Lingbao Tianzun: Tongtian, your junior sister Nuwa is looking for you, will you come back—

Duobao, upon hearing this, covered his forehead, utterly speechless towards this senior brother who had joined earlier than him. He truly lacked any sense of perception.

To actually dare speak disrespectfully to their Daoist sacred beast! He should know the sacred beast was the pinnacle of the Little Master's artifact refinement, and it had finally succeeded in transforming.

In the Primordial World, there were so many famous innate treasures or even chaos treasures, but had anyone ever heard of one transforming into a living being? Never.

Moreover, it could withstand the Little Master's violent beatings at any time.

The Little Master's body refinement power... was like being able to knead chaos iron like dough.

Black Dog, hearing this, was first stunned, then stood up, one hand in his pocket, and beckoned Zhao Gongming over with the other.

In an instant, Black Dog didn't turn around, casually blocking the attack from behind. A hint of satisfaction appeared on his face, and a touch of anticipation filled his eyes.

As expected, the Little Master's teachings were effective. He understood how to lure from the front, but had already begun to act, having snuck behind him.

"Interesting, oh? A fake... an outer shell made of beads?

Oh ho? Twenty-four of them..."

Duobao, seeing this from afar, put away his earlier complaints. This senior brother who had joined earlier was indeed not simple.

This kind of combat method was worth learning. Very steady, his true body hadn't even appeared.

He had cultivated an advanced version of the One Qi Transforming into Three Purities into twenty-four clones, using innate spiritual treasures as the foundation.

Moreover, he could stack the twenty-four clones into a formation, and even construct twenty-four minor worlds, directly using the laws of the minor worlds to deal with the sacred beast Black Dog.

The key was that if he were to join their fight, he would inevitably suffer serious injuries, yet they couldn't even damage this space in the slightest.

One could imagine how perverse the Little Master's law structure of this secret realm space was. They had been fighting for so long, and not even a ripple had been produced.

Just then, Li Er's voice interrupted Duobao's wild thoughts.

"Li Fatty, come over here. I have some new ideas about this Red Lotus Karmic Fire. I can fuse it with the Samadhi True Fire for you.

When you're refining artifacts, you'll have another boost."

Duobao's fleshy body trembled upon hearing this, and he cautiously asked, "Will the Little Master be in danger?

Can you combine it with that gray-blue flame you use for refining?"

Li Er was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your body refinement is too poor. The divine patterns on your body haven't formed a complete cycle and can't withstand that kind of flame.

You'll have to make do with the Samadhi True Fire and Red Lotus Karmic Fire for now.

Of course, I can give you a source of this flame, but it'll hurt a bit."

Duobao's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He didn't bother watching the two fighting in the distance and hurriedly ran to Li Er's side.

"Little Master, I'm not afraid of pain—I... ahhh—"

Duobao cried out before he could finish speaking.

Because he didn't know when Li Er had already planted the flame sources of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and Samadhi True Fire within him, burning wildly in his body.

At this moment, he also understood why Zhao Gongming had attacked Black Dog without hesitation. It was simply too painful, and the only way to suppress the surging cultivation within his body was through attacking to vent.

That's right, the flames began to burn within his body, promoting the improvement of his cultivation realm, constantly burning away the accumulation of pills he had swallowed recently, and sorting out the speed of the flow of mana within his body.

The key was that the sacred beast Black Dog had told him something: the Little Master didn't want their cultivation to improve too quickly, and demanded that they lay a solid foundation so they could go further on the path.

If they improved too quickly, they would be thrown out to train, and the one who had just returned had been thrown out to train.

Where could the speed of cultivation outside compare to that of cultivating here in the Daoist sect? So going out to train was their greatest punishment.

"Ah~ Senior Brother Black! I'm sorry—"

Duobao roared and directly joined the battlefield. Only in this way could he speed up the absorption of the flames.

Li Er saw that everyone was immersed in cultivation, and stroked his chin. If the flames couldn't help him improve, then should he research lightning techniques?

Would triggering a tribulation in advance allow his Golden Core cultivation to break through?

The Jie Sect's jade scrolls recorded the Upper Purity Divine Lightning, Jade Purity Divine Lightning, and Divine Firmament Divine Lightning. He would take advantage of the time to study them and see if he could comprehend the more advanced Purple Firmament Divine Lightning.

"Seems good. That is, to take all the Daoist techniques to the extreme and condense one's own laws.

Then one could construct a world, open up the heavens and earth within one's own body. Why bother cultivating a Golden Core at that point? This would be considered opening up a new path of cultivation.

Since this path is so difficult, why not take a new path?

Wouldn't that break the constraints of lifespan?" Li Er muttered to himself, his eyes shining with a light, a light of hope.

Thinking of this, he didn't stop at all, turned around, and went back to his cave to research.

And he didn't see Sect Master Tongtian in the distance, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom. He had heard what he had just said.

"Construct a world? Open up the heavens and earth within the body? Is this achieving sainthood internally? Is this what Li Er calls being self-sufficient in one's nature?

Could it be that Father God's path was wrong? Is seeking externally not as good as seeking internally?" Sect Master Tongtian muttered to himself, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Could this be transcendence?

