In the world of Journey to the West,

Golden Turtle Island,

The island, which had been steadily declining ever since the Interception Sect fell into ruin, had blossomed anew with the arrival of Yunxiao and several of the Saints.

Visitors came one after another.

With a wave of Nuwa's hand, the island was covered with a protective formation, guardian spirit beasts, and all kinds of rare flowers and plants.

"Master, Junior Brother..."

After seeing off the visitors, Yunxiao came to the palace where Sect Leader Tongtian was staying and respectfully bowed to him and Xuanming, who was slacking off nearby.

"Senior Sister~!"

At the sight of her, Xuanming quickly stood and returned the bow.

Although he could be considered a great contributor to her becoming a Saint, acting arrogant over his achievements was never acceptable.

Sure enough,

Seeing that Xuanming was still acting just as he had before, Yunxiao felt a little relieved. She had been afraid the kid might take the opportunity to ask her for something.

After all, Sect Leader Tongtian wasn't the only one who could see through his wolfish ambitions.

"Enough, sit down, both of you!"

Seeing the two of them acting like a respectful elder sister and deferential younger brother, Sect Leader Tongtian—who had long since seen through Xuanming's little schemes—couldn't help interrupting with amusement.

"Save whatever you have to say until after we destroy Buddhism. For now, we need to snuff out its last breath."

"Excellent!"

Yunxiao smiled and nodded in agreement. After all, they had made this plan before she became a Saint, so of course it would be the first thing they dealt with afterward.

Xuanming, however, seemed hesitant.

"Master, last time, nothing much had even happened before Dao Ancestor appeared. If we go after Jieyin and Zhunti, surely he won't just stand by and do nothing?"

"Then don't go after them!"

Sect Leader Tongtian looked at Xuanming with some puzzlement. "Does your mission require you to kill those two old geezers? That would be a bit difficult! Though it's not impossible..."

"?!"

Xuanming was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly waved his hands. "Master, it never said we had to kill them. It only said we had to destroy Buddhism."

"Then that settles it!"

Sect Leader Tongtian breathed a sigh of relief. "Destroying Buddhism is easy. We just need to have a 'good talk' with those two old geezers. I'm sure they'll agree to disband it."

"Uh..."

Xuanming suddenly slapped his forehead as realization dawned. "Master, you mean have them disband it themselves?"

"What else?"

Sect Leader Tongtian spread his hands. "They're the foundation of Buddhism. As long as they're alive, Buddhism won't fall."

"So..."

"If we want to destroy Buddhism completely, then aside from killing them, our only other option is to make them give it up themselves."

"As for killing them..."

Sect Leader Tongtian paused, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "If my Martial Uncle and I activate the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation together, we should be able to hold Dao Ancestor off for a while. I'm just worried that your Martial Aunt Nuwa and Yunxiao might not be a match for those two old geezers."

"They may be weak, but they're veteran Saints, and they have plenty of life-saving methods..."

"No need, really!"

Seeing Sect Leader Tongtian start considering how they might kill Zhunti and Jieyin, Xuanming was startled. He hurriedly waved his hands and said with a wry smile,

"Master, let's just behave ourselves, all right? We don't want to fail to kill them and end up punished by Hong Jun instead!"

"...Sigh!"

At the mention of him, Sect Leader Tongtian's expression dimmed, and a trace of resentment crept into his voice.

"Wasn't he just formed a thousand years or so before us? If we'd been formed first, he'd never have been the one to unite with the Heavenly Dao!"

"Hmm?"

At those words, Xuanming seemed to think of something. He thoughtfully rubbed his chin. "Master, if you had the chance to unite with the Heavenly Dao, would you do it?"

"No!"

Sect Leader Tongtian's answer was so crisp and decisive that Xuanming nearly threw out his back.

"Not interested? Then why say that?"

Xuanming glared at his shameless master. Wasn't he just messing with him for no reason? Xuanming had actually been trying to figure out a solution!

"Heh, so what if I say it? I'm not allowed to talk?"

Sect Leader Tongtian didn't think he'd done anything wrong. He curled his lip disdainfully. "Why do you think I cultivate? Isn't it to be free and unconstrained?"

"Besides..."

"After uniting with the Heavenly Dao, I'd have to spend every day with it. And, as you said, I might even end up swallowed by it... I'd have to be an idiot to do that!"

"Fine, fine. You're not an idiot. I'm the idiot, all right?"

Xuanming shook his head with a wry smile. What could he say, stuck with a master like this? All he could do was sigh silently in frustration.

Fortunately, although his master was somewhat unreliable, his newly acknowledged Senior Sister was dependable.

"Xuanming, do you mean you have a way to find someone else to unite with the Dao?"

"That's right!"

Xuanming thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile, not bothering to hide it. "After Buddhism is destroyed, there'll be a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fruit Position. I suspect it was created to replace Hong Jun."

"Hunyuan, a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fruit Position?!"

Yunxiao wasn't the only one who looked utterly bewildered. Even Sect Leader Tongtian, who had still been feeling indignant, couldn't help widening his eyes.

What was a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

Simply put: a Saint!

A Great Unity Golden Immortal was already the highest title among immortals. Beyond that, one could transcend the Primordial World and walk through chaos as a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

But what puzzled him was the phrase "Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fruit Position."

"Well..."

Xuanming rubbed his nose and explained, a little guiltily, "According to the description, whoever inherits this Fruit Position will become a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal in an instant!"

"Gasp?!"

As soon as Xuanming finished speaking, Sect Leader Tongtian and Yunxiao both drew in a sharp breath. Yunxiao couldn't help asking in astonishment,

"Junior Brother, do you mean even an ordinary person who's never cultivated could do it?"

"That's right!"

Xuanming nodded firmly. That was what the attribute description said, so it probably wasn't far off.

"This, this..."

Yunxiao's breathing grew heavy. She clearly couldn't accept this explanation, especially after she had endured countless hardships to become a Saint with Xuanming's help.

You could become a Saint just by inheriting a Dao Fruit?

Then what had all her years of hard work been for?

Did it mean she was diligent?

After all,

While her junior brothers and sisters played outside, and her senior brothers and sisters paired off in passionate embraces, she had stayed on Sanxiao Island, cultivating day after day without fear of tedium.

Otherwise, how could she have gotten so far ahead of her two younger sisters?

But now?

There was actually something that let people advance painlessly to become Heavenly Dao Saints without cultivating—or even needing talent?

This, this damn...

It was unfair!!

Suppressing the urge to swear, Yunxiao looked at Xuanming across from her and asked with a final glimmer of hope,

"Junior Brother, if this thing is so incredible, it must be very difficult to obtain, right?"

"Not really!"

Xuanming looked at his Senior Sister in puzzlement. "Senior Sister, didn't I just say? Buddhism just has to be completely destroyed."

At that, Xuanming rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Senior Sister, come to think of it, I'll need to trouble you to help with this!"

Yunxiao: "..."

If you think this book is good, add it to your bookshelf so you can find it again next time.
