Dream Entry Technique, Western Scheme

"Junior Brother, what brilliant plan do you have?"

The sorrowful expression on Jieyin Daoist's face shifted slightly.

"Senior Brother."

An unusual gleam flickered in Zhunti Daoist's eyes. Lowering his voice, he said coldly, "Xuan Liu is a top-grade innate spiritual root, with an incomparably profound foundation."

"If I am not mistaken, he gained tremendously from this Xuanmen Grand Tournament. Perhaps, after some time, he will break through to the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"When that time comes, Senior Brother can use your Dream Entry Technique to secretly split off a thread of divine sense, forcibly convert his true spirit, and turn him into an undercover agent for our Western Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the sorrow in Jieyin Daoist's eyes not only failed to fade, but grew even deeper.

Even the Annihilation Divine Patterns spiraling through the void twisted violently in response.

"Alas! Junior Brother, this plan is far too dangerous."

Jieyin Daoist shook his head and sighed, saying bitterly, "Tongtian is, after all, a Heavenly Dao Saint who commands the Four Swords of Execution."

"Moreover, the Interception Sect now has the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus to suppress its fortune."

"If we are discovered, how could our Western Sect possibly withstand Tongtian's boundless wrath?!"

"Senior Brother! Fortune is found amid danger!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, Zhunti Daoist cut him off decisively. "If our Western Sect keeps hesitating like this and clinging to old ways, then when will we ever repay the Heavenly Dao's forty-eight grand vows and immense merits in full?!"

"You saw Xuan Liu's talent and comprehension with your own eyes. They are enough for us to take this risk!"

Listening to Zhunti's thunderous shout, Jieyin Daoist stroked the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus beneath him and remained silent for a long while.

In the end, a trace of determination surfaced on his sallow, bitter-melon face.

"Very well, we shall follow Junior Brother's plan!"

"When Xuan Liu next enters seclusion to break through, I will certainly exert the Dream Entry Technique with all my strength and convert him to the Western Sect."

Longevity Mountain, Five Villages Temple.

Deep within the temple, an elderly immortal with an otherworldly bearing stood with his hands behind his back beneath the enormous Ginseng Fruit Tree. He wore a dark azure Daoist robe, and three strands of long beard hung beneath his chin.

This man was Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of Earth Immortals and a supreme mighty expert who shared Heaven's lifespan.

When the pressure of the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus spread from the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes, which seemed to contain endless mountains, rivers, and lands, suddenly flew open.

Gazing at the purple radiance rolling endlessly across the eastern sky for trillions of miles, his refined face filled with astonishment and envy. "The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus... actually emerged into the world?"

"And it was obtained by Xuan Liu, a personal disciple of the Interception Sect."

"He even offered it to the Highest Pure Saint without the slightest greed, to suppress their sect's fortune?!"

Standing beside him was a middle-aged Daoist in red robes.

That middle-aged Daoist was naturally Zhen Yuanzi's close friend, Red Cloud Ancestor.

"One should take disciples like Xuan Liu of the Interception Sect!"

Red Cloud Ancestor exclaimed in amazement, sighing deeply. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian truly has fine fortune."

"To have produced such a pillar of the Profound Sect, one whose comprehension surpasses all of the Primordial World and whose respect for his master and Dao reaches the utmost extreme."

"With the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus suppressing their fortune, the Interception Sect's supreme momentum of ten thousand immortals paying court has gained an unshakable foundation!"

At this moment, the scene returned to Kunlun Mountain.

The Xuanmen Grand Tournament had officially come to a complete end.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable did not even care to offer a single perfunctory remark. With a fierce sweep of his sleeve.

An extremely violent surge of Jade Pure mana wrapped around Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, the heavily injured Huang Long True Person, and the other Twelve Golden Immortals of the Expounding Sect before vanishing into the main hall of Jade Void Palace.

Supreme Elder Laozi merely smiled faintly and gave Xuandu the Grand Magus an instruction.

With a great divine ability, he brought Xuandu the Grand Magus away toward Eight Scenic Palace.

"Hahahaha! It is time for us to head home as well!!"

Tongtian Cult Master's face was filled with lofty pride.

His long sleeve trembled as he unleashed a great divine ability.

Supreme Saintly might swept madly through the surrounding void.

In the blink of an eye, Duobao Daoist, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Zhao Gongming, the Three Cloud Fairies, and countless other disciples were swiftly gathered up by Tongtian Cult Master's great divine ability.

The many disciples of the Interception Sect only felt their vision go dark, as though they had fainted.

The next moment.

When everyone looked up, they found themselves before the vast ocean of the East Sea, facing the mist-shrouded, majestic Golden Ao Island!

"Reporting to Master!"

Standing at the very front, Xuan Liu performed a Daoist salute and respectfully said, "During this Xuanmen Grand Tournament, this disciple sparred with several Golden Immortals of the Expounding Sect and fought Senior Brother Xuandu at the same realm, verifying the truths of the Dao."

"In terms of the ever-changing nature of pure spell duels and life-and-death combat, I accumulated considerable experience and benefited greatly."

"Now that the tournament has ended, this disciple intends to immediately return to Penglai Immortal Island and formally enter seclusion to charge toward the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

The moment these words were spoken.

The Interception Sect disciples who had been about to cheer in celebration.

Every single one of them stiffened abruptly, their eyes widening as if struck by lightning.

Silence!

Then, another enormous uproar erupted, voices rising one after another.

"W-what?! How long has it been since Fifth Senior Brother broke through to the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he is already going to challenge the late stage?!"

"Gasp! Isn't Fifth Senior Brother's talent a little too outrageous? This is completely absurd!"

"As expected of Fifth Senior Brother. He is actually about to break through to the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal so soon!"

"Isn't Fifth Senior Brother's talent far too exaggerated? Since when did breakthroughs become this easy?"

"I envy Fifth Senior Brother so much! If only I had talent like his!"

"Keep dreaming! Having even one percent of Fifth Senior Brother's talent would already be an immense blessing!"

"Alas! If I had one percent of Fifth Senior Brother's talent, I would be willing to attain the Dao of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

"Fifth Junior Brother... is he really preparing to enter seclusion again so soon and charge toward the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

Duobao Daoist widened his plump eyes and opened his mouth in disbelief.

He realized that, as the senior brother at the middle stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

His position seemed a little insecure at this moment!

Outrageous!

Far too outrageous!

How could there be such a freak in the Primordial World, someone whose cultivation speed was so terrifying?

He had only broken through to the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal not long ago, yet he was about to break through again.

The middle and late stages of Taiyi Golden Immortal seemed to differ by only a minor realm.

Yet the gap between them was absolutely as vast as the clouds and mud.

Back when he made his own breakthrough, he had been stuck at that bottleneck for countless years.

If his Fifth Junior Brother maintained this pace of breakthroughs.

Then sooner or later, he, the senior brother, would be caught up to.

How could the gap between people be so enormous?
