Dijun and Taiyi's Concerns. Lingbao Tianzun: Learn, Must Learn.

Nüwa fell silent again.

Lingbao Tianzun had vanished as soon as he finished speaking. Even she, a Sage, hadn't noticed how he disappeared, as if he hadn't been there at all.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Tongtian."

"Greetings, Junior Sister Nüwa. May I ask what brings you here?" Sect Master Tongtian's Merit Golden Body asked, puzzled. He didn't seem to have any karma with this junior sister whom Hongjun was wary of.

Before this, he had chatted with Li Er about the Sages of the Primordial World, asking Li Er to evaluate them.

Li Er's evaluation of Nüwa was: Absolutely untouchable, a figure to be kept far away from.

Reason: The absolute king of finding loopholes.

Li Er had also explained what "finding loopholes" meant and that they should all learn from Nüwa in that regard.

Nüwa frowned, a hint of displeasure in her eyes. She said faintly, "Senior Brother Tongtian, are you that busy?"

Sect Master Tongtian's Merit Golden Body was taken aback, then showed a hint of apology. "Junior Sister Nüwa, please wait a moment. This is just a wisp of my Primordial Spirit. I'll inform my main body immediately."

Bang!

Nüwa: ...

Eastern Emperor Taiyi: ...

Dijun was thinking, "Give it to me!!" Merit Golden Bodies aren't used like that! Another one shattered!!

Does your family wholesale Merit Golden Bodies?

At this moment, Dijun's eyes were red. This was such a waste!

A secret realm in Mount Buzhou.

Sect Master Tongtian slowly opened his eyes, a hint of doubt in them. What had happened on Golden Turtle Island that warranted three urgent commands from Lingbao?

Three commands were one thing, but even the clone he had left there was sending back information.

Tongtian glanced at the situation of the others in the secret realm and, finding nothing amiss, muttered to himself, "Since it's not coercion from my elder brothers, it wouldn't hurt to go back and take a look.

In any case, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and Chaos Flame are completely under control now. I'll have Lingbao learn the Red Lotus Karmic Fire too, for added defense.

Without a Sage's seat in the future, there's no need to worry about karmic debt."

Then, he walked out of the secret realm and disappeared into the void.

Outside the secret realm.

The Grand Pure Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun exchanged glances, a hint of joy in their eyes. Their third brother had finally left.

"Big brother, shall we go in and take a look now?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked curiously, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

"Still not possible. Look, there's a mark at the entrance of the secret realm. If we touch it, the secret realm will disappear immediately.

Besides, our third brother will be back soon," the Grand Pure Saint said seriously, his face unusually solemn, his eyes flashing with the Taiji Diagram, constantly deducing.

In fact, his curiosity about this secret realm was no less than Yuanshi Tianzun's. Through the constant comprehension of the two techniques he had obtained and observing the entrance to the secret realm, he could clearly feel that this person's caution was beyond reason, beyond imagination.

"Keep waiting? What if that person doesn't come out?" Yuanshi Tianzun said gloomily, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Just then, the Black Dog emerged from the secret realm, its nose twitching constantly, its ears shaking, looking like it was searching for something.

Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Pure Saint were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, trying their best to hide.

The Black Dog searched for a full hour, then stood up, its front paws touching its chin, a look of doubt in its eyes, muttering to itself.

"Something's not right. I feel like someone's been spying nearby, but why can't I find them?

Am I just being paranoid?

Or did I get too excited when I was beating people up earlier, and it's just an illusion?"

Woof—woof!

Suddenly, the Black Dog barked at its surroundings a few times, a special wave sweeping across the entire area. Its eyes turned golden-red, and it looked around constantly as it barked.

It searched for another full hour.

"Looks like I was just being paranoid," the Black Dog said seriously, a glint in its eyes.

It turned and disappeared.

Yuanshi Tianzun's face was gloomy. That Black Dog was really a dog. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have been discovered for sure.

