Lu Changsheng stared coldly at Dingguang Xian, his face like frost.

What fellow disciples?

When Dingguang Xian had used the Hunyuan Hammer and Six Souls Banner against him, a mere Mysterious Immortal, why hadn't he thought of them as fellow disciples then?

Lu Changsheng knew very well that there was no possibility of reconciliation between them.

If the situation hadn't prevented it, he would have directly annihilated Dingguang Xian.

That would have been considered eliminating a major hidden danger for the Jie Sect in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation ahead of time.

Since he couldn't kill Dingguang Xian, he would maximize his value.

His icy gaze and indifferent words completely extinguished Dingguang Xian's last shred of hope.

"Alright, Dingguang Xian's cultivation resources will be given to you from now on."

Tongtian agreed to Lu Changsheng's request and then cast Dingguang Xian into a cave mansion.

Suddenly, miserable screams rang out again.

The sound made the surrounding Jie Sect disciples tremble.

Dingguang Xian was truly finished now.

Even if he could regain his status as one of the Suishi Qixian after a hundred thousand years, that hundred-thousand-year gap was irrecoverable.

Not to mention the complete lack of cultivation resources.

Complex gazes fell upon Lu Changsheng.

After this battle, Lu Changsheng's name would quickly spread throughout the Jie Sect.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng, who only had the cultivation of a Mysterious Immortal, would receive the cultivation resources of Dingguang Xian, a Golden Immortal.

It was certain that his breakthrough to Golden Immortal was only a matter of time.

At this moment, Tongtian spoke again.

"When you cultivate the Dao, some conflict is inevitable."

"But you must remember, among fellow disciples, do not act rashly to kill."

"Anyone who harms a fellow disciple shall be expelled from the Jie Sect and severely punished without leniency!"

Tongtian was using Dingguang Xian's matter to admonish everyone.

He did not want the Jie Sect disciples to kill each other and fight to the death.

"Disciples remember!"

The Jie Sect disciples all responded.

Then Tongtian looked at everyone.

Under Tongtian's gaze, the disciples felt as if they were completely seen through, with no secrets remaining.

Just as many were wondering what Tongtian was about to do, he spoke.

"Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, Dong Quan..."

The five people he named hadn't even reacted to what was happening when Tongtian had already raised his palm and pointed at them.

Five spiritual lights simultaneously entered their foreheads.

After a brief moment of daze, expressions of immense joy erupted in their eyes.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance!"

The five spoke almost in unison.

"In the past hundred years, you have all made great progress. You must continue to strive."

This made the other disciples' eyes turn red with envy.

Although Tongtian had said before that those who progressed rapidly in cultivation could receive his personal guidance, seeing it happen before their eyes still shocked them immensely.

Regardless of what was within those five spiritual lights, just receiving guidance from a Saint, even a single word, was enough to benefit them for a lifetime.

"There are still two hundred years until the Jie Chan Discuss Dao."

"I have decided to bring twelve people to Kunlun Mountain at that time."

Tongtian added.

Since the Chan Sect had the Jade Void Twelve Immortals, he would also bring twelve Jie Sect disciples to the discussion.

Tongtian's two sentences instantly drew everyone's attention to the Jie Chan Discuss Dao.

Only Twelve Spots?

Given the sheer number of Jie Sect disciples, these Twelve Spots are far from a one-in-a-hundred or one-in-a-thousand selection.

"For fairness, there are no fixed candidates for these twelve spots."

"In a hundred years, I will set up twelve arenas on Golden Ao Island."

"Anyone confident in their strength can come forward to defend a spot."

"The one who remains standing on each arena will participate in the Jie Chan Discuss Dao event two hundred years from now."

These few sentences instantly caused a huge stir on Golden Ao Island.

The gazes of the Jie Sect disciples all became a few shades hotter.

From these words, they saw infinite possibilities.

The arena format undoubtedly favored challengers.

"Furthermore, from those who earn a spot in the discussion event a hundred years from now, I will select one person to become my personal disciple."

This statement was like dropping a bombshell on Golden Ao Island.

Personal disciple!

Even among Saint disciples, there were differences in status.

Generally speaking, only personal disciples could receive direct guidance and enlightenment from a Saint.

Although Jie Sect was known as the gathering place of ten thousand immortals, Tongtian's publicly acknowledged personal disciples were only four: Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Guiling Shengmu.

Below personal disciples were outer disciples.

These disciples generally did not have the right to receive direct guidance from a Saint, only being able to listen in when the Saint preached.

Figures like Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming were considered top-tier among the outer disciples.

However, due to the vast number of Jie Sect disciples, many who joined later didn't even have the chance to hear Tongtian preach.

And now, there was an opportunity to become Tongtian's personal disciple!

This was even more enticing than participating in the Jie Chan Discuss Dao.

Seeing the fervent and excited eyes of the Jie Sect disciples, Tongtian's heart stirred.

In fact, the personal disciple position was something he thought of on the spot.

This Jie Chan Discuss Dao was not only an opportunity for Jie Sect to prove themselves but also for Chan Sect.

Especially after Huanglong Zhenren had just been defeated by Xuan Jun.

The enraged Yuanshi would absolutely not allow the same thing to happen again.

It could be predicted that Yuanshi would do his best to increase the strength of the Jade Void Twelve Immortals in the remaining two hundred years.

Therefore, Jie Sect could not fall behind.

He believed that the temptation of a personal disciple would make the Jie Sect disciples work even harder.

He also looked forward to disciples emerging from Jie Sect who could impress him.

"You may all return to cultivate."

"Lu Changsheng, you will come with me to Biyou Palace."

Tongtian spoke and returned to Biyou Palace first.

Lu Changsheng put away his Ling Yun Jian and walked towards Biyou Palace.

But after taking just one step, he suddenly thought of something and beckoned with his right hand towards a corner of Golden Ao Island.

The next moment, a dark gleam fell into Lu Changsheng's hand.

It was the Hunyuan Hammer!

"Wait a moment!"

A hurried shout rang out.

Lu Changsheng looked over and saw a burly, black-bearded Daoist standing there.

He quickly found this person's identity from the depths of his memory.

It was Qiu Shou Xian, one of the Suishi Qixian.

"What, are you going to avenge Dingguang Xian?"

Qiu Shou Xian quickly shook his head.

Don't joke, avenge Dingguang Xian?

Dingguang Xian was no match for Lu Changsheng, so what about him?

Moreover, he could feel that the moment he called out to stop Lu Changsheng, an icy gaze had fallen upon him.

Yunxiao!

That feeling of being watched made him extremely uneasy.

Qiu Shou Xian had no doubt that if he dared to make any rash move, he would immediately face Yunxiao's attack.

"Dingguang Xian brought it upon himself; he has no one else to blame."

"What I want to say is, the Hunyuan Hammer is Wuyunxian's Magic Treasure. I hope you'll return it."

This was Qiu Shou Xian's true objective.

Lu Changsheng raised the Hunyuan Hammer in his hand.

"What if I refuse to return it?"
