Chapter 300

"Not at all; Teacher just arrived at the senior's place a step ahead," Hongjun smiled and shook his head.

"Alright, you go ahead and exchange at the senior's place; Teacher will go inside and take a look first," Hongjun nodded to Wu Feng, "Senior, I will go first."

"Good, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you go take a look first," Wu Feng smiled.

As Hongjun entered the depths of the grocery store, Tongtian, Nuwa, Sages Houtu, and the others felt relieved.

Before this Teacher of theirs, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Tongtian and Nuwa still felt immense pressure; as for Sages Houtu, she indicated she was just a small transparent figure.

Or perhaps back then, as Ancestral Witches, they held the Dao Ancestor in contempt.

But in these years, having experienced much, Sages Houtu also understood the principle that the strong are respected.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was one of the most powerful in this world; even without this senior of the grocery store, the Dao Ancestor would be the number one in the Primordial.

Facing this number one in the Primordial, Sages Houtu indicated she still had to have the due respect.

"Tongtian, it seems you succeeded." Wu Feng's gaze stared at Tongtian; from Tongtian's aura, Wu Feng could feel it was different from the past.

Although the current Wu Feng, in terms of true strength, was only a Daluo Jinxian.

But because he was in the grocery store, Wu Feng could clearly perceive the situation of those who came.

Otherwise, how could he be called invincible?

The current Tongtian's connection with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World had disappeared; he was now a completely independent individual, a true Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

On the contrary, Nuwa and Sages Houtu beside Tongtian could still feel the faint connection with the Heavenly Dao within them.

"Yes, Senior, I just wanted to tell you the good news," Tongtian grinned, "Not long ago, I self-severed my true spirit and finally broke away from the Heavenly Dao; now I feel a great ease and freedom I have never felt before."

"This is all because of you, Senior, that I, Tongtian, have the present; please accept a bow from Tongtian." Saying this, Tongtian knelt down.

Facing this moment, Wu Feng didn't stop him, but waited for Tongtian to stand up again; after all, it was Tongtian's sincere gratitude, and he didn't need to refuse the other party too much.

After all, Wu Feng also knew that in the eyes of these powerhouses, he was likely a big shot.

Regarding this, Wu Feng didn't provide any explanation.

Should he say his strength was weaker than theirs, only a Daluo Jinxian?

If he said that, truly no one would believe it.

On one hand, it was because in the grocery store, Wu Feng's strength was invincible; even Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not Wu Feng's opponent.

On the other hand, it was the various treasures in the grocery store; there were treasures useful to Hunyuan Daluo, and treasures useful to Heavenly Dao and even Great Dao-level powerhouses.

With these things, how could he be just a Daluo Jinxian?

So, Wu Feng indicated that the misunderstandings of Tongtian, Hongjun, and others would just be that.

As long as he constantly improved his strength and truly reached the Great Dao level, then the misunderstanding wouldn't be a misunderstanding.

"Tongtian, although you obtained some treasures from me, being able to succeed is still very important to yourself," Wu Feng smiled slightly, "Otherwise, if it were another Saint, perhaps failure would be inevitable."

"Senior, slashing my own true spirit was truly dangerous," Tongtian said repeatedly, "I had enough preparation, and my strength and realm dropped to Quasi-Saint; if it were other Saints, I fear maintaining Daluo strength would already be remarkable."

"Of course, because of your treasures, Senior, my strength recovered quickly, but facing the Heavenly Dao thunder tribulation was still extremely terrifying; in the end, even the Heavenly Dao's Eye of Judgment appeared."

"I almost didn't get to see you, Senior."

Speaking of this, Tongtian still had lingering fear; if his strength improvement hadn't been up to par, and his preparation hadn't been sufficient.

He might not have survived the thunder tribulation, and in that case, there would be no Tongtian in this world.

Being killed by the Heavenly Dao—that kind of death was thorough.

"Haha, Tongtian, but at least you succeeded; among many Saints, you have become a pioneer," Wu Feng said, "If anyone else wants to break away from the Heavenly Dao in the future, having you as a reference might make it easier."

"Hmm." Tongtian nodded.

Nuwa and Sages Houtu beside him had flickering eyes.

In the past, they hadn't thought about breaking away from the Heavenly Dao, but seeing Tongtian's behavior, they naturally had inexplicable fluctuations in their hearts.

Perhaps they also needed to break away from the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, seeing Tongtian's tragic tribulation, Nuwa and Sages Houtu understood even more that sufficient preparation was a must.

Watching Tongtian undergo the tribulation was truly heart-stopping.

