Primordial Era: Humanity's Supreme Ruler, Abolishes Nuwa's Position as Holy Mother

Chapter 187 Tongtian Meets Laozi and Yuanshi, Yuanshi Informs Him

After Tongtian left, Suirenshi returned.

Chu Feng tidied up the tea table and prepared teacups for Suirenshi as well.

Looking towards Jin'ao Island, Suiren first greeted Chu Feng before asking, "Does Your Majesty truly believe that the Tongtian Sect Leader will leave?"

Since Chu Feng had already shielded this place, he naturally wasn't worried about Hongjun Ancestor or the Heavenly Dao spying on him, and Suirenshi became bolder in his speech.

"It's hard for anyone to accept something like this so suddenly in a short time," Chu Feng said, handing over a teacup with a smile. "It's like telling you one day that I'm actually from another world—it's something like that."

Suirenshi was taken aback upon hearing this, but seeing Chu Feng's amused smile, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Supreme One is joking again."

Seeing the relieved expression on Suirenshi's face, Chu Feng smiled without saying a word.

"Speaking of which, you've already become a saint. It would be a pity to go into seclusion and cultivate. Why not spread the teachings? As the first saint of humanity, you should help everyone." Chu Feng picked up all the chess pieces from the chessboard.

"What Your Majesty says is exactly what I was thinking. I originally intended to go into seclusion to cultivate, but after thinking about it, perhaps there is another path, like the Grand Tutor did back then, to prove himself by spreading the Dao," Suirenshi said frankly.

Chu Feng nodded, saying that this was a good method. Sometimes, when you want to know your own shortcomings, passing on knowledge and taking on disciples is faster than figuring it out yourself.

After that day, countless pilgrims flocked to Mount Kongtong, and Suirenshi began to expound the Dao to his ancestors, helping them to understand themselves.

After all, even saints are not the ultimate limit.

At the same time, Jin'ao Island was suddenly placed under complete lockdown, and most of the disciples who were away returned immediately upon learning of this.

They didn't know what had happened to Tongtian, but his sudden seclusion must mean something serious had occurred.

A century passes in the blink of an eye.

Tongtian emerged from seclusion a hundred years later.

When he emerged from seclusion, the power that had sealed Jin'ao Island vanished instantly, and all the disciples rose to pay their respects to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

They did not linger, but departed again to undergo trials in the primordial wilderness.

After Tongtian left the pass, he immediately went to the Thirty-Three Heavens to meet Laozi and Yuanshi.

When Yuanshi Tianzun learned that Tongtian had taken the initiative to visit him, he was somewhat surprised. He initially wanted to refuse the visit, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

Upon receiving the news, Lao Tzu immediately broke out of his seclusion and rushed over from the Bajing Palace.

Although they all had some grudges with Tongtian Jiaozhu, the Three Pure Ones were ultimately one entity, and the past favors and obligations still existed.

Moreover, Tongtian Jiaozhu was the youngest, and in their eyes he was still a younger brother who needed to be taken care of. They thought to themselves, perhaps Tongtian had come to apologize.

However, Tongtian did not think so. Although they had separated and even faced each other in life and death during the Investiture of the Gods, he still wanted to tell the two the truth out of brotherhood.

In addition, he didn't want Yuanshi and Laozi to remain deceived, even though it was indeed hard to accept.

Over the past century, Tongtian has made tens of thousands of deductions and endless contemplations, finding clues and unraveling the complexities from numerous events.

As Chu Feng had predicted, after the final verification, Tongtian truly and completely overturned his previous understanding.

After obtaining conclusive evidence, Tongtian immediately left the seclusion and rushed to meet with the two.

Upon arriving at Jade Void Palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader was about to step through the gate when, in the next second, a magic array burst forth from the gate, blocking his way. He tried to disperse it by flicking his sleeve, but found that the magic array remained unmoved.

Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader gritted his teeth and said, "Yuanshi, when did you change the magic array as well?"

"What business is it of yours?" Yuanshi Tianzun descended from the heavens, glanced at Tongtian, and said, "After a hundred years of seclusion, you finally realize where you went wrong?"

