: Stable Luck, Deceptive Guidance

Inside the grand formation atop Mount Sumeru, as Ran Deng finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, why are you helping my fellow disciple and me?"

Jieyin was the first to break the silence. After all, in his perception, Randeng was only at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, yet he had promised the two of them the position of Hunyuan. Was he just talking nonsense or did he really have extraordinary abilities?

Ran Deng didn't speak, but instead summoned the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner. Using his cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he controlled the spiritual energy in the formation to surge towards the two people being guided.

He knew that to win over Jieyin and Zhunti, it wouldn't be enough to rely on emotions or coercion; the key was to bind their interests together.

"Of all the beings in the West, only the three of us, the Primordial Saints, remain in the end. Doesn't that say something? I believe you, fellow Daoist, already know your mission after your birth."

The lighting of the lamp was not just a random act of deception, but rather because the Heavenly Dao was perfectly fair in the primordial world, and every innate deity had their own duties and missions.

Just like Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were born with the destiny of emperors, they were destined to unify all races and promote the development of all living beings in the primordial world;

And the Blood Sea and the River Styx have the responsibility of helping to purify the negative energy of the primordial world;

As for the Wu Clan, the original intention of the primordial world was for them to absorb evil energy and regulate the earth's veins, which was a great merit in itself. However, they only absorbed evil energy and ignored the earth's veins, focusing solely on vying for supremacy. Of course, they would not have a good end.

The innate mission of this Western duo is to revive the West; their fate is intertwined with the West's.

"Is your mission also to revive the West?" Zhunti asked with a hint of surprise. He had thought that Randeng had broken into the West to seize opportunities, but he hadn't expected that he was a fellow Daoist.

"Naturally, the western land is in great condition, and I have repaired most of the earth's veins along the way."

Dipankara expressed that he was indeed devoted to the West, but as for the fact that he wanted to seize the opportunity for the two Westerners, there was no need to explain that to Cundi.

"Fellow Daoist, are you not one of the innate deities of the West?"

Just when Randeng thought that the two had accepted him with peace of mind, Jieyin asked the most crucial question.

It's hard not to be suspicious when someone who isn't a Western innate deity comes to revive the West.

The previously calm spiritual energy around them surged violently once more. If Randeng could not provide a reasonable explanation, he and Zhunti would immediately and forcibly take human form and be born into the world.

"Fellow Daoist, you are attached to appearances. The Western Paradise is connected to this humble Daoist."

As he spoke, the golden light of merit emanating from his primordial spirit was revealed, so intense it was almost transforming into a treasure mirror of merit.

"A certain great being has said that innate divinity is judged by deeds, not intentions. Since my merits and fortune are undeniable, what does my origin matter?"

Jieyin fell silent again. Yes, although this Taoist's origins were unknown, he was genuinely working to revive the West.

"Brother Dao, please transform into human form to protect my fellow disciple and me."

When Jieyin spoke again, it was a sign of his approval of Randeng, and the way he addressed him subtly changed.

Randeng breathed a sigh of relief. The fluctuating fortune on his body stabilized the moment the guide spoke.

What Jieyin said was actually correct. Although he was a primordial deity from outside the world and was blessed with temporary fortune, it was still ephemeral.

Once Dipankara leaves the West, this blessing will immediately dissipate. Only when the two true masters of the West, Amitabha and Cundi, acknowledge him will this fortune be transformed from a false blessing into a true one.

"Fellow Daoist, you may first take human form. Fellow Daoist Zhunti's origin is flawed, but it can be repaired with the help of our merits when we establish our sect."

Dipankara intentionally let Jieyin take human form first, so that the two of them could repair the Western land together much faster. On the other hand, it was also to warn the two that he knew that Zhunti's origin was flawed.

"I will follow your instructions, fellow Daoist. I thank you on behalf of my junior brother."

Jieyin was slightly surprised, and his evaluation of Randeng rose even higher. After all, Zhunti's origin was flawed, and only the Dao Ancestor and the two of them knew about it, yet Randeng was able to see it.

While waiting for Jieyin and Zhunti to continue accumulating their origins in preparation for transformation, Randeng also continued to refine the Azure Lotus Banner, striving to complete the refining of this top-grade innate spiritual treasure as soon as possible, thereby further enhancing his own foundation.

