harm."

...

Jieyin and Zhunti returned to the Outer Pure Land, walking along the lush green trail.

Jieyin held Prayer Beads in his hand and regretfully said, "Junior Brother, your plan fell through; Primordial refused your proposal."

Zhunti smiled and said, "Fell through? I never hoped for Primordial to agree in the first place."

"Oh?" Jieyin looked at Zhunti with curiosity and asked, "Why so?"

Zhunti spoke with a smile, "For now, I have merely planted a thought in Senior Brother Yuan Shi. The next time the Jie Sect Disciples suppress the Chan Sect again, this thought will come to Senior Brother Yuan Shi’s mind and grow heavier until he personally engages, prompting a grand battle among The Three Pure Ones. That will be our time to take the stage, and the Western Sect will rise as a result.

Furthermore, by asking them to join hands now, it is the Western Sect accruing a debt of karma to the Chan Sect and Human Sect, which is highly improper.

Next time, it should be them coming to us for assistance. Then it will be they who owe us a debt of karma."

Guidance smiled joyously, saying, "Our Western Sect shall thrive thanks to junior brother."

...

Elsewhere, Bai Jin, having been brought back to the Jie Sect by Tongtian, was immediately ordered to return to the edge of the Three Lights Immortal Island, with strict instructions not to step out of the East Sea.

On the Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin lay on a sun lounger, basking in the sun. Even without Master’s strict orders, he didn’t plan on going anywhere. What needed to be done had been done, and for the rest, he would leave it to fate!

Under the warm sun, Bai Jin drifted off into a drowsy sleep and upon waking, found himself in the Wa Emperor Heaven.

Nuwa sat atop her Cloud Bed, looking down at Bai Jin.

Bai Jin hurriedly knelt down respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Niangniang! May you be auspicious and wish-fulfilling." He couldn’t help but raise his head and blurt out, "Niangniang, have you changed?"

Nuwa replied indifferently, "Changed in what way?"

Bai Jin held back his laughter and softly recited, "Once intoxicated by a myriad blooms, your natural beauty eclipses both sun and moon; now why does your brow wear such sorrow, like crystal and jade bones emitting a cold frost?" frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Nuwa couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile, then resumed her cool demeanor and said, "Stop the flattery.

I want to ask you, have you been ensnared by the ploy of the Western Sect?"

"Reporting to Niangniang: it’s not a big deal. According to Junior Master Zhunti, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Why didn’t you inform me?"

Bai Jin stood up and scurried to sit on the familiar Nuwa Stone, massaging Nuwa’s legs while laughing, "Such a trivial matter is not worth troubling you over, Niangniang."

Nuwa said in a cold voice, "A trivial matter that alarmed The Three Pure Ones to beat the Western Two Saints? Why not confess truthfully?"

"Reporting to Niangniang: it truly was a misunderstanding. Junior Master Zhunti said Yun Xiao has a destiny with the Western Sect. He intended to convert Yun Xiao to practice in the Western Sect, but by some mishap, the conversion happened to me instead."

"Zhunti again?!" Nu Wan scowled slightly and said, "When a Saint takes action to deceive, there’s no room for error. He’s up to no good."

Bai Jin, looking completely harmless, naively said, "But Niangniang, Junior Master Zhunti seemed quite sincere!"

Nuwa reached out and tapped Bai Jin’s head, speaking with irritation, "You! You’re just too naive—when the time comes, you won’t even know how you died."

Bai Jin smiled proudly and said, "Isn’t that what Niangniang is for? With you looking out for me, I can walk sideways through the Primordial World."

Nuwa spoke leisurely, "I can’t manage you all the time. I ordered you to seclude yourself in Nuwa Palace, yet you didn’t heed my words and voluntarily walked into calamity, attracting disasters.

After being manipulated, you informed The Three Pure Ones but not me, when did you begin to disregard your Master?"

A jolt of fear struck Bai Jin’s heart; the most critical moment had arrived. Thankfully, I am prepared, and he quickly said, "Please don’t be angry, Niangniang. I have something to say."

"Oh? What do you want to say?"

Bai Jin spoke earnestly, "In truth, Niangniang, you are the most important in my heart.

I didn’t inform you because I didn’t want you to get involved in the struggles. You dwell beyond the heavens, supremely noble, worshipped by countless beings of the Primordial World.

In my eyes, you should remain gracefully dignified, looking down upon all beings. Battle and brawling are far too crude for someone like you, which is why I didn’t inform you."

Nuwa’s expression softened as she asked, "Do you truly think so?"

Bai Jin nodded repeatedly and earnestly looked at Nuwa, "My fidelity to Niangniang is complete! Niangniang, behold my sincere and big-eyed gaze." He blinked his large, innocent eyes at Nuwa.
