The Grand Pure Saint smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said calmly, "Li Er, tell my Third Brother about what's so good about our tea ceremony.
My Third Brother only likes the sword, how would he understand the subtleties of the tea ceremony?"
Li Er: ???
Li Er still looked bewildered, as if he had entered a strange loop, becoming the target of their boasting?
Seriously, are you two this childish?
At this moment, the people who were originally planning to watch the show instantly disappeared.
After all, not everyone can casually eat melons, especially those of Saints.
Sect Master Tongtian kept his arm around Li Er's shoulder without saying a word, a smug look on his face, as if saying, "It's useless no matter what you say.
You can tell from my relationship with Li Er."
Just then, The Black Dog poked his head out of the void, a jade slip in his mouth. Seeing where Sect Master Tongtian was, he came to Sect Master Tongtian with a flattering expression and gave him the jade slip.
"Great Master, I really didn't say anything about your matter. The things here—
You'll understand after you read it." The Black Dog said with utmost seriousness, a hint of suppressed excitement flashing in his eyes.
The images inside this jade slip recorded the process of their discussion that day, and a portion recorded the embarrassing moments of the Grand Pure Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun during the introductory assessment.
Ever since Li Er enlightened him that time, telling him to leave evidence of everything, he had secretly recorded images of key moments at all times.
Of course, some of the images were edited—
Moreover, he kept these jade slips outside the secret realm's small world for safekeeping, because it wouldn't be safe to keep them inside, the Little Master would discover them.
Before Sect Master Tongtian took Kong Xuan out to transcend the tribulation, he gave the Black Dog a sword, and the Black Dog immediately thought of shifting the conflict outward, so he would be safe.
Sect Master Tongtian's primordial spirit took one look at the images inside, and his face immediately lit up.
He immediately let go of Li Er's shoulder, reached out and stroked the Black Dog's head, and said gently, "Good dog, good dog... remember to give me the complete version."
"That—Great Master isn't angry anymore?" The Black Dog said softly, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and then he took out another jade slip from his pocket and handed it to Sect Master Tongtian.
This recorded the Grand Pure Saint's embarrassing appearance in the formation, especially the mind-testing level—he was bewitched by a woman.
Seeing this, the Grand Pure Saint frowned, a bad feeling creeping up on him, as if his Third Brother had grasped something significant about him.
"Go on, go play.
Li Er, this is the Extreme Ice Flame."
Sect Master Tongtian handed Li Er a blue flame, revealing a smug look towards the Grand Pure Saint.
"Third Brother Pan, let's talk about the matter of being targeted.
See when Second Brother Pan returns, and the three of you can find him to resolve this matter." Li Er reached out and took the Extreme Ice Flame, saying seriously.
After all, the feeling of being targeted was very bad, and according to the strength of the karmic thread, the opponent was also a Quasi-Sage at the peak.
"I can handle it myself, no need for the two Eldest Brothers to take action." Sect Master Tongtian said confidently, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The other him hadn't returned for over a hundred years, he had to show off.
"Hehe—haven't you learned the Daoist scripture of stability?" The Grand Pure Saint said coldly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
To be able to break through the karmic thread of this secret realm's small world, apart from Saint-level experts, ordinary peak Quasi-Sages really couldn't break through here.
It was definitely not the karmic thread of Second Brother and Nüwa, so the remaining ones were the two from the Western Sect, because if those guys from the Chaos Demon God forbidden zone appeared, the first to react the most would be the Heavenly Dao.
"I used three years for the introductory assessment..."
Grand Pure Saint: …
Western Sect—Mount Sumeru.
The Receiving Saint's face was no longer bitter, but flushed red, his eyes emitting a red light, and the fluctuations of his qi and blood affected the stability of the space.
He finally knew the power of the thing inside him, it completely ignited his primordial yang, and the ultimate reproductive ability of his life was detonated, this was not an energy that could be suppressed by cultivation realm.
Because this thing was essentially a beneficial force of law, and he himself needed such a force of law.
This was the most terrifying force of law.
If he couldn't resolve this force of law in a safe and correct way, he would eventually be burned by the instinctive desires of his body, and everything in his body would become fuel for this flame.
Even if he was a Saint, he would lose his Dao and mana, and the origin of his physical body.
The Zhunti Saint whispered beside him, "Senior Brother, hurry in—this is just a little draining afterward."
Looking at the space inside, there were as many as two thousand Rakshasa women—
The Receiving Saint looked at the Zhunti Saint and instructed seriously, "Junior Brother, during the time I'm in seclusion to resolve the poison, open the defensive formation first."
"I respectfully obey Senior Brother's teachings."
The Receiving Saint walked into the space, and then sealed the entire space, after all, it was better to keep this kind of thing hidden.
The Zhunti Saint turned around and went out to seal the entire Mount Sumeru.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, a hint of struggle in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Should I still cultivate my Dao of Affinity?"
