Tongtian Cult Master looked at Ancestor Minghe and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Minghe, the Human Book concerns the Primordial World, and it is not something you can meddle with. You should go back and tend to your injuries!"

Although Ancestor Minghe was extremely unwilling, he was powerless against a Saint like Tongtian Cult Master.

Helplessly, Ancestor Minghe could only sigh, cupped his hands to Tongtian Cult Master, and then quietly slipped into the Sea of Blood to recuperate.

"If you're brave enough, don't leave. Come out, and we'll fight another three hundred rounds!"

Li Xiao pointed at the Sea of Blood and shouted.

In the Sea of Blood, Ancestor Minghe gnashed his teeth in anger, but what could he do?

Who told him that the other party was a direct disciple of Sage Tongtian? Even if he were given a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Li Xiao!

I'll endure, I'll endure... Ancestor Minghe took a deep breath, calming his inner rage.

Shameless... Houtu, standing nearby, glanced at Li Xiao again, despising him in her heart. After a moment's hesitation, she cupped her hands to Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Thank you, Saint, for saving me!"

Just now, if Tongtian Cult Master hadn't appeared, Houtu would have been in real danger!

Above this Sea of Blood, Ancestor Minghe's combat power was indeed extraordinary!

Sage Tongtian nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, don't mention it. It's just a small matter!"

Houtu grinned, glanced at the end of the Sea of Blood, and cupped her hands to Tongtian Cult Master, "Sage Tongtian, I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"

With that, Houtu was about to depart.

Tongtian Cult Master was slightly taken aback. He looked at Houtu and asked, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, are you heading to the depths of the Underworld?"

Houtu was startled and nodded, "That's right. I sense something calling me from the depths of the Underworld..."

Li Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to speak.

Tongtian Cult Master frowned, looked at Houtu, and said, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, forgive this humble Taoist for speaking frankly, but this is not the best time to go to the depths of the Underworld. If you go now, I fear..."

Although Tongtian Cult Master's words were not finished, the meaning was clear.

Ancestral Witch Houtu was stunned and frowned slightly, "Saint, what do you mean?"

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, what this humble Taoist says is good advice. You must heed it, otherwise, you will fall into a place of eternal damnation!" Tongtian Cult Master said with a solemn expression.

Beside them, Li Xiao listened, dumbfounded, and thought to himself, What's going on? Why is Teacher stopping Houtu from entering the Underworld to establish Reincarnation? Could it be that Teacher has divined something?

Houtu turned her head, looked deeply at the Underworld, then turned back to Tongtian Cult Master, cupped her hands, and said, "Thank you for your words, Saint. I understand! I just don't know when the right time will be?"

Tongtian Cult Master hesitated for a moment, looked at Houtu, and said, "Very well, given that we are both travelers in the mortal world from Purple Heaven Palace, this humble Taoist will help you further. As for when the time will come, this humble Taoist will have Li Xiao notify you!"

"Me?"

Li Xiao's old face twitched fiercely.

Houtu glanced at Li Xiao, cupped her hands to Tongtian Cult Master, "Since that is the case, then thank you, Sage Tongtian!"

Tongtian Cult Master nodded, looked at Li Xiao, waved his large sleeve, swept Li Xiao up, and returned to Biyou Palace.

Houtu looked back deeply at the depths of the Underworld, suppressed the urge in her heart, turned, and transformed into a stream of light, returning to the Witch Clan.

After Tongtian Cult Master brought Li Xiao back to Golden Ao Island, Li Xiao bid farewell to Tongtian Cult Master and returned to Penglai Immortal Island.

As for the other two immortal islands, although they were also Li Xiao's dojos, Li Xiao did not frequent them.

One day, Li Xiao was basking in the sun, contemplating how to deceive the Heavenly Dao and establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Just then, several streams of light shot over.

The streams of light dissipated, revealing four figures – Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters.

"Fifth Senior Brother, I've come to find you for a drink..." Zhao Gongming said, carrying two jars of wine, laughing heartily.

However, as he walked up to Li Xiao, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, and he exclaimed, "Fifth Senior Brother, you... you've broken through again?"

"En, I accidentally broke through to the mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm while I was sleeping earlier!" Li Xiao said nonchalantly.

Pfft...

He broke through just by sleeping?

And he did it accidentally?

This was truly a case of comparing people to death.

Zhao Gongming's heart suffered ten thousand points of damage. He exhaled deeply and said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother Li Xiao, come, let's drink three hundred jars of fine wine today..."

"Come, drink!"

Li Xiao had something on his mind and was feeling troubled, so he also pulled Zhao Gongming to drink.

After a few rounds of drinks and dishes!

Zhao Gongming was already slumped on the table, fast asleep.

Only Li Xiao was left drinking alone, lost in his thoughts.

How can I deceive the Heavenly Dao? I'm afraid I'll have to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but how difficult is it to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

"I heard that the Heavenly Origin Sect has a Jade Void Artifact Refining Manual. If I could get my hands on it and master its refining techniques, I might actually be able to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Li Xiao was drinking his sorrows away, while Yunxiao, once again, heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts.

