Facing Tongtian's Questions

Of everyone present, Tongtian, as the Master, was undoubtedly the most excited.

He was of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, the transformed primordial spirit of the God of Creation. He believed his cultivation talent was inferior to no one, and no matter what he did, everything came naturally to him.

Except teaching Xian Junyu.

Ever since he had gained this eldest disciple, Tongtian sometimes even wondered whether he truly lacked the talent to be a Master.

Yet Xian Junyu's situation today had completely dispelled that self-doubt.

Eldest Brother, Second Brother! You saw that, right? My teaching has no problems at all. Don't even think about taking my disciple!

[Golden Immortal Initial Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, Perfected... Grand Unity Heavenly Immortal Initial Stage!]

Breaking through the Xuanxian Realm would have been normal. Breaking through the Golden Immortal Realm would have been somewhat problematic. But breaking through the Taiyi Realm was simply astonishing—and far too problematic.

"Grand Unity Heavenly Immortal Realm! How could this be? It's impossible!"

At this moment, Tongtian was no longer delighted. He could accept crossing two major realms at once. It was indeed normal, and there were people like that even in the Primordial.

But crossing four realms at once was impossible without something being wrong.

Tongtian immediately used the power of a Heavenly Dao Saint to deduce the heavenly secrets. However, he was destined to gain nothing.

"The heavenly secrets are blurred. I can't calculate anything. How could this be?"

"Again!"

Tongtian refused to believe it. He deduced everything about Xian Junyu's past. He could still calculate some insignificant matters.

But whenever certain things were involved, he could calculate nothing at all, as if something had covered them up.

In fact, this was completely normal. With the System's invincible cheat, being able to calculate trivial matters was already quite impressive. As for anything else, he could forget about it!

"Strange! Strange!"

Unable to deduce the heavenly secrets, Tongtian could only give up.

In any case, Xian Junyu was right here, and he had plenty of time to ask him.

As for Duobao and the others, they had already been left standing there in a daze.

They had believed that breaking through one major realm after listening to the Dao for three hundred years already surpassed ninety percent of cultivators. Yet their Senior Disciple Brother Xian Junyu had gone even further beyond them.

Breaking through from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Taiyi Realm—damn, he had definitely cheated.

Monstrous. Simply monstrous!

As Xian Junyu's cultivation suddenly surged to the Taiyi Realm, his body could not adapt to such a rapid breakthrough. He had also entered deep meditation on his own, digesting the cultivation that had arrived so suddenly.

Seeing his eldest disciple enter deep meditation, Tongtian looked at the other disciples, who were still stunned, and said:

"Today's sermon is over. Go back and digest what you've learned properly. The next sermon will begin in three thousand years!"

"Yes, Master! This disciple takes his leave!!!!"

After taking a deep look at their seated Senior Disciple Brother, the group also saluted and left.

After the other disciples had left, Tongtian waved his hand and moved Xian Junyu into the main hall.

After leaving, Duobao and the others discussed the unbelievable events that had just happened.

"Senior Disciple Sister, did you see that just now? Senior Disciple Brother actually broke through to the Taiyi Realm in one go. He's amazing!" Gui Ling said excitedly.

"I saw it... Crossing four major realms at once is simply unheard of. I suppose Senior Disciple Brother must have comprehended something extraordinary..."

Jin Ling sounded somewhat uncertain even as she said this.

Breaking through from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Taiyi Realm—what kind of extraordinary enlightenment would that require?

"There's no need to think so much. Everyone has their own Dao. Since Senior Disciple Brother has broken through to the Grand Unity Heavenly Immortal Realm, we can't fall behind either!"

"Go back and digest this sermon. Let's all strive to leave the Heavenly Immortal Realm behind and enter the Taiyi Realm as soon as possible!"

Duobao spoke calmly.

Although he was also very shocked by his Senior Disciple Brother's breakthrough, even the Saint that was their Master, Tongtian, had been utterly confused. That proved this was not something they were meant to understand.

Rather than investigating something they could not understand, they might as well cultivate properly.

"Mm, Senior Brother Duobao is right. We can't fall behind just because Senior Disciple Brother broke through!"

"That's right. We can't fall behind!"

Wu Dang and Gui Ling bade farewell to Senior Brother Duobao and Senior Disciple Sister Jin Ling, then left directly for their own caves.

Duobao also intended to leave.

"Senior Disciple Sister, Duobao will take his leave as well!"

"Mm, all right. I should leave too. See you in three thousand years!"

After saying their farewells, Duobao and Jin Ling left at the same time.

At Tongtian's Daoist Sanctuary, Xian Junyu did not remain in deep meditation for long.

Three days later, he completely emerged from meditation.

"Phew!"

"My cultivation rose too quickly. My body actually couldn't bear it. It nearly ruined my leisurely life!"

After exhaling a breath of stale air, Xian Junyu opened his eyes and immediately began complaining.

His body had actually been unable to withstand the returned cultivation. System Bro was rather unreliable—there was even this minor flaw.

He had just been about to complain to the System when he looked up and was given a direct fright.

"Damn! Master?!"

Startled like that, he blurted out a curse.

It turned out that Master Tongtian had been sitting right across from him. Only then did Xian Junyu realize that this was not his cave, but the main hall of his Master's Daoist Sanctuary.

Tongtian, meanwhile, looked at Xian Junyu with an interested, sly smile.

"Calling yourself 'this seat' and thinking about a leisurely life? Yu'er, you're quite capable, aren't you?" Tongtian said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He always felt that this disciple was somewhat different. He had even suspected that someone had possessed him, but after examining him, he had found nothing.

Seeing his Master staring at him, Xian Junyu immediately stood up, hurried around to Tongtian's back, and began pounding his shoulders with his little fists.

"Master, look, when I call myself 'this seat,' I'm just referring to myself. There's nothing wrong with that..."

"Besides, look at us cultivators. What we cultivate is Great Freedom itself. There's nothing wrong with thinking about a leisurely life, right?"

While flattering his Master, Xian Junyu quickly tried to clear himself of suspicion, hoping to avoid a beating.

Looking at Xian Junyu's shameless appearance, the suspicion that he had been possessed instantly vanished from Tongtian's mind.

No one else could fake that wretchedly shameless attitude.

"Cut it out. Tell me, what's the matter with your Taiyi cultivation? Explain it in detail!"

Tongtian did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Xian Junyu did not hesitate at all. He spread his hands and said, "Dunno!"

"Speak properly!" Tongtian's face was full of speechlessness.

Whatever "wood know" or "earth know" meant, he had no idea. Still, he could guess roughly what Xian Junyu was trying to say.

"I don't know. I just broke through naturally. Maybe it's because Master gave such a good sermon, or perhaps I accumulated enough and finally released it!"

"Otherwise, maybe I'm simply a heaven-blessed genius with extraordinary comprehension..."

When it came to spouting nonsense, Xian Junyu could do it without hesitation. His words had no logic whatsoever.

After saying a whole lot, he had said nothing useful.

The sermon being good was impossible. If Tongtian's sermon had truly been that effective, Duobao and the others should have broken through in the same way.

As for being a heaven-blessed genius with extraordinary comprehension, that was somewhat possible. But when applied to the lazy fellow Xian Junyu, it was completely impossible.

As for accumulating enough and finally releasing it, that might also have been somewhat possible. But considering that this lazy fellow had barely cultivated at all since transforming, that was impossible too.
