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

Tongtian sat quietly on the futon in Biyou Palace, restoring his own power of law. The surroundings were so quiet that only his long and deep breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence outside the palace gates.

Wu Yunxian and Jin Guangxian appeared at the palace gate, their eyes still shining.

"Junior Brothers Shui and Huo, quickly go and tell our teacher we're back!"

"Please wait a moment, senior brothers."

The Water and Fire Boy hurriedly entered Biyou Palace, "Master, Senior Brother Wuyun Xian and Senior Brother Jinguang Xian have returned."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Tongtian instantly summoned Wuyun Xian, Jinguang Xian, and Yuan Hong, who was standing to the side watching curiously, to his presence.

When Yuan Hong first entered Biyou Palace, it was like an ignorant child stumbling into a fairyland.

His eyes widened, his face filled with amazement, his gaze wandering across the magnificent palace, where every carved beam and painted rafter, every rare treasure, filled him with wonder.

It wasn't until Wu Yunxian gently nudged him that he snapped out of his daze and hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"Greetings...Greetings to the Sage of Heaven."

Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Yuan Hong. Yuan Hong felt that gaze was piercing, as if it could see through his soul, and he felt both nervous and expectant.

"You are destined to join my Jie Sect. Would you be willing to become my direct disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong was overjoyed, his voice trembling with excitement, "This disciple is willing. Master, please accept this disciple's bow."

After saying this, he respectfully kowtowed three times, the thuds of his forehead hitting the ground echoing in the palace, each kowtow filled with his desire and reverence to become a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Upon seeing this, Tongtian nodded slightly and waved his hand, and two treasures appeared in front of Yuan Hong.

"This is the Zijin Beam that spans the sea, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. I'm also giving it to you along with this Huangzhong Plum. Once your cultivation breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, go to Chaoge to help your Senior Sister Wudang."

Yuan Hong accepted it with great joy and quickly bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

However, Yuan Hong did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment and bowed again.

"Master, I have six younger brothers from Meishan. I wonder if you would allow them to join my Jie Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's expression darkened slightly, and an invisible aura emanated from him, sweeping across the entire Biyou Palace like a whirlwind.

He seemed somewhat displeased. "Of the Seven Monsters of Meishan, only you have no blood on your hands and a good foundation, which is why I wish to take you as my disciple. If the other six want to join my Jie Sect, they should first enter the cycle of reincarnation to cleanse their sins."

Yuan Hong felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but he understood Tongtian's meaning. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. This disciple will now go and cultivate."

"Go."

Just then, a series of enormous golden lights suddenly burst forth from the entire Biyou Palace. The light was like a golden sun rising in the palace, dazzling and extremely bright.

Wherever the light touched, it bathed everything in Biyou Palace in a sacred glow.

The disciples of the Jie Sect, who were originally engaged in their own cultivation or busy work, were attracted by the sudden golden light and all turned their attention to Biyou Palace.

Their faces lit up with surprise, all believing that their teacher had achieved another breakthrough. Soon, the group ran towards Biyou Palace, their footsteps echoing like thunder throughout the palace.

Upon seeing the golden light, Tongtian's previously dignified face broke into a relieved smile.

Wu Yunxian looked at Tongtiandao with a puzzled expression, "Teacher, what... what's going on? Why is this golden light suddenly emanating?"

Tongtian did not reply; his gaze passed over the crowd and looked into the depths of Biyou Palace.

At the brightest point of light, Duobao, his body radiant with golden light, walked out slowly with his hands clasped together.

With each step he took, it seemed as if golden lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, and the Buddha's light around him rippled out like waves, sacred and solemn.

Duobao came before Tongtian and respectfully bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master. I have not failed Master's expectations; disciple has succeeded."

Tongtian looked at Duobao with satisfaction in his eyes and was secretly amazed.

"I never expected Duobao to have such high comprehension. He was able to fully comprehend Buddhism in such a short time. This child will surely become a great man in the future."

Duobao looked up at Tongtian and asked, "Master, shall I establish Buddhism now?"

Tongtian shook his head slightly, "No rush, no rush. Since we want to suppress the Western Religion, let's just make sure they can never flourish again."