"Big brother~"

"Shh~ don't speak, the Black Dog is still here," the Grand Pure Saint quickly transmitted, a hint of interest in his eyes.

This Black Dog had something going on. It was actually hiding in the void. If his Supreme Emotionless Scripture hadn't sensed a fluctuation of emotion, he definitely wouldn't have noticed its existence.

The key was that he found the Black Dog's aura a bit familiar, similar to the aura of Duobao Cliff, an existence capable of bearing a certain amount of luck.

No wonder Zhunti had wanted to capture the Black Dog back then. It was an excellent guardian beast.

Yuanshi Tianzun was speechless.

Three hours.

The Black Dog emerged from the void with a solemn expression, his eyes cold. He was certain he hadn't sensed wrong; they were definitely being watched.

It was just that this person's methods were particularly clever, evading his search.

"No, I can't be wrong. We have to move quickly. We'll leave as soon as the Old Master returns."

Immediately afterward, the Black Dog turned and disappeared, along with the traces of the secret realm, and the entrance vanished as well.

Yuanshi Tianzun: ...

Grand Pure Saint: ...

"Brother, do you think they might have already moved?"

Golden Turtle Island—Biyou Palace.

Sect Master Tongtian strolled in from outside. In truth, he had returned a while ago. He first used the defensive array where his Merit Golden Body was located to check things over, and only after discovering that his eldest brother wasn't here did he enter Biyou Palace.

"Nüwa, Junior Sister, I won't pursue this little matter with those two, out of respect for you." Sect Master Tongtian said calmly, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

Would Nüwa come all this way for such a small matter?

Absolutely not!

Li Er's words rang in his ears. Nüwa was an extremely dangerous person; avoid contact if possible, lest she take an interest in you.

Upon hearing this, Goddess Nüwa frowned. What did Sect Master Tongtian mean? Why did he seem to be afraid of her?

Did she look that scary?

"Then I thank you, Senior Brother. However, those two wish to speak with you alone. Would that be convenient?"

Goddess Nüwa conveyed Dijun and Taiyi's request, considering it a completed mission.

"A small matter, a small matter. Then I'll trouble Junior Sister to wait a moment and have some tea."

After Sect Master Tongtian spoke, he gestured for Dijun and Taiyi to follow him. Since they were going to talk, they should talk properly. After all, Golden Crow Sixth was indeed in his hands.

Soon, Sect Master Tongtian led the two to a side hall, raised his hand to activate an array to prevent eavesdropping, and said plainly, "Speak your minds."

"Sect Master Tongtian, this is a gift to your sect for my nephew to become your disciple."

Sect Master Tongtian: ???

"It is his good fortune to be able to join your sect," Eastern Emperor Taiyi continued, his eyes full of sincerity.

Sect Master Tongtian looked at the Chaos Bell floating before him and fell silent.

Was this apprenticeship gift a little…

"Make yourselves clear. This item is not so easy to take. You are using it to exchange for my protection.

Truly a good calculation," Sect Master Tongtian said in a cold tone, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

"Sect Master Tongtian, we indeed wish for your protection, but that is unrealistic.

We want you to protect a portion of the Demon Race, so that our Golden Crow lineage does not become extinct.

We two led the Demon Race to defeat the Heavenly Court created by Hongjun, establishing the Demon Court, and have already sown the seeds of disaster.

We disrupted the Heavenly Dao's plan, and in the end, we must repay it…" Dijun said earnestly, his eyes full of sincerity, his tone filled with sighs.

An unexpected expression appeared on Sect Master Tongtian's face. This Dijun actually had such awareness, able to foresee future events.

From his conversations with Li Er, and from his deductions based on the Heavenly Dao, the Demon Race would eventually be defeated. He, Tongtian, also knew who was behind it all.

Or was it that the calamity hadn't yet risen, so they were unaffected and could see some things?

