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

At this moment, the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader burned with fervor...

Even though he was already a saint, his breathing still became somewhat rapid.

He stretched out a hand and slowly stroked the blade of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Upon seeing this, the smile on Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face seemed to deepen.

"How long are you going to keep touching it? Hurry up and put it away!"

"He's such a child who never grew up."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt a lump in his throat for some reason.

After accepting the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Tongtian Sect Leader hurriedly bowed again.

"Thank you, Master!"

"In front of a teacher, a student is always a child."

Seeing this scene, Yuanshi Tianzun felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Is it because Tongtian looks young that he is especially favored by his teacher?

Although I am the second brother of Tongtian, we were actually born around the same time...

Logically speaking, I'm a child too!!!

The Primordial Celestial Venerable felt a pang of sadness, but the Supreme Pure Laozi had much more on his mind.

The fact that the teacher returned the Four Swords of Zhuxian to Tongtian at this time must have a deeper meaning!

The teacher couldn't possibly be unaware of Tongtian's temperament.

Just as Tongtian was arguing with the two Western Saints, his teacher returned and brought over the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Could it be that his teacher was afraid that Tongtian would suffer a loss in front of the two Western Saints?

Or perhaps... the teacher hopes Tongtian can protect Li Xuancang?!

Or perhaps the teacher has some other, deeper thoughts...

Taiqing Laozi was also somewhat puzzled for a moment.

Meanwhile, the two Western Saints were genuinely panicked.

In the past, the two of them could easily confront the Tongtian Sect Leader without much trouble, but now the Tongtian Sect Leader wields the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

What if this guy gets carried away and sets up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation...?

Then, to their heart's content, they'll lock the two of them inside the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation...

I'm awesome!!!

You come and face me, my opponent!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at the Three Pure Ones once more. Yuanshi Tianzun thought his teacher might say a few words to him, but he didn't.

The Daoist Ancestor merely glanced at the Three Pure Ones, and then, with a hint of disdain, gave the Two Sages of the West a final look…

Immediately afterwards, they heard Dao Ancestor Hongjun speak.

"I am aware of the affairs of the primordial era..."

"The Journey to the West will continue as before, and the great prosperity of the West is ordained by Heaven and cannot be changed."

"You must also remember that the Three Pure Ones must not fight amongst themselves!"

After speaking, Dao Ancestor Hongjun slowly closed his eyes, and his whole being returned to that cold feeling.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu did not think much of it, but after hearing these words, Taiqing Shengren's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

What the teacher just said was quite profound.

It's normal for teachers to know about things that happened in the primordial world, because teachers are now part of the natural order.

But what the teacher just said was spoken in his capacity as a teacher, not as the will of Heaven!

The teacher just said that the Journey to the West tribulation will continue as before, and that the West will prosper as ordained by Heaven, but he didn't say that this was ordained by the Emperor himself...

In other words, this was ordained by Heaven, and has nothing to do with him!

Finally, the teacher emphasized that the Three Pure Ones must not fight amongst themselves...

We already knew about this, so why is the teacher emphasizing it again today?

Thinking of this, Taiqing Laozi inadvertently glanced at the two Western Saints.

The Three Pure Ones must not fight amongst themselves...

The Two Saints of the West...

Taiqing Laozi suddenly laughed when he thought of this.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was there, playing with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, looking extremely happy.

Yuanshi Tianzun noticed his elder brother Taiqing Laozi's smile and asked him something out of curiosity.

"Big brother, have you thought of something happy?"

Taiqing Laozi looked at Yuanshi Tianzun.

"It's nothing...you should just focus on resting your brain."

Meanwhile, in the primordial wilderness...

The countless immortals and Buddhas watched the tribulation lightning brewing in the sky, their initial surprise and astonishment turning into utter bewilderment...

What is this lightning tribulation doing?!

Why is it still in the planning stages and hasn't been approved yet?!

Even Guanyin Bodhisattva was somewhat bewildered...

Could it be that this lightning tribulation wasn't meant to strike me?

But just after Li Xuancang finished speaking, the tribulation began to brew. If it wasn't me, then who was it going to strike?

But why does this tribulation of lightning seem a bit off...?

It wasn't just Guanyin Bodhisattva who had this doubt.

Both the gods of Heaven and the Buddhas of the West were extremely puzzled at this moment.

The two most powerful forces in the entire prehistoric world, and the most outstanding group of powerful beings, were all staring blankly at the sky at this moment.

Li Xuancang scratched his head, somewhat bewildered, and looked at Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, standing beside him...

"Junior Brother Gongming, has this heavenly tribulation always been like this?"

"Does it always take this long to prepare?"

Li Xuancang had never seen a proper lightning tribulation before, because lightning tribulations in the prehistoric world were basically controlled by the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court. If the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court said it wanted to strike you, then you simply couldn't escape!

However, this tribulation was clearly unrelated to the Heavenly Court; it was a tribulation inherent to the primordial world itself.

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, shook his head, looking equally bewildered…

"Senior brother, this is the first time I've encountered a lightning tribulation like this. I've never seen one brew for so long before, and the power of the lightning tribulation hasn't increased at all..."

"So it's clearly not building up its power, but it just won't come down. It's really strange."

The gods in Heaven were discussing it amongst themselves, and the same was true in the Western Buddhist community.

Since the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were not present, the strongest person there was naturally the Buddha.

The Buddha is at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, and the only difference between him and the Saint realm is a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.

If one possessed the Primordial Purple Qi, the Buddha would likely become a saint immediately.

Therefore, at this very moment, the Buddha was watching the tribulation lightning in the sky with great seriousness…

All that could be seen was the Buddha narrowing his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his pupils.

This lightning tribulation seems a bit off!

It's normal for the Primordial Thunder Tribulation to contain a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Cihang just spoke rudely, so it's only natural that Heaven would punish him...

However, this power of Heaven is somewhat abnormal.

Why does it feel like the will of Heaven is split into two, and they are currently locked in a struggle?

A celestial force was about to unleash a tribulation lightning bolt...

There is also a force of Heavenly Dao, seemingly trying to stop the tribulation lightning...

The Buddha felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Two forces of Heavenly Dao!

Two consciousnesses!

The Way of Heaven... I am one with the Way of Heaven...

Is this the will of Heaven and the advisor?!

That means...

The one who wanted to destroy Cihang was the advisor; the one who wanted to stop it was Heaven's will!

Has this matter even alarmed the old master?!

However, even the Buddha of Many Treasures was unsure whether his guess was correct…

Meanwhile, deep within the Heavenly Dao.

This place is neither observable nor describable; it is neither primordial nor chaotic.

Two opposing viewpoints... or rather, two sets of rules are clashing!

"The Way of Heaven!!!"

"That Cihang is a quasi-saint, yet he disrespects the primordial world, disrespects saints, and even insults the great god Pangu, comparing him to a spinning top!!!"

"How could the laws of Heaven not punish him?!"

"If you try to stop me again, believe me, I'll make you fly!"
