Chapter 143 Provocation
Qilin Cliff, three mythical gods.

"Old worm, what's the matter with you?"

Zu Qilin looked at Zulong with curiosity. After all, this meeting was initiated by Zulong. As old friends since ancient times, they cared about each other very much.

Zu Feng didn't really care about Zu Long's affairs, and there was always a sense of distraction in his expression, because the two riddlers before were really too imaginative:

Turning back time... things in the future...

Who is he? What's the purpose?
Until now, Zu Feng still hasn't come up with a more reasonable answer, wondering whether he should go to Yujing Mountain in person...

Faced with two teammates with different thoughts, the silent Zulong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something directly.

But in the end, selfishness prevailed over everything. Zulong thought for a while and asked tentatively:

"I was wondering, when we become enlightened, who should come first?"

"Harmful!"

Zu Qilin rolled his eyes:

"I thought you were going to talk about something. Didn't we already make an agreement? We will achieve enlightenment together, regardless of who comes first, so that no one can trust anyone else."

Zu Feng also came out of his own wild thoughts. Seeing Zu Long asking this question again, he was a little speechless:

"You are too suspicious, old worm..."

This matter had been decided when they first formed the alliance. After all, the three of them were afraid that the other would achieve enlightenment first. What if the one who achieved enlightenment first wanted to take it all for himself?
So in order to avoid meaningless infighting, this is the current strategy:
The three of them achieved enlightenment together, in no particular order!

However, no matter how good the strategy is, it cannot avoid a fundamental problem, that is, can the prehistoric world be refined multiple times?

If not, then it will be a life-and-death struggle...

Zulong's mind was in a mess, and he tried again:
"What if only one person can achieve enlightenment?"

As soon as these words came out, the meeting suddenly became silent...

Zu Qilin frowned and said unhappily:
"What do you have in mind?"

"I think……"

Zulong hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that his words might undermine unity, it was better to solve some problems as soon as possible:
"I think, instead of getting into a mess when the time comes, we should first draw up a backup charter... just in case..."

From Zulong's careful words, Zu Qilin keenly sensed his little thoughts:
"You...what you said makes sense."

Zulong was worried, and Zuqilin was naturally aware of it. They were old friends for many years, and no one wanted to fight to the death.

If you can really make a plan in advance, no matter whether it is used or not, it is like insurance!
"Well!"

Zu Qilin, who always had the most ideas, thought for a moment and came up with a feasible plan:

"I propose that either we all achieve enlightenment together, or no one achieves enlightenment, and we can avoid disputes."

"Anyway, even if we don't achieve enlightenment, our upper limit will be one level higher than others, and we will still be invincible in the prehistoric world."

"If there is really only one person who can achieve enlightenment, then let the position of enlightenment remain vacant. If anyone dares to achieve enlightenment, then we will unite to target him, so that no one will be satisfied!"

Zu Qilin's strategy surprised the other two:
Is this... directly banning the position of enlightenment?
Although the vacant position makes people feel strange, what Zu Qilin said makes sense. Anyway, he is invincible even if he doesn't achieve enlightenment. Instead of fighting for this position, it is better to just pretend that he doesn't have this realm!

In this way, the interests of all three parties can be protected.

After getting a barely satisfactory answer, Zulong was still a little unhappy, but he did not dare to show his ambition in front of the two of them, as that would be a way to his death...

[A meeting to divide interests ended in a way that was acceptable to all three parties...]

[However, a seed was quietly planted in the hearts of the three people. ]

[Do you really want to share the profits equally with the other two? ]

[If there is a choice, then naturally no one wants to divide it equally. The innate moral quality of the sacred has never been high, and the normal mentality is to be the only one who is self-centered. ]

[If the divine beings are born to share the benefits equally, there will only be one situation: no one can do anything to anyone else! ]

[And all of this is within your calculations...]

[On Yujing Mountain, besides discussing the Dao with Hongjun and practicing diligently, you also paid attention to and pondered the affairs between the three ancestors.]

[Since we have decided to kill all three ancestors, and we cannot kill them by sacrificing all souls as we did in the previous life, then it is obvious that there is only one way to go. ]

[That is, the killing mission must be completed before the three ancestors awaken their spirits. Once the three ancestors awaken their spirits, not only will their cultivation quickly rise to the peak of Daluo or even Quasi-Sage, but the war among the three clans will also result in heavy casualties.]

[By that time, even if I could kill the Three Ancestors, it would just be a repeat of the tragedy of my previous life.]

[So the best solution is that the battle must be won at the Daluo Jinxian stage! ]

[But the problem is, if the three ancestors' small group is not split up, they will always be three standard Daluo Jinxian strongmen, and even if Luohou is included, there are only three people on my side. ]

[Three vs three, it would be strange if we could win! ]

[So, splitting the three ancestors is the only solution...]

[“Fellow Daoist, I don’t quite understand…”]

[One day, Hongjun looked at you practicing under the tree and asked in confusion: "Since you want to split the three ancestors, why don't you write a letter to Zu Qilin as well?"] [In his opinion, you first used your self-explosion to alienate Zu Feng, and then used an anonymous letter to provoke Zu Long. What about Zu Qilin? Why not try to split together?]

