Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 263 The Strength of a Saint: Seeking the Great Luo in Seclusion
Looking at the Qingping Sword, Yunxiao's eyes revealed a doting smile as he reached out and stroked the blade.

"Alright, stop fooling around, hurry up and take me to find Master."

As Tongtian's most favored disciple, he had touched the Qingping Sword countless times and even used it several times, so he was naturally very familiar with it.

Upon hearing Yunxiao's words, the Qingping Sword actually nodded as if it were a person, emitting a clear ringing sound.

In an instant, azure sword energy emanated from the Qingping Sword, enveloping the three of them.

Then, it plunged into the chaos, but these powerful chaotic currents couldn't even break through the barrier of the cyan sword energy.

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Feng's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.

The powerful chaotic energy before them would even affect them, preventing them from lingering in the chaos for long.

Based on my previous casual conversation with Sister Wudang, it seems that only a quasi-saint level figure could remain unharmed here.

Even now, he can't guess what level the sage is at.

To enter the Quasi-Saint realm, one needs to sever the three corpses. A powerful person at this level has already reached the top and achieved a state of carefree ease.

Even a great calamity cannot affect them.

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, very few Great Luo Golden Immortals made it onto the list, but there were some, and some even died completely.

However, no one at the Quasi-Saint level ever died during the Great Calamity.

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian, the Four Emperors, and the Buddha Tathagata of the West are all figures who have severed their two corpses.

Besides Hongjun, only six others were able to overcome limitations and become saints. However, it is said that these six did not break through entirely on their own, but rather relied on a tremendous opportunity from heaven and earth to achieve the unity of their three bodies and reach the realm of saints.

Just as he was pondering this, Biyou Palace appeared in front of him.

Those powerful chaotic currents of energy disappeared completely after getting within a certain distance, directly erased by some mysterious force.

When the three arrived, the gates of Biyou Palace seemed to sense their presence and opened directly, revealing a straight path.

Looking at the familiar scene before him, a look of realization flashed across Yunxiao's eyes.

This is the ancestral temple of the Jie Sect, where our master taught his disciples and resolved their doubts.

The immortals of the Jie Sect were having a very pleasant time discussing the Dao.

The Jie Sect had a large number of disciples, making it a first-class golden age, a veritable gathering of ten thousand immortals.

But unexpectedly, a single battle to establish the gods completely destroyed the entire Jie Sect...

At this moment, Tongtian was no longer sitting high above in the main hall, but stood in the center, looking at the three of them with a smile.

Seeing his master whom he hadn't seen for hundreds of years, Yunxiao's emotions overwhelmed him. He took a few steps forward, bowed deeply, and his voice choked with emotion.

"Disciple Yunxiao greets Master. Master, I'm back..."

Upon hearing this, even Tongtian, a sage, was moved and nodded.

"Good, good, it's good that you're back..."

They looked at each other in silence, recalling the events of that year, their hearts filled with only desolation.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tongtian looked at Chen Feng with eyes full of admiration.

“Very good. Just as Wudang and I said before, it is truly our Jie Sect’s good fortune to have you as a disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly said, "Master, you flatter me. It is my great fortune to be able to become your disciple. You are really making me feel ashamed."

You can put on an act with Yunxiao and Wudang Shengmu, but to put on an act in front of a saint is really going too far.

Tongtian knew this kid's personality, so he chuckled and then reached out his hand. A ball of dancing golden flame appeared in his hand, and with a casual wave, it went to Chen Feng's side.

“Your eyes need to be enhanced by flames. Fortunately, the core divine fire of the Sun Star was born, so I asked Ziwei for a bundle of it.”

Feeling the power of the flames in his hand, Chen Feng couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Wow!"

This is the first time in decades that I've encountered something like this. Such a precious flame was given away so readily. He truly deserves to be called a saint.

"What are you planning to do next?"

Chen Feng extinguished the solar flames, pondered for a moment, and then answered his master's question.

"I'll go into seclusion to break through first. I'm not far from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm now. All I need is to accumulate more experience. It just so happens that because of the Sun Wukong incident, a new opportunity has come my way. In addition, the Buddhist sect has given me a series of spiritual items. Next, I plan to seek the Great Luo realm."

His current strength is already comparable to that of a Great Luo Immortal. If he were to raise his cultivation level, he would undoubtedly become an invincible being among those of the same level.

Once you reach this level, things become much easier.

Tongtian nodded, glanced at the sky, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"We need to be quick, something big is probably about to happen."

