Is your skin itching?!
A single sentence from the Jade Emperor echoed throughout the Primordial Era World.
"You!" Sect Master Tongtian was so furious that his clenched fists crackled.
Yet he did not refute it.
"Wow, what?"
The gods of the Primordial Era erupted into an uproar, all talking at once.
What was going on?
What happened?
Sect Master Tongtian actually did not deny it?
He was clearly angry, yet he did not make a move?
Was he admitting it?
The Jade Emperor was his uncle?
My hair!!!
The mighty Sect Master Tongtian, a Heavenly Dao Saint, had actually been called "nephew" by the Jade Emperor?
Tathagata nearly tumbled off his throne with a somersault.
Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi spat out a mouthful of tea.
Netherworld Patriarch Minghe also stared at the scene in utter shock.
Was this for real?
Were they all dreaming?
Nephew?
Sect Master Tongtian was the Jade Emperor's nephew?
In the Palace of the Snail, Saint Nuwa was stunned as well.
Junti and Saint Jieyin were both dumbfounded. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court gods felt as if they were hallucinating.
As if their lives were flashing before their eyes.
As if this were merely their final fantasy before death, before their primordial spirits were utterly destroyed.
Heavenly Court.
"What do you mean, 'you'?!"
The Jade Emperor laughed wildly inside, but his face remained furious as he lectured Sect Master Tongtian. "Look at your eldest brother, huh? He actually wants to kill your uncle! He has no respect for his elders at all. This is outright rebellion!"
Sect Master Tongtian: "..."
Fuck, couldn't you say a little less?
Anger surged in Grand Pure Saint's heart as he questioned Sect Master Tongtian, "What is going on?"
Before Tongtian could speak, the Jade Emperor spoke again. "What do you mean, what's going on? Little Tongtong is my nephew. You're Little Tongtong's eldest brother, so you're my nephew too!"
"You, a nephew, actually wanted to kill your uncle. I'd say your skin is itching. If I don't beat your ass until it blossoms later, I won't believe it!"
???
???
???
The celestial gods were dumbfounded once more.
The Primordial Era Mighty Beings were dumbfounded once more.
Little Tongtong?
Grand Pure Saint was his nephew too?
He even wanted to beat Grand Pure Saint's ass until it blossomed?
My hair!
All beings of the Primordial Era trembled.
They had seen arrogant people before, but never anyone this arrogant!
Calling a Saint his nephew was shocking enough.
Yet he actually wanted to beat a Saint's ass until it blossomed!
"You insolent brat!" Grand Pure Saint was truly enraged. "Tongtian! You explain."
Being demeaned like this was already intolerable, yet Sect Master Tongtian still did not refute it.
Sect Master Tongtian took a deep breath. "Eldest Brother, let Laojun's death end here."
"What?!!"
Grand Pure Saint flew into a rage. "You're actually helping an outsider?"
"What do you mean, helping an outsider? Little Tongtong is my nephew! He's helping me, his uncle!" the Jade Emperor abruptly added.
"Just shut up!" Sect Master Tongtian shouted coldly. "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak."
"Hmph." The Jade Emperor snorted. Seeing that he had gained enough, he did not provoke Grand Pure Saint further.
His objective had been achieved. If he kept talking, it might backfire.
???
Grand Pure Saint grew increasingly furious, and increasingly confused.
What exactly had happened?!
"Damn it!" Grand Pure Saint glared at the Jade Emperor, raised his carrying pole, and struck down again.
Clang.
Boom.
Sect Master Tongtian raised his sword and blocked the strike before the Heavenly Court grand formation.
"Are you determined to stop me?"
"Yes."
Sect Master Tongtian's answer was crisp and direct.
"Then let Eldest Brother see whether you've improved over these years."
Grand Pure Saint spoke coldly, took a step forward, and arrived beyond the Primordial Era World, within the chaos.
"Fine." Sect Master Tongtian sighed. He knew Grand Pure Saint was truly enraged and truly intended to vent with all his strength.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to fight in the boundless chaos.
He was simply afraid of shattering the Primordial Era.
"Lend me the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler," Sect Master Tongtian said to the Jade Emperor.
"Take it!" With a wave of his hand, the Jade Emperor gave the ruler to Sect Master Tongtian.
Tongtian had left behind the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to protect the Heavenly Court. What reason did he have to refuse?
Tongtian accepted the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, stepped forward, and entered the boundless chaos as well.
Boom!
