Chapter 130

Two Sages radiating Buddha-light descended here; they were Jieyin and Zhunti.

As they lingered, just as Jieyin was about to speak, a terrifying sword intent surged into the sky.

"Boom..."

A violent collision sound rang out; Jieyin and Zhunti felt a mountain-toppling, sea-draining force, and their bodies were shaken back.

"Tongtian."

Without a doubt, the attack just now was the work of Tongtian.

Only the power of a Sage could repel them.

Above Biyou Palace.

Tongtian Jiaozhu appeared, looking at the repelled Jieyin and Zhunti with a cold smile, though he did not attack recklessly.

He did not want to blow up his own Secret Realm because of a fight.

One must know that the eruption of Sage power could achieve exactly that.

Naturally, if they were in the Pure Land, Tongtian Jiaozhu would have no such reservations.

"Tongtian Jiaozhu, what are you doing?" Zhunti stared at Tongtian, issuing a challenge.

They had just arrived at Biyou Palace, and Tongtian had attacked; what was the meaning of this?

"What am I doing? I should be the one asking you: what do you intend by coming here?" Tongtian Jiaozhu said coldly. "This is my territory. You enter my world and descend upon my Biyou Palace—what is the meaning of this? Are you looking to fight me?"

Hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, saying nothing.

Their actions, among Sages, could indeed be considered somewhat excessive.

If they were visiting other Sages, such as Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, or Nuwa, they would not have done this.

But although Tongtian Jiaozhu's strength was decent, he was a loser in the past Era of Investiture of the Gods.

This caused Jieyin and Zhunti to look down on Tongtian Jiaozhu somewhat.

Furthermore, the fact that Fomen had vaguely surpassed the Dao Sect in the mortal world to become the number one sect filled Jieyin and his companion with confidence and pride.

Towards Tongtian Jiaozhu, they were even more dismissive.

This was the reason they had acted this way.

Thus, to Tongtian Jiaozhu's questioning, they seemed unable to answer.

"Tongtian, I ask you: this time you reorganized the Jie Sect and even sent disciples to Lingshan to shatter the barrier of my Eight-Treasure Merit Pond. Do you intend to interfere in mortal affairs? Have you forgotten what the Master said—that we Sages cannot interfere in the mortal world?" Zhunti questioned.

"So what if I reorganized the Jie Sect? So what if I shattered the Eight-Treasure Merit Pond? If you have the ability, have the Master take action," Tongtian Jiaozhu said disdainfully.

Facing Zhunti's questioning, Tongtian Jiaozhu would not retreat, nor would he explain anything.

His Master, Daoist Hongjun, had said that one cannot interfere in mortal affairs.

Tongtian Jiaozhu naturally knew this.

Therefore, his actions this time were not too excessive.

For instance, rebuilding the Jie Sect was mostly left to his disciples, and as for destroying the Eight-Treasure Merit Pond barrier, that was aimed at the power left behind by Jieyin.

Other mortal beings were not targets of the Qingping Sword.

In this way, it was unlikely that Daoist Hongjun would find any reason to punish Tongtian.

Jieyin and Zhunti understood this as well.

And their arrival here was primarily to learn Tongtian Jiaozhu's purpose.

Rebuilding the Jie Sect, and even having Jie Sect disciples break free from the Investiture of the Gods list, must have a reason behind it.

In such a situation, unimaginable problems might arise for the future Journey to the West Era of Kalpa Tribulation, so they had to be certain.

However, to their surprise, Tongtian Jiaozhu did not explain anything and simply confronted them.

"Tongtian, what do you mean by this?" Zhunti's expression shifted slightly as he spoke.

As fellow Sages, the Tongtian before them was being far too disrespectful.

One must remember that during the Era of Investiture of the Gods, Tongtian could only be considered a loser.

"I don't mean anything at all," Tongtian Jiaozhu said indifferently. "If you want to fight, I will accompany you."

"In the Chaos." Zhunti took a deep breath, and he and Jieyin transformed into two rays of light, heading toward the Chaos outside the Primordial World.

