Immortal mist lingered, cranes cried and apes shrieked, and spiritual springs were everywhere, a truly immortal scene.

This blessed land of grotto-heavens was Golden Turtle Island, the Dao field of the Saint Tongtian.

At this moment, in the main hall of Biyou Palace, the Sect Master Tongtian, dressed in purple robes, had Dao rhymes flowing around him and saintly sounds echoing endlessly.

The Three Thousand Great Daos and numerous exceptionally wondrous Dao methods flowed from his mouth like a gentle breeze.

How profound were the methods of a Saint? The sound of the Great Dao was like a saintly decree, continuously circulating within Biyou Palace.

For a time, heavenly flowers rained down in Biyou Palace, golden lotuses sprung from the ground, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered in the main hall, like a celestial realm of the Nine Heavens.

Dao followed nature, unparalleled in heaven and earth. Sect Master Tongtian taught without discrimination, and all beings listened, utterly captivated.

Outside Biyou Palace, countless demon beasts that had just gained sentience but had not yet transformed, all prostrated themselves on the ground.

They listened motionlessly to Sect Master Tongtian's lecture, fearing they would miss a single sentence and thus miss their opportunity for transformation.

Meanwhile, inside Biyou Palace, the many disciples of the Jie Sect sat cross-legged on their futons, immersed in deep contemplation.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth, following the Dao rhymes from Sect Master Tongtian's mouth, entered the ears of each disciple along a mysterious trajectory.

Sect Master Tongtian stopped expounding the supreme wondrous methods and looked at the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect before him.

The four direct disciples, the seven attendant immortals, and tens of thousands of outer disciples – this couldn't help but put Sect Master Tongtian in a good mood.

After all, all of this represented the prosperity of the Jie Sect, representing that the Jie Sect was the master of this tribulation. Otherwise, how could there be myriad immortals coming to pay homage?

Just then, the voice of Hongjun Daozu sounded in Sect Master Tongtian's ear.

"The Six Saints are to immediately proceed to Zixiao Palace to jointly discuss establishing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors for the human race."

Sect Master Tongtian stood up and bowed towards Zixiao Palace. "Disciple Tongtian, I accept Master's decree."

He then spoke to the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect beside him, saying, "Your Grandmaster has summoned me to Zixiao Palace for a matter.

During the time I am not here, your Senior Brother will oversee the Jie Sect. If you have any questions about cultivation, you may go to the back mountain and ask your Senior Brother."

Having said that, Sect Master Tongtian ordered the Water Fire Boy to bring the Kui Cow. He mounted the Kui Cow and headed towards Zixiao Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The disciples all shouted in unison, "Respectfully seeing off Master."

Sect Master Tongtian left, and the disciples of the Jie Sect couldn't help but begin to whisper amongst themselves.

"Senior Brother? Is Master talking about that Senior Brother who is still only a Heavenly Immortal?"

"I really don't know what Master is thinking. A mere Heavenly Immortal is our Jie Sect's Senior Brother. How can he compare to Senior Brother Duobao?"

"Master even told us to ask him if we don't understand something. If we don't understand, can he possibly understand?"

Hearing the disciples whispering, Duobao Daoren's face couldn't help but show a hint of gloom.

"You are not to discuss Senior Brother behind his back. Otherwise, once Master finds out, no one can save you."

With that, Duobao Daoren flicked his Daoist robe, turned around, and returned to his cave dwelling to cultivate.

To be honest, among the disciples of the Jie Sect, the one who was most dissatisfied with that senior brother was definitely Duobao Daoren.

Duobao Daoren was the first to become a disciple of Sect Master Tongtian. At that time, Sect Master Tongtian was not yet a Saint, and the Three Pure Ones had not yet separated.

Logically, Duobao Daoren should have been the senior brother of the Jie Sect, as disciples were accepted in order.

But the current senior brother of the Jie Sect was actually one of the first humans personally created by Nüwa Niangniang.

