Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Xuandu withdrew his gaze and said:

"Don't worry, senior."

"He's just a cowardly fellow who wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of his seniors."

The Black Tortoise of the North Sea stirred its divine senses slightly, carrying a hint of doubt:

"Aren't you... afraid?"

It sensed that Xuan Du's aura was only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, a far cry from the peak Quasi-Saint realm hidden in the shadows.

Yet Xuan Du showed absolutely no fear.

Xuan Du smiled slightly, but instead of answering directly, he changed the subject:

"What you were just concerned about, senior, was nothing more than destiny and cause and effect."

"May I ask another question...?"

His gaze was intense, fixed directly on the black tortoise:

"If you join the Jie Sect, you will receive the protection of a sage and enjoy unparalleled fortune..."

"At that time, even if we face calamity, will we have more confidence to... contend with the Heavenly Dao?"

The divine sense of the North Sea Black Tortoise became somewhat hoarse, carrying an indescribable complexity:

"The Sage of Heaven...is he truly willing to accept me?"

It still has concerns.

His own body was enormous, making it impossible for him to take human form, and he was also burdened with karma.

It would be a huge burden for any religious sect.

Xuan Du, with a solemn expression, cupped his hands and said:

"Since I am a disciple personally taught by my master, I dare to make this promise on his behalf."

"Our Jie Sect teaches without discrimination, seizing every opportunity for life. Our predecessors have ancient roots and great merits; they are exactly the talents our sect needs."

"If Master knew your intentions, he would gladly accept them."

He paused, his tone becoming even more sincere:

"Moreover, your joining our sect is a great fortune for our Jie Sect!"

"Master would be more than willing to accept this; how could he possibly turn him away?"

After he finished speaking, the Black Tortoise of the North Sea fell silent.

Xuan Du did not urge him, but waited quietly.

The lamp above is waiting, waiting for Xuandu to leave the side of the North Sea Black Tortoise, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Buzz..."

The massive body of the North Sea Black Tortoise finally moved again.

Its head slowly rose, its chaotic eyes gazing at Xuan Du, and it said:

"I... am willing to join the Jie Sect."

Upon hearing that the Black Tortoise of the North Sea was willing to join the Jie Sect, Xuandu was overjoyed!

Become!

However, it still needs Tongtian's approval.

After all, he was only a direct disciple, and apart from accepting disciples himself, he had no way to make decisions for his master.

Xuandu no longer hesitated and immediately took out the Intercepting Sect's personal inheritance token from his bosom.

This token not only represents identity, but can also transmit voice messages.

He then respectfully transmitted his thoughts to the token using divine power:

"Disciple Xuandu greets Master."

"At the bottom of the North Sea, I encountered an ancient creature, the North Sea Black Tortoise, born at the beginning of creation. It possesses immeasurable merit and has a profound lineage."

"I dare to extend this invitation on behalf of my master: Senior Xuan Gui also intends to join our Jie Sect, seeking the protection of the Sage and a chance to transcend."

"This matter is of great importance, and I dare not make a decision. I hereby report to my Master and earnestly request your decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, the token's clear light faded, returning to its ancient appearance.

The message has been sent.

Next, all we need to do is wait for Master's response.

......

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sat upright on his cloud bed, his eyes slightly closed, the Qingping Sword hanging behind him, and the Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram appearing and disappearing in the void.

He was lost in thought, comprehending the ultimate essence of swordsmanship, when suddenly he felt something.

"Um?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his eyes.

"North Sea Black Turtle?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader, which then turned into realization.

"I see......"

A meaningful smile slowly curved the corners of his lips.

He naturally knew about the Black Tortoise of the North Sea.

These ancient beings, existing since the beginning of time, possessed enormous bodies, with shells capable of supporting the four cardinal directions and limbs capable of supporting the heavens and the earth.

Its profound origins and immeasurable merits are rarely seen in the primordial world.

But precisely because of this, he bears immense karma and is destined to face a great calamity in the future, supporting the sky with his four limbs, dying and disappearing.

This is the predetermined course of Heaven, which even a sage cannot easily change.

This is why, despite knowing the immense potential of the North Sea Black Tortoise, none of the various forces in the prehistoric world dared to truly recruit it.

Accepting it is tantamount to accepting that immense karmic debt.

This cause and effect is too great, too heavy.

Even the teachings of sages should be considered carefully.

Who is the Tongtian Sect Leader?

The leader of the Jie Sect, a true descendant of Pangu, wields the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which cannot be broken by any of the Four Sages!

