Heavenly Dao Fragment

Hongjun watched Tongtian holding the Twelve Devilish Blades. Suddenly, his figure became even more ethereal, and all human presence vanished from him. The Three Pure Ones understood that this was no longer their Teacher, but the Dao Ancestor—the Heavenly Dao.

After Hongjun merged with the Dao, the Three Pure Ones could no longer tell whether he was their Teacher or the Heavenly Dao. Their relationship had thus grown increasingly distant.

The Heavenly Dao's aura grew ever more intense, forcing the Three Pure Ones back dozens of meters.

At that moment, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao jointly deduced the matter, using the Twelve Devilish Blades and Tongtian for the divination.

But...

After a long while, Hongjun let out a deep sigh. "A variable!"

Whenever the Heavenly Dao acted, all it saw was a chaotic variable!

Inside the Immortal Mountain.

Wang Yuan felt uncomfortable all over, as though he had been stripped naked and thoroughly watched.

"Which bastard is spying on me?"

"Get lost!!"

He shouted in a low voice.

At that moment, Hongjun felt a thunderous roar explode beside his ears. "Get... lost..."

That voice nearly jolted him out of the Heavenly Dao. His expression changed, and he released the Twelve Devilish Blades. With a gesture from Tongtian, they flew back to his wrist and transformed into a bracelet.

"Let this matter end here. Return."

"Teacher?"

Yuanshi still wanted to say something, but Hongjun's figure had already vanished.

Naturally, the Three Pure Ones did not dare continue fighting either.

Yuanshi and Laozi exchanged a glance. Laozi gave Tongtian a Daoist salute. "Junior Brother, let today's matter end here."

Tongtian did not reply. In a flash of light, he too returned to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes shifted as he instigated, "Senior Brother, look at Tongtian. He truly has no regard for you!"

Laozi's face darkened. "Second Junior Brother, Shouyang Mountain has recently acquired a ten-thousand-year spiritual root tea. How about you and I drink tea and discuss the Dao?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's face lit up, and he gave a Daoist salute. "Excellent!"

Master Tongtian returned to Biyou Palace, looking thoroughly refreshed. Do Bao followed him into the main hall. "Master, you look radiant. Could something good have happened?"

Tongtian smiled. "Nothing much. The things your Grandpa gives are good! Ah, never mind that... Hmm... I have something for you to do. I deduced that someone in Wang Family Village shares a karmic origin with me. He must be Uncle's biological nephew. Give him an opportunity for wealth and fortune. It would be best if you made them move away..."

"Move... move away?" Do Bao stared blankly at Tongtian. "Master, you mean?"

Tongtian harshly knocked him on the head. "Idiot. I mean get them far away from the Immortal Mountain, preferably somewhere they can never reach in their lifetimes. They are mere mortals. Wouldn't moving them farther away solve it? If they cannot find the Immortal Mountain, won't that settle everything?"

Do Bao rubbed the bump on his head, grimacing in pain. Why had Master picked up another bad habit?

That was Grandpa's technique, wasn't it?

"This disciple understands. I will go at once."

"Go quickly and return quickly. When you come back, we will head to the Immortal Mountain."

Do Bao knew which place Tongtian meant. His eyes immediately lit up!

"Yes!"

Grandpa had good things there...

Countless magical treasures...

Countless cultivation arts...

Countless spiritual objects...

When Do Bao returned once more, Tongtian took him onto the road back to the Immortal Mountain.

"Master, I sent them to a distant place! They definitely will not be able to walk back in this lifetime. They will live in abundance, surrounded by wives and concubines! I even found several young ladies to serve as concubines for Uncle's elder brother!"

Tongtian nodded with an expression that said his student could be taught. "Well done."

Immortal Mountain.

"Host, a new day has arrived. Please accept your rewards."

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining ten Enlightenment Spirit Pearls."

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining twenty Enlightenment Spirit Pearls."

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Heavenly Dao Fragment."

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Innate Spiritual Treasure Heaven-Turning Brick."

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Innate Spiritual Treasure Sea-Overturning Seal."

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Innate Spiritual Treasure Thick Earth Seal."

"..."

"Clink, clank..."

Countless spiritual treasures fell from the sky. Wang Yuan expressionlessly grabbed them and tossed them into the storeroom. He had already grown accustomed to this wealthy life. The only meaning left in living was making his foolish nephew cultivate, making his foolish nephew inherit the family fortune, and having his foolish nephew help change the Investiture of the Gods World whenever he had nothing else to do.

"Hmm? A Heavenly Dao Fragment? This is good stuff!" Wang Yuan held the illusory Heavenly Dao Fragment, his eyes shining. With this, his foolish nephew should be able to cultivate a little faster, right?

But then again, this nephew of his seemed rather dumb. Could he understand cultivation after being given the Supreme Clarity Art?? Or should he switch it out for the Eagle Claw Skill? Sword Immortal Notes? Netherworld Divine Records?

While Wang Yuan was lost in wild thoughts, Tongtian returned with Do Bao.

"Uncle! Please open the grand formation!"

Tongtian called him Uncle with complete peace of mind and a cheerful heart.

Wasn't it just one word, Uncle? What was the big deal? He did not find it embarrassing in the slightest! Go ask anyone in the Primordial World!

Call someone Uncle once, and you got an Innate Slaughter Supreme Treasure, a Chaos Lotus...

Who would not call him that?

What did embarrassment matter?

Magical treasures were what mattered most. Besides, what was embarrassing about calling someone even more powerful than the Dao Ancestor Uncle?

Do Bao could not bear to look. Covering his face, he felt a little embarrassed.

"What is it? What are you doing? Why aren't you calling your Grandpa?"

"Yes..."

Do Bao immediately drooped his head. Right, he still had to call the man Grandpa...

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Your grandson has come..."

Wang Yuan was instantly delighted when he heard their voices. "Open!"

Living alone in the mountains was truly boring...

"Come in quickly."

Tongtian nodded. "Watch my signals later!"

"Yes!"

The moment Tongtian entered the courtyard, his face filled with grievance. "Uncle!"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"My father... he..."

"What happened to my elder brother?"

"He left..."

"Left? Where did he go?"

"Uncle, Father is gone..."

Wang Yuan froze, then sighed. "Sigh, I never expected Elder Brother to be so ill-fated. I had wanted you to give him some immortal fruit to eat. So be it. What is fated will come eventually; what is not fated cannot be forced."

Tongtian was stunned by those words. As expected of Uncle, a figure beyond the Heavenly Dao. He actually found those words flawless.

As expected of Uncle!

"All right, do not be sad anymore. Uncle has something good for you."

With a flick of his hand, an illusory Heavenly Dao Fragment flew into Tongtian's hand.

Tongtian held the item, dumbfounded. "A... a Heavenly Dao Fragment..."

Wang Yuan froze. "Eh? Great nephew, you recognize this thing?"

Tongtian's expression changed. He had let it slip, so he hurriedly said, "I heard a friend mention it..."

"Hmm, your friend is knowledgeable. All right, hurry up and take it to play with."

In Wang Yuan's mind, anything was possible in the Primordial World. Even ancient figures—or even mortals—might be related to immortals and deities. It was not strange for them to know such things.

Tongtian's hands trembled. This was a Heavenly Dao Fragment!

Back then, Hongjun had relied on the damaged Jade Plate of Creation condensed from Heavenly Dao Fragments to become the Dao Ancestor!

Tongtian had received such an opportunity too??

At that moment, he truly believed Wang Yuan was a figure beyond the Heavenly Dao! Otherwise, how could he possess such a miraculous magical treasure?
