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

What does Senior Brother Yuanshi mean by this?

Is it resignation, extreme anger, or the suppression of final madness?

Jieyin and Zhunti had different expressions. Their disciples' cultivation had been crippled, and their Dao hearts were in turmoil. Yet Yuanshi Tianzun was so calm!

Watching the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage speed away, Laozi sighed heavily, suppressing the corners of his lips that were curling up. His second brother must have been unable to hold back any longer, leaving in such a hurry!

"Xuantian, send this Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to the Chan Sect." A jade bottle fell from his sleeve, and the fragrance of the elixir made Zhunti's eyes light up.

The disciples' cultivation is gone, but their realm remains. If the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is used, it can still be made up for.

"Senior Brother, to jointly defeat the Jie Sect, we still need our disciples. Otherwise, the Jie Sect disciples might slaughter all the immortals. Could you spare some Nine-Turn Golden Pills for me?" Zhunti looked at Laozi expectantly.

"Sure!" Laozi smiled inexplicably, and as the smile appeared on Zhunti's face, he slowly spoke, "Sell it at the price set by the Merit Merchant Guild!"

"Senior Brother, let's fight against the Jie Sect together!" Jieyin emphasized.

"If you're not going to buy, go to Gongde Trading Company!"

A glint of light flashed in Longji's eyes: "Sage, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir of the Merit Merchant Guild has been stored away to prepare for the great calamity to come."

Jieyin's brow twitched, and Zhunti exclaimed in exasperation, "Brother Yuanshi, he..."

Lao Tzu glanced at him sideways, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

Yuanshi is my second brother, what are you?

It's all just an act. The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is just to give the disciples of the Chan Sect more protection in the future calamity. Do you really think they have lost all their cultivation?

"Tongtian, since you want to fight, go back and prepare!" Laozi waved his hand, annoyed!

Tongtian chuckled, "It's good that Big Brother agrees!"

Jieyin sighed, and merit coins rained down. Laozi swept them with his divine sense and tossed out a jade bottle. There were only ten Great Luo Immortals still alive among the Western Sect disciples, which was enough.

"Senior Brother, there are also disciples at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm." Zhunti resignedly took out his merit points, while Laozi chuckled and threw out two more jade bottles.

He mounted the blue ox, his aura radiating power. All the immortals and gods of the primordial world remained silent, witnessing the tragic scene. Laozi's voice, steady and calm, instantly resounded throughout the primordial world:

"Three days later, the three sects will join forces to break the Jie Sect's Immortal Slaughtering Formation. Any rogue cultivators from the primordial world who wish to come can compete for the opportunity to be listed on the leaderboard!"

After saying that, the green ox let out a "moo" and disappeared into the void.

Jieyin and Zhunti flicked their sleeves, not even glancing at the other rogue cultivators. They all agreed with a saying Tongtian had made—

Heaven is ruthless, but even saints are compassionate, though only towards those close to them!

Using the excuse of being a rogue cultivator from the primordial era, they were merely pressuring Tongtian. Who would be willing to sacrifice their own interests for them?

Looking at the rogue cultivators and immortals gradually waking up, as well as the immortals and gods from the primordial world rushing to this place, Bo Huang shrugged. These guys really caught a good time!

The fisherman reaps the benefits!

The Three Immortals of Sanxiao crippled all the disciples of the Western Sect, and only 30% of the rogue cultivators were unharmed. These were all immortals and gods who had accumulated merit and virtue, and those who had neither merit nor demerit had their cultivation stripped away. This was clearly revenge for their previous insistence on killing the disciples of the Jie Sect.

As for those who were listed on the Investiture of the Gods, they were not considered by them.

The immortals and gods who have arrived now are lucky; at least they only need to participate in the final battle, and if they win, the opportunity will be right before their eyes.

Longji looked at the immortals and gods and sighed. The Three Immortals of Sanxiao knew the rules and did not kill them all. Even so, the number of immortals and gods from the Jie Sect who could be listed would increase considerably.

After all, the Intercepting Sect won a huge victory in the battle of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation!

"Fellow Daoists, although the Merit Merchant Guild doesn't have the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, it does sell other elixirs, and they're currently offering a 20% discount. Hurry up and go," Bo Huang reminded them.

