Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start - Part 38

Dao Ancestor Hongjun said softly, "The restart of the Journey to the West will naturally grant your Western Teachings billions of believers once more."

"But who is the mastermind behind the scenes? Can the teacher offer some guidance?" Sage Jieyin asked with a melancholy expression.

"This Seat does not know either." Hongjun shook his head.

After the incident at Western Spiritual Mountain, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had also deduced the heavenly secrets, even using the Jade of Creation to communicate with the Heavenly Dao as its spokesperson, yet he obtained no accurate information.

Those heavenly secrets were shrouded in haze, covered by mist, completely unclear and impossible to deduce.

"Ah?!!"

Sage Zhunti, Sage Jieyin, and Tathagata Buddha were greatly shocked.

There were actually matters that even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not deduce?

How was this possible?

One must know, Hongjun had merged with the Dao! They called him the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, and perhaps in the future, he would become the Heavenly Dao itself.

Yet there were things even the Heavenly Dao could not see through.

It was utterly inconceivable.

Could this mastermind be even more formidable than the Heavenly Dao?

Did such a person exist?

Could it be the Great Dao?

Sage Zhunti started crying again: "What can we do then? If these masterminds secretly obstruct and cause trouble, the Journey to the West Tribulation might never restart!"

"You wretched fool, can you stop crying? It's very annoying." Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't help but curse.

Ah, this!

Sage Zhunti quickly shut his mouth, his crying face instantly shifting into a fawning, smiling expression.

Angering Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not end well.

"For now, the mastermind is merely at the Early Sage Stage with two sages. You have two sages of your own, enough to handle them. To ensure the safe restart of the Journey to the West, This Seat will grant you one more Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin fruit position."

"Really?!!"

Tathagata Buddha, Sage Zhunti, and Sage Jieyin were overjoyed!

"Yes. Tathagata is a destined sage; This Venerable will simply grant it a little early."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded, waving his hand. An ancient, desolate stone gate appeared before them.

"This is the Chaos Limitless Secret Realm, obtained by This Venerable while wandering through chaos. It contains the clearest laws of the Heavenly Dao. Cultivating within this secret realm, within a hundred years, one will surely become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin."

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

Tathagata Buddha was ecstatic, kowtowing repeatedly.

As long as he became a sage, as long as he became that Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, what was there to fear!

"Many thanks, Teacher!"

"Whenever the Western Teachings can be of use to you, Teacher, please do not hesitate!"

Sage Jieyin and Sage Zhunti were overjoyed, bowing repeatedly in thanks, even puffing out their chests with bold promises.

Three sages in one sect!

In the primordial wilderness, what person or sect could boast such supreme power?

The Western Teachings were destined to flourish!

Zhunti and Jieyin felt as happy as children inside.

Tathagata Buddha was also deeply moved, and then entered the Chaos Limitless Secret Realm to cultivate.

Golden Ao Island.

Sect Master Tongtian cursed Dao Ancestor Hongjun and was punished to face the wall on Golden Ao Island for a thousand years.

At this moment, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming all arrived at Golden Ao Island.

"Junior Sister, are you serious? The sect master's grandfather?"

After Yunxiao revealed the origin of the Enlightenment Tea, Zhao Gongming had been itching with curiosity.

If not for fear of being overheard, he would have asked long ago, never waiting until they reached Golden Ao Island.

"Senior Brother, why would I lie to you? The sect master said it himself." Yunxiao giggled.

Where was the middle-aged woman Yunxiao now?

Her face was youthful and fair, radiant with beauty. Dressed in a white skirt, with a pink flower pinned in her hair, she hopped and skipped, looking every bit the lively, charming young girl.

"I just can't believe it! A sage's grandfather? This is too mind-boggling." Zhao Gongming's heart was still shaken.

In heaven and earth, who could be the grandfather of the Three Pure Ones?

Even the most formidable Dao Ancestor Hongjun would have to step aside.

Who on earth was this person?

I can't wait to see him right now.

"Alright, senior brother, little sister would never trick you. Let the Sect Master tell you himself! Hurry up and walk. I can't wait to see the Sect Master either." Qiongxiao tugged at Zhao Gongming, urging him to quicken his pace.

Deep within Golden Ao Island, palaces stood in clusters, row upon row, magnificent beyond measure.

But sadly, the people had left and the buildings stood empty. Now it was desolate and quiet, with no one around, nor any auspicious beasts or immortal creatures.

Sect Master Tongtian sat in an ordinary little courtyard.

"Sect Master!"

Seeing Sect Master Tongtian, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming wept tears of joy, rushing over to kneel at his feet.

"You're finally back! Wuwuwuwu..."

"We missed you so much, Sect Master."

"That's right, don't abandon us again from now on."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao shed tears of happiness, and Zhao Gongming was much the same, crying tears of joy as well.

Sect Master Tongtian's nose tingled, warmth filled his heart, and he broke into a happy smile: "Alright, alright, my good disciples. You're all adults of several million years now—crying and sobbing, what kind of picture is that? Your master promises you, I will never leave you again from now on."

"Pinky swear!" Qiongxiao immediately stuck out her little finger.

"Fine, pinky swear." Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily: "Pinky swear, a hundred million years won't change it."

"Yay!"

Qiongxiao, Yunxiao, and Bixiao leaped with joy.

Sect Master Tongtian felt deeply gratified as well.

Countless followers of the Interception Teachings had been taken away by the Western Teachings and never returned.

Only these few before him had remained steadfast, unwilling to abandon him, even willing to cast aside their duties as Heavenly Gods and defy the heavenly laws, just to stay on Golden Ao Island and wait for his return.

"Sect Master, that Enlightenment Tea... was it 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 shaken.

Although Yunxiao had mentioned it, and they believed Yunxiao wouldn't lie, hearing it directly from Sect Master Tongtian's mouth was the truly shocking part.

"Just what kind of divine being could actually become your grandfather, Sect Master?"

"It was a stroke of fate."

Thinking back to the pranks played by the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian, Sect Master Tongtian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He then said to San Xiao and the others: "Prepare yourselves. Today, you will come with your master to meet this great-grandfather of yours."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and Zhao Gongming were overjoyed, clapping and cheering repeatedly.

A Saint's grandfather—today they absolutely had to see what was so astonishing about him.

What was he like, exactly?

Perhaps there would even be a great opportunity!

Yunxiao and the others were both expectant and nervous!

Golden Ao Island.

Sect Master Tongtian said he would take Yunxiao and the other three to meet their great-grandfather, and all four were overjoyed.

They were expectant, happy, and nervous all at once.

Going to meet the grandfather of a Saint, a Saint of the Sect Master's caliber—facing this supremely invincible great power, how could they not be nervous?

It was a hundred times more nerve-wracking than a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time.

"Hahahaha! Let's go!"

Seeing their expectant yet nervous expressions, Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily, waved his hand, and whisked them away.

A thousand years of facing the wall on Golden Ao Island?

To hell with a thousand years of facing the wall!

Sect Master Tongtian laughed—he couldn't care less about Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

The Mortal Realm.

Not far from Zhang Yifan's little farmhouse courtyard.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother had also arrived with their Daughters.
