Chapter 22: Tong Tian rewards the Water-Fire Gourd

"Nephew, have you found the Six-Soul Banner?"

On the way back to Golden Turtle Island, Duo Bao, Jin Ling, Gui Ling, and Wu Dang rushed over together.

Gu Xiu smiled shallowly: "The Six-Soul Banner has been retrieved. Since you are here, Uncle-Master Duo Bao, I will leave this Six-Soul Banner to you for safekeeping."

As he said this, he took out the Six-Soul Banner and handed it to Duo Bao Taoist.

Seeing that it was really the Six-Soul Banner, Duo Bao Taoist and the Three Great Holy Mothers were all overjoyed.

"Nephew, you have truly performed a great service this time. The Six-Soul Banner is the banner of our sect's Ten Thousand Immortals Array, which is of vital importance. We were worried that it would fall into the hands of others. It seems that fortune is still on the side of our Jie Sect." Duo Bao Taoist praised him.

The Three Great Holy Mothers nodded, their gazes also full of approval.

"Junior Sister Yun Xiao, you have truly taken in a good disciple."

Facing the praise of the four Uncle-Masters, Gu Xiu could not be happy at all.

The Jie Sect has no magic treasure to suppress fortune, and it has been losing it since the Great Calamity arrived.

Such good days of talking about heaven and earth and being harmonious might soon be gone.

And based on the scene he saw when he went to retrieve the Six-Soul Banner, it was not that no one went to retrieve it, but that the place where the Six-Soul Banner was lost was filled with black energy, evil energy soaring to the sky, devouring all life. If it weren't for the World-Destroying Black Lotus, it is estimated that he would still be watching in the sea trench now.

At this moment, Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao also came over.

"Gu Xiu, I heard you found the Six-Soul Banner?" Yun Xiao asked as soon as she arrived.

Seeing the expectant gazes of his master and uncle-master, Gu Xiu nodded: "Naturally, the disciple has already handed it over to Uncle-Master Duo Bao."

Duo Bao Taoist nodded: "Junior Sister Yun Xiao, the nephew has already handed the Six-Soul Banner to me. Let's go back and meet the teacher."

Yun Xiao nodded slightly, and everyone returned to Golden Turtle Island together and headed to Biyou Palace.

More than a hundred thousand miles away from the East Sea, Jieyin and Zhunti, who had rushed from the Western land, looked miserable.

Because the East Sea is the territory of the Jie Sect, the Saint's aura is too powerful. If they came to the East Sea, Tong Tian would definitely notice.

They originally intended to observe outside the East Sea and think of a way to hide their aura to go to the East Sea.

Never expecting to see Gu Xiu, Duo Bao, and others meet up and return to Golden Turtle Island together.

Jieyin sighed: "I didn't expect the Jie Sect to find the Six-Soul Banner so quickly. Could it be that the opportunity for our West to rise has not yet arrived?"

Zhunti was full of sorrow: "Senior Brother, the Six-Soul Banner has been retrieved. Will Tong Tian discover that we have been in contact with Ding Guang Xian?"

The smile on Jieyin's face disappeared, and his gaze tightened: "We just won't admit it."

Hearing this, Zhunti nodded happily: "Good!"

"Junior Brother, since we are here in the East, let's visit Senior Brother Yuanshi. When we attained the Dao, we saw that the opportunity for the West to rise lies in the Jie Sect. Although an anomaly appeared leading to Mile's listing, we cannot miss this opportunity, otherwise Mile died in vain."

"Senior Brother, what you said is very true. I see that many disciples of the Jie Sect have a connection with our West. If they all come to our West, how can our West not flourish!"

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Golden Turtle Island.

Biyou Palace.

The Four Great Direct Disciples and the Three Xiao sisters met Tong Tian together, and Gu Xiu also went to join in the fun.

Seeing Duo Bao and the others return so quickly, Tong Tian spoke slowly: "Duo Bao, you have returned so quickly, have you found the Six-Soul Banner back?"

Duo Bao stepped forward and saluted: "Reporting to the teacher, the Six-Soul Banner has been found, but finding the Six-Soul Banner is all thanks to Nephew Gu Xiu."

"Yes, teacher, it is thanks to the nephew that the Six-Soul Banner could be found so quickly."

The Three Great Holy Mothers also spoke good words for Gu Xiu.

