Perhaps you'll run into each other at the gates of Purple Cloud Palace?

Zhou Ming looked at the Tongtian Sect Master's face, which was filled with confusion and bewilderment, and simply spoke calmly.

"Because your Interception Sect is just too powerful, fellow Daoist."

These words, though spoken lightly, stirred up a monstrous storm in the heart of the Tongtian Sect Master.

That's too strong!

This is the same excuse again!

Is being powerful a mistake?

The Interception Sect, with its Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage homage, enjoyed its peak of fortune and its Fortune shook the Primordial Wilderness. It would not be an exaggeration to call it the number one sect in the Mystic Gate.

As Saint, his disciples are all highly accomplished; isn't that a good thing?

How did it become a path to disaster in Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming's mouth?

Zhou Ming said last time that the Interception Sect was too strong and would be targeted by the other Saint, and he believed it.

However, the idea that the Interception Sect was too powerful and would incur the displeasure of the Dao Ancestor is simply nonsense.

For a moment, the Tongtian Sect Master was at a loss for words, staring blankly at Zhou Ming.

He tried to find a trace of a joke in the other person's calm, still eyes.

However, no.

Zhou Ming's expression was extremely serious.

This deepened Heavenly Heart's confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, what is the meaning of these words?"

"This humble Daoist priest... doesn't understand."

Zhou Ming took a small sip of his fragrant tea before explaining slowly and deliberately.

"Fellow Daoist, the strength of your Interception Sect is now unparalleled in the Primordial Wilderness."

"If we were to find Person destined for the Tribulation, who would then wield the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip..."

"That means they have gained an absolute advantage in this Tribulation."

"In this way, the chances of the Interception Sect surviving this Tribulation will greatly increase."

Do you think this is what Heavenly Dao wants to see?

"Or rather, is this That One the Dao Ancestor, who sits high in the In Purple Sky Palace, would want to see?"

The confusion in the heart of the Tongtian Sect Master instantly transformed into an indescribable sense of absurdity.

Hongjun?

The Heavenly Dao?

Unwilling to see the Interception Sect survive the Tribulation?

How is that possible!

The first reaction of the Tongtian Sect Master was disbelief.

It even seemed somewhat ridiculous.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't your statement a bit alarmist?"

His speech quickened, clearly indicating that he was in a state of confusion.

"The Dao Ancestor is high above, looking down upon all living beings. How could he possibly target a Interception Sect like mine?"

"Moreover, it was said by the Dao Ancestor himself in the In Purple Sky Palace."

"In this Tribulation, the Chan and Jie Sects each relied on their own abilities; the victors lived freely, while the losers were listed on the merit list."

"This is the Heavenly Decree, how could the Dao Ancestor go back on his word?"

The more the Tongtian Sect Master spoke, the more untenable Zhou Ming's conjecture seemed to him.

"Furthermore, given the Dao Ancestor's Tongtian power, if he truly intended to target my Interception Sect..."

"With just a single thought, my Interception Sect would be in danger of collapse; how could we possibly have the slightest power to resist?"

Why would he go to such lengths and engage in such underhanded schemes?

The more the Tongtian Sect Master spoke, the deeper his confusion became.

He simply couldn't understand it.

After Dao Integration, Dao Ancestor Hongjun became the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

If he wanted to destroy the Interception Sect, it would only take a thought.

Why go through all that trouble, creating two Auspicious sign of a flying bear and then secretly plotting against him?

This is completely illogical.

"Moreover, even if our Interception Sect is fortunate enough to obtain the Person destined for the Tribulation and take control of the Investiture of the Gods, it doesn't mean we can safely weather this Tribulation."

"I am well aware of the perils of this Tribulation."

"In the midst of Tribulation, countless Variables arise. How could a single Magic Treasure or a disciple possibly determine the Qiankun?"

These words were the heartfelt words of the Tongtian Sect Master.

He couldn't believe that the Dao Ancestor would resort to such dishonorable means to scheme against his own disciple.

Seeing Tongtian's reaction, Zhou Ming's face did not show any surprise.

All of this was within his expectations.

After all, what he just said was too outrageous and too shocking.

No other being in the Primordial Wilderness would believe that That One lofty Dao Ancestor Hongjun would secretly plot against his own disciple.

Especially someone like the Tongtian Sect Master, with his personality.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and experienced it firsthand, he would never have believed that his teacher would plot against him behind his back.

