Unless he invoked his elder brother Tongtian's name, it would be difficult to attract many disciples.

If they truly publicized it as Yuanshi intended, and only a few disciples showed up, wouldn't it become a laughingstock in the Primordial World?

Yuanshi was stunned and said no more.

Mount Sumeru.

"Brother, the Intercepting Sect has taken all the good seedlings. How can the West prosper?" Zhunti complained with a worried look.

If he could defeat Tongtian, he would have already taken those with excellent aptitude into his sect.

He was particularly covetous of Kong Xuan, Wudang, Guiling, and Golden Spirit Holy Mother.

"No need to rush. Someone is more anxious than us.

Watching the situation unfold is the best strategy for now." Jieyin smiled slightly, his words carrying hidden meaning.

Zhunti was taken aback and couldn't quite grasp it for a moment.

However, seeing Jieyin's meaningful smile, he quickly understood.

Purple Mansion.

"Everyone, you've all witnessed the generous gifts sent by the Intercepting Sect this time. They are truly abundant."

"Since that's the case, why don't we consider establishing our own halls and altars?" East King Duke sat at the head seat, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

Before, he had merely thought the method was good but hadn't harbored great ambitions.

But now, having personally seen tens of thousands of Acquired Spiritual Treasures, hundreds of Innate Spiritual Treasures, and countless spiritual roots, rare flowers, and exotic plants, how could he not be tempted?

If the Purple Mansion could operate in a similar manner, its strength would surely increase by one or two tenths!

Perhaps even three tenths wasn't an impossible dream!

"Absolutely not!" An elder stood up to object.

"Why?" East King Duke frowned and pressed.

"The Intercepting Sect is currently at its peak. Within a thousand years, its prestige will surely spread throughout the Primordial World."

"If you establish your halls and altars now, how much of a stir do you think you can create in the public opinion?"

"It's better to wait a thousand years. Once the Intercepting Sect's momentum wanes a bit, it won't be too late to make plans."

Under the gaze of many, the elder swallowed and slowly stated his opinion.

After listening, everyone pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, East King Duke could only reluctantly agree.

"Fine, this matter will be postponed for another thousand years."

Just as various forces were secretly maneuvering and stirring, the entire Primordial World was already abuzz with the grand occasion of the Intercepting Sect accepting disciples.

From the congratulatory gifts sent by various great powers and factions to the personal appearance of the Dao Ancestor's attendant, every description was vivid and meticulous.

Especially the tens of thousands of cultivators who came to be tested incessantly, which propelled the Intercepting Sect to the throne of the foremost sect in the Primordial World.

There were even rumors that the spiritual energy on the Three Immortal Islands was extremely dense, and joining the Intercepting Sect made the path of cultivation incredibly smooth.

In an instant, the title of "Cultivation Holy Land" spread like wildfire.

What was most astonishing was that as soon as this title emerged, it was widely recognized.

This invisibly motivated countless beings to strive in their cultivation, just for the chance to participate in the Intercepting Sect's next grand disciple-acceptance ceremony.

At this time, Tongtian was unaware of the various rumors outside.

After finishing his lecture, he took a break from preaching.

Seeing that the cultivation of his many disciples had progressed, he returned to Biyou Palace with great satisfaction.

Only then did he have the leisure to check the system interface.

His heart was filled with anticipation, eager to know what rewards this disciple recruitment would bring.

[Congratulations to the Host. A total of 1,209,600 disciples have been accepted. The rewards are as follows.]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Chaos Supreme TreasureChaos Bead.]

[Congratulations to the Host for achieving perfection in Array Dao, Creation Great Dao, and Deduction Dao.]

[Congratulations to the Host for achieving perfection in Five Elements Great Dao and Yin Yang Dao.]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Great Dao-level innate divine ability—My Words Are Truth.]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100,000 Innate Spiritual Treasures of Supreme, High, and Low grades, and 1,000,000 portions of materials for alchemy and artifact refining.]

A series of system prompts sounded, making Tongtian overjoyed.

Over a hundred thousand Innate Spiritual Treasures? Is this for real?

I doubt the entire Primordial World combined could even gather that many!

It's enough for thirty-three thousand disciples to sever their three corpses and establish the foundation of the Great Dao!

And this is just a portion of it, not to mention the million sets of refining materials!

If all these resources were refined, along with the treasure trove resources obtained from the Demon Race, Their power would be unimaginable!

If this news were to spread, many powerful beings would likely fight to the death, joining forces to seize them!

Furthermore, the completion of those ten Great Daos also greatly excited him.

Adding the previously mastered Dao of the Sword, he now had eleven perfected Great Daos!

Even facing an encirclement by the Three Thousand Worldly Travelers, he was confident he could suppress them one by one!

After all, in the entire Primordial World, besides Hongjun, There was likely no one else who could truly and completely master a complete Great Dao.

And he alone controlled a full eleven of them!

This wasn't a simple superposition, but a terrifying power of integration and layered stacking!

But what moved him the most was the innate divine ability – "My Words Are Truth."

Even at the introductory stage, its potential was immense.

Once fully mastered, he could simply open his mouth and manifest a wish within one realm out of thin air.

Golden Mouth Jade Words and Silent Zen were nothing compared to it.

Even Saints, within the Heavenly Dao, could only achieve limited omnipotence.

