Appearing within Lin Xuan's space was none other than the demon clan's formation-sealing divine formation, the Star Banners of the Grand Formation!
Back then, it was with this grand formation that the two Innate Demon Gods, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, were able to contend against Saints and not be defeated.
They battled the Witch Clan, who possessed the Twelve Heavens Profound Evil Formation and could summon Pangu's True Body, for dominance over the Primordial World.
What Lin Xuan valued most about this formation, however, was its ability to obscure heavenly secrets.
Once the Grand Formation of the Stars was activated, even Saints would be unable to deduce the location of Golden Ao Island from the heavenly secrets.
Unless Hongjun personally intervened.
However, Lin Xuan also possessed the Chaos Bead, which could shield him from the Heavenly Dao's senses.
Even if Hongjun personally tried to deduce it, he would only find a sea of Chaos.
With this, the Sect of Interception would be in an invincible position from the start of this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
Afterward, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and spoke to his bowing junior disciple brothers and sisters:
"Issue my command: from this day forward, all disciples of the Sect of Interception shall enter closed-door cultivation. Do not emerge without my summons!"
With that, Lin Xuan didn't wait for his junior disciples and sisters to react.
With a wave of his hand, three hundred and sixty-five Star Banners of the Grand Formation flew out, directly setting up the Grand Formation of the Stars according to its formation.
Lin Xuan then directly used the Chaos Bead as the formation's core, suppressing the entire grand formation and isolating it from heavenly secrets.
In addition to this Chaos Grand Formation of the Stars, Lin Xuan also set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to prevent any prying eyes.
In an instant, the entire Golden Ao Island vanished without a trace on the East Sea.
Even calculations of heavenly secrets could not find it.
After Lin Xuan continuously set up two peerless grand formations, he transmitted a message to all beings in the Primordial World.
"I am Lin Xuan, the Senior Disciple of the Sect of Interception, and I am now acting as the Sect Leader."
"I hereby announce to the Primordial World that all disciples of the Sect of Interception shall enter closed-door cultivation from today onwards. The Great Tribulation will not pass, and the Sect of Interception will not emerge!"
The rumbling heavenly voice echoed throughout the Primordial World.
All the mighty ones in the Primordial World who heard the transmission couldn't help but change their expressions.
What was going on?
The dominant force of the Primordial World, the Sect of Interception, was actually going into seclusion as a whole sect!
And what was with this Lin Xuan? What right did he have to replace Sect Master Tongtian in leading the Sect of Interception?
At the same time.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the others, who were leisurely making their way over, contemplating how to deal with Lin Xuan and the other disciples of the Sect of Interception, also heard this transmission.
A cold glint flashed across Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face.
"The Great Tribulation will not pass, the Sect of Interception will not emerge?"
"Hmph, without your Sect of Interception disciples filling the Investiture of the Gods, how will this Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods be passed?"
"You wish to go into seclusion and not emerge? Did you even get our consent as Saints!"
Immediately, Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the other three Saints no longer maintained their saintly demeanor and each transformed into a streak of light, arriving at the boundless sea area where Golden Ao Island was located.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked at the empty sea surface, somewhat dumbfounded.
Where was Golden Ao Island?
Where was the massive Golden Ao Island belonging to Sect Master Tongtian?
How could it have disappeared?
However, Primordial Heavenly Venerate was, after all, a Saint.
He instantly regained his composure.
A mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Hmph, it's merely a mere illusion. You dare to show off in front of a Saint."
"You are simply courting death."
Thus, under the watchful eyes of the divine senses of many mighty ones in the Primordial World, Primordial Heavenly Venerate began his calculations.
Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, Zhunti, and Jieyin were also leisurely discussing profound principles nearby.
In their view, the Sect of Interception, without Sect Master Tongtian, was a piece of meat on a chopping block.
They could slaughter it as they pleased.
Even if that Lin Xuan possessed the God-Slaying Spear and could injure a Saint, so what?
As long as he hadn't become a Saint, he was still an ant.