"Very well." Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed loudly and also headed toward the Chaos.

If a confrontation between Sages were to occur in the Primordial World, the damage to the world would be too great.

During the Era of Investiture of the Gods.

Tongtian Jiaozhu had wanted to reshape this world.

At that time, the struggle between Sages had not been fully unleashed.

Yet even so, it had been devastating to this world.

Only then did the composition of the several continents of this era form.

Eastern Victory Continent, Southern Jambu Continent, Western Cattle Continent, Northern Kuru Continent, and so on...

It was precisely because of this that Daoist Hongjun forbade Sages from interfering in mortal affairs.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, battles between Sages take place in the Chaos.

Legend has it that countless Chaos Demon Gods lived in the Chaos in the past, and eventually, Pangu slaughtered countless Demon Gods, opened the heavens and the earth, and created the Primordial World.

Outside the Primordial World.

Three rays of light flew out from this world.

The entire Chaos World was filled with terrifying chaotic power.

Generally, even a Quasi-Saint powerhouse appearing here could barely survive, and one careless move could lead to being lost within it.

Only Sages could walk in the Chaos World.

But even so.

Sages dared not venture too deep into the Chaos.

Because if they went too deep, they might not be able to find the coordinates of the Primordial World, which would be tragic.

Not to mention that many Demon Gods might still be alive in the Chaos.

After becoming a Sage, that is, a Hunyuan Da Luo Dao, Tongtian and the other Sages understood that their strength was merely the beginning.

Establishing a sect and gaining merit and luck was also a way for them to enhance their strength.

Otherwise, why would Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect work so hard to develop the Chan Sect, and even engage in a Kalpa Tribulation competition with the Jie Sect?

"Tongtian, why can your disciples break free from the Investiture of the Gods list? State your purpose for rebuilding the Jie Sect, and we won't need to engage in this battle," Jieyin said slowly.

"No need for nonsense; if you want to fight, then fight." Tongtian radiated a heaven-toppling fighting spirit.

Battle.

He had nothing to fear.

In the past, Tongtian had faced Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and Zhunti alone.

Fighting four Sages by himself, he had not been afraid.

Of course, that Tongtian Jiaozhu can achieve this is thanks to the might of the four Immortal-Slaying Swords; it is not to say that he can fight four opponents alone.

Otherwise, the collapse of the Jie Sect would not have happened.

In terms of overall strength.

Perhaps the Taiqing Sage Laozi was the most unfathomable.

Even Yuanshi Tianzun could not guess to what extent his senior brother's strength had reached.

"Tongtian, you no longer have the four Immortal-Slaying Swords in your hands; do you still think you can contend with us?" Zhunti asked with a frown.

"If it were my two senior brothers, Yuanshi and Laozi, that would be hard to say, but what are you two?" Tongtian Jiaozhu's eyes held contempt.

"Tongtian, you have gone too far." Jieyin's eyes carried a trace of anger.

"So what if I have?" Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed. "Jieyin, Zhunti, you two only know how to act sneakily; it was like that in the past, and it is like that now. I still remember when someone was at Zixiao Palace, relying on crying and acting to obtain two seats."

"Tongtian, take this move!" Zhunti stopped talking, and a hazy green bamboo appeared in his hand, which he threw out.

The Six-Cleanliness Bamboo was one of the supreme treasures in Zhunti's possession.

It could seal an enemy's six senses.

Even a Sage, if not careful, would be struck.

Although it would only seal them for a short time, for a Sage, an instant was enough to defeat the opponent.

When the green light of the Six-Cleanliness Bamboo spilled down, Tongtian Jiaozhu's gaze seemed to dull for a moment, which made Sage Zhunti's face reveal joy.

Tongtian Jiaozhu had been struck.

"Seven-Treasured Wonderful Tree."

Sage Zhunti held his own enlightenment magic treasure, flashed to Tongtian Jiaozhu's side, and the seven-colored light brushed down. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
