Cultivating the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit!

Inside the vast Biyou Palace.

Duobao's expression was exceptionally resolute!

"This is excellent!"

Tongtian nodded slightly.

Although Duobao was later instigated to become the Tathagata of the West, his ultimate goal was still for the disciples of the Intercepting Sect.

No one could deny his sincere heart!

"The tribulation is about to arrive. As the senior disciple, I'm specifically giving you an Innate Spiritual Treasure for protection."

"Remember not to be provoked by others; be careful of traps!"

"When I'm in seclusion, you must remember to protect your fellow disciples."

Tongtian then summoned a spiritual treasure, shimmering with five-colored light, which appeared before Duobao.

Duobao carefully took the treasure and said with a determined gaze, "I will do my utmost to protect them!"

"If anyone wants to harm my junior brothers and sisters, they'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Duobao's words were filled with the spirit of a warrior charging forward without looking back.

"Next, I'll leave it to you. I need to go into seclusion. Remember, be cautious in all things!"

Tongtian said, looking at the Daoist Duobao.

"Master, please rest assured and go into seclusion. As long as I am here, the Intercepting Sect will endure!"

Duobao's expression carried the spirit of a hero embarking on a mission from which he would not return, he said firmly.

After arranging matters for the disciples of the Intercepting Sect, Tongtian returned to his cave dwelling to enter seclusion.

Now, he could set his mind at ease and focus on refining the power of the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

The moment the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit was completely refined would be when Tongtian became a Great Dao Saint!

"All of you, watch closely!"

"When I achieve the Great Dao Saint realm, it will be time for reckoning!"

Tongtian thought coldly, and then his Primordial Spirit entered his Purple Mansion.

Two treasures floated within Tongtian's Purple Mansion.

The first was the Destiny Dao Palace, the treasure of the Destiny Demon God!

Although the Destiny Dao Palace was damaged, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Its power was comparable to that of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

It was truly a marvelous artifact for combat!

After all, it was once a Chaos Spiritual Treasure; otherwise, how could it have caught the eye of a Chaos Demon God?

The second was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root: the Five Elements Purple Spirit Apricot.

As a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, it contained an immensely vast spiritual energy.

As long as one refined and absorbed the Five Elements Purple Spirit Apricot, their foundation and origin could be enhanced.

Even though it couldn't be used to Attain Dao, it was still very powerful.

However, Tongtian's cultivation had already reached the Half-step Great Dao Saint realm, so the effect of the Five Elements Purple Spirit Apricot was almost negligible.

Therefore, Tongtian placed the Five Elements Purple Spirit Apricot aside, not intending to refine it.

"There's no rush to reach the Great Dao Saint realm now. I'll cultivate the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit first!"

Tongtian made up his mind and began to focus on cultivating the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit.

Once the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was successfully cultivated, his magical power would reach a whole new level.

Tongtian sat down, an ancient aura constantly emanating from him. Simultaneously, ancient characters densely covered Tongtian's Primordial Spirit.

In that era when gods and demons roamed, Pangu's Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was the most formidable cultivation technique!

As the name suggested, this technique had nine stages.

Upon successfully cultivating to the Ninth Revolution, one could directly ascend to the peak of the Great Dao.

While the temptation to cultivate to the Ninth Revolution was immense, even Pangu himself had not reached the Ninth Revolution; otherwise, Pangu might still be alive today.

Bang!

Tongtian's talent was no weaker than Pangu's, and his foundation and origin had both received immense enhancements. His cultivation speed for the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was exceptionally rapid!

In just [time unit, e.g., a day]!

Tongtian had already reached the first stage of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit: the First Revolution!

Another month passed!

Tongtian reached the Second Revolution!

As a Half-step Great Dao Saint, Tongtian encountered virtually no obstacles in the early stages of cultivating the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit.

In the blink of an eye, time flew by.

Tongtian's aura grew stronger!

The third turn!

Four! Five!

BOOM!

The Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit reached the sixth turn!

Tongtian directly broke through to the sixth turn in one go, his power was astounding!

As Tongtian breathed, a puff of white turbid air was expelled, and his eyes contained the aura of a thunderous sword!

Although he had only reached the sixth turn, Tongtian's cultivation and physical body had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Even though Tongtian had not yet reached the realm of a Great Dao Saint, he could now fight against a Saint without relying on any magical treasures.

Truly worthy of the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit!

For anyone below the Saint realm to fight Tongtian would be no different than an ant fighting a dragon!

Based on his understanding of the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit, Tongtian firmly believed that as soon as he broke through to the seventh turn, he would then be able to ascend to the Great Dao Saint realm.

If he cultivated to the eighth turn, he would be able to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm!

If he cultivated to the ninth turn, he would be able to break through to the Great Dao Realm!

When the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was cultivated to perfection, one could transcend the Great Dao!

"With this cultivation technique, by the time I become a Great Dao Saint, even Taishang will not be my opponent!"

Hope flickered in Tongtian's eyes.

Among his fellow disciples, Taishang's cultivation was the strongest, second only to their master Hongjun.

As long as he cultivated to the seventh turn, surpassing Taishang would be a certainty!

At that time, even if Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa attacked together, Tongtian could easily fend them off!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations on breaking through to the sixth turn of the Heavenly Merit, successfully triggering a hidden choice."

"Option one: End your seclusion and venture out to explore the Primordial World. Reward: Northern Darkness Divine Shield (Houtian Supreme Treasure) and Mystic Light Ruler (Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure)."

"Option two: Continue your seclusion and refine the Dao Fruit. Reward: Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner and a full gourd of Three Lights Divine Water."

"Venture out to explore?"

In Tongtian's opinion, all the famous exploration spots in the Primordial World had been thoroughly scoured. Venturing out would yield no benefits.

Furthermore, Tongtian already possessed many treasures, so exploring further was meaningless.

The most important thing now was to break through to become a Saint.

Without Saints, the Intercepting Sect was destined to be annihilated during the great tribulation!

"I choose two!"

Tongtian said without hesitation. As he spoke, two treasures appeared within Tongtian's Purple Mansion.

Innate Spiritual Treasure: Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner!

Originally, this was part of a set of five banners. The remaining ones were the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, Southern Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner, Western Plain Cloud Boundary Banner, and Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner!

Most astonishingly, all five of these banners were Innate Spiritual Treasures!

If Tongtian could successfully collect all five banners, with his mastery of formations, he would become nearly invincible in the Primordial World!

Unfortunately, the other four banners were already held by various factions.

The Western Plain Cloud Boundary Banner seemed to be in the hands of Taishang's disciple, Xuandu. The Western Teachings and Yuxu Palace each possessed one as well.

Collecting all five banners would not be an easy task.
