Intercepting Sect Established, Tongtian and Dijun Achieve Sainthood First (1)

After a chat, Xuanxiao removed the Chaos Bead's shielding and headed to Kunlun Mountain. Upon arriving, he was a bit stunned. Damn, I haven't been home in a while, and my humble hut is empty?

A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed three palaces. He went into the Shangqing Palace and said, "Dad, what's going on? Why are you three living in palaces instead of the hut?"

Tongtian coughed and replied, "I've been taking in a lot of disciples recently, and the hut is too small. So, everyone moved into Daoist Palaces." Internally, he thought: I can't exactly say your second uncle dislikes the fact that my disciples shed so much, can I?

Only then did Xuanxiao realize that there were more disciples in the Shangqing Palace than just Duobao. He looked at the other disciples and said, "Esteemed junior brothers and sisters, please introduce yourselves."

A woman in a golden Daoist robe smiled charmingly and said, "Senior Brother, I am Jin Ling, a direct disciple of our Master."

Xuanxiao nodded, "Hello, Junior Sister."

A curly-haired man cupped his hands in greeting, "Xuan Emperor, I am the patriarch of the Green Lion Clan. Master bestowed upon me the name Qiu Shou Xian. Greetings, Senior Brother."

Xuanxiao nodded, "Mm, I know you. You didn't disgrace our Demon Court by daring to fight Xing Tian a while back." As he spoke, he walked over and patted his shoulder.

A woman in a plain Daoist robe said coolly, "Senior Brother, I am Wu Dang."

Xuanxiao nodded, "Hello, Junior Sister."

After the introductions, Xuanxiao thought, Thank goodness I'm a Primordial Golden Immortal now. These direct disciples are one thing, but the outer disciples... that White Elephant's tusks are so damn yellow, I really want to brush them.

Then, Xuanxiao chuckled and said, "Dad, I've met my junior brothers and sisters. Can we have a private father-son talk?"

Tongtian nodded, "Let's go to my secret cultivation chamber to talk." With that, he led Xuanxiao to the chamber.

Xuanxiao chuckled, "Dad, I found the method for you to Achieve Sainthood in the inheritance my mother left me. However, this method has its pros and cons. What do you think...?"

Tongtian nodded, "It's good enough that I can Achieve Sainthood. Why worry about so much?"

Xuanxiao said, "Dad, please relax your mind."

Tongtian nodded and was directly taken into the Chaos Bead by Xuanxiao. Looking at the changed space before him, Tongtian asked Xuanxiao, "Where is this?"

Xuanxiao replied, "This is the Chaos Bead my mother left me. It can block the Heavenly Dao's deductions. I'll speak, and you listen before making a decision."

Afterward, Xuanxiao laid out his entire speculation. Tongtian frowned and said, "You mean that once this Primordial Violet Qi is refined, and one becomes a Heavenly Dao Saint, they will be controlled by Hongjun?"

Xuanxiao nodded, "This is just my guess, it might not be the case. But Dad, we can try it. You Achieve Sainthood first. If we ever fight Hongjun in the future, and you suddenly sever your own Saint position, Hongjun will definitely spit blood."

Tongtian looked confused, "Uh... I am the Dao Ancestor's direct disciple, is it really okay to scheme against him with me?"

Xuanxiao looked up, feigning innocence, "What, are you going to report me to the Dao Ancestor?"

Tongtian quickly shook his head, "Don't be ridiculous. The Dao Ancestor doesn't even favor his own sons. It's just that if I really sever my Saint position, will I be targeted? After all, I do have some enemies in the Primordial World."

Xuanxiao looked bewildered, "Dad, aren't you not good at using your brain? Why are you thinking so fast today?"

Tongtian asked in confusion, "I'm not good at using my brain? Who told you that? I'm just too lazy to scheme usually. I, your father, am a transformation of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, how could I not understand scheming?"

Xuanxiao broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, My heavens, this famously simple-minded old man is actually a calculating person?

Seeing Xuanxiao's silence, Tongtian went up and patted his head, "Xiao'er, who said your father isn't good at using his brain? Tell me? I'm quite curious."

Xuanxiao said, "I absolutely won't tell you it was Junior Brother Duobao. I promised him I wouldn't sell him out." Internally, he thought: Fat rat, a fellow daoist dies, but I don't. I'll give you some benefits later.

Tongtian nodded, "Alright, continue. How do we Achieve Sainthood? Dad will listen to you."

Xuanxiao said, "After all, achieving a Heavenly Dao Saint through Primordial Violet Qi is the fastest way to increase strength. Dad, you can establish a sect then. As for suppressing destiny, I've already discussed it with my brother-in-law, Dijun. We'll use the River Diagram and Luo Shu to suppress destiny. Then, the Demon Race and the sect you establish will share destiny, and everyone's cultivation will advance together."

Tongtian said, "But... in the future, during the Witch-Demon War, if the Demon Race is crippled, won't the destiny of my sect also dissipate?"

Xuanxiao chuckled, "Don't worry, that's impossible." As he spoke, Xuanxiao revealed some of his secrets, his Three Flowers atop his head opened. Tongtian almost stuttered in shock, "This... Twenty-four-petal Three Flowers? Yours?"

Xuanxiao nodded, "Yes, hehe. Taiyi has twenty-four-petal Three Flowers just like me. Also, Dijun actually married the Lunar Demon God Wangshu, who has recovered some of her original power. She is now at the Second Heaven of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Do you think they will be severely crippled by the Witch Clan?"
