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

When Zhang Zhuo took the Three Immortals out, a sudden change occurred outside Jin'ao Island.

A few days ago, disciples of the Jie Sect returned to Jin'ao Island one after another.

They didn't land on the island, but they witnessed a horrific scene.

The protective array on the island has been replaced.

The original Twelve Constellations Concealment Formation has been transformed into a more complex and unfamiliar formation.

Many disciples skilled in formations were unable to break it.

Thus, a strange scene unfolded on Jin'ao Island.

The immortals of the Jie Sect wanted to go home, but they were blocked outside the island and could not enter.

"Senior brothers, why are you here? Why don't you go back to the island?"

"Alas, we wanted to land on the island, but the formation on the island has been changed."

"We are unable to break the formation and cannot land on the island."

"Who would dare do this on Jin'ao Island? They're asking for death!"

"It must have been Master or Senior Brother who switched them. Sure enough, it was Master and Senior Brother."

"Only they could set up such a sophisticated formation."

"They set up this formation to test the results of our training."

……

Outside Jin'ao Island, the immortals of the Jie Sect were discussing the matter animatedly.

At first, some people were very angry, thinking that someone dared to act recklessly in the immortal sect.

However, they quickly concluded that no one dared to do so, and believed that Master Tongtian or Senior Brother Zhang Zhuo had changed the formation to test the effectiveness of their training.

This judgment is only half correct.

They couldn't break through the formation to enter; the formation was too profound.

Wanxian had no choice but to set up camp outside Jin'ao Island.

A few days later, Master Tongtian returned.

Why are you all outside?

Tongtian was very surprised to see that his disciples were camping outside instead of going to the island.

"Master, did you change the formation to test us?"

The disciples of the Jie Sect were even more confused.

It seems... it wasn't Master who did it. Could it be that Senior Brother changed the formation?

What kind of test is this?

Tongtian immediately recalled the incident not long ago when he brought the Three Immortals back, and how his eldest disciple Zhang Zhuo changed the family's formation and refused him entry.

Zhang Zhuo led the Three Immortals on a training expedition and they have not returned yet.

However, the disciples mistakenly believed that this was a test set by Tongtian, and unexpectedly, this approach produced a very good effect.

"Since you saw through it, it means this training was indeed effective."

Tongtian's eyes lit up. He first nodded in approval, then sternly reprimanded, "But you must not be arrogant because of this."

"What's the point of cultivation if you can't even break through an array?"

The immortals of the Jie Sect all showed smug expressions upon hearing the first sentence.

Their purpose in undergoing this trial was to earn a word of praise from their master, Tongtian.

Upon hearing the last sentence, all the immortals blushed deeply and lowered their heads in shame.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the island!"

Tongtian looked around at everyone, nodded, and then suddenly waved his hand.

In an instant, he appeared in front of the protective formation of Jin'ao Island.

Unbeknownst to the other immortals, Tongtian was actually quite relieved.

Before setting off, he consulted his apprentice on how to break the Thirteen Tai Chi Concealment Divine Array; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enter the island today.

If he is blocked from entering, his authority as a leader will be lost.

Therefore, the method of breaking the formation was immediately used, and the mountain-protecting formation shook violently.

"Boom!"

The mountain-protecting formation shattered instantly, and the Thirteen Tai Chi Concealment Divine Formation was broken.

Tongtian smiled with satisfaction.

His apprentice was indeed a genius in formations, having reached the highest level and possessing extremely high attainments.

He clearly remembered that when he explained the mystery of this formation to his two elder brothers the day before yesterday, they were very surprised!

The Three Pure Ones have parted ways, but not long ago they agreed to participate in a grand gathering to discuss the Dao.

The discussion of Tao is a gathering of old friends reuniting.

In the words of their own disciples, this is a grand gathering to compete in cultivation.

That's right, it's a competition of cultivation levels.

That day, when the Tongtian Sect Leader explained in detail the mysteries of the Thirteen Taiji Concealment Divine Array.

Even with the combined efforts of the eldest brother, Laozi, and the second brother, Yuanshi, it still took them a long time to crack the code.

Later, they praised this formation as a masterpiece, created by an unparalleled genius.

Thinking of this, Tongtian was very pleased, especially when he thought of his second brother, Yuanshi.

Didn't he once look down on his own disciples for their poor aptitude?

When Tongtian told everyone that this formation was created by a mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator, Yuanshi's astonished and ashen face was truly laughable!

Tongtian laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy.

He was indeed enjoying immense success.

Just as he was thinking this, the formation on Jin'ao Island shattered.

"Go in."

"If you can't even break through such a small formation in the future, don't call yourself a disciple of Tongtian!"

Tongtian waved his sleeve, gesturing to the assembled immortals, who were astonished, and the disciples filed in.

The disciples looked at each other blankly, and Tongtian suddenly felt bored.

A disciple asked, "Master, why is there another formation?"

A large array suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Tongtian was stunned.

