The Saints React, and Primordial Lord Begins Laying His Plans

The actions of the Interception Sect were so grand and powerful that they could not be kept secret from the other Saint in the Primordial Wilderness.

Those streaks of light piercing the sky were nothing short of a declaration that Tongtian had made his choice.

The West, Mount Sumeru.

The pain on the face of the Daoist Jieyin seemed to have faded somewhat, and he sat opposite the Daoist Zhunti, both of them with smiles in their eyes.

"Senior brother, look!"

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian has truly given us a wonderful surprise this time!"

The Daoist Jieyin nodded slowly.

"Yes, I never expected Tongtian to be so proactive this time."

"By summoning all disciples of the Interception Sect in this manner, it seems that a final decision has been made."

Daoist Zhunti and laughed heartily.

"Haha, yeah!"

"I originally thought that, given his personality, he would only rebel in anger after being driven to a dead end and losing all face by Primordial Lord."

"I really didn't expect him to be so proactive this time; it's not like him at all."

"This is unlike his usual style. Could it be that someone is behind this?"

The Daoist Jieyin remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"It's hard to say."

"However, his actions are a great boon to us."

Daoist Zhunti nodded repeatedly, the gleam in his eyes almost impossible to conceal.

"Senior brother is absolutely right!"

"The more forceful Tongtian becomes, the greater the pressure on Primordial Lord will be!"

"The rift between the two brothers will only grow wider!"

"In this way, our Western Teachings will have even more opportunities to exploit!"

Even on the sorrowful face of the Daoist Jieyin, a rare hint of agreement appeared.

"Junior Brother is absolutely right. The infighting among the Three Pure Ones and the fragmentation of the Mystic Gate's Fortune are precisely the time for the Great Prosperity of the West to flourish!"

"We only need to observe and wait for the right opportunity to reap the benefits."

Daoist Zhunti nodded repeatedly, his smile growing even wider.

"Good."

Jieyin nodded, said nothing more, and silently looked eastward, his eyes filled with endless depth.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, Empress Wa's Palace.

The Saint Nuwa gazed towards Golden Ao Island, where sword energy soared into the sky, and the fighting spirit was palpable.

She simply sighed softly.

"Alas, Tribulation is approaching; a storm is brewing."

She withdrew her gaze, and with a gentle wave of her jade hand, the gates of the Empress Wa's Palace slowly closed, isolating her from all the disturbances of the outside world.

This matter has nothing to do with her, and she has no intention of getting involved.

Mount Shouyang, Eight Views Palace.

The Taiqing Saint before the alchemy furnace continued his unhurried movements, as if everything outside was irrelevant to him.

But a hint of helplessness flashed deep within his calm, still eyes.

A barely audible sigh echoed through the empty palace.

"Well..."

"In the end, it still came to this."

"It seems that this Tribulation is unavoidable."

"After this Tribulation, we don't know how many disciples of my Mystic Gate will be left..."

He slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking.

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat upright on a cloud bed, his face as still as water.

He merely snorted coldly at Tongtian's actions.

Tongtian knew perfectly well why he had summoned his disciples.

It seems that this Third Brother is determined not to let those creatures with fur and horns, born from eggs in wet environments, be included on the list.

The next discussion in the In Purple Sky Palace will certainly not yield any results.

Utterly foolish!

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly.

Since you won't listen to my good advice, then don't blame me, your second brother, for not showing any brotherly affection!

Let's see who uses the most effective methods.

With a thought, a majestic Imperial Edict instantly spread throughout the entire Kunlun Mountain.

"Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Yu Ding, Taiyi... you all, come to the Jade Void Palace to see me at once!"

The Twelve Golden Immortals, who were meditating in their respective Cave Abode, all felt a chill run down their spines.

They sensed the chilling aura in their master's words and dared not be negligent in the slightest. They all transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the Jade Void Palace.

Before long, twelve Dao Body appeared in the main hall.

"Disciple greets Master! May Master live a long and prosperous life!"

The Twelve Golden Immortals, led by Guangchengzi, respectfully bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun on the High Platform.

Get up.

The voice of the Yuanshi Tianzun revealed no emotion.

"Thank you, Master."

The gaze of the Yuanshi Tianzun swept over each of the twelve individuals.

"I have summoned you here today for a matter of Tribulation."

"The Tribulation is approaching."

Boom!

Tribulation!

These two words stirred up a tidal wave of emotions in the minds of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Their faces instantly filled with horror and unease.

They naturally knew what those two words meant.

"Master, is this... is this real?"

As the eldest disciple, Guangchengzi braced himself and asked the question.

"Hmph, would I, your teacher, lie to you?"

"The Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly."

"The Tribulation is approaching, and the aura of killing and conflict in the heavens and earth is growing stronger."

"In the past, you assisted Human Emperor Xuanyuan by venturing into the mortal world, committing Killing Tribulation, and becoming entangled in boundless Karma."

"This Tribulation is the time for you to settle this Karma."

Upon hearing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals ' expressions turned even more grim.

The Karma Killing Tribulation they incurred while assisting Xuanyuan had already caused them immense suffering, making it difficult for them to improve their cultivation.

They thought that as long as they devoted themselves to diligent practice, they would eventually be able to eliminate this Karma.

Who would have thought that they would run directly into Tribulation!

This... this will kill them!

Given their current state, facing this perilous and unpredictable Tribulation would likely result in a near-certain death!

Guangchengzi stepped forward, bowed, and asked.

"Reporting to Master!"

"The Killing Tribulation we committed while assisting the Human Emperor has become Karma."

"It has entangled our Primordial Spirit, causing our cultivation to stagnate for many years, making it difficult to advance even an inch."

"Now, Tribulation is about to descend upon the world."

"This disciple is filled with fear and trepidation, not knowing how to overcome this Tribulation. Please enlighten me, Master!"

Chijingzi followed suit, his face full of worry.

"Yes, Master! That Karma of Killing Tribulation is inherently difficult to resolve."

"Now that two calamities have befallen us, we... we truly have no confidence that we can safely weather them!"

"We humbly beg our Master to have mercy and show us the right path!"

The other Golden Immortal also spoke up, their words earnest and their faces filled with worry.

They were scared.

If one does not become a saint, one will remain an ant in the end.

Under the Tribulation, even Daluo Golden Immortal is nothing more than a slightly stronger ant, who may turn to ashes at any moment.

"What's the panic!"

"You are disciples of my Clarify Sect, the Orthodox Daoist Sect. How can you let Tribulation disturb your minds! What kind of behavior is this!"

A cold shout made the Twelve Golden Immortals tremble and fall silent instantly.

"Since I have summoned you here, it is naturally because I have already devised a method for you to overcome this Tribulation."
