Chang Er Ding Guang Xian froze in place.
He watched with his own eyes as that Azure Figure stepped out of the void and landed silently before him.
A vast, majestic aura emanated from him.
Xuandu.
Just a few days ago, he was an ant whom Chang Er Ding Guang Xian could scorn at will, not even bothering to teach him basic cultivation methods.
A mere Human Race Kid who was lucky enough to be noticed by a Sage, yet didn't know his place and delusionally thought he could ascend to heaven in a single step.
But now...
Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak!
Chaos God Demon Pedigree!
Personal Disciple!
Why?
Why would this heaven-blessed opportunity, this fortune that could move even a Sage, fall upon a Human with such a shallow pedigree?
He, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, had cultivated for countless years, diligently and conscientiously. It was only after much effort that he managed to join the Jie Sect and become one of the Seven Attendant Immortals. In the Jie Sect, where Myriad Immortals Come to Court, he was considered a notable figure.
But compared to Xuandu, who had ascended in a single step before him, his countless years of arduous cultivation felt like a joke!
A Personal Disciple!
His status was revered, second only to a Sage, and he stood on equal footing with Duobao Senior Brother and others!
The resources he enjoyed and the authority he possessed were far beyond what he, an attendant, could compare to.
What merit did this Xuandu possess? Just because of that opportunity?
He recalled his previous attitude towards Xuandu.
Cold sweat instantly soaked the back of his daoist robe.
Xuandu simply looked at him quietly, without speaking.
He didn't release any pressure, nor did he question him sternly.
But the more silent he was, the more suffocating Chang Er Ding Guang Xian felt.
The surrounding air seemed to become heavy, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.
He wanted to force out a fawning smile, wanted to say some flattering and ingratiating words.
But that smile was uglier than crying.
"Xuan... Xuandu... Senior Brother..."
He finally squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, his voice trembling slightly.
He had no choice but to call him Senior Brother.
Xuandu was now at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak, and more importantly, a Personal Disciple personally appointed by their Master, placing him far above him in status.
Xuandu still didn't speak, his gaze calm as he watched.
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian's heart sank completely.
"Before... before, it was this Junior Brother who was blind... and offended Senior Brother..."
He forced himself to speak, trying to salvage the situation, his voice growing lower and lower, filled with obvious fear.
"I only hope... I only hope Senior Brother Xuandu won't hold this against Junior Brother..."
He bowed, lowering himself to an extreme degree, almost burying his head in his chest.
Where was the arrogance he had shown before when he was pontificating and looking down on Xuandu?
Xuandu watched his pathetic display of fawning after being arrogant, a cold sneer forming in his heart.
A traitor is a traitor.
Deep down, he was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Now he knew fear?
It was too late.
He still didn't speak, merely raising his hand slightly.
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian flinched in fear, almost falling to his knees.
But he saw Xuandu casually adjust the cuff of his sleeve, which had become slightly disheveled from the recent spatial teleportation.
A small gesture, yet it made Chang Er Ding Guang Xian break out in a cold sweat.
"Junior Brother Chang Er."
Xuandu finally spoke.
His voice was flat, betraying no emotion, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! What are Senior Brother's commands?"
Chang'er Dingguangxian quickly answered, bending his waist even lower.
"When I first joined the Jie Sect, my junior brother's care is something Xuandu remembers deeply."
Chang'er Dingguangxian's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
It's over!
He really holds a grudge!
"Senior brother, please forgive me! Senior brother, please forgive me!"
He could no longer care about his dignity, bowing repeatedly, his voice choked with sobs.
"It was this junior brother whose heart was blinded by greed, and I slighted senior brother!"
Xuandu's gaze swept indifferently over Chang'er Dingguangxian's pale face.
If not for the sect rules, this traitor would have already turned to ashes, his soul annihilated.
However, while his death sentence could be spared, he could not escape punishment.
Can't find the book by title, maybe try searching for the author, perhaps the title was just changed!
