He didn't give Laozi and Yuanshi a chance to speak again.

Hongjun then took Tongtian and left Kunlun Mountain directly.

Laozi and the other watched, both feeling a bit uneasy.

"Why do I feel like our third brother is more like the Master's direct disciple?"

"Even though it was us two who formally became disciples!"

Yuanshi said with a hint of sourness.

Laozi felt the same way, but he coughed lightly and said, "Master is doing this for our own good."

"With our current cultivation, we truly cannot participate in such a Great Tribulation of the Worlds."

Yuanshi's heart filled with grief and indignation. He made a decision.

He would turn his grief into motivation for his cultivation. He had to cultivate diligently and catch up to Tongtian as soon as possible.

Only then could he avoid missing out on future opportunities.

Otherwise, if all the good fortune went to their third brother, who was the elder brother and who was the younger?

Laozi didn't say much more. He also made up his mind to strive for excellence.

He needed to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible.

After all, he was the eldest of the Three Pure Ones. If this continued, their third brother's name might resound throughout the Primordial World first.

Did he, as the elder brother, still have any face left?

Xihe and Changxi also found suitable places within Kunlun Mountain to cultivate.

This time, they had truly benefited greatly from following Tongtian.

They had gained many insights from Hongjun's sermon, and they really needed to go into seclusion to digest them.

Ao Li's cultivation spot was not far from theirs, and she had already entered seclusion.

When she was under Tongtian's control back then, Tongtian's cultivation was not much different from hers.

Now, Tongtian had far surpassed her.

This made Ao Li determined to catch up to Tongtian as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Tongtian followed Hongjun, wandering aimlessly through the Primordial World.

Tongtian didn't ask any questions. As long as he followed Hongjun, he would definitely profit and not lose out.

After an unknown amount of time, Hongjun stopped and asked, "What is your view on the general trend of the Primordial World?"

"For example, the three clans currently vying for supremacy."

"Which clan do you think will succeed and ultimately dominate the Primordial World?"

During this time, he had been testing Tongtian, wanting to see if Tongtian could settle his mind.

He had to admit, Tongtian's temperament was indeed superior.

This made Hongjun value and favor him even more, but it was a pity that this child had not formally become his disciple.

However, he was confident that after witnessing his methods.

Tongtian would eventually join his sect.

Looking across the entire Primordial World, besides himself, who else could be Tongtian's master?

Rahou would eventually be his defeated opponent, and Yang Mei was accustomed to a carefree life, so he wouldn't easily take on another burden.

Only he was the most suitable master for the Three Pure Ones!

Tongtian listened to Hongjun's question, knowing that this was also part of Hongjun's test.

Although he hadn't become Hongjun's disciple, building a good relationship with Hongjun was still very necessary.

Moreover, Hongjun had been treating the Three Pure Ones quite well so far.

"In my opinion, none of the three clans will be the victor."

"The Dragon Clan is indeed powerful, but it's impossible for them to suppress both the Qilin Clan and the Phoenix Clan."

"If they continue to fight like this, the greater possibility is that they will both suffer heavy losses."

"Furthermore, the three clans have short-sighted ambitions, do not understand the Heavenly Dao, and do not value virtue."

"Engaging in such a boundless war that sweeps across the Primordial World will only cause all three sides to bear immense karma and sin."

"Their ultimate fate will be the same, and they will not end up well."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun nodded with satisfaction.

Good, very good.

He hadn't expected Tongtian's vision to be so far-reaching.

This way, it seemed that Tongtian hadn't rashly provoked the Dragon Clan back then.

Clearly, they knew the Dragon Clan's days were numbered, which was why they acted without fear.

"As expected of the primordial spirit transformed from the Great God Pangu."

"This venerable one didn't misjudge you. You are indeed more intelligent and farsighted than your two elder brothers!"

"However, you've only seen the surface of this matter. In reality, regardless of whether the three clans have the will to fight, they ultimately cannot escape this Great Tribulation."

"Don't be fooled by how powerful the three clans appear. There are still unseen hands behind the scenes in the world, silently pushing all of this."

"Do you understand?"

Hongjun said with a smile.

It was already quite remarkable that Tongtian could see this much.

Since he had decided to keep Tongtian by his side, Hongjun intended to reveal more about the true depths of this Great Tribulation to him.

The Dragon-Han Tribulation had been brewing for a long time.

It wouldn't be long before it fully erupted.

Therefore, this wasn't considered leaking heavenly secrets.

As expected, surprise appeared on Tongtian's face, and he directly asked, "Are there such individuals in the world?"

