Tongtian's Shock, the Two Western Saints

Seeing this scene.

Tongtian Cult Master, who had still been immersed in the shock of Xuan Liu comprehending the Nine-Nine Heavenly Art, felt as though he had been struck by lightning.

His Dharma eyes fixed tightly upon the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus.

As a Heavenly Dao Saint, he understood its significance better than anyone.

This was no ordinary top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

It was a lotus platform evolved from one of the four immature lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Its astonishing defensive power was one thing.

More importantly, it possessed a supreme effect that made countless Primordial World great powers drool with envy.

Suppressing the fortune of a great sect!

Not only Tongtian Cult Master—Supreme Elder Laozi and Primordial Heavenly Venerable, seated at the very top, were both stunned.

Supreme Elder Laozi, who had always been serene and detached, froze slightly even in the hand that had been stroking his snowy white beard.

As for Primordial Heavenly Venerable, seated to the left, his face changed from black to green, then from green to white in an instant. The horror and disbelief in his eyes nearly solidified into substance.

His Expounding Sect had the Pangu Banner, such an innate supreme treasure, to suppress its fortune.

The Human Sect also had the Taiji Diagram, capable of suppressing the fortune of a great sect.

In his view, the Interception Sect possessed no supreme treasure to suppress its fortune.

Even if ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, it would ultimately be nothing more than a castle in the air.

Yet now, Xuan Liu, the Interception Sect's fifth personal disciple—

Had casually produced the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus.

Rumble!

Below, an unprecedented uproar completely erupted among the disciples of the Three Sects.

"The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus?! That top-grade innate spiritual treasure, lost for countless ages, is actually in Fifth Senior Brother's hands?!"

Golden Spirit Holy Mother shuddered violently, her stunningly beautiful face filled with wild joy.

This fifth junior brother of hers had somehow, without anyone noticing.

Taken such a supreme treasure into his possession. It was simply too inconceivable.

"Heaven blesses our Interception Sect! Fifth Senior Brother's comprehension is unmatched among the Three Sects, and even this heaven-defying fortune of his is beyond anyone's reach!"

Zhao Gongming, the Three Cloud Fairies, and the others had flushed faces, their bodies trembling with excitement.

In contrast, Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and the other Twelve Golden Immortals of the Expounding Sect—

Felt an indescribable chill shoot from the soles of their feet straight to the crowns of their heads.

At this moment, all the pride they held in their orthodox lineage seemed to shatter into dust.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good! As expected of Tongtian's fifth personal disciple. You have truly not disappointed your master!"

Upon the high platform, Tongtian Cult Master burst into laughter.

After speaking, he swept his long sleeve fiercely.

A supreme force of saintly might surged forth with a thunderous roar.

It steadily lifted the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus from Xuan Liu's palm.

"Heavenly Dao above, today I, Tongtian, shall use this Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus to suppress the fortune of the Interception Sect. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

Rumble!!

As the Saint's Dao voice fell, boundless phenomena began to emerge ceaselessly across the endless heavens above Kunlun Mountain.

The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus spun round and round. Driven by Saintly mana, it swelled to an incomparably massive size.

Its twelve petals bloomed, releasing flawless white radiance that illuminated all heavens.

The rolling fortune of the Interception Sect, beneath the absolute pressure descending from the white lotus—

Reassembled of its own accord, transforming into an enormous nine-clawed golden dragon of fortune that coiled securely beneath the lotus platform.

Heavenly flowers rained down, golden lotuses surged from the earth, and purple qi stretched unbroken for billions of miles.

The fortune of the Interception Sect's Dao lineage had been suppressed!

This incomparably grand spectacle not only stirred shocked resonance among the Gods and Devils filling the skies.

It also drew the attention of countless Primordial World great powers and ordinary living beings alike.

"Is this... the Interception Sect obtaining a supreme treasure to suppress its fortune?"

"The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus is suppressing its fortune? A treasure like this was actually found by the Supreme Pure Saint's disciples?"

"A top-grade innate spiritual treasure... the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus?"

"If one seeks disciples, one should seek one like Xuan Liu of the Interception Sect!"

Meanwhile, on the Western Continent.

Mount Sumeru.

Two saintly Dharma manifestations, wrapped in endless golden light, sat cross-legged beside the Eight-Treasure Merit Pool.

That was right.

They were the saints of the Western Sect, Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist.

The rise of these two Saints was renowned throughout the entire Primordial World.

After the conflict between Dao and Demon came the period of Purple Heaven Palace's three lectures.

By playing the victim and shamelessly begging, they had obtained two cushions for comprehending the Dao.

Then, during the time when the six Saints took their places—

With insufficient merit, they made great vows and borrowed merit from the Heavenly Dao to become Saints.

When the aura of the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus came from the direction of Kunlun Mountain—

Zhunti Daoist's expression suddenly stiffened.

Even the flower-pinching hand seal he had been forming abruptly stopped in midair.

"The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus? Tongtian actually obtained such a supreme treasure for suppressing fortune?!"

Zhunti Daoist's Saintly Dharma eyes stared fixedly at the boundless purple qi that rolled without end across the eastern horizon.

Envy, jealousy, and helplessness intertwined madly within his heart.

His Western Sect was incomparably barren, possessing scarcely even a few decent Dharma treasures.

Only the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus could barely be considered enough to suppress the Western Sect's fortune.

And now, the Interception Sect, which already had ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage—

Had gained another Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus, a treasure of equal standing.

How could he possibly accept such fortune?!

"Alas!"

Saint Zhunti let out a long sigh and said bitterly, "Senior Brother, just what kind of freak is that Xuan Liu, Tongtian's fifth personal disciple?"

"Not only did he defeat powerful foes one after another at the Xuanmen Grand Tournament, he even attained sudden enlightenment on the spot and comprehended Pangu's method of cultivating the physical body."

"And now, he has directly offered even such a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to the Interception Sect!"

Why did Tongtian's Interception Sect possess such profound fortune?

Not only did it boast the sight of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage, it now also had the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus to suppress its fortune.

As for the other supreme treasures it possessed, there was even less need to mention them.

Not a single Dharma treasure wielded by those personal disciples and outer disciples of the Interception Sect was ordinary.

In contrast, the two Saints of the Western Sect still had to frequently go to the Eastern Continent to scavenge what they could.

"I do not know either, Junior Brother! Why..."

Jieyin Daoist gave a bitter smile and said with astonished envy, "Why was such a peerless pillar disciple—one with monstrous talent, profound foundations, and unwavering loyalty to his Dao lineage—born in the East rather than within the gates of our Western Sect?!

"If our West could gain even one Xuan Liu, why would we fear that our great sect would not flourish? Why would we fear that our fortune would not prosper?!"

Clearly, at this moment, the two Western Saints—

Had both been utterly shocked and hopelessly envious by Xuan Liu's offering of the treasure to suppress the Interception Sect's fortune.

Why could their West not produce a disciple like Xuan Liu?

Heaven knew how they had endured all these years.

Not only did they need to repay a portion of their merit to the Heavenly Dao from time to time.

They also had to go scavenging on the Eastern Continent to maintain the Western Sect's current state.

Otherwise, the Western Sect's circumstances would surely be even more miserable than they were now.

Had the Heavenly Dao abandoned their Western Sect?

Pain!

It hurt too much!

A heart-rending, soul-tearing pain!

"Senior Brother, I have a plan!"

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Zhunti Daoist's mind.
