Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Just as Randeng was deep in thought, a gentle voice suddenly came from inside the cave, "Fellow Daoist Randeng."

"Who?"

Ran Deng felt a tightness in his back, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked around, but couldn't see a single person.

Just as Randeng was on guard, the great formation of Lingjiu Mountain seemed to vibrate slightly, a golden Buddhist light flashed, and Zhunti appeared in front of Randeng.

Ran Deng was startled at first, but the Purple Gold Bowl was already in his hand. Although the Purple Gold Bowl was a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, it had been completely refined by Daoist Ran Deng over the years. In terms of power, it was no less than an unrefined high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Moreover, because his original body, the Netherworld Coffin, contained great karma, he had only used it once since he took human form, when he was listening to the Dao, to cross the chaotic energy. Although the Spirit Vulture Lamp did not have much karma, as the Human Lamp among the three lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it was in the hands of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. No matter how you looked at it, it was like a child holding a large gold ingot, swaggering around the city.

It should be known that the Heavenly Lantern Jade Void Glazed Lamp and the Earthly Lantern Eight Scenery Palace Lantern were in the hands of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Supreme Saint. Treasures that could remain in their hands were not ordinary items.

Furthermore, the three lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man symbolize the three great principles of the primordial world. Each lamp has its own unique features, and he will not use the Spirit Vulture Lamp unless he breaks through to the Quasi-Saint level or is in dire need of other means.

Moreover, the Spirit Vulture Lamp had already depleted its essence in order to save him, and it is currently being nurtured in the Netherworld Coffin of the World-Suppressing Demon. Even if he wanted to use it, he couldn't take it out immediately.

Moreover, since this person was able to break through to his cave without him noticing, it should be noted that although Lingjiu Mountain is not comparable to a sacred mountain like Kunlun Mountain, there was still a quasi-saint level protective formation outside when Daoist Ran Deng was born.

After that, Daoist Ran Deng was born, and it took him tens of millions of years to finally master it. Its power is boundless. If a Great Luo Golden Immortal enters, he will surely die. Even if a Quasi-Saint, a powerful being, accidentally enters, he will be severely injured, if not killed.

Therefore, Randeng had great confidence in the protective array of Lingjiu Mountain. Now that someone could break through this defense, it must be someone like a saint.

Sure enough, it was Zhunti, the vice leader of Western Buddhism, who appeared. Seeing that it was Zhunti, the Taoist Ran Deng was somewhat relieved of his shock, but he was still annoyed by Zhunti's uninvited arrival and his direct intrusion into Lingjiu Mountain.

After all, Mount Lingjiu was the lair of Daoist Randeng, and now Zhunti had barged in without a word, which was tantamount to provoking Randeng.

However, Zhunti is a saint, and one has to bow one's head when under someone else's roof. Fortunately, he had already put away the World-Suppressing Netherworld Coffin and the Spirit Vulture Lamp. If Zhunti had found out, based on his understanding of Zhunti, he would definitely have killed him to steal the treasure. After all, everyone knows the hardships in the West. Even Lianyin and Zhunti themselves did not have many top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Seeing top-grade innate spiritual treasures like the World-Suppressing Netherworld Coffin and the Spirit Vulture Lamp, which were in line with the Buddhist teachings of the West, it would be strange if they were not tempted.

Randeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing his anger and bowing slightly to Zhunti before him, saying, "Randeng greets the Sage."

Zhunti looked at the calm face of the Taoist Ran Deng and the hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he was not surprised at all. After all, what he had done was indeed a bit excessive. However, he had no choice but to come here this time.

If Jambudvipa had planned things properly, Zhunti would definitely have set aside his saintly airs to win over Dipankara. However, Jambudvipa's repeated failures gave Zhunti a bad feeling.

At this point, there was no need to treat traitors like Randeng with courtesy, so Zhunti chose the simplest and crudest method of applying pressure.

After all, Western Buddhism had suffered repeated failures, and Zhunti would not naively believe in people like Dipankara who were only after their own interests. So when bribery failed, Zhunti prepared to resort to coercion.

In fact, the only true ally of Zhunti in the Chan Sect was Randeng Daoren. In fact, all the affairs of the Chan Sect were made by Randeng Daoren. Now that Buddhism in the West is declining, Zhunti Saint is worried that Randeng has become disloyal.