[You sighed speechlessly: Fellow Daoist, don’t you know that Zu Qilin is the intellectual leader of the three-person team! ]

[You brought out the experience of your previous life: At the time of the final battle, the round-robin plan was obviously set by the Ancestral Kirin. The Ancestral Dragon was a half-brute, and the Ancestral Phoenix was not much better, so the Ancestral Kirin let the two of them interfere with me, while it itself slaughtered the slaves of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes in the back.]

[Even the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix dared to entrust it with such a major matter as slaughtering slaves, which was related to the attainment of enlightenment. This naturally proves that the Ancestral Qilin has always been the most reliable one.]

[If I list it as a target for alienation, it is very likely that it will plot against me and bring the Second Ancestor with it to kill me in advance...]

[You said seriously that if the plan can avoid adding variables, then try not to add any. Anyway, there are three people in the small group. As long as the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix are alienated, the remaining Ancestral Qilin will be isolated! ]

【After listening to your explanation, Hongjun seemed to be thinking about something. 】

[“So, our first target, and also the most critical target, is Zu Qilin!”]

[You smiled slightly: The one with the highest strategic value is the Ancestral Qilin. Once we kill it, the remaining two will be nothing more than dishes...]

[Of course, to achieve this, you need to have at least three big Luos on your side. ]

[As you said this, you continued to practice, and Hongjun also began to frown, thinking about how he could kill the so-called evil corpse Rahu like in his previous life...]

[The days when we have goals and work hard are the most motivating, and time passes slowly. ]

【…】

[One luck, two lucks, three lucks…]

[One meeting, two meetings, three meetings...]

[One yuan, two yuan, three yuan...]

[As the only quasi-saint-level expert in the prehistoric world in your previous life, your speed of restoration is naturally much faster than that of ordinary people. Even those who are born divine cannot keep up with your progress! ]

[I remember that when you first cultivated to Daluo, it took you at least hundreds of Yuanhui.]

[When you cultivated to Daluo for the second time, with the help of the true spirits of all living beings, it only took you ten Yuanhui, and later you even broke through to Quasi-Sage.]

[Now that you have achieved Daluo for the third time, although you do not have the true spirits of all living beings to assist you in your cultivation, your experience in recultivation is more than enough. So after only fifteen epochs, you finally achieved Daluo Jinxian again! ]

[The five energies interweave in your chest, the three flowers bloom on your shoulders, the three flowers and the five energies combine, and there is even a little bit of perfect golden immortality... From then on, you have reached the ultimate realm of individual practice, the Daluo Jinxian.]

[Feeling that your foundation is more solid than in your previous life, you feel a lot of emotion for a moment: I hope this is the last time I rebuild it...]

[When you opened your eyes, you immediately saw the sad-looking Taoist Hongjun under the old tree: He still hadn’t killed the evil corpse Rahu! ]

[I don't know why. He clearly knew the concept of "slaying the three corpses" in advance because of your suggestion, but he still can't kill the evil corpse...]

[Seeing you wake up, Hongjun immediately complained: Daoist friend, now we don’t have three Daluo anymore! ]

[After hearing this bad news, you, who were originally in a good mood because of the breakthrough, couldn't help but feel depressed... But you still comforted Hongjun: It's okay, it's not impossible to fight two Daluo! ]

[As you said this, you confirmed with Hongjun: Has the Third Ancestor still not started to awaken his spirit?]

[After getting a positive answer, you calm down again: That's good, there's still time! ]

[You and Hongjun calmed down and officially started the second step of the plan...]

[Not long after, you and Hongjun privately visited the Crystal Palace to seek an audience with Zulong.]

……

East China Sea, in the Crystal Palace.

Zulong, dressed in a green robe, looked at the two visitors with great vigilance:

The man in purple robe was Hongjun.

A man in a red robe called himself Jiao Ming, but Zulong did not remember any such person in the prehistoric world.

But since he was a guest, Zulong still showed enough courtesy on the surface...

A banquet was made of all kinds of natural treasures. Jiao Ming and the other two did not say much, but just chatted and laughed with Zulong while eating.

They talked about everything under the sun, and slowly the topic turned to spiritual practice. Zulong became very interested and took the initiative to talk about his own insights into spiritual practice.

It can be said that both the host and the guests were very happy...

Until the two men left, Zulong just thought they were here for fun, so he didn't think much about it.

But what it didn't expect was that these two guys soon gave it a big fight!

[In a certain period, a certain meeting, a Daluo Jinxian suddenly attacked Qilin Cliff. The man called himself "Jiao Ming" and fought very hard. He didn't care even if he had to exchange injuries for injuries. He used a white gold strange fire to scare the ancestor Qilin to death! He quickly called for help. ]

[But before Zulong and Zufeng could come to help, the wounded Jiao Ming took the initiative to retreat. But before retreating, he cursed: "How dare a mere cow or horse make trouble for Zulong Daoist's great cause? This time, he was venting his anger for Zulong Daoist!"

[Ancestor Qilin: …]
