The thirty-six saints divided into two tribes of wizards and witches

  The Supreme Venerable Sovereign saw that all the saints agreed with his proposal and said, "Since this is the case, let everyone discuss how to deal with these two tribes of witches and demons."

  With a sorrowful face, he said: "The great war between the witches and the demons has caused countless lives to be lost. I pity those who have cultivated their powers with difficulty, so I have come to enlighten them, to eliminate their evil energy and bring blessings to all living beings."

  Nüwa said, "This won't do. As the sacred being of the demon clan, these demons are my people. Why not let me take them in and imprison them? I have the Mountain and River Map, which is just right for imprisoning demons and making them reflect on their actions."

  Zhun Ti said: "Since you are the sacred person of the demon clan, what punishment is it for the demon clan to follow you? I see that many in the demon clan have a deep connection with my Western teachings. Why not let me guide them to cultivate and accumulate good deeds, and naturally they will achieve the great Dao."

  Tongtian Sect Master was straightforward by nature and had always disliked Zhunti. After hearing Zhunti's words, he pointed at the witch tribe and said: "Fellow Taoist, since you have such divine powers and a compassionate heart, why not enlighten them all together?"

  The Western Pure Land teachings are specifically for rebirth in this life, but once the sorcerer dies, his spirit is destroyed and does not enter reincarnation. How can he cultivate the divine powers of the Western Pure Land? The Master of Tongtian Teaching spoke these words to challenge Zhunti.

  Zhun Ti saw Tong Tian Jiao Zhu being troubled by him, but he didn't get annoyed. He smiled and said: "My Western teaching only saves those who have a predestined relationship with me. Unfortunately, the Wu tribe has no affinity with me, this is the will of heaven, what can be done?"

  Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed and said, "Zhunti Daoyou indeed has a good eloquence. You Westerners say that you can enlighten all living beings, but I've heard that even in the West, not everyone has been enlightened yet? Then why must you come to my Eastern lands to show off?"

  Zhun Ti still had a smile all over his face and said: "There are wise and foolish people in the world. If someone can understand, I will save them myself; if they cannot understand, they naturally have nothing to do with me, so why should I force them?"

  Dà Wū Xíng Tiān stood on one side, watching with cold eyes as these saints vied with each other. They all wanted to take advantage of the situation and none of them were truly there to resolve the matter between the two tribes of witches and demons. He stepped forward and said in a cold tone: "The affairs of our witch tribe will be handled by ourselves, so it's unnecessary for saints to trouble themselves."

  Although each saint did not want the witch tribe, the witch tribe wanted to be independent and was somewhat unwilling. The Yuanshi Tianzun blocked the way and said: "If your witch tribe has no one to manage, I'm afraid that after resting and rejuvenating in the future, the vast land of Honghuang will be another disaster. This move must not be made."

  Xing Tian himself had a grudge against the Holy One, and now hearing Yuan Shi Tian Zun's words, it seemed that he didn't want to give the Wu tribe a way out. No longer caring about his identity as a Holy One, he asked: "Alright, since the Holy One doesn't agree, then how do you think the Wu tribe should be dealt with? If you have the ability, just kill all of my Wu tribe and naturally no one will need to worry about it anymore. Or else, let us Wu tribe stand on our own."

  Yuanshi Tianzun always considered himself the orthodox Pangu, looking down on others. Except for Taishang Laojun, all other saints were inferior to him in his heart. Seeing Xing Tian not putting himself in his eyes, he was furious, his face turned purple, and shouted: "You dare to speak to me like this, do you think I don't dare to exterminate your entire Wu tribe?"

  Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow and asked Tai Shang Lao Jun: "I wonder if De Tian Zun also wants to destroy our Wu tribe?"

  The Supreme Elder said: "Although the Wu tribe has great faults, the ancestral witch Hou Tu has made a great contribution to heaven and earth by transforming into six paths of reincarnation, so the Wu tribe should not be exterminated."

  This remark by the Supreme Elder Lord was also indirectly addressed to the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. If the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign were to destroy the Wu tribe in a fit of anger, the six paths of reincarnation embodied by the Ancestral Witch and Hou Tu would become unstable, and all the consequences that followed would have to be borne by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign alone. In severe cases, Heaven's Way would directly impose heavenly punishment.

  Xing Tian said: "In that case, I wonder how De Tian Zun plans to arrange the life of the Wu tribe from now on?"

  The Supreme Elder saw Xing Tian hand over this difficult problem to himself, and he also felt greatly troubled in his heart. The Wu tribe currently does not have a single sage willing to take over, but if the Wu tribe were to establish itself independently, others would disagree; the Yao tribe, on the other hand, is eager to take it over. If each side relies on its own methods, they will inevitably be unable to surpass Tong Tian's master. It is truly a difficult situation.

  The Great Elder was also unable to come up with a good solution, so he said: "Since that's the case, why not ask the opinions of the two tribes of witches and demons? See which saint they are willing to follow. No matter who it is, if they accept these witches and demons, if there's any problem in the future, don't say anything, just go find those saints. What do you all think?"

  Other saints thought about it and indeed there was no perfect solution. If they had to fight on, in the end, they would have to go through another ordeal. At that time, if they lost face, it would be a loss of both men and money.

