Intercepting Heaven and Taking the Way, Tongtian Establishes a Sect and Gains the Jie Sect's Fortune

Under Tongtian's guidance, Bo Huang began comprehending the cultivation method. Slowly, a hazy Shangqing immortal radiance flickered around him.

Before long, Bo Huang muttered, "The sword emerges like a dragon, and all techniques return to emptiness. Using the sword in one's hand to intercept a sliver of life for all living beings—is this The Way of Shangqing?"

Hearing Bo Huang's muttering, Tongtian burst into laughter. "My Dao is complete!"

Within Shangqing Palace, Tongtian laughed heartily, then suddenly rose to his feet. "Heavenly Dao above, I, Shangqing Tongtian, have gained enlightenment today and hereby establish a sect named Jie. Its doctrine shall be to intercept a sliver of life between Heaven and Earth. The Four Swords of Zhu Xian shall suppress its fortune. The Jie Sect, arise!"

Thunder rumbled as the Heavenly Dao responded. Purple qi stretched three thousand miles from the east, and vast Establish Sect merit descended, stirring both Opening Heaven merit and Primordial Violet Qi. Tongtian's pressure surged, and all beings of the Primordial Wilderness sensed his Saintly Might, involuntarily bowing in salute.

Inside Zixiao Palace, Hong Jun was so startled that he covered his mouth and muttered, "Nuwa hasn't even created humans yet. How did Tongtian establish a sect already?" It should be noted that Hong Jun had been so shocked by Tongtian suddenly Becoming a Saint that he had plucked out a handful of his own beard, which was why he covered his mouth.

Elsewhere, inside Jade Purity Palace, Yuanshi stroked his beard and muttered, "Well now, this time my third brother actually surpassed me... No, that's not right. It seemed that Bo Huang entered Shangqing Palace, and not long afterward, my third brother became a Saint. Could it be that brat has the ability to guide others into Becoming a Saint?"

Inside Taiqing Palace, Lao Zi made a deduction and thought, What a pity. This old Daoist's opportunity to become a Saint has not arrived yet. No rush, no rush.

After a long while, Tongtian finished digesting his insights from Becoming a Saint. Looking at Bo Huang, his expression was complicated as he said, "I wish to appoint you as the Jie Sect's vice sect leader. What do you think?"

Bo Huang shook his head. "Things are fine as they are now. The position of vice sect leader does not suit me. If I became the Jie Sect's vice sect leader, what would happen when the Wu Yao war breaks out in the future? Whether you helped me or not, it would be troublesome."

As soon as he said this, Tongtian's face flushed red. "I have already become a Saint. Could I possibly fail to protect you? Hmph."

After pondering for a moment, Bo Huang said, "Let me return to the Heavenly Court to see my parents. Our Jie Sect outer sect is still somewhat weak. Although the disciples come in all kinds, most have ordinary foundations, and they are somewhat disorderly. I'll go back and bring a few brothers here to help me manage the outer sect."

Tongtian nodded. "Fine, go ahead. I'll reserve the position of Jie Sect vice sect leader for you. We can discuss it again once you have convinced all the Jie Sect disciples." Bo Huang bowed upon hearing this, then transformed directly into a rainbow streak and shot toward the Heavenly Court.

Duobao happened to witness this scene. Duobao cultivated the Dao of sole supremacy, and ever since Bo Huang had arrived at Shangqing Palace, he had been troubled, always feeling that this brat had come to seize power.

By now, the Jie Sect had quite a few outer sect disciples, currently divided into two factions. One was led by Duobao and included Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, a Golden Immortal who had attained the Dao as a long-eared rabbit of the Primordial Wilderness; Jin Mao Hou, who possessed a top-tier zombie bloodline and Golden Immortal cultivation; Ling Ya Xian, a Golden Immortal who had attained the Dao as a six-tusked white elephant...

The other faction centered on Bo Huang, the Outer Sect Senior Disciple, with its principal figures being Kong Xuan, Jin Peng, Yun Xiao, Zhao Gongming... Though the Jie Sect presented a united front to outsiders, internally it had divided into two factions.

Bo Huang's return to the Heavenly Court this time was chiefly for two matters. First, he wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Nuwa to create humans.

Second, he wanted to bring back a strategist for the Jie Sect. Duobao, a fine direct disciple, actually wanted to play palace intrigue with him? Setting everything else aside, could he, who had come from a business background in his past life and from the demon race's imperial family in this life, really be inferior to a Rogue Cultivator like Duobao?

Before long, Bo Huang arrived above the Heavenly Court, inside Lingxiao Hall. Looking at Di Jun upon the throne, he said, "Father, I'm back."

Before Di Jun could speak, Nuwa spoke first. "Bo Huang, come here and let your aunt take a look. You didn't suffer after marrying into Shangqing Palace, did you?"

Bo Huang laughed heartily. "Haha, Aunt Empress Wa, you jest. How could I suffer? I'm now the Jie Sect's Outer Sect Senior Disciple, responsible for commanding the outer sect. Oh, and I was the one who reminded my master to establish the Jie Sect."

Nuwa's eyes lit up when she heard this. So it really was you who told Tongtian the method to become a Saint. This boy truly is interesting. With that thought, Nuwa said, "Then tell your aunt, Huang'er, where might my own method of Becoming a Saint lie?"

Bo Huang frowned and communicated with the system in his mind. If I directly guide Nuwa to Becoming a Saint now, will Hong Jun come looking to make trouble for me?
