All Saints Were Shocked

Shi Ji did not return to Chaoge. Instead, she summoned the Primordial Chaos World Piercing Shuttle and returned to Golden Turtle Island.

Only Master could save Junior Brother now!

"Master, to save me, Junior Brother lured Martial Uncle Yuanshi into the chaos."

"What?" Tong Tian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "You..."

Tong Tian wanted to say, Why didn't you just die? But in the end, he did not say it.

"This disciple has sinned!"

Tears filled Shi Ji's eyes.

"I'll deal with you when I return!"

Following the Sword Talisman, Tong Tian hurried over.

When he arrived in the chaos, his jaw nearly dropped.

"This..."

Tong Tian could not close his mouth for a long while.

Gu Changqing and Yuanshi Tianzun had each brought out an Innate Supreme Treasure. They fought back and forth, evenly matched.

The destructive power of the God Slaying Spear and Gu Changqing's Power of Creation—two utterly different forces—had somehow fused perfectly.

The fused power could actually contend with Yuanshi's power of chaos.

Power of Creation?

Could the old acquaintance Nüwa mentioned be this kid?

This kid had proven the Dao of Mixed Origin!

He had hidden himself well!

No wonder even his disciples were Quasi-Sages. How exactly had this whole family cultivated?

Tong Tian was so stunned that he forgot to help.

"Master, since you're here, lend a hand!"

Seeing Tong Tian arrive, Gu Changqing hurriedly called out.

Upon seeing Tong Tian, Yuanshi also withdrew his divine abilities.

He could not even defeat Gu Changqing alone. With Tong Tian added to the mix, he would only be beaten senseless.

Yuanshi feinted and fled into the distance.

Gu Changqing's strength had far exceeded his expectations. He had never imagined that he, an established Saint, would be unable to suppress Gu Changqing, who had only recently proven the Dao of Mixed Origin.

This kid had hidden himself far too well!

Watching Yuanshi leave, Tong Tian did not pursue him. Instead, he stared at Gu Changqing with a bewildered expression.

"You... you've proven the Dao of Mixed Origin?"

"Yeah?" Gu Changqing replied. "What's so strange about that? If I hadn't proven the Dao of Mixed Origin, how would I dare contend with Second Martial Uncle?"

Heh heh!

What was so strange about it?

Tong Tian really wanted to hang Gu Changqing up and beat him!

Did this brat know how many epochs I cultivated for before becoming a Saint?

And this brat proved the Dao of Mixed Origin after cultivating for barely a dozen years?

Did I cultivate some fake immortality?

"Did you send Nüwa into the chaos to help me?"

"Yeah?" Gu Changqing asked strangely. "Master was in trouble, so this disciple found help for Master. What's wrong with that?"

Heh heh!

Tong Tian could only smile bitterly. His bargain-bin disciple had proven the Dao, yet he had not even known!

No wonder this kid dared establish a Human Emperor.

Having proven the Dao of Mixed Origin, he could do whatever the hell he wanted!

Old acquaintance, Gu acquaintance... heh heh...

Gu Changqing's Creation Dao surpassed even Nüwa's. The reason Nüwa had advanced so rapidly was likely because this kid had guided her.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Gu Changqing put away the God Slaying Spear. Seeing Tong Tian acting with not a trace of dignity, he found it quite strange.

"N-Nothing, hahahaha..."

Tong Tian's hearty laughter seemed ready to pierce through the chaos.

With two Saints in one sect, it would be impossible for the Intercepting Sect not to soar!

So what if they established a Human Emperor and made enemies of the entire world?

At that moment, Tong Tian did not take the Saints seriously at all.

He alone could fight four of them. Gu Changqing would not even get a chance to fight.

Since Nüwa had gone into the chaos to save them, she clearly would not become an enemy of the Intercepting Sect.

No matter how the mortal world was thrown into turmoil, she remained the Human Ancestor. No one could touch her interests.

"Hahaha..."

He'd gone mad!

This guy had definitely gone mad!

Facing Tong Tian's endless laughter, Gu Changqing inwardly scorned him.

Thinking that he not only had a disciple who was a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal, but would also have a Human Emperor grand-disciple, Tong Tian simply could not stop laughing.

Gu Changqing said helplessly, "Master, that's enough."

"You're a Saint, after all."

"Could you show a little restraint?"

Tong Tian: I can't restrain myself!

This was too surprising, too unexpected!

After being mocked by his disciple, Tong Tian finally composed himself and asked, "Changqing, what do you plan to do next?"