"I was wrong about you," Tongtian bared his teeth.

In the distance, a beam of light pierced through the air, and Laozi's imposing aura swept over, stopping the two from exchanging insults.

He sat atop the green ox, gazing at Tongtian and Yuanshi, and pondered, "How many years has it been? And you're still arguing endlessly? If I knew what was happening today, I would think you two were just children, how laughable!"

Yuanshi, with his sleeves rolled up and hands behind his back, stood and coldly snorted, "If Tongtian hadn't done those foolish things, why would we be in this situation?"

Tongtian stared at Yuanshi, grinding his teeth. He really wanted to slap him, but after thinking about the purpose of his trip, he suppressed his anger.

Tongtian took a deep breath, turned his body to the side, clasped his hands in greeting to Laozi, and said, "Elder brother."

"Greetings, Elder Brother." Yuanshi Tianzun glanced coldly at Tongtian, and though he was impatient, he still greeted him.

Laozi smiled faintly and said, "Yuanshi, quickly dispel the formation. Since Tongtian summoned the two of us here, he must have something to discuss. Why are you acting like a child?"

"Yes, elder brother." Yuanshi Tianzun cast a spell with his sword finger, and the array that isolated the gate immediately dissipated.

Looking up, Tongtian chuckled, "You still dare to be arrogant in front of your elder brother?"

The three entered the Zixiao Palace, but along the way, Tongtian and Yuanshi kept baring their teeth at each other, and the disciples they encountered all looked at each other in bewilderment.

They naturally had to pay their respects to Tongtian and Laozi, but after doing so, they dared not linger and fled immediately.

They were worried that if the three of them started fighting, it would affect them as well.

They found a teahouse, and the Tongtian Sect Leader used his powers to shield himself from heavenly secrets and his aura, isolating himself completely inside and out.

Laozi, already puzzled, became even more astonished, while Yuanshi's anger subsided somewhat, his brows furrowing slightly as he thought, "Could this guy really be asking for our help? But nothing major is about to happen in the prehistoric world lately?"

After doing all this, the Tongtian Sect Leader had a serious expression on his face.

"What exactly happened?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked patiently, his arms crossed.

Laozi pondered for a moment and said, "Third brother, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."

Tongtian immediately relayed everything Chu Feng had said, without mentioning that it was Chu Feng who had said it, indicating that he had made the discovery unintentionally.

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi and Laozi were shocked, just as they had been when Tongtian first learned of this matter, and fell into silence.

The Tongtian Sect Leader also said that it was because he discovered clues that he chose to cooperate with the human race's supreme ruler during the Investiture of the Gods. His purpose was to test the waters, but more importantly, to verify his own ideas.

To convince the two, Tongtian revealed all the verifications from the century-long deduction.

Laozi's gaze was solemn as he looked at Tongtian, lost in a deep contemplation unlike that of Yuanshi.

He had long suspected what Tongtian had said, but he had never been able to confirm it, or rather, he dared not to confirm it.

When Tongtian mentioned this matter and personally spoke to the two of them, Laozi understood Tongtian's intentions. Otherwise, Tongtian could have simply stood by and let the two of them get caught up in it.

Tongtian's actions dispelled any lingering resentment Laozi might have harbored towards him.

Laozi immediately spoke up, taking the initiative to discuss how to handle the matter and how to break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao, sincerely believing in what Tongtian had said.

When Tongtian saw Laozi do this, the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted. Before coming, he had been worried that the two of them wouldn't believe it.

The three sages then began to discuss the matter, and Yuanshi believed that this was a matter of great importance and that the three sages needed to work together to shield the Heavenly Dao and their teacher from detection.

Tongtian and Laozi found the words to be reasonable, and immediately used them again.

Only after the three sages joined forces to shield themselves from the heavenly secrets did they begin to discuss how to break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao.

However, in secret, Yuanshi secretly sent his evil corpse to Zixiao Palace to inform Hongjun, who was in seclusion in the Chaos.

When Hongjun learned of this, he was furious and immediately descended to the Thirty-Three Heavens in his true form!
