Tongtian Cult Leader sat upright upon the Cloud Platform. Sensing the changes in the Interception Sect's Fortune, even his impassive face couldn't help showing astonishment.

Among the Primordial World's four sects, the Western Sect had the Twelfth-Rank Meritorious Golden Lotus to suppress its Fortune; the Human Sect used the Taiji Diagram, while the Expounding Sect used the Pangu Banner, both perfectly suppressing their Fortune.

Only the Interception Sect had a flaw in its founding. Whether it was the Four Swords of Execution or the Green Duckweed Sword, both possessed more than enough killing power, yet neither could perfectly suppress the Interception Sect's Fortune. Thus, its Fortune constantly leaked away. A Saint's great sect possessed astonishing Fortune, so naturally there would be no problem in the short term. But after millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years had passed, no matter how astonishing that Fortune was, it would likely drain away completely. By then, it would probably be the day the Interception Sect perished!

A Saint looked far ahead. Tongtian Cult Leader had already sought a solution, traveling throughout the Primordial World in an attempt to find a treasure capable of perfectly suppressing the Interception Sect's Fortune, but he had gained nothing.

Yet now, the rate at which the Interception Sect's Fortune was leaking had drastically slowed. It even gave him the illusion that it had stabilized!

"How strange!"

Tongtian Cult Leader instinctively began deducing, but the surprise on his face soon grew ever deeper.

Heavenly secrets were obscure. No matter how he deduced, he couldn't derive the slightest scrap of information.

"The discourse between the Expounding and Interception Sects is about to begin. I might as well summon the Interception Sect disciples back and give a lecture within Azure Tour Palace. The truth will reveal itself!"

Tongtian Cult Leader was, after all, a Heavenly Dao Sage. The Interception Sect's Fortune wouldn't stabilize for no reason; this matter ought to be connected to the Interception Sect's disciples. However, the Interception Sect proclaimed that it taught without discrimination, and its disciples numbered far more than ten thousand. Even he found it difficult to determine the cause at once. As it happened, the discourse between the Expounding and Interception Sects was about to begin, and he had found this Golden Turtle Island dojo. Taking this opportunity, he summoned all the Interception Sect disciples here. First, he would lecture and raise their strength, lest they lose face during the discourse. Second, he naturally wished to see what exactly had caused such a change in the Interception Sect's Fortune!

"I am Tongtian Cult Leader. A hundred years from now, I shall lecture upon Golden Turtle Island. All those in the Primordial World fated to hear may come and listen!"

Tongtian Cult Leader announced this to the Primordial World. In an instant, countless living beings throughout the Primordial World felt it in their hearts, and the once-peaceful Primordial World immediately boiled over.

"A Saint is giving a lecture? What a tremendous opportunity!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Golden Turtle Island is a full three hundred and sixty trillion li away from us. If we're any slower, we won't make it in time!"

"Go, go, go!"

Since Pangu had split open heaven and earth, Saint lectures could be counted on one hand. Moreover, when Hongjun had lectured in the past, he had done so from the Primordial Starry Sky. Though he said all those fated could come listen, the threshold had actually been terrifyingly high. One had to be a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to withstand the currents of Primordial Chaos and travel to Purple Cloud Palace. In contrast, Tongtian Saint taught without discrimination. So long as one could reach Golden Turtle Island, one could hear a Saint's lecture. What an enormous opportunity was that?

For a time, not only cultivators and living beings from the Eastern Sea of the Primordial World, but even those from farther regions rushed toward Golden Turtle Island. Myriad immortals came to pay homage, an awe-inspiring spectacle!

"Divine ability, Brahma? Great Purification Art?"

Zhao Gongming awoke from his comprehension. By now, he had initially refined the Twelfth-Rank Purifying World White Lotus. It bloomed with boundless, dazzling purifying light, as though it could thoroughly cleanse all filth and negative things. Once activated, its defensive power was even more astonishing. Within the Primordial World, there were likely only a scant few Supreme Treasures with defenses stronger than the Purifying World White Lotus!

Beyond that, his gains from this round of comprehension were equally substantial.