The immortals and gods whose cultivation hadn't been stripped looked at each other strangely. Sage Zhunti had bought it from Sage Taiqing at the original price!

Bo Huang remained calm and composed. Since the Sage Zhunti didn't ask any questions, what business is it of this Crown Prince?

"Let's go, this has certainly broadened our horizons." Longji led Yang Jian and Yang Chan away, glancing back one last time.

This grand formation uses three top-grade innate spiritual treasures—the Primordial Golden Cauldron, the Multi-Treasure Pagoda, and the Unreturning Pearl—to suppress the evil spirits, and also uses the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram as a backup. With so many immortals and gods falling this time, the evil spirits have been swept away by the formation diagram. It's unimaginable how powerful the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is!

"In truth, even the Sage of Heaven is powerless!" Bo Huang murmured.

Zhong Lang nodded: "The Sage said that the Sage has feelings. Although ten disciples have been listed on the list in their physical bodies, he cannot let go of the other disciples."

Longji looked at Yang Jian and Yang Chan with puzzled expressions; the two of them were still completely unaware!

"If we don't leave the mountain, our chances of survival will be divided up; if we do leave, we risk dying. But if we're lucky, we might get a chance." Longji explained to the two of them, "The Jie Sect wants to finish this in one battle. Rather than being slowly cut down, we might as well fight with all our might."

"This time, the allied forces were thoroughly dealt a blow. The Primordial Sage and the Zhunti Sage took the lead, and the Tongtian Sage set up the formation. There was no room for the others to object."

Bo Huang nodded. The disciples of the Chan Sect who had suppressed the disciples of the Jie Sect during the previous great battle had also had the opportunity to be listed on the list in terms of physical body. These were all places made up by rogue cultivators and disciples of the Western Sect.

"The Sage of Tongtian has done all he could!" Bo Huang exclaimed with admiration. As a master, he had gone to such lengths, repeatedly confronting the other sages.

Longji shook his head: "I thought the Sage of Heaven would disregard the rules and just set up an array!"

After all, this saint has such a personality; once he overturns the table and throws everything into chaos, everyone else can only follow his ideas!

"To avoid responsibility," Bo Huang chuckled, "I'm afraid Father will use this as an excuse to take action. After all, if a sage breaks the rules and violates his promise, Father can directly take action and completely destroy the Jie Sect."

"However, I'm afraid even Father Emperor didn't expect that the Sage of Heaven would go through such a long and roundabout way, just to have a legitimate reason."

The group silently looked up at the Heavenly Court.

……

The Jade Pool Wonderland.

Yaochi's hand, gripping the teacup, trembled with laughter: "Senior brother, you've always been incredibly shrewd, but you never expected Senior Brother Tongtian to pull this trick!"

Haotian smiled helplessly: "Yes, Senior Brother Tongtian has actually developed a brain!"

He's no longer the headstrong young man he used to be, who only knew how to act rashly and impulsively!

"If Tongtian were to set up the formation directly, would Senior Brother really not intervene?" Yaochi asked, stopping her laughter.

"No, his formation will only force the other saints to go all out," Haotian replied confidently. "The destruction of the Jie Sect is inevitable. In the end, it will only depend on how many disciples can be saved. But Senior Brother Tongtian is worried about me taking action. It seems he has also grown."

Yaochi chuckled, "After being taught a lesson by my senior brother so many times, both openly and subtly, I'd really be a fool if I didn't grow up."

Haotian did not answer. Tongtian had indeed changed. With this mindset, he would no longer be the Tongtian Sect Leader who, for the sake of his disciples, declared that he would re-establish the "Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind".

The fact that he showed mercy to the disciples of the Chan Sect shows that the Three Pure Ones' affection for him remains unchanged, and that what his two senior brothers, Taiqing and Yuqing, did for him was not in vain.

This can be considered one of the changes I have brought about!

A malevolent aura surged from the mortal realm, causing many powerful beings to appear solemn. Even the saints wore expressions of varying degrees, and all the immortals' gazes were focused on Lintong Pass.

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance, and Taibai Jinxing lightly flicked his whisk: "Your Majesty and Your Highness, please depart!"
