Dao Ancestor Hongjun said softly, "With the Journey to the West Tribulation restarting, you'll naturally be able to acquire hundreds of millions of believers for the Western Teachings again."
"But who is the mastermind behind this? Teacher, could you give us some guidance?" Sage Jieyin looked troubled.
"I don't know either." Hongjun shook his head.
After the incident at Spiritual Mountain in the west, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had also deduced the secrets of heaven. He had even used the Jade of Creation to communicate with the Heavenly Dao in his capacity as its representative, but he still failed to obtain any accurate information.
The secrets of heaven were shrouded in mist. They were completely impossible to see through or deduce.
"Ah?!!"
Sage Zhunti, Sage Jieyin, and Tathagata Buddha were all shocked.
There was actually something even Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't deduce?
How was that possible?
One had to know that Hongjun had merged with the Dao itself. He was known as the representative of the Heavenly Dao, and perhaps he would become the Heavenly Dao in the future.
There was actually something even the Heavenly Dao couldn't perceive.
It was simply inconceivable.
Could the mastermind behind this be even more powerful than the Heavenly Dao?
Could such a person really exist?
Could it be the Great Dao?
Sage Zhunti began crying again. "Then what should we do? If those masterminds interfere and cause trouble in secret, I'm afraid the Journey to the West Tribulation won't be able to restart!"
"You wretched fool, could you stop crying already? You're being really annoying." Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't help swearing.
Oh, this was bad!
Sage Zhunti hurriedly shut his mouth, his tearful face instantly turning into an ingratiating grin.
They would be in trouble if they angered Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"The masterminds behind this are currently only at the Early Sage Stage. You have two Sages, which is more than enough to deal with them. To ensure that the Journey to the West Tribulation restarts smoothly, I'll give you another Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal title."
"Really?!!"
Tathagata Buddha, Sage Zhunti, and Sage Jieyin were overjoyed.
"Yes. Tathagata is a Saint destined by heaven, so I'll simply grant it to him a little ahead of time."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded. With a wave of his hand, he drew open an ancient, desolate stone door before them.
"This is the Chaos Limitless Secret Realm, which I obtained while traveling through the chaos. It contains the laws of the Heavenly Dao in astonishing clarity. If you cultivate in this secret realm, you'll definitely become a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal within a hundred years."
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"
Tathagata Buddha was ecstatic and repeatedly kowtowed.
Once he became a Saint, once he became a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, what would there be left to fear?
"Thank you, Teacher!"
"If there's ever anywhere you need the Western Teachings in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, Teacher!"
Sage Jieyin and Sage Zhunti were incredibly happy. They repeatedly bowed in thanks while thumping their chests and making grand promises.
Three Saints from one sect!
In the primordial world, what person or sect could possess such supreme strength?
The Western Teachings were destined to flourish!
Zhunti and Sage Jieyin were as happy as children.
Tathagata Buddha was also extremely excited. He then entered the Chaos Limitless Secret Realm to cultivate.
Golden Ao Island.
Sect Master Tongtian had cursed Dao Ancestor Hongjun and was punished with a thousand years of facing the wall on Golden Ao Island.
At that moment, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming had all arrived at Golden Ao Island.
"Junior Sister, are you serious? The sect master's grandpa?"
After Yunxiao revealed the origin of the Enlightenment Tea, Zhao Gongming had been itching with curiosity.
If he hadn't been afraid of someone overhearing, he would have asked long ago. He absolutely wouldn't have waited until they reached Golden Ao Island.
"Senior Brother, why would I lie to you? That's what the sect master said himself." Yunxiao giggled.
Where was the slightest trace of a middle-aged woman left on Yunxiao?
Her face was now youthful, fair, and delicate, with breathtaking features. She wore a white dress and a pink flower in her hair, hopping and skipping like a charming girl in the bloom of youth.
"I just can't believe it! A Saint's grandpa? That's simply too inconceivable." Zhao Gongming was still shaken to his core.
Who in all the heavens and earth could be the grandpa of the Three Pure Ones?
Even the most powerful Dao Ancestor Hongjun would have to stand aside.
Who exactly was this person?
He really wanted to meet him immediately.

"Alright, Senior Brother. Your little sister would never lie to you. You can let the sect master tell you himself! Hurry up, let's go. I really want to see the sect master soon too." Qiongxiao tugged at Zhao Gongming, urging him to walk faster.
Deep within Golden Ao Island stood palace after palace, arranged in orderly rows and magnificent beyond compare.
Unfortunately, the people had all left. The place was now cold and deserted, with no one around—not even any auspicious or immortal beasts.
Sect Master Tongtian sat in an ordinary little courtyard.
"Master!"
When they saw Sect Master Tongtian, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming burst into tears of joy, rushing over and kneeling at his feet.
"You're finally back! Boohoohoo!"
"We missed you so much, Master."
"That's right. Don't abandon us again in the future."
Qiongxiao and Bixiao shed tears of happiness. Zhao Gongming was much the same, tears of joy streaming down his face as well.
Sect Master Tongtian's nose stung, and warmth filled his heart. He revealed a happy smile. "Alright, alright, my good disciples. You're all several million years old already. What's the point of crying and sobbing like this? I promise you, I'll never leave you again."
"Pinky promise!" Qiongxiao immediately held out her little finger.
"Sure, pinky promise." Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily. "Pinky swear, hook and pull. It won't change for a hundred million years."
"Yay!"
Qiongxiao, Yunxiao, and Bixiao were so happy they nearly flew into the air.
Sect Master Tongtian was deeply comforted as well.
The many believers of the Interception Sect had been abducted by the Western Teachings and never returned.
Only these people before him had remained steadfast, never leaving his side. They had even abandoned their duties as heavenly gods and violated the heavenly laws just to stay on Golden Ao Island and wait for his return.
"Master, was that Enlightenment Tea really given by your... grandpa?" Zhao Gongming could no longer hold back and asked again.
"Yes."
"Ah!"
Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao were once again utterly stunned.
Although Yunxiao had mentioned it, and although they believed Yunxiao would never lie, hearing it directly from Sect Master Tongtian himself was truly shocking.
"Just what kind of divine being could actually be your grandpa, Master?"
"It was merely a coincidental stroke of fate."
Recalling the prank played by the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian, Sect Master Tongtian couldn't help smiling bitterly. He then said to San Xiao and the others, "Prepare yourselves. Today, you'll come with me to meet your great-grandpa."
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and Zhao Gongming were overjoyed. They clapped and cheered repeatedly.
A Saint's grandpa—they absolutely had to see what astonishing qualities he possessed.
What did he look like?
Perhaps there would even be a great opportunity waiting for them!
Yunxiao and the others were both expectant and nervous!
Yang Jian: Yunxiao, Little Niece, Aren't You Going to Call Me Uncle?
Golden Ao Island.
Sect Master Tongtian said he would take the four of them to meet their great-grandpa, and all four were incredibly happy.
They were expectant, delighted, and nervous all at once.
They were going to meet the grandpa of their sect master, a Saint—to meet this super, invincible great power. How could they not be nervous?
It was a hundred times more nerve-racking than a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time.
"Hahahaha! Let's go!"
Seeing their anticipation and nervousness, Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily and waved his hand, taking them away with him.
A thousand years of facing the wall on Golden Ao Island?
To hell with facing the wall for a thousand years!
Sect Master Tongtian laughed loudly. He didn't give a damn about Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
The human world.
Not far outside Zhang Yifan's little farmhouse.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother had also arrived with their daughters.
