Minghe understood at once and immediately laughed, "Exactly. The Heavenly Court will need governance. If the Three Pure Ones don't help, then the Dao Ancestor will surely make a move!"
Jieyin continued, "I heard there's an ultimate innate spiritual treasure called the Heavenly Scroll, also known as the Investiture of the Gods. Tell me, will this Investiture of the Gods have anything to do with us?"
Minghe shook his head, "I am the Ancestor of the Asura tribe. My Asura clan does not enter the tribulation. We suppress the Asura Dao, so it will surely have nothing to do with me!"
"My Western lands are barren, and I have no talented individuals. Haotian will certainly not allow people from the West to enter the Heavenly Court, so it will have nothing to do with my Western lands!" Jieyin said.
Minghe's eyes lit up. Yes, that leaves Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones. Nuwa certainly wouldn't interfere, as the demon race had already declined in the previous tribulation!
Then the responsibility of the Investiture of the Gods would fall upon the Three Pure Ones!
If it escalated to this point, it wouldn't be impossible for it to evolve into a tribulation!
Thinking of this, Minghe glanced at Jieyin. This guy was truly formidable, to see so far ahead!
"Heh, Taiqing Laozi has only one disciple, Xuandu. He certainly won't send him to the heavens. This matter will inevitably fall upon Yuanshi and Tongtian. Yuanshi has only twelve direct disciples. Will Yuanshi then ask Tongtian to send his disciples? After all, Tongtian has many disciples, and they are all 'hairy-faced and horned beings,' aren't they? Yuanshi dislikes the demon race the most. If there are heated words exchanged, their brotherhood might fracture, and we can then take advantage of it!" Jieyin laughed.
Minghe nodded. That's right. At that time, Yuanshi and Tongtian among the Three Pure Ones would inevitably fall out, and their opportunity would arise!
Moreover, this was the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao. After all, the Heavenly Court needed to govern the Great Desolation; how could it not have manpower? At that time...
"Daoist friend, your insight is profound!" Minghe said sincerely.
"Haha, this time I've come hoping to form an alliance with Daoist friend to resist the Three Pure Ones!" Jieyin seized the opportunity to say.
Minghe immediately nodded. Looking at Jieyin, and then at that idiot Zhunti, they were both brothers, yet the difference was so vast! He then said with a smile, "Good, Daoist friend, I, Minghe, agree!"
Their opinions had reached an agreement, but that matter was still some years away, possibly even further. Jieyin then said, "We still need time. Now that the Earth Emperor is about to emerge, we can also stir up some trouble!"
Minghe nodded. Even if Jieyin hadn't said so, he had intended to cause trouble.
He just hadn't had a good idea yet.
"By the way, your good corpse is suppressed in Huoyun Cave. I can accompany Daoist friend to rescue your good corpse!" Jieyin suddenly said. Minghe was overjoyed. After all, if he fought Li Er alone, he could at best draw, and it would be almost impossible to rescue his good corpse!
Now, if Jieyin was willing to help him, then everything would be manageable!
Jieyin was also doing Minghe a favor, as they would be allies in the future!
"Thank you, Daoist friend!" Minghe said again, while also sighing in his heart. Look at Jieyin, so much better than Zhunti. He spoke nicely and could accomplish things. Truly, comparing people makes one want to die, and comparing goods makes one want to be thrown away. Zhunti was truly a younger brother, while Jieyin was clearly the elder brother!
"Daoist friend, you are too polite. We shall first rescue your good corpse. As for matters thereafter, we need to plan in detail!" Jieyin smiled.
Minghe nodded, his impression of Jieyin growing better and better. Yes, this person was good, someone he could associate with. He would truly act when needed!
Thus, the two of them concealed their heavenly secrets, left the Sea of Blood, and headed towards Huoyun Cave.
At this moment, within Huoyun Cave, Li Er said, "Fuxi, you can find a place to live on your own. I believe you understand your mission now!"
Fuxi immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"
Just then, outside Huoyun Cave, Minghe's aura was revealed. Li Er frowned and walked out. Upon seeing Minghe, he sneered, "What? Come to rescue your good corpse? But with just you, it's not enough, is it?"
As he spoke, Li Er had already taken out the Taiji Diagram. With an ultimate innate treasure, dealing with Minghe was entirely possible!
Minghe let out a cold laugh and, relying on the God-Slaying Spear, charged forward!
Li Er was completely unfazed. He had a Golden Body of Merit, impervious to all methods, and was inherently in an invincible position. Coupled with the Taiji Diagram, heh, the mere Minghe was truly beneath his notice!
He then unfolded the Taiji Diagram, and it instantly transformed into a golden bridge, directly aimed at Minghe.
Minghe naturally knew the power of the Taiji Diagram. He swung the God-Slaying Spear, deflecting the golden bridge, and simultaneously threw out a spiritual treasure, the Five-Directional Banner!
Li Er chuckled and stood his ground, letting the Five-Directional Banner attack.
However, the incoming spiritual energy dissipated upon contact with Li Er. This was the Golden Body of Merit, similar to Taiqing Laozi's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda; it was impervious to all spells. Unless physical attacks were used, spell attacks were completely ineffective!
Minghe was not in a hurry; he continued to engage Li Er in combat, seemingly unconcerned about his good corpse.
This left Li Er somewhat puzzled. What was going on?
Soon, Li Er's expression turned grim, and he roared, "Jieyin, you court death by daring to trespass into Huoyun Cave!"
Indeed, Jieyin had sneaked in earlier. However, within Huoyun Cave, the luck of the human race permeated the air, significantly affecting Jieyin's strength.
But Jieyin was a Saint of the Heavenly Dao after all. He quickly found Minghe's good corpse, Black Lotus Daoist, who was being suppressed by the Human Race's treasure of luck, the Kongtong Seal.
Jieyin exerted considerable effort to move the Kongtong Seal and took away Black Lotus Daoist.
This naturally attracted Li Er's attention, and he let out a loud shout!
The luck of the human race transformed into a colossal golden dragon of luck, and its head slammed into Jieyin, causing Jieyin to spit out a mouthful of blood. His face turned ashen, and he didn't dare to linger in Huoyun Cave, rushing out immediately.
Seeing Jieyin emerge, Minghe also slipped away.
Li Er looked at the two fleeing figures with a grim expression and snorted. How dare they trespass into Huoyun Cave? The West, you wait!
"Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Jieyin trespassed into Huoyun Cave, causing a disturbance in the human race's luck!" Li Er directly transmitted his voice to the Three Pure Ones. Damn it, did they really think I had no one? I can summon the Three Pure Ones!
The hot-tempered Tongtian heard this and immediately left the East Sea, bringing his Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation with him.
At this moment, Jieyin and Minghe had already reunited. Jieyin released Minghe's good corpse, and Minghe offered profuse thanks.
After all, it was his own good corpse, along with the ultimate innate spiritual treasure, the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus. If it had been suppressed, Minghe's strength would have been greatly diminished!
"Now that the Earth Emperor is about to be born, I have an idea!" Minghe said.
Jieyin replied, "Daoist friend, please speak quickly."
"For the Earth Emperor to attain the Dao, it is nothing more than contributing to the human race, just like the Human Emperor. We only need to release specters. As for Yuanshi's disciples, they will be completely insufficient. Naturally, we can create trouble for them!" Minghe said with great confidence.
Jieyin was bewildered. Specters?
Minghe smiled, "As far as I know, the specters born from Pangu's resentment are: Chi, Mei, Wang, Liang! They are immortal and indestructible, and it is said they are suppressed within Innate Gengjin. We only need to release Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang, and naturally, Yuanshi will receive a lesson!"
