Chapter 635: Chapter 60: Forging the Transcendent Dao Body, Successful Jun-Equalization, Fu Xi’s Terrifying Characteristic

"And Haotian is no cause for concern. As for Lu Xuan..."

As the Demon Ancestor spoke, they looked toward Taiyi, who raised his gaze at that same moment:

"I will deal with Lu Xuan. It is his destiny to be devoured by me."

Fu Xi glanced sideways and sneered:

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, it’s better not to make such boasts. After so many times, when have you ever defeated that Lu Xuan? I’m afraid that when the time comes, you’ll fail to swallow Lu Xuan and end up chipping a tooth or two instead!"

Taiyi snorted, the Donghuang Bell in his hand slowly rotating, and spoke nonchalantly:

"Everything is proceeding according to my plan."

"Perhaps," Fu Xi shot back.

"Enough!"

The Ancient Bodhi Buddha raised a placating hand.

"Let’s not argue amongst ourselves. It will only create discord. Since Taiyi is so certain, he must have something up his sleeve. There is no need for us to inquire further."

"The Bodhi Buddha Lord is as reasonable as ever." Taiyi tilted his head back, looking down his nose at Fu Xi, then smacked his lips.

"However, I suppose I can reveal a small part of my plan..."

"Oh?"

The Demon Ancestor’s interest was piqued.

"Do tell, Fellow Daoist."

Lu Xuan listened intently, his heart growing heavy. ’Just a little more... just one final step...’

The Path of Great Balance spun wildly, a new Transcendent Trait gradually reaching Perfection...

HUMMM!!

In the ocean of Lu Xuan’s soul, monstrous waves erupted. The Transcendent Trait manifested, just one final step away!

He didn’t let up. While slowly fusing that final thread, he shifted his focus, targeting the Demon Ancestor and Taiyi with his [Copy] ability.

The Demon Ancestor’s essence was Wa Huang’s Qi. Although he couldn’t fully [Balance] that Transcendent Trait, he could still, like the Lady, obtain a mere fraction of it.

A mere fraction was already of infinite benefit to Lu Xuan.

He attempted to multitask on four fronts. While copying Fu Xi’s Transcendent Trait that could be subjected to [Balance], he was also trying to replicate the Transcendent Traits of Fu Xi and the Demon Ancestor that could not.

Simultaneously, he tried to probe for the Innate Uncertain Number within Taiyi to absorb it through [Balance], but...

He failed.

Inside Taiyi, there was no Innate Uncertain Number.

It was empty.

Lu Xuan’s brow furrowed. A shudder of shock ran through him, immediately followed by immense confusion.

Just as he was reeling in shock and doubt,

Taiyi spoke leisurely:

"As far as I know, that Lu Xuan is not just Supreme’s disciple. Primordial and Spirit Treasure have also secretly taken him as their disciple.

"When the time comes, we can reveal this to Supreme. He is bound to be furious. Heh, the Three Pristine Ones will be plunged into internal strife..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

The Ancient Bodhi Buddha was taken aback for a moment, then a look of sudden understanding crossed his face.

"No wonder... No wonder Supreme so often comes to blows with Primordial and Spirit Treasure. Perhaps this truly is an opportunity. If the Three Pristine Ones fall to infighting..."

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Fu Xi pursed his lips dismissively.

"I wouldn’t count on it. Supreme understands what’s at stake and knows how to prioritize. Even if he’s furious, he’ll restrain himself and wait to settle accounts after the Journey to the West is over..."

"Not necessarily!"

The Demon Ancestor smiled faintly.

"Once this Journey to the West is restarted, the final calamity will arrive, no matter the outcome. At that point, Supreme will be no match for Spirit Treasure. He knows this himself. It’s entirely possible he’ll choose to strike first to gain the upper hand."

Fu Xi froze. He mulled it over for a moment, his expression thoughtful.

"There really is that possibility... Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud, what are your thoughts?"

Lu Xuan raised his gaze and smiled brightly.

"I believe this matter is certain to succeed. If what Fellow Daoist Taiyi says is true, the internal strife among the Three Pristine Ones is destined to happen!"

After speaking, he yawned and slowly rose to his feet.

"Well, I’ve troubled you all for long enough. I shall not linger. I’ll return to my Daoist Palace now to make preparations for the events of the coming Journey to the West."

"As you wish."

Bodhi, the Demon Ancestor, Fu Xi, and Taiyi all rose to see him off. After they watched the Purple Cloud Palace Master’s figure disappear into the distance, the Demon Ancestor suddenly spoke:

"What do you think? This Purple Cloud Palace Master... is he truly trustworthy?"

"He should be fine."

The Ancient Bodhi Buddha nodded slightly.

"Amitabha trusts him implicitly. And previously, the Purple Cloud Palace Master did indeed intervene to help Amitabha. It’s a pity they were ultimately outmaneuvered and fell at the last hurdle."

"I am of the same opinion." Fu Xi chuckled, then his expression turned cold. "Compared to Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud, the one I find truly untrustworthy..."

He glanced at Taiyi.

The latter merely offered a cold, meaningful sneer.

"What are you looking at me for? We all know who the real problem is! Fu Xi, oh, Fu Xi... do you really see yourself as some paragon of virtue? No matter how deep my secrets run, could they possibly run deeper than yours?"

The Demon Ancestor rose in fury. Fu Xi cracked his knuckles. Taiyi, showing no weakness, brandished the Donghuang Bell. And the Ancient Bodhi Buddha could only try to mediate helplessly...

The Donghuang Bell, although slightly inferior to the Heaven-Opening Banner and the Qing Ping Sword, was still a Dao Fruit Supreme Treasure and an Enlightenment Supreme Treasure, and it was Taiyi’s Lifebound Dao Artifact.

With the Donghuang Bell in his possession, despite only having the body of an Ancient One, he had little fear of an Enlightened One. Even if he was no match, he could still hold his own for a time...

. . .

Lu Xuan stumbled and staggered back to the Purple Cloud Palace.

He couldn’t hold it in anymore.

He couldn’t hold it in anymore!

It felt as if he was about to explode!!

Simultaneously balancing three Transcendent Traits, even though he had only obtained a fraction of two of them, was enough to nearly make Lu Xuan explode. The power was simply too immense!

The vast Cultivation he’d gained from the Demon Ancestor, though not immeasurable or infinite, was still genuinely close to being boundless.

A terrifying amount of Cultivation flooded Lu Xuan’s body. It was a good thing his current Physique was pure enough to rival an Ancient One’s; otherwise, he likely would have been torn apart by the sheer volume of power!

And it wasn’t just his Cultivation. Lu Xuan’s mind, True Spirit, and will were also undergoing a massive transformation.

From that one Transcendent Trait of Fu Xi’s that could not be Balanced, he had also managed to obtain a mere sliver!
