Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

An eerily quiet atmosphere descended upon Longde Palace.

Haotian Yaochi stared wide-eyed at Tongtian, while Laozi Yuanshi lowered his head with a forced smile, looking at Tongtian who was still clinging to their sleeves, and sneered, "Is that so?"

"How come I didn't know you were secretly cursing me in your heart!"

Tongtian's lamentation abruptly stopped as he quickly covered his mouth, moved by his elder brothers, and he had inadvertently blurted out his true feelings.

Seeing the two draw their dragon-shaped crutch and the three-treasure jade scepter, Tongtian trembled and looked at Haotian with pleading eyes: Junior brother, save me!

Haotian was speechless for a moment, then coughed lightly: "Senior brother, this is the Heavenly Court."

Lao Tzu, the Primordial Beginning, stopped what he was doing; he couldn't beat the child outside.

Tongtian cast a grateful glance his way, and Haotian laughed, "What I mean is, you are brothers after all, and it's not a good look for you to fight in my Heavenly Court. You can fight your younger brother when you go back!"

Yaochi pinched Haotian's hand to suppress her laughter, and Tongtian's face immediately fell.

Laozi Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian with a meaningful look, and then put away the Dao-proving treasure. It seems you have a lot of complaints about our usual teachings to you!

However, Junior Brother Haotian is right, we can go back and fight together.

"Three senior brothers, please put away the Golden Wheel of Merit." Haotian shook his head. "I only stated the price of the Innate Treasure to set a price. The Innate Treasure is not for sale!"

The eyes of the Three Pure Ones dimmed simultaneously. Renting and owning are not the same thing. Saints have endless lifespans, and the Jie Sect will continue to recruit disciples.

Haotian invited the three to sit down, then looked at Tongtian with a sincere expression: "Senior Brother, if you wish to preserve the Jie Sect indefinitely, I can tell you definitively, that is impossible!"

Tongtian's expression changed, and he closed his eyes, only able to let out a helpless sigh.

This is why his elder brothers brought him over without hesitation as soon as he mentioned wanting to rent a supreme innate treasure.

"Over the years, the Heavenly Court has punished many cultivators from the prehistoric world. Whether it was the human race relying on their magical power to act recklessly, or arbitrarily splitting mountains and cutting off rivers, damaging the world, they all violated the Heavenly Rules."

"Senior brother probably knew he was in the wrong, which is why he didn't come to argue with me. Of course, most of them were outer disciples of the Jie Sect, so senior brother didn't value them much."

Haotian sipped his tea. Most of the heavenly soldiers who had captured the disciples were below the level of Xuanxian, and most of the disciples of the Jie Sect were at this level.

Tongtian wanted to explain, but Haotian raised his hand to stop him from speaking: "Even if I sell the innate treasure to my senior brother, do you think he can suppress the Jie Sect's fortune forever?"

"As long as there are no major changes, we definitely can!" Tongtian said with absolute certainty.

"No, the Jie Sect is rotten from within!" Haotian sneered. "Senior Brother Tongtian thinks his disciples are all good, but since I established the Human-Immortal Contract a thousand years ago, most of those captured by the Heavenly Soldiers are Jie Sect disciples, followed by the scattered immortals of the Primordial World, and lastly, disciples of the Western Sect."

"Brother Tongtian enjoyed the fortune brought by the worship of ten thousand immortals and the prosperity of the Jie Sect, so he must also bear the consequences."

"What evil consequences? Explain yourself!" Tongtian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he demanded sharply.

Laozi Yuanshi glanced at him indifferently. It was nothing more than the decline of the Jie Sect. However, even so, his third brother would lose his luck and his cultivation would be hindered.

"Sages and great teachings complement each other. Sages use great teachings to recruit disciples and spread their ideas. Disciples are protected by the sages' great teachings. The prosperity of great teachings means that the sages' ideas are recognized by the world."

"The stronger the religion, the more fortune the sage enjoys. Eventually, the sage came to represent the religion. Is there any problem with what I'm saying?"

The three Pure Ones shook their heads simultaneously: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Haotian said quietly, "I only see that the fortunes of my three senior brothers are intertwined with the great sect, but Senior Brother Tongtian will suffer a backlash!"

"This is simply alarmist!" Tongtian's expression changed drastically, and he rebuked him sternly!

"Junior brother, what is the basis for your statement?" Yuanshi also looked displeased. To speak of his third brother like that in front of them, even the Heavenly Emperor should be careful with his words.

"Isn't it enough that I attained enlightenment through destiny?" Haotian rested his chin on his hand, smiling gently as he looked at Tongtian. "Why don't you summon the destiny of the Jie Sect for us to see, Senior Brother?"

Tongtian froze instantly. Laozi and Yuanshi looked over suspiciously, while Haotian chuckled.

"Summon me if you will, my Jie Sect will prosper." Tongtian snorted coldly, forcing himself to remain calm. He pointed his hand in the air, and in an instant, time and space shifted, and the East Sea appeared.

All living beings are illusory and uncertain. The dragon clan's fortune seemed to sense this, and after a dragon's roar, it sank into the sea, leaving only the fortune of the Jie Sect on the entire sea surface.