Looking at her master's expression, the Holy Mother Wudang asked in confusion, "Master, isn't the next thing the Journey to the West? What other major event could there be?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Eastern Emperor Bell."

Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed in the eyes of both Yunxiao and the Holy Mother Wudang.

Even Chen Feng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and look at his master in surprise.

The Donghuang Bell is a renowned artifact, one of the ten ancient divine treasures and a supreme innate treasure.

The Donghuang Bell is closely related to Donghuang Taiyi. Legend has it that the sun gave birth to Donghuang Taiyi, who was born holding the Chaos Bell. Therefore, the Chaos Bell is also called the Donghuang Bell.

After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the Eastern Emperor died. On his deathbed, he threw the Eastern Emperor Bell into the chaos, and it disappeared without a trace.

Judging from Master Tongtian's tone, this innate treasure is very likely to return.

Tongtian nodded and began to recount a long-hidden story.

"When the Eastern Emperor Bell left this world, we originally had a chance to intercept it, but our teacher used his methods and connected our energies to let it go to the outside world."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Eastern Emperor Bell will return within a few hundred years. At that time, this innate treasure will also draw upon spiritual energy and bring some world treasures."

"As previously agreed, the six of us sages are responsible for dealing with those troublesome worlds, and the rest will be left to others. Even Master Donghuang Zhong has instructed that he will descend into the starry sky, and the six of us are restricted from taking action."

This statement contains a tremendous amount of information.

As expected, these top experts are already capable of traversing the world.

The fact that the primordial world could cultivate so many powerful individuals is definitely extraordinary.

Chen Feng's years of cultivation had broadened his horizons, and he instantly understood the intention behind such behavior.

That day, Hongjun's methods were indeed extraordinary; he wanted to use the resources of countless worlds to nourish the Primordial World.

With the combined might of six sages and Hongjun, it's likely that almost no world could withstand their power...

Yunxiao frowned slightly, her fair and jade-like face softening gently. Seeing Chen Feng's expression, she assumed he was feeling reluctant and couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

“Junior Brother, this was decided by Master and several senior uncles together. We have no choice. Besides, this is for the sake of the Primordial World. Small worlds will also descend later. If you feel reluctant, you can also help.” As Tongtian’s most beloved disciple, she had known about this secret for a long time.

Although I felt sorry for him at the time and tried to persuade him, it was to no avail.

As time went by, she gradually stopped caring. Whenever such a situation arose, if she truly felt sorry for the small world, she would step in to save it and allow it to merge into the entire prehistoric world.

As expected, once you reach the fourth rank, you will have the power to decide the life and death of the world.

At the same time, the Holy Mother of Wudang briefly explained the situation to Chen Feng each time.

Thanks to the powerful attraction of the prehistoric world, every now and then some other worlds are drawn to it.

Under normal circumstances, they would be quickly dealt with by the Six Saints, and they would only go to the starry sky when there were too many worlds.

These worlds were generally taken to the West by the two Western Saints to be refined into smaller worlds, or used by other Saints for various purposes.

This has been the case since the beginning of time.

No world has ever been able to escape its control. Fourth-order powerhouses are as numerous as clouds, six saints are here, plus the Heavenly Dao Hongjun at the very end.

With his mind racing, Chen Feng looked up at his master, Tongtian, and asked a question that had been hidden deep in his heart for a long time.

"Master, I would like to ask, just how powerful are the saints?"

If we take this seriously, it could be considered disrespectful to a sage.

Facing his disciple, Tongtian did not seem too angry, but instead pondered carefully.

"Even as a saint, I am not so sure, because I don't know how to compare. You may have heard the saying, 'Below the saint, all are ants.'"

There is a famous saying from a previous life: Heaven is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs.

This "common people" does not refer to ordinary people, but to everyone except saints.

Before Chen Feng could continue pondering, Tongtian's voice rang out again.

"Below the level of a sage, I can tell you that no matter how powerful someone is, I can destroy them with a flick of my wrist. The only ones who can rival me are those who are also sages."

"The immortality of sages is not an empty statement. All six of us sages possess bodies that are indestructible through countless eons. As long as the Heavenly Dao does not perish, the true spirits of sages will live on forever. Even if the physical body collapses and the primordial spirit dissipates, we can be reborn instantly with the power of the Heavenly Dao."

"In addition, sages can control the rules of the universe, freely manipulate elements such as earth, water, fire, and wind, and possess the power to destroy and rebuild a world."