If one were not careful, one could truly fall under the Heavenly Dao thunder tribulation.

If it were them, it would be fundamentally impossible to reach Tongtian's level.

So, currently, this was just a very faint idea.

For Tongtian.

At first, as a Heavenly Dao Saint and Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, he himself had no thoughts of breaking away from the Heavenly Dao.

On one hand, merging with the Heavenly Dao didn't seem to have much impact on them, and it also gave them the ability of immortality.

On the other hand, they also understood what kind of tribulation they would need to face if they wanted to break away from the Heavenly Dao.

Even if they couldn't know completely, they could still infer the degree of danger.

It was precisely because of this.

Many Saints had never thought about breaking away from the Heavenly Dao and self-severing their true spirits from the Heavenly Dao.

If Tongtian hadn't had the previous Great Dao of the Sword, the Hunyuan Sword Scripture, and the Hunyuan Creation Pill that recovered his injuries.

He fundamentally couldn't have achieved this success.

It could even be said that even with these three things, if Tongtian hadn't studied the Hunyuan Sword Scripture to a certain degree, he couldn't have unleashed the Myriad Heavens God-Demon Slash, a move capable of contending with the Light of Judgment.

Without the Hunyuan Creation Pill, once the Myriad Heavens God-Demon Slash came out, before he could even strike, he would likely have been devoured by the power of the myriad heavens' gods and demons.

But regardless of how many coincidences there were, Tongtian had truly succeeded.

"Senior, this time I not only came to tell you the good news of my successful break from the Heavenly Dao, but I also brought some treasures," Tongtian smiled, "These are heavenly treasures I took from Senior Brother Laozi."

While speaking, a brilliant light appeared, and countless heavenly treasures fell before Wu Feng.

Because of the countless small mountains of treasures Hongjun had taken out before, Wu Feng indicated he was very calm looking at the heavenly treasures Tongtian took out.

Compared to Hongjun before, the treasures Tongtian took out were truly a minor matter.

"Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones." Wu Feng said, "Tongtian, if Laozi discovers the grocery store, I wonder if he will feel heartache."

Before discovering the grocery store.

Like Hongjun, he didn't take most magic treasures to heart; after merging with the Dao and becoming a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse, those magic treasures had no use.

He even gave away Innate Treasures back then.

But after knowing of the grocery store's existence, Hongjun had only one thought in his heart: regret.

But what was the use of regret?

He couldn't take these treasures back from his disciples like Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian for no reason.

As a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse, he couldn't bring himself to do that.

Of course, this was also because Hongjun discovered that the Long, Feng, and Qilin tribes still had many treasures.

Otherwise, whether Hongjun would be dark-hearted enough to harvest these disciples and loot them clean was hard to say.

"I believe Senior Brother Laozi understands; after all, those heavenly treasures before had no use to him," Tongtian said.

"Alright, then let me see how much these treasures of yours are worth," Wu Feng waved his hand, and a light fell on these treasures before him.

Subsequently, these treasures instantly disappeared.

"A total of 200,000 points," Wu Feng said under Tongtian's expectation.

"200,000, that's not bad." Tongtian felt relieved.

Although it couldn't compare to what he obtained from Yuanshi Tianzun before, it wasn't much worse.

It seemed Senior Brother Laozi had indeed taken out many treasures.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, Fellow Daoist Sages Houtu, I will go inside and take a look first," Tongtian said to Nuwa and Sages Houtu, then walked into the grocery store.

This time, Tongtian also had to find treasures useful to him.

His first choice was still something to recover his injuries; he didn't want to leave any underlying illness from his confrontation with the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, this time the elixir didn't need to be as good as the Hunyuan Creation Pill; otherwise, if such an elixir were gone, the remaining points would be reduced by a large portion.

"Senior, these are mine." Nuwa didn't hesitate and stepped forward, taking out all the treasures she possessed at once.

And this Saint Nuwa's treasures were not bad, exchanging for a total of 500,000 points.

This was of greater value than Tongtian's back then.

It could only be said that because she had no disciples, the treasures Nuwa possessed in the past hadn't been distributed, which made her accumulation much greater than Tongtian's.

After all, as the head of the Jie Sect, Tongtian had four direct disciples, not to mention many disciples below.

The treasures of the Sanxiao were all bestowed by Tongtian.

"Sages Houtu, I will go first," Nuwa said goodbye to Wu Feng, signaled to Sages Houtu, and also walked into the shelf area.

"Senior, these are mine." Sages Houtu took a deep breath.

A light flashed, and many treasures fell to the ground.