Just because he was the first disciple Sect Master Tongtian accepted after he attained Sainthood, he became the senior brother of the Jie Sect just like that.

So Duobao Daoren was not convinced, and neither were the other disciples of the Jie Sect.

Fortunately, this senior brother was relatively low-key and rarely participated in Jie Sect affairs under normal circumstances.

He always hid alone in the back mountain of Golden Turtle Island, tinkering with who knows what all day long.

"Hong Ze, I have something to attend to and am going to Zixiao Palace to see your grand-master. You will manage the Jie Sect during this time."

Hong Ze, who was writing in his thatched hut, suddenly heard Sect Master Tongtian's secret voice transmission.

This made Hong Ze shake his head repeatedly, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, Master, aren't you making things difficult for your disciple?

He recalled that he had been in the Primordial World for at least tens of thousands of years.

But he had disgraced all the transmigrators, because his cultivation was only at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Moreover, this Heavenly Immortal cultivation was innate; it was not something Hong Ze had cultivated.

At the beginning of his transmigration, Hong Ze had bound the Great Dao System, which made Hong Ze feel that his future was bright.

He had originally planned to develop cautiously, but somehow, he was forcibly taken into the Jie Sect by Sect Master Tongtian and even became the senior brother of the Jie Sect.

What was even more infuriating was that the Great Dao System he possessed, apart from its imposing name, was utterly useless.

Besides teaching him music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, farming, and various craftsman skills, it had no other use.

Just as Hong Ze finished writing the last word, the Great Dao System's prompt sounded in Hong Ze's ear again.

[Host has successfully attained Great Dao Music Saint, Great Dao Chess Saint, Great Dao Calligraphy Saint, Great Dao Painting Saint, Great Dao Cooking Saint, Great Dao Farming Saint, Great Dao Medicine Saint, Great Dao Craftsman Saint, Great Dao Tea Saint.] [Because the Host has successfully attained the Nine Great Dao Saints, the Great Dao System can no longer assist the Host and is now beginning to uninstall.]

"Wait, what's going on? It's uninstalling just like that? Aren't you being a bit too irresponsible?"

Unfortunately, no matter how much Hong Ze complained, he couldn't change the fact that the Great Dao System was uninstalling.

At the same time, in the back mountain of Golden Turtle Island, nine rays of light suddenly flashed, each one shooting straight into the sky.

Even the Six Saints who were on their way to Zixiao Palace couldn't help but look towards Golden Turtle Island.

Unfortunately, all they saw was a hazy expanse, with no extraordinary sights.

So, one by one, they activated their Saintly Dao, wanting to deduce the heavenly secrets to see what had happened on Golden Turtle Island.

But just as they were about to focus their minds, they felt a surge of qi and blood within their bodies.

If they were to forcefully deduce further, they would likely vomit blood and suffer severe injuries.

"What's going on? What exactly happened on Golden Turtle Island?"

This was the shared thought in the minds of the other Saints, besides the Tongtian Sect Master.

Meanwhile, the Tongtian Sect Master had a meaningful smile on his face.

"Kid, you finally made a move. It wasn't in vain that I went against all opinions ten thousand years ago and made you the Eldest Disciple of the Jie Sect."

Hong Ze didn't know that the Saints were all paying attention to him. Instead, he sat dejectedly at the table.

"It's over, it's over. With my current meager ability and without the help of the Great Dao System, once the Investiture of the Gods arrives, I'm definitely going to end up on the Investiture of the Gods list."

Little did he know that even when the Great Dao System was present, it didn't seem to help him much.

Just then, a handsome face peeked out from outside the thatched hut.

"Eldest Senior Brother, what is the Great Dao System? What is the Investiture of the Gods? Why would you become a famous person on the list?"

Seeing that the person who arrived was Gui Ling Holy Mother, Hong Ze immediately stood up and said,

"How many times have I told you? You need to knock before entering. Why can't you remember?"

After speaking, he didn't forget to give Gui Ling Holy Mother a light but firm tap on the head.