During the great war of the gods, Tongtian became furious at the death of the disciples of the Jie Sect. He wanted to disregard everything and recreate the earth, water, fire, and wind, destroying the existing world. This shows the sage's powerful control over the basic rules of the universe.

At that time, the other saints were powerless to stop it. In the end, it was their teacher, Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao, who stepped in and stopped everything, ordering all the saints to stay in the chaos and not to interfere in the affairs of the Six Realms.

Even just revealing a little is enough to show the immense power of a sage, a power that is multifaceted.

After chatting for a while, Chen Feng and the Holy Mother of Wudang took their leave.

After all, the two were high-ranking officials in the Heavenly Court and had many trivial matters to attend to; it wouldn't be appropriate for them to be away for too long.

Escorted by the Qingping Sword, the two left the place.

Only Yunxiao and Tongtian Jiaozhu remained in the Jade Palace.

Watching Chen Feng's departing figure, Tongtian smiled and said, "How about it? Your junior brother is quite extraordinary."

Yunxiao nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes. After a long while, he shook his head, his tone tinged with worry.

"This junior brother is excellent in every way. Whether it's his interpersonal skills, his scheming, or his strength, he's top-notch. It's just that he's too indifferent to worldly affairs."

"They seem to be very close to us, but in reality there is still a lot of isolation between us."

As beings born of nature, transformed from clouds in the heavens and earth, we are extremely sensitive to emotions and feelings.

"There's nothing I can do. He's only been a disciple for a short time. Perhaps he'll get much better with time. But indeed, Wudang is right. Taking in this disciple is truly the greatest blessing for our Jie Sect in this era."

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader's heart had quietly changed, and his regard for Chen Feng had gradually deepened.

…………

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Court, Chen Feng did not delay and was preparing to return to his residence to begin his seclusion.

Unexpectedly, her senior sister, the Holy Mother Wudang, suddenly called out to her, took out a very beautiful Qiankun bag, and handed it to her with a gentle expression.

“Junior Brother, since you joined the Jie Sect, I, as your senior sister, have never given you anything. It just so happens that Junior Brother Zhao and I have collected some spiritual items, as well as some of your Yunxiao's accumulated resources. Now that you are about to break through to the Great Luo realm, I will take this opportunity to give them to you.”

"Forget it, senior sister, the resources from the West are enough, we don't need that many."

Upon seeing the exquisite Qiankun bag, Chen Feng politely declined.

This Qiankun bag has always been with the Holy Mother Wudang. It contains her accumulated wealth over the years, along with the wealth and gifts from her two outer disciples, Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao. One can guess that the spiritual items inside must be extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Mother of Wudang still insisted on handing it over, and even personally delivered it to Chen Feng.

"It's alright. This is just a token of our appreciation. It wouldn't be right for you to refuse it. Besides, at my level, these spiritual items aren't of much use anymore."

Seeing this, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and finally accepted it.

"Then thank you very much, senior sister and senior brother."

Seeing that her junior brother had accepted the Qiankun Bag, the Holy Mother Wudang nodded gently and left.

Sitting cross-legged in a secret room in the backyard of the mansion, Chen Feng waved his hand, and the stars in the sky twinkled.

The next moment, dense starlight poured down, turning into thick fog.

Then he opened the beautiful Qiankun bag.

A pile of precious spiritual objects landed in front of them.

Nine-aperture Crystal Heart, Meteorite Spirit Core, Moonlit Dragon Fungus, Crimson Flame Scale Fruit, Mysterious Water Tortoise Shell Lotus...

They even found a Bodhi seed among them, which clearly showed that the Holy Mother of Wudang had also given Chen Feng the spiritual resources sent by the Western religion.

This feeling is rather unreal...

It must be said that although Chen Feng encountered great danger every time he awakened his consciousness, the masters and fellow disciples he met afterward were all excellent.

Tang Bingwen and Xu Qiuming were once the leader of the Tongtian Cult, and now the senior sister, the Holy Mother Wudang Yunxiao...

Perhaps this is God's compensation.

After a slight chuckle to himself, Chen Feng looked at the pile of spiritual objects before him, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes, but he didn't dwell on it further.

The Myriad Transformations Return to One Technique began to operate, absorbing the surrounding spiritual resources. At the same time, the innate vitality that had descended earlier also began to change, transforming into wisps of pure energy that traveled to various parts of the body, accelerating cultivation.

Time slipped away silently.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years have passed quietly.

On this day, thud!
A deep, resounding bell tolled throughout the Three Realms...
