Primordial Era: The Steady Senior Brother, Tongtian is Going Crazy

Tongtian was filled with doubt, but now was not the time to investigate further.

He briefly instructed his other disciples before heading off alone to Kunlun Mountain.

in fact……

If we don't leave now, when will we?

Are you going to wait for your own disciple to awaken from his enlightenment and come to slap you in the face?

Since Zhang Zhuo has already made the decision to compromise, what harm is there in letting him prepare?

Long after Tongtian left, Zhang Zhuo slowly woke up.

Upon waking, he revealed his immense magical power, which protected his body as he cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Seeing that only his junior brothers and sisters were in front of him, he did not relax at all, but instead used a secret technique to probe them.

"This enlightenment is really no good; it forcibly puts people into a deep sleep."

"If I am ambushed during this time, or if someone overheard my preparations and comes to attack me."

"At worst, someone will impersonate my junior brothers and sisters..."

"Alright, to be on the safe side, it's best to investigate first!"

Zhang Zhuo muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, Duobao, Jinling, and Guiling were all stunned.

The Three Immortals: "So what our eldest brother said earlier wasn't a joke, but something he really meant!"

Duobao and the others had no choice but to let Zhang Zhuo investigate.

After exploring it ten times.

Zhang Zhuo was relieved to confirm that the people in front of him were indeed his junior brothers and sisters, and that no one else was impersonating them.

Afterwards, everyone told Zhang Zhuo about Tongtian's departure and related instructions.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhuo did not go to Yuxu Palace as instructed, but instead turned around and headed towards his cave.

"Senior Brother, shouldn't we obey Master's orders and head to Jade Void Palace?"

Duobao couldn't help but ask.

The voice just fell.

"Bang!"

Duobao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his forehead.

"When you first joined my sect, what did I teach you? On the path to sainthood, safety comes first!"

"What? As my junior brother and the second senior brother of the Jie Sect, you've completely forgotten these words? It seems I need to give you a good lesson!"

Zhang Zhuo was furious.

Upon hearing this, Duobao's obese body trembled violently, as if he had remembered something terrifying.

He immediately went to Zhang Zhuo's side, squatted down, grabbed his trouser leg, and began to act pitiful.

"Senior brother, I know I was wrong. I will always remember your teachings!"

Duobao cried out.

In this situation, he had no choice but to act so willfully.

Zhang Zhuo ostensibly offered to tutor him.

However, a question-and-answer session is always included, and if he cannot answer, he will be punished.

The punishment was none other than taking away a magical treasure from him, or at the very least, having to forge a magical treasure for him!

They even said that as the second senior brother of the Jie Sect, he should set an example, and that without lessons learned through blood and tears, one would not truly learn from them...

Whenever he thought of this, Duobao couldn't help but recall the hundreds of magical treasures that Zhang Zhuo had taken away in the past.

The bitterness in my heart was indescribable!

"Alright, we won't punish you this time. But if there's a next time, the punishment will be doubled!"

Zhang Zhuo kicked his foot, but found that the plaster on his foot wouldn't come off, which left him somewhat helpless.

However, it must be said that those counterfeit Twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were quite useful.

After the playful banter, Zhang Zhuo began to focus on preparing for the Three Religions Grand Competition.

"First of all, the stronghold must be protected; it must be guarded."

"Let's entrust this arduous task to Master's attendant, Chang Er Ding Guangxian..."

"Secondly, beware of sneak attacks."

"What if my master disregards his reputation and acts impulsively..."

"And if Daoist Ran Deng also joins the fray..."

Just as Zhang Zhuo was making all the necessary preparations, let's talk about Tongtian.

……

After he left, he appeared out of thin air outside the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain!

Inside the Jade Void Palace.

At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a futon was discussing Taoism with an elderly Taoist priest with white hair.

The two addressed each other as the second brother and the eldest brother, and they were in the Jade Void Palace.

It is none other than Yuqing Yuanshi and Taiqing Laozi!

However, the moment Tongtian appeared, the two of them had a sudden thought and looked out of the palace at the same time.

He then flashed and appeared out of thin air beside Tongtian.

"Third brother, why have you only arrived now?"

"Could it be that your cultivation has not improved over the years, but has actually regressed?"

As soon as he appeared, Yuanshi smiled meaningfully.

The implication was self-evident.

The separation of the Three Pure Ones, coupled with the accumulated resentment over countless eons, led to their separation.

This has long since shaped the unique way people from Zu'an greet each other.

However, faced with Yuanshi's ridicule, the straightforward Tongtian did not choose to remain silent.

"Alas, it's all because of my good-for-nothing eldest disciple."

"Second brother, tell me, he only had sixty-five moments of enlightenment over ten thousand years."

"And just now, the sixty-sixth epiphany occurred."

"Alas, it would have been better to have realized this too early or too late; it just so happens to happen at this very moment."

"It's too difficult for me, as his master, to also protect him!"

Each gathering, in the words of his disciple Zhang Zhuo, is a skills-showing contest.

At first, the simple-minded Tongtian didn't quite believe it.

However, with each meeting, Yuanshi would make sarcastic remarks, and even though Tongtianzun considered him his elder brother, he could not tolerate it in the end.

Over time, they naturally chose to confront each other head-on.

Sure enough, Tongtian immediately used Zhang Zhuo as a shield.

It must be said that Zhang Zhuo was truly his winning formula.

as predicted.

Just as he finished speaking, Yuanshi's expression froze.

A sudden realization!

Moreover, he achieved enlightenment sixty-six times in ten thousand years!

You've gone too far! Your pretense has reached such a level!

At first, Yuan Shi was somewhat surprised, but after hearing this, his face was full of disbelief.

Even Taiqing Laozi, who was standing to the side, glanced at it briefly upon first hearing it, but then ignored it completely.

Seeing this, Tongtian understood the implication, but the facts were undeniable, and he had no way to refute them.

"Third brother, consider my Daoist practice on Kunlun Mountain. Compared to your Jin'ao Island, which is superior? Do you have any intention of changing your practice location?"

After Yuanshi finished speaking, his expression remained calm.

Although he appeared calm, his pride was evident in his words.

He had no other intention than to show off his abilities in front of Tongtian.

He said that compared with his own Kunlun Mountain, the Tongtian Daoist Temple on Jin'ao Island was simply unbearable to look at, and urged him to quickly change his Daoist temple.

Moreover, Kunlun Mountain is the ancestral mountain of all.

The mountains stretch endlessly, brimming with spiritual energy, and are shrouded in a continuous mist of ethereal rain.

Kunlun Mountain is an eternal fairyland, worthy of the title of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors.

Tongtian glanced at Kunlun Mountain with an air of importance, then spoke directly to Yuanshi.

"Senior brother, this mountain is indeed beautiful; it can be considered a fairyland we used to frequent."

"But it's not good enough, otherwise Lao Tzu and I wouldn't have left."

"Moreover, your dojo is also terrible. As a saint of heaven and earth, your dojo is so shabby and lacks class."

Anyone can show off their grandeur.

Tongtian looked down at the simple Jade Void Palace, where the disciples' training grounds consisted of dilapidated caves and straw mats.

Comparing it to the magnificent palaces on his own Jin'ao Island, he felt secretly smug.

I must say, the transformations my disciples have made on Jin'ao Island are becoming more and more pleasing to the eye!

His words were quite clear: the first sentence seemed like praise, but in reality, he looked down on Kunlun Mountain.

Otherwise, Lao Tzu and I would not have left long ago.

The implication is: We all look down on this place, but you treat it like a treasure.

Not only did it shut Laozi up, leaving him unable to refute, but it also made him secretly despise Laozi.