But this divine ability of his operated within the Great Dao; whatever he thought, whatever he desired, could become reality!

The terrifying nature of this ability needed no further explanation.

If his strength was sufficient, he could even utter treasures like the Pangu Axe or the Jade Plate of Creation into existence.

He couldn't help but grin, his gaze falling upon the evolving Spiritual Treasure – the Sect Master's Seal.

The next moment, his eyes sharpened.

Because the grade of the Sect Master's Seal had now advanced to "Innate Supreme Treasure · Perfect"!

It was only one step away from transforming into a Low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Tongtian couldn't help but gasp.

The system is outrageously powerful!

He looked up at the golden dragon of destiny circling in the void, and with a thought, three Spiritual Treasures materialized.

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Tongtian, the Sect Master of the Intercepting Sect, now use the Innate Supreme Treasure Sect Master's Seal, the Twenty-Four Petaled Green Lotus of Creation, and the Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to suppress the destiny of my Intercepting Sect. Let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

BOOM!

The Heavenly Dao responded, sending down a bolt of lightning.

"Suppressing destiny with three Supreme Treasures together... such a display is probably unique in the entire Primordial World."

A slight smile played on his lips as Tongtian murmured to himself.

Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself would likely be stunned speechless by such a lavish act.

Having resolved the issue of destiny, Tongtian immediately took out the Chaos Bead and examined it carefully.

To be honest, he hadn't held much hope of finding this bead at first.

This was the fundamental reason he had lingered at Buzhou Mountain and refused to leave until the seventh gourd matured.

He had intended to use the Chaos Gourd as a substitute for the Chaos Bead, following the path of Attaining Dao Through Strength.

Now that the system had rewarded him with the Chaos Bead, he naturally wouldn't abandon the genuine article for a substitute.

Since it was a system reward, there were no restrictions, and no need for refinement.

After a brief familiarization, Tongtian opened his status interface.

Host: Tongtian Cultivation Method: Primordial Supreme Merit Foundation: Mid-grade Chaos Godfiend Realm: Quasi-Saint Mid-stage Laws: Array Dao Perfected, Sword Dao Perfected, Five Elements Perfected, Yin Yang Perfected, Creation Perfected, Deduction Perfected. Two thousand nine hundred and eighty-nine laws yet to be comprehended. Innate Divine Ability: My Words Are Truth Treasures: Chaos Supreme Treasure Chaos Bead, Evolving Treasure Sect Master's Seal, Innate Supreme Treasure Sect Master's Edict, Innate Supreme Treasure God-Slaying Spear, Innate Supreme Treasure Twenty-Four Petaled Green Lotus of Creation, Houtian Treasure of Merit Primordial Measure-Heaven Ruler, Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Universe Cauldron...

"Now that I have the Chaos Bead, it's time to consolidate the cultivation of my disciples and help me achieve Dao."

He muttered to himself, then Tongtian closed the panel and sent two beams of immortal light into the sky.

Before long, Nuwa and Fuxi hurried over.

"May we ask why the Sect Master summoned us?"

Hearing this, Tongtian waved his hand, and the space before them was instantly piled high with Spiritual Treasures and materials for refining artifacts and alchemy.

"You two pick two Spiritual Treasures each to sever your corpses. The rest will go into the Treasure Pavilion."

"Oh, and give this Universe Cauldron to the elders of the Artifact Refining Hall."

Staring at the mountain-like pile of treasures before them, Fuxi and Nuwa were dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

Fortunately, Biyou Palace had a function to conceal its aura. Otherwise, the mere treasure light filling the air would have been enough to attract countless covetous eyes.

"You're even willing to give out the Universe Cauldron?"

Nuwa, having recovered her senses, was full of surprise.

Putting aside the Universe Cauldron's miraculous effect of transforming acquired items into innate ones, its rank as a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure alone was enough to spark countless conflicts.

"Afraid they'll hoard it?" Tongtian chuckled and asked back.

With his mastery of the Great Dao of deduction, who would dare harbor ill intentions?

Even if someone dared to hoard it, where could they possibly escape to?

Besides, the main function of the Universe Cauldron was to convert acquired Spiritual Treasures.

With so many materials here, was he expected to refine them all himself?

As the master of a sect, he only needed to grasp the general direction. The rest of the trivial matters would naturally be handled by others.

It also allowed the disciples in the sect to gain more experience, preventing treasures from being buried and forgotten.

Hearing this, Nuwa fell silent.

That's right, who would dare to make a move under his watchful eye?

Wouldn't they be tired of living!

Especially a treasure of the Universe Cauldron's caliber, even the most audacious would not dare to touch it lightly!

What's more, this was a gift from the Dao Ancestor.

If they weren't afraid of Tongtian, would they dare to not be afraid of Hongjun?

"With this batch of Spiritual Treasures and materials, my Intercepting Sect will surely usher in unprecedented prosperity!" Fuxi's voice trembled with excitement.

The joy on his face was almost impossible to conceal.

As for the composure expected of a Quasi-Saint?

It had long been thrown to the winds.

Such good fortune, what composure or lack thereof, it was all meaningless!

"I've said all that needs to be said."

"I will be going into seclusion next. The affairs of the sect will be your responsibility."

Seeing Fuxi's excited demeanor, Tongtian couldn't help but roll his eyes and get down to business.
