Battle of the Saints: Tongtian vs. Yuanshi / I Really Don't Want the Primordial Violet Qi!

"Very well!"

Tongtian Cult Master nodded and swept his sleeve, storing away Old Ancestor Hongyun's soul.

"Tongtian, come out! Hand over the Primordial Violet Qi!"

At that moment, a thunderous roar rang out.

Tongtian Cult Master raised a brow and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, I knew some blind fool would come to Golden Ao Island looking for trouble!"

As he spoke, Tongtian Cult Master rose to his feet and took a single step, arriving outside Golden Ao Island.

At that moment, Primordial Heavenly Venerate floated in midair, glaring furiously at Tongtian Cult Master. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Tongtian, hand over the Primordial Violet Qi!"

Earlier, Primordial Heavenly Venerate had been wandering the Great Void with his divine sense. Moreover, Jieyin and Zhunti had concealed the heavenly secrets, so Primordial Heavenly Venerate had known nothing of the Demon Race's siege of Old Ancestor Hongyun.

Only after the matter had occurred, when Guangchengzi and the others reported it to Primordial Heavenly Venerate, did he learn what had happened.

When Primordial Heavenly Venerate learned that Tongtian Cult Master had rescued Old Ancestor Hongyun and seized the Primordial Violet Qi, he could no longer remain seated.

The teachings and ideals of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect were completely opposed. The Jie Sect preached instruction without discrimination, while the Chan Sect valued only the elite. Thus, a battle between the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect was inevitable in the future.

Tongtian Cult Master alone was already enough to give the Chan Sect a headache!

Now that Tongtian Cult Master had seized the Primordial Violet Qi, if the Jie Sect produced another Saint, how could that possibly be tolerated?

Thus, Primordial Heavenly Venerate could no longer sit still. Without caring about the other Saints, he rushed anxiously to Golden Ao Island...

A Battle Between Saints: Tongtian vs. Yuanshi

Tongtian Cult Master looked at Primordial Heavenly Venerate with a teasing expression and curled his lips. "Second Senior Brother, has water gotten into your brain? Old Ancestor Hongyun gave that Primordial Violet Qi to this humble Taoist. What does it have to do with you? What are you barking about here?"

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's old face twitched violently with rage. Gritting his teeth, he stared at Tongtian Cult Master and said in a deep voice, "Tongtian, the Primordial Violet Qi concerns matters of great importance. How can it simply be given away with a word? You should hand it over so that we can discuss how to deal with it!"

On Golden Ao Island, the Immortals of the Jie Sect cried out in shock.

It seemed that Tongtian Cult Master had snatched Old Ancestor Hongyun's Primordial Violet Qi. How could they not be excited?

Daoist Duobao in particular had his eyes blaze with divine light.

After all, he was the Jie Sect's foremost senior disciple. If Tongtian Cult Master were to bestow the Primordial Violet Qi, he was undoubtedly the best and most suitable candidate!

After enduring in silence for so many years, was I finally about to receive my reward?

Daoist Duobao forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, yet he did not notice at all.

On the other side, Tongtian Cult Master looked disdainfully at Primordial Heavenly Venerate and curled his lips. "Second Senior Brother, do you take this humble Taoist for a fool, or are you the fool? You actually said something like that? You want the Primordial Violet Qi? Fine! But first, you must take a trip through this humble Taoist's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!"

As he spoke, Tongtian Cult Master flicked his hand and tossed something out.

The Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram flew forth, directly covering half the sky. Sword qi soared into the heavens, and sword intent alone shattered the Primordial Stars in the void one after another.

Immediately afterward, four immortal swords flew out and hung from the southeastern, southwestern, northeastern, and northwestern corners of the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.

The four immortal swords trembled continuously, producing countless strands of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi!

In an instant, dense masses of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi filled the space beneath the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, making everyone's scalps tingle.

On Golden Ao Island, Li Xiao watched with a secret grimace.

