237: Chapter 237 Cooperation, Breaking the Shackles

"Blocking our path, drawing swords against the Heavens—do you have the capability for that? He is no longer entirely our teacher. Furthermore, can you guarantee that this isn't a scheme by the Heavenly Dao?"

Jade Pure Primeval Lord of Heaven spoke with a cold expression on his face; the Heavenly Dao's intervention back then had truly terrified him.

It was truly formidable; regardless of whether one was at the Middle Stage of Hun Yuan or the Late Stage of Hun Yuan, none were a match for the Heavenly Dao in a single exchange.

All were transformed into sacrifices for the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, and combined with a large portion of the Primordial World's Origin, the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms were ultimately evolved.

Within the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, by gathering vast amounts of Karma and Luck and gaining the recognition of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, one could attain the Realm of Sub-Saint.

Advancing further beyond the Quasi-Saint, if one could become the World Master of a Great World, their strength would be even more superior.

These were the most powerful existences within the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms and the Primordial World.

These Saints naturally underwent a transformation in strength; unleashing their full power, they could almost possess the strength of Perfected Hun Yuan, but that was as far as it went.

Within the cage that was the Primordial World, unleashing power beyond Hun Yuan would drain Karma and Luck, let alone unleashing the power of Perfected Hun Yuan.

I fear that in an instant, the Karma and Luck on their bodies would be instantly diminished.

Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti now dared not come to the East.

They already owed "debts" to the Heavenly Dao; if they continued to be drained like this, one day they would fall from the Saint Realm.

Tongtian looked at the solemn expression on Jade Pure Primeval Lord of Heaven's face and instead chuckled:

"Heh, Second Brother, although you say that, your actions are completely different. If you had no intention of rebelling, why would you bring that Daoist Xuan You into this world?"

"Below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal, there is no power to resist. The Heavenly Dao may allow them to enter the Primordial World, but are they truly the ones who crossed the Boundless Sea of Chaos to enter the Primordial World?"

There was a hint of mockery on Tongtian's face; this Second Brother appeared not to want to be an enemy of the Heavenly Dao, but in fact, letting that Daoist Xuan You enter the Primordial World was already being an enemy of the Heavenly Dao.

Within the Primordial World, the countless Grand Unity Golden Immortals and billions of living beings that entered the world were all sent in by that Demon Ancestor.

The vast majority of existences, those at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm level, were wiped out by the world, and their Origin and power were integrated into the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Only a small minority barely managed to enter the Primordial World; for those existences below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, the aura and marks belonging to the Demonic Path within them were also purged.

Of course, this purging could not be done immediately; Luo Hou's methods were profound and his Realm was high.

To truly purge them, one would have to keep all living beings who entered the Primordial World under surveillance, eventually waiting for them to reveal a flaw.

These Saints had always done this; once there was any issue, they would immediately inform the Heavenly Dao and use that supreme power to ferret them out.

But now, something was different; his Second Brother not only actively brought him into the Primordial World but also used the power of a Saint to conceal his identity.

His goal was clear at a glance; he also harbored rebellious intentions against the Heavenly Dao.

"Expounding the Heavenly Will, yes, but Heavenly Dao Hongjun has gone too far. I can no longer expound the Heavenly Will; I cannot just sit by and watch my Disciples and followers go to their deaths."

"The Grand Unity Golden Immortals under my command are not like yours, Third Brother, who attained their status through pure, independent cultivation."

Jade Pure Primeval Lord of Heaven sighed; although he was the most rigid, he was not a fool.

Why, when the Heavenly Court had no one left, did the Heavenly Dao derive an Investiture of the Gods plan?

This was naturally impossible; the Heavenly Dao perhaps wanted to watch them rebel, thereby achieving some purpose of its own.

Since that was the case, why not fulfill its wish?

At this moment, Shen Gongbao had already brought Daoist Xuan You into Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Pure Primeval Lord of Heaven looked at the ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal before him, then looked at Shen Gongbao, who was waiting on the side, and said in a deep voice:

"You may withdraw first; I have matters to discuss with this Fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist..."

Shen Gongbao pondered these two words but did not realize what was happening; it was a barrier of perception personally crafted by the power of a Saint.

"Should I call you Xuan You, Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, or perhaps Daoist Jidu?"

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, is identity really that important? You didn't call me here just to talk about this, did you? Regardless of who I am, as long as I am useful to you, isn't that enough?"

"My return this time went so smoothly because of the help of you few. The Heavenly Dao is not simple; back then, it almost got my true self killed. Speak, what is your purpose?"

Jade Pure Primeval Lord of Heaven nodded, and Grand Supreme Elder Lord and Supreme Pure Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable also stepped out from the Void Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, your methods are still so profound, are they not? Dispatching trillions of Incarnations, or perhaps trillions of Puppets, continuously entering the Primordial World—such methods are something even we might not be able to break."

"It is just that the Heavenly Dao is formidable; such methods are not invincible."

"Why don't we cooperate? How about we sever these Heavenly Dao shackles?"

"Cooperation? With just this one Incarnation of mine, I fear it is not enough. Relying on you, the world could strip away all your power in an instant; this is the drawback of being a Saint. How do you intend to sever these shackles?"

"The Demonic Path I left behind in the Primordial World has also been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, and its source is controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Once I attempt to seize authority, it will inevitably cause considerable trouble. And I fear backlash if I try to project my own power across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms."

Luo Hou's expression was a bit solemn; the Heavenly Dao was simply too strong for them.

"That is where you are mistaken. While other things might not work, Fellow Daoist, you could act upon the Human Race."

As soon as these words were spoken, a look of realization dawned on Luo Hou's face.