  The old man saw that everyone agreed, so he told the two tribes of witches and demons. The two tribes heard the decision of the saint and had their own plans. The witch tribe naturally didn't need to be said, they all had a bad feeling about the saints and wouldn't follow any of them. Under duress, the saints could only temporarily arrange the witch tribe into the underworld, but the underworld was already at its limit in supporting so many witches. Therefore, the saints arranged for these witches to go to the desolate land in the far north of Honghuang. Among the great witches, Xiangliu, Jiufeng, and Yushi survived the war and led them. Although the saints allowed the witch tribe to be self-sufficient, they also issued a ban, forbidding them from leaving the far north.

  The witch tribe is done, now only the demon tribe is left. The demon tribe also has several options, one is to rely on the demon master Kunpeng. The entire North Minghai is rich in spiritual energy and rare human habitation, which is indeed suitable for the demon tribe to rest and recover. Such a place can no longer be found in the vast wilderness of Hongyuan. However, Kunpeng is not here now, and there are also conflicts with the demon saint Nuwa, so it's difficult to rely on him. Moreover, most of the high-ranking demons have been lost, and the remaining ones are not very interested. The key is that they cannot be too high-profile, as Kunpeng has made other saints remember himself, so this place does not need to be mentioned again.

  In addition, it is the place of Nüwa. As a saint of the demon clan, Nüwa would not abandon the demon clan and joining her sect is equivalent to having a saint backing you up, even if a great disaster strikes in the future, there will be an extra guarantee.

  There is also the Tian Tian Jiao Zhu's Jie Jiao. The Jie Jiao has always been a teaching without distinction, and the demon clan will not receive discrimination.

  As for the two saints, Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun, the demons don't even need to consider them. Even if they wanted to surrender, these two saints wouldn't accept them as disciples based on their standards for accepting students.

  In the demon clan, there were a few who were not very strong but clever and good at taking advantage of opportunities. They were willing to follow the invitation to go to the Western Sect ahead of time. After all, the number of demons relying on Nüwa and Tongtian was too large, and if they followed the crowd, they would never have a chance to stand out. If they entered the Western Sect, it would be different. The Western Sect had very few people, so even if they couldn't become a disciple of the Holy One, with only a few disciples, they could still show their face in front of the Holy One from time to time. Who knows, maybe one day they would be favored by the Holy One. Although the Western Sect was poor in resources, fortunately, there were not many people, so the share was not much worse than that of Nüwa and Tongtian's subordinates.

  In this way, the matter of the demon tribe was also perfectly resolved, and basically all these saints were satisfied.

  At this time, Nüwa suddenly disappeared and reappeared with a banner in her hand, which was the Demon- Summoning Banner. It turned out that while everyone was discussing, Nüwa used her divine consciousness to check and found that after Emperor Jun's death, the Demon-Summoning Banner had not been damaged but had fallen onto a star, so she went to retrieve it for her own convenience in managing the demon tribe later on.

  The Tongtian Sect Master and the Western Demon Clan's Jie Yin saw the flag, their faces changed, thinking that if Nüwa used this to control them in the future, what would they do. Fortunately, since Nüwa took it out in person, she shouldn't have any other intentions. However, what made them feel unexpected was that after Nüwa grasped this treasure, she lifted the seal on the flag for the Tongtian Sect Master and the Western Demon Clan.

  With the Demon Banner, Nüwa no longer needed to bring these demonic tribes to the Palace of Nüwa, and directly ordered them to go to the Desolate Expanse to cultivate in hiding, and not to move about randomly without reason.

  Zhun Ti saw this demon flag and suddenly thought that there was still one person from the demon tribe who hadn't arrived, so he said: "Have we perhaps missed someone? That person has great divine powers!"

  The Supreme Elder looked at Zhuanti with a faint gaze and said: "Brother Zhuanti, can you say that the demon master Kunpeng is right?"

  Zhun Ti said: "It is indeed this person, Kun Peng's body as a demon master but did not teach the demon tribe well, it is a great fault, if not handled, it will inevitably lead to disaster in the future."

  The Tianxian Sect Master looked down on Zhu Ti's attitude and coldly laughed, saying: "If fellow daoist has such intentions, then handle it yourself, I won't interfere with this matter."

  The Supreme Elder said calmly: "What the Heavenly Master said is right, the matter of the demon master Kunpeng will be handled by you Westerners, we won't interfere with this matter."

  Zhun Ti saw San Qing's attitude and did not intervene in Kun Peng's affairs, he was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly said: "Then thank you several Shixiong for giving way."

  Zhun Ti has indeed been blinded by his own interests. Kun Peng, although the master of the demon tribe, had a falling out with them before the Great War between Witches and Demons, and no longer interferes in their affairs, completely uninvolved in the cause and effect of the war. Moreover, as the Holy Master of the human tribe, he holds a position equal to that of Nüwa Niangniang, with great virtues protecting him. If Zhun Ti were to find trouble for him, it would be difficult for Heaven's Way to approve, and if not careful, it would either damage his prestige among humans or bring about heavenly punishment. This is also one of the main reasons why the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa ignore him.

  Although Zhunti was somewhat blinded by his own interests, Jieying remained exceptionally calm and said: "The demon master Kunpeng has great merits in the vast wilderness and has not been involved in the struggle between witches and demons. We have no reason to make things difficult for him. Junior brother Zhunti just made a joke earlier, fellow senior brothers and Nüwa junior sister need not take it seriously."

  The Three Pure Ones heard these words of introduction, and they all secretly sighed in their hearts. Such a good opportunity to damage the Western Religion's luck had disappeared, how could they not be disappointed?

  Upon hearing the introduction, Zhun Ti suddenly realized that the Three Pure Ones were so friendly because they wanted him to be a scapegoat, to see how he would punish the saint who violated the heavenly way. In his heart, he couldn't help but resent the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa.