"It's okay, I can observe Li Er's cultivation... after all, he is my one chance of survival—"

Outside the secret realm.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Grand Pure Saint, the two of them wrapped themselves in the Taiji Diagram, and outside the Taiji Diagram, they used the stacking methods they had learned, constantly layering concealment formations, using their power to hide themselves.

There was no other way; they were facing an extremely cautious opponent, and they had to be just as cautious.

Moreover, the two of them found that this kind of cautious behavior inexplicably gave them a kind of delightful feeling, as if they were a little addicted.

At this moment, they had been observing this place for a long time, and they had indeed discovered that there was an entrance here.

Moreover, this entrance was extremely difficult to find. If they hadn't used their status as Sages to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao and carefully observed, they wouldn't have seen it at all.

Because Black Dog had disappeared here.

However, they chose to observe quietly and did not choose to rush into the secret realm, because they were afraid that the secret realm would instantly break through the void and leave.

This was the answer they got from sharing their thoughts.

This secret realm could run away!

"Brother, are we just going to wait like this?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked, a hint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

To be honest, he really wanted to meet the person behind his Third Brother Tongtian. The structure of this secret realm entrance had benefited him greatly.

It was hard not to be curious.

"Wait, according to Third Brother's personality, he won't stay long. When the time comes, it will be our chance," Grand Pure Saint said calmly, sitting cross-legged.

He was completely prepared for a protracted war, and he began to comprehend the acquired formation stacking method and the advanced version of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities.

"Sigh, alright then. I don't believe he won't come out."

Golden Turtle Island – Biyou Palace.

Lingbao Tianzun looked at Nüwa opposite him, as well as Dijun and Taiyi behind her, in disbelief. How did his main body provoke them?

"Junior Sister Nüwa, what brings you here?" Lingbao Tianzun said calmly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

He had just hidden himself well, but who knew that Nüwa would come to visit him directly.

"Fellow Daoist Lingbao, is Senior Brother Tongtian here?" Nüwa said gently, a trace of helplessness in her eyes.

She didn't want to come at all. She was doing well in her Nüwa Palace outside the Chaos and didn't want to enter the Primordial World at all, after all, she had been tricked by the Heavenly Dao.

But these two from the Demon Race insisted on seeing her and requested her to introduce them to Sect Master Tongtian, saying that there had been a misunderstanding in the Western Sect last time and they wanted to personally apologize.

They said it was extremely important and would affect the life and death of the Demon Race.

As Nüwa, bearing the title of Sage of the Demon Race, it was really hard to refuse such a request.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is temporarily in seclusion. Fellow Daoist Nüwa, you can speak directly if you have something to say," Lingbao Tianzun said in a cold tone, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Good heavens!

I call you Junior Sister Nüwa, and you call me Fellow Daoist Lingbao? But you call Tongtian Senior Brother!

Are you looking down on me!

"Fellow Daoist Lingbao, this is to settle a karmic debt. Please inform Senior Brother Tongtian," Nüwa said gently, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Why was Lingbao Tianzun suddenly unhappy?

Lingbao Tianzun frowned and asked, suppressing his displeasure, "Fellow Daoist Nüwa, have you seen my Eldest Brother Grand Pure or Second Brother Yuanshi?

Please tell me the truth, or you won't see your Senior Brother Tongtian!"

Nüwa was stunned and said blankly, "I haven't seen them.

I came here because Dijun and Taiyi were previously in the Western Sect—"

Nüwa slowly explained her purpose, feeling that if she didn't explain the reason, she probably wouldn't be able to see Sect Master Tongtian.

Judging from Lingbao Tianzun's attitude, it seemed that the relationship between the Three Purities wasn't very good. Thinking of this, a hint of gossip flashed in Nüwa's eyes.

"That's for the best. If Fellow Daoist Nüwa is lying, and Sect Master Tongtian is caught by my two Eldest Brothers—

Forget it, wait a moment, I'll notify him." Lingbao Tianzun didn't continue speaking, but raised his hand and summoned a Merit Golden Body.

This!!!

Nüwa was shocked.

Dijun and Taiyi were also shocked.

They watched as Lingbao Tianzun directly crushed this Merit Golden Body, turning it into a divine rune that disappeared.

This was a Merit Golden Body!!! And you just crushed it like that? To condense a communication rune?

This!!!

Heavens!!

Was Lingbao Tianzun crazy!!!l

He crushed two more Merit Golden Bodies?? Just to condense communication runes?

Nüwa was silent.

Taiyi was silent.

Dijun wanted to say, give it to me!! This is a Merit Golden Body, not some trash!

Now, Nüwa finally understood why Lingbao Tianzun's attitude had been so poor. Contacting Tongtian required such a price—digesting three of his Merit Golden Bodies just to make the connection.

But where did this Lingbao Tianzun get so many Merit Golden Bodies?

Even more bizarre, before these Merit Golden Bodies shattered, they actually revealed a hint of relieved smiles, as if death was a good thing.

Just then, A voice filled with extreme dissatisfaction echoed in the hall.

"Lingbao! Have you gone mad? That's all you have left; are you trying to squander it all?"

Another Merit Golden Body walked in from outside. It looked like Sect Master Tongtian, his face full of heartache, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Yo~ Yo~ Tongtian, your junior sister Nüwa is looking for you. Come back for a bit~"