Teacher really has such a stubborn temper. At the slightest disagreement, he sets up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. The Jie Sect has no treasure to suppress its fortune. Though the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation can suppress fortune, every use reduces it once. This can't go on...

At that moment, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts.

Yunxiao raised a brow and turned to glance at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao had no idea why Yunxiao was looking at him. He grinned at her, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.

Yunxiao froze, her pretty face flushing slightly. She hurriedly lifted her head and looked toward the sky.

In midair, Tongtian Cult Master stepped into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Holding the Qingping Sword, he glared at Primordial Heavenly Venerate and said in a deep voice, "Second Senior Brother, since you want the Primordial Violet Qi, do you have the courage to take a stroll through this humble Taoist's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?"

Tongtian Cult Master was clearly killing the chicken to frighten the monkeys. Only by throwing a punch could he ward off a hundred more.

With matters having developed to this point, if Primordial Heavenly Venerate still refused to enter the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, how could he ever show his face again?

"Hmph, Tongtian, don't be so arrogant. You rely on the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and think yourself invincible beneath the heavens. Today, this humble Taoist will make you lose face!"

Primordial Heavenly Venerate snorted coldly and took a step forward, entering the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Yet standing outside the sword formation and standing within it were two completely different experiences.

Seeing the dense mass of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi hanging overhead, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's eyes twitched fiercely. He already somewhat regretted entering the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

But in his current situation, how could he retreat?

Primordial Heavenly Venerate hurriedly slapped his forehead, and the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud appeared behind his head. Within it, a primordial world flickered into view, while golden pearls, golden lamps, golden lotuses, and jeweled pendants hung chaotically outside like rain dripping from eaves. Profound Light poured down without end, protecting Primordial Heavenly Venerate's entire body.

Originally, the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud had been Dao Ancestor Hongjun's treasure!

However, Primordial Heavenly Venerate felt that his offense was more than sufficient while his defense was lacking. So, following Jieyin and Zhunti's example, he went to the Purple Heavens Palace to weep and complain, forcibly obtaining the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud from Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Good, good, Yuanshi. Since you wish to taste the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, this humble Taoist shall grant your wish!"

Tongtian Cult Master snorted coldly and pointed the Qingping Sword in his hand at Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

The next moment, countless terrifying strands of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi surged toward Primordial Heavenly Venerate like a swarm of locusts, blotting out the sky and earth.

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

The sword qi surged wildly, accompanied by countless horrifying sword cries that made everyone's scalps tingle.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's pupils constricted sharply. He suddenly shouted and frantically activated the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Terrifying Immortal Slaying Sword Qi slammed madly into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, making it tremble violently. Countless golden lamps, golden lotuses, golden pearls, and jeweled pendants were sliced away.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate was secretly alarmed. Enduring immense pressure, he flipped his hand and produced a small banner—the Pangu Banner.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate seized the Pangu Banner and shook it fiercely.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Countless streams of Chaos Sword Qi howled forth, surging toward the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

Although the Chaos Sword Qi fired by the Pangu Banner could offset the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, there were simply too many strands of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi. Primordial Heavenly Venerate's arm had gone numb from shaking the banner, yet it was only a drop in the bucket and utterly useless.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Immortal Slaying Sword Qi continuously crashed into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, battering it until it swayed on the verge of collapse.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate knew that he would not be able to hold out if this continued. He hurriedly leaped into the air and escaped the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Tongtian Cult Master did not pursue him. Instead, holding the Qingping Sword, he looked at Primordial Heavenly Venerate and laughed loudly. "Second Senior Brother, what do you think of this humble Taoist's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation? Hahahaha..."

"Hmph, Tongtian, you..."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's old face turned livid with rage. He turned and shot Tongtian Cult Master a vicious glare before fleeing into the void and returning to Mount Kunlun.

