Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, it suddenly became quiet.
Hongjun speaks, but no one dares to reply.
They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Hongjun's eyes slowly swept across the five people. "You are acting like this, how do you proceed Investiture of the Gods Calamity?"
Soon, Taishang was the first to get up.
He slowly walked up to Investiture of the Gods. The scroll of Purple Gold List was suspended in the air, exuding the aura of Heavenly Dao.
He raised his hand, gathered fresh air on his fingertips, and wrote four words one stroke at a time on the list.
Lord Taishang.
"Master," Taishang turned around and bowed in salute, "I, Human Teachings, have only one Xuandu disciple. In this case, I would like to incarnate Lord Taishang on the list to answer the tribulation on behalf of Xuandu."
It is impossible for him to let his disciple Xuandu join that Investiture of the Gods. It is too late to accept a disciple now.
Hongjun nodded slightly. "Yes."
Yuanshi Tianzun was the second to get up.
He walked up to Investiture of the Gods, his face solemn, but he did not hesitate. Jade Purity Immortal Light was running through his fingertips, and writing a few named disciples on the list was insignificant.
Then write down another name, Chiting.
Chiting is the only disciple he has accepted who has the body of a monster.
Yuanshi doesn't think much of him, so it's only appropriate to use him to fill in the rankings at this moment.
Most of my disciples, Chan Sect, are True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue, so they are not allowed to be on the list. These named disciples are considered to be friends with Chiting.
Tongtian sneered in his heart.
Yuanshi This is obviously being a rogue, and only writes about some unimportant people.
But he didn't have an attack, he just waited quietly.
It's Tongtian's turn.
The eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on him.
Tongtian slowly stood up and walked to Investiture of the Gods.
He looked at the names on the list, looked at the purple-gold brilliance, and seemed to see countless disciples being bound by true spirits, and being driven by others forever and ever.
"Master," Tongtian said, his voice calm, "I Interception Sect... I don't belong to Investiture of the Gods."
Six words, like thunder!
"What?!" Yuanshi was the first to shout angrily, "Tongtian, how dare you disobey Master's decree?!"
Zhunti also jumped up and pointed at Tongtian: "Master! He Tongtian, as Heavenly Dao Saint, should uphold the Heavenly Dao law! The way he behaves today is simply not taking Heavenly Dao seriously! How can such behavior be worthy of being a saint?!"
Jieyin put his hands together and said the Buddha's name, "Amitabha...Senior Brother Tongtian, think twice."
Hongjun's expression finally changed.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Tongtian.
"Tongtian," Hongjun looked at Tongtian and spoke slowly, "Say it again."
Tongtian raised his head and looked directly at Hongjun: "Disciple said, I, Interception Sect, cannot enter Investiture of the Gods."
"Boom!"
Within the Purple Cloud Palace, Saintly Might breaks out!
Hongjun Dao Rhythm was rolling around, and the whole palace was trembling, as if Heavenly Dao was furious!
"Do you know... what are you talking about?"
Hongjun's face was expressionless, but his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
"Disciple knows." Tongtian is not afraid, "But disciple knows even more that disciples accepted those Interception Sect disciples one by one and watched them grow up. When they call me Master, I have the responsibility to protect them!"
He turned around suddenly and pointed at Zhunti: "Why can Western Teachings stay out of the matter? Why can they avoid disaster if they set up their own business?!"
Zhunti's face changed, and he argued forcefully. "I, Western Teachings, have left Mystic Gate with the permission of my master! What do I have to do with you Interception Sect?"
"Leave Mystic Gate?" Tongtian sneered, "Zhunti, when you were listening to the sermon at the Purple Cloud Palace, why didn't you say you wanted to leave Mystic Gate?"
"You practice the Mystic Gate technique, and what you understand is Mystic Gate Great Dao. Now you just want to break away from it, and you want to cut off the relationship? How can there be such a good thing in the world!"
He pointed at Yuanshi again. "And you, Yuanshi! This calamity was obviously caused by you, Chan Sect Disciple!"
"If it weren't for those disciples under your sect causing trouble everywhere, how could Haotian complain? Why should I, Interception Sect, be responsible for this Karma?!"
Yuanshi blushed. "Tongtian! Don't stop spitting on me!"
"Am I slandering others?" Tongtian laughed, the laughter was sad, "Yuanshi, I know you very well! All of your disciples have eyes above their heads and regard all living beings as ants! Have they not caused enough trouble?"
"But you always protected me. Now that you are fine, you cause a big trouble and you want me to wipe your ass?!"
"That's enough!" Hongjun shouted.
Saintly Might is like a sea, pressing Five Saints back together.
Only Tongtian gritted his teeth and stood erect, not taking a step back.
Hongjun stared at Tongtian, the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified.
He was really murderous.
Tongtian, how dare you defy him so blatantly, this trend cannot last forever!
But in the end, he endured it.
It is easy to kill Tongtian, but the consequences are too serious.
Three Pure Ones is the incarnation of Pangu's Primordial Spirit. He is blessed with great luck, and anyone who kills him will suffer backlash.
Hongjun took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and said slowly, "Tongtian, this Investiture of the Gods... do you sign it, or not?"
This sentence is an ultimatum.
Tongtian looked at Hongjun, his heart felt cold.
In the eyes of Master, the operation of Heavenly Dao is above all else, and it is fair and not worth mentioning.
"Disciple..." Tongtian said in a solemn voice, "I won't sign."
Two words, decisive.
Hongjun closed his eyes for a long time before slowly opening them.
"In that case..." His voice regained its calmness, and his words were cold, "Let's all rely on our abilities in this calamity."
He looked at Five Saints: "All of your disciples have the possibility of being on the list. Life and death, blessings and misfortunes, all depend on their destiny."
After that, he waved his hand, and Investiture of the Gods and God-Beating Whip flew towards Yuanshi.
"Yuanshi, these two items will be handed over to you for safekeeping. Five hundred years later, the calamity will officially begin."
He paused and added, "In addition, the person who can unlock Investiture of the Gods is responsible for Sign of the Flying Bear. You can do it for yourself."
After the words fell, Hongjun's figure slowly faded and finally disappeared.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace, silence returns.
Yuanshi took over Investiture of the Gods and God-Beating Whip, feeling both happy and worried.
Fortunately, the master entrusted him with such a valuable treasure for safekeeping, and he obviously valued him more. Worryingly, Tongtian was so decisive, once the calamity started...
He looked at Tongtian and said coldly, "Junior brother Tongtian, please take care of yourself."
After that, he walked away.
Taishang took a deep look at Tongtian, hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed and left.
Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, Zhunti smiled and said, "Senior Brother Tongtian, since you insist on this, then let's measure the calamity and see the truth."
The two of them saluted together and stepped out Purple Cloud Palace.
Tongtian was the only one left in the hall.
He stood there without moving for a long time.
"Each one depends on his ability... Each one accepts his destiny..."
Tongtian murmured to himself.
He, Interception Sect Ten Thousand Immortals, would rather die on the battlefield than kneel on the list!
Tongtian turned around and strode out Purple Cloud Palace.
