Chapter 358: Chapter 301 【Late Realization, The Eternity of Nothingness】 (Request Subscription)_3

Yuanshi Tianzun heard this and immediately said, "As for the Heavenly Dao Saints, it has long been decided; the urgent task now is to find ways to strengthen the Earth Dao and Human Dao!"

"Currently, for the Earth Dao, there are six Saints: Daoists Houtu, Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe, and Yuan Feng. What are your thoughts, Daoist Houtu, on the other two Saint positions?"

Though the Earth Dao is on par with the Heavenly Dao, it can only bear eight Saint positions at most. Since Yuan Feng joined the Earth Dao, only two Saint positions are left.

Houtu thought for a moment, glanced at Xuanqing, and slowly said, "In my possession, there remains a share of the Chaos Origin belonging to the Molten Rock Demon Path. Once Zhu Rong assimilates it, it can secure a Saint position!"

In fact, if it weren’t for Xuanqing’s trickery, replacing Zhu Rong for several yuanhuis of time, Zhu Rong might have already become an Earth Dao Saint!

But then again...

Since Zhu Jiuyin said that past karmas are written off, she must not quarrel with Xuanqing!

Yuanshi Tianzun revealed a knowing smile: "So, there is still one more Saint position! In that case, how about I nominate someone?"

"Who?"

Houtu frowned: "The Earth Dao would not acknowledge just anyone. Primordial Daoist, are you proposing your disciple?"

"No, no!"

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head: "The person I speak of is the Primordial Qilin. He has already achieved Golden Immortal Perfection, and given his mastery of the Wu Earth Great Dao, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the Earth Dao among many Great Powers!"

"This..."

Houtu hesitated immediately.

She knew that the Primordial Qilin was indeed the most suitable Divine Skills user for the Earth Dao, but the deep karma between the other and Yuanshi Tianzun was undeniable.

This act by Yuanshi Tianzun would undoubtedly implant a Heavenly Dao agent within the Earth Dao faction.

Yet she found herself unable to refuse!

Unlike the Heavenly Dao, which has one Saint position reserved for the One that Escaped, the Earth Dao does not.

Once the Earth Dao attains Perfection, her power would also be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, if she were to embody the Earth Dao, the strength she wielded would surpass even the current Yuanshi Tianzun, enough to contend with the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

"Alright!"

After some thought, Houtu agreed, realizing that the Earth Dao attaining Perfection first would benefit her more than it would cause harm and could secure more strength for the Witch Clan.

However, Jieyin Daoist suddenly spoke: "This humble monk has already attained Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. To me, the Earth Dao Saint position is rather cumbersome, and I intend to pass it on to Ksitigarbha!"

Compared to the Taoist Sect, the Buddhist Sect remains too weak in power. Although they possess a Chaos Origin belonging to the Light Demon God, Pharmacist cannot assimilate it in the short term.

Meanwhile, Ksitigarbha, as a direct disciple of the Buddhist Sect, has been enlightening countless souls in the Netherworld for hundreds of yuanhuis. Naturally, Jieyin wants to seek an opportunity for him.

Except, when Ksitigarbha made a grand vow, he swore not to become a Buddha until Hell is empty. For him to assume Jieyin Daoist’s Earth Dao Saint position would require some conveniences from Yuanshi Tianzun and Houtu.

The reason is none other than!

When Ksitigarbha made the grand vow, he requested the Heavenly Dao as a witness, and the vow he made was related to the Netherworld under Houtu’s control.

If Yuanshi Tianzun disagrees, even if he wants to find a loophole, he would face some backlash.

If Houtu disagrees, he wouldn’t even have the chance to find a loophole, for isn’t it up to this Saint to decide whether Hell is empty or not?

"Alright!"

Yuanshi Tianzun did not refuse. With one more Saint battle power in the Primordial times, they could better prepare for future crises.

As for the strengthening of the Buddhist Sect...

As the Master of Heavenly Dao, overseeing innumerable sentient beings, he possesses this level of perspective.

Houtu considered it and did not refuse, nodding her head immediately: "Since Daoist Jieyin has such an idea, this palace is naturally willing to fulfill it!"

"That Ksitigarbha fellow, resolute and stubborn, indeed possesses great determination!"
