Kongtong Seal Emerges

They had staked their entire fortunes and lives on this.

After all, if they failed to become Saints, the Demon Clan or some other force would probably tear them to pieces anyway.

The two steeled themselves. They might as well gamble on it until the end of time.

At worst, they would fill the gap with their lives. If they succeeded, every extra moment they lived as Saints would be profit.

So they had won their gamble. The Heavenly Dao accepted it.

And made them spend their lives repaying the debt.

Jie Yin and Zhunti had also become Saints. Five Saints had emerged in a single day.

The primordial world entered the age of Saints.

A thousand years later, in the East Sea, a ray of treasure light shot into the sky.

Kunlun Mountain.

Laozi smiled and said, "A spiritual treasure of my Humanity Sect, a supreme treasure of the human race, has emerged."

Tongtian said, "Big Brother, why are you still sitting there? Hurry up. If we're too slow, something might happen."

Yuanshi nodded. This time, he agreed with Tongtian and added, "Third Brother is right. We should set out sooner."

Yet Laozi remained calm and said, "No rush, no rush. The destined person has likely already arrived."

Tongtian blurted out, "Big Brother, have you gone muddleheaded? It is clearly an item of the Humanity Sect. What destined person could there be?"

Yuanshi was initially stunned, then seemed to realize something. He silently nodded and said, "Big Brother, then shall we watch the show?"

"No. How can an item of the Humanity Sect fall into the hands of an outsider? We should lend that destined person a hand."

After hearing this, Tongtian understood. Damn it, after all that, the destined person was Qing Xuanzi.

He echoed Laozi, "Mm, that kid is not bad. We can help him out, lest those two fellows from the Western Sect stir up trouble."

On Mount Sumeru.

The moment Zhunti saw the treasure light over the East Sea, he called out to Jie Yin, "Senior Brother, hurry! A treasure has appeared."

Then he flashed into the sky above the East Sea.

He stared at the treasure light like a wolf, waiting only for the treasure to emerge before immediately seizing it.

Jie Yin stood behind Zhunti, his divine sense constantly sweeping the surrounding hundreds of millions of miles, guarding against anyone suddenly making a move to snatch the treasure.

The two martial brothers coordinated flawlessly. Without even needing to speak, they directly assumed their positions.

A moment later, Qing Xuanzi appeared.

"You still dare to come?" Jie Yin glared at Qing Xuanzi, his eyes red.

Qing Xuanzi replied in a strange tone, "Senior Brother Jie Yin, why can't I come?"

"You..." Just as Jie Yin was about to curse him out or even attack, he suddenly sensed someone's gaze upon him.

His neck shrank, and Jie Yin thought, That was close. I nearly said it outright.

That gaze was so familiar. There was no need to guess—it had to be that old bastard Hongjun.

Damn it, that elder had no dignity at all. He had actually conspired with Qing Xuanzi to swindle him out of his Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus.

Zhunti also felt Hongjun's attention. The anger he had been about to vent immediately deflated.

Zhunti's eyes spun, and an idea surfaced. He said to Qing Xuanzi:

"Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, since you have already obtained a treasured artifact of my Western Sect, how about yielding this treasure to the Western Sect?"

Qing Xuanzi thought, Hmph, those two finally realized something after seeing that the Three Pure Ones hadn't shown up in time.

But trying to trick me? No chance.

"No." Qing Xuanzi answered flatly.

At this time, members of the Demon Clan and the other great powers of the primordial world arrived, forming a circle.

All of them watched the treasure light in midair with covetous eyes.

The late-arriving Nüwa saw Qing Xuanzi. She gave him a meaningful look, then revealed a faintly strange smile. "Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi?"

Qing Xuanzi's scalp began to tingle. How was he supposed to address Nüwa?

Should he call her Holy Mother? He did not know what Hongjun and Laozi thought of that.

After all, his current identity was exceedingly complicated. He was human, Hongjun's Closed-Door Disciple, and the Deputy Sect Leader of the Humanity Sect.

Nüwa had asked with a questioning tone. If Qing Xuanzi casually called her Senior Sister—

If word spread through the mouths of those with ulterior motives, it could stir up quite a commotion among the human race.

But if he called her Holy Mother, it seemed as though he would embarrass Hongjun and Laozi. He did not know whether the two cared.

Seeing Qing Xuanzi standing there like an idiot, Nüwa burst into laughter.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Call me Senior Sister and let me hear it."

Phew. Qing Xuanzi let out a breath of stale air. Thank goodness, Nüwa had let him off.

"Um, um, Senior Sister Nüwa." Qing Xuanzi hesitated for a long time before finally calling her Senior Sister Nüwa.

Nüwa looked at Qing Xuanzi's awkward appearance and giggled.

The treasure light in the sky suddenly receded, revealing its true form: a seal-shaped spiritual treasure.

The moment Zhunti saw the spiritual treasure emerge, he swept his Seven Treasure Tree toward it.

Jie Yin manifested his Zhangba Golden Body and stood behind Zhunti.

The Kongtong Seal had no chance to flee at all. It was about to be swept away by the Seven Treasure Tree.

A Flat Crutch appeared out of nowhere and blocked the Seven Treasure Tree.

A Jade Ruyi flew straight at Jie Yin.

Meanwhile, the Qingping Sword watched menacingly from the side, waiting for anyone to make a move.

When the other great powers saw those three treasures appear, they all wailed. The treasure was no longer theirs to claim.

With six Saints present, who could possibly take it?

However, they were wrong. Spectacularly wrong.

The Kongtong Seal gained a moment to catch its breath. With a flash, it appeared above Qing Xuanzi's head.

Before everyone's incredulous eyes, it sank between Qing Xuanzi's brows.

This outcome was unimaginable to the great powers below the Saint level.

But Zhunti had already anticipated it the moment the treasure appeared and he was obstructed.

Jie Yin sighed and vanished from where he stood without saying a word.

Zhunti saw that the matter could not be changed and left as well.

After the treasures of the Three Pure Ones flew away, Nüwa said with a smile, "Little Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, come visit me when you have time. Am I really that frightening? I invited you to Wa Huang Palace before, yet you refused."

Qing Xuanzi lowered his head awkwardly, somewhat afraid to look at Nüwa. He had selfish motives when he refused her before.

Nüwa had probably realized it by now.

Seeing Qing Xuanzi remain silent, she glared at him with her beautiful eyes. "If you do not come within a thousand years, I will move into your Human Race Dao Palace."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Phew. Qing Xuanzi exhaled. For some reason, he always felt immense pressure whenever he faced Nüwa.

Seeing that the treasure had found an owner, the gathered great powers exchanged bored greetings and dispersed.

Only one person remained behind.

Just as Qing Xuanzi was about to leave, that person blocked him and said, "Leave the treasure behind. A human like you is not qualified to possess such a treasure."

Qing Xuanzi widened his eyes. Who was this? He did not recognize him.

He replied indifferently, "Who are you? Has the primordial world become a place where any stray cat or dog can block the road and rob people?"

"How dare you! Remember this well: I am Dong Wanggong, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the leader of the male immortals."

Qing Xuanzi inwardly cursed his bad luck. Damn it, how had he run into the biggest fool in the primordial world?

Leader of the male immortals, my ass. Didn't that brain of yours consider that Hongjun had merely said it casually?

The purpose was to send you to your death.

The most obvious point was this: did Hongjun himself count as a male immortal?

Damn it, what a pig-headed fool. How unlucky.
