Chen Xuan looked down in the direction of the voice and found that it was coming from a mountain hollow.
What surprised Chen Xuan was that he didn't see who was speaking to him.
Just then, the voice sounded again from the mountain hollow, "Senior Brother, I'm here. Yes, I am that Treasure Pagoda in the mountain hollow."
Chen Xuan looked again in the direction of the voice and indeed found a thirty-three-story pagoda in the mountain hollow.
Moreover, this pagoda was unlike others. It had eight corners, and on each corner hung a magic treasure. There were thirty-three floors in total, and each floor had eight magic treasures.
On top of the pagoda was embedded a bright pearl, from which a brilliant light occasionally shone.
This Treasure Pagoda had already developed sentience and was about to transform and attain the Dao. It seemed that the conflict between the Witch Race and the Demon Race was very likely caused by it.
Chen Xuan simply descended from the clouds and came before the Treasure Pagoda, examining it while nodding repeatedly.
This made the Treasure Pagoda feel very anxious, fearing that this person would destroy its sentience with a single move.
However, its current situation left it with no other choice.
It could only say in a pleading voice, "Please, Senior Brother, save me. You must not let me fall into the hands of those Demon Race or Witch Race members.
Otherwise, they will surely erase my sentience and refine my body into an Innate Spiritual Treasure for their use."
"How do you know I won't destroy your sentience and refine you into a magic treasure? Also, why do you call me Senior Brother?"
Chen Xuan's face was expressionless, and his voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
This made the Treasure Pagoda feel very worried, and it quickly explained to Chen Xuan.
"Senior Brother, you may not know, but a thousand years ago, I had not yet developed sentience. It was Supreme Purity Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, who enlightened me and gave me sentience.
Originally, I was just waiting to transform and then go to Kunlun Mountain to become a disciple, but I didn't expect these Demon Race and Witch Race members to discover me and fight fiercely over me.
Just now, I sensed the fluctuation of the Supreme Purity Immortal Technique on Senior Brother, and I knew you must be Master's disciple, which is why I called you Senior Brother."
Chen Xuan nodded after hearing this. "Do you have a name?"
"Yes, I have a name. Because my body is the Treasure Pagoda, Master gave me the name Daoist Duobao."
As Chen Xuan expected, it was indeed the original chief disciple of the Intercepting Sect, Daoist Duobao, who would become the Tathagata Buddha, the leader of Buddhism, in the future.
However, Chen Xuan had no good feelings towards this person. In fact, Chen Xuan had always considered this guy a traitor.
Firstly, during the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Tongtian advocated for his disciples to close their mountain gates and avoid disaster.
If it weren't for Daoist Duobao's repeated instigation, Tongtian would not have angrily set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
It was precisely because the Immortal Slaughtering Formation was broken that Tongtian eventually set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, which resulted in the demise of the Intercepting Sect.
On the other hand, Daoist Duobao was taken by Taishang Laozi to the Shouyang Mountain Eight Scenery Palace. He eventually left Hangu Pass, transformed the barbarians into Buddhas, and achieved a perfect ending.
Daoist Duobao had no idea what Chen Xuan was thinking. He just noticed that Chen Xuan's expression had become a little unpleasant.
This made him feel very worried, and he quickly said, "If Senior Brother doesn't believe me, you can take Junior Brother to confront Master.
If Junior Brother has even half a lie, I am willing to destroy my own sentience and turn into an Innate Spiritual Treasure for Senior Brother to command."
Honestly, Chen Xuan really wanted to destroy this guy with a single palm right now. Anyway, he had already taken the identity of the chief disciple of the Intercepting Sect, so he wasn't afraid of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
lest he incur some karma by taking the identity of the Intercepting Sect's eldest disciple.
However, in the end, Chen Xuan did not do so. Instead, he decided to save Daoist Duobao and even prepared to help him transform into a human.
Chen Xuan knew the future of the Intercepting Sect better than anyone. To repay Tongtian's kindness in saving him that day, he gave up the opportunity to become Hongjun Daozu's disciple and instead became Tongtian's disciple.
This meant he was destined to defy fate for his master and help the Intercepting Sect turn things around.
And this Daoist Duobao would become the first piece in Chen Xuan's plan.
He then waved his hand, and a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill flew out, directly entering the Treasure Pagoda.
"Use the power of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to transform into a human. Senior Brother, I will protect you."
As Chen Xuan spoke, he waved his hand. Instantly, monstrous waves surged up, directly protecting Daoist Duobao in the center.
This made Daoist Duobao extremely grateful. After thanking Chen Xuan, he began to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.
Chen Xuan's actions naturally startled the fighting Witch and Demon Races, causing them to instantly stop their struggle and simultaneously surge towards the mountain hollow.
The first one to arrive pointed his twelve-foot steel spear at Chen Xuan and said, "Who are you? Why are you snatching this Great King's magic treasure?"
Chen Xuan ignored the Demon King and spoke to Daoist Duobao, "Today, I help you transform and attain the Dao, which means you owe me a debt of karma.
If in the future you dare to do anything that goes against Master, I will come to collect this karma, and then I will make your soul scatter."
As Chen Xuan spoke, he used his innate power. Each word he spoke formed a physical entity in mid-air.
Then, one after another, they struck the Treasure Pagoda, directly planting a brand deep within Daoist Duobao's soul.
At the same time, the Treasure Pagoda trembled all over and spoke directly, "Senior Brother, rest assured, Duobao will absolutely not betray Master, nor will I disobey Senior Brother. Otherwise, I am willing to have my soul scatter and turn into dust."
In the Primordial Era, words spoken became oaths, especially since Daoist Duobao made this vow during his transformation. This also completely put Chen Xuan at ease.
Meanwhile, the Demon King was furious to the extreme. He commanded the little demons around him to pounce on Chen Xuan.
And those Witch Race members were not slow either, clamoring and rushing towards Chen Xuan.
It was a pity that whether it was the Demon King of the Demon Race or the leader of the Witch Race, their cultivation was only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm.
In front of Chen Xuan, who was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, they had no chance of winning at all. Moreover, Chen Xuan also had his innate magic treasure, the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.
Chen Xuan slightly closed his eyes and raised his hands slightly. In an instant, boundless Weak Water surged from underground, trapping both the Witch and Demon Races within the Weak Water.
"Listen carefully, this Treasure Pagoda has been enlightened by my Master, Supreme Purity Tongtian, and has developed spiritual intelligence and is about to transform and attain the Dao.
At the same time, he is also a disciple of the orthodox Pangu Three Pure Ones. You are not qualified to covet him. Retreat now to avoid having your head separated from your body."
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand and withdrew the boundless Weak Water.
Those Witch and Demon Races were so scared that they turned around and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Just as Chen Xuan was feeling pleased, he heard someone behind him say, "It's a good thing my nephew acted in time, otherwise this disciple of mine would have been in trouble."