The instant he entered the chaos, Grand Pure Saint launched a ferocious attack.
Rumble—
Under Grand Pure Saint's immense power, countless small worlds seemed to be born within the boundless chaos, only to vanish in an instant.
"The method of opening heaven? Eldest Brother's cultivation is actually this profound?!"
Sect Master Tongtian was deeply shocked.
Grand Pure Saint was actually so powerful that he could create worlds within chaos?
Even if they were merely phantom worlds like bubbles, it was still astonishing.
Even touching the threshold of the method of opening heaven was extraordinarily heaven-defying!
Sect Master Tongtian swung the ruler to meet the attack, Saint's Power surging!
In an instant, the boundless chaos churned like a raging tsunami, overturning heaven and earth.
The Primordial Era Mighty Beings all watched this battle.
On Kunlun Mountain, Primeval Lord of Heaven, who had been in seclusion all this time, opened his eyes and gazed into the boundless chaos.
"Eldest Brother's strength is truly terrifying. Third Brother's fallen cultivation realm has actually returned as well? It seems the knot left by the Investiture of the Gods Calamity has also been untied."
The moment the thought arose, Primeval Lord of Heaven understood the cause and effect behind their battle.
Grand Pure Saint and Sect Master Tongtian, the Upper Pure Saint, fought to a standstill.
They battled fiercely for an entire month, yet they were still fighting.
Neither held anything back, unleashing every kind of divine ability to the utmost.
Grand Pure Saint was consolidating his cultivation.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Tongtian was also tempering the realm he had only just recovered.
"Why does that Jade Emperor brat call you his nephew?" Grand Pure Saint asked coldly. His attacks did not pause, every move aimed to kill.
Sect Master Tongtian waved his hand, concealing the heavenly secrets.
"Eldest Brother, there are other Saints in the Primordial Era." Sect Master Tongtian did not hide it and spoke plainly.
He remembered his grandfather Zhang Yifan mentioning that for the Primordial Era World to advance, they needed to summon the phantom of Pangu's Primordial Spirit once more.
And to summon the phantom of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, they needed the Three Pure Ones.
Rather than keep things hidden, it was better to reveal a little first.
"Nonsense. There are six Heavenly Dao Saints. You and I are here, so naturally there are other Saints," Grand Pure Saint snorted.
"No, no. This Saint exists beyond the Heavenly Dao Saints and was not a guest of Zixiao Palace." Tongtian shook his head, revealing a little more.
"Hmm???"
Grand Pure Saint did not believe him.
But Sect Master Tongtian nodded heavily and said no more.
There were other Saints??
Grand Pure Saint was shocked!
The Heavenly Dao had decreed six Saints. How could any other Saints exist?
And they were not among the three thousand mortal guests who had once listened to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's teachings in Zixiao Palace?
This information was enormous!
So enormous that immense waves rose in Grand Pure Saint's heart.
There was another method of becoming a Saint?!!
Grand Pure Saint also concealed the heavenly secrets, and the two of them joined forces to hide them.
On the surface, the Primordial Era Mighty Beings saw the two fighting and entangling in battle. In truth, they had already begun whispering to each other.
"Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal? Someone has successfully walked this path? There is already a cultivation method?" Grand Pure Saint hurriedly asked again.
If the path of the Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal could be traversed, who would be willing to become a Heavenly Dao Saint?!
Heavenly Dao Saints appeared lofty and supreme, but they were constrained at every turn, unable to act against the mandate of heaven!
They could only contend for as many benefits as possible beneath the heavenly order.
The higher Grand Pure Saint's cultivation became, the more deeply he understood this.
"It cannot be spoken of, it cannot be spoken of. Sooner or later, Eldest Brother will meet him." Sect Master Tongtian did not answer.
"I call him Grandfather." Tongtian added one more sentence at the end.
???
"Grandfather?!"
Grand Pure Saint cried out in shock!
What was going on?
Was this some kind of joke?!
What kind of person could possibly be a Saint's grandfather?!!
Even Great God Pangu, who opened heaven and earth, could only make the Three Pure Ones address him as Father God!
That was all!
And now, Grandfather?
Father God Pangu's father?
Was that possible?
Grand Pure Saint felt as if his head were about to explode.
The amount of information was too vast, too horrifying!
From this information alone, Grand Pure Saint could foresee that a great calamity would descend upon the Primordial Era.
This calamity would be more terrifying than every previous Primordial Era calamity!
Behind the Primordial Era, there was a vast game of chess!
