"Those who defy the Heavenly Dao shall be executed?"

Sect Leader Tongtian repeated Hong Jun's words, his face showing no worry, but rather an intensified mockery.

"Dao Ancestor, when you lectured on the Dao, didn't you say that we cultivators should defy the heavens?"

"What?"

"Are you planning to kill all cultivators in the Primordial World, and even the three thousand great worlds?"

"..."

This time, it was Hong Jun's turn to be speechless.

Indeed!

The essence of cultivation was to plunder the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were defying the heavens.

But were they talking about the same thing?

"You're twisting words!"

Hong Jun, having recovered his senses, first glanced at Tongtian, then turned to look at Journey to the West Tongtian beside him, and said coldly, "The great prosperity of Buddhism is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. If you insist on defying the heavens, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

"Consequences? Heh heh..."

Staring at Jieyin, who was still lying unconscious in Zhunti's arms, Tongtian thought to himself that if you hadn't shown up, I would have already dealt with him.

Unfortunately, since Hong Jun had appeared, it was no longer appropriate for him to continue.

Moreover, the Six Souls Banner had been taken away by this old fellow...

"Dao Ancestor~!"

Sect Leader Tongtian looked at the Six Souls Banner held in Hong Jun's hand. "Why don't you return my magic treasure first? At worst, I won't make a move against them!"

"No, absolutely not!!"

Before Hong Jun could speak, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was beside him, became anxious. "Dao Ancestor, this Six Souls Banner is truly too harmful to heavenly harmony. You shouldn't have given it to him in the first place!"

"Harmful to heavenly harmony?"

Sect Leader Tongtian raised an eyebrow. "Senior Brother, if I recall correctly, your Pangu Banner's destructive power is also considerable? How about I give it to the Dao Ancestor for safekeeping for a while too?"

"I, this, this is different!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned red. "Your Six Souls Banner can directly target Saints. My Pangu Banner cannot!"

"That just means your cultivation is weak!"

Sect Leader Tongtian curled his lips and retorted unceremoniously, "Magic treasures are just tools. If you don't believe me, give me the Pangu Banner and see if I can hurt you?"

"Okay... No, wait!"

Yuanshi Tianzun, who had instinctively wanted to hand over the Pangu Banner, realized something was wrong when he took it out.

This was completely different!

Let alone the Pangu Banner, even if he picked up a random stone from the roadside, with his strength, he could smash himself with it, right?

"Enough!"

Hong Jun, seeing this, waved his hand impatiently. "It's settled. Come find me to take it back when you've figured things out."

With that, Hong Jun waved the Six Souls Banner at the unconscious Jieyin, returning the true spirit that Tongtian had collected into him.

"Hmm... What happened to me?"

Daoist Jieyin woke up with a groan, rubbing his aching forehead, feeling completely dazed.

"Brother, Brother, you're awake?!"

Seeing this, Zhunti rushed forward, supporting Jieyin while also signaling him to thank Hong Jun.

"Dao Ancestor, why have you come?!"

Jieyin came to his senses, looking at Hong Jun not far away, and the small flag in Hong Jun's hand. The lost memories instantly flooded back.

"Thump!!"

Without any hesitation, Daoist Jieyin knelt down, tears streaming down his face as he wailed to Hong Jun.

"Dao Ancestor, sob sob sob... You must deliver justice for us!"

"He, Tongtian, is simply too arrogant!"

"Sob sob sob..."

"This scoundrel, relying on the power of his magic treasure, not only beat my disciple soundly but also slaughtered my entire Buddhism!"

"Dao Ancestor, you must deliver justice for us!!"

"Hey? Hey??"

As Jieyin's words fell, Hong Jun didn't react much, but Sect Leader Tongtian was the first to object.

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, speak with a clear conscience! How did your Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Arhats die? Don't you have any idea?"

"Ugh..."

Jieyin was momentarily speechless from the retort.

How did the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Buddhism die? Of course, they were slapped to death by that old scoundrel Yuanshi Tianzun!

But could he say that?

Obviously not!

Who asked Tathagata to be the one who led the Buddhist army to attack first?

Besides, It was true that Yuanshi Tianzun had killed his Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Arhats, but he had also killed a host of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals from the Heavenly Court!

He had even casually killed Haotian, the Lord of the Heavenly Court...

However, Before Jieyin could figure out how to explain, Tongtian had already stepped forward to complain to Hong Jun, "Dao Ancestor, you see? This is truly defying the Heavenly Dao!"

"We've already said that the great prosperity of Buddhism is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao!"

"But what did they do?"

"One disregarded the general trend of the Heavenly Dao and slaughtered over a hundred thousand Buddhist Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and monks. The other publicly executed the Lord of the Three Realms you personally appointed."

"You tell me, compared to them, what is this little matter of mine?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hong Jun's lips moved. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Did he not know about these things?

Of course, he knew!

If not, given the clandestine actions Tongtian had been up to in private, how could he have waited until now to show up?

He just didn't know how to handle it, so he pretended to be dead!

After all, one was Buddhism, which was destined for great prosperity according to the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, and the other was the administrator of the Three Realms whom he had personally supported.

He cared about both equally, so what could he do?

Fortunately, Just as Hong Jun was struggling with how to handle the situation without affecting the operation of the Heavenly Dao, a Sanskrit chant echoed throughout the Primordial World.

"I, Yunxiao, hereby re-establish the Jiejiao Sect today, to enlighten all living beings and save countless people deceived by Buddhism from suffering. I hope the Heavenly Dao will bear witness!"

"???"

Hearing the voice in their ears, let alone Hong Jun and Taishang Laojun, even Tongtian and Nuwa were a bit stunned.

Establishing a sect just like that?

Wasn't that a bit too fast?

And didn't they say they were going to establish a new sect? What was with re-establishing the Jiejiao Sect?

"Hahaha, hahahaha..."

Yuanshi Tianzun, the first to recover, couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Tongtian, is this your goal? You actually, actually fantasize about using this to cultivate new Saints?"

"Hahaha..."

"Isn't this a bit too wishful thinking?"

"Not to mention that the number of Saints is predetermined by Heaven. Even if there were still positions available, isn't it a bit late to think about establishing a sect now?"

"Hahahaha... hic!"

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was laughing so hard that tears were streaming from his eyes, suddenly noticed that Hong Jun's expression was a bit off, cutting his mocking words short.

His boisterous laughter immediately ceased!

Staring at Hong Jun's expression, which was half-confused and half-joyful, Yuanshi Tianzun's heart leaped into his throat.

No way?

It couldn't be!

Could it be that one could become a Saint even without Primordial Violet Qi now?!

This was unscientific!

Besides, the Jiejiao Sect already had a Saint. Could re-establishing the Jiejiao Sect create another Saint?

If that were the case...
