Chapter 159

Outside Jinao Island.

Under the gaze of all living beings in the Primordial world.

In the sky.

Yuanshi Tianzun took out the Pangu Banner, and terrifying power immediately permeated, and the surrounding space was distorted by it.

"Tong Tian, you asked for this!" Yuanshi Tianzun shouted angrily.

Endless Dao principles instantly lingered around his body, and the vast Saint's might permeated out, sweeping the world.

The Pangu Banner in his hand fluttered in the wind, and the monstrous momentum carried an aura that destroyed the world.

Between the waves, waves of terrifying power of heaven and earth swept towards Tong Tian Jiaozhu.

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun in a rage, Tong Tian Jiaozhu was energized.

Since becoming a Saint, no one was worth taking action against, so he just took this opportunity to stretch his muscles.

"Yuanshi, let me see what you are capable of."

Tong Tian's expression was indifferent, and four divine swords emitting endless killing aura instantly appeared behind him.

They were the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Immortal-Killing Sword, the Immortal-Trapping Sword, and the Immortal-Ending Sword. The four swords came out together, and the sharp sword Qi rushed straight into the nine heavens, stirring the wind and clouds.

The moment the four swords unfolded, the entire world was filled with terrifying sword intent, and countless sword Qi crisscrossed, tearing the void.

Boom!

The boundless terrifying sword intent met the attack from the Pangu Banner.

The two collided, and the monstrous terrifying power was detonated.

Countless mountains and rivers were shattered, and the four seas were churning constantly.

All living beings in the Primordial world trembled under this terrifying power, not daring to resist in the slightest.

Some weak living beings even turned into ashes directly, without leaving a trace.

"Tong Tian, today I will let you know that I, Yuanshi, am not to be trifled with!"

Yuanshi Tianzun shouted loudly, the terrifying Saint's might permeated out, and he waved the Pangu Banner again. Wherever it went, space collapsed, and all things were destroyed.

Tong Tian was also carried away, having not had such a refreshing battle for a long time.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Array unfolded, and endless terrifying sword intent erupted.

"Yuanshi, use whatever skills you have!"

Sword intent crisscrossed between heaven and earth, and countless terrifying sword intents poured down like a rainstorm, each containing endless killing power, blasting towards Yuanshi Tianzun.

The entire world was restless under this terrifying sword intent.

Yuanshi Tianzun's face was solemn, knowing the power of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, and he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

He hurriedly sacrificed the Heavens' Celebration Clouds, and suddenly five-colored light rendered the heavens, and eight-tone immortal music resounded through the universe.

But even with the Heavens' Celebration Clouds, Yuanshi Tianzun used all his strength to defend, only barely blocking the attack of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, and was repelled a long way, his face becoming a bit pale.

Yuanshi Tianzun gradually calmed down. He shouldn't have taken action against Tong Tian alone; it was still too difficult to resist the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords by himself.

"Tong Tian, do you have to fall out with me for the sake of a disciple?" Yuanshi Tianzun glared, his voice cold.

Tong Tian said: "Yuanshi, what do you mean by 'have to'? As the Sect Leader of the Jie Sect, isn't it right for me to protect my disciples? You are allowed to come to my Jinao Island to make trouble for the sake of your disciples, but I am not allowed to protect my Jie Sect disciples?"

"If you still want to take action against my disciple, today I will have to fight you to the end."

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was gloomy. He really wanted to fight Tong Tian to the end, but in the end, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly: "The actions of my Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals are determined by the number of heaven. Your disciple is acting against heaven, killing my Twelve Golden Immortals, which is against the principles of heaven. Why are you so stubborn, protecting him with your life?"

"Number of heaven?" Tong Tian snorted coldly: "Yuanshi, your Chan Sect's set doesn't work here."

"Your disciples only became like you, smelly and hard, after listening to your bullshit theory. They have always used explaining the Heavenly Dao as an excuse outside, committing crimes and doing evil with peace of mind. Now that they are burdened with the killing calamity, it is completely self-inflicted."

The doctrines and concepts of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect conflicted, so there were constant conflicts.

Yuanshi Tianzun originally wanted to use the Investiture of the Gods to get rid of the Jie Sect, but he didn't expect variables to arise.

"Tong Tian, it is not your turn to teach me how to do things in my Chan Sect. You should teach your disciples well. They are all fur-clad and horn-bearing creatures who cannot be on the stage."

Being insulted to his face by Yuanshi for his Jie Sect disciples again, Tong Tian frowned: "Yuanshi, it seems you still want to practice with me."

"Practice then, who is afraid of whom!"

Just as the two were about to take action, a long sigh sounded between heaven and earth.

"Sigh..."

Hearing this sigh, Yuanshi and Tong Tian stopped.

Following that, Taiqing Laozi appeared: "Stop it all."

Seeing Taiqing Laozi appear, Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Eldest Brother."

