Won't I Snatch Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

After leaving Zhang Yifan's location, Sect Master Tongtian revisited various old sites from the Investiture of the Gods Calamity before returning to Golden Ao Island.

Golden Ao Island, once a treasure island where ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, was now deserted.

Golden Ao Island had also been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years.

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

At the entrance to the island's formation array, outside the Saints' great formation, there was a small thatched hut with a wisp of cooking smoke rising from it.

"Hmm?"

Tongtian was surprised. After Golden Ao Island was sealed, the spiritual energy here had been cut off, and even demonic beasts wouldn't stay here. How could there still be signs of human habitation?

Who was here?

Sect Master Tongtian was puzzled. Without resorting to divination, he descended from the clouds and landed not far from the thatched hut.

After hundreds of thousands of years, he no longer practiced divination or calculation. He had long grown accustomed to seeing with his eyes, feeling with his body, and sensing with his heart.

The thatched hut before him consisted of only two small rooms and a fenced yard.

Vegetables and fruits were planted in the yard, along with a few chickens and a small dog.

It resembled a secluded paradise, a place of pastoral tranquility.

"This place… it looks just like Grandpa's yard?"

Indeed, it did bear a resemblance to Zhang Yifan's residence.

Sect Master Tongtian, filled with curiosity, pushed open the fence gate and walked in.

The thatched hut emitting smoke was a kitchen.

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

Upon seeing this woman, Sect Master Tongtian's body trembled violently!

It was her!

After hundreds of thousands of years.

Had she been guarding this place all along?

At this moment, Sect Master Tongtian's nose stung, and his eyes even became a little moist.

A Saint, yet he felt like an ordinary mortal, on the verge of tears.

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

"Stir-fried bitter melon with eggs." The woman, without turning her head, playfully scolded, "Brother Gongming, is your nose better than a dog's? You always show up when I'm cooking."

Gongming?

Zhao Gongming?

Did he also frequently return to Golden Ao Island?

"Don't I just miss your cooking?" Sect Master Tongtian did not reveal his identity.

"Then wait a moment. I'll go pick some chili peppers and stir-fry some chicken." The woman scooped out the freshly stir-fried bitter melon and eggs, turned around, and saw Sect Master Tongtian.

Clang.

The woman's mind was greatly shaken.

The dishes she had just cooked fell to the ground.

"Brother Gongming, how could you do this! How could you transform 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 showed disbelief. She stumbled back several steps, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

"No, it's not real. I must be dreaming." The woman shook her head, refusing to believe it.

She had thought of him day and night, every day for hundreds of thousands of years, believing he would surely appear tomorrow.

But after hundreds of thousands of years, every day had been filled with disappointment and emptiness!

Every single day!

This had to be fake.

Sect Master Tongtian's heart ached. He walked over and embraced the woman tightly, "It's real. I'm back, Yunxiao."

"Waaaaah!"

The woman, Yunxiao, burst into tears, crying and shouting with all her might, "Where did you go? Where did you go!"

"It's been 150,000 years! Do you know it's been 150,000 years! Do you know!"

"I know, I know." Sect Master Tongtian comforted Yunxiao, letting her punch his chest.

One of his most beloved disciples had actually guarded Golden Ao Island for 150,000 years, waiting for him to return.

Grandpa was right. I, Sect Master Tongtian, am the biggest failure in the Primordial Era!

Sect Master Tongtian recalled Zhang Yifan's evaluation and couldn't help but feel regret.

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

"Sect Master, please sit down. I'll cook another dish for you." Yunxiao wiped away her tears, her face full of smiles.

After crying, she was so happy!

The Sect Master had returned!

After waiting for over a hundred thousand years, he was finally back.

"Okay." Sect Master Tongtian didn't stop her.

Yunxiao immediately went skipping off to pick vegetables, no longer looking like a married woman but like a joyful young girl in her prime.

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

"Sect Master, what kind of tea is this? It smells so good," Yunxiao asked, unable to resist the aroma.

"Enlightenment Tea," Sect Master Tongtian said with a smile.

"Enlightenment Tea?!" Yunxiao exclaimed. "How could you bring out something so precious to brew for me? You should quickly put it away."

As she spoke, she tried to put down the teacup, refusing to drink.

This was Enlightenment Tea!

Even Saints coveted it!

Currently, the rumor was that only Dao Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace had a tiny bit of it.

It was incredibly valuable.

"Silly girl, no matter how precious this tea is, it's not as precious as you are, nor as precious as your fellow disciples!"

Sect Master Tongtian shook his head and stopped Yunxiao.

"Sect Master..." Yunxiao was very touched.

"Drink it without worry, drink it boldly. I have plenty here."

As Tongtian spoke, he brought out a sack of Enlightenment Tea.

???

???

"This is all...? Enlightenment Tea?!" Yunxiao was stunned, her mouth agape wide enough to fit a large egg.

"That's right, this is all Enlightenment Tea! You can keep it safe for now. Later, I'll also give some out for your fellow disciples and junior uncles to try."

"This! Sect Master, didn't you rob Dao Ancestor Hongjun's entire fortune? Where did all this Enlightenment Tea come from?"

A whole sack, a whole sack!

This wasn't wild vegetables by the roadside; this was Enlightenment Tea!

In the Primordial Era World, Dao Ancestor Hongjun only had a tiny bit!

"My grandfather gave it to me," Sect Master Tongtian said with a smile.

"Grandfather????"

Yunxiao was shocked again.

What was going on?

The Sect Master had a grandfather?

That couldn't be right. The Sect Master was a direct descendant of Pangu, transformed from the primordial spirit of the great Pangu. If he had family, it would be a father, not a grandfather.

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

Was it Pangu's father who gave it to the Sect Master?

But she heard that the great Pangu hatched from an egg and took human form.

The more Yunxiao thought about it, the more shocked and incredulous she became.

Because it was impossible for it to be from some old man in the mortal world whom the Sect Master met while traveling.

Someone who even Saints called grandfather, could he be an ordinary person?

Impossible!

"That's right, grandfather. He's an old man from the mortal realm," Tongtian nodded.

Ah, this.

No way, he's really a mortal?

"This grandfather is a mortal, and yet not a mortal."

Sect Master Tongtian saw Yunxiao's thoughts and smiled, "You don't need to overthink it. I will definitely find an opportunity to take you to meet him. There is an unimaginably great opportunity there."

"A great opportunity? Unimaginably great?" Yunxiao's heart trembled.

Even the Sect Master, a Saint, called it unimaginably great, so it must be truly astonishing.

That opportunity must be unimaginably great.

"Mm, you keep the Enlightenment Tea, then go find Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and your Brother Gongming."

"Two months from now, you will meet at Golden Ao Island, and I will take you to meet my grandfather."

The way Sect Master Tongtian referred to his grandfather was completely natural, he was already used to calling him that.

But Yunxiao still felt a bit strange hearing Sect Master Tongtian call someone grandfather.

In this world, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't make the Three Pure Ones call him grandfather.

What kind of existence was this grandfather?

Yunxiao was filled with curiosity and anticipation.