Gu Changqing replied, "The Investiture of the Gods must continue. Disciples of the Three Sects who should go on the list will go on the list. That includes those Intercepting Sect disciples who cannot attain proper fruition. Send them to the Investiture of the Gods List as well."

"Doesn't Haotian God cry every day about having no one? Naturally, we should grant his wish."

"Not only will I give him a great number of Earth Immortals, I'll package up all the Saints and send them to him too."

"The Primordial World is too crowded. Having Great Shang and the Intercepting Sect is enough."

Hearing Gu Changqing's wonderful vision, Tong Tian would have slapped him without hesitation in the past.

He was being way too damn arrogant!

But things were different now!

Gu Changqing had already proven the Dao of Mixed Origin.

And they had Nüwa as an ally. Failure would be difficult even if they tried.

Three against four—there was no pressure at all.

As for the Quasi-Saint level, the Human Sect only had Xuandu, the Chan Sect had only Ran Deng, and although the Western Sect had several Buddhas...

They were nothing to worry about!

The Intercepting Sect had Dobao and Zhao Gongming. Di Xin also had a Quasi-Saint Queen—no, she should be called Empress now. Fei Lian and E Lai were both first-rate demon Saints.

Below the Quasi-Saint level, there was even less to say. The Intercepting Sect's myriad immortals coming to pay homage was no boast.

From every angle, the Intercepting Sect held an absolute advantage.

"Good, go for it."

"I support you!"

Tong Tian truly could not find a reason not to support him.

Seeing that Tong Tian did not question him at all, Gu Changqing asked curiously, "Master, aren't you curious how I proved the Dao? Aren't you suspicious of the God Slaying Spear in my hand?"

Tong Tian smiled. "This is your fortunate opportunity. I will only be happy for you, never curious. What's wrong with the God Slaying Spear? Even the Four Swords of Zhuxian were Luo Hou's natal spiritual treasures!"

"Thank you, Master."

Only at that moment did Gu Changqing truly gain respect for Tong Tian.

No matter the time or place, trust was always the most precious emotion.

Gu Changqing continued, "This disciple is not very familiar with the Intercepting Sect disciples. I'll have to trouble Master to return and compile a list, preparing those disciples lacking in virtue to meet the tribulation."

"Regardless of cultivation, judge only by karmic burden."

"Alright."

Tong Tian nodded. The last time Gu Changqing had said this, he had not taken it seriously.

But this time was different.

The Primordial World was about to change.

The Human Race would truly become the protagonists of heaven and earth.

The Human Race had its own Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal and its own Human Emperor.

All standards of judgment would have to be based on the Human Race.

Otherwise, Gu Changqing would not agree.

Although a great many disciples would be placed on the list, from then on, there would be only one immortal sect in the mortal world.

The Intercepting Sect!

Such a sacrifice was worthwhile and necessary.

Tong Tian returned to Golden Turtle Island, while Gu Changqing returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Yuanshi Tianzun, however, did not return to Jade Void Palace. Instead, he went to Eight Scenery Palace on Shouyang Mountain.

"What?"

"You said Gu Changqing has proven the Dao as a Mixed Origin Golden Immortal?"

Laozi, who had always been tranquil and detached, was greatly shocked upon hearing that Gu Changqing had proven the Dao of Mixed Origin.

Yuanshi replied, "Not only has he proven the Dao of Mixed Origin, his strength is no weaker than mine."

"This..."

Laozi was even more shaken.

Yuanshi continued, "More importantly, the God Slaying Spear is in that kid's hands."

"What!"

Shock came wave after wave.

After Laozi calmed himself, Yuanshi asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do?"

Laozi's face showed difficulty upon hearing this.

If Gu Changqing had merely established a Human Emperor and taken a share of his interests, he could tolerate it. Once the great tribulation passed and Hongjun emerged from seclusion, there would naturally be a ruling.

But Gu Changqing wielded the God Slaying Spear, which changed everything.

The God Slaying Spear was Luo Hou's symbol.

Those of the demonic path were enemies of the entire Profound Sect.

Laozi frowned. "Does Junior Brother Tong Tian know about this?"

Yuanshi replied, "Junior Brother Tong Tian has fallen too deeply into demonhood. Though he clearly knows Gu Changqing's identity is suspicious, he pretends not to know. It is truly hateful."

"Junior Brother, calm yourself." Laozi then said to Xuandu, "Go invite the Two Sages of the West and Nüwa. Tell them there is an important matter to discuss."

"Yes."

Xuandu accepted the order and departed.
