An encounter before Purple Cloud Palace

In the Depths of Chaos, all has remained unchanged since time immemorial.

The ancient and magnificent palace floats silently in the endless Chaos currents, unchanged since time immemorial.

A sharp, cyan sword light tore through the Chaos airflow and came to a steady stop in front of the ancient and magnificent palace.

The sword light faded, revealing the figure of the Tongtian Sect Master.

After settling Jiang Ziya in, he didn't linger for a moment and went straight there.

However, he had barely arrived and hadn't even stepped through the palace gates yet.

Not far behind, from the Chaos, a dazzling Golden Light also tore through the void and arrived in an instant.

As the Golden Light faded, the figure of Yuanshi Tianzun appeared.

When the Tongtian Sect Master saw the figure of the Yuanshi Tianzun, he couldn't help but pause slightly.

Yuanshi Tianzun was equally stunned when he saw Tongtian Sect Master.

The two stood facing each other in front of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Tongtian and couldn't help but frown.

Why did he come to the Purple Cloud Palace?

"Tongtian, what brings you here?"

His voice carried a hint of displeasure and accusation.

The moment the Master of Tongtian Sect Master saw the Yuanshi Tianzun appear, his heart sank.

It's here!

It's really here!

Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming's somewhat teasing words echoed in his mind once again.

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

chance encounter?

What kind of coincidence could there be in this world!

No sooner had he accepted a disciple with the help of Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming than Primordial Lord "coincidentally" arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Could it be true, as Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming said, that Primordial Lord has also found another person with the Auspicious sign of a flying bear?

Could it be... that the Dao Ancestor is truly plotting against my Interception Sect?

Did the Dao Ancestor truly not want to see the Jie Sect take control of the Investiture of the Gods of the Interception Sect and safely pass through the Tribulation?

A series of thoughts exploded in the Tongtian Sect Master's mind, leaving him in a state of utter confusion.

No!

Impossible!

How could the Dao Ancestor scheme against his own disciple?

There must be some misunderstanding!

The Tongtian Sect Master forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart; he still refused to believe that the Dao Ancestor would use such methods to deal with him.

He decided to see and hear for himself what the Dao Ancestor would say.

Once the thought arose, it could no longer be contained and grew wildly in his heart.

Seeing that the Tongtian Sect Master remained silent and stared at him intently, Yuanshi Tianzun's displeasure intensified.

"Tongtian! Your brother is asking you a question!"

"What, you can't even be bothered to talk to your own Elder Brother anymore?"

The Tongtian Sect Master finally came to his senses, suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind, and calmly spoke.

"Second brother is joking."

"I've come here, naturally, to pay my respects to my teacher and retrieve the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip."

"But what brings you, Second Brother, to the Purple Cloud Palace?"

Upon hearing Tongtian say that he was coming to retrieve the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun was first taken aback, then seemed to have heard some huge joke.

"Retrieve the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Tongtian, have you lost your mind?"

"You haven't even found the Person destined for the Tribulation, what right do you have to ask the Dao Ancestor for the Investiture of the Gods the Gods?"

Primordial Lord's words were filled with certainty.

In his view, Tongtian's arrival was nothing more than an attempt to cause trouble in front of the Dao Ancestor.

The Tongtian Sect Master sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.

Who said I didn't find it?

"That Person destined for the Tribulation, bearing the ' Auspicious sign of a flying bear,' has been taken under my wing and made my last disciple."

"Impossible!"

Without a second thought, Yuanshi Tianzun categorically denied it.

"I have clearly found the Person destined for the Tribulation, and he has become my disciple!"

"How could you possibly have found the Person destined for the Tribulation?"

At this moment, the heart of the Tongtian Sect Master sank completely.

Just as Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming predicted!

Primordial Lord truly found another so-called "Auspicious sign of a flying bear"!

That so-called "chance encounter," that so-called "coincidence," was not a coincidence at all!

What a coincidence!

If there wasn't some scheming behind this, Tongtian the first to disbelieve it!

But he maintained a calm expression.

