Self-Abolishing Sage Position!

Outside Golden Ao Island, where things had temporarily calmed down.

The Four Sages were all stunned, not expecting Tongtian to utter such nonsense. Wasn't this a complete joke?

The Sage position was something the entire world was willing to give up everything for, even their lives without hesitation.

And Tongtian was actually saying he didn't want the Sage position anymore?!

Zhunti chuckled, "Senior Brother Tongtian is truly generous, isn't he? Heh!"

"Can we really just discard the Sage position we fought so hard to obtain?"

Yuanshi's face was filled with mockery as he coldly laughed, "He's just putting on an act. Who in the world would be willing to give up the Sage position?"

"He's just seeking attention!"

Taishang was speechless. After a moment, he said, "Tongtian is just a stubborn dung beetle. Since he's unwilling to join the Investiture of the Gods, then as Master Hongjun said, he can fend for himself!"

With that, Taishang also left Zixiao Palace.

Jieyin and Zhunti also prepared to leave and return to the Western Teachings.

The Western Teachings had also signed the Investiture of the Gods. Before the calamity arrived, they needed to plan carefully, minimizing losses as much as possible, even to the point of having no losses.

"Heh, not wanting the Sage position?"

"This is the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard!"

Yuanshi sneered with sharp eyes, then he too left the East Sea.

At this moment, within the vast Biyou Palace.

Tongtian's eyes flickered, his heart filled with killing intent.

The numerous disciples of the Intercepting Sect were more than enough to fill the Investiture of the Gods, but he, Tongtian, was not someone to be bullied!

The Intercepting Sect was all his life's work!

"Let me see just how far your hypocritical realm has reached!"

Tongtian said coldly and slowly.

"Master, this disciple seeks an audience."

Duobao, Tongtian's personal disciple, and Zhao Gongming, the eldest outer disciple, came to seek an audience.

Thus, Tongtian opened the palace gates.

"Master, what is the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Why are Grandmaster and the senior uncles forcing us to sign the Investiture of the Gods?"

The two disciples asked with full of confusion, not understanding.

Tongtian let out a light sigh, "Sigh... I'll tell you both about it..."

After the two disciples learned the origin of the matter, they asked with great worry, "Then how should we respond?"

"I'm going into seclusion for a while. Be careful in all matters, especially with the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Western Teachings. Don't fall for their tricks. When I emerge from seclusion, I will fear no calamity!"

Tongtian's expression was resolute as he instructed his disciples.

"As you command, Master!"

"During this period, we will certainly be cautious and await good news!"

With that, Duobao and Zhao Gongming bowed deeply and withdrew from Tongtian's Biyou Palace.

Tongtian sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, looking at the items rewarded by the God-tier System.

Primordial Violet Qi, one of the divine fruits that aided cultivation. With the help of the violet qi, one could break through to the Heavenly Dao Sage realm faster.

However, Tongtian had already decided to walk the path of a Great Dao Saint, so he naturally had no use for the Primordial Violet Qi in this regard.

But the Primordial Violet Qi had many other uses. As long as it was successfully refined into his body, he could perfect his own Great Dao foundation and improve his talent.

Primordial Innate Supreme Treasure: God-Slaying Spear. It was precisely with the help of the God-Slaying Spear that Tongtian could calmly deal with the pressure from the Four Sages. The power of a Supreme Treasure was terrifying!

The Chaos Spirit Fruit looked like a ball of light emanating a sacred aura, capable of temporarily boosting Tongtian's own strength.

Finally, there was the most important Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit. A human-like silhouette could be seen within the light. This was the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit!

As long as he refined it, Tongtian could reach the Great Dao Saint realm.

A Great Dao Saint was a more powerful existence than a Heavenly Dao Sage!

The strength of a Heavenly Dao Sage was still subject to suppression by the Heavenly Dao, preventing them from fully unleashing their power. However, a Great Dao Saint would not be restricted.

During the process of refining the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit, a continuous stream of saintly might emanated, shocking those with ulterior motives.

"Hahaha, they probably can't believe I would really give up the Sage position, can they?"

"Today, I'll show you hypocrites my resolve!"

With that, Tongtian slowly closed his eyes and lifted the Dao Fruit with spiritual energy within his purple mansion.

The Dao Fruit emanated a terrifying power, revealing the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

This is the Heavenly Dao's rules imposing restrictions!

Heavenly Dao Sages are merely attached to the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao insists on something, a Heavenly Dao Sage cannot defy it.

Otherwise, a Heavenly Dao Sage would suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

However, a Great Dao Saint would not have such concerns and would not be completely controlled by the Heavenly Dao.

Whether a Great Dao Saint can fight against the power of the Heavenly Dao is still unknown, but they certainly wouldn't have their vital weakness seized by the Heavenly Dao.

"Absorb!"

Tongtian immediately opened his eyes, which emanated sword light.

BOOM!

Vast spiritual energy transformed into a large hand, enveloping the Dao Fruit and beginning to slowly refine the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

An endless stream of power was madly absorbed by Tongtian. His Purple Mansion trembled continuously, and even traces of blood seeped from his body.

"Today, I will shatter this Sage position!"

BOOM! The spiritual energy violently impacted his own Dao Fruit, but the power of the Heavenly Dao was also continuously repairing it.

"Break for me!"

Tongtian roared, and surging sword light struck the Dao Fruit.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, the Dao Fruit instantly exploded.

The Heavenly Dao is immortal, and Sages do not die.

However, the Dao Fruit belongs to the Sage themselves. The Heavenly Dao cannot interfere with a Sage's actions of self-crippling their Dao Fruit.

With the Dao Fruit destroyed, the Heavenly Dao instantly manifested a pair of giant eyes – the Eye of the Heavenly Dao!

Across the vast Primordial World, a pair of eyes now loomed, covering half of it.

At the same time, a cold and mechanical voice rang out.

"Sect Master Tongtian has voluntarily crippled his Dao Fruit."

BOOM!

Everyone in the entire Primordial World was shocked by this news!

The Dao Fruit could be crippled just like that?

Tongtian had actually destroyed his own Sage position?

"Hahaha! The Sage position is mine! Heaven blesses Kunpeng! Heaven blesses me, Kunpeng!"

In the unfathomably deep sea of chaos, a voice, already driven mad by laughter, echoed in all directions.

Meanwhile, within Wa Huang Palace.

Nuwa was also filled with shock. The path to becoming a Sage was fraught with peril. Why would Tongtian so easily give up his Sage position?

Similarly, within Yuxu Palace.

Lord of the Beginning truly couldn't believe it. Crippled, it was truly crippled!

He was actually willing to give up the Sage position! He actually did it!

In the Western world, within Mount Sumeru.

Zhunti and Jieyin also abruptly opened their eyes, their gazes filled with elation.

"Hahaha! Heaven blesses our West!"

"Without the Sage position, your Intercepting Sect is already on the path to ruin!"

The two roared with laughter.

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun let out a silent sigh.

The news of Tongtian self-crippling his Dao Fruit spread throughout the entire Primordial World at that moment!
