The Three Sects Are Coming to Cause Trouble

Gu Changqing was startled, too. The Great Luo Golden Immortal he'd just popped into existence nearly dropped a cultivation realm.

He quickly took a Limitless Creation Pill to calm his nerves.

Tong Tian: "Did you dig up the Dao Ancestor's ancestral grave? So many Merit Treasures, and so many pills!"

Only the Dao Ancestor can refine the Limitless Creation Pill!

I've seen arrogant, but never this arrogant.

I've seen wasteful, but never this wasteful.

After a long while, Tong Tian said, "That concludes the sermon for today. Everyone, return and cultivate diligently. Changqing, stay."

He absolutely needs a private lesson!

The disciples exited the main hall. Though they harbored doubts, they dared not question Tong Tian's words.

"Changqing, while pills can rapidly increase cultivation, they can also destabilize your foundation."

"Master's admonishment is well-received."

Gu Changqing nodded in agreement, though inwardly he was unconvinced.

If the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and the Limitless Creation Pill had side effects, Supreme Lord Laozi would be out of a job.

Besides, these were system-produced!

It was just a shame that the Limitless Creation Pill could only boost cultivation to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and there were no pills for further advancement.

Tong Tian wanted to scold him a few more times but suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

He was consuming his own pills; what reason did he have to blame him?

Oh, never mind!

Tong Tian sighed inwardly, then added, "You should remain in Biyou Palace and cultivate diligently."

Tong Tian really needed some peace and quiet.

"This disciple accepts the command."

Gu Changqing: Damn it, he's going to put me under house arrest!

Tong Tian had wanted to ask about Gu Changqing's origins but ultimately dismissed the idea.

If he couldn't deduce it, asking him directly probably wouldn't yield any answers either.

Water Fire Child led Gu Changqing to a side hall.

Though called a side hall, it was extremely luxurious.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Water Fire." Gu Changqing directly exchanged a Mid-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, costing only a million merit points.

"This Heavenly Mystery Shuttle is for you, Junior Brother," Gu Changqing said with a smile. "I'm new to the Intercepting Sect, so please look after me, Junior Brother."

"This…"

Water Fire Child paused slightly, then said, "Senior Brother Changqing, you're too kind. This treasure is too valuable; Water Fire dare not accept it."

Gu Changqing laughed, "It's nothing. While I may not have much else, I do have a few magic treasures."

"Then, thank you very much, Senior Brother Changqing."

Water Fire Child still couldn't resist the temptation of a Mid-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

Gu Changqing was the Master's personal disciple; he shouldn't lack treasures, and he wasn't an outsider.

"That's more like it," Gu Changqing chuckled. "We're all family; being too polite makes us strangers."

"Yes," Water Fire Child said with a fawning smile, "Senior Brother's admonition is correct."

Gu Changqing then asked, "Junior Brother Water Fire, among Master's many disciples, whose cultivation is currently the highest?"

Water Fire Child replied, "Of course, it's Senior Brother Dobao; he's already a Quasi-Sage now."

Quasi-Sage?

Gu Changqing mused: Dobao is already a Quasi-Sage. It seems the Witch Demon Calamity has long passed. Looking at the peaceful atmosphere on Golden Turtle Island, it's clear we haven't entered the Investiture of the Gods Period yet. I just wonder if my cheap Master has signed the Investiture of the Gods List.

Water Fire Child added, "Senior Brother Changqing being able to reside in Biyou Palace shows how much the Master trusts you." Having just received a treasure, a few flattering words cost nothing.

Heh!

Trust? It's house arrest!

If I stay in Biyou Palace all the time, how am I supposed to bring down the Intercepting Sect?

Gu Changqing laughed, "I've just arrived on Golden Turtle Island and have no footing yet. I rely entirely on Master and Junior Brother Water Fire's care."

"Senior Brother Changqing, you're too modest," Water Fire Child said with a smile. "Water Fire has other matters to attend to. If Senior Brother Changqing needs anything, just give the word."

"Junior Brother Water Fire, please feel free."

After Water Fire Child left, Gu Changqing began to comprehend the Primordial Creation Scripture.

With Tong Tian watching him, he couldn't make any small moves. He could only wait for the Investiture of the Gods Calamity and let the Intercepting Sect naturally perish.