Looking at the confident expression on Yuanshi Tianzun's face, he suddenly found it somewhat laughable.

Why can't it be impossible?

"Elder Brother, if you can find the Person destined for the Tribulation, why can't I?"

Yuanshi Tianzun firmly believed in his own judgment, and he firmly believed that the Mandate of Heaven was in the Clarify Sect.

"Impossible! The Person destined for the Tribulation is born with the Fortune of Heavenly Dao, and is the key to this Tribulation. How could there be two of them!"

"I have already taken the Person destined for the Tribulation under my wing; the one you found must be a fake!"

Fake?

Jiang Ziya was personally instructed by Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, and I witnessed it with my own eyes.

The "Auspicious sign of a flying bear" on his body is closely related to the great Tribulation Qi, and cannot be faked in the slightest.

If it's fake, then I'm afraid...

Who knows?

The Tongtian Sect Master spoke slowly.

"Perhaps there are two Person destined for the Tribulation this Tribulation?"

Or perhaps...

He glanced meaningfully at Yuanshi Tianzun.

"The one you found is the fake one?"

These words thoroughly enraged Yuanshi Tianzun.

For him, this was not only a questioning of his vision, but also an insult to his ability to deduce the Saint!

"Nonsense!"

"The Yuanshi Tianzun roared in anger."

"That disciple of mine was discovered by me personally through divination of Heavenly Secrets and by following the Karma; how could it be false!"

"I think your disciple of unknown origin is the fake one!"

Deducing the Heavenly Secrets!

When these four words came from the mouth of Yuanshi Tianzun, the last bit of doubt in the heart of Tongtian Sect Master vanished.

In his quest to find the Person destined for the Tribulation, he exhausted all his efforts and deduced countless Heavenly Secrets, but all he found was utter Chaos and no clue whatsoever.

But now, with Zhou Ming's help, they have just found Jiang Ziya.

Did the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable "coincidentally" sense the Heavenly Secrets and find another Person destined for the Tribulation?

The Heavenly Secrets change so quickly!

At this moment, the last glimmer of hope that the Tongtian Sect Master held for Hongjun was completely shattered.

He finally had to admit it.

Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming is right.

From the very beginning, this was a setup.

A trap set for his Interception Sect!

His Interception Sect was too powerful, so powerful that it displeased the Dao Ancestor.

Therefore, his Interception Sect must be on the list, and must become the sacrifice in this Tribulation!

The so-called "the Chan and Jie Sects each rely on their own abilities" is a joke from beginning to end!

An uncontrollable anger and sorrow surged within him.

But he knew that now was not the time to act out.

He wanted to see how they were going to continue this charade!

The Tongtian Sect Master took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions, and instead revealed a playful smile on his face.

Who knows?

"Perhaps there really are two Person destined for the Tribulation?"

"The Heavenly Dao are mysterious and profound; how could you and I possibly fully fathom them?"

"That's utter nonsense!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was taken aback by Tongtian's words; he had never considered such a possibility.

In his view, the destiny ordained by Heaven must be unique.

Tongtian waved his hand dismissively.

"There's no point in us arguing here any longer."

"To find out who is real and who is fake, and who is qualified to control the Investiture of the Gods, we should go in and ask the Dao Ancestor. Then everything will be clear."

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly.

"Hmph! That's exactly what I was thinking!"

In his view, the disciple he found through Heavenly Secrets must be a true successor to the Heavenly Dao Way.

That guy who appeared out of nowhere, Tongtian, is definitely fake.

When they meet the Dao Ancestor, everything will be clear. The power to confer the Investiture of the Gods will ultimately fall into the hands of the Clarify Sect.

"Then let the Dao Ancestor judge!"

Having said that, Yuanshi Tianzun flicked his sleeves, no longer paying attention to Tongtian, and took the lead in stepping into the Purple Cloud Palace, which exuded endless Dao Rhyme.

The Tongtian Sect Master watched his confident back, his face expressionless, but his heart was filled with coldness.

He followed closely behind, stepping into the familiar yet now utterly alien palace.

The next chapter will be posted later.
