Chapter 297

This was also the reason why Tongtian said those words just now.

Otherwise, regarding Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian indicated he wouldn't pay him any mind.

As for Laozi, it would depend on his Senior Brother's own opportunity, whether he could encounter the senior and the grocery store.

Like Nuwa and Sages Houtu.

These two had discovered the grocery store on their own and met that senior.

This was the opportunity that belonged to these two.

Whether his Senior Brother Laozi could have such an opportunity would depend entirely on himself.

"Senior Brother, congratulations on breaking away from the Heavenly Dao," Nuwa stepped forward and smiled.

The remaining three of them all knew about the grocery store, so they were much more relaxed when speaking.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Tongtian's performance just now was truly powerful," Sages Houtu also said with slight admiration.

The terrifying Hunyuan Daluo power Tongtian unleashed just now also made Sages Houtu feel shocked.

That was power sufficient to crush her.

"Haha, that is all the credit of the senior; without the senior, there would be no current me," Tongtian laughed, "Nuwa, Sages Houtu, I believe that in the future, you will also definitely be able to reach my level."

This was not Tongtian's confidence in Nuwa and the others, but his confidence in that senior of the grocery store.

"I am now preparing to head to the grocery store; what about you?" Tongtian said.

Now that he had broken away from the Heavenly Dao and survived the thunder tribulation, Tongtian indicated he wanted to share this matter with the senior.

By the way, he would exchange the heavenly treasures he had obtained from Senior Brother Laozi for points.

He would see if he could obtain other good things from the senior.

Tongtian, who was cultivating the Hunyuan Sword Scripture, indicated he wouldn't complain about having too many good things, not to mention that the treasures in his hand couldn't be exchanged for many points.

"Us." Nuwa and Sages Houtu looked at each other, "We have both just finished taking our own heavenly treasures and want to head to the senior's place."

"Oh, that's perfect; we can go together," Tongtian laughed.

"Good..." Nuwa and Sages Houtu nodded.

And just at this moment.

An inexplicable fluctuation permeated this firmament; this power carried incredibly vast Great Dao laws.

This was a Great Dao fluctuation similar to the Heavenly Dao power contained in the Eye of Judgment just now.

This power fluctuation.

For Nuwa, Sages Houtu, and Tongtian, it was very familiar.

That was precisely the power of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

As a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse, the strength Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself possessed naturally wouldn't be inferior to the existence of the Heavenly Dao.

Hongjun after merging with the Dao represented the Heavenly Dao to a certain extent.

Although the strength Tongtian unleashed just now was very terrifying and astonishing, compared to the strength Hongjun currently possessed, it was truly a minor matter.

That was a gap of two realms.

In the void, Hongjun, wearing a Daoist robe with white hair and beard, walked out slowly, his gaze examining Tongtian with a trace of a smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Greetings, Teacher." Nuwa and Tongtian hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor." Sages Houtu also bowed respectfully.

In this world today, the most powerful was Dao Ancestor Hongjun; this was indisputable.

For the respect of a powerhouse, Sages Houtu also had to bow.

In fact, for Nuwa and Sages Houtu, they were still somewhat uneasy in their hearts; had the Dao Ancestor heard what they said just now?

If he had heard it, what would the Dao Ancestor do?

Would he make them tell everything about the senior?

If so, would that terrifying senior be furious?

But if they didn't say it, facing the terrifying Dao Ancestor before them, they couldn't resist either.

At this moment, Nuwa and Sages Houtu's thoughts were in turmoil.

Tongtian didn't have such complex thoughts as Nuwa and the others; after all, he knew his Teacher had long known about the existence of the grocery store.

"Tongtian, congratulations on successfully breaking away from the Heavenly Dao and surviving the thunder tribulation," Hongjun said, "I was originally thinking about whether I should strike to help you; your performance was not bad."

"That is all thanks to Teacher's teaching," Tongtian flattered him.

