The Interception Sect's myriad immortals stood as one-why fear a Saint's scheme!
Tongtian continued speaking.
"This Tribulation is Killing Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, originating from our Mystic Gate."
"The Dao Ancestor Imperial Edict that we, the disciples of the Three Teachings, shall fill the divine positions in the Heavenly Court."
"Those who are listed will henceforth be no longer in control of their own lives, but will be driven by the Heavenly Court and subject to the jurisdiction of the Haotian, never to have a day of freedom again."
"However, it can spare us from the calamity of death in this Tribulation."
"What if we don't make the list..."
The Tongtian Sect Master paused, his tone becoming extremely solemn.
"Throughout Tribulation, all beings below the level of Saint are but ants, their fate uncertain."
Upon hearing this, many disciples frowned.
Should they be made to serve Haotian?
How is that possible!
But if one doesn't make the list, will one face a calamity, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence?
this...
Just then, the Tongtian Sect Master dropped an even more astonishing bombshell.
"Moreover, this Tribulation is not simply a conflict between our Chan and Jie Sects; there are other reasons as well."
"At that time, our Interception Sect may have to face more than just one Saint."
"It's very likely... four!"
Boom!
These words were like Divine Thunder from the heavens, exploding in the minds of all the Jie Sect Disciple!
Everyone was stunned!
The Four Saints join forces?
What a desperate situation!
The saying "below even Saint are all ants" is no exaggeration.
Before the Saint, these so-called immortals had absolutely no chance of resistance.
Panic, unease, and confusion quickly spread among the crowd.
Some disciples with shallower cultivation and weaker willpower had turned pale, and their bodies even began to tremble slightly.
The Tongtian Sect Master took in everyone's reactions and sighed inwardly.
He knew how much this news would impact them.
But he had to say it.
He must make them realize the harsh reality.
I've said everything I needed to say.
"Now, you have two paths before you."
"One option is to voluntarily appear on the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods."
"As long as you make it onto the list, you can be spared from the calamity that will kill you in this Tribulation."
"Although I will lose my freedom, at least I can save my life."
Secondly...
The Tongtian Sect Master's gaze sharpened.
"It is to fight alongside your master against them! To fight for that sliver of hope!"
"Let's use the swords in our hands to seize that glimmer of hope!"
"However, this road is extremely dangerous; even Saint's Scheme could only result in a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."
"The slightest mistake could lead to death and the annihilation of one's cultivation, turning ten thousand years of practice into ashes."
"The choice of where you go is yours."
"Those who wish to be listed, please step forward now, and I will inscribe your name on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods."
After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Master closed his eyes and quietly awaited his disciples' choice.
Inside the main hall, there was complete silence.
Everyone fell silent, each person engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Being listed means becoming a puppet of the Heavenly Court, forever losing control of one's own destiny.
Not being on the list means facing the schemes of the four Saint, which is almost certainly a death sentence.
This is a dead end.
Some disciples with lower cultivation levels, or those who were timid by nature, showed hesitation and struggle in their eyes.
They didn't want to die.
They were equally unwilling to serve Haotian.
Just then, a clear and resolute voice broke the suffocating silence.
"This disciple refuses!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bixiao, one of the Three Xiao Fairies, stepping out from the crowd.
Her pretty face held a fierce glint, her beautiful eyes filled with arrogance and defiance.
"Master!"
Bixiao bowed deeply to the Tongtian Sect Master, then straightened up and said loudly.
"We, the disciples of the Interception Sect, cultivate the Great Dao of Freedom and seek only a sliver of hope! We have never feared any struggle!"
"We, the Jie Sect Disciple, are willing to die in battle, to perish, to have our souls scattered!"
"But we must never surrender without a fight, and live on our knees in humiliation!"
"So what about the four Saint?"
"With all the immortals of our Interception Sect united as one, and with our Master present, we may very well have the strength to fight!"
"That Investiture of the Gods! Whoever loves it can be on it!"
"This disciple is willing to follow Master and live or die with the Interception Sect!"
Even if I die and my soul vanishes, turning to ashes, I will have no regrets!
Bixiao's words were like a spark, instantly igniting the resentment and pride in everyone's hearts.
"That's right! Bixiao Sister Bixiao is right!"
"They're just four Saint! With our master here, what do we have to fear!"
"I am willing to follow my master and fight to the death!"
Zhao Gongming, who had been silent all along, burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
"Hahaha! Well said!"
"I, Zhao Gongming, have cultivated myself to this day, and I still don't know how to write the word 'fear'!"
"You want me on that list? Dream on!"
"Master, your disciple is also willing to live and die with the Interception Sect!"
"I am willing too!"
"I am willing to live and die with my Master!"
"I am willing to live and die with my Master!"
Those disciples who were initially hesitant were now swept up in this overwhelming trend.
Their timidity was replaced by fervor, and they joined in the shouting.
They are Jie Sect Disciple!
Deep down, they were just like their master—unruly and rebellious!
In an instant, all the disciples in the entire hall, whether they were direct disciples or outer disciples, knelt down on the ground.
"We are willing to live and die with our Master!!"
The sound surged skyward, making the entire Jade Palace vibrate.
Looking at the faces below filled with fighting spirit, and hearing the shouts of "To live or die together," the Tongtian Sect Master slowly opened his eyes.
His heart was filled with boundless joy.
This is his disciple!
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Truly worthy of being my disciple, Tongtian! Truly worthy of being a member of my Interception Sect!"
He suddenly stood up, Surrounding Body sword intent soaring into the sky, and the supreme pressure of Saint instantly enveloped the entire area.
"Rest assured!"
"Saint, your teacher will protect you!"
"If they dare to bully the weak and personally intervene, I will show them just how sharp the Four Swords of Zhu Xian in my hands truly are!"
"What you need to do is deal with opponents of your own level!"
The voice of the Tongtian Sect Master was filled with unparalleled domineering power and confidence, which made all the disciples feel at ease.
"Not to mention..."
"I am not alone in this Tribulation."
"I have helpers too."
Upon hearing this, all the disciples were overjoyed!
Master has other helpers?
Those who can be called helpers by their master must be Saint- level beings!
Is it the Nuwa? Or that That One from the Wu Clan?
In an instant, the last trace of worry in the hearts of all the disciples vanished.
They could almost see the scene of the Interception Sect defeating the combined forces of the Four Saints, safely surviving the Tribulation, and shaking the Primordial Wilderness with their might!
"Master is mighty!"
"The Interception Sect will surely prevail!"
Cheers erupted once again, Yunxiao and lasting for a long time.
The Tongtian Sect Master looked at his disciples, who were in high spirits, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Everyone, you can leave now."
"From this day forward, you shall all cultivate diligently."
"Before the Tribulation truly arrives, do everything possible to increase your strength."
"Yes! I will obey Master's Imperial Edict!"