"Not cultivating means missing out on good opportunities. Cultivating means running into Tongtian despite great opportunities."
Yuxu Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the inscription in his hand, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, as it contained the existence of a small world.
This also verified what he had learned from Li Er in the past hundred years.
"Where would be a good place to set it up?
The east side of Mount Buzhou is far from the Witch Race's Witch God Hall, to avoid them causing trouble." Yuanshi Tianzun quickly decided where to place it, after all, this matter was an opportunity for his Chan Sect.
Li Er was right, cultivation requires resources, and the resources of the Primordial World will become increasingly scarce in the future, because every great battle is destroying the Primordial World.
Some spiritual medicines and spirit stones will disappear with the destruction. The Primordial World is vast, but it cannot withstand such consumption.
When you have money, you should think about how to live when you don't.
"Take those three fellows with me, and when things are done, I'll take them to Taoism for further study. It's time to introduce them to our Chan Sect's little master." Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand and directly pulled the three to his side, imbuing each of them with a piece of information in their primordial spirit.
Tearing through the void, he took the three and walked in.
Mount Buzhou - East side.
A towering pillar, supporting the spine of heaven and earth.
Yuanshi Tianzun, along with Jade Cauldron True Man, Taiyi True Man, and Yellow Dragon Daoist, walked out of the void passage.
Yuanshi Tianzun slightly raised his hand, and a cyan stone tablet flew out from his sleeve.
The stone tablet emitted a faint light, and mysterious runes appeared and disappeared. Once it landed, it firmly took root in the ground, merging with this world, exuding a solemn aura.
Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was solemn, and he slowly opened his mouth, his voice like a great bell, resounding in all directions:
"Our Chan Sect, takes it as its mission to expound the great Dao of heaven and earth. Over the years, we have deeply felt and comprehended the Dao of trade.
The Dao of trade is a bridge for the exchange of goods between Primordial beings, which can promote the circulation of various needed materials, and make up for each other's shortcomings. It is truly a wonderful method to benefit the Primordial World."
In an instant, the Heavenly Dao sensed it, and the Eye of the Heavenly Dao slowly appeared in this void, with lotus flowers blooming in the void.
Yuanshi Tianzun's voice continued to spread throughout the Primordial World.
"Today, I establish the first trading market in the Primordial World here on the east side of Mount Buzhou.
This place will become a sacred place for free trade for Primordial beings. Whether it is an immortal with great supernatural powers or a being with newly opened spiritual wisdom, all can trade fairly here.
When trading, be honest with everyone, without deception. All transactions seek only fairness, justice, and integrity.
With the Great Dao as a mirror, and the Heavenly Dao as a rope.
The trading market is established!"
After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun formed a hand seal, and a dazzling immortal light rose into the sky, piercing through the clouds, as if announcing this grand event to the entire Primordial World.
In an instant, the world changed color, and the wind and clouds surged, as if the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao both felt something, and descended auspicious omens. Colorful rays of light fell, illuminating this trading market like a dream.
Two portions of Heavenly Dao merit instantly descended, one rushing towards Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other rushing towards the stone tablet of the trading market.
Yuanshi Tianzun directly threw that Heavenly Dao merit into the stone tablet.
A portion of Great Dao merit descended, divided into two, with 70% directly rushing towards Yuanshi Tianzun, and 30% breaking through the air and leaving.
Yuanshi Tianzun once again threw that Great Dao merit into the stone tablet.
In an instant, those three portions of merit flew back and directly drilled into the stone tablet of the trading market.
This stone tablet instantly became a top-grade acquired merit treasure.
Jade Cauldron True Man, Taiyi True Man, and Yellow Dragon Daoist stood respectfully to the side, watching all of this happen, and endless excitement surged in their hearts, because this trading market was an industry of their Chan Sect.
They deeply knew that this move would surely bring new prosperity to the Primordial World.
When they looked at the stone tablet, they were a bit dumbfounded when they saw the names of the personnel on it.
Hongjun - Honorary President.
Yuanshi Tianzun - President.
Grand Pure Saint - Vice President.
Sect Master Tongtian - Vice President.
Ling★★ - Administrator.
They could understand the first four people, but who was this last person, and why did his name have two star symbols after it?
Also, why was this trading market temporarily closed, and why was it just placed here so plainly?
Of course, they didn't know that the opening required a grand scene. Now, it was just to let most of the top powerhouses in the Primordial World know about the existence of this thing.
Because Ling Er had said that when the real opening ceremony came, it would be best to invite the Saints to the scene, to make the trading market famous in one go.
Besides, there was nothing to sell in this trading market right now.
Yuanshi Tianzun still had to go to Ling Er to ask for some elixirs, magic tools, formation plates, talismans, and other items to put up for sale.
"Alright, you guys digest the information first, I'll take you to the most core place of our Chan Sect." Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly, looking at the three.
