The vast interior of Biyou Palace.
Duobao's expression was exceptionally resolute!
"That is excellent!"
Tongtian nodded slightly.
Although Duobao was later incited to become the Western Tathagata, his purpose was still to protect the disciples of the Interception Sect.
No one could deny the sincerity of his heart!
"The calamity is about to arrive. As the Senior Disciple Brother, I'm giving you an Innate Spiritual Treasure to defend yourself."
"Remember, don't let others provoke you. Be careful—they may have ulterior motives!"
"When I enter seclusion, remember even more to protect your fellow disciples."
As he spoke, a five-colored Spiritual Treasure appeared before Duobao.
Duobao carefully accepted the Spiritual Treasure and said resolutely, "I'll do everything in my power to protect them!"
"If anyone wants to harm my junior brothers and sisters, they'll have to step over my corpse first!"
Duobao's words were filled with the spirit of a fearless warrior.
"From here on, I'll leave everything to you. I have to enter seclusion. Remember, be careful in everything!"
Tongtian looked toward Duobao Daoist.
"Master, please enter seclusion without worry. As long as I'm here, the Interception Sect will remain!"
Duobao's expression carried the resolve of a warrior marching off to certain death as he spoke firmly.
After arranging matters concerning the disciples of the Interception Sect, Tongtian returned to his dwelling and entered seclusion.
Now, he could finally set his mind at ease and focus on refining the power of the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
The moment he finished refining the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit would be the moment Tongtian became a Great Dao Saint!
"Just wait and see!"
"When I become a Great Dao Saint, it will be time to settle old scores!"
Tongtian thought coldly as his primordial spirit entered his Violet Palace.
Two treasures floated within Tongtian's Violet Palace.
The first was the Destiny Dao Palace, the treasure of the Destiny Demon God!
Although the Destiny Dao Palace was already damaged, even a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Its might was on par with an Innate Supreme Treasure.
It was truly an extraordinary treasure for battling!
After all, it had once been 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 enormous amount of spiritual power.
As long as he refined and absorbed the Five Elements Purple Spirit Apricot, he could improve his foundation and Origin Power.
Although it could not be used to Attain Dao, it was still extremely powerful.
However, Tongtian's cultivation had already reached the Half-step Great Dao Saint level, so the effect the Five Elements Purple Spirit Apricot could have was almost negligible.
Thus, Tongtian stored the Five Elements Purple Spirit Apricot away and had no intention of refining it.
"There's no need to rush toward the Great Dao Saint Realm. I'll cultivate the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit first!"
Tongtian made up his mind and began focusing on cultivating the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit.
Once he successfully cultivated the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit, the richness of his magic power would definitely rise to another level.
Tongtian sat down, ancient aura continuously radiating from his body. At the same time, countless archaic characters densely covered his primordial spirit.
In the era when gods and demons ran rampant, Pangu's Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was the most powerful cultivation art!
As its name suggested, this cultivation art had nine realms.
If one successfully cultivated it to the Ninth Revolution, one could directly reach the peak of the Great Dao.
Although reaching the Ninth Revolution was immensely tempting, even Pangu himself had failed to cultivate to that realm. Otherwise, Pangu might still be alive today.
Boom!
Tongtian's talent was no weaker than Pangu's. Moreover, his foundation and Origin Power had both undergone tremendous enhancement, so his cultivation speed with the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was astonishingly fast!
Just one day later!
Tongtian had already reached the first realm of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit: the First Revolution Realm!
Another month passed!
Tongtian reached the Second Revolution Realm!
As a Half-step Great Dao Saint, Tongtian encountered virtually no obstacles cultivating the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit in its early stages.
In the blink of an eye, time flew by.
Tongtian's aura grew increasingly imposing!
The Third Revolution Realm!
Fourth! Fifth!
Boom!
The Sixth Revolution Realm of the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit!
Tongtian broke through directly to the Sixth Revolution Realm in one breath. He was astonishingly powerful!
As Tongtian breathed, he exhaled a mouthful of white Turbid Qi, while thunderous sword intent filled his eyes!
Although he had only reached the Sixth Revolution Realm, both Tongtian's cultivation and physical body had undergone earth-shaking changes!
Although Tongtian had yet to reach the Great Dao Saint Realm, he could already fight a Saint without relying on any treasures.
As expected of the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit!
If anyone below the Saint realm wanted to fight Tongtian, it would be no different from an ant trying to battle a coiling dragon!
Based on his understanding of the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit, Tongtian firmly believed that once he broke through to the Seventh Revolution Realm, he would be able to break through to the Great Dao Saint Realm.
Cultivating to the Eighth Revolution Realm would allow one to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm!
Cultivating to the Ninth Revolution Realm would allow one to break through to the Great Dao Realm!
Once the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit was cultivated to perfection, one could transcend the Great Dao!
"Relying on this cultivation art, once I become a Great Dao Saint, Taishang won't be my opponent either!"
A hopeful light flashed in Tongtian's eyes.
Among the several senior and junior brothers, Taishang's cultivation was the strongest, ranking just below their master, Hongjun.
Once he cultivated to the Seventh Revolution Realm, surpassing Taishang would be no problem!
At that time, even if Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa attacked together, Tongtian could easily hold them off!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on breaking through to the Sixth Revolution of the Heavenly Merit. You have successfully triggered a hidden choice."
"Option One: End your seclusion and venture out to explore the wilderness. Reward: Northern Darkness Divine Shield (Houtian Supreme Treasure) and Profound 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 one entire gourd of Three Lights Divine Water."
"Venture out to explore?"
In Tongtian's view, all the famous places in the wilderness had already been excavated thoroughly. Exploring them would yield no benefit at all.
Even taking a step back, Tongtian already possessed plenty of treasures. Going out to explore would be meaningless.
The most important thing now was to break through to sainthood.
Without a Saint, the Interception Sect was destined to be reduced to ashes beneath the great calamity!
"I choose option two!"
Tongtian spoke without hesitation. As soon as he finished, two treasures appeared inside his Violet Palace.
Innate Spiritual Treasure: Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner!
This had originally been one of five banners. The others 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 astonishing of all, all five banners were Innate Spiritual Treasures!
If Tongtian could successfully gather all five banners, then, relying on his attainments in formations, he would have few rivals in the wilderness!
Unfortunately, the other four banners were all held by various factions.
The Western Plain Cloud Boundary Banner seemed to be in the hands of Taishang's disciple, Xuandu, while the Western Teachings and Yuxu Palace each possessed one of the others.
Gathering all five banners would not be easy.