When I arrived on the island, there was only one Thirteen Tai Chi Concealment Divine Array. How come there is an extra one now?

An ominous feeling immediately arose in Tongtian's heart.

My premonition seems to have come true...

He released his divine sense to re-examine the formation, and was stunned once again.

What lies before us is neither the Twelve Constellations Hidden Formation nor the Thirteen Tai Chi Hidden Divine Formation.

Instead, it was an array formation never seen before.

This formation is vast and boundless.

The formation manifests: The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Taiji, Taiji transforms into Wuji, and Wuji gives rise to all things.

Its profound mystery is the gateway to all wonders.

This formation is more magnificent and ingenious than the Thirteen Tai Chi Concealment Divine Formation.

The Master of Heaven had completely lost his way.

He immediately realized that this was the work of his eldest disciple.

His lips twitched, and his face darkened.

He had no idea that his eldest disciple would once again arbitrarily modify the formation.

But this time it's completely different.

This time it's even more outrageous; they've added another massive formation directly to the Thirteen Tai Chi Concealment Divine Formation!

With the two top-tier formations complementing each other, Jin'ao Island is indestructible and has become one of the safest places in the prehistoric world.

However, the Tongtian Sect Master's dojo was already impregnable, and even without the protection of the great formation, it was one of the safest places!

The key point is that after careful observation, the Tongtian Sect Leader discovered that he simply could not break the formation.

This is completely unreasonable.

With the Thirteen Tai Chi Divine Formation before him, he was unable to break through this deeper formation.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, recalling his boastful words, felt ashamed and nervous in the face of the expectations of the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect.

Tongtian thought to himself: I can't break the formation, what should I do? The situation is urgent, I need to think of a solution immediately.

Tongtian stood still, which puzzled the disciples of the Jie Sect.

The other immortals already knew the reason.

A celestial being wanted to speak, but was stopped by Tongtian.

"Ahem, Senior Brother and his three Junior Sisters haven't returned yet."

"This formation is to test everyone; I will not show favoritism to anyone."

"We'll wait here and let them test their skills."

Tongtian spoke calmly, and at the same time introduced the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao.

He remained calm and composed, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Some of his disciples believed him.

However, some people have already seen through Tongtian's true intentions.

"Master's attitude is completely different now than it was just now."

"It is an obvious fact that his expression changed drastically when he first saw this formation."

"This formation must have been set up by the senior brother."

"Even Master couldn't solve it, which is why he's waiting here for Senior Brother to return."

A chubby Taoist priest rolled his eyes and whispered.

Although his voice was soft, everyone present was an immortal, and they could hear every word clearly.

The immortals listened and agreed with him, and immediately became interested.

They were even more curious about what their master would do, so they all looked up at him.

At this moment, the fat Taoist realized he had said the wrong thing, his face changed drastically, and he was filled with regret.

He quickly looked up, wanting to explain to Tongtian.

However, when he looked up, he was terrified, his soul almost leaving his body, and his mouth gaped open.

Because he saw a soul exactly like his leave his body!

I was absolutely terrified!

The sight before them was astonishing—Tongtian's figure suddenly vanished, only to reappear before Duobao like a ghost.

He was expressionless and devoid of any emotion, but the atmosphere around him was extremely oppressive.

All the disciples retreated, and even the air seemed to freeze, making it hard for the obese Duobao to breathe.

"My good disciple Duobao, you're usually not as clever as your senior brother, how come you've suddenly become so smart today?"

Duobao's appearance made Tongtian want to kill him with a single blow.

"Your very soul has emerged."

"I checked, you haven't been possessed, but rather you're not being controlled by a spirit, are you?"

"Then I will cut open your stomach and extract your primordial spirit for examination."

"Or is it that you've always been dissatisfied with me?"

Duobao's face immediately changed, and he felt extremely frightened, trembling violently.

As Tongtian spoke, Duobao's face grew increasingly grim, until he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Master, spare my life! Your disciple loves and respects you, and has absolutely no disloyalty!"

"I swear, I never had such a thought!"

……

"Yes, I know you wouldn't dare to do that."

"You must break through a minor realm within three days and come to see me."

"If you can't do that, first seal your cultivation and run ten laps around the island, then copy the Jie Sect's precepts a million times, and also..."

Tongtian glanced at Duobao and then announced a series of punishments.

Duobao's expression changed.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to frame him.

I'm already a Golden Immortal, how could I possibly break through in three days?

He doesn't have his senior brother's talent; he absolutely couldn't do it.

Jin'ao Island is very large.

Even at full speed, it would take a month to circle the Earth ten times.

Add to that his enormous body and the one million recitations of the precepts.

Master, are you sure it's one million and not one hundred?

This could kill someone!

Duobao looked at Tongtian pitifully, but Tongtian completely ignored him.

Newly enlightened disciples should be given special "care".

After punishing Duobao, Tongtian immediately closed his eyes and sat in meditation, his heart filled with rage.

Zhang Zhuo!

