Feeling helpless, Chen Xuan could only put away the Profound Origin Wave Transformation Art and walked directly towards Tongtian.

While massaging Tongtian's legs, he said, "Master, it seems I didn't make any mistakes?"

"You wantonly crippled nearly a hundred of my disciples. You still call that not making a mistake?"

Hearing Tongtian say this, Chen Xuan immediately protested, "Master, you are wronging me.

To help Master test their loyalty to you, this disciple risked incurring karma with Martial Uncle Zhunti!

And the facts prove that this disciple's worries were correct. Those people are simply not worthy of being Master's disciples."

Although Tongtian agreed with Chen Xuan's statement, he didn't show it on the surface.

Instead, he pretended to have a gloomy face and said, "Those disciples have just entered my sect, so their character is naturally not very stable.

With time and careful guidance, they will surely become loyal to me.

But what you did was to induce them to make mistakes, which is not something an Eldest Senior Brother should do.

Therefore, I have decided that I must punish you severely this time."

This instantly made Chen Xuan's expression turn into that of a resentful woman, looking pitifully at Tongtian.

"Master, if you do this, it will truly chill this disciple's heart. From now on, this disciple will no longer care about Master.

As for the task of refining and suppressing the Great Teaching's destiny treasure, Master, you should choose someone else."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, a black mist flew out from between his eyebrows and hovered in front of Tongtian.

At the same time, the True Spirits of those nearly hundred disciples also flew out from Chen Xuan's hand.

Only then did Tongtian remember the black mist that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had given Chen Xuan in the Purple Cloud Palace.

He didn't care what Chen Xuan was preparing to do, but directly asked Chen Xuan, "Tell me about it."

Another nonsensical "Tell me about it" left Chen Xuan feeling both amused and frustrated.

"Master, can't you use a fresher word? It's always 'Tell me about it'. What exactly do you want this disciple to say?"

"Stop trying to fool me. What exactly is this black mist that your Grandmaster gave you?"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "It's not impossible to tell you, but it has to count as this disciple atoning for his mistakes.

You old man can't punish this disciple anymore, otherwise, Master, you can figure it out yourself."

Tongtian was so angry with Chen Xuan that he gritted his teeth and snorted coldly before saying, "If you talk nonsense again, I will punish you by making you face the wall for a hundred thousand years."

Chen Xuan pretended to look scared and said to Tongtian, "Master, please be merciful. Can't I just tell you now?"

This made Tongtian nod with satisfaction, "Then hurry up and tell me."

Chen Xuan sighed helplessly, "Does Master still remember the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou from back then?"

Of course, Tongtian couldn't possibly forget, so he nodded to Chen Xuan.

"Of course I remember. Back then, your Grandmaster fought with the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. That was a major event that shook heaven and earth.

If my cultivation hadn't been insufficient back then, I would have definitely helped your Grandmaster."

But what does this black energy have to do with the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou?"

"Master, do you still remember how many magic treasures Demon Ancestor Luo Hou possessed?"

Tongtian thought for a moment, then said to Chen Xuan, "That Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was also an innate being. He had the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction by his side, which was both offensive and defensive, and impervious to all magic.

The God Slaying Spear could injure a saint's True Spirit and was the foremost killing weapon between heaven and earth.

The Immortal Slaughtering Four Swords and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram could set up the Innate Killing Formation, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation. They have now fallen into my hands."

"That's it? Could it be that Master only knows this much and doesn't know that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had another Innate Supreme Treasure?"

This couldn't help but make Tongtian pause, and he thought for a long time but couldn't recall anything else that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had.

Seeing that Tongtian hadn't thought of it, Chen Xuan didn't keep him in suspense any longer.

Instead, he directly said, "It seems Master has forgotten. That Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had another Innate Supreme Treasure called the Nine Demon Tower."

Hearing Chen Xuan say the name Nine Demon Tower, Tongtian couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

It wasn't that Tongtian hadn't heard of the Nine Demon Tower, but he couldn't believe that the black energy Dao Ancestor Hongjun gave Chen Xuan would be the Nine Demon Tower.

After all, this Nine Demon Tower was the companion spiritual treasure of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. It could even be said that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was the Nine Demon Tower transformed.

And this Nine Demon Tower was a magic treasure born in chaos. Its grade had already reached the level of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Even compared to the Pangu Axe in Pangu's hand and the complete Creation Jade Plate, its grade wasn't much different.

Just like the Creation Jade Plate in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's hand, it was severely damaged during the creation of the world, which caused its grade to drop to that of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Even so, it was not comparable to the Pangu Banner, the Taiji Diagram, and the Eastern Emperor Bell.

So Tongtian immediately said, "What did you say? You said this black energy your grandmaster gave you is the Nine Demon Tower?"

Chen Xuan nodded, then shook his head again, "Master, you're only half right, because this black energy is just the origin power of the Nine Demon Tower.

That's why this disciple had to go through great hardship to make it return to its origin and condense into a physical form again.

In the past thousand years, this disciple has truly put in a lot of effort. It's just a pity that good intentions don't get rewarded, and in the end, I still have to face punishment.

Alas, never mind. Who told this disciple to meet an unreliable master? If I'm punished, I'm punished. Isn't it just facing the wall for a hundred thousand years?"

Chen Xuan, like a resentful woman, stepped out and prepared to walk out of Shangqing Palace.

He had the air of someone who was throwing down the tools and refusing to work, which made Tongtian's teeth itch with hatred.

"You brat, stop right there! Stop complaining. Don't think I don't know what you're plotting in your heart."

Chen Xuan chuckled, then immediately turned around and walked behind Tongtian.

While massaging Tongtian's shoulders, he said, "Master, the Nine Demon Tower has too much demonic energy.

Even if this disciple can make it return to its origin, I cannot reduce its demonic energy.

At that time, if Master uses it to suppress the Great Teaching's luck, it will inevitably affect the disciples and eventually lead them into the demonic path.

Therefore, this disciple believes that this Nine Demon Tower must be refined into a new Innate Supreme Treasure.

Even if its demonic energy cannot be completely extinguished, it must be transformed into an Innate Supreme Treasure dominated by Shangqing immortal energy.

Even the name, this disciple has thought of it for Master. It will be called the Nine-Layered Tongtian Tower."

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Tongtian couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Could this be the real reason you crippled those nearly a hundred disciples?

If you need to use the True Spirits of my disciples to refine this Nine-Layered Tongtian Tower, I would rather not have this Innate Supreme Treasure that suppresses the Great Teaching's destiny."

This was Tongtian, a person who would absolutely never choose to use his disciples to achieve his own goals.

This made Chen Xuan feel even more strongly that he had not chosen the wrong Master.

He immediately spoke, "Master, where are you thinking? This disciple is not such a deranged person.

It's even more impossible for me to use the lives of my fellow disciples to refine some magic treasure that suppresses the Great Teaching's destiny."

Tongtian nodded after hearing this. "Then how do you plan to refine it? I would like to hear about it."
