This Seat Here

This trip of mine was originally intended to find some opportunities for the disciples of the Intercepting Sect."

"As for your kind offer, fellow Daoist... let's just forget about it."

"This humble Daoist cannot bear to **change allegiance."

Tongtian sighed lightly.

Signing the contract meant becoming a person of Wuji Heaven.

He ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

However, he did indeed come here wanting to find a way out for more of the Intercepting Sect's ** disciples.

The Intercepting Sect had ten thousand disciples paying homage, with ** so many.

Even if a world were to be created, many would ** be unable to participate—either due to insufficient cultivation or failure to comprehend the Laws.

That was why he came in person.

After all, only the Intercepting Sect faced such a predicament.

The Heavenly Origin Sect and the Western Sect had few disciples. If they squeezed together to create a world, the Merit would barely be enough to go around.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have any other tasks?"

"Can you allow other ** disciples of my sect to participate in this?"

Tongtian probed.

Lu Changqing's eyes lit up at this.

Wasn't this exactly what he needed?

He was worried about lacking manpower for development, and Tongtian had just shown up.

"Indeed, I have a task."

"We are currently short of hands to develop the wasteland."

Lu Changqing said with a smile.

If he could mobilize the Intercepting Sect's ** disciples to develop the wasteland, and then recruit other cultivators from the Primordial World—

Wouldn't his grand wish of exhausting all his Merit be one step closer!

Tongtian was filled with confusion upon hearing this.

Develop the wasteland?

Was he asking the Intercepting Sect's ** disciples to be laborers?

Absolutely not!

With ten thousand disciples paying homage to the Intercepting Sect, how could they endure such humiliation?

They couldn't possibly discard their dignity for a bit of Merit!

This is unacceptable!

This is truly beneath them!

"Fellow Daoist, do you have any other matters?"

Tongtian shook his head like a rattle drum.

Seeing Tongtian's strong reaction, Lu Changqing knew he had misunderstood.

He explained: "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you've misunderstood!

This is not ordinary wasteland development, but expanding the boundaries of the Primordial World!

Thus, expanding the scope of heaven and earth."

"How about it, are you interested?"

Tongtian was struck as if by lightning.

What had he just heard?

Lu Changqing actually said he wanted to expand the Primordial World?

Break through the world's barriers?

He's crazy!

He must be crazy!

What kind of insane thought was this?

Let alone Tongtian, even Ming He, who was usually adept at flattery, was stunned into silence.

This idea was truly terrifying.

Expanding the boundaries of the Primordial World!

Unheard of!

The Primordial World was already vast and boundless; who would think of expanding it?

Wait!

This Lord cannot be judged by ordinary standards—what normal person would be so outrageously inhuman!

Perhaps only an existence like Lu Changqing could conceive such an astonishing plan!

East King Duke and Ran Deng were equally dumbfounded.

Such an idea was simply insane!

Since the creation of heaven and earth, perhaps no one had ever entertained such a thought.

The most critical point is that expanding the Primordial World seems to have no benefit!

Tongtian and the other four were all shaken to their souls upon hearing this.

Big shot!

Isn't your way of playing too ahead of its time?

Exchanging for spiritual treasures, opening up heaven and earth, creating Saints...

All of that is acceptable!

And now you even want to reform the Primordial World?

The Primordial World was opened by Pangu! Although it accommodates all worlds and encompasses the starry river—

Precisely because of this, to expand the Primordial World, Its difficulty is comparable to re-enacting chaos!

Even Saints can only sigh in regret at this.

Tongtian's expression shifted, and he finally gave a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu...

This matter is truly difficult."

"Not only are my disciples incapable, but even I find it troublesome."

"Even if all the Saints joined forces, they probably couldn't shake the foundation of the Primordial World."

"Although my Intercepting Sect has some capabilities, even opening up heaven and earth is quite strenuous, let alone expanding the Primordial World."

Lu Changqing smiled calmly and flicked his sleeve.

In an instant, the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture manifested.

Myriad Dao rhythms flowed from his palm, and the true meaning of endless worlds flickered in and out of existence within it.

The scene of heaven and earth being opened up seemed to be before their eyes.

"With this scripture in hand, anything is possible."

Lu Changqing surveyed everyone, his tone calm.

