Five Saints Vie for Shen Gongbao!

Afterward, Tongtian directly tore open a spatial passage and set off for the place where Shen Gongbao was about to appear.

When Tongtian left, all the Saints except Nuwa sensed his departure, for they were now all closely watching the movements of the Saints.

At this moment, they all feared that someone else would find the Tribulation Responder first. Now, seeing Tongtian leave so directly—

Though Tongtian had not stated that he intended to contend with them for the Investiture of the Gods, who knew whether he was merely putting on an act?

Could Tongtian's trip this time be to find the Tribulation Responder?

Witnessing this scene, each Saint began to ponder.

Yuanshi in particular, whose desire for the Investiture of the Gods was intense beyond measure, immediately and quietly followed Tongtian.

Before long, the Two Western Saints followed as well.

Everyone who caused heavenly and earthly phenomena must join my Western Teachings!

The four Saints who had spoken of contending for the Investiture of the Gods were now all tracking Tongtian.

In a place surrounded by mountains in the prehistoric land.

A leopard covered in black fur and bloodstains lay sprawled on the ground.

Because this leopard was about to transform into human form, it had undergone heavenly tribulation not long ago. At this moment, its body was trembling without cease, crackling sounds erupting from all over it.

Before long, it had already changed from a leopard into the form of a man.

Just then, Tongtian had arrived near Shen Gongbao and silently observed his every movement.

At this moment, he had already taken human form. Faintly, it seemed possible to see something unusual about him.

This anomaly was something only those in the Saint realm could see. What use was it for the four Saints to send out so many disciples?

Around Shen Gongbao's body, an airborne bear appeared beside him. This was surely a heavenly and earthly phenomenon!

At this time, the four Saints who had followed also noticed it.

A phenomenon?

Was that leopard below, who had only just transformed, the Tribulation Responder?

Although they did not know what sort of phenomenon it was, Tongtian had already found this person with an anomaly. Then he had to be the Tribulation Responder!

Shen Gongbao, meanwhile, did not know that he truly bore a phenomenon upon him, much less that he had already been targeted by five Saints.

At this point, the Two Western Saints began to panic.

For Tongtian had already emerged from the hidden void, and Shen Gongbao was instantly startled!

Before Shen Gongbao had time to ask who Tongtian was—

Whoosh!

Another Daoist appeared between him and Tongtian, directly blocking Tongtian.

"My Daoist title is Yuanshi. I am the leader of the Chan Sect, and I have come especially to take you as a disciple of the Chan Sect. Are you willing to join my Interception Sect?"

Yuanshi came straight to the point, Saintly might slowly spreading from his body.

"I am Jieyin, Saint of the Western Teachings!"

"I am Zhunti, Saint of the Western Teachings!"

Jieyin and Zhunti hurriedly revealed themselves and spoke. Then, with burning gazes, they said together, "Will you agree to join our Western Teachings?"

There was a phenomenon upon this person—he was definitely the person Hongjun had mentioned!

They had to find some way to bring him into the Western Teachings as a disciple!

"My name is Taishang. My Human Sect has few disciples. If you enter the Human Sect with me, I can personally guide your cultivation."

Once both the Chan Sect and Western Teachings had appeared, Taishang too stepped out, unwilling to show weakness.

At this moment, seeing all four Saints emerge one after another, Tongtian's face was full of disdain.

He too looked toward Shen Gongbao and said, "I am the leader of the Interception Sect. Will you agree to become my disciple?"

At this moment, Shen Gongbao was utterly dumbfounded.

Saints!

And five of them at that!

Seeing these five Saints all doing their utmost to invite him into their sects, his head buzzed.

There are so few Saints in the prehistoric land. I only just took human form today, and I've already encountered five Saints inviting me?

He was completely stupefied.

They were all scrambling to take him as their disciple.

For a moment, he had no idea what to do—he did not know whom to choose, nor whom to refuse.

He could not afford to offend any one of them.

"Our Western Teachings have many demonic beasts within them. This person happened to transform from a black leopard, while you, Senior Brother Yuanshi, dislike creatures of this sort transforming into humans. Why not simply let him enter our Western Teachings?"

Jieyin looked at Yuanshi smugly as he spoke.

At this, Yuanshi coldly shot back, "I came today intending to take him as a disciple of my Chan Sect. Since when is whether I like him up to you?"

"Besides, the moment I saw him, he looked like someone meant for the Chan Sect. No need for further discussion—he belongs to the Chan Sect!"

Hearing their exchange, Taishang calmly said, "My Human Sect has too few people. Only by joining my Human Sect can he receive the best possible development!"

Taishang did not waste his breath on nonsense, nor did he expect them to hand over a disciple to him so easily.

He also knew that saying such things would be useless anyway.

Every Saint present was racking their brains to bring Shen Gongbao into their own sect. How could they possibly hand Shen Gongbao over to him on a silver platter?

Besides, who would willingly hand the Investiture of the Gods over to someone else?

Taishang understood this principle all too well.

Seeing the scramble reach a fever pitch, Tongtian kept secretly laughing. Sure enough, everything had gone exactly as he had expected. The moment I showed up, they came running after me, wagging their tails.

Now was the time for him to fan the flames once more.

Rumble!

Tongtian directly unleashed the cultivation of a Great Dao Saint at the Fifth Heaven, his aura bearing down upon the other Saints.

He said furiously, "I was the one who discovered him!"

"What right do you have to compete with my Interception Sect for him?"

"This person can only belong to my Interception Sect!"

Tongtian's eyes blazed with roaring flames.

Hearing Tongtian's words, the four Saints were somewhat taken aback.

Jieyin said unconcernedly, "Brother Tongtian, what do you mean by that?"

"He is merely someone accompanied by a strange phenomenon. Is there any need for you to be so enraged?"

Tongtian pretended to be furious as he spoke again, "Don't think I've forgotten what Master once said!"

"This phenomenon signifies..."

He stopped halfway through, as though he had only just realized that he had said something he should not have.

Tongtian's acting was truly impeccable!

At this moment, he was pretending that this person was directly connected to the Tribulation Responder—and was even someone capable of controlling the Investiture of the Gods.

Tongtian's words at this moment were no different from pouring oil onto the fire.

Tongtian had directly made the four Saints believe that Shen Gongbao was the person capable of controlling the Investiture of the Gods. This was the first step in Tongtian's scheme to lure them into the pit!