Hearing this, Tong Tian's gaze quickly locked onto Gu Xiu, who was standing with the Three Xiao sisters.

"You are the disciple Yun Xiao took in not long ago?"

It is rare to have the honor of being watched by a Saint, but thinking of Tong Tian's ending of being imprisoned in Zixiao Palace, it is truly sigh-inducing.

Gu Xiu walked out and stepped forward to cup his hands.

"Disciple Gu Xiu, pay respects to the Grandmaster, wishing the Grandmaster holy longevity without bounds, holy name forever passed on. Reporting to the Grandmaster, I am indeed the disciple that my master Yun Xiao took in not long ago."

"Not bad, not bad." A burst of random praise upon arrival made Tong Tian very happy: "You retrieved the Six-Soul Banner for the Jie Sect and are Yun Xiao's disciple. I, this Grandmaster, have not given you a meeting gift yet. I wonder what you want?"

Gu Xiu wanted the Jie Sect to withdraw from the Investiture of the Gods, and Tong Tian would be willing, but Hongjun, Taiqing, Yuanshi, and the two Western Saints would not agree, so he did not intend to mention it.

As for magic treasures, he himself did not know what he wanted.

He knew that the magic treasures Tong Tian possessed were basically distributed to his disciples, and the rest were Saint magic treasures; even if he wanted them, Tong Tian would definitely not give them.

"Grandmaster, I don't want anything at the moment. You should see if Uncle-Master Ding Guang's soul has been captured by the Six-Soul Banner."

Tong Tian nodded with satisfaction, his eyes showing appreciation: "Not arrogant or impetuous, very good character. But my Jie Sect has always been clear about rewards and punishments. You retrieved the Six-Soul Banner for the Jie Sect, so you should be rewarded. Seeing that you and this gourd are a good match, I will bestow it upon you; consider it a meeting gift from your Grandmaster."

As he said this, he raised his hand, and a purple-yellow gourd appeared in his hand, slowly flying in front of Gu Xiu.

Duo Bao Taoist was slightly stunned when he saw this gourd: "Could this be the Water-Fire Gourd?"

Hearing this, the Three Great Holy Mothers and the Three Xiao sisters were all surprised; none of them expected Tong Tian to give the Water-Fire Gourd to Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu originally did not care, but upon hearing Duo Bao Taoist's words, he was also stunned, unable to believe it.

The Water-Fire Gourd, he naturally knew; it was one of the seven gourds that grew on the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Seven-Colored Gourd Vine.

The purple-yellow gourd in Tong Tian's hand is called the Water-Fire Gourd.

It possesses rich water-fire law power, contains Nine Heavens Profound Fire and Nine Nether Profound Water, and nurtures two water-fire Qilins. Its power is huge, but Tong Tian has never used it to fight enemies, so its effect is unknown.

After coming back to his senses, Gu Xiu could not hide the joy in his eyes: "Many thanks, Grandmaster, for bestowing the treasure."

Seeing the joy in Gu Xiu's eyes, Tong Tian was very satisfied: "As long as you like it."

Gu Xiu probably knew why Tong Tian gave him the Water-Fire Gourd; it was probably related to his swallowing the Chaos Lotus Seed and reshaping his foundation.

The Water-Fire Gourd is only known by name and has never been seen used. Since it is now in his hands, he must verify its effect well and not let it gather dust.

Seeing that his disciple was valued by Tong Tian and obtained a heavy treasure, Yun Xiao's beautiful face also showed joy, but since they were currently in Biyou Palace, it was not easy to talk.

Bi Xiao also looked like she couldn't wait to praise him a few times, but in Biyou Palace, she had to suppress her temper.

After giving the Water-Fire Gourd to Gu Xiu, Tong Tian's gaze fell on Duo Bao Taoist.

"Duo Bao, take out the Six-Soul Banner."

"Yes, teacher."

Duo Bao took out the Six-Soul Banner, Tong Tian raised his hand, and the Six-Soul Banner appeared in his hand, and he spoke.

"Sure enough, Ding Guang Xian's soul was captured into the Six-Soul Banner."

After speaking, he extracted Ding Guang Xian's soul from the Six-Soul Banner.

It was just that the primordial spirit was already damaged, and Ding Guang Xian looked dull and silly.

"Teacher, how could Ding Guang Xian be like this?" Duo Bao asked, puzzled.