He never intended to keep it to himself.

If this scripture were kept under wraps, those with shallow cultivation would truly be unable to participate in the pioneering.

Displaying it before Tongtian now was precisely to use the Intercepting Sect as a test—if it succeeded, Then it would be widely spread throughout the Primordial World to benefit all beings.

At that time, those with insufficient cultivation could also participate in the pioneering.

In this way, all beings in the Primordial World could help him consume Merit.

One day, he would be able to achieve all the System's goals.

Looking at the profound scripture in Lu Changqing's palm...

Tongtian couldn't hide his shock.

Such an supreme and wondrous method!

There is such a mystical art in the world!

If one acts according to this scripture, can the Primordial World truly be expanded?

How could this have been deduced?

This is the Primordial World opened by the great god Pangu!

The world's barrier alone is indestructible.

But according to the method shown by Lu Changqing, it might actually be possible.

Tongtian could see this much.

East King Duke was also stunned on the spot.

The Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture lives up to its name, truly profoundly mystical!

Is this the method of the Great Master?

As expected, unfathomable!

Even such a method of opening the heavens could be deduced!

You have to understand that even the Heavenly Dao is helpless when it comes to expanding the Primordial World.

If there were a way, the Primordial World would have already been much vaster.

Why would we have to wait until today?

As expected of the Father of the Heavenly Dao! A problem that even the Heavenly Dao cannot solve.

In the Great Master's hands, it's as easy as lifting a feather and it's resolved!

Kunpeng and Ran Deng were equally incredulous.

If they hadn't reached the Hunyuan Great Luo realm, they probably wouldn't have been able to comprehend the profundities of the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture.

They could only feel its extraordinary nature.

But as they were already Hunyuan Great Luo, they could naturally see the shocking aspects within.

Its profundity even surpassed ordinary Great Daos.

Even the Three Thousand Laws were not as wondrous as this scripture.

After all, this is a method that can break through the barriers of the Primordial World!

How could it be comparable to ordinary Great Daos?

Although Ming He couldn't fully comprehend it, he could feel the supreme true meaning within and could also see that by following this scripture, the Primordial World might truly be expanded.

For him, understanding this was enough.

Once he proves himself as a Hunyuan, he can participate in the pioneering!

With the Great Master's spirit, his vision must be grand.

Seeing everyone finish their observation, Lu Changqing waved his sleeve.

The profound true meaning immediately dissipated.

He asked directly, "How about it, will the Intercepting Sect take this job?"

Tongtian pondered for a moment. If the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture was truly effective, this task seemed like it could be accepted?

After all, this pioneering was different from what he had imagined; it was about breaking through the barriers of the Primordial World!

Even if it spread, it would be enough to make all beings praise the Intercepting Sect's extraordinary nature.

It's just that Lu Changqing hadn't explained how the Merit would be calculated yet.

He needed to ask clearly.

What if it was less than the Merit gained from creating a world? Sending many people to pioneer would be a loss, wouldn't it?

Tongtian coughed lightly and put on an act, saying, "According to Fellow Daoist's demonstration, it is naturally feasible."

"But this method is more difficult than creating a small world. This poor Daoist still needs to consult my disciples before I can reply."

Lu Changqing saw that Tongtian was already tempted and said directly, "The Merit won't be little. In a word, are you doing it or not?"

Upon receiving the assurance, Tongtian's eyes immediately lit up with a smile.

He chuckled and said, "What Merit or no Merit!

This poor Daoist wanted to befriend you anyway!

Moreover, this matter is a great benevolent act for the Primordial World. Fellow Daoist, feel free to hand it over to the Intercepting Sect!"

He said, patting his chest as a guarantee, "Absolutely no problem."

With sufficient Merit, chaos can be shattered.

There's only one word: Let's do it!

East King Duke and the other two showed disdain.

As expected!

They had anticipated this long ago.

This scene felt familiar. When Yuanshi created a small world back then, it was the same...

These two brothers truly have the same disposition!

And so, under Lu Changqing's arrangement, Tongtian became the leader of the Primordial World's pioneering.

Tongtian had no objections to this.

Hah!

To earn Merit, there's no shame in it!

"I'll entrust this matter to you, Fellow Daoist!"

