"Bandits! Thugs! Shameless scum!!!"
Heavenly Court.
Haotian watched as Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Daoist Duobao, along with Fengdu, devoured everything like a storm, carrying away the entire Heavenly Court's treasury. He was so angry he almost vomited blood!
Especially Guangchengzi, who grumbled as he left, "The Heavenly Court is truly poor."
This made Haotian's three corpse gods jump with rage.
He had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!
What was the meaning of this?
They had plundered the Heavenly Court's treasury and then complained that the Heavenly Court was poor!
Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to offend them.
These four were representatives of the four Saintly lineages. He had thought that with the Two Sages of the West as his trump card, he would have something to say even if the Three Pure Ones themselves came.
But the Two Sages of the West had directly fled!
Now, the Heavenly Court, which was already weak in resources, was in an even worse situation!
"Haotian, your ambition this time was too great. The position of Sage Teacher for the Human Race is not something our Heavenly Court can covet. Especially the Two Sages of the West, their ambitions are like a wolf's. Cooperating with them is like seeking a tiger's skin!"
"We must never cooperate with them again in the future!"
Yaochi's voice was icy.
As the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court, how could she not be furious seeing the Heavenly Court in such a dire state?
But she was powerless.
Even if the Three Pure Ones hadn't come, they couldn't handle the chief disciples of these four major lineages. If they continued to fight, the entire Heavenly Court might be annihilated.
A fall into the pit, a gain in the wit.
"Damn those two Sages of the West!"
Haotian cursed inwardly.
They ran off just like that, completely unhelpful.
However, he didn't know that the Two Sages of the West didn't want to help, but they had no opportunity.
At this moment, Western Heaven.
The Sumeru mustard seed, Buddha's light shone, infinite time and space were all purified by Buddhist nature, and the low chanting of Buddhas occasionally drifted with the wind. The Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons swam in the golden sea of Buddhism, and above the auspicious clouds, all the Buddhas were seated...
Such was the Western Heaven, unchanging for eternity, with all Buddhas paying homage, their expressions indifferent.
However, on this day, a majestic figure descended, hovering above the Western Heaven. Its immense aura awakened countless Buddhas, who slightly opened their eyes, wanting to see what was causing this commotion.
But soon, from that figure, they all felt an immense, forbidden aura, and dared not look directly.
Saintly might!!!
Saints are not to be blasphemed, not to be looked at directly...
It was the Sovereign Lord of the Heavens!
He wore a purple robe, surrounded by dense Saintly laws interwoven, transforming into Dao swords radiating astonishing killing intent, his aura soaring to the heavens.
Instantly, the Western Heaven fell silent.
Throughout the Western Heaven, countless Buddhas trembled, not daring to make a sound.
Only the Sovereign Lord's vast Saintly voice echoed throughout the entire Western Heaven.
"Zhunti, Jieyin, you have grown so bold, threatening the Earthly Emperor Shennong and attempting to covet the position of the next Sage Teacher of my Intercepting Sect. Today, I will come to the Western Heaven!"
As his words fell.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Four resonant sword cries echoed through the void.
Immediately after, four colossal Qiankun swords, piercing straight into the sky, stood like four heavenly steles around the Western Heaven.
Their gleaming sword bodies were inscribed with complex and intricate Dao patterns.
Dense sword Qi flowed, an incomparably sharp aura, as if it could tear apart all heavens.
At the tips of these four Qiankun giant swords, a formation diagram quietly appeared.
In an instant, the boundless void stirred with endless, terrifying killing intent.
Heaven and earth were torn apart, time and space were shattering, destruction and rebirth were flowing.
Endless mist enveloped the Western Heaven.
This was clearly the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
At this moment, Tongtian was stationed within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, blocking the entrance to the Western Heaven!
"Brother Tongtian, this matter has nothing to do with my Western Heaven!"
Jieyin rushed back from the Heavenly Court and immediately saw this scene, quickly trying to dissuade him.