Tongtian Cult Master sneered and swept his blazing gaze across the void.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate had been driven away by him, so the Saints of All Heavens had not descended!

Had he suffered defeat this time, the Saints of All Heavens would likely have descended immediately to seize the Primordial Violet Qi.

Tongtian Cult Master swept his sleeve, withdrew the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, then turned and took one step back onto Golden Ao Island.

Teacher got the Primordial Violet Qi, which means that fellow Hongyun is dead. But Hongyun must have died with grievances. On the surface, the Demon Race did kill him, but in truth, the Two Sages of the West deliberately concealed the heavenly secrets to settle the Karma of yielding their seats, preventing Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi from going to rescue him. That was what led to Old Ancestor Hongyun's fall. How tragic, how tragic...

At that moment, Yunxiao once again heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts.

Yunxiao turned her head and looked at Li Xiao again with a bewildered expression.

Seeing Yunxiao look at him again, Li Xiao was also stunned. Then he grinned once more, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.

Next, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts again.

Why does Sister Yunxiao keep looking at me? Could it be because I'm handsome? Has Sister Yunxiao fallen for me? Should I take this chance to push Sister Yunxiao down? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sister Yunxiao's figure, that face... just thinking about it is exciting...

I Really Don't Want the Primordial Violet Qi

Yunxiao's pretty face flushed crimson as she heard this. She could not help widening her almond eyes and glaring viciously at Li Xiao.

Eh? She's glaring at me? What does that mean? Is she playing with me? That expression, that little look... damn, it's soul-stirring...

Yunxiao was speechless from hearing this. She rolled her eyes wildly and could not be bothered with Li Xiao.

On the other side, all the Immortals of the Jie Sect stared eagerly at Tongtian Cult Master, especially the personal disciples Daoist Duobao, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Holy Mother Wudang, and Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

They all hoped that Tongtian Cult Master would bestow the Primordial Violet Qi upon them!

But without question, Daoist Duobao had the greatest chance.

Only Li Xiao looked utterly unconcerned, wearing the air of a rogue.

Tongtian Cult Master looked at everyone and said calmly, "You all know that this humble Taoist has obtained the Primordial Violet Qi. Now, this humble Taoist shall bestow it upon one of you!"

Daoist Duobao's eyes immediately lit up. He was just short of stepping forward to offer his thanks.

At that moment, Tongtian Cult Master looked toward Li Xiao and said with a smiling expression, "My disciple Li Xiao, this humble Taoist shall bestow this Primordial Violet Qi upon you. In the future, I hope you cultivate diligently and strive to attain the Great Dao of Hunyuan as soon as possible!"

Everyone present was stunned!

The smile on Daoist Duobao's face froze as he looked at Tongtian Cult Master in disbelief. He could not understand why Tongtian Cult Master had bestowed the Primordial Violet Qi upon Li Xiao, a disciple whose cultivation was only at the True Immortal realm.

He was the Jie Sect's chief disciple, and he had even severed one of the three corpses, becoming a mighty quasi-Saint!

He led the Jie Sect on a daily basis and had rendered tremendous service to it!

Shouldn't Tongtian Cult Master have bestowed the Primordial Violet Qi upon him? How could he give it to Li Xiao instead?

If Tongtian Cult Master had bestowed the Primordial Violet Qi upon Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Holy Mother Wudang, or Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, Daoist Duobao would not have been this angry. Yet Tongtian Cult Master had chosen to give the Primordial Violet Qi to Li Xiao.

This left Daoist Duobao feeling extremely unbalanced!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

In an instant, the gazes of all the Immortals of the Jie Sect turned in unison toward Li Xiao, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Everyone knew that the Primordial Violet Qi was the foundation for becoming a Saint. With the Primordial Violet Qi, Li Xiao might become a Saint in the future. How could they not envy, resent, and hate him?

Among those present, Yunxiao was likely the only one who understood Tongtian Cult Master's intentions!