Some lessons must be etched into his bones.
"Hmph!"
Xuandu let out an extremely faint cold snort.
To Chang'er Dingguangxian, it sounded like a thunderclap from the nine heavens!
BOOM!!!
A majestic and terrifying pressure descended like a torrent!
"Ugh!"
Chang'er Dingguangxian couldn't even muster a thought of resistance before instantly collapsing to his knees.
THUMP!
He spat out a mouthful of blood containing his vital essence.
The immortal light around him instantly dimmed, and his aura visibly withered.
The gap between late-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak was as vast as heaven and earth!
Just a wisp of pressure, not even a deliberate killing intent, had already left him severely injured, his Dao foundation showing faint cracks!
Xuandu didn't spare another glance at Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, who lay collapsed on the ground.
If not for the sect's rules, this fickle rabbit would have long since perished.
A slight punishment now, to make him understand hierarchy, was enough.
After all, with Sect Leader Tongtian present, he couldn't just kill Chang Er without reason.
He let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian struggled to lift his head, blood seeping from his lips, his face filled with terror and pleading.
"Junior Brother knows his mistake... he truly knows..."
Xuandu's steps didn't falter, as if he heard nothing.
His figure transformed into a clear, ethereal immortal light, vanishing from his spot in an instant and streaking towards Biyou Palace.
Only Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was left, collapsed on the cold ground, his face ashen.
Pain wracked his body, his Dao foundation damaged.
His heart was filled with endless regret and fear.
He knew he had thoroughly offended this newly promoted Personal Disciple senior brother.
His future days in the Jie Sect would likely be difficult.
Xuandu traversed the core area of Golden Ao Island.
He saw peaks vying for beauty, spiritual energy like dragons.
Amidst cascading waterfalls and flowing springs, jade palaces and qiong towers were faintly visible.
Immortal cranes gathered in flocks, spirit beasts roamed freely, a scene of true immortal splendor.
It was countless times better than his desolate, remote dwelling.
He spread out his Spiritual Sense, sensing carefully.
Outside Biyou Palace, there were still several spiritual mountains and blessed lands suitable for Personal Disciples to establish their cave dwellings.
All were rich in spiritual energy and naturally imbued with Dao charm.
As he was contemplating and comparing, intending to choose the place that best suited his own Dao charm.
Suddenly.
"Dong!"
A melodious and deep drumbeat resounded from the depths of Biyou Palace.
At first faint, it instantly spread throughout Golden Ao Island, echoing clearly in the hearts and minds of every Jie Sect disciple!
As the drumbeat passed, spiritual energy stagnated, and all sounds fell silent.
It was as if the entire world held its breath at this moment.
It was unmistakably the sound of the Fishing Drum, summoning the disciples of the Jie Sect.
Immediately after, a voice, peaceful yet containing supreme majesty, echoed across Golden Ao Island:
"In three days, I will lecture on the Supreme Clarity Great Dao before Biyou Palace."
"Disciples with affinity may all come to listen."
The voice was indifferent, devoid of any worldly passion.
Yet, it seemed to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the root of all laws.
As the words were spoken, auspicious clouds immediately gathered above Golden Ao Island, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.
Endless Dao rhythm descended like a tangible substance, enveloping the entire island.
"It's Master!"
"A Sage is lecturing!"
"An opportunity! A heaven-sent opportunity!"
After a brief silence, the entire Golden Ao Island erupted in excitement!
Countless streams of immortal light shot up from various caves, forests, and waters.
Powerful and weak auras alike, filled with uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy, converged towards Biyou Palace!
A Sage lecturing was an event rarely seen in a million years!
Every lecture was a grand occasion for the Jie Sect!
Countless disciples had achieved sudden enlightenment, broken through bottlenecks, and greatly advanced their cultivation by listening to the Sage's Great Dao!
This was an unparalleled fortune!
Xuandu heard the sound and, after a moment of stunned surprise, was immediately overjoyed!