This was the second time they had been blocked at the mountain gate, and Duobao even pointed out the strange looks from the disciples.

Tongtian grew angrier the more he thought about it, gritting his teeth.

enough!

That's enough!

Tongtian swore that from now on he would focus on studying formations and would never allow today's incident to happen again!

Three strikes and you're out!

He made this vow, and that was the decision.

Because of Zhang Zhuo, Tongtian began to study formations frantically.

at the same time.

Tongtian closed his eyes to rest for a while. The immortals of the Jie Sect looked at each other, unsure whether to leave or stay. In the end, they could only close their eyes and sit cross-legged.

There was really no other way; the situation was just too awkward.

Time passed.

Just as Tongtian and the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect were waiting in silence, three urgent cries for help suddenly broke the tranquility.

"Master, help me!"

The desperate cries for help echoed all around.

Tongtian and Wanxian suddenly opened their eyes and looked up at the sky.

Three figures immediately appeared in front of everyone.

They were Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds.

"Where is your senior brother?"

As soon as the Three Immortals returned, Tongtian noticed that Zhang Zhuo was not there and immediately asked.

"Master, hurry and save our eldest brother! He's in danger!"

The three immortals were breathing heavily, clearly having come on foot, and their voices were filled with panic.

Tongtian was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage.

"Who dares to harm a disciple of my Tongtian Sect? Speak up!"

He raised his hand to stabilize the chaotic magical power of the Three Immortals and questioned them sternly.

The disciples of the Jie Sect were also filled with indignation.

"Senior Brother is in danger!"

"Who dares to harm anyone from my Jie Sect? Junior Sister, tell me who it is!"

"How dare he harm my senior brother! I, Jin Ling, will be the first to not let him get away with it!"

"Me too, Turtle Spirit!"

When Zhang Zhuo was in danger, Wan Xian was immediately enraged, his killing intent surged like a tide, and he unleashed his full power!

The entire Jie Sect is united as one.

Zhang Zhuo is the eldest disciple, and it is the rule of the Jie Sect that when one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides.

It's normal for a single stream of energy to be released, but when ten thousand immortals exert their power simultaneously, the energy soars to the heavens!

This oppressive force caused all the vegetation within a 100,000-mile radius to collapse, and all living things to tremble!

The cultivators who were in seclusion near Jin'ao Island were also alarmed, thinking that a powerful enemy had attacked, and immediately rushed out of their seclusion.

The three immortals of Sanxiao were deathly pale. If it weren't for Tongtian's protection, they would have succumbed to the pressure long ago.

"A month ago, my senior brother took us on a training trip."

"We spent a month preparing the equipment, and we prepared a full one hundred sets of plans..."

The Three Immortals immediately explained what had happened.

Tongtian and Wanxian fell silent after hearing this; this was indeed the way their senior brother did things.

"Once preparations were complete, my senior brother took us to a fairyland to practice our skills against a toad spirit."

"That toad demon was very well hidden; it was actually at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm."

"Senior brother also concealed his true strength, only displaying his late-stage Celestial Immortal cultivation, and instantly killed the toad demon with the power of the laws."

"To ensure safety, he used hundreds of methods to reinforce it."

"As a result, this attracted the Yin-Yang Twin-Headed Flood Dragon, a peak Golden Immortal."

"Our eldest brother fought the enemy with all his might to protect us."

Tongtian and all the immortals were stunned; they couldn't believe that their senior brother had been hiding such a powerful cultivation level.

The eldest brother is always cautious.

To deal with a mere celestial being, he not only concealed most of his strength but also used the laws of nature...

Wait, it's a rule!

Tongtian and Wanxian stared wide-eyed.

The rule in the cultivation world is: only those who have reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and comprehended the laws can become Quasi-Saints.

This means that only quasi-saints can use the laws.

However, no matter how talented the eldest brother is, even after cultivating for ten thousand years and researching other things, his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of Golden Immortal.

Otherwise, his cultivation level would definitely be higher.

However, how could a mid-stage Golden Immortal possibly use laws!

Could it be... that Senior Brother has been hiding his true strength again!

His true cultivation level was not that of a Golden Immortal, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, or a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Rather, a quasi-saint?

Is he only one step away from becoming a saint?

Tongtian and the others froze instantly, their surging momentum coming to an abrupt halt.

They were shocked by Zhang Zhuo's hidden cultivation level.

They didn't hear a word the Sanxiao said after that.

Absurd! What's so great about a peak Golden Immortal? Senior Brother can control the laws; he could kill him with a single palm strike.

But what the immortals didn't know was that Tongtian's heart was already in turmoil.

The reason is simple: his own disciple deceived him.

As a sage, he knew Zhang Zhuo's character all too well, and had even used his sage power to observe him secretly.

So when Tongtian first learned that his disciple was a mid-stage Golden Immortal, he was secretly pleased...

But now, my understanding has been completely overturned.

Zhang Zhuoneng was able to use the laws to prove that he was a quasi-saint and a great power!