With the help of the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, Randeng completely mastered the Azure Lotus Purifying Glazed Array. Only then did he discover that Mount Sumeru, as the center where Rahu once detonated the earth veins, had its internal earth vein nodes in complete chaos.

However, once it is restored, it can recreate the magnificent scene of the first mountain in the west. After all, Rahu used his great supernatural powers to transform Mount Sumeru into the center of the western earth veins in order to increase the power of detonating the earth veins.

As his future sacred ground, Randeng naturally spared no effort in making Mount Sumeru a blessed land that would not diminish Kunlun.

However, he always sensed a faint trace of demonic energy deep within the earth's veins of Mount Sumeru.

"Could it be that the Demon Ancestor Rahu left some kind of backup plan at the foot of Mount Sumeru?"

Randeng couldn't help but think, that was a big shot who was on par with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and a ruthless person who could blow up the entire West at the slightest disagreement.

"It's alright, Jieyin is about to take human form, we'll send him down to investigate then."

He made the decision with ease, using the Azure Lotus Banner for protection, and carefully repaired the other ley lines, leaving only the ley core containing demonic energy behind.

Ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye. Dipankara calculated the days and realized that Jieyin should soon be born into the world in human form. Thus, he awoke from his enlightenment.

The location of the Bitter Bamboo was now enveloped in a spiritual mist, filled with a myriad of spiritual energies and radiant light. At its center, a vortex seemed to be constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

With his hands forming hand seals, Ran Deng controlled the Azure Lotus Purifying Glazed Array to continuously purify the spiritual energy mixed with the aura of calamity and the law of annihilation from the outside world and transport it into the array.

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

The reason why Randeng went to such lengths to help Jieyin was that top-grade innate spirits were not easy to transform into human form. He had intercepted the fortune of Jieyin and Zhunti, and he wondered if things would change. After all, he was still counting on Jieyin and Zhunti to work for him.

Within the grand formation, the aura guiding the way steadily increased—early, middle, and late stages of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

The guiding aura didn't stop until it reached the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, actually a small realm higher than when Randeng transformed himself.

However, he was able to take human form smoothly only because he was protected by the fortune of Pangu. As for being guided? Through the great formation, Randeng looked at the tribulation clouds that were constantly gathering in the sky.

The Transformation Tribulation is a heavenly tribulation that even the most superior innate spiritual roots will encounter when they transform into human form. Even the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus, with its incomparably noble origin, was still split into three by the heavenly tribulation and taken away by the Three Pure Ones as tools for proving their Dao.

Ran Deng silently removed the protective array, and at the same time, his figure flashed to a place tens of thousands of miles away. He was not unable to help with this tribulation, but he had to wait for Jie Yin to take the initiative to ask for help.

The guide, who was about to take human form, sensed something was amiss when he saw the lamp's movement.

He originally thought that the Burning Lamp Society would help him all the way. After he transformed into human form, he would be able to fight against a Taiyi Golden Immortal at the peak, even though there was a gap between them. It was still unknown who would prevail at that time.

But now that Ran Deng has removed his protection and is letting the heavenly tribulation descend, how can he not be anxious?

"Brother Dao, why did you remove the great formation? If you could lend me another hand, my fellow disciples and I will repay you when we are able to take human form."

The guide sent out his divine thoughts, hoping that the lamp could help him withstand the tribulation lightning.

Ran Deng sneered inwardly, but his face remained smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoist, it's not that I don't want to help you, but if I rashly intervene in this tribulation, its power will only be greater."

Jieyin panicked immediately. Even if he could successfully transform into human form after the tribulation, his entire essence would be completely destroyed, and he didn't know if he could even maintain his Taiyi realm cultivation. This was unacceptable to Jieyin, who aspired to reach the Great Luo realm.

"Brother Dao, what conditions would it take for you to lend a helping hand?"

Finally, you've taken the bait. A slight smile appeared on the corner of Randeng's mouth. He had been protecting you and filtering your spiritual energy. Randeng had been waiting for the moment when you were about to take human form and had no choice but to compromise.
