Unlike the intense battle raging outside the island, the aura moving through the palace had calmed down.
The Dao Fruit had been completely absorbed by Tongtian. At the moment its final trace of power seeped into Tongtian's body,
he had successfully broken through to the realm of a Great Dao Saint!
What made Tongtian happiest was that his cultivation had advanced two entire stages at once!
A Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal (Great Dao Saint) had a total of nine stages.
Before Tongtian had discarded his Sage position, he had been at the third stage of a Great Dao Saint, on equal footing with Yuanshi.
Tongtian had originally thought the Dao Fruit could only raise his cultivation to the first stage, but it had turned out to be incredibly powerful!
When Tongtian broke through to become a Great Dao Saint, his cultivation directly reached the second stage of a Great Dao Saint!
"Ha ha ha!"
Tongtian was overjoyed. He had originally thought he would have to start cultivating again from the first stage.
Boom!
When the Dao Fruit finished refining, it was also the moment Tongtian Attained Dao!
Tongtian had not used Primordial Violet Qi to become a Saint, so there was no grand commotion such as the Heavenly Dao manifesting.
Even so, Biyou Palace could not conceal Tongtian's powerful aura!
Tongtian released a mighty aura that instantly enveloped Golden Ao Island, causing the experts throughout the Primordial World to change expressions!
"Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered a hidden option."
"Option One: Choose to ignore it and not take action, obtaining a Space Law Origin Fragment, plus a Cloud-Piercing Shuttle (Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure), plus a Life-Breathing Platform (Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure)."
"Option Two: Take action and reprimand the three Saints, obtaining a Dao-Slaying Heavenly Sword (Great Dao-level Sword Dao divine ability), a Sword Dao Law Origin Fragment, plus a
Purple Mansion Nine-Patterned Peach (Chaos Spirit Root)."
Seeing the two options, Tongtian did not even look at the rewards listed afterward before directly choosing Option Two.
Choose to ignore it?
How could that be possible?
Even if I agreed to ignore it, my disciples certainly would not. During this period of seclusion, Tongtian had already endured the three of them for far too long.
The three Saints were so despicable and shameless, and they were even bullying their juniors. How could he tolerate that? If he did not properly teach the three of them a lesson, how could he hold his head up before his disciples in the future?
After Tongtian chose Option Two, only a Purple Mansion Nine-Patterned Peach appeared in his Violet Mansion.
However, Tongtian directly learned the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Sword in his mind!
The Sword Dao Law Origin Fragment was refined as well, directly strengthening Tongtian's Sword Dao origin ninefold!
Tongtian had already specialized in Sword Dao. Now that he had the help of the Origin Fragment, it was simply like adding wings to a tiger!
At that moment, Tongtian did not carefully experience the changes. He went straight to Golden Ao Island.
Rumble!
Tongtian stood in the void, waves of terrifying aura radiating from him. Even the might of three Saints could not compare to Tongtian's alone!
"It's Master!"
"Master has finally finished his seclusion!"
All the disciples on Golden Ao Island instantly became excited.
Now let's see who still dares bully us!
"Master, you must seek justice for Senior Brother Duobao!"
The disciples on Golden Ao Island shouted in unison.
"Please, Master, you must seek justice for Senior Brother Duobao!"
The disciples of the Interception Sect repeated themselves again and again.
Hearing the Interception Sect disciples' cries, Tongtian instantly erupted with a terrifying aura!
At that moment, the aura of Tongtian's second-stage Great Dao Saint realm was revealed.
In the void above Golden Ao Island,
the matter of the three Great Dao Saints joining forces to attack Golden Ao Island had already attracted the attention of nearly ninety percent of the mighty figures in the Primordial World.
They had now sensed the formidable might of Tongtian's Sage power. If their expressions could be seen at that moment, they would certainly all be wide-eyed and dumbfounded.
"Has Tongtian recovered his Sage position?!"
"If that's the case, then I still can't break through to become a Heavenly Dao Sage?"
Deep in the sea, Kunpeng roared loudly in extreme unwillingness.
The Heavenly Dao strictly controlled the number of Saints. But now that Tongtian had recovered his Sage position, did that mean he, Kunpeng, was destined to have no connection with Sainthood?
Atop a mountain range, Wuzhuang Temple stood there.
Zhenyuanzi was also deeply shaken. He muttered to himself, "Tongtian really is an incredible man!"
"Alas, my brother doesn't have such good fortune and has ended up in such a miserable state."
After saying this with a regretful expression, Zhenyuanzi let out a long sigh that lingered for a long time.
Within Spirit Vulture Mountain, which no longer even resembled a mountain peak,
Randeng's face was also filled with terror.
Had Tongtian really recovered his Sage position?
If so, could the three Saints—Yuanshi, Zhunti, and Jieyin—still suppress Tongtian?
If they could not suppress him, would the Chan Sect not have to bear Tongtian's furious wrath?
"It won't happen! Even if Tongtian really returns to the Sage position,"
"his cultivation definitely won't return to its former strength all at once. Lord of the Beginning can certainly deal with him!"
Randeng's expression was extremely grim. He comforted himself aloud, yet the more he did so, the more panicked he became.
If Tongtian had reached the realm of a Great Dao Saint, and had the support of the God-Slaying Spear and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, could the three Saints together truly defeat him?
Within the boundless Blood Sea, where blood-red waves soared to the heavens,
Minghe's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Tongtian had discarded his Sage position himself, giving them a chance to seek the Dao of Sainthood.
But chances vanished in an instant. It had only been a short while, yet that opportunity was already gone.
"This Tongtian... is he really that monstrous?"
Minghe's face was filled with regret. I really was born unlucky...
Nearby, Taishang hid in space and watched the show.
Taishang's face was also filled with astonishment, his mouth hanging wide open.
He had really returned to the Sage position?
My heavens!
How was that possible?
If Tongtian had Attained Dao again, why had the Heavenly Dao shown no sign of manifesting at all?
Could it be that Tongtian had not become a Heavenly Dao Sage, but had instead become a Great Dao Saint?
If that was really the case, everything made sense!
The Heavenly Dao hated Great Dao Saints immensely. Even if the Heavenly Dao manifested, it would be to punish Tongtian!
In a space beside Taishang,
Nuwa's immortal aura billowed around her face, which was filled with shock and confusion.
She had investigated it very clearly.
It was true!
Tongtian's Sage position had indeed been restored, but his current realm was one stage lower than it had been before!
So, had Tongtian recovered, but not completely?
"I was wrong!"
"After Tongtian discarded his Sage position, he should have had to start cultivating again from the first stage!"
"Could it be that Tongtian broke through directly to the second stage?"
Nuwa finished muttering to herself, her beautiful face filled with disbelief...