Tong Tian, who was observing in secret, was once again taken aback by Gu Changqing.

Just casually tossing out a Mid-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, what a spendthrift!

With so many spiritual treasures and so many pills, this kid can't possibly be a spy sent by the Three Sects.

The reason is simple: the Three Sects aren't that extravagant!

Even if their leader is skilled in alchemy and artifact refining, it's still impossible!

Their leader can't refine the Limitless Creation Pill, much less Merit Treasures, and certainly not more than four of them!

As long as you're not a spy, no matter how extravagant you are, you're still part of my Intercepting Sect!

As for betrayal?

Heh.

They're already so extravagant; what could you possibly use to bribe them?

Even those two bald donkeys from the Western Sect couldn't do it!

For others, you might be able to forcibly convert them!

But Gu Changqing? Don't even think about it.

A pile of Merit Treasures would be enough to blind their dog eyes!

At this moment, in the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The heavenly fate has changed. Which of you will go to the Intercepting Sect to investigate the situation?"

"This disciple has some acquaintance with Senior Brother Dobao. I am willing to go to Golden Turtle Island."

Guangchengzi said at this time.

As the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Guangchengzi was no longer merely a Golden Immortal but a Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Good," Yuanshi said again. "You shall lead the Twelve Golden Immortals to Golden Turtle Island together for a discussion on the Dao."

"Yes."

Although Guangchengzi felt it was a bit of an overreaction, he dared not disobey Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi glanced at Guangchengzi and said no more.

The Intercepting Sect's luck was no longer diminishing. His disciples might not know it, but as a Saint, how could he not?

Something big must be happening with the Intercepting Sect!

In the Eight Scenery Palace, Supreme Lord Laozi also said to Xuandu, "Xuandu, you haven't visited your Uncle Tong Tian in a long time. Go to Golden Turtle Island and pay your respects."

"This disciple accepts the command."

In Mount Sumeru of the Western Sect, Jie Yin likewise said to his disciples, "Amitabha, Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva, Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, you shall lead your disciples on a trip to Golden Turtle Island."

The Intercepting Sect's luck was no longer diminishing; it was subtly showing signs of increasing, and the Three Sects dared not be careless.

Among the Four Sects, the Intercepting Sect was already the strongest. If it continued to grow stronger, the Primordial World would eventually become the Intercepting Sect's Primordial World.

This was something no one wanted to see!

The movements of the Three Sects were within Tong Tian's expectations.

The changes in the Intercepting Sect's luck could be hidden from the common people, but not from the Saints.

Seeing the Intercepting Sect's luck surge, the Saints couldn't pretend not to know and would certainly send disciples to probe.

It looks like Golden Turtle Island is going to be lively for a few days!

Among the second-generation disciples of the Four Sects, the Intercepting Sect could crush any other sect. However, if the Three Sects united, Tong Tian would still have a bit of a headache.

He looked at Gu Changqing again, secretly thinking, Although this kid has reached Great Luo Golden Immortal, he got there by popping pills, so he's still a combat weakling. But…

Thinking of Gu Changqing's numerous treasures, he suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

Even if he can't beat Xuandu, fighting the Twelve Golden Immortals should be no problem, right?

In terms of offense and defense, Merit Treasures can't compare to Innate Supreme Treasures, but they can easily overpower any treasure below that level.

There are only a few Innate Supreme Treasures in the Primordial World, and they are all in the hands of the Saints, suppressing the luck of their respective sects. They wouldn't just let their disciples play around with them.

Tong Tian flashed into Gu Changqing's side hall and said, "The second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, Human Sect, and Western Sect are coming to Golden Turtle Island. There might be a discussion on the Dao. Do you want to participate?"

A discussion on the Dao?

Gu Changqing was slightly stunned and eagerly said, "Of course, it is my honor to relieve my master's worries."

Someone was coming to cause trouble; this was a good opportunity to strike at the Intercepting Sect's luck. How could he miss it?

"Good. If you win, I will certainly… personally preach to you!"

Tong Tian ultimately didn't say anything about a heavy reward. Faced with the outrageously extravagant Gu Changqing, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Perhaps only the Four Swords of Zhuxian would be of any use in this guy's eyes.

Tong Tian felt bitter.

So poor!