Vast clouds gathered above Jin'ao Island, their upper part resembling a blue lotus, as green as jade, while the lower part resembled a rainbow, shimmering with iridescent colors. Wisps of blue smoke continuously drifted from the sea of ​​clouds, connecting with tens of thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect.

"Look, this is the destiny of my Jie Sect! As long as we have a supreme innate treasure to suppress it, we will forever remain the number one sect in the primordial world!"

Tongtian composed himself and looked at Haotian with a smug expression. Laozi and Yuanshi remained silent. Indeed, it was more prosperous than the Human and Chan sects, not to mention the Western sect.

Haotian sneered, "Just a mirage!"

As he spoke, he was about to make a move.

"Stop!" Tongtian shouted as he stood up.

Laozi Yuanshi's expression became somewhat subtle, and he simultaneously stopped Tongtian: "Why are you so nervous? What have you been hiding from me and my elder brother, huh?"

Tongtian stammered, "No...no!"

"It's all just Junior Brother Haotian exaggerating."

Laozi Yuanshi gave him a cold look and said softly, "Junior brother, begin your spell!"

As Haotian moved, the Jie Sect's fortune was peeled away layer by layer. At the center of the fortune cloud sea, a black pool with a radius of ten miles had accumulated, emitting an unbearable aura that was truly ominous!

"Karma!" Laozi Yuanshi's expression changed drastically. He looked at Tongtian in shock, his divine sense carefully scanning over him to check whether his Dao foundation had been tainted.

"The ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect are protected by the sages with their fortune, and the disciples also repay their masters with their fortune. However, the fortune of the ten thousand immortals is mixed, and many of the disciples of the Jie Sect are also burdened with karma. All of these are gathered together in one place."

"Brother Tongtian, I gave you the position of the Five Emperors' Imperial Tutor to the Three Venerables of the Jie Sect. In less than ten thousand years, the Jie Sect's fortune has already shown signs of karmic obstacles. Even if you have a supreme innate treasure to suppress the fortune, it is only a temporary solution."

Tongtian's face was pale and bluish. Looking at the black mud, he took a deep breath and waved his hand to put away the illusory image of his fortune: "I am the leader of the Jie Sect. I cut off a glimmer of hope for all living beings. They are disciples of the Jie Sect, and I will protect them."

"Third brother!" Laozi and Yuanshi shouted angrily at the same time.

Tongtian's eyes reddened as he looked at the two men gratefully: "I know what my elder brothers are going to say. Junior Brother Haotian brought this up to save me."

"If I don't want those karmic obstacles to expand and taint my Dao foundation, I must expel them all from the Jie Sect. In this way, even if the Jie Sect is not the number one sect in the prehistoric world, it will still be a sect of saints, and at least stronger than the Western Sect."

"But since they call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and have joined my Jie Sect, I have an obligation to protect them!"

A resounding clang of swords echoed, like ten thousand blue lotuses falling. Tongtian's lips curled into a smile: "Behold, this is the destiny of the Jie Sect, this is my Dao!"

The group remained silent. Tongtian was so determined to follow his path. With his Dao heart breaking through, he only needed to transform his magical power to reach the sixth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, the same realm as Haotian.

Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, knowing that they could not persuade Tongtian today.

Haotian sighed. This is the Tongtian Sect Master of Shangqing!

However, if this continues, the foundation of the Dao that leads to heaven will inevitably be polluted, and even the Dao fruit of a sage will be damaged.

While he won't perish, his future path is hopeless.

Haotian took a deep breath and looked at the Three Pure Ones: "Senior Brother, I'll give you a definite answer today: I will not lend out this innate treasure!"

"Junior brother!" Tongtian roared, "We've brought all our merit points, why won't you lend them to us? Are you trying to ruin the reputation of the Merit Merchant Guild?"

"That's better than watching your path to enlightenment end!" Haotian's eyes were icy cold. "Senior brother, we've known each other for countless eons. Can't you tell whether my intentions are genuine or not?"

"The Jie Sect is a mixed bag. Senior Brother is willing to sacrifice himself for his disciples, but has he ever thought about Senior Brothers Taiqing and Yuqing?"

"Master, you pass on your teachings to three friends, bearing the fate of countless disciples on your shoulders, yet you make us worry along with you."

"In the end, it's because my senior brother is too soft-hearted!"

Tongtian opened his mouth, but Haotian immediately raised his palm: "No need to say anything. You did it for your disciples, and I did it for the Three Realms and my senior brother. As long as they abide by the Heavenly Rules, how could there be so much karma?"

"If you can't even do these things, what's the point of cultivating immortality or practicing the Dao!"

Haotian coldly uttered his final words, which, in his previous life, would have meant demanding that they obey the law. They couldn't even do that, only knowing how to abuse their status as disciples of a sage to act arrogantly and domineeringly. They were nothing but a menace in life!

No matter how many of the disciples of the Chan Sect bullied the few, compared to the scum of the Jie Sect who committed murder, arson, and even ate hearts and spread plagues, they were moral exemplars.
