Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

The two Western Saints acted in this way because they wanted to demand an explanation for what was happening in the primordial world at this moment.

However, no matter how much the two Western Saints cried and sobbed, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not even glance at them.

Instead, he looked at the Three Pure Ones, paying particular attention to Laozi, and even nodded with satisfaction.

Taiqing Laozi keenly captured this sense of relief.

My mind raced with thoughts...

The teacher is very pleased?

What makes you feel gratified?

Since the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Master has basically never appeared again...

This time, the Journey to the West is facing a great calamity!

Could it be because of my previous arrangements?

Did Duobao enter the West?

Or is it... for some other reason?

besides!!!

In the primordial world, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect clashed, and Li Xuancang was the catalyst for this conflict.

Now the teacher has returned...

Could this variable be related to the teacher?

No... The teacher is constrained by the laws of nature; he shouldn't be able to create such a huge change...

However, the tribulation lightning in the primordial world is definitely related to the teacher!

In other words... the teacher is showing favoritism...

The teacher also did not want to see the West prosper, nor did he want the purpose of Heaven to be achieved.

But the teacher has already merged with the Heavenly Dao. What good would it do the teacher to stop the Heavenly Dao?

Or perhaps Heaven has some scheme in mind, forcing the teacher to intervene...

Taiqing Laozi truly deserves to be called the most skilled strategist among all the sages.

Just from a single glance from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Taiqing Laozi had already thought of many things.

The two Western Saints cried for a long time, but seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun seemed to have no intention of acknowledging them, they could only shut their mouths in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Dao Ancestor Hongjun gave Taiqing Laozi a gratified look, then turned to look at Tongtian Jiaozhu.

"Reaching the Heavens..."

The Tongtian Sect Leader hurriedly bowed again.

"Teacher, your disciple is here!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader held the Dao Ancestor in high esteem. During the Investiture of the Gods, the Tongtian Sect Leader was well aware of the enormity of his actions.

The karmic backlash from the entire primordial world was so severe that even the Tongtian Sect Leader at that time did not consider surviving.

If the cycle of fire, earth, wind, and water were to repeat itself, then all the so-called sages would naturally disappear!

Yet, despite this world-destroying cause and effect, the Tongtian Sect Leader was completely unharmed.

Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader were slow-witted, he would understand that his teacher had deflected all these questions…

It was merely a single Fallen Saint Pill, yet the Three Pure Ones were strictly forbidden from fighting amongst themselves, and he was confined to the Purple Cloud Palace.

To put it bluntly, is this considered punishment?!

For a saint, this is nothing!

So, while the Tongtian Sect Leader was incredibly arrogant when facing the Two Western Saints, he was as obedient as a child when facing the Dao Ancestor.

When looking at the Tongtian Sect Leader, Dao Ancestor Hongjun surprisingly showed a slight smile.

It just goes to show that the youngest son is spoiled...

Tongtian Jiaozhu, the third of the Three Pure Ones, was indeed the most favored.

The person who received the most treasures at the Treasure Distribution Cliff was always the teacher who would cover for them, even if they later caused a major disaster.

Perhaps this is also related to the image of the Tongtian Sect Leader. The Taiqing Sage is depicted as an old man, the Yuanshi Tianzun as a middle-aged man, and only the Tongtian Sect Leader is a young man.

Then, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun slowly spoke...

"Tongtian, how long have you been in Zixiao Palace?"

The Master of Heaven scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Teacher, you're the one who locked me up in solitary confinement, so why are you asking me how long I've been in Zixiao Palace?

Although he was puzzled, the Master of Heaven answered truthfully...

"Teacher, ever since I made a grave mistake during the Investiture of the Gods, I have been listening to your teachings in Zixiao Palace."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded again.

"I'm in the Purple Cloud Palace, but I've lost all my magical treasures."

"I know you're a restless person. Without a magical treasure to play with, you probably wouldn't be able to stay still, would you?"

Upon hearing these words, the Tongtian Sect Leader chuckled.

"Hehe... I wouldn't dare lie to the teacher."

"One of the disciple's three corpses took in a disciple in the primordial world."

"This disciple's name is Li Xuancang. He is clever and quick-witted, and truly delightful."

"The prehistoric world is not like the ancient times, and it is much more difficult to obtain good magical artifacts now."

"So the disciple handed over all his magical treasures to his apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun finally understood: So all the magical treasures I crafted before were given to your disciple?!

And even my older brother helped Tongtian deceive me!

Yuanshi Tianzun was somewhat unhappy...

But Yuanshi Tianzun dared not speak.

After all, his teacher was talking to Tongtian at the moment, so how could he, as a disciple, interrupt?

Meanwhile, the two Western Saints narrowed their eyes.

cut!

What you, the Tongtian Cult Leader, say sounds nice.

Isn't this all just a scheme to scheme against my Western Buddhism?!

It can only be said that people are dirty, and everything they see is dirty.

The two Western Saints were used to scheming, so they believed that the Tongtian Sect Leader had taken in Li Xuancang in order to scheme against the Western Buddhist sect and to use Li Xuancang to deal with the West during the Journey to the West.

But in reality, the Master of Heaven never thought that way.

When they accepted Li Xuancang, it was largely because of one of Li Xuancang's words, in order to find a glimmer of hope...

The Tongtian Sect Leader felt that this child was compatible with his temperament and tastes, and also had quick wit, so he took him as a disciple.

Later, Li Xuancang's involvement in the Heavenly Tribulation was also due to the Tongtian Sect Leader's compliance with Li Xuancang's wishes...

Otherwise, the Tongtian Sect Leader would prefer that Li Xuancang go to the Holy Mother of Wudang and not get involved in the Great Tribulation.

Let's leave aside for now the inner thoughts of Yuanshi Tianzun and the two Western Saints...

After hearing what Tongtian Jiaozhu said, Daozu Hongjun nodded.

"You made a grave mistake back then, so I took back the Four Swords of Zhuxian from you."

"Now you don't have any magic weapon at your disposal..."

"Since that's the case, I will return the Four Swords of Zhuxian to you today."

"I hope you will use it carefully and not make another big mistake!"

Upon hearing these words from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, not only was Tongtian Jiaozhu stunned.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, whether it was the Supreme Saint, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, or the Two Western Saints, all the saints stared wide-eyed!

What the hell?!

Did we hear that right?!

What should we return to the Tongtian Sect Leader?!

The Four Swords of Zhuxian?!

The Primordial Celestial Venerable looked on incredulously.

Taiqing Laozi was thinking wildly.

The two Western Saints, namely the Saint of Amitabha and the Saint of Cundi, felt as if a huge danger was written on their foreheads!

After realizing what was happening, the Tongtian Sect Leader hurriedly spoke up.

"This disciple thanks Master greatly!!!"

"Please rest assured, Master, I will absolutely restrain myself and will never make another grave mistake!!!"

As soon as the Tongtian Sect Leader finished speaking, Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his sleeve, and four immortal swords flew out, slowly coming to rest in front of the Tongtian Sect Leader...

These four immortal swords are none other than the Four Swords of Zhuxian!
