Chapter 194

Like the Demon Emperor Donghuang Taiyi, who possessed a Primordial Treasure, even he eventually fell.

Therefore, for many Quasi-Saints, becoming a Saint is their only hope.

But ever since the six Saints, including the Three Pure Ones, attained the Dao, no new Saint has been born in the endless years that followed.

This has made many Quasi-Saints realize that this might be a limitation of this world.

Yet, despite saying so, most veteran Quasi-Saints have not given up on this idea.

Only by attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint can one transcend everything.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor..."

At the same time, those powerful Quasi-Saints who were originally watching the battle bowed respectfully one after another.

Needless to say, those veteran Quasi-Saints were mostly beings who had listened to the Dao in the Zixiao Palace back then.

Even those new, powerful Quasi-Saints, how could they not have heard the legends of the Dao Ancestor?

…………………………………

"Hmm..." On Mount Huaguo, Hongjun stood in the void, his Daoist robes fluttering gently.

Hongjun paid no mind to the bows of those around him.

As the Dao Ancestor, he had long been accustomed to this scene.

"Tongtian, Zhunti, Saints are not allowed to interfere in the mortal world. Have my past instructions become useless?" Hongjun said lightly.

Although Hongjun appeared here to stop Zhunti and the others because of Wu Feng's existence.

But Hongjun could not possibly say it out loud.

On one hand, he could not act too proactively; after all, he believed that the senior was watching everything happening here.

On the other hand, the senior was living in seclusion here, and he could not let others disturb him too much, so he did not mention anything about Wu Feng.

As a result, Hongjun naturally had to find a pretext.

The matter of Zhunti and Tongtian was exactly what Hongjun could bring up to talk about.

"Boom..."

Hongjun's light words were like a thunderclap in Zhunti's ears, causing his expression to change instantly.

During this critical period of the Journey to the West Kalpa, he did not want to be punished by the Dao Ancestor.

A light punishment would be fine, but if it were like Tongtian's confinement back then, or even a more severe punishment, Zhunti would truly have no time to cry.

Therefore, Zhunti indicated that this blame must be shifted onto Tongtian.

"Dao Ancestor, it is all because of Junior Brother Tongtian. He descended with an avatar, wanting to use his power to bully the weak and deal with Fomen. That is why I appeared. Everything is because of Junior Brother Tongtian," Zhunti said with a mournful face.

As if he were the one most wronged in everything.

For Zhunti, this kind of thick-skinned acting had reached a state of perfection.

And the facts were indeed so; Zhunti was not exaggerating too much.

In front of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Zhunti would not dare to lie.

After all, as a part of the Heavenly Dao, it was truly too easy for Hongjun to calculate what happened here.

Even if a Saint could conceal the heavenly secrets, Zhunti understood that this was impossible when facing the Dao Ancestor before him.

So, laying out the facts directly was the best choice.

"Junior Brother Tongtian?" Tongtian frowned.

The two Western Saints were indeed thick-skinned. If one were to speak of it, they were merely the teacher's named disciples, and they came after him.

If they really wanted to address him, they should call him Senior Brother.

"Tongtian..." Dao Ancestor Hongjun's gaze shifted.

Hongjun had learned about that senior from Tongtian.

If one were to speak of it, he owed this disciple of his a great favor.

"Teacher, the disciple also came forward to stop them because the battle of Fomen here had a bad influence," Tongtian Jiaozhu replied.

"A bad influence here." Zhunti was stunned for a moment.

What bad influence could the battle on Mount Huaguo have?

Even with the previous battles of Guanyin and Rulai, they had not affected mortals too much.

How could it have a bad influence?

Regarding this, Zhunti sneered; his Junior Brother Tongtian could not even find a better excuse.

How could the teacher listen to this reason from Tongtian?

A bad influence? What a huge joke.

"A bad influence." Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at Tongtian, and he understood Tongtian's meaning from these words.

It meant that the senior was on Mount Huaguo, and Fomen choosing to fight here was indeed not good.

This was also the reason why Hongjun appeared today.

Of course, Hongjun also understood that Tongtian Jiaozhu and the Jie Sect disciples appearing here had to do with their incompatibility with the two Western Saints.

But this no longer mattered.

That senior was the most important thing.

"Zhunti, Tongtian does not know about the damage Saints cause to this world, but do you not know?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared at Zhunti and said slowly.

This response left Zhunti bewildered.

Originally, the fault should have been Tongtian's, as Tongtian also descended and violated the Dao Ancestor's previous instructions.

Why now did it seem like all the mistakes were his?

"I..." Zhunti opened his mouth, "Teacher, but Tongtian..."

"Tongtian, I will naturally take to Zixiao Palace. Now I am talking about you," Hongjun said in a deep voice, "Do you understand your mistake?"

"The disciple understands." Zhunti's mouth was full of bitterness.

This teacher of his seemed to be too biased toward Tongtian.

But who told him he was only a named disciple?

"If there is a next time." Hongjun's eyes radiated coldness.

And this coldness caused Zhunti's avatar to collapse, unable to withstand the pressure emitted by Hongjun.

"But Teacher, this Kalpa..." Zhunti hesitated, but chose to ask.

"Kalpa..." Hongjun's eyes radiated an inexplicable light, "Zhunti, in this Kalpa, you Saints will likely face disasters as well. Take care of yourselves."

With a senior of the Great Dao level present, what did it matter if the Journey to the West Kalpa was destroyed?

This was also the reason why Hongjun would say these words.

He knew that the gazes of his other disciples were also gathered here.

Even for Saints like the Three Pure Ones, whose true spirits were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, it would be easy for a Great Dao powerhouse to kill them.

After all, the Heavenly Dao was nothing in front of the Great Dao.

"Saints will also have disasters."

At this moment, not only Zhunti, but Saints like Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa, and Jieyin were also shocked in their hearts.

Originally, in their eyes, the Journey to the West Kalpa was just a very ordinary Kalpa, incomparable to the Investiture of the Gods.

But now, the Dao Ancestor said that even they, as Saints, could suffer a disaster.

What on earth had happened?

Did this world have some new crisis?

"Go." Seeing that Zhunti seemed to have other questions, Hongjun said faintly.

He had no intention of explaining why to Zhunti.

Even for the other Saint disciples, it was the same.

"Yes." Zhunti suppressed the doubts in his heart and prepared to take Rulai and the others away.

"Zhunti, let Chang Er stay," Tongtian said faintly.

"You..." Zhunti's expression turned cold. Was the Tongtian before him slapping his face?

"Your avatar now only has a little power left. Do you still want to fight me?" Tongtian said.

"Tongtian, the Teacher is here!" Zhunti took a deep breath. If Dao Ancestor Hongjun were not here, Zhunti would have acted directly.

But the Dao Ancestor had just stated that they, as Saints, could not act recklessly in the mortal world.

It was impossible for Zhunti to forget what the Dao Ancestor had just said.

"The Teacher only told us not to cause destruction to the mortal world. Killing you right now will not cause any destruction to this world at all," a smile appeared on the corner of Tongtian's mouth.

The endless Great Dao of the Sword surged and roared.
