Chapter 16: Caught, Tongtian Takes a Disciple!

After several decades of contemplation, Duo Bao finally comprehended the profound mystery of the Tongbao Secret, and immediately began to collect this sky-covering, sun-blocking gourd vine.

Without the Tongbao Secret, given his cultivation, it would be difficult to shake this gourd vine that has already become sentient and given birth to spiritual intelligence.

Only Duo Bao, hidden in the darkness, unleashed countless profound dharma seals at that sky-covering, sun-blocking gourd vine.

And that gourd vine, at the instant Duo Bao unleashed the final dharma seal,

it trembled violently.

Immediately, in a blinding flash of light, it vanished completely.

At the same time, in Duo Bao's sea of consciousness, a petite and exquisite gourd vine, flashing with seven-colored radiance, hovered before his primordial spirit, floating and circling, appearing exceedingly obedient.

Duo Bao was overjoyed.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and looked ahead.

Hiss···

Feeling those towering pressures, Duo Bao only felt his scalp tingle, his entire body's mana stagnating, unable to muster the slightest bit.

Good heavens, have I, Duo Bao, fallen into a den of mighty beings?

Could it be that they are all here for the gourd vine? What should I do if they discover me? Although he is quite confident in the Chaos God-Demon remnant on his body.

But now, what he faces is the top-tier combat power of the Primordial World.

The Three Pure Ones, the leader of the Demon Race, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Nüwa, Zhenyuanzi···

Duo Bao hesitated not at all, turned and fled.

To avoid being discovered by the gods, he dared not stir even a trace of his mana, and soon vanished in a puff of smoke.

And at this moment.

Whether the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Taiyi, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, or the other mighty beings, all wore expressions of shock and deep suspicion.

No!! The gourd vine is gone? What's happening? The gourd vine that stretched for tens of thousands of li, covering the sky and blocking the sun, just vanished like that?

Under heaven, only … that one could do it? The gods couldn't help but look up toward the firmament.

But soon, Taishang Laojun shook his head.

"It definitely wasn't done by a sage!"

"Sages have no desires, how could they take a fancy to this seven-colored gourd? Even if they did, they wouldn't need to sneak; they could take it openly—who could stop them?"

Upon hearing this, the gods all felt it made sense.

But if it wasn't a sage, who could snatch the gourd vine from the grasp of so many heavenly mighty beings?

Di Jun, Taiyi, indignant.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, though they came to stir up trouble, also felt embarrassed.

The expressions on the Three Pure Ones' faces were even more embarrassingly awkward, then filled with righteous indignation.

That person's action undoubtedly was a provocation against the Three Pure Ones.

Under heaven, who dares to provoke them?

Seek death!! However, whether the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Taiyi, or other mighty beings, after searching the surrounding billions of li, still found nothing.

It seemed as if the gourd vine had vanished on its own, which was extremely strange.

"Not right!"

Suddenly, Tongtian Jiaozhu's tightly shut eyes flew open, and at the same moment a large hand reached out and lightly grasped the void.

The next second.

A figure appeared out of thin air before the gods.

Duo Bao was completely dumbfounded on the spot.

He had just been fleeing for his life, seeing that he was already tens of thousands of li away from the scene, he intended to ignite his escape light and flee completely.

However, the moment his form was exposed, he was sucked and dragged by a tremendous force.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"

Three "holy shits" exploded in Duo Bao's heart.

The Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Taiyi, the Ancestral Witches···

At this moment, seeing this familiar scene, Duo Bao wanted to cry but had no tears.

Faced with the mighty beings glaring like tigers, what should I do? Likewise shocked were Tongtian Jiaozhu and the other mighty beings.

"Golden Immortal?!" "Third brother, what's the matter with you, making a fuss over a mere Golden Immortal?"

Yuanshi Daoist felt bewildered.

With his ability, he instantly saw through Duo Bao.

"A Golden Immortal of decent talent—what's there to make a fuss about?"

"Could it be that he stole that gourd vine? How could that be?"

Taishang Laojun withdrew his wandering gaze from Duo Bao, shook his head, and remained silent.

"How could a Golden Immortal possibly steal that gourd vine right under their noses? Has third brother's brain gone rusty?"

Di Jun, Taiyi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches wore expressions of disdain.

"How could a Golden Immortal possibly steal that sky-covering, sun-blocking gourd vine under everyone's eyes? This Tongtian Jiaozhu is being overly serious, isn't he? In the distance, the gods saw this and were quite surprised."

"They never would have imagined that the esteemed Tongtian Jiaozhu, one of the Three Pure Ones, would be so serious about a mere little Golden Immortal."

"Could he steal the gourd vine? You're joking! However, if they knew that it was this little Golden Immortal before them who had taken the gourd vine, who knows what expression those proud heavenly mighty beings would have."

"Little friend, this seat, formed from Pangu's primordial spirit, Tongtian Daoist, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

"Yet, under the disdainful, surprised, and bewildered gazes of the mighty beings, Tongtian Jiaozhu actually directly accepted a disciple?"

Everyone was dumbstruck, their expressions as vivid as could be.

"This Tongtian Jiaozhu truly does not follow the ordinary path!!"

Supreme Purity's eyes flashed, and he involuntarily nodded.

He greatly agreed with Tongtian accepting Duobao as a disciple.

Duobao, being an exotic species of the Primordial Wilderness, has excellent aptitude and foundation; he is a promising seedling.

Yuanshi, however, disdained to even glance.

He has always been arrogant, and he most looks down upon those who wear fur and horns.

Although Duobao is an exotic species of the Primordial Wilderness with excellent aptitude, he is still difficult to gain his favor.

Those great powers of heaven and earth in the distance, after a moment of shock, all turned toward Duobao.

Duobao was also surprised.

He originally thought that Tongtian had captured him because he suspected that he himself had thrown the gourd vine.

Then he forced him to tell the truth.

But he seemed to have judged a gentleman with a petty person's heart.

This Tongtian actually developed the intention to take me as a disciple!!

It seems that in his previous life, Duobao was also taken in this way by Tongtian; Casio forged the prestige of the Jie Sect's chief, the foremost among the Three Teachings, and the leader of Buddhism.

But this life! Duobao took a deep look at Tongtian, inhaled deeply, straightened his body, and gave a fist salute to Tongtian.

"Thank you, Senior Tongtian, for your kindness to this junior; but this junior is used to being free and unrestrained and does not wish to take a master, so please do not take offense."

He actually refused? Everyone was filled with incomprehension and surprise.

"Little friend, do you know what you have missed?"

Hongyun stepped forward, looking at Duobao with great regret.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu; whether in background or status, he is the supreme existence in the Primordial Wilderness, yet you actually refuse?"

Tongtian also wore a look of surprise.

The reason he had the intention to take Duobao as a disciple is entirely because he shares a great affinity with this Duobao.

At the moment Duobao appeared, he immediately had this thought.

I originally thought that this little Golden Immortal would be overjoyed, even directly kneeling and addressing him as master.

After all, his identity and status are there.

In the entire Primordial Wilderness, countless beings have sharpened their heads, all wanting to take him as a master but cannot.

However.

This youngster actually directly refused?

"Little friend, do you really intend to refuse?"
