I understand

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, all was silent.

In the center of the main hall, two magical Magic Treasure exuding a mysterious aura floated silently in mid-air.

It is precisely the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip.

As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun stepped into the main hall, his entire mind was captivated by the two Magic Treasure.

His breathing became somewhat rapid at that moment.

The Investiture of the Gods! The God-Beating Whip!

Finally... finally, it's going to fall into the hands of my Clarify Sect!

Once they obtain these two treasures, the Clarify Sect will be able to completely seize the initiative in this Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation and gain the upper hand!

In this Tribulation, his Clarify Sect is destined to win!

Unlike the excitement of the Yuanshi Tianzun, the Tongtian Sect Master merely glanced at the two Magic Treasure indifferently.

He then looked away and paid no further attention.

From the moment he stepped into the Purple Cloud Palace, he already understood.

This qualification to wield the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods has absolutely nothing to do with him or his Interception Sect.

Just then, on the High Platform at the end of the main hall, space slightly Distortion System.

Dao Body appeared silently.

He sat upright on the Cushion, as if he had been there since the beginning of time.

It blended seamlessly with the entire Purple Cloud Palace.

It was none other than the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor."

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master bowed in respect at the same time.

Hongjun's emotionless gaze swept over the two of them.

"Why have you two come to the Purple Cloud Palace instead of cultivating in the Dao Field?"

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately stepped forward and bowed in respect.

"Reporting to the Dao Ancestor!"

"This disciple has successfully fulfilled his mission and has found the Person destined for the Tribulation who bears the ' Auspicious sign of a flying bear '!"

"This disciple has come precisely to request the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip from the Dao Ancestor, so that I may preside over the great undertaking of the Investiture of the Gods!"

His words were brimming with confidence, as if the Investiture of the Gods was already his for the taking.

Upon hearing his words, the Tongtian Sect Master could only sneer inwardly.

But he remained calm and spoke as well.

"Reporting to Master, I have also found the Person destined for the Tribulation bears the ' Auspicious sign of a flying bear."

"I've come here, also for the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip."

After they finished speaking, they both looked up at Hongjun on the High Platform and quietly awaited his verdict.

A brief silence fell over the main hall.

The heart of the Yuanshi Tianzun was filled with anticipation.

In the heart of the Tongtian Sect Master, only coldness remained.

After a long while, Hongjun's indifferent and empty words slowly rang out.

"In this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation of the Person destined for the Tribulation."

"Of the two of you, surely one of you has found something false."

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's confidence grew even stronger.

Fake?

That must be the one Tongtian was looking for!

His own disciple was someone he had personally deduced the secrets of Heavenly Secrets; how could it be false!

The Tongtian Sect Master sneered inwardly.

What a dramatic show of distinguishing truth from falsehood!

Hongjun continued to ask.

"What are the names of the Person destined for the Tribulation?"

Yuanshi Tianzun answered first, respectfully.

"Reporting to the Dao Ancestor, the Person destined for the Tribulation is named Shen Gongbao!"

The Tongtian Sect Master raised his head, meeting Hongjun's indifferent gaze, and spoke, word by word.

"The person I have taken in is named Jiang Shang, courtesy name Ziya."

After hearing their answers, Hongjun's eyes, which were no different from the Heavenly Dao, remained completely unmoved.

"Shen Gongbao is the Person destined for the Tribulation to face this Tribulation."

"In that case, the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip shall be under the control of your Clarify Sect."

The moment the words left his mouth.

Hongjun waved his hand casually.

The Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, which were suspended in mid-air, transformed into two streams of light and flew straight toward the Yuanshi Tianzun.

Really!

The Mandate of Heaven rests with my Clarify Sect!

Overjoyed, Yuanshi Tianzun quickly reached out and steadily caught the two treasures in his hands.

"Thank you Dao Ancestor!"

"This disciple will certainly live up to the Dao Ancestor's high expectations and will definitely complete this great undertaking of Investiture of the Gods!"

Meanwhile, the Tongtian Sect Master watched this scene quietly.

Looking at the ecstatic expression of Yuanshi Tianzun, and at Hongjun on the High Platform who remained expressionless, he was filled with joy and sorrow.

He suddenly realized that all of this was so absurd, so ridiculous.

Ridiculous!

This is utterly ridiculous!

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun was still immersed in immense joy, Tongtian Sect Master's calm voice suddenly rang out.

"May I ask about my Dao Ancestor?"

"My disciple Jiang Ziya also possesses the Auspicious sign of a flying bear."

"Since he is connected to the Tribulation Qi, why can't he be the Person destined for the Tribulation?"

"May I ask, Dao Ancestor, what is the basis for judging Person destined for the Tribulation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately rebuked him.

"Tongtian!"

"What do you mean by that? Are you questioning the Dao Ancestor's decision?!"

Yuanshi Tianzun gripped the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip tightly in his hands, fearing that Tongtian might cause trouble and lead to unforeseen changes.

The Tongtian Sect Master didn't even glance at him, but stubbornly and calmly stared at Hongjun.

"Second brother has misunderstood."

"I dare not question the Dao Ancestor."

"I simply have some doubts in my mind and wish to ask the Dao Ancestor to clarify them for me, that's all."

"The Dao Ancestor once said that those Person destined for the Tribulation possess the Auspicious sign of a flying bear."

"Now, in this Primordial Wilderness, two people who also possess the Auspicious sign of a flying bear have appeared, and my second brother and I have each taken them as our disciples."

"Why are the disciples under my second brother's tutelage the Person destined for the Tribulation to face calamity?"

"And my disciple Jiang Ziya, isn't he?"

"There must be a reason for this. I humbly request that the Dao Ancestor enlighten this disciple."

Yuanshi Tianzun glared at Tongtian, finding him utterly unreasonable and rebellious!

The judgment of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun is the will of Heaven!

How can you so easily question the will of Heaven?

However, when faced with Tongtian's persistent questioning, Hongjun on the High Platform remained completely unmoved, his eternally indifferent face showing no emotion whatsoever.

He simply spoke slowly.

"Those Person destined for the Tribulation, besides possessing the ' Auspicious sign of a flying bear,' must also be blessed by Heaven."

"Shen Gongbao is blessed with a divine mandate; therefore, he is destined to Person destined for the Tribulation."

Destiny has smiled upon me.

What a blessed destiny!

What is destiny?

What Heavenly Dao decrees is its mandate.

And you, Hongjun, Dao Integration, to some extent represent the Heavenly Dao.

In the end, isn't it all just a matter of what you say?

Whoever you wish to be blessed with destiny, will be blessed with destiny.

He remained silent for a long time, and just when Yuanshi Tianzun thought he was going to continue his unreasonable arguments, Tongtian Sect Master slowly nodded.

There wasn't even a trace of anger or resentment on his face.

There was only a bottomless calm.

"Disciple understands."

After saying this, he straightened up and never looked at Yuanshi Tianzun or Hongjun again.

He turned around, said nothing, and strode towards the outside of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun stared at his departing figure, slightly taken aback.

Is that all?

Are you giving up already?

He had expected Tongtian to make a huge scene, but to his surprise, Tongtian accepted it so easily.

However, this is a good thing for him.

He carefully put away the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, and respectfully bowed to Hongjun.

"This disciple takes his leave."

Having said that, he turned around and left Purple Cloud Palace with high spirits.

Inside the main hall, the eternal, deathly silence returned once more.

Only the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained, sitting quietly on the High Platform, merging with the entire Chaos.
