Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Clean house!

The four words "Chen Changsheng" were spoken with unwavering resolve and conviction.

Yang Jiao was shocked and stared blankly at Chen Changsheng. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

He wanted to refute, but scenes from the past few years involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

He was suppressed under Mount Sumeru, and Yang Tianyou wanted to convert him to the Western Paradise every day.

Does such a person really deserve to be their father?

Perhaps... my brother-in-law did the right thing.

Chen Changsheng ignored Yang Jiao, who was struggling, and killed Yang Tianyou. With his mind at ease, he felt that his Dao heart had become much more stable.

He raised his head, his gaze passing over Jieyin and Zhunti, and looked at the void rift, saying loudly:

"Thank you so much for your help, Grandmaster! Disciple Chen Changsheng bows in gratitude!"

As he spoke, he respectfully bowed deeply to the void.

In the void, the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader drifted back, carrying an undisguised expression of approval.

"Well done."

"We, the disciples of the Jie Sect, should act swiftly and decisively, free from any karmic constraints."

"So what if you killed him? Whatever the consequences, I, your master, will bear them for you!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces twitched again.

Good heavens, these two, master and apprentice, are both ruthless and fiercely protective of each other.

Killing someone's father and then saying it was a good thing—where can you find justice in that?

However, they were happy with this arrangement; with Yang Tianyou dead, they were rid of a hot potato.

After praising his grand-disciple, the Tongtian Sect Leader changed his tone and turned cold again, fixing his gaze on Zhunti.

"The person has been released."

"Now, it's time to settle the second score."

"Zhunti, you injured my grand-disciple and destroyed his magic treasures. How do you intend to settle this score?"

"Why not hand over your Seven Treasures Tree!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader's icy voice, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, swept through every corner of Mount Sumeru, and also touched the hearts of Jieyin and Zhunti.

The second account!

Again?

Saint Zhunti was already severely injured by a sword. Upon hearing these words, he was so enraged that his holy blood surged. His face turned from blue to purple, and then from purple to black, a truly spectacular sight.

Your grand-disciple killed so many people in my Western Sect, destroyed my incarnation as a saint, and even turned your cheap father-in-law to dust right in front of me.

Now, you actually have the nerve to bring up a second debt with me?

Do you still want my Seven Treasures Tree, the most precious treasure for proving your enlightenment?

"Tongtian! Don't go too far!"

Zhunti could no longer contain himself and roared at the void, his voice becoming somewhat shrill due to extreme anger.

"Excessive?" The Tongtian Sect Leader's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "My grand-disciple's foundation was damaged and his magic treasures were tarnished by your attack. I only ask for one of your Dao-proving treasures as compensation. Is that excessive?"

"How about I dismantle this Mount Sumeru of yours and use it as a cave dwelling for my grand-disciple? What do you think?"

boom!

As his voice fell, the four swords of Zhuxian hanging in the sky rang out even louder, their chilling killing intent almost tangible, pressing down on the entire Mount Sumeru, making it hum and seem as if it would collapse at any moment.

Zhunti's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He had no doubt that Tongtian, that madman, was really capable of doing such a thing!

"Senior brother! Senior brother, please calm down!"

The Sage who was guiding him rushed forward, his old face contorted with bitterness. He was filled with remorse; if he had known that Chen Changsheng had such an unreasonable and fiercely protective person behind him, he would never have let his junior brother provoke this evil star.

He bowed repeatedly to the void, his posture extremely humble.

"Senior brother, the Seven Treasures Tree is the treasure that Junior Brother Zhunti used to attain enlightenment. He cultivates with it through life and death; it absolutely cannot be given away!"

"Please, senior brother, have mercy and change the conditions. As long as my Western Sect can provide it, we will offer it without hesitation!"

The Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Palace.

When the Jade Emperor saw this scene, his mouth almost stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

"Hahaha! That's great! Absolutely great!" He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne, laughing heartily. "I love Senior Brother Tongtian's temper! This is exactly how you deal with these two shameless bald monks! Let them know why the flowers are so red!"

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, looking at the domineering Tongtian in the water mirror, his heart growing heavier.

While Tongtian's actions certainly boosted the prestige of the Jie Sect, they also thoroughly offended the two Western Saints.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is likely to bring two more major variables.

Just when the atmosphere on Mount Sumeru reached a freezing point, and everyone thought that the Tongtian Sect Leader would continue to force the issue,

Chen Changsheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly heard a very familiar voice in his mind that made his heart skip a beat.

【Ding! 】

[A seven-star treasure location has been detected ahead. Activate treasure hunting navigation immediately?]

Chen Changsheng was overjoyed; this was exactly what he had been waiting for!

The last time we opened a level 8 treasure chest, we got a deadly weapon like the God-Slaying Spear!

What kind of extraordinary treasures must be buried in this seven-star treasure trove?

He suppressed his excitement and did not immediately turn on the navigation. Instead, he subconsciously followed the system's faint senses and turned his gaze to a certain mountain range deep within Mount Sumeru.

The place was bathed in Buddhist light and filled with auspicious energy; it looked like an ordinary, unremarkable sacred mountain.

However, according to the system's perception, deep beneath the sacred mountain lies a vast and powerful aura, terrifying enough to suppress the fortune of an entire sect!

What the hell!

Chen Changsheng cursed inwardly.

So it turns out this treasure map was actually posted in the heart of the Western Religion?

Or is it right under the noses of two saints?

This is really...exciting!

An extremely audacious idea instantly formed in his mind.

He looked at the Sage of Guidance who was still there crying poor and playing the victim, and then at his ancestor in the sky who was filled with murderous intent and was ready to tear down Mount Sumeru at the slightest provocation.

Got it!

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he abruptly raised his head, interrupting the Sage's words.

"To guide the sage!"

Chen Changsheng's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Both Jieyin and Zhunti were taken aback, wondering what kind of trouble this evil star was up to this time.

From the void, the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader, tinged with a hint of inquiry, echoed: "Chang Sheng, what do you have to say?"

Chen Changsheng bowed respectfully to the void, then turned to Jieyin and Zhunti, a meaningful smile on his face.

"Two sages, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for our grandmaster to ask for the Seven Treasures Tree."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing expressions of "this child is teachable".

See? This younger generation is the one who knows what's important.

However, Chen Changsheng's next words instantly froze the smiles on their faces.

"However, today's events originated from me, and also from the humiliation of my master, which has damaged the reputation of our Jie Sect."