"Haha, Tongtian, I cannot accept those words," Hongjun laughed, "That you can grow to this point is all because of the senior's credit; without the senior, there would be no current you; you must remember this."

"Tongtian understands," Tongtian nodded with a serious expression.

That he could have his current strength and current freedom was all because of the help of that senior and the opportunity the senior bestowed.

As for using heavenly treasures to exchange for points to obtain other treasures, that was the opportunity given to them.

Between the two, there was no such thing as equality.

On this point, whether it was Hongjun or Tongtian, they both understood.

They wouldn't think that it was all because of their own efforts that they had such gains.

If they thought that way, there would truly be something wrong with their brains.

This was also the thought in the hearts of many powerhouses who knew of the grocery store's existence.

"Senior..." On the other side, Sages Houtu and Nuwa were somewhat bewildered.

What did Dao Ancestor Hongjun mean by these words?

Could it be that that senior of the grocery store...

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Sages Houtu, Junior Sister Nuwa, you don't need to hide it," Tongtian laughed, "Teacher knew about the senior's existence even earlier than you."

"So that's how it is." Nuwa and Sages Houtu suddenly realized, and their hearts inexplicably felt relieved.

Standing before Dao Ancestor Hongjun with this secret just now had been a great pressure.

"Nuwa, Sages Houtu, with that senior's existence, you must also work hard," Hongjun smiled.

As soon as the words fell, Hongjun's figure faded into the void and disappeared.

"Tongtian, you really scared me just now," Sages Houtu said with lingering fear, "I thought our secret was going to be discovered by the Dao Ancestor and then we would be interrogated; I was already thinking about what excuse to use to cover up what I just said."

"Sages Houtu, wanting to lie before Teacher is not an easy thing," Tongtian laughed, "But fortunately, none of this happened."

"Then let's go see the senior," Nuwa said immediately.

"Haha, Junior Sister Nuwa, you are in a hurry," Tongtian laughed, and his figure turned into a sword light, speeding toward the direction of Mount Huaguo.

Nuwa and Sages Houtu didn't hesitate either and soon followed.

………………………………

Primordial World, a certain piece of heaven and earth.

"Senior Brother, why did we leave? Tongtian just finished his tribulation and must not have recovered his strength," Zhunti said.

Jieyin's behavior just now made it seem as if they were very afraid of Tongtian.

"Zhunti, even if Tongtian hasn't recovered his strength, do you think we can suppress the other party with our strength?" Jieyin said in a deep voice, "If we don't suppress Tongtian, how can we know the secret from the other party's mouth?"

"This..." Zhunti's eyes flickered.

Suppressing Tongtian—Zhunti thought of when he self-severed his true spirit and his realm dropped to Quasi-Saint; Tongtian could still unleash terrifying Hunyuan Daluo power.

Now, even if Tongtian was seriously injured, he didn't have the situation where his true spirit was destroyed by more than half like before.

This could be clearly felt from his aura.

"Moreover, even if Tongtian is truly not our opponent, do you think Laozi, Nuwa, and Sages Houtu will just watch?" Jieyin continued.

Listening to these words, Zhunti remained silent.

What his Senior Brother said was indeed very reasonable.

"Senior Brother, I know," Zhunti nodded, with a trace of unwillingness, "It's just that I'm not reconciled regarding the secret on Tongtian; if we could obtain the secret on the other party, perhaps completing the Heavenly Dao oath would be an easy thing."

"Secret." Jieyin's eyes carried light, "There will always be such an opportunity; it's just that while investigating this secret, we also cannot give up on the Kalpa Tribulation regarding the prosperity of Fomen."

"It is time to continue striking at Sun Wukong."

On the other side.

When Tongtian survived the Heavenly Dao thunder tribulation, the secular firmament also returned to normal calm.

This made many powerhouses and even mortals feel relieved; it seemed the world was still peaceful and no real doomsday had occurred.

As for how Tongtian Jiaozhu was.

No one knew.

Those Quasi-Saints also didn't know what had happened just now.

Grocery store.