"May I ask, senior, who dares to be so audacious as to use the three clans as pawns?"

In reality, his heart was clear.

He only spoke this way to satisfy Hongjun's desire to teach.

Furthermore, he had been an observer from beginning to end, naturally not understanding many of the finer details.

Hongjun, however, was different. Like Rahou of the Western World, he was one of the players in this Great Tribulation!

He would surely have a clearer understanding of many matters than Tongtian.

Hongjun chuckled and directly stated, "Those with such capabilities are naturally individuals with the same origins as this poor Daoist."

"That is to say, Rahou of the Western World."

Tongtian feigned ignorance and asked, "What benefit does provoking a war between the three clans bring to Rahou?"

"He is located in the Western World, while the three clans are fighting in the East."

"No matter how one looks at it, there seems to be no connection between them!"

Hongjun sighed, "His goal is naturally the same as the three clans: to dominate the Primordial World."

"Rahou walks the path of proving Dao through killing. He wants his Demon Clan to rule the entire Primordial World."

"Therefore, he has been instigating discord between the three clans from behind the scenes."

"And simultaneously causing the three clans to accumulate immense karmic sin."

"Otherwise, the karmic killing between the three clans wouldn't be so profound."

At this point, Hongjun didn't wait for Tongtian to ask further and voluntarily said, "Rahou's actions are naturally against the will of heaven."

"But he is like me, and his cultivation is not weaker than mine."

"Even if I wanted to stop him, I would be unable to."

"I can only watch as he leads the three clans step by step into the immeasurable tribulation."

There was already inherent discord between him and Rahou.

Moreover, from the perspective of the Great Dao, Hongjun was more aligned with the Heavenly Dao, which was why he was able to achieve harmony with it.

Rahou's choice to seek Dao through killing meant he was naturally standing against the Heavenly Dao's favor.

Tongtian also understood Hongjun's meaning.

He pondered with a thoughtful expression.

Rahou was truly ruthless, but he had underestimated the capabilities of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao!

By choosing such a path, he was inherently abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

It could be said that what he intended to do was of no benefit to the Primordial World at all.

It was no wonder he would ultimately lose to Hongjun.

Even without Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao would not stand idly by and watch him succeed and bring disaster to the Primordial World.

Therefore, his fate, like that of the three clans, was obvious.

Of course, Tongtian knew that Rahou had some special contingency plans.

As he was contemplating, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the world.

This signaled that the Great Tribulation had fully erupted.

The three clans, with their grievances brewing for years, had finally commenced their fierce final battle.

The most striking manifestation was the condensation of terrifying, immense malevolent energy in various parts of the Primordial World.

The malevolent energy was incredibly dense, and the location was precisely on the battlefield of the three clans' war.

Rumble!

Even from a great distance, one could feel the brutality of the three clans' slaughter.

Countless energies erupted and then collided.

Endless ripples continuously spread across the sky.

"With so much energy, the foundations of the three clans are truly not to be underestimated."

"This battle is destined to be incredibly fierce."

"It's a pity that after this great war, the three clans will never recover their former glory."

"What awaits them is not glory, but endless karma."

Tongtian shook his head slightly, his heart filled with emotion.

The stronger the foundation the three clans displayed, the wider the area affected by this battle.

He wondered how many living beings in the Primordial World would be caught in the crossfire.

The Primordial World currently had no Six Paths of Reincarnation; once these living beings died, they would inevitably become wandering remnant souls.

When these remnant souls further evolved into Ghost Immortals, infinite karma would then spread!

"Wait! Aren't these remnant souls one of my opportunities?"

A bright light suddenly flashed before Tongtian's eyes.

He held the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Reincarnation Seal, in his hand!

Normally, it was impossible to find vast numbers of remnant souls in the world.

But now, under the Great Tribulation, the number of remnant souls would undoubtedly be as vast as the sea.

If he could use the Reincarnation Seal to ferry these remnant souls, even just a portion of them.

It would definitely bring him immense benefits and merit!

Thinking of this, Tongtian could barely contain himself.

Supervising wandering souls would surely grant a large amount of Heavenly Dao Merit.

Perhaps he could use this Heavenly Dao Merit to forcefully break through to Primordial Golden Immortal.

If he could attain Primordial Golden Immortal during the outbreak of the Great Tribulation, the benefits he would receive would be even greater.

Even if he couldn't attain Primordial Golden Immortal, there would be no loss.

On the contrary, the more Heavenly Dao Merit he possessed, the more stable his position would be.

At that time, neither Rahou nor the three clans would dare to make a move against him.

