How Could He Swallow This?

Where Qiu Shou Xian could not see.

His eyes began to turn from their original black to gold, then gradually shifted to red.

A closer look would even reveal intricate patterns within them.

Qiu Shou Xian gently exhaled a breath of stale air, his gaze growing colder.

His strength had now made a tremendous breakthrough.

From Early Taiyi Golden Immortal, he had leaped straight to the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Had he not deliberately suppressed himself, he could probably have attempted to break through to Daluo Golden Immortal.

When he opened his eyes again, only astonishment remained in Qiu Shou Xian's gaze.

This opportunity had actually been arranged by Senior Brother.

What Qiu Shou Xian had never expected was that Senior Brother possessed so many methods, even opening up a small world for him to cultivate and make his breakthrough.

If that was the case, just what level had Senior Brother reached?

The peak of Quasi-Sage?

Qiu Shou Xian hardly dared to imagine it.

Meanwhile, on Golden Ao Island.

Lu Feng finally heard the familiar system notification he had been waiting for.

[Congratulations, host. The disciple you are training has reached eighty percent comprehension. You are rewarded with 200,000 years of cultivation and one Chaos Law!]

[Congratulations, host. You have now completed the named disciple training plan and will receive a surprise gift package. Would you like to open it?]

Lu Feng had been eagerly awaiting this surprise gift package, so naturally, he chose to open it without hesitation.

Accompanied by a burst of firework effects, the system notification sounded again.

[Congratulations, host. You have received one opportunity to spy on Zixiao Palace!]

Lu Feng froze for a moment.

He had not expected this to be the surprise the system gave him.

Zixiao Palace was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's cultivation grounds.

Never mind him-even his own teacher, Tongtian, had no way to spy on what happened inside Zixiao Palace.

Yet now, the system had given him a chance.

Come to think of it, this really was what he needed most right now.

No one knew how things stood inside Zixiao Palace.

Even when the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation would begin remained uncertain.

Everything depended entirely on the wishes of the one in Zixiao Palace.

Most importantly, Lu Feng did not know whether those four shameless Saints had forced Tongtian to sign that Investiture of the Gods List.

"Can I use it now?"

[Of course!]

"If I spy on Zixiao Palace, will I be discovered?"

[With the system concealing you, no one will detect this surveillance. Heavenly secrets will also be obscured.]

Hearing this, Lu Feng was even more satisfied.

As long as he would not be discovered.

For now, he still needed to lie low.

Drawing the attention of that Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace too early would do him no good whatsoever.

[Please wait a moment, host. Surveillance of Zixiao Palace will begin shortly!]

As the system's voice faded, a mirror soon appeared before him.

The image in the mirror was initially very blurry, but as the ripples gradually dispersed, it grew increasingly clear.

Lu Feng took a careful look and realized that the image showed the Dao Ancestor's residence.

Zixiao Palace!

With a shift of Lu Feng's thoughts, the view quickly began drawing closer.

Lu Feng went all the way inside Zixiao Palace.

Before long, he found the Dao Ancestor.

But the two magical treasures Hongjun held surprised Lu Feng somewhat.

"The Investiture of the Gods List."

"The God-Beating Whip!"

Once these two treasures emerged, the Primordial World would enter the tribulation in earnest.

Inside Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at the two young attendants under his tutelage.

"The winds and clouds are changing color. I fear the heavens of the Primordial World are about to descend into turmoil."

"From today onward, you two must cultivate diligently within this temple."

At Zhen Yuanzi's words, confusion flickered in Qingfeng and Mingyue's eyes.

"Teacher, haven't we always cultivated within the temple?"

Why did he need to remind them specifically?

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head helplessly.

It was not that he wanted to make a point of reminding them.

Rather, even Wuzhuang Temple might not be safe.

"The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is approaching."

"This great tribulation will sweep across the entire Primordial World."

"You two must keep your heads down."

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged a glance before asking.

"Not even you can protect us, Teacher?"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head.

"If there were no unforeseen variables, the three of us, master and disciples, would naturally remain safe."

"But now that an unforeseen variable has appeared in the Primordial World, nothing is certain anymore."

"This Investiture of the Gods Tribulation may unfold far beyond anyone's expectations!"

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Qingfeng and Mingyue both sucked in a sharp breath.

Throughout the Primordial World.

Countless mighty cultivators, just like Zhen Yuanzi, entered seclusion to wait out their days.

Over the countless millions of years the Primordial World had endured, every tribulation had swept up immeasurable numbers of living beings.

With another tribulation approaching, everyone concealed their auras, seeking fortune and avoiding calamity.

On Golden Ao Island.

Lu Feng quietly watched the scene inside Zixiao Palace.

The appearance of the Investiture of the Gods List and the God-Beating Whip meant that this discussion was drawing to a close.

If his guess was correct, Hongjun would help the Four Saints force Tongtian to sign the Investiture of the Gods List this time.

In that case, the Interception Sect's fate would be pushed straight toward its end!

But what Lu Feng could not be certain of now was this.

He had already disbanded the Interception Sect.

If the Investiture of the Gods List really had to be signed, would another unforeseen change arise?

Still, Lu Feng was in no hurry. He simply had to keep watching.

At that moment, the six people inside Zixiao Palace were still discussing the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

But with Hongjun's interference, this discussion was destined to place the burden upon the Interception Sect.

Among the six Saints, there were currently only four teachings.

Nuwa and Laozi were excluded from consideration.

That left only the Interception Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Western Teachings.

Tongtian still cherished his bond with his elder brother, so he wanted to ally with the Chan Sect and force the Western Teachings to face this great tribulation.

That way, the Mystic Gate could also extricate itself from this calamity.

Yet when Tongtian looked toward Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi merely gave a cold snort.

Rather than see the two Mystic Gate sects join forces, he would much prefer the Interception Sect to face this tribulation!

The moment he remembered that the Interception Sect's people had even destroyed his Jade Void Palace, how could Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi still care about the Mystic Gate?

Besides, how could the Western Teachings compare to their orthodox Mystic Gate lineage?

By contrast, the Interception Sect posed a greater threat to the Chan Sect.

If the Interception Sect faced the tribulation this time, the Chan Sect would then stand alone as the dominant orthodox lineage of the Mystic Gate.

Whether for public interests or private grievances, the Interception Sect ought to be made to bear the brunt!

The Two Sages of the West had always been fond of reading expressions and gauging moods.

Noticing the unusual atmosphere between Tongtian and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, they exchanged a glance before speaking with broad smiles.

"What views do you all have on this great tribulation?"

Despite those words, the Two from the West were looking toward Tongtian.

Tongtian had never been particularly good-tempered.

How could he swallow such blatant targeting?