At most, he would become their treasure-delivering boy.
Perhaps they, the Saints, could even take this opportunity to obtain an Immortal Slaying Sword.
However, the time it took to brew a cup of tea passed.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate still hadn't calculated any results.
He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.
Could it be that Tongtian had left some contingency plan for these spawned and moisture-born beings?
Otherwise, with his heavenly secrets calculation, how could he not come up with any results?
Primordial Heavenly Venerate immediately and secretly activated his Saint origin, preparing to directly search for Golden Ao Island's location from the Sea of Heavenly Dao.
As soon as his divine sense floated out, it was met by a beam of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.
It turned out that his forceful probing had triggered the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation that Lin Xuan used to obscure heavenly secrets.
Although the power of this sword light was not as strong as when Sect Master Tongtian personally activated it.
Still, being caught off guard, it injured Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
At the same time, it aggravated the old wounds on Primordial Heavenly Venerate's body, which had been left by Sect Master Tongtian.
Instantly.
In front of all the Primordial Mighty Ones who were paying attention to this place, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of purple-gold blood.
After spitting out this blood, Primordial Heavenly Venerate was immediately consumed by rage. He roared:
"How dare you, you scoundrel, bully me like this!"
After speaking.
In his rage, Primordial Heavenly Venerate hurled the Jade Purity Divine Thunder, bombarding the entire sea area.
As a result, he gained nothing but a body full of karma of killing.
Meanwhile, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, Zhunti, and Jieyin, who were by his side, also made their own deductions.
Similarly, they received nothing but a strike of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.
Daoist Zhunti's face twitched, and he then said:
"Brother Primordial, what should we do? Those spawned and moisture-born disciples of the Sect of Interception have all hidden themselves with devious tricks."
"How are your virtuous disciples going to survive this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"
"If the Great Tribulation does not pass, how innocent are all beings in the Primordial World."
Hearing Daoist Zhunti's seemingly compassionate words, Primordial Heavenly Venerate wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly:
"Even if Lin Xuan used some secret method to temporarily obscure heavenly secrets, he cannot sustain it for long. We should return to Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Palace and discuss this matter properly."
After Primordial Heavenly Venerate finished speaking, he tidied his appearance and left without looking back.
Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged glances, then followed Primordial Heavenly Venerate on their clouds.
Laozi, who had been inconspicuous the entire time, cast a meaningful glance back before riding his Horned Green Ox towards Jade Void Palace.
The speed of Saints cannot be measured by ordinary means.
One moment, they were all in the East Sea.
The next moment, the Four Saints appeared on Kunlun Mountain.
But--
Looking at Kunlun Mountain before them, the Four Saints all blinked their eyes in disbelief.
Was this barren mountain truly the Kunlun Mountain, which was filled with Lingzhi Immortal Herbs and divine soil everywhere?
How could even the Jade Void Palace have disappeared?
Had they come to the wrong place?
No, it couldn't be said to be a barren mountain.
At the very least, there were twelve figures huddled together on the mountaintop.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate suppressed the anger in his heart and directly appeared before the Twelve Golden Immortals, shouting coldly:
"Wicked disciples! What happened to Kunlun Mountain? Why has it become like this!"
Guangchengzi, the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, saw Primordial Heavenly Venerate appear and immediately couldn't help but cry out:
"Master, it's Lin Xuan!"
"It's all that Senior Disciple Brother Lin Xuan of the Sect of Interception!"
"He scoured the entire Kunlun Mountain clean, not even leaving a blade of grass behind."
"Even, even he stole the twelve Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs that you exchanged from Senior Martial Uncle!"
"Master, you must seek justice for us."
Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked at the desolate Kunlun Mountain and his disciples kneeling and crying. He immediately couldn't suppress another mouthful of blood and spat it out.
A moment later, a roar echoed throughout the Primordial World.
"Little thief Lin Xuan, I swear I will not rest until I have enmity with you!"
His voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, filled with infinite resentment.
