Chapter 436
As the Lord of the Jie Sect, the Saint Tongtian possessed quite a lot of human fortune.
Human fortune is an extremely precious thing for Saints.
The six Saints of the Primordial World all attained the Dao through merit and fortune.
Merit and fortune represent the amount of authority over the Heavenly Dao.
In other words, merit and fortune are related to the strength of a Saint.
Humans are the protagonists of all spirits, and the fortune they occupy is extremely terrifying; even if it is only one percent, it is a very huge resource.
The Saint Tongtian's Jie Sect is one of the three sects and naturally occupies a portion of the fortune of civilizing the humans.
Even if the Jie Sect has declined now, this fortune still exists.
And this fortune is not as little as one percent.
Although in the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods, a large number of the Jie Sect's disciples were plundered by Fomen,
the fortune provided by these disciples added together could not compare to one-ten-thousandth of the human fortune.
"Is that the only condition of senior brother Tongtian?"
The Saint Jieyin looked at the Saint Tongtian, confirming uncertainly, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
The Saint Jieyin could understand the Saint Tongtian's request.
Among the six Saints, only the Saint Tongtian had the most uninhibited personality and did things without regard for the consequences.
Only the Saint Tongtian could propose such an unequal condition.
However, from the Saint Tongtian's condition, it could also be seen that he still brooded over the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods and had not let go at all.
This meant that the Saint Tongtian and the two Saints Jieyin and Zhunti would sooner or later have to have a showdown.
Regarding this, the Saint Jieyin and the Saint Zhunti had long anticipated it.
Among the six Saints, the two Western Saints were the most proficient in grasping the human heart; they had long since figured out the Saint Tongtian's personality.
However, they did not fear the Saint Tongtian. They might have been wary before, but now they didn't even have wariness.
Previously, the Saint Tongtian had the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array in hand, and his combat power was the strongest among the Saints.
Even if the Saint Jieyin and the Saint Zhunti joined forces, they could not break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array. Therefore, they were wary of the Saint Tongtian.
Now, the Saint Tongtian no longer had the Immortal-Slaying Sword Map.
Because of the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods, the Saint Tongtian had also fallen out with the Saints.
With the Saint Tongtian as a lone individual, two against one, the Saint Jieyin and the Saint Zhunti were confident that they could definitely steadily suppress the Saint Tongtian.
"Yes, I have only one condition; for the remaining conditions, you can talk to little friend Luo Fu."
The Saint Tongtian nodded, his plain tone carrying a trace of impatience.
Having just left the Zixiao Palace, he actually did not want to see the two Western Saints.
If not for Luo Fu's proposal being truly interesting, the Saint Tongtian would not have intervened.
"Little friend Luo Fu, leave the following matters to you; I will wait for you here."
The Saint Tongtian's voice sounded in Luo Fu's mind, and at the same time, he transmitted an address to Luo Fu.
Luo Fu looked at the Saint Tongtian, his eyes moving slightly, signaling that he understood.
After transmitting to Luo Fu and agreeing on the address, the Saint Tongtian looked at the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and suddenly said:
"You continue talking; I am leaving first. However, before leaving, let me collect some interest first."
Swish!
As soon as his voice fell, the Saint Tongtian suddenly raised his right hand, using his hand as a sword, and slashed lightly toward the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.
To be precise, it should be that he slashed a sword toward the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls beside the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.
A sword light filled with the power to destroy all things flew out from the Saint Tongtian's hand and, with lightning speed, slashed toward the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.
No one expected that the Saint Tongtian would suddenly take action. Even the Saint Zhunti and the Saint Jieyin could not take action to stop it in time.
What was here was ultimately only the phantoms of the Saint Zhunti and the Saint Jieyin, not their true bodies.
By the time everyone reacted, the sword light slashed by the Saint Tongtian had already reached the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.
However, what made the Saint Zhunti and the Saint Jieyin breathe a slight sigh of relief was that the sword light did not slash toward the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.
It did not even slash toward the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, but slashed into the void between the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.
Moreover, this sword light separated into twenty-four, and a sword light appeared beside each Sea-Calming Pearl.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A series of faint snapping sounds rang out, but no one knew what exactly had snapped.
Just when everyone was still guessing what the Saint Tongtian wanted to do, a roar suddenly erupted from the Ancient Buddha Dipankara's mouth.
"My twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls!"
Luo Fu, the Saint Zhunti, and the Saint Jieyin all looked at the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.
The Ancient Buddha Dipankara, who had retreated to the side and remained silent after the Saint Tongtian appeared, now, for some reason, had become extremely pale, and his aura had become extremely withered, as if his primordial spirit had been severely injured.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After slashing the sword light, the Saint Tongtian followed closely, waving his sleeve to shroud the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.
The Ancient Buddha Dipankara's roar had just been issued when the sleeve waved by the Saint Tongtian had already shrouded the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.
The twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls offered no resistance, allowing the Saint Tongtian to collect them into his sleeve.
Swish!
Having done all this, the Saint Tongtian did not talk nonsense, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from where he was.
Luo Fu, the Saint Zhunti, and the Saint Jieyin then reacted that the interest the Saint Tongtian spoke of referred to the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.
The sword light that seemed to have hit nothing just now was actually aimed at the connection between the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.
