Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

At this moment, the atmosphere inside Biyou Palace was as heavy as lead, and there was not a sound.

Outside Biyou Palace, Lingya Xian and the others, having crippled their cultivation, lay weakly on the ground like withered leaves. Their auras were chaotic, their faces as pale as paper, and every weary expression told of the harrowing ordeal they had just endured.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sat cross-legged on the prayer mat in Biyou Palace, resembling a majestic mountain peak, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Tongtian unleashed a soft yet boundless light from his hand, like a cascading galaxy, instantly enveloping Lingya Xian and the others.

Wherever the light touched, the injuries of Lingya Xian and the others began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Their pale faces gradually regained their color, their disordered breathing slowly stabilized, and their previously listless spirits were awakened as if by a spring breeze, regaining their vitality. The three flowers on the top of their heads reappeared.

Lingya Xian and the others felt the wondrous changes in their bodies, and a feeling of boundless awe and gratitude towards Tongtian welled up in their hearts. They endured their weakness, struggled to their feet, and then knelt down in unison.

"Thank you, Master, for giving us a second chance!" Their voices were filled with sincerity and respect, and their burning eyes revealed their absolute loyalty to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stared at them with a stern expression and piercing gaze. "Remember what happened today. If you kill innocent people again, don't blame me for not showing any mercy to my master and disciples."

As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed a dignified and warning light, as if he could see through the hearts of every disciple.

His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated in the hearts of his disciples like a grand bell, each word carrying immense weight, striking their souls with tremendous force.

At this moment, Lingya Xian and the others felt as if a storm was raging in their hearts, and a sense of lingering fear surged into their minds like a tidal wave.

Among the disciples, Chang Er Ding Guangxian stood alone, looking completely bewildered.

"Why didn't Tongtian punish me? Could it be that he intends to give me an important position? Hahaha, in that case, I'll obtain more and more information. After providing it all to the two sages, I'll be second only to the leader of the Western Sect!"

With his keen divine sense, Tongtian could see through everything and instantly noticed the strangeness of Chang'er Dingguang Xian.

He turned his head slightly, his gaze softening a bit, and looked at Chang Er Ding Guang Xian. "Chang Er Ding Guang Xian doesn't need to abolish his cultivation. I have my own arrangements. You don't need to compare yourselves to him."

Tongtian's actions were merely to appease Chang'er Dingguangxian.

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Chang'er Dingguangxian felt a surge of pride. He lowered his head and softly replied, "Yes, teacher."

Then, Tongtian waved his hand and took out a number of incomparably precious spiritual treasures and fruits, including the Star Banner, the Multi-Treasure Pagoda, the Blood Transformation Treasure Blade, the Limitless Umbrella, the Soul-Slaying Blade, the Xuanhuang Pearl, the Hunyuan Pagoda, the Myriad Manifestations Pagoda, and the Yellow Plum.

Upon seeing these treasures, the disciples' eyes widened instantly, their hearts filled with shock and an overwhelming joy.

Their eyes gleamed with excitement and greed, yet they dared not show it too openly, suppressing their inner turmoil. Some disciples even couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

Tongtian then distributed these spiritual treasures and fruits to his disciples one by one. Each disciple who received a treasure was so excited that his hands trembled as he carefully accepted the treasure, his eyes shining with excitement and gratitude.

"You must make good use of this opportunity and send many disciples of the Western Sect and the Chan Sect to the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Thank you so much for your kindness, teacher! We will certainly live up to your expectations!" Their voices were filled with gratitude and excitement.

However, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian alone did not receive any treasures. He watched helplessly as the other disciples held their spiritual treasures and fruits, his heart filled with disappointment and envy.

A fleeting, barely perceptible resentment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. The pain in his heart grew stronger, and his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain.

"From now on, I will go into seclusion to break through my current level, and all matters within the sect will be managed by Yunxiao. This is the Qingping Sword; seeing the Qingping Sword is as if I, the sect leader, am here in person."

The crowd was shocked again upon seeing the Qingping Sword. They knew that the Qingping Sword was a supreme magical artifact for proving one's Dao, symbolizing the authority and power of the sect leader.

Entrusting the Qingping Sword to Yunxiao to manage the affairs of the sect is enough to show the high level of trust and importance that the Tongtian Sect Leader placed in Yunxiao.

"Teacher, Senior Brother Duobao is the eldest senior brother of our Jie Sect. This matter should be entrusted to Senior Brother Duobao. I'm afraid Yunxiao is not up to the task."

"Duobao has more important matters to attend to, so the affairs of the Jie Sect are entrusted to you. You are a man of principle; do not bend the law for personal gain!"

"Yes, teacher, I will certainly uphold justice!"

Then, Tongtian looked at Wuyunxian and Jinguangxian, "Wuyunxian, Jinguangxian, you two go to Meishan and ask Yuan Hong if he is willing to become a disciple of my Jie Sect. If he is, then call him over."

"Rest assured, teacher, we will certainly live up to our mission and bring Yuan Hong back as soon as possible."

"Remember, finish these tasks as soon as possible, and expel all those disciples who commit atrocities from the Jie Sect! Don't hold back!"

Tongtian's tone became stern, his gaze sweeping over each disciple, as if trying to imprint his words deeply into their hearts.

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, the disciples felt a chill run down their spines, as if struck by lightning.

"I will heed your teachings and strictly discipline myself and my fellow disciples to ensure that such a thing never happens again."

Tongtian nodded, then immediately disappeared from everyone's sight with Duobao, going into seclusion to seek a greater breakthrough.

"Teacher, where are we going? What can we do for you?"

"Alright, don't worry. I'm about to give you a great opportunity, and it's not your fault that you didn't bring back Jiang Ziya."

When Duobao heard that Tongtian would not only not punish him, but would instead give him a great opportunity, his heart was instantly filled with turmoil.

"Teacher, are you telling the truth? But I clearly haven't completed the task you assigned me! I am ashamed and unworthy of your praise!"

"You are incredibly talented and exceptionally intelligent. Have you ever considered leaving the Jie Sect and establishing a completely new sect?"

Duobao immediately stopped and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly. "Please punish me, Master. Please don't expel me from the sect. I have ruined my cultivation for my own reasons. Please have mercy on me, Master."

Duobao turned to look at Duobao and sighed, "Duobao, I want you to establish a new sect, which can also promote the teachings of my Jie Sect. You and I will still be master and disciple, and I am not expelling you from the sect. You will still be my senior brother of the Jie Sect, forever!"

Duobao burst into tears and continued to kowtow and express his gratitude. After all, Duobao had followed Tongtian for a long time, and he remembered all the kindness Tongtian had shown him. Moreover, without Tongtian, he would never have been able to become a disciple of the Sage.

"Thank you, Master. I am willing to go through fire and water for the sake of the Jie Sect!"
