Son Goku and Tongtian nodded.
Tongtian said, "It's time to raise the banner of Jiejiao once more."
Scumbag Kakarot said, "Oh, I'd almost forgotten you still had quite a few outstanding disciples."
Tongtian said, "Indeed. Duobao, Yunxiao, and Golden Spirit all had profound cultivation and extraordinary talent. Without the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, they might have had a chance to attain the Hunyuan realm. Alas, Duobao was converted into Tathagata, Yunxiao's body was trapped beneath Kirin Cliff, and her soul was placed on the Investiture of the Gods. Golden Spirit fared a little better. Although she too was placed on the Investiture of the Gods, her position is second only to Haotian Boy's."
Scumbag Kakarot said, "That's simple. Why not destroy the Investiture of the Gods and release their true spirits?"
Tongtian said, "With my current strength, destroying the Investiture of the Gods would be effortless. But that old scoundrel Hongjun would certainly notice."
"No matter. I'll handle it," Scumbag Kakarot said.
Tongtian said, "Very well. Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Scumbag Kakarot nodded and said, "Judging by the time, Zhenyuanzi should have attained the Dao by now. Wait here. I'll be right back."
His figure flashed, and in the next instant, he appeared inside the Five Villages Abbey Secret Realm.
He saw Zhenyuanzi pacing back and forth, pondering something.
He said, "Brother, three days apart have felt like three years. Have you broken through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm?"
Seeing Scumbag Kakarot, Zhenyuanzi exclaimed joyfully, "Daoist brother, I broke through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm some time ago. I simply haven't dared to appear in the Earth Immortal Realm, for fear that the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun would scheme against me during my tribulation."
"Oh, I see. Leave it to me, then," Scumbag Kakarot said.
