Chapter 1469

"Then we'd better stay on San Xiandao and hold down the fort."

Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao nodded, mounted auspicious clouds, and headed straight for Jin Ao Island.

Jin Ao Island.

The cultivation ground of the Jiao Sect's Sect Master Tongtian — this place brimmed with spiritual energy, Daoist resonance filled the heavens, ten thousand Daos' laws surfaced, auspicious qi rose in waves forming lucky clouds, and immortal lotuses bloomed everywhere with spiritual light. Truly a wondrous land renowned throughout the Three Realms.

"Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Yun, what brings you to Jin Ao Island?"

Seeing Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao, the Water-Fire Boys came forward to greet them.

Zhao Gongming laughed: "Of course we have matters to ask our Master. Boys, please report to our Master — say that my junior sister and I have come to pay our respects."

"Then please wait a moment, Senior Sister, Senior Brother."

After the report, Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming entered Jin Ao Island.

Sect Master Tongtian sat high upon the clouds, expression calm and unhurried, auspicious light rising in his hands as if he were performing some wondrous art.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted, his eyes falling upon Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao.

"That's not right!"

"Your cultivation base?"

Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming could indeed conceal their cultivation base, but face-to-face with a Saint — and the other party wasn't blind — naturally the signs could be discerned.

Zhao Gongming laughed: "Master, first scramble the heavenly secrets before we speak."

Sect Master Tongtian nodded, cast a hand-seal, and instantly the heavenly secrets of the Three Realms became a chaos.

Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao exchanged a glance, cast seals again, and stirred the heavenly secrets into utter upheaval.

Kunlun.

"What is Tongtian plotting now?" Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, wanting to divine it — yet could divine nothing at all.

Wanting to sort out the scrambled heavenly secrets was not something that could be done in a short while.

By then, the other party would probably have finished their plotting long ago.

"Hmph!"

Yuanshi Tianzun gave a cold snort, unwilling to do such thankless work, and could only let it be.

The West.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Tongtian has made a big move — will it affect our plans?" Zhunti wore a solemn expression, gazing toward Jin Ao Island.

Jiying said with a smile: "No matter. The great trend of the Heavenly Dao cannot be changed. If we go along with Heaven's will, the Heavenly Dao naturally stands with us. Whatever Tongtian plots will be useless."

Zhunti, hearing this, was reassured: "Right — as long as the Heavenly Dao is with us, who could affect the great rise of the West?"

At the thought of this, excitement welled up in his heart.

Tongtian was famed for the claim that once the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was deployed, he could stand against four Saints.

Yet he did not know the heavenly mandate, did not know the great tribulation about to befall the Jiao Sect.

Such a reckless man was truly beneath Zhunti's contempt.

He stole a glance at his senior brother Jiying, and a feeling of admiration welled up within him.

His own senior brother, though his origins were not as good as Tongtian's, had sorted out the very fabric of the Heavenly Dao with perfect clarity, and his scheming had already reached hundreds of millions of years ahead.

This was what a true hero of the age looked like.

Jin Ao Island.

"Speak — what is going on?" Sect Master Tongtian, seeing the two's method of scrambling the heavenly secrets, looked even more startled.

Such a method was absolutely not something a Quasi-Saint could possess.

Could it be that his two disciples had already become Saints?!

Arriving at this conclusion, Tongtian was stunned.

This was too inconceivable.

One had to know — among all the Saints of the Investiture of the Gods world, which one had become a Saint by perfecting the Three Corpses?

Apart from Hongjun, was there anyone else?

Yet his own disciples, whose talent was a notch below that of the various Sect Masters — how could they have silently crossed that final step!

Zhao Gongming: "Just as Master guessed — we have become Saints."

Yunxiao shook her head: "No, it should be Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian."

"This…" Sect Master Tongtian was dumbfounded. "Did you borrow the Fortune Jade Disc from the Ancestor?"

Having said it, he himself could hardly believe it.

The Fortune Jade Disc — none of the Sect Masters could borrow it; what ability did Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming have to borrow it?

"Master truly knows the final path of the Three-Corpses Sainthood method?" Zhao Gongming said, suddenly enlightened.

Tongtian laughed: "Your two Martial Uncles and I have studied it for no short time — how could we not know the key within? But what good is knowing? That Fortune Jade Disc is an impossible hurdle to break through. The Ancestor — he would never lend the Disc to us."

Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming nodded lightly.

As the Lord who had opened the heavens and earth, and who had refined the Fortune Jade Disc, he naturally knew the importance of this thing.

With the Fortune Jade Disc in hand, Hongjun was the Lord of the World.

If the Fortune Jade Disc were seized by someone and branded with the other's imprint, then the world would belong to that person.

Such a thing naturally had no possibility of being lent out.

"In the end, we could only accept our fate — borrowing the authority of Heaven and Earth through the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and becoming Saints!"

"Though our status is honored, we are not free. Who would have thought that the dignity of Sainthood is actually the least free immortal under Heaven?"
