They could only compete for as much benefit as possible beneath the mandate of Heaven.
The higher his cultivation, the more the Grand Pure Sage could understand.
"Not to be spoken of, not to be spoken of. Big Brother will see him sooner or later." Sect Master Tongtian did not answer.
"I call him Grandpa." In the end, Tongtian added one more sentence.
???
"Grandpa?!"
The Grand Pure Sage cried out in shock!
What was going on?
Was he joking?!
Who could be worthy of being a Saint's grandfather?!!
Even Pangu, the Great God who had created the world, had only been worthy of their Three Pure Ones respectfully calling him Father God!
That was all!
And now, Grandpa?
Pangu, the Father God's father?
Could that be possible?
The Grand Pure Sage felt as if his head was about to explode.
The amount of information was simply too vast, too horrifying!
With just this information, the Grand Pure Sage could foresee that a great calamity was about to descend upon the Primordial World.
This calamity would be more terrifying than every previous Primordial World Tribulation!
Behind the Primordial World, someone was playing a grand game of chess!
Whipping All the Saints
Within the endless chaos.
The Grand Pure Sage and the Upper Pure Sage, Sect Master Tongtian, were locked in a fierce battle, neither able to gain the upper hand.
The chaos shattered and reformed without end.
There were still Saints in the Primordial World!
The shocking news had struck the Grand Pure Sage like raging waves, making him cry out that it was impossible.
But even more shocking was that Sect Master Tongtian, this Third Brother of his, actually called that person Grandpa!
What the hell was this!
Terrifying!
Just thinking about it made the Grand Pure Sage's scalp prickle.
He was not afraid of the Saint Tongtian had mentioned but whom he had never met.
He was afraid of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He was afraid of the Heavenly Dao!
How could the Heavenly Dao tolerate someone else sleeping soundly at its side?
How could it possibly allow someone to defy Heaven?!
"You intend to become enemies with Teacher? You'll suffer for this." The Grand Pure Sage spoke.
"What is there to fear?"
Sect Master Tongtian was utterly fearless.
"You certainly have great courage."
"As for Lao Jun's clone, I'll temporarily spare that little Jade Emperor, but this matter cannot end here."
"Thank you, Big Brother."
Tongtian rejoiced inwardly. The mess the Jade Emperor had caused had been resolved.
He had also resolved one matter for Grandpa Zhang Yifan.
"Please." The Grand Pure Sage nodded.
Sect Master Tongtian nodded in response. The act still had to continue. With a wave of his hand, the Immortal Slaying Four Swords instantly shot into the sky and charged into the chaos.
"Are they going all out?" The Jade Emperor furrowed his brow. Even the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had been taken away.
It seemed that there was still a huge gap between Sect Master Tongtian and the Grand Pure Sage in terms of strength.
"Rise, sword formation!" With the sword in hand, Sect Master Tongtian's Saint aura suddenly surged, rising to an exceedingly terrifying level.
Even a half-step Saint caught within it would probably be twisted into ashes and annihilated in a single breath.
The Grand Pure Sage also unleashed his full-strength attack!
By an incredible coincidence, both their attacks deviated slightly.
The supreme might of the Grand Pure Sage and Sect Master Tongtian's vast sword intent both struck back into the Primordial World!
Rumble!
The Ninth Heaven shattered, and the Primordial World itself was split into two massive pieces by their attacks!
Billions upon billions of living beings vanished in an instant, their bodies and souls destroyed!
What the hell!
Was this for real?
They had actually struck the Primordial Continent!
The countless mighty figures of the Primordial World were shaken to the core. They rose one after another, attacked, and brought out their strongest formations and methods to protect the Primordial World.
If they left it unchecked, the Primordial Continent would be torn to pieces beneath the Saints' attacks!
Suddenly, the Primordial Continent and the Ninth Heaven were frozen in time and space.
A terrifying aura that made one tremble poured down like a river of stars from the Nine Heavens. It descended from above—that was the aura of the Heavenly Dao!
The Primordial Continent, which had been shattered into two pieces, recombined into one. The billions of dead living beings resurrected on the spot.
The might of the Heavenly Dao was truly terrifying.
Above the Nine Heavens, a black-and-white eye suddenly opened!
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment?!
Sage Zhunti, Sage Jieyin, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and the other Saints all trembled.
After countless years, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment had appeared once more!
"All of you, stop."
A voice utterly devoid of emotion resounded across the Primordial Continent and above the Nine Heavens.
A terrifying force swept over the Grand Pure Sage and Sect Master Tongtian, forcibly stopping the two who had been locked in a battle to the death.
An old man in a gray Daoist robe appeared before them. His expression was extremely indifferent, showing neither sorrow nor joy.
"Teacher."
The Grand Pure Sage bowed in salute, his mind shaking violently.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strength was actually this formidable. He could directly separate the two of them and prevent them from fighting!
Everyone in the Primordial World said that the Grand Pure Sage was directly comparable to Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Now that he saw this, it was truly laughable. The Grand Pure Sage mused inwardly.
"Teacher." Sect Master Tongtian merely called out without bowing.
Zhunti, Jieyin, Primordial Lord of Heaven, Nuwa, and several other Saints also appeared in the chaos.
"Teacher!" The Saints bowed in salute one after another.
It had been over a hundred thousand years. They had not seen Teacher for over a hundred thousand years.
Now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had appeared, how could they not come?
"Mm. Follow me." Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded slightly and took one step, arriving above the Heaven.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!" The gods of the Heaven knelt in worship one after another.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were no exception as they cupped their hands in salute.
"I already know the cause of this matter."
"The Jade Emperor obstructed the Journey to the West Tribulation, killed a Saint's benevolent corpse clone, and insulted the dignity of a Saint. He may escape the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment."
"Now remove the Heaven-protecting formation of the Heaven and suspend the Jade Emperor's authority to mobilize the power of the Three Realms."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice was soft, yet unquestionable.
The Jade Emperor furrowed his brow.
Without the Heaven-protecting formation, how was the Heaven supposed to defend itself?
Without the ability to mobilize the power of the Three Realms, how could he contend with the Saints?
The Jade Emperor understood. This was turning him into a lamb among wolves.
Anyone could come and take a bite.
Fortunately, Old Father Zhang Yifan existed, so none of this mattered.
"Is that all, Teacher?" The Grand Pure Sage's expression was grim, but he still refused to let the matter go.