Brahma was a divine ability targeting the Primordial Spirit. Once manifested, it released dazzling white light. It appeared gentle, yet contained terrifying killing intent. If one's Primordial Spirit was weak, it would be set ablaze in an instant. It was truly impossible to guard against. Even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals would likely feel a piercing pain in their Primordial Spirits and freeze for a moment. Yet that moment must not be underestimated. Battle changed in the blink of an eye; even being affected for an instant could determine the outcome of the entire fight.

The Great Purification Art, as its name implied, could cleanse all negative, turbid, and Sha Qi. It could even directly purify the Calamity Sha Qi of a Tribulation.

That was truly astonishing!

After all, Calamity Sha Qi was something that made even Quasi-Sage experts change color. Great Supernatural Beings seeking fortune and avoiding calamity was practically instinctive, yet they still couldn't escape Tribulations. Eastern King Lord and Red Cloud, both Quasi-Sage experts, had successively met ends of self-destruction and death. His previous self had been the same. During the Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm, he should have quietly recited the Yellow Court Scripture, yet he had still descended the mountain and met a tragic death. That was because Calamity Sha Qi had blinded his eyes and eroded his Primordial Spirit, making him unable to distinguish fortune from misfortune. In the end, karma entangled him, and he perished within the Tribulation.

With the Great Purification Art protecting him, not only could he ignore all sinister and negative things, he could also remain clear-headed within a Tribulation, pursuing fortune and avoiding disaster.

It appeared to possess no killing power, yet the effect it could unleash was far more astonishing than even great killing divine abilities.

"First, I'll explore all of Yingzhou Immortal Island!!"

Zhao Gongming slowly rose to his feet and immediately traveled throughout Yingzhou Immortal Island, relocating its many spiritual roots and spiritual materials into the Second Heavens World.

The harvest along the way was simply astonishing. There were hundreds of Innate Spiritual Roots alone, while Acquired Spiritual Roots were too numerous to count. The Myriad Heavens World rumbled continuously, and the origin within it visibly surged by a great margin compared to before.

"What is this?"

Before long, Zhao Gongming came to a halt. Before him stood an enormous boundary stele, upon which four Great Dao sigils were inscribed.

With just one glance,

Zhao Gongming understood that they represented the meaning of Yingzhou Grotto-Heaven.

Clearly, this was the Yingzhou Immortal Island Boundary Stele. So long as he refined it, he could completely control Yingzhou Immortal Island and become the master of a top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise!

For a moment, Zhao Gongming's heart stirred.

Even Heavenly Dao Sages couldn't simply find a top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise dojo whenever they wished.

Moreover, so long as he secluded himself within it and never emerged, no matter how the Tribulation unfolded, it would be nearly impossible for it to harm him in the slightest.

But he soon shook his head. As the Primordial World's Tribulations unfolded, only Saints could remain beyond their reach. Below Saints, even Quasi-Sage experts had to enter the Tribulation in person to seek that sliver of life. Besides, even if he truly hid until the time of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, when Heavenly Dao Sages fought in earnest and shattered the eternal Primordial World completely, when the nest was overturned, how could any egg remain whole? This top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise would likely shatter along with it.

"First, I'll refine this Yingzhou Immortal Island Boundary Stele!"

Casting aside the distractions in his mind, Zhao Gongming immediately immersed his consciousness and began directly refining the Yingzhou Immortal Island Boundary Stele. Before long, countless insights surged into his mind.

[You have refined the Yingzhou Immortal Island Boundary Stele. Your World Law has improved. Current World Law: 55%]
[You continue refining the Yingzhou Immortal Island Boundary Stele. You comprehend that the Three Immortal Isles share the same root and origin. In a flash of inspiration, you deduce the coordinates of Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Isle.]
[You have completely refined the coordinates of Penglai Immortal Island. You are now the master of the top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise, Yingzhou Immortal Island.]

"Coordinates of Fangzhang Immortal Isle? This!!"

Zhao Gongming abruptly opened his eyes. Feeling the coordinates within his mind, the expression on his face suddenly changed, bursting into wild ecstasy!