Upon hearing that Daoist Randeng had returned to Lingjiu Mountain, he disregarded his own injuries and hurriedly sneaked into Lingjiu Mountain. As for whether Daoist Randeng was happy or not, he really didn't care at the moment.

In the past, he might have been trying to get Ran Deng to work properly, but now he can't even manage the Buddhist disciples, let alone Ran Deng Daoren.

Although Zhunti felt that Randeng Daoren's emotions were relatively normal, he still sensed something was amiss. However, since important matters were at hand, he didn't dwell on it.

Zhunti glanced at Randeng Daoist and asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Randeng, has there been any change in the Chan Sect recently?"

When Randeng heard the words "fellow Daoist" from Zhunti, his expression softened slightly. He then recounted the recent situation of the Chan Sect, explaining that it was now essentially on the same page as Western Buddhism, like ants on the same rope, with no one able to escape.

In any case, this is a time of great calamity, and with Zhunti here, he has nothing to fear from others probing him. When Zhunti heard that the Chan Sect had actually agreed to the Caishen Sect's request, his expression changed. Although he was angry, he knew he had to be careful even when facing the Heavenly Court.

Not to mention that the Jade Emperor has basically taken control of the Heavenly Court in recent years and secured his position as the Great Heavenly Venerable, just considering that he, the Queen Mother, and several other emperors alone numbered no less than a handful of Quasi-Saints.

Moreover, to be honest, other quasi-saints might be afraid of them, but the Jade Emperor might not be afraid at all. You must know that the Jade Emperor was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun as the ruler of the Three Realms.

Although he and Jieyin had betrayed the Daoist sect, even though Zhunti had broken through to the Saint realm for so many years, he still couldn't figure out the cultivation level of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the first Saint in the prehistoric world. It could be said that it was unfathomable.

The sages say that one will be free from all calamities, illness, and disaster, and will be immortal and indestructible. However, that only applies to others. Although Zhunti is the weakest among the sages, even the powerful Taiqing Sage cannot do anything to him.

However, every time Zhunti thought of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he felt a faint fear in his heart. His intuition told him that Dao Ancestor Hongjun could really break their golden bodies, and it was not impossible for him to even kill them.

It should be noted that whether it was the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, or him and Jieyin, the foundation for their sainthood was bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and how many years have passed since Dao Ancestor Hongjun became a saint?

They have all become saints for so many years. You must know that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has occupied all the fortune of the immortal path. After all, if it weren't for him spreading the Dao in the prehistoric world, they probably wouldn't even be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, let alone the Saint realm.

Therefore, Dao Ancestor Hongjun can only become stronger, and it is even uncertain whether the six saints together can defeat him.

Behind the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother stood such a ruthless person. Zhunti was not stupid; he knew who he could afford to offend and who he couldn't.

The story of Nuwa using Nuwa's schemes to plot against King Zhou in the Nuwa Temple is based on the belief that Nuwa's methods are effective. Even if the scheme fails, Nuwa can't do anything to him; at most, he'll lose face. But if he offends the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he could really die.

However, the God of Wealth Cult was led by Li Shundao, the Jade Emperor's only disciple. Because of this, he really couldn't do anything to Li Shundao, so he could only secretly hold a grudge against him.

When Zhunti heard that Chen Fusheng had broken through to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm, and even his weapon refining had reached the level of a mid-grade weapon refining master, he was shocked and couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Yuanshi Tianzun's luck. He must have stepped in dog poop... no, he must have eaten dog poop to have such good luck, actually taking Chen Fusheng under his wing.

He wondered when such a genius disciple would appear in the West. Moreover, he knew that Chen Fusheng's power was basically secured, and he couldn't carry out a scheme like the one last time. After all, given Chen Fusheng's talent and current achievements, as long as Yuanshi Tianzun wasn't stupid, he would definitely pay close attention. If Yuanshi Tianzun found out that he wanted to plot against Chen Fusheng, he would definitely fight him to the death. Zhunti sighed inwardly, regretting that he shouldn't have gone all out last time and killed Chen Fusheng in the cradle.