The doctrine of the Jie Sect is to seize the last glimmer of hope!

Strive to cross the river in desperate situations, and break through the deadlock in seemingly hopeless situations!

Fixed number?

He was all-powerful, and the thing he believed in least was destiny!

"Good lad..."

The Master of Heaven clapped his hands and laughed, his eyes full of admiration.

"As expected of my personal disciple!"

"You dare to take on the consequences that others fear like a tiger, and even want to bring them into my sect..."

"This courage, this vision—it truly bears some resemblance to my own style back in the day!"

He stood up, his green robes fluttering, and a faint sword aura emanated from his body.

"North Sea Black Turtle..."

"Born to support the heavens, possessing immeasurable merit, and with an ancient lineage."

"If you can join my Jie Sect and receive my guidance, you may be able to break free from your predetermined fate and seize that sliver of opportunity for transcendence."

Even if we still have to face the calamity in the end...

The Master of the Heavens' eyes flashed coldly, and his sword energy soared into the sky!

"The merit of supporting the heavens should also be claimed by my Jie Sect!"

This deal looks like a great deal no matter how you look at it!

As for that cause and effect...

The Master of Heaven snorted coldly.

With the arrival of ten thousand immortals from the Jie Sect, their fortune was at its peak, and they could still bear the weight of a karmic burden that supported the heavens!

not to mention......

If we can seize this opportunity to truly secure a glimmer of hope for the Black Tortoise and help it break free from its predetermined fate...

That would truly be reversing the laws of Heaven and putting into practice the supreme doctrines of the Jie Sect!

Such a feat, who in the primordial world could match it?

"good!"

Without further hesitation, the Tongtian Sect Leader slowly uttered a single word.

The sound was not loud, but it contained the supreme power of a sage, piercing through the endless void and resounding clearly in the depths of Xuandu's mind!

"From this day forward, the Black Tortoise of the North Sea will be a protector of my Jie Sect, holding a position equal to that of a direct disciple, enjoying the blessings of the Jie Sect's fortune, and receiving my protection."

"If any fool dares to lay a finger on the Xuan Turtle..."

The Tongtian Cult Leader's voice suddenly turned cold:

"That would mean being my enemy, and the entire Jie Sect!"

"My sword will surely carve a path to survival for him!"

The words fell.

"boom!!!"

A vast and incomparable sage's will erupted from Biyou Palace and soared into the sky!

The sky above Jin'ao Island is ablaze with countless rays of light and auspicious colors!

The River of Fortune of the Intercepting Sect suddenly manifested, surging and roaring, even more magnificent and solid than before!

Just as Tongtian finished speaking.

Above the River of Fortune, a dark golden phantom, as thick as a mountain, slowly condensed and merged into the river!

That was the manifestation of the fortune of the Black Tortoise of the North Sea!

The moment the phantom merges in.

"Buzz!"

The entire river of destiny trembled violently, radiating brilliant light!

The already top-tier fortune of the Jie Sect in the primordial world has surged once again!

Although not as terrifying as when Xuandu absorbed hundreds of millions of humans, it still increased by nearly 10%!

One-tenth!

It may not seem like much, but it represents the very fortune of the Jie Sect!

It is the immense fortune accumulated over countless years by the presence of a sage who has reached the heavens, with all the immortals coming to pay homage!

Even if an ordinary great religion works hard for ten thousand years, it may not be able to increase by one percent.

Now, just because Xuan Gui joined, it has surged by 10%!

"This is......"

On Jin'ao Island, all the immortals looked up, their hearts and minds trembling!

Daoist Duobao stood before the cave, his eyes gleaming with a dazzling light, his face filled with disbelief:

"Their fortunes have surged once again... Has another powerful figure joined their sect?"

"Who is it that could cause such a phenomenon?"

The Golden Spirit Mother was surrounded by starlight, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on her usually serene face:

"This aura... as heavy as the earth, as ancient as chaos... could it be...?"

The Holy Mother of Wudang frowned slightly:

"Towards the North Sea..."

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"Good! Good! Junior Brother Xuandu must have stirred up some big trouble again!"

Bixiao was overjoyed:

"Junior Brother Xuandu has only been out of seclusion for a short time, yet he's already pulled off such a spectacle! Amazing!"

Kong Xuan stood before the Five Elements Cave, his five-colored eyes gleaming as he gazed towards the North Sea, his expression solemn.

"This aura... could it be...?"