Before the three of them could figure out what was happening, they all passed out. Their primordial spirits began to receive the information that had been implanted earlier.
Yuanshi Tianzun tore through the void with the three of them and stepped inside.
Outside the Chaos—Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun looked at the Creation Jade Plate in his hand, a flicker of anger flashing in his eyes. He casually tossed the Creation Jade Plate aside. He couldn't look at it anymore; the more he looked, the bigger his headache became.
Not long ago, he encountered a tribulation problem. When he went to investigate, he saw that it was Sect Master Tongtian leading his disciples through a tribulation. The problem was that the guy repeatedly went through the tribulation dozens of times, directly causing the Heavenly Dao's tribulation laws to malfunction.
He never knew before that someone could exploit the tribulation like that, directly using it as a spiritual elixir.
Even that Black Dog wasn't that outrageous.
Besides, the Black Dog was covered in the aura of the Treasure Distribution Cliff, so he didn't pursue the matter, simply assuming it was a special case of tribulation.
After all, the Treasure Distribution Cliff was directly stolen by that Tongtian and refined into a living being, creating a new law for the Primordial World.
But last time, that peacock from the Phoenix clan was clearly abnormal, having become a freak of nature.
It messed up half of the laws he had just sorted out.
Just now.
Yuanshi Tianzun created the Great Dao of Trade, directly adding a new law to the Primordial World, and even had the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao bear witness.
So the laws on the Creation Jade Plate became a tangled mess again.
Merging with the Heavenly Dao to slowly sort out these laws was an extremely tiring task.
"However, this Dao of Trade can indeed bring prosperity to the Primordial World, but it feels like if it continues to develop, this Primordial World will become uncontrollable—
What's more, that Yuanshi Tianzun actually invited me to attend some kind of opening ceremony.
Doesn't he know that I have already merged with the Dao and can't leave?" Hongjun muttered to himself, a touch of human weariness on his face, his eyes full of the same confusion as a college student.
Originally, after he merged with the Heavenly Dao, his humanity was slowly being eroded, but now the laws tangled into a mess by the Creation Jade Plate were causing his mentality to collapse.
He had completely lost confidence in using the Heavenly Dao to deduce the future development of the Primordial World.
Especially the Demon Race he observed, which had begun to undergo internal changes, directly honoring Kunpeng as the Demon Master and summoning him to the Demon Court to become an official.
Even more unimaginable to him was that Dijun and Taiyi actually went and invited Zhen Yuanzi out, appointing him as the Demon Court's military advisor.
He didn't know how those two managed to invite Zhen Yuanzi, that homebody, out.
He had worked so hard to appease Zhen Yuanzi through various means, wanting him to stay put, because that guy held the Membrane of the Earth. If he had a moment of irrationality and exploded...
How chaotic would the Primordial World be then—
Hongjun directly lay down, disregarding his image, and muttered to himself, "Brother Pangu—if you're not dead, come back, this Primordial World, I really can't manage it—"
Outside the Chaos—Nüwa Palace.
Nüwa was lying on a chair, sewing a man's clothes in her hand. Sensing the changes in the Primordial World, she stopped her movements.
"Senior Brother Yuanshi has good methods. Once the Dao of Trade is used by more people in the future, his cultivation will increase rapidly.
However, I can help Tongtian. Should I give the Human Dao opportunity to Tongtian?
Anyway, he also wants to cut off the Heavenly Dao Saint position, letting him combine a glimmer of life with the Human Dao—" Nüwa muttered to herself, her eyes becoming brighter.
Sect Master Tongtian was, after all, a direct descendant of Pangu. The Heavenly Dao couldn't possibly drive him out of the Primordial World, right?
As Nüwa's thoughts became firmer.
The Creation Jade Plate in Zixiao Palace erupted with even stronger and more chaotic light, and a certain old man lying down saw this and picked it up to take a look.
He let out a desolate cry, "Brother Pangu, why didn't you chop me to death back then—"
Mount Buzhou Secret Realm Small World.
Yuanshi Tianzun walked in, carrying a fat man and two skinny men in his hands. After seeing Sect Master Tongtian, he casually threw the three aside.
"Oh ho—isn't this our lovely Third Brother? Aren't you indulging in a gentle embrace, unwilling to come back?"
Tongtian's face immediately darkened. He didn't care at all about what his Second Brother said about him; what he cared about was that this guy actually brought their Chan Sect's disciples here.
"Second Brother!! This is my Daoist sect, why did you bring disciples here..."
"What a coincidence, I'm the Second Elder of the Daoist sect—"
"Big Brother!! Can't you say something fair?
Second Brother, he's going too far!" Tongtian turned to look at the Grand Pure Saint, who was calmly drinking tea, and said with a hint of grievance.
"What a coincidence, I'm the Grand Elder of the Daoist family—"
Tongtian: ...
Li Er: ???