But Zhou Ming didn't care.

His purpose in coming today was not to persuade Tongtian.

All he had to do was plant a seed of doubt in the heart of the Tongtian Sect Master.

A seed of doubt about Hongjun and the Way of Heavenly Dao.

Once, Tongtian thought he was talking nonsense.

He might scoff at it twice.

But what about three times? Or even more?

Especially after what he said came true one by one in the future.

Tongtian was then forced to consider the veracity of his words.

All he has to do now is wait patiently.

Waiting for that seed to take root and sprout in Tongtian's heart.

So, Zhou Ming met Tongtian's questioning gaze with a faint smile.

"I know it's hard for you to believe, fellow Daoist."

Perhaps I'm overthinking it.

"However, this possibility certainly exists."

"Moreover, in my opinion, the possibility is very high."

"Fellow Daoist will soon find out whether what I said is true or not."

The Tongtian Sect Master's heart stirred.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

A meaningful smile curved at the corners of Zhou Ming's lips.

"It's very simple."

"Once you accept That One person with the ' Auspicious sign of a flying bear ' as your disciple, we will immediately proceed to the Purple Cloud Palace."

"Just tell them you've found the Person destined for the Tribulation."

"Please, Hongjun, bestow upon you the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, and let your Interception Sect preside over this great undertaking of the Investiture of the Gods."

"As far as I know, Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord has not yet found the whereabouts of the Auspicious sign of a flying bear '."

"Then the one you have found, fellow Daoist, is the only known Person destined for the Tribulation this Primordial Wilderness."

According to the rules set by Hongjun, "Whoever accepts this person as a disciple..."

"Whoever can go to the Purple Cloud Palace, retrieve the Investiture of the Gods, and preside over this great undertaking of Investiture of the Gods."

"Fellow Daoist, you may use this opportunity to test Hongjun's attitude."

This suggestion stirred something within the Tongtian Sect Master.

That is indeed a solution.

As of now, the Clarify Sect has certainly not found another Person destined for the Tribulation.

So the one I found is the only person known in the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness to possess the "Auspicious sign of a flying bear".

This is indeed an excellent opportunity to test the Dao Ancestor's attitude!

Zhou Ming looked at Tongtian and added meaningfully.

"I suspect the final result might disappoint you, fellow Daoist."

"But..."

"The final result will likely disappoint you, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master's heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Ming means... the Dao Ancestor will refuse?

How is that possible!

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Good!"

"Once I've taken this person in, I'll immediately set off for the Purple Cloud Palace!"

He wanted to see just how the Dao Ancestor would react!

Zhou Ming looked at his high-spirited appearance and simply shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to have too high hopes."

"Perhaps, the moment you finish accepting your disciples, you'll have barely set off for the Purple Cloud Palace."

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord Yuanshi 'coincidentally' found another person with the Auspicious sign of a flying bear."

"Perhaps you two brothers will even 'bump into' each other in front of the Purple Cloud Palace."

These words made the Tongtian Sect Master's heart sink.

"It can't be... such a coincidence, can it?"

He said this with some hesitation.

How vast was the Primordial Wilderness?

The Chan and Jie Sects, searched almost the entire prehistoric Primordial Wilderness, but could not find a trace of them.

How could it be that the moment they found something, Primordial Lord's side immediately made a discovery as well?

What kind of coincidence could there be in this world?

If that's the case, then it's not a coincidence, but a blatant scheme!

Someone is manipulating all of this from behind the scenes!

Zhou Ming glanced at his ever-changing expression and simply waved his hand dismissively.

Who knows?

"This is just my guess, don't take it seriously."

"After all, the secrets of Heavenly Secrets are unpredictable; who can say for sure what the future holds?"

Alright, that's all I wanted to say.

"I'll take you to find someone now."

The Tongtian Sect Master suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind and nodded solemnly.

Regardless of whether Zhou Ming's guess is true or false, the most important thing right now is to take That One Person destined for the Tribulation under his wing!

This is the key to taking the initiative!

"Good!"

"Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist!"

Zhou Ming nodded.

Let's go.

The two figures faded away slowly within the main hall of the Jade Palace.

Zhou Ming didn't linger; with one step, he was already outside of Golden Ao Island.

The Tongtian Sect Master followed closely behind.

The two transformed into streaks of light, tearing through the clouds of the East Sea, and sped towards the vast and boundless Primordial Continent.