Moreover, he had Hongjun's protection. If things truly came to a critical moment, Hongjun would certainly not stand by and do nothing.

Hongjun also saw that Tongtian had other ideas in mind.

Under the Great Tribulation, the Primordial World was in a state of chaos.

But as long as one had sufficient strength, this was also the best time to seize opportunities.

Therefore, he spoke directly, "Do whatever you want."

"You possess Heaven-Opening Merit, so even Rahou wouldn't easily plot against you."

"Self-preservation is definitely not an issue."

"If you truly encounter danger, you can call out my name, and I will come to your aid."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior!"

After speaking, he chose a direction and left directly.

Watching Tongtian's figure disappear into the horizon, Hongjun couldn't help but shake his head.

Such an intelligent disciple was truly rare.

He absolutely had to take him as his disciple.

However, now was not the time to worry about this matter; he had to find a way to resolve Rahou once and for all.

He absolutely could not allow Rahou to continue causing chaos in the Primordial World.

Otherwise, once he gained enough power, it would be difficult to deal with him.

Hongjun was confident in himself, but he would not underestimate this opponent of many years.

He had already made up his mind to find a few more old friends to act together.

He would ensure Rahou had no chance to rise again!

After leaving Hongjun, Tongtian headed straight for the three clans' battlefield.

Where in the world were the remnant souls most numerous at this time?

This must be the center of the Three Clans' great war!

The Three Clans' war was so brutal, and many powerful experts from the three clans must have died in it.

These individuals were also the most likely to cultivate into Ghost Immortals and wreak havoc upon the Primordial World.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Tongtian finally saw the powerful experts of the three clans battling in the heavens and earth.

Numerous experts clashed in the void.

Terrifying power permeated the entire world, and the void was filled with an incredibly dense scent of blood.

Moreover, countless corpses rained down continuously, crashing onto the land.

The corpses piled up like mountains, and rivers of blood flowed.

The scene before him was like the end of the world.

Tongtian's eyes flickered, and he looked up towards the sky. As expected, he saw a large number of souls.

These souls had only recently come into existence.

Because they had nowhere to go, they drifted in the sky, appearing as if they had all gathered together, leaving one stunned.

This awe-inspiring expanse of souls was, in Tongtian's eyes, a massive opportunity!

He felt no fear; instead, his heart was filled with joy.

He absolutely could not miss such an opportunity.

Thus, Tongtian formed a hand seal and immediately unleashed the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Reincarnation Seal.

Buzz!

The Reincarnation Seal hovered before Tongtian. In the next moment, Tongtian poured all his vast magical power into it.

As a rumbling sound echoed from within the Reincarnation Seal, its light flashed instantly.

The light shot straight into the sky, and infinite spiritual essence surged wildly.

In the blink of an eye, the Reincarnation Seal had grown to a size of hundreds of millions of feet, like an immortal mountain piercing the clouds, spanning across heaven and earth.

Rumble!

The Reincarnation Seal vibrated violently, and an immensely powerful suction force emanated from it.

The souls, still in a daze, were all drawn into the Reincarnation Seal.

With Tongtian going all out, the souls in sight were quickly absorbed into the Reincarnation Seal, leaving none behind.

However, he did not put the Reincarnation Seal away.

As the Three Clans' war escalated, more and more souls would appear in the world.

For him, this was just the beginning!

He formed hand seals again, channeling streams of profound power into the Reincarnation Seal.

The Reincarnation Seal spun with flowing light, and the spiritual essence of the laws of reincarnation flickered in and out of existence.

This indicated that the laws of reincarnation within the Reincarnation Seal had taken effect, purifying the souls that had been devoured.

This could be considered doing a good deed for the Primordial World.

If these souls were left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before many Ghost Immortals appeared in the Primordial World, and then all living beings would be slaughtered by these soulless Ghost Immortals.

As the Reincarnation Seal continuously purified the souls, Tongtian also felt the rewards from the Heavenly Dao!

He looked up and saw countless golden lights descending from the sky.

These golden lights flew from different directions, like countless fireflies dancing above the clouds.

The target of these golden lights was naturally Tongtian.

Buzz!

As the golden lights poured into Tongtian's body one after another, he immediately felt a profound reaction within himself.

Upon introspection, he discovered that these golden lights began to condense within his body.

They formed a brilliant and dazzling golden orb of light.

The number of these orbs seemed small, but they were genuine Heavenly Dao Merit!

This brought a smile to Tongtian's face.

This was a good start for him. He wondered how much merit he would accumulate with this orb of golden light in the end!
