Watching Yun Ting's excited expression, Ao Guang couldn't bring himself to stop him and could only nod helplessly. "Alright, Boss, whatever you say, I'll do. If something really goes wrong, you'd better come save me."
Yun Ting chuckled. "Relax, nothing will go wrong. By the way, why hasn't your father returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace yet?"
Ao Guang nodded. "Mm, the Four Dragon Kings all went to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm for a meeting. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to drink so openly with you in the main hall..."
Yun Ting nodded. "I can see you have the makings of the next Dragon King. I'm off." With that, he transformed into a streak of light, vanished from the East Sea Dragon Palace, and shot straight toward the Immortal Court established by East King Duke on Penglai Island.
Watching Yun Ting's departing figure, Turtle Prime Minister coughed and said, "Great Crown Prince, he's going to wreck East King Duke's dojo. Are you sure you won't intervene?"
Ao Guang spread his hands. "Intervene in what? I know this Boss's background isn't weak. East King Duke can't take him down. Hey, Old Turtle, the Boss just said I have the makings of a Dragon King. What do you think?"
Turtle Prime Minister was speechless. If I say yes... you're really not as good as your second brother Ao Han. If I say you don't have what it takes, you'll hold a grudge against me. So he dodged the question. "I'm old, my eyes are dim. I can't see anything. Don't ask me." With that, he scurried away in a flash.
Ao Guang was left speechless. "Hey, they say turtles are slow, but our East Sea Turtle Prime Minister sure can run fast."
Back on Penglai Island, Yun Ting hovered in the air above, muttering as he contacted the system. "This Bodhi Sarira Light doesn't seem to have much destructive power. Tearing down a place would take some effort. There are dozens of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals inside. If I kill them all, the karma would be heavy. That's not ideal, is it?"
The system replied, teaching him, "Oh, just convert the Bodhi Sarira Light into the Great Brightness Flame and burn the island directly. I'll help you transfer the karma onto Zhunti's head. Mm, but only this one dojo, got it? Any more and I can't handle it."
Yun Ting nodded at this and began burning the Immortal Court with the Great Brightness Flame. Ao Guang, ever quick-witted, saw Yun Ting start the fire and immediately recorded it with a Shadow Recording Stone, laughing heartily. "Got it. When the time comes, the Boss will give me some fortune, and East King Duke should reward me too."
"Tsk tsk, this Great Brightness Flame really is the perfect thing for burning down an Immortal Court!" Yun Ting stood atop the sea of fire, watching the Immortal Court burn to ashes, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
He hadn't been smiling long before several experts at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm surrounded him. "Who are you? How dare you burn down our Immortal Court dojo?"
"Immortal Court? A mere East King Duke deserves to occupy such a fine place? I am Daoist Zhunti of Mount Sumeru. What can you do to me?" As he spoke, he radiated the Bodhi Sarira Light to its fullest, and the Seven-colored Glazed Radiance burst forth, frightening the group of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals into inaction.
Ao Guang watched Yun Ting single-handedly suppress a crowd of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals at the same cultivation level and thought, The Boss really is of the Three Pure Ones' Direct Bloodline. This pressure is something else. So many at the same level, and not one dares to make a move?
Then Yun Ting chuckled, used a Sleeve Universe technique to sweep all the spirit herbs and spirit roots on Penglai Island clean, scraping the ground bare by three zhang, and left directly. (Yes, three zhang, not a typo—the fiercer the scraping, the more it fits Zhunti, right?)
Outside the Purple Firmament Palace, waiting for the second lecture to begin, Zhunti felt a sudden chill run down his spine, sensing an extra strand of karma on himself. This... could it be from all the cursing I got for scraping the Eastern Continent recently? Mm, no matter, no matter. It's all for the Western Continent. Scrape the ground often, take a few curses now and then—it's fine.
As for East King Duke, he too felt a chill, sensing that his luck had inexplicably dropped by thirty percent. Something was wrong, but he couldn't find the cause, so he had to let it go...
Just as the Great Powers were pondering, inside the Purple Firmament Palace, Hongjun frowned and muttered, "When did Tong Tian get a little brat..." After some investigation, he found that Yun Ting was indeed a native lifeform of the Primordial Wilderness, born by chance. He didn't think much of it, only deciding to drag him to the Purple Firmament Palace during the second lecture to stop him from causing more trouble. Burning down the Immortal Court was already enough to stir up enmity between Zhunti and East King Duke.
Thinking this, Hongjun prepared to give East King Duke a hint, but the Heavenly Dao reminded him, "You are the only Heavenly Dao Sage of the Primordial Wilderness. As long as the grand trends remain unchanged, there is no need to intervene in the karma of Primordial lifeforms."
Hearing this, Hongjun immediately understood that Yun Ting was definitely not that simple. Mm, Tong Tian alone wouldn't warrant such attention from the Heavenly Dao. This kid must have other secrets behind him.