"Jade Void Artifact Refining Manual? Create the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Yunxiao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, her heart stirring.

Sipping his wine one mouthful at a time, Li Xiao soon fell asleep.

Yunxiao looked at Qiongxiao and Bixiao and said, "Sisters, I need to go to Golden Ao Island for something. You two watch our Senior Brothers!"

"Sister, please go ahead!"

Qiongxiao replied.

Yunxiao immediately got up, transforming into a stream of light, and headed towards Golden Ao Island.

Upon arriving at Golden Ao Island and entering Biyou Palace, she met the Tongtian Cult Master. Yunxiao cupped her hands and said, "Disciple Yunxiao greets you, Teacher!"

The Tongtian Cult Master waved his large sleeve, setting up numerous restrictions. He looked at Yunxiao and eagerly asked, "Yunxiao, have you heard anything useful again?"

Yunxiao cupped her hands towards the Tongtian Cult Master and said, "I did hear something, it's..."

"It's what? Oh my, Yunxiao, hurry up and tell me! Are you trying to drive your master to death? In this Primordial World, what could possibly stump me? Tell me quickly!"

The Tongtian Cult Master, being a typical impatient person, urged her on.

Teacher, perhaps don't speak so boldly, you might regret it later... Yunxiao took a deep breath, looked at the Tongtian Cult Master, and cupped her hands, "Teacher, your disciple heard Senior Brother Li Xiao's inner thoughts. He said... he said he wants to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation..."

"What? Create the Six Paths of Reincarnation? This..."

The Tongtian Cult Master's old face twitched violently. He widened his eyes, looking at Yunxiao with disbelief, and pouted, "That brat, he really dares to think big. How can the Six Paths of Reincarnation be created?"

Yunxiao's eyes twitched fiercely, and she said with a wry smile, "We... we need to get the Heavenly Origin Sect's Jade Void Artifact Refining Manual first..."

Pfft... Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Cult Master nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. His old face turned red, and he remained silent for a long time.

Li Xiao's idea was quite good, but the execution was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

It was well known throughout the Primordial World that the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect were at odds. For the Tongtian Cult Master to obtain the Jade Void Artifact Refining Manual from Primordial Heavenly Venerate would likely be as difficult as climbing to heaven...

Chapter 50: Provoking Immortal Elder Nanji and Yunzhongzi

The Tongtian Cult Master was helpless, but Li Xiao had left Three Immortal Island and was trying to see if there were any opportunities to obtain the Jade Void Artifact Refining Manual.

Within the Heavenly Origin Sect, besides Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Yunzhongzi was the most skilled in artifact refining.

Yunzhongzi had almost replicated every treasure in the Primordial World, earning him the title of the "Great Master of Imitation" in the Primordial World.

Therefore, Li Xiao's target was clear: Yunzhongzi on Zhongnan Mountain.

Li Xiao did not delay along the way, traveling by cloud.

Upon reaching Zhongnan Mountain, he saw that it stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, its vastness immeasurable. Its divine peaks pierced the sky, and clouds and mist swirled, with faint rays of light and auspicious energy emanating, clearly indicating a rare immortal mountain and great river.

Faint sounds of the Dao could be heard from within the mountain.

Although the sounds were weak, they were genuine profound Xuanmen cultivation techniques.

"Huh? Someone is preaching the Dao here?"

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and followed the sounds of the Dao, traveling by cloud.

After a short while, he arrived at a place on an immortal mountain. He saw two people sitting cross-legged, playing chess and discussing the Dao.

These two were none other than Yunzhongzi and Immortal Elder Nanji.

Below them were three spirit monsters: a tiger demon, a deer demon, and a sheep demon.

"Immortal Elder Nanji and Yunzhongzi are quite friendly towards demons..."

Li Xiao inwardly grinned.

Because Primordial Heavenly Venerate disliked demons with scales, shells, or those born from eggs and wetness, the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect rarely accepted demonic beings.

However, Immortal Elder Nanji and Yunzhongzi were exceptions. Immortal Elder Nanji had two disciples: his mount, the immortal deer, and the White Crane Boy. Both of them were demonic beings.

The White Crane Boy even served Primordial Heavenly Venerate for a long time.

As for Yunzhongzi, he appeared to be quite carefree.

Otherwise, he would have already driven away the tiger demon, deer demon, and sheep demon!

"Huh? Tiger demon, deer demon, and sheep demon? Could they be the three spirit monsters from Chechi Kingdom? Great Immortal Huli, Great Immortal Luli, and Great Immortal Yangli?"

Li Xiao was startled, thinking of the three demons who later sought Buddhist scriptures by challenging them.

Those three demons possessed the ability to summon rain, wind, and thunder, clearly using genuine Xuanmen techniques. He hadn't expected them to have learned their divine abilities from Yunzhongzi and Immortal Elder Nanji.

This point surprised Li Xiao somewhat.

On a large bluestone, Immortal Elder Nanji and Yunzhongzi were still playing chess, seemingly unaware of anyone else.

Finally, Yunzhongzi won a move, defeating Immortal Elder Nanji.

"First Senior Brother, you are too kind. Thank you, thank you, hahaha..."