Although Tong Tian was unhappy in his heart, he stopped and said: "Eldest Brother,"

Taiqing Laozi glanced at Tong Tian, his eyes showing some regret.

"Third Brother, I already know about the matter. The Investiture of the Gods follows the Heavenly Dao. Your disciple killed Huanglong, which is against the number of heaven. It should be handed over to Second Brother for disposal."

Tong Tian frowned slightly, very dissatisfied.

"Eldest Brother, what do you mean by this? You came and took sides without distinguishing right from wrong. Is this your attitude? Then I have to disappoint you. My disciple has done no wrong. Even if there is to be punishment, it is not your turn to point fingers here!"

Taiqing Laozi arrived, and Yuanshi Tianzun had confidence, shouting angrily: "Tong Tian, Eldest Brother is here, how can you be so presumptuous! So ignorant of respect and seniority? Do you still have Eldest Brother in your eyes?"

Facing the accusation, Tong Tian snorted coldly: "You keep talking about respect and seniority, can your actions really be worthy of the responsibility of an elder brother?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes widened, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He was thinking about what Tong Tian was referring to.

Taiqing Laozi looked at Tong Tian, a trace of complex emotion in his calm gaze.

Tong Tian had really changed.

In the past, regardless of right or wrong, as long as he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun would echo from the side. Even if he was reasonable, Tong Tian had to swallow this breath silently. Now he speaks to them like this.

He sighed.

"Third Brother, the Twelve Golden Immortals are the key people of the Investiture of the Gods and cannot have any mistakes. Otherwise, the calamity cannot subside, which may trigger an immeasurable calamity. At that time, even if we are Saints, it will be difficult to retreat safely."

Not expecting Taiqing Laozi to pull so far, Tong Tian smiled.

"Eldest Brother, there is a simpler way to eliminate the calamity. Directly suppress and kill the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals, and this calamity will not expand. At that time, my Jie Sect's ten thousand immortals will voluntarily request to eliminate the karma residue brought by the calamity in various places."

Taiqing Laozi was silent and did not answer immediately.

Yuanshi Tianzun was furious and couldn't help it: "Bastard! Tong Tian, you actually have such an idea, do you want to cut off the foundation of my Chan Sect?"

Tong Tian said indifferently: "Second Brother, this statement is wrong. After the Twelve Golden Immortals are on the list and the Investiture of the Gods is completed, they will still be your disciples, just trapped by the Investiture of the Gods. Besides, Second Brother, you can completely cultivate another batch of disciples as successors. Why do you have to hold on to the Twelve Golden Immortals?"

"If Second Brother has no disciples to choose from, my Jie Sect has ten thousand immortals coming to court. I can let some disciples join the Chan Sect and accept Second Brother's teaching."

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain: "My Chan Sect pays attention to origins, qualifications, background, and history. How can it be like you, paying attention to teaching without discrimination, taking in whatever things? Don't you know that if the origin is not correct, the mind must be incorrect?"

"Yuanshi, I see you still want to practice with me." Tong Tian said.

"Tong Tian, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Taiqing Laozi spoke.

"Alright, Second Brother, Third Brother, how about taking a step back in this matter?"

"Third Brother, the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals are burdened with the killing calamity and need to use the Investiture of the Gods to eliminate the calamity. Your Jie Sect disciples have no calamity and should not interfere with the Chan Sect's Investiture of the Gods. Your disciple killing Daoist Huanglong is indeed biased."

"But I can discuss this matter with Second Brother, let's not mention it for now. You should restrain your disciples in the future and don't interfere with the Chan Sect's Investiture of the Gods. What do you think?"

Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to say something, but Taiqing Laozi glanced at him, so he had to give up.

Taiqing appeared, and Tong Tian dared not fight anymore. If the Western two Saints joined, one against four Saints, even with the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, he couldn't hold on, so he could only stop while he was ahead.

He spoke slowly.

"Eldest Brother, the death of Daoist Huanglong was entirely because he attacked my Jie Sect disciple first, and he was bullying the small with the big, but his skills were inferior to others, so he was killed in return. It is not that I don't restrain my disciples."

"But since Eldest Brother has spoken, I will naturally give this face. My Jie Sect will not take the initiative to provoke Chan Sect disciples, but if Chan Sect disciples take the initiative to provoke my Jie Sect disciples, then it will be based on their own abilities. If they are killed in return, they cannot blame anyone."

Taiqing Laozi was silent for a moment: "That's very good. Second Brother, you have no opinion, right?"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun was unwilling to let Tong Tian go like this, Taiqing Laozi had proposed it, so he couldn't refuse. He could only wait until he went back to ask what this meant and why he didn't put pressure on Tong Tian.

"Eldest Brother has spoken, I naturally have no opinion."

Taiqing Laozi nodded: "Then Third Brother, restrain your disciples well and don't interfere with the Chan Sect's Investiture of the Gods."

After speaking, Saint Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun left, leaving only Tong Tian Jiaozhu standing in place.