Duobao clasped his hands together, looking at Tongtian with admiration, "I will obey my teacher's command!"

At this moment, all the disciples of the Jie Sect arrived. They looked at Duobao, who was covered in Buddhist light, with amazement and envy in their eyes.

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Senior Brother Duobao, have you become a saint?"

Duobao was about to answer with a smile when suddenly, a figure in the crowd caught Tongtian's attention.

The long-eared Dingguang Immortal looked somewhat flustered as he tiptoed towards the outside of Biyou Palace, his eyes darting around as if he were hiding from something.

A cold glint flashed in Tongtian's eyes, and a sharp look locked onto Chang'er Dingguangxian like an arrow.

In an instant, a powerful force crashed down, and Chang Er Ding Guangxian felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. He was instantly pinned to the ground and unable to move.

The disciples were stunned and bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

Chang Er Ding Guangxian was pressed to the ground, and he was shocked. He never expected that even though he had used the technique taught by Zhunti to conceal his form, he would still be discovered by Tongtian.

His face was filled with terror, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Teacher, spare me! I just wanted to go out for some fresh air. I really don't know what I did wrong. Please, teacher, investigate!"

Tongtian snorted coldly and waved his hand. Chang'er Dingguangxian was lifted off the ground by a force and then came to Tongtian.

Tongtian stared at him angrily, his eyes looking as if he wanted to tear Chang'er Dingguang Xian to pieces.

"Long-eared! You are one of the Seven Immortal Attendants. I believe I have treated you well. Tell me, why have you betrayed me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's jaws nearly dropped in astonishment; they simply couldn't believe that Chang'er Dingguangxian would betray the Jie Sect.

After all, he was one of the Seven Immortals who served the Tongtian Sect Leader and had always enjoyed his trust. Moreover, the Tongtian Sect Leader had even bestowed upon him the Six Soul Banner, a rare treasure of the Heavenly Dao, which was simply unbelievable.

Chang Er Ding Guangxian's face instantly turned ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He was in a state of extreme panic, desperately trying to come up with an excuse, and continued to beg for mercy with a sob in his voice.

"Master, spare my life! I would never dare to betray you, nor would I dare to betray the Jie Sect! I have done my duty, even if I have no merit. Please, Master, see the truth and do not listen to the slanderous words of villains!"

Upon hearing his words, Tongtian's anger intensified. His holy aura emanated from him, causing the surrounding disciples to tremble involuntarily, filled with fear.

No one had ever seen the Tongtian Sect Leader so furious, and they were all too frightened to utter a sound.

Tongtian didn't say much, and directly reached into Chang'er Dingguang Xian's arms and took out a Bodhi seed.

Tongtian held the Bodhi seed up to Chang'er Dingguang Xian's eyes and roared, "What explanation do you have for this?"

Upon seeing the Bodhi seed, the last glimmer of hope in Chang'er Dingguang Xian's heart vanished. His face turned ashen, knowing he could no longer hide it, and he murmured, "How did you know?"

The surrounding disciples, witnessing this, immediately understood. Filled with righteous indignation, they roared, "Traitor! To betray the Jie Sect is unforgivable!"

Everyone immediately requested that Chang Er Ding Guang Xian be killed. Duo Bao's face was also full of ruthlessness, completely different from his previous compassionate and peaceful demeanor.

The disciples of the Jie Sect pressed closer and closer to Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, their eyes filled with murderous intent, wishing they could kill him immediately.

"Enough! Get out of the way, I'll handle this myself!"

Upon seeing this, Tongtian waved his hand, and the members of the Jie Sect withdrew.

"I warned you long ago, but I never expected you to dare to pass messages to the Western Sect. You have greatly disappointed me!"

Tongtian sighed and said, "Fine, we still have a master-disciple bond. Do you want to live?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Er Dingguang Xian felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead slamming against the ground until blood streamed down his face. "Please, Master, spare my life! This disciple is willing to do anything!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Chang Er Dingguang Xian with a sinister smile. His smile was devoid of warmth and full of calculation, making Chang Er Dingguang Xian feel a chill run down his spine.

"I need your help to make Duobao a saint!"