"My brother and I just found out about this. How dare the Heavenly Court use the name of my Western Heaven to force the Earthly Emperor Shennong to identify the next Human Race Sage Teacher? They deserve to die!"
"It's all that Haotian's ambition, wanting to provoke a war between Saints again and seize opportunities from it."
Zhunti directly shifted the blame.
"A fellow daoist dies, not this poor one."
Now Tongtian had even deployed the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
This was the Heavenly Dao's foremost killing formation, unbreakable unless four Saints joined forces.
Even if they couldn't kill the two of them, the Western Heaven would suffer.
Countless Buddhist kingdoms would be destroyed, innumerable Buddhas would fall, and it was feared that the Destiny of the entire Western Heaven would be directly wounded!
"Oh? Is that so? I don't believe it."
Tongtian's voice was indifferent, filled with mockery.
Provoking a war between Saints to profit from it.
Where did his Haotian get such audacity?
One must know, not to mention Haotian was merely a Quasi-Saint, even a Saint would not dare to do such a thing!
The only reason the Heavenly Court dared to act like this now was that they were being instigated.
As for who it was, it was obvious!
Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions froze.
Listening to Tongtian's words, they grew angrier the more they thought about it.
Listen to that, were those human words?
But they couldn't get angry, for if they angered Tongtian, the entire Western Heaven would suffer.
"Brother Tongtian, this matter truly has nothing to do with my Western teachings. It was all the work of that Haotian alone."
Tongtian's expression remained indifferent; he was too lazy to waste any more words with Zhunti and Jieyin.
He could see it clearly now: the Two Sages of the West would absolutely not admit to this matter today.
After all, the Two Sages of the West had not personally appeared in this matter, so they could easily blame the Heavenly Court.
But they were all Saints, and they knew perfectly well who was responsible.
Tongtian spoke slowly, "There's no need to keep blaming the Heavenly Court."
"We are all Heavenly Dao Saints. As long as we deduce the beginning and end of the matter, we can find the clues. As for the results of the deduction, there's no need for me to elaborate."
"You wish to annex the position of Human Race Sage Teacher belonging to my Intercepting Sect. This matter cannot be let go so easily."
Zhunti and Jieyin suddenly had a bad premonition.
This Tongtian didn't seem like a good person!
Zhunti tentatively asked, "What do you want?"
Tongtian said, "It's simple. Just produce several hundred Innate Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots, and I will consider this the work of the Heavenly Court and leave. Otherwise..."
He moved his mind.
Within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the sounds of four swords hummed, shaking the Western Heaven. An endless aura of slaughter surged, and countless Buddhas trembled.
"Stop!"
Jieyin quickly spoke.
He already knew that Tongtian had come to extort the Western Heaven!
And now he was using the boundless Buddhist kingdoms of the entire Western Heaven as a threat.
Yet, they were helpless, precisely because what Tongtian said was true.
They were all Heavenly Dao Saints; a little deduction would reveal the clues.
He looked at Tongtian and said with a pained expression, "You are asking for too much. My Western Heaven cannot provide it."
"One Innate Spiritual Root."
"Just one Innate Spiritual Root? Do you look down on my Intercepting Sect?"
Tongtian's voice was icy.
"At most, add one Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
Jieyin said, his heart aching even more. After speaking, he added, "The Western Heaven truly cannot produce any more."
Tongtian looked at Zhunti and Jieyin.
Especially Jieyin, whose already sorrowful expression was now even more unsightly than crying.
Tongtian also knew that the Western Heaven was truly poor.
They had already extorted them once before, draining their reserves.
Then, he directly said, "This is a one-time exception. In the future, if anyone offends my Intercepting Sect or the reputation of the Three Pure Ones, and I find out, it won't be this simple!"
As his voice fell, Tongtian put away the Innate Spiritual Roots and Innate Spiritual Treasures given by Zhunti, and left the Western Heaven with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Now, this could be considered a lesson for the Western Heaven. He hoped they would learn from it!