Lu Changqing finished speaking and pointed a finger.

Whoosh!

The profound spiritual light entered Tongtian's sea of consciousness, and he immediately understood the essence of the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture.

Lu Changqing instructed, "The Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture has been passed to you."

"Hurry and prepare!

When the time comes, bring the Intercepting Sect ** along to explore and pioneer."

Tongtian cupped his hands with a smile, "Thank you, fellow Daoist!

This humble Daoist shall take his leave now!"

As soon as he spoke, spiritual light flickered.

His figure vanished instantly.

Having obtained the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture, he was already eager to act!

He was unwilling to delay any longer, as for him, any delay was a waste of time.

Time itself was Merit!

After seeing Tongtian off, Lu Changqing turned to Ming He, "Now you have both Primordial Violet Qi and Merit."

"Hurry and prove your Dao to Hunyuan."

Ming He was extremely excited and responded, "Thank you, Great Master, for your nurturing!

I, Ming He, will never forget your kindness. Henceforth, wherever Great Master points, I, Ming He, will go even unto death!

If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!

My admiration for you is simply..."

Lu Changqing's expression instantly turned grim.

"Enough!"

"Endless!"

"This again!"

"You too?!"

He raised his hand and summoned the God-Slaying Spear, poised to strike.

He truly couldn't stand this fellow anymore.

Ming He was greatly alarmed at the sight and scrambled away, covering his head.

East King Duke and Ran Deng, along with the other two, watched Ming He flee, their expressions grave.

"Good heavens!

This person's strength is extraordinary, truly troublesome.

Such flattering words make one's skin crawl!"

Above the East Sea.

Golden Ao Immortal Island.

Sect Master Tongtian returned with a beaming smile, his voice echoing across the entire island.

"My disciples!

Come quickly. Your master went to Wuji Heaven this time and obtained a great opportunity for our Intercepting Sect!"

Hearing that it was related to Wuji Heaven, the disciples of the Intercepting Sect immediately rushed to the Dao-seeking platform.

Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Wudang, and the other direct disciples exchanged glances.

Their master was so joyful; what kind of opportunity had he brought back?

"Master, what exactly is this opportunity?

It has made you so happy?"

Zhao Gongming asked with a smile, his heart already unable to contain his curiosity.

"Wuji Heaven! That is Changqing Immortal Venerable's Daoist field.

Could it be that Immortal Venerable is going to bestow Merit again?

If that were truly the case, it would be a tremendous blessing!"

Tongtian laughed heartily, "Opening up new territories and expanding our land."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples froze in place.

Daoist Duobao and Saint Mother Wudang's heads seemed to sprout large question marks.

What does Master mean by this?

Pioneering new land?

Is he joking?

They are disciples of a Saint!

Why would they go pioneering out of the blue?

Wouldn't that be beneath them?

Master seems so happy about it, could there be a misunderstanding?

This development is truly baffling!

On Golden Ao Island.

They thought the Sect Master had brought back a gift, but who knew it would be such shocking news.

The disciples of the Intercepting Sect were all stunned into silence.

Pioneering new land?

They, as Saints' disciples, were being asked to do such menial labor?

Zhao Gongming could hardly believe his ears.

Pioneering new land?

Stop joking!

He is a disciple of a Saint!

Even if he's just an outer disciple, if he really goes pioneering, wouldn't he become a laughingstock of the Primordial World?

He'd probably be nailed to the Intercepting Sect's pillar of shame!

Thinking of that scene, Zhao Gongming couldn't help but shiver.

Duobao's eyes were filled with confusion. Why did Master suddenly want them to pioneer new land?

Doesn't he think it's undignified?

Could the reward from Wuji Heaven be too generous for even Master to resist?

But that doesn't seem right either!

How could Master, a Saint, be so easily swayed?

Saint Mother Wudang found it even harder to accept.

She had always taken pride in her identity as a Saint's disciple.

If she went pioneering under that title, she would surely become a joke in the Primordial World, Who knows how many years she would be mocked!

Master!

Is there some misunderstanding?

How could pioneering, such menial work, be something for us to do!

Saint Mother Wudang couldn't hold back and was the first to ask.

The other disciples cast questioning glances as well.

Indeed!

A Saint's disciple going pioneering!
