Guarding the ancient human race for a thousand years, yet ridiculed by the world.

Chapter 71 Tongtian Abolishes His Saintly Position

"That's... the Tongtian Cult Master!!!"

I don't know who shouted.

Everyone looked up.

Then they saw a figure with a human head tied to the Daoist priest, wearing a robe with eight trigrams, golden light shining in five colors above his head, red lotuses running beneath his feet, riding a Kui ox, holding a precious sword, and coming on auspicious clouds.

He was none other than the leader of the Jie Sect, the Tongtian Sect Master.

Tongtian entered, shocking the primordial world.

"The Tongtian Sect Leader has been in seclusion for a long time; I didn't expect him to emerge today..."

"What's he doing here?"

"Is there even a question? It's because of the Three Immortals!"

The powerful beings of the primordial world were discussing it animatedly.

When Hongjun and the other sages saw Tongtian arrive, their brows furrowed.

Judging from Tongtian's posture, it seems he's here to help the Wu Clan?

"Tongtian, what are you doing here?!"

Yuanshi was the first to speak, questioning the matter.

Taiqing, Nuwa, Zhunti, Jieyin, and others also looked at Tongtian with unfriendly eyes.

Tongtian has always been unconventional and doesn't associate with them, which has long displeased the Five Sages.

"none of your business?!"

Tongtian didn't even glance at Yuanshi, and snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's noodles turned red.

"you……"

Taiqing then shouted, "Tongtian, kneel down before your teacher!"

"Exactly! You see a teacher and you don't even kneel down? You're showing no respect for your teacher!"

Nuwa and other saints all rebuked them.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian gave Hongjun a slight bow.

"Tongtian greets his teacher."

However, Tongtian's posture appeared extremely perfunctory.

This angered Hongjun.

Tongtian is so disrespectful to his elders!

"Tongtian, step back."

Hongjun said expressionlessly.

Tongtian did not step down, but instead said:

"Master, your disciple has come today to take away the Holy King of the Human Race. Your disciple cannot retreat."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's expression changed.

Taiqing, Yuanshi, and others were furious.

"Tongtian! What do you mean?"

"Are you still your teacher's disciple?"

"Outrageous!!!"

The saints all condemned Tongtian with words and writings.

"Tongtian! How dare you disobey my decree?"

Hongjun was also enraged.

This scene astonished all living beings in the primordial world.

I don't understand why Tongtian would stand against the Dao Ancestor and all the saints!

Tongtian was personally taught by Hongjun and is a sage of the Heavenly Dao. Shouldn't he stand with Hongjun and all the sages at this time?

"Master!"

"..."

At this moment, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao ran over and bowed to Tongtian.

Tongtian nodded slightly and said, "Sanxiao, you may all step back."

Upon hearing this, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao obediently retreated behind Tongtian.

Tongtian then looked at Hongjun and said calmly:

"Teacher, it's not that Tongtian wants to disobey your decree. Rather, Tongtian feels that your actions this time are truly incomprehensible to him."

"The Holy King of Humanity has protected humanity for a thousand years, which is something he should do as a human. However, my elder brother has interfered and plotted to seize the destiny of humanity."

"Afterwards, he even schemed against his junior sister Nuwa. Now that the Human Race's Holy Lord has returned for revenge, shouldn't he?"

"We cultivators believe in cause and effect. Isn't the human race's sage ruler's action also in accordance with the will of Heaven?"

Although Tongtian had been in seclusion, he was actually paying close attention to matters concerning the prehistoric world.

Over the centuries, Tongtian gained a revolutionary understanding of the true meaning of cultivation through his comprehension of "ancestral Qi".

Tongtian once believed that the Dao Ancestor and the Primordial Heavenly Dao were the ultimate in cultivation.

However, after comprehending the "ancestral Qi", Tongtian was shocked to discover that it was not so!

Even the Great Dao itself might not be the ultimate goal of cultivation.

However, although Tongtian recognized this, he did not know how to break through it.

Therefore, his original intention upon leaving seclusion was to pay another visit to the Holy King of the Human Race.

But unexpectedly, they witnessed this scene unfolding in the primordial world.

This infuriated Tongtian.

In any case, the Human Saint King can be considered to have shown kindness and guidance to my cultivation.

Therefore, Tongtian appeared out of nowhere to stop Donghuang Taiyi from attacking the Ancestral Witches.

"You bastard!!!"

"Nonsense!"

"Tongtian! What are you trying to do, betraying your own people like this?!"

The five sages of the heavens all angrily rebuked them.

Tongtian is far too arrogant!

At this moment, Hongjun's heart was filled with boundless rage.

He didn't know why Tongtian had become like this.

However, in general, Tongtian's changes are not conducive to his control over the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

"Tongtian, you've gone mad!"

Hongjun finally spoke: "Disobey me, and I will suppress you for ten thousand years!"

boom.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure from the Heavenly Dao erupted.

The primordial beings trembled incessantly.

However, Tongtian's eyes remained clear as he looked at Hongjun:

"Since the teacher is being unfair, then this disciple has no choice but to disobey the teacher today and save the Holy King of the Human Race."

The bitter path to heaven.

"You bastard! Tongtian, you traitorous scoundrel, have you forgotten your teacher's kindness?"

Yuanshi cursed loudly.

Nuwa and the others angrily retorted, "That's right! Are you still a Heavenly Saint?!"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian sighed deeply, a mocking expression on his face, and said, "A Heavenly Dao Saint? It's better not to be a Heavenly Dao Saint."

"With a teacher like this, unable to distinguish right from wrong; with an elder brother like this, despicable and shameless—if I, with my connections to the heavens, were to not become a saint of the heavenly way, what harm would it do?"

Upon hearing this, Taiqing's forehead veins bulged, and he angrily said:

"Tongtian! Since you don't want to be a Heavenly Saint, then hand over the Primordial Purple Qi!"

Yuanshi chimed in sarcastically, "Exactly! What's the use of just talking without doing anything? Is it just trying to please the crowd?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian suddenly laughed.

He laughed maniacally.

"Tongtian, what are you laughing at!"

Taiqing rebuked him.

Tongtian looked at Taiqing with disdain:

"Taiqing, your actions are disgusting, do you know that?"

"I swear by Heaven that this is the last time I will call you 'elder brother' today!"

Upon hearing this, Taiqing was so angry that his face turned purple and his holy body trembled.

As he spoke, Tongtian roared to the sky, shaking the entire prehistoric world and making the void seem to collapse.

Tongtian declared sternly, "Today, I, Tongtian, will relinquish my saintly position. What harm is there in not being this worthless Heavenly Saint?"

As soon as he finished speaking, to everyone's astonishment, Tongtian reached out and suddenly grabbed at his own brow.

The next moment, a purple-glowing treasure aura was torn from Tongtian's primordial spirit, shimmering and illuminating the entire prehistoric world in his palm.

"Primordial Purple Qi!"

"Hiss, Tongtian is really going to relinquish his sainthood?!"

At this moment, all living beings in the primordial world were shaken!

Hongjun, Taiqing, and other saints were also greatly alarmed.

Tongtian, has he really given up being a Heavenly Saint?

To attain sainthood and achieve enlightenment—this is the dream of countless cultivators throughout the primordial era!

He just says he's not going to do it anymore?!

At this moment, no one noticed that Hongjun's body was trembling violently!

What's going on?

Tongtian has actually broken free from the control of the Heavenly Dao?

Hongjun's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy!

It looks like it's about to drip water!
