Tricking Bixiao? Jieyin withstands the tribulation clouds! Yunxiao becomes a Saint?

"BOOM!!!"

As if angered by Jieyin's actions, the tribulation clouds above Yunxiao churned, and thousands of shining silver serpents struck down directly.

"What?!!"

Sensing the danger, Jieyin suddenly looked up, only to realize something was wrong. Why was he blocking the tribulation for Yunxiao?

How could this be?

His goal was to watch the tribulation lightning strike Yunxiao dead; he had never intended to block it!

Besides, wouldn't the Heavenly Dao not allow it?

However, when Jieyin tried to pull away, he discovered that the space around him had been sealed!

"Damn it!!!"

Understanding what was happening, Jieyin became furious. "Tongtian, what do you think you're doing? Let me go at once!"

"Fellow Daoist, no need to get so agitated!"

Sect Leader Tongtian's smile remained unchanged, and he said sincerely, "The tribulation clouds have already targeted you anyway, so running is useless. You might as well just endure it honestly!"

"Exactly!"

Journey to the West Tongtian chimed in from the side, "I believe with Fellow Daoist Jieyin's strength, mere tribulation clouds pose no danger to you. You could destroy them with a flick of your hand."

"You, you guys?!"

Listening to the two Tongtians sing in unison, Jieyin trembled with anger.

These tribulation clouds weren't much to him; even if he endured them head-on, he'd probably just end up a bit blackened.

But the problem was, Hong Jun was behind these tribulation clouds!

Could he really just take them?

He was certain!

If he took the tribulation clouds that the Dao Ancestor was using to test Yunxiao, he'd likely receive a stern reprimand from the Dao Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't this going too far?!"

As one of the Two Saints of the West, Zhunti couldn't stand by and watch Jieyin fall into trouble... even if it seemed like he brought it upon himself this time?

With a helpless sigh, Zhunti stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the two Tongtians. "Fellow Daoists, you should understand the significance of tribulation clouds. If Jieyin endures them, it won't be a good thing for your disciples!"

"So what?"

Sect Leader Tongtian was not intimidated by Zhunti's words; instead, he let out a cold, disdainful laugh. "Zhunti, are you truly foolish, or are you pretending to be foolish with me?"

"The significance of tribulation clouds? What significance does it have?"

"Its only significance is to eliminate some unlucky souls as a warning to us cultivators to cherish this world!"

"But clearly, my disciple cannot and should not become that unlucky soul."

At this point, Sect Leader Tongtian looked up at Jieyin, who was being struck by tribulation clouds and looked disheveled, and at Yunxiao beside him, who was in the final stages of gathering her aura. He said calmly, "Dao Ancestor, since the rules have been set, they must be followed, mustn't they?"

"...Alas~!"

A faint sigh echoed, and the previously dark sky instantly turned clear with white clouds.

Then, a Heavenly Dao merit, even stronger than before, descended along with the sunlight, scattering to every corner of the world.

Even Xuanming received quite a bit.

"What is this??"

Feeling several warm streams of energy within his body, Xuanming looked at Bi Xiao in surprise and whispered, "Sis, Senior Sister, what's going on? Shouldn't the merit go to our eldest sister?"

"Hmph~!"

Bi Xiao snorted and tilted her small head, ignoring Xuanming, acting as if she wanted him to stay away and not ask her anything.

"Heh heh..."

Seeing this, Xuanming chuckled twice and moved closer to Bi Xiao, nudging her gently with his shoulder.

"Good Senior Sister, please tell me? If anything good happens in the future, you'll be the first person I think of!"

"Tch, I don't believe you!"

Bi Xiao pouted dismissively. This guy gave the Primordial Violet Qi to their eldest sister first!

However, thinking of that Primordial Violet Qi, she looked up at her senior sister, who was about to become a saint, and her voice softened considerably.

"This is the world celebrating Senior Sister's sainthood, a universal celebration, so people who usually accumulate virtue and do good deeds will receive merit."

As she spoke, Bi Xiao thought of the palm-sized wisp of merit and fortune that Xuanming had received and couldn't help but tease:

"You brat, how dare you abandon your Master? Look! Even the Heavenly Dao can't stand it!"

"That just means it's blind!"

Xuanming absolutely refused to admit he had abandoned his Master. He explained with a smile, "Little Senior Sister, I'm doing this for your own good, okay?"

"Think about it!"

"If I were still your disciple, wouldn't it be awkward for Eldest Senior Sister to see me after she becomes a Saint?"

"Huh? Why would it be awkward?"

Bi Xiao clearly didn't quite understand. Why would her senior sister feel awkward seeing Xuanming after becoming a Saint?

Shouldn't it be care and affection!

After all, with a Saint as their Master and Senior Uncle, they could practically walk sideways throughout the Primordial World!

"It wouldn't be awkward?"

Xuanming feigned surprise upon hearing this, looking at Bi Xiao. "Little Senior Sister, after Master and Senior Uncle received such valuable gifts from a disciple, can they still treat the disciple the same as before?"

"This…"

Bi Xiao fell silent.

It seemed so, didn't it?

Even if she didn't know if Eldest Senior Sister would be awkward, if she herself received a very valuable gift from a disciple, she would definitely find it hard to discipline them afterwards.

"So you see!"

Seeing that Bi Xiao was being swayed by his words, Xuanming, without changing his expression, continued to deceive her. "It's bound to be awkward to accept gifts from a disciple, but it's different if it's from a junior brother!"

"Think about it?"

"Isn't it only natural for a junior brother to show filial piety to his senior sister? Who told my senior sister to treat me so well all the time!"

"Senior Sister, you agree, right?"

"This… maybe?"

Although Bi Xiao felt something was a bit off, she thought about it. If Xuanming were to show her filial piety, she indeed wouldn't feel awkward.

Who told her that this brat was raised by her?

With that thought, before Xuanming could continue his deception, Bi Xiao gracefully extended her jade-like hand.

"Junior Brother, I understand everything you said, Senior Sister. So, where is your filial piety for Senior Sister?"

"Uh???"

Xuanming's expression froze. Looking at Bi Xiao's face, which held a hint of a sly smile, he suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

Was it his imagination?

Fortunately, Just as Xuanming was at a loss, preparing to rummage through his belongings to see what other treasures he had…

"Buzz~!!!"

Accompanied by a buzzing sound that echoed through the Heavenly Dao, waves of Heavenly Dao merit descended from the heavens. The entire sky seemed to be dyed golden yellow.

Immortal cranes circled, immortal music played, and torrents filled with the essence of the Dao sprinkled across the entire Primordial World.

Then, Yunxiao's clear and firm voice, as if from beyond the nine netherworlds, yet as if right by his ear, rang out.

"I, Yunxiao, have attained sainthood today. I shall preach on Golden Turtle Island for three hundred years. All who are fated may come!"
