"Master, so that's how it is! I understand now!"
"Hahaha!"
Tongtian laughed with boundless delight, even cupping his hands toward Lin Tian in salute.
Laozi's discovery of his opportunity today had naturally been arranged by Lin Tian.
Having seen through the reason for Laozi's ascension to sainthood, Tongtian naturally owed Lin Tian his thanks as well.
"I am Cult Leader Tongtian, a disciple of Vine Dao Venerable, born from the Pangu Primordial Spirit. Today, I establish a teaching named Jiejiao!"
"Its purpose is to seize a thread of heaven's secrets!"
The instant he finished speaking, four sharp swords shot from Tongtian's body. They were the true Four Zhuxian Swords.
The four swords soared into the air, drawing upon the energies of heaven and earth.
Boundless merit descended at that moment, pouring fully into Tongtian's body.
Whether Nuwa, Laozi, or Tongtian, their method of becoming Saints ultimately amounted to Attaining Sainthood Through Merit.
Nuwa's merit had come from Creating Humans.
Laozi's and Tongtian's merit, however, came from the blessings of the great god Pan Gu.
All this merit was the remaining World-Opening merit from long ago.
Establishing their teachings was merely the catalyst.
Amid thunderous rumbling, Cult Leader Tongtian successfully attained the Dao of primordial unity.
Immediately afterward, the voice of Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi rang throughout heaven and earth from Mount Kunlun in the west.
"I am Yuanshi, a disciple of Hongjun, born from the Pangu Primordial Spirit. Today, I establish a teaching named Chan, to elucidate the principles of heaven and earth."
Lin Tian was naturally familiar with this treasure. It was none other than the supreme treasure of slaughter Hongjun had once held in his hands-the Pangu Banner.
The Pan Gu Banner was also one of the treasures formed after the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe shattered.
"The Dao is attained!"