Tong Tian was silent for a moment and said indifferently: "The Six-Soul Banner is a fierce and strange treasure that will erode the primordial spirit and soul. Currently, we can only check his primordial spirit memory to see what happened. Fortunately, the soul is still there; if he enters reincarnation, there is still a glimmer of life."

Seeing that Ding Guang Xian still had a glimmer of life, Gu Xiu felt very unhappy in his heart and really wanted to cut off this glimmer of life.

But the Six-Soul Banner had already been handed over to Tong Tian, so there was no such opportunity.

"Grandmaster, can you extract the memory of Uncle-Master Ding Guang's accident so that the disciple and the Uncle-Masters can watch it together?"

Checking a person's memory is not very difficult; ordinary mortal cultivators can check by extracting the soul, but low-level methods will damage the soul.

After becoming an immortal, one can extract a certain memory of a person, or directly peep, or even erase it.

Gu Xiu also wanted to know what Ding Guang Xian had encountered.

Originally, he wanted to explore Ding Guang Xian's primordial spirit, but hearing Gu Xiu's words, Tong Tian said: "Very well, then I will extract the memory of Ding Guang Xian's accident and let you watch it together."

Tong Tian began to check Ding Guang Xian's primordial spirit memory; at first, everything was normal, but suddenly he frowned.

"Teacher, is there something wrong?" Duo Bao asked.

Tong Tian did not reply, his face gloomy, and he extracted a fragment of Ding Guang Xian's memory. The memory fragments were arranged in an orderly manner, lingering. Through the memory fragments, one could observe the events Ding Guang Xian had experienced.

Tong Tian said in a deep voice.

"Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, because he could not break through to the middle stage of the Da Luo Golden Immortal, has been specializing in the Western Joyous Method since he came into contact with Jieyin and Zhunti, and has been addicted to it ever since, yearning for the West. In order to cultivate the Joyous Dao, he often committed evil outside and harmed living beings. It is the misfortune of my sect."

Duo Bao, the Three Great Holy Mothers, and the Three Xiao sisters were also extremely angry when they saw Ding Guang Xian's actions.

Subsequently, Tong Tian extracted the memory fragments of Ding Guang Xian's accident.

Gu Xiu looked at it and was suddenly embarrassed; he did not expect that what he said before had come true.

Ding Guang Xian was beaten away by him and Bi Xiao, and he did go to the East Sea to find water tribe creatures to vent his lust. Because he was already seriously injured, he was killed and swallowed into the belly when he was plotting against a Kun fish.

During the battle, the Six-Soul Banner was lost, drawing out its own fierce evil energy, turning the sea area near the entire sea trench into a dead zone.

Duo Bao Taoist requested: "Teacher, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian actually dared to betray the sect to cultivate the Western Joyous Method and committed many things that humiliated my Jie Sect. I implore the teacher to erase Ding Guang Xian's primordial spirit, punish the traitor, and warn others!"

"Disciple implores the teacher to erase Ding Guang Xian's primordial spirit, punish the traitor, and warn others!" The Three Great Holy Mothers and the Three Xiao sisters requested together.

Their faces were covered with frost, their willow eyebrows were raised, and their beautiful faces were somewhat pale with anger. None of them expected that Ding Guang Xian would do such a lowly thing, ruining the reputation of the Jie Sect. Such a person could not be allowed to stay in the Jie Sect.

This matter did not exist at all in the Investiture of the Gods. Now it seems that anomalies have begun to appear, fully explaining that things are done by people.

Seeing that the disciples all requested to punish Ding Guang Xian, Tong Tian said: "Ding Guang Xian's intention to betray the sect is true. He should have been abolished of his cultivation, expelled from the Jie Sect, and forbidden from cultivating the Shangqing lineage method, but he has already eaten his own bitter fruit, so let him be trapped in the Investiture of the Gods list forever."

As he said this, he scattered Ding Guang Xian's primordial spirit and hit the remaining true spirit toward Mount Kunlun.

Then, he said to Duo Bao: "Duo Bao, the Kun fish that killed Ding Guang Xian is the Peng-Winged Golden-Winged Roc that lives on Penglai Immortal Island, Yu Yi Xian. You go and ask him if he is willing to take the place of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian as one of the Seven Attendant Immortals, or die."

"Follow the decree!" ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
