Seeing Yun Ting's excited expression, Ao Guang found it hard to stop him and could only nod helplessly. "All right. Whatever you say, boss, I'll do. But if something really happens, you have to 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. "Yeah, the Four Dragon Kings have all gone to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm for a meeting. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to drink with you so openly in the main hall..."
Yun Ting nodded. "I can see that 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 toward the Immortal Court established by the East King Duke on Penglai Island.
Watching Yun Ting's departing figure, the Turtle Prime Minister coughed. "Great Crown Prince, he's going to smash the East King Duke's Daoist Sanctuary. Are you sure you're not going to do anything?"
Ao Guang spread his hands. "Do what? I know the boss's background isn't weak. The East King Duke won't be able to handle him. By the way, Old Turtle, the boss just said I have the makings of a Dragon King. Do you think that's true?"
The Turtle Prime Minister was speechless. If I say you do... you're really not as good as your second brother, Ao Han. But if I say you don't have the makings of a Dragon King, won't you hold a grudge against me? So, the Turtle Prime Minister gave him a vague answer. "I'm old, my eyes are failing, and I can't see a thing. Don't ask me." With that, he scampered off in a flash.
Ao Guang was speechless. "Hey, they say turtles are slow, but our East Sea Turtle Prime Minister runs pretty fast."
Over at Penglai Island, Yun Ting arrived overhead and muttered as he contacted the system, "This Bodhi Sarira Light doesn't seem very destructive. Tearing the place down would take some effort. There are dozens of Grand Unity Golden Immortals inside—if I kill them all, the Karma would be pretty heavy. That wouldn't be appropriate, right?"
Hearing this, the system instructed him, "Oh, use the Bodhi Sarira Light to transform it into the Great Brightness Flame and burn the island directly. I'll just transfer the Karma onto Zhunti. Oh, right, you can only burn this one Daoist Sanctuary. Any more than that, and I can't handle it."
Yun Ting nodded and immediately began burning the Immortal Court with the Great Brightness Flame. Ao Guang was quite quick on the uptake. Seeing Yun Ting begin to burn the Immortal Court, he directly recorded it with a Shadow Recording Stone and laughed loudly. "Done! When the time comes, the boss will surely grant me some good fortune. The East King Duke should give me some benefits too, right?"
"Not bad, not bad. This Great Brightness Flame really is perfect for burning down the Immortal Court!" Yun Ting stood above the sea of flames, watching the Immortal Court burn to ashes, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
He had not smiled for long before several Grand Unity Golden Immortal experts surrounded him. "Who are you? How dare you burn our Immortal Court's Daoist Sanctuary?"
"Immortal Court? Does a mere East King Duke deserve to occupy such a fine place? I am Daoist Zhunti of Mount Sumeru. What can you do to me?" As he spoke, he spread the Bodhi Sarira Light to its utmost limit. Seven-colored Glazed Radiance suddenly appeared, frightening the Grand Unity Golden Immortals so badly that none dared attack.
Seeing Yun Ting suppress a group of Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the same realm all by himself, Ao Guang thought, As expected of the boss, descended from the Orthodox Lineage of the Three Pure Ones. This pressure is truly something else. With so many experts of the same realm here, not one of them dares make a move?
Then Yun Ting chuckled and used Sleeve Universe to sweep every spiritual herb and spiritual root from Penglai Island clean. After scraping the place down another three zhang, he left. (It really was three zhang, not a typo. Only by scraping the land this ruthlessly could he resemble Zhunti, right?)
Before the gates of Purple Firmament Palace, Zhunti, who was waiting for the second lecture to begin, suddenly felt his scalp tingle. He noticed that an additional trace of karmic entanglement had appeared around him. Could it be that I was cursed too much for stripping the Eastern Continent bare some time ago? Hmm, no matter, no matter. It was all for the Western Continent. If I scrape the land often, then occasionally taking a few insults is only natural.
As for the East King Duke, his scalp also tingled. He felt as though his fortune had somehow dropped by thirty percent for no reason. Something was clearly wrong, yet he could not find the cause and could only let it go...
While the great powers were lost in thought, Hongjun frowned within Purple Firmament Palace and muttered, "Since when did Tong Tian have a little brat..." After investigating, he found that Yun Ting really was a native creature of the Primordial Wilderness, born through a fortuitous coincidence. Hongjun did not think much of it, merely deciding to drag him to Purple Firmament Palace when the second lecture began, lest he continue causing trouble. Burning the Immortal Court had already created enough enmity between Zhunti and the East King Duke.
With that thought, Hongjun prepared to offer the East King Duke a few pointers, only for the Heavenly Dao to remind him, "You are the Primordial Wilderness's sole Heavenly Dao Sage. As long as the greater course remains unchanged, there is no need to interfere in the karmic entanglements of the creatures of the Primordial Wilderness."
The moment he heard this, Hongjun immediately understood. This Yun Ting was definitely not so simple. Tong Tian alone would not make the Heavenly Dao value him so highly. There should be other secrets behind this boy.
