Could He Have Robbed Dao Ancestor Hongjun?!

Only now did they discover that such fine wine existed in this world.

The Jade Nectar they had once treasured was, compared to this wine, damn it, not even as good as horse piss!

So the wine the Jade Emperor had drunk before was merely horse-piss-like wine too.

Only Grandpa's wine could truly be called wine.

One sniff, and his cultivation soared.

One sip, and his cultivation skyrocketed!

Incredible. Simply incredible!

At this moment, all the gods of the Heavenly Court revered and feared Zhang Yifan even more.

Chapter 24: Could He Have Robbed Dao Ancestor Hongjun?!

After leaving Zhang Yifan's residence, Sect Master Tongtian traveled around and revisited the various old sites connected to the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation before returning to Golden Ao Island.

Golden Ao Island, once a treasured island where myriad immortals had paid homage, was now completely deserted.

Golden Ao Island had been closed off for more than a hundred thousand years.

Standing atop the clouds, Sect Master Tongtian was filled with emotion. He had finally returned today.

At the entrance to the island's formation, outside the Saint Grand Formation, stood a small thatched cottage. A wisp of cooking smoke drifted above it.

"Hmm?"

Tongtian was surprised. After Golden Ao Island had been sealed off, its spiritual energy had been cut off, and even demonic beasts were unwilling to stay here. How could there still be signs of human life?

Who was here?

Sect Master Tongtian was puzzled. He did not pinch his fingers to perform deductions, but instead descended from the clouds and landed not far outside the thatched cottage.

After more than a hundred thousand years, he had long since stopped making deductions and calculations. He had grown accustomed to observing with his eyes, sensing with his body, and feeling with his heart.

The thatched cottage before him consisted of only two small rooms, along with a fenced-in yard.

Some vegetables and melons grew in the yard, along with a few chickens and a small dog.

It looked like a secluded paradise hidden among pastoral mountains and waters.

"How does this place look exactly like Grandpa's yard?"

Indeed, it really did resemble Zhang Yifan's residence.

Curious, Sect Master Tongtian pushed open the fence gate and walked inside.

The thatched cottage with smoke rising from it was a kitchen.

At that moment, a woman was stir-frying food.

When he saw the woman, Sect Master Tongtian's body shook violently!

It was her!

After more than a hundred thousand years...

Had she been guarding this place all this time?

At that moment, Sect Master Tongtian's nose stung, and his eyes actually grew moist.

A Saint had unexpectedly felt like an ordinary mortal, with the urge to cry.

"What smells so good? What are you frying?" Sect Master Tongtian asked.

"Bitter melon with scrambled eggs." The woman did not turn around. Instead, she laughed and scolded, "Senior Brother Gongming, is your nose a dog's nose? You come every time I cook."

Gongming?

Zhao Gongming?

Did he often return to Golden Ao Island as well?

"Don't I want to eat your cooking?" Sect Master Tongtian said without revealing his identity.

"Then wait a moment. I'll pick a chili and fry some chicken." The woman served the bitter melon with scrambled eggs onto a plate and turned around, just in time to see Sect Master Tongtian.

Clang!

The woman's mind shook violently.

The freshly cooked dish fell to the ground.

"Senior Brother Gongming, how could you do this?! How could you transform yourself into the Sect Master's appearance?!"

The woman was furious!

"Silly child, it's me." Sect Master Tongtian shook his head.

The woman's body trembled. Her face was filled with disbelief as she stumbled backward several steps, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

"No, this can't be real. I must be dreaming." The woman shook her head in disbelief.

For more than a hundred thousand years, she had thought of him day and night, always believing that he would appear tomorrow, that he would surely appear tomorrow.

But more than a hundred thousand years had passed, and every single day had ended in crushing disappointment!

Every day!

This had to be fake.

Sect Master Tongtian's heart ached. He walked over and pulled the woman into his arms. "It's real. I'm back, Yunxiao."

"Waaah, sob sob sob!"

The woman, Yunxiao, immediately burst into tears. As she cried, she screamed with all her heart, "Where did you go? Where did you go?!"

"It has been a hundred and fifty thousand years! A hundred and fifty thousand years, do you know that?! Do you know?!"

"I know. I know." Sect Master Tongtian comforted Yunxiao, allowing her fists to pound against him.

This disciple whom he had once cherished most dearly had guarded Golden Ao Island all these hundred and fifty thousand years, staying here and waiting for his return.

Grandpa was right. I, Sect Master Tongtian, am the greatest good-for-nothing in the Primordial World!

Remembering Zhang Yifan's assessment, Sect Master Tongtian could not help feeling remorseful.

Yunxiao cried bitterly for a long time before finally leaving Sect Master Tongtian's embrace.

"Master, sit for a while. I'll fry another dish." Yunxiao wiped away her tears, her face full of smiles.

After crying, she was so happy!

Her Master had returned!

After waiting for more than a hundred thousand years, he had finally come back.

"All right." Sect Master Tongtian did not stop her.

Yunxiao immediately skipped off to pick vegetables. She no longer looked like a married woman at all; she was clearly a carefree girl in the bloom of youth.

After the meal, Sect Master Tongtian brewed a pot of tea for Yunxiao.

"Master, what kind of tea is this? It smells wonderful." Yunxiao could not help asking as she inhaled the tea's fragrance.

"Enlightenment Tea." Sect Master Tongtian smiled.

"Enlightenment Tea?!" Yunxiao was stunned. "Such a precious thing—why did you take it out and brew it for me, Master? You should put it away quickly."

As she spoke, she was about to set down her teacup and stop drinking.

This was Enlightenment Tea!

Something even Saints coveted!

According to the current rumors, only Dao Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace possessed a small pinch of it.

It was extraordinarily precious.

"Silly girl, no matter how precious this tea is, it isn't more precious than you. Nor is it more precious than all of you disciples!"

Sect Master Tongtian shook his head and stopped Yunxiao.

"Master..." Yunxiao was deeply moved.

"Drink without worry. Drink as much as you like. I have plenty here."

As Tongtian spoke, he took out that entire sack of Enlightenment Tea.

???

???

"This is all... Enlightenment Tea?!" Yunxiao was dumbfounded. Her tiny mouth could have fit a large egg inside.

"That's right, this is all Enlightenment Tea! You'll keep it safe today. Later, take some out for your senior and junior brothers and your martial uncles to try as well."

"Wait! Master, you couldn't have robbed Dao Ancestor Hongjun's entire stash, could you? Where did all this Enlightenment Tea come from?"

An entire sack—a whole sack!

This wasn't some wild vegetable growing by the roadside. This was Enlightenment Tea!

This chapter is not over. Please click the next page to continue!

In the Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Hongjun only had a small pinch of it!

"Grandpa gave it to me." Sect Master Tongtian smiled.

"Grandpa????"

Yunxiao was shocked once again.

What was going on?

Did Master have a grandfather?

No, that wasn't right. Master was Pangu's orthodox successor, transformed from the primordial spirit of Great God Pangu. If he had family, he should have a father. How could he possibly have a grandfather?

Could it be that Master had found Pangu's father?

Had Pangu's father given this to Master?