"Why not choose her? She is clearly more suitable than I am," Sect Master Tongtian said calmly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, his tone still cold.

"The first thing that happens upon becoming a saint is being banished to the outer Chaos…" Eastern Emperor Taiyi didn't finish his sentence, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Sect Master Tongtian was silent for a while. Faced with the temptation of the Chaos Bell, he found it difficult to refuse. He said seriously, "I accept this karma.

In the future, I can take action once for you, to protect you.

Also, would you like to see Golden Crow Sixth?"

Dijun said earnestly, "We will trouble Sect Master Tongtian to teach Lao Liu. Furthermore, in the future, do not take action for us.

Because by then, it will not be worth it…"

Sect Master Tongtian put away the Chaos Bell and handed over a jade slip. This was a basic version of the array stacking technique, as well as a bottle of enhanced Explosion Pills.

"Learn the arrays on this. It can improve your Zhou Tian Star Array. This bottle of Nine Revolution Golden Pills can allow you to temporarily recover your strength."

"Thank you, Saint."

Soon.

The three of them came out.

Goddess Nüwa saw Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and her face clearly showed joy. It seemed the matter was resolved.

"Nüwa, Junior Sister, thank you for waiting so long and making this trip. These elixirs are for you to have as snacks…"

Dijun: ...

Dijun's eyes instantly turned red. Thousands of bottles of elixir as snacks? Feeling the auras emanating from them, they were clearly at the Nine Revolution Golden Pill level.

Nüwa was also stunned.

How could Senior Brother Tongtian be so generous? Did he empty out his elder brothers' homes?

No wonder Lingbao Tianzun asked if he had seen Grand Pure Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun. So it was because of this spendthrift...

"No merit, no reward... I..."

Sect Master Tongtian directly added a few hundred more bottles, and even opened one, took out a Passion Pill, and said seriously, "Junior Sister, this is an elixir I refined.

It can stir up emotions and is suitable for comprehending the good and evil selves.

However, you can only take one at a time. Too much is a bit... difficult to control the medicinal effects."

Nüwa looked at the elixir, which was perfectly integrated and flowing with a special charm. It was clearly a top-grade elixir.

"Then thank you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother Tongtian, come visit my Nüwa Palace when you have time." Nüwa accepted the elixir without being polite, clearly knowing that the other party wanted to settle the karma of today. It seemed that the matter between them was significant.

"If I have time, I will definitely go," Sect Master Tongtian said politely, muttering in his heart, I will never have time.

"Sect Master Tongtian, I wonder about this elixir..." Dijun asked cautiously, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"If you want it, you can have it, but you have to provide the materials. Forget it, I'll give you some to try. You can bring resources to Jie Sect to exchange for them later." Sect Master Tongtian waved his hand and threw a few hundred bottles to the two of them, with every type of elixir included.

The main thing was to be generous. After all, you have to put in the effort to attract the fish.

Sect Master Tongtian thought to himself, going to fleece his elder brothers every day wasn't a long-term solution. Wouldn't it be better to have the Demon Race find materials for him?

After all, the disciples of Jie Sect were currently too weak, and they could easily die if they traveled the Primordial World.

"Thank you, Sect Master Tongtian."

After that, the group exchanged pleasantries, and Nüwa left with Dijun and Taiyi.

Sect Master Tongtian watched Jie Sect for a while and found that everything was operating normally. He added some elixirs to the Contribution Hall and updated some cultivation methods to the Scripture Pavilion.

"Lingbao, come out. What's the point of hiding from me?

I've comprehended a divine ability. Do you want to learn it?" Sect Master Tongtian said, puzzled, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Lingbao Tianzun, in a hidden place on Golden Turtle Island, curled his lips and said with a look of disdain, "Only dogs would learn it..."

"Red Lotus Karmic Fire and Chaos Flame, do you want to learn them?"

"Learn, I must learn!"
