Tongtian's Breakthrough

"It seems there's a demon around that Zhou Wang."

"A demon? A fox spirit?"

Wang Yuan immediately perked up with gossip; he was quite interested in Da Ji's story.

But that's not right, shouldn't the fox spirit appear after the incense offering?

It's here already?

"Uh... Grandson doesn't know, but it must be a powerful demon..."

Then he explained how even the Nine Dragons Qi within Zhou Wang was being suppressed.

Wang Yuan smacked his lips. "A demon?"

Although he knew about the Investiture of the Gods, he didn't know the dirty details. After all, he wasn't a native; he had been thrown over by some damn system.

But he knew it was just a scheme by the other few Saints.

In the past, Wang Yuan would have just lazed around, waiting to die, but last time the system said there would be rewards for changing the general trend of the Investiture of the Gods. Although it wasn't some awesome reward, Laws of Nature, still... that at least proved he was no longer a mortal.

No way...

He had to participate in the Investiture of the Gods. Wasn't it just changing the general trend?

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan pondered in his heart, how to change it?

Leave the mountain? No, the Primordial World is too dangerous. What if he died?

The two returned to the small courtyard. Wang Yuan pondered how to change the general trend of the Investiture of the Gods, while Do Bao seized the opportunity to cultivate. This was an Immortal Mountain! The spiritual energy was a thousand times denser than the outside world, and there was even a spiritual energy rain from time to time. This was good fortune; if he didn't cultivate properly, he would be condemned by the heavens.

Time passed quickly, and a month went by.

Do Bao flattered Wang Yuan, making tea for him, of course, it was Myriad World Same Root Tea.

He could also take the opportunity to drink a couple of sips.

"Little Mouse, have you made any breakthroughs recently?"

Do Bao shook his head. "Reporting to Grandpa, Grandson is dull and has not made any breakthroughs."

It was too difficult for Do Bao to break through now. After all, he was already a Quasi-Saint, and another breakthrough would make him a Saint. Becoming a Saint required opportunity!

At this moment, Do Bao looked at the direction of the small courtyard in surprise. Although his cultivation was gone, his eyesight was still there. He found that his master's aura was constantly rising, as if... he was improving his cultivation.

How was that possible!

Master was a Saint!

How could he still improve?

Were there also levels among Saints?

"Grandpa... Grandpa... My master seems to be breaking through!"

"Hmm?" Wang Yuan also felt something was wrong. An inexplicable pressure came from the direction of the small courtyard, but that pressure was not very great.

His eyes lit up with a smile, and he said with relief, "Good, good child, my dear nephew is finally about to break through! Alas, our Wang Family finally has a cultivator, a great thing! We'll have a drink to celebrate tonight!"

Do Bao's mouth twitched slightly. A cultivator?

Can't you have a grander ambition?

Then again, why can't Grandpa see through master's cultivation?

No, Grandpa's standards are too high; he probably thinks a saint is just someone who can draw Qi into the body.

Thinking of this, Do Bao looked at Wang Yuan with admiration, stars practically shining in his eyes.

"Boom!"

The Immortal Mountain shook slightly, followed by Tongtian's laughter from the small courtyard, "Hahaha... I've broken through! I've finally broken through!!"

Just then, footsteps came from the doorway, and Wang Yuan said with a dark face, "Breaking through is breaking through, what's with all the laughing!"

Tongtian's laughter was abruptly cut short by the scolding, knowing that his meddlesome uncle had arrived.

"Yes, it's all the nephew's fault..."

Wang Yuan, however, said, "Alright, it's good to break through. From now on, you're also a cultivator, so bring some honor to my face."

"Yes... Uncle, I will definitely work harder in the future and won't be ostentatious!"

Wang Yuan enjoyed educating the younger generation, especially when his tall nephew was being lectured in front of him; it gave him a special sense of superiority.

"Ahem, alright, alright, cultivation should be balanced, don't think so much. It's a good thing you broke through; we'll have a drink and enjoy ourselves later."

After Wang Yuan finished speaking, he went to prepare, leaving the master and disciple in the courtyard.

Do Bao knelt on the ground, "Congratulations on master's breakthrough!"

Tongtian nodded with immense satisfaction. It was great; disciples were the best. His uncle only knew how to scold him.

"But master, can saints also break through?"

Tongtian originally wouldn't discuss matters of saints with his disciples, but being around Wang Yuan gave him a sense of returning to his true self. He no longer felt high and mighty, but rather a bit like he did before becoming a saint.

After all... he was so weak.

He would only be reprimanded in front of his uncle.

"Indeed, Do Bao, do you know what a saint is called?"

Do Bao looked at Tongtian in confusion, disrespectfully thinking that master might have damaged his brain from cultivation.

What else could a saint be called? Just a saint!

Seeing his expression, Tongtian sneered, "You probably think a saint is just a saint, right?"

Do Bao nodded repeatedly, "Master is wise!"

"Hmph! Fool, it's not like that!"

Do Bao wasn't angry at all for being scolded. Ever since master met Grandpa, his temper had changed; he also liked to scold people. Before, he just liked to kill people, but now, he directly started scolding.

"That Li Dan, Yuanshi, Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, Nüwa, are all saints, but do you know that there are also strong and weak among us?"

Do Bao knew this. In terms of strength, Laozi should be the strongest, followed by Jie Yin, and then their master. Nüwa should be the weakest. As the chief disciple of the Intercept Sect, he naturally knew these things.

"Yes... but Master, shouldn't this be related to talent? Or to origin?"

Tongtian nodded and then shook his head, "Yes and no. Origin has some influence, but the most important thing is that our cultivation levels are different. Although I am a Saint, I am also called an Enlightened Saint. One must first attain enlightenment to become a Saint."

"Enlightenment?"

"Yes, this Dao... is the Heavenly Dao."

As he said this, Tongtian vaguely felt something was wrong. In the past, he cultivated under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, and the closer he was to the Heavenly Dao, the faster he cultivated. But in his uncle's Immortal Mountain, there was no Heavenly Dao. So how did he break through?

But that's not important.

"Then Jie Yin and Li Dan are at the Enlightenment Third Heaven!"

As he said this, a cold glint flashed in Tongtian's eyes. If it were just Li Dan, he wouldn't care, but Jie Yin had actually surpassed him by one realm!

The West is barren and desolate!

It must affect intelligence.

But how could Jie Yin's cultivation be higher than his? Could it be that he was not as smart as Jie Yin?

His uncle was right to scold him; he was a bit stupid.

"Then Master... what about you?" Do Bao suppressed the shock in his heart. He had heard the secrets of the Saints and was naturally excited. It seemed... that realm was also within reach.

"If I hadn't broken through, I would be at the Enlightenment Second Heaven. Hmph, but now, I am already at the Enlightenment Third Heaven. Even without the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, I am confident that I can defeat them."

Provided they don't use magic treasures either...

Otherwise, it would be hard to say.

If it were a bare-knuckle fight, Tongtian guaranteed that he could definitely beat Jie Yin or Laozi.
