Zhunti Is Being Ganged Up On

As Zhunti extinguished the fire and saved Dizang, a trace of blood seeped from Bo Huang's lips. Seeing this, Tai Yi quickly said, "Big Brother, look quickly, Bo Huang is injured. It's hard to say Zhunti didn't make a sneak attack."

Di Jun swept over Bo Huang's body with his divine sense and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, it's one thing to save your disciple during a spar, but why did you sneak attack and injure my son's Primordial Spirit?"

Tai Yi, being hot-tempered, directly retorted, "Big Brother, Zhunti has already injured Huang'er's Primordial Spirit, why are you still calling him 'Fellow Daoist'? Let's take him down together, this old thief." As he spoke, he took out the Chaos Bell and smashed it over with a clang.

Seeing Tai Yi make a move, Di Jun quickly followed, picking up the River Diagram and Luo Book, and unleashing the Heavenly Emperor Sword to join the fray.

Although Zhunti was a Saint ordained by heaven and at the Quasi-Saint Peak, the Di Jun and Tai Yi brothers were not to be trifled with. Now that the Heavenly Court had been established for a long time, and with the blessings of the Heavenly Emperor's destiny, the brothers' cultivation was a step higher than Zhunti's.

Thus, Zhunti wielded the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, its seven-colored divine light shining brightly, yet he was still suppressed by Tai Yi holding the Chaos Bell.

Seeing Tai Yi suppress the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, Di Jun, holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword, charged forward and slashed. With a single strike, he shattered Zhunti's protective divine light.

Zhunti, unable to resist, shouted, "Senior Brother, help me."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin took out the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus to protect himself and Zhunti, saying, "My junior brother was a bit impulsive just now, but a damaged Primordial Spirit may not be a severe injury. We are willing to compensate, can we settle this?"

Lao Zi stepped forward and said, "The Three Pure Ones are one body. Bo Huang has always been filial to this seat. As for the injury to his Primordial Spirit, this seat has elixirs to help heal it. Di Jun, if you do not stand up for your son today, we, the Three Pure Ones, will act." With that, he beckoned to Yuanshi and Tong Tian.

Yuanshi and Tong Tian already thought highly of Bo Huang and owed him a debt of gratitude for guiding them toward becoming Saints. How could they stand by? One took out the Pangu Banner, the other took out the Qingping Sword, and both looked unhappily at Jieyin and Zhunti.

Di Jun heard Lao Zi say that if he and his brother didn't act, they would step in to help Bo Huang. How could he let Jieyin and Zhunti off? He directly said, "Bo Huang is my own son, how can I not avenge him? Second Brother, does our Heavenly Court lack anything compared to Mount Sumeru?"

Tai Yi laughed heartily, "What a joke... what good things could Mount Sumeru possibly have? Unless they can hand over the Primordial Violet Qi?" As he spoke, he took out the Chaos Bell, preparing to forcefully break the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus platform.

At this moment, Bo Huang slowly woke up and said, "Senior Zhunti, your attack was quite vicious... Father, Second Uncle, Master, Martial Uncle, do not let them off today."

Zhunti's face darkened and he asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

Bo Huang replied, "Yes, why not? If you don't defend and let me hit you once, this karma will be resolved, how about it?"

Zhunti said, "Fine, I don't believe how strong a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal like you can be." With that, he stood in place, ready to take Bo Huang's blow head-on.

Bo Huang began to gather his strength, merging the Chaos Spirit Fire with the Golden Crow Divine Flame. This was a great divine ability from the Chaos Golden Crow's inherited cultivation technique, the Golden Crow Burning Heaven Flame. A spark of fire flickered at Bo Huang's fingertips, and even Di Jun and Tai Yi could feel its intense heat.

Tai Yi remarked, "Big Brother, this wisp of flame in my nephew's hand is no ordinary thing."

Di Jun nodded and said, "Let's watch and see." Then, Bo Huang struck Zhunti's chest with a single move, and a raging fire engulfed Zhunti.

After a long while, Zhunti extinguished the flames with his seven-colored divine light and asked, "Can this karma be considered resolved now?"

However, Bo Huang did not reply. Upon closer inspection, Bo Huang was sitting cross-legged, breaking through. Above his head, his Three Flowers bloomed, reaching the seventh grade. (In reality, nine flowers bloomed, but the System hid it to prevent the protagonist from being targeted.)

Before long, Bo Huang successfully broke through and said, "A while ago, I dreamt I heard that hitting a creature like Senior Zhunti, who transformed from a Bodhi Tree, could lead to enlightenment and breakthrough. It seems it's true."

Unbeknownst to him, the aura of the Three Pure Ones and Two Emperors battling the Two Saints of Mount Sumeru had attracted many powerful beings to watch with their divine senses, causing Zhunti to become a target of attention.

Lao Zi, seeing Bo Huang break through after striking Zhunti, thought to himself, That kid specifically warned me to be careful of Zhunti. Is he trying to tell me that if I hit Zhunti first and then undergo Mortal Transformation, I can become a Saint? As for why he didn't say it directly, is it to avoid karmic entanglement with Zhunti? Hmm, that's very possible.

With this thought, Lao Zi said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, how about we spar?"

Zhunti looked at Lao Zi's expression and thought, Even if I refuse today, you'll still make a move. Do I have any chance to refuse? With this thought, Zhunti reluctantly agreed.
