Has Xiao Tian lost his mind?
The Three Pure Ones were taken aback, Zhunti was overjoyed.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared at Xiao Tian, trying to see through Xiao Tian's inner thoughts, but he couldn't see through them no matter what he did.
Why?
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "I, Xiao, believe that my talent and background are inferior to those of fellow Daoists Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian. How could I possibly be worthy of being their Grandmaster?"
Three Pure Ones couldn't help but glance at Xiao Tian, thinking to himself that Xiao Tian at least had some self-awareness.
Hongjun wanted to laugh inwardly, but said expressionlessly, "You were formed from the essence of Pangu's spine, a primordial deity with profound blessings and great merit. In that case, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, Nüwa, and the others suddenly realized why Xiao Tian was so powerful; his origins were truly extraordinary.
The Three Pure Ones Ones' goodwill towards Xiao Tian increased significantly, after all, they were all of the rightful lineage of Pangu.
"Teacher." Xiao Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of death, after all, he could resurrect infinitely, it would still be painful to be the first to stick his neck out and be sealed away.
Now that we've partnered with the Three Pure Ones, the future looks promising.
Zhunti was a little depressed. He hadn't expected Xiao Tian to have such an extraordinary background. When he saw the Three Pure Ones greeting Xiao Tian, he felt a pang of bitterness. His life in the West was truly miserable.
"There are three ways to achieve sainthood! The first is to Attaining the Dao through Strength..."
" Sage are immortal and indestructible; their true spirits reside within the River of Fate..."
The Dao Ancestor expounded on the Sage of the Sage and the Way to Become a Sage. Nüwa and Fuxi were as if they were in a wondrous realm. The more they listened, the more astonished they became, discovering that these teachings were exactly the same as what Xiao Tian had said back then.
In addition to explaining the path to sainthood, Dao Ancestor Hongjun also spoke of the Three Thousand Great Dao and supernatural powers.
This time, Xiao Tian was still very embarrassed. He was completely confused by what they meant by the Three Thousand Great Dao.
Hongjun naturally noticed Xiao Tian. Like the Three Pure Ones, whose origins were extraordinary, Xiao Tian, in his state of enlightenment, possessed a pure and mysterious aura, revealing the essence of creation and the Dao. However, Xiao Tian had none of this. Hongjun was puzzled as to why, despite being a primordial deity formed from the essence of Pangu's spine, his talent seemed somewhat problematic.
If it weren't for Xiao Tian's own cultivation level, which Hongjun had noticed, Hongjun would have wanted to study Xiao Tian more thoroughly.
"This kid's faking it," Hongjun thought to himself.
Time passed, Hongjun's sermon came to an end.
"The path to sainthood is arduous, and the number of sainthoods is limited. One more thing is needed to achieve sainthood."
" Primordial Purple Qi!"
Kunpeng, Minghe, Dijun, Eastern Emperor, and others watched as the Dao Ancestor sent the Primordial Purple Qi—the key to sainthood— Jieyin the Three Pure Ones, Xiao Tian, Zhunti, Nüwa, Nuwa, and Hongyun, and their eyes Primordial Purple Qi red.
"May I ask, Ancestor, how many ranks are there among the Sage?" Kunpeng inquired.
Hongjun said expressionlessly, "Ten Venerables, but nine is the ultimate number. If one is removed, even I do not know where the remaining two strands of Primordial Purple Qi are."
Kunpeng and other powerful beings from the Primordial were shocked. If that's the case, then including Dao Ancestor Hongjun's seven disciples and Hongyun, there are already eight Sage, leaving only one.
" Hongyun!" A wicked thought suddenly arose in Kunpeng.
The other eight were all disciples of the Dao Ancestor, but Hongyun was not!
Kunpeng recalled the grudges between himself and Hongyun, and clenched his fists tightly under the black cloak.
Xiao Tian was fully aware of the situation around him and sighed inwardly that the Witch-Demon Calamity was about to begin. Hongjun's move was intended to end Hongyun's life.
"My arrival has brought many variables. I wonder if the script will become absurd from here on out?" Xiao Tian was a little panicked. His transmigration cheat ability might be going to become useless.
"Teacher, does possessing the Primordial Purple Qi necessarily lead to sainthood?" Yuanshi asked.
"Naturally, it's just a matter of time," Hongjun said expressionlessly. "However, if someone is killed before achieving sainthood while refining the Primordial Purple Qi, the Primordial Purple Qi will dissipate."
Xiao Tian smiled inwardly, seeing that a causal link had appeared between Yuanshi and Hongyun.
Yuanshi's question and Hongjun's answer clearly fueled the unscrupulous thoughts of Kunpeng and some of the Purple Cloud Palace's retainers.
Zhenyuanzi frowned, thinking of his old friend Hongyun, and sighed inwardly.
Should he help?
Dao Ancestor Hongjun surveyed the Human Path, "This is my last sermon. Behind me at the Treasure Distribution Rock, there are some spiritual treasures that I no longer need. You may go and take them. Afterwards, I will merge with the Dao and cease to Primordial."
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Dao Ancestor (Teacher)!"
"Kill!" Xiao Tian shouted, rushing straight to the Treasure Distribution Rock at top speed. He unleashed his Kamui, sweeping away a multitude of spiritual treasures without a care for what they were.
The Three Pure Ones are also progressing at a fast pace.
Zhunti vomit blood. He had his eye on several items, but Xiao Tian had snatched them all away.
Having reaped the first wave of spoils, Xiao Tian, with his arrogant movements, found his little brother Xiao Li and waited for him somewhere in the Purple Cloud Palace.
Before long, not a single magical treasure remained on the Treasure Distribution Rock; it had all been looted, utterly ravaged by wolves and tigers, leaving it completely clean.
"What a bunch of clueless fools! This Treasure Distribution Rock is a valuable item; we could reforge it into bricks and use them to smash people later."
Xiao Tian Xiao and took the Treasure Distribution Rock away.
The disciples of the Purple Cloud Palace left Purple Cloud Palace together. The Three Pure Ones were one, and even though they possessed the Primordial Purple Qi, the opportunity to become a saint that others coveted, their strength made them untouchable.
The Three Pure Ones waited at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace for Xiao Tian to emerge.
Laozi said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, we are all true descendants of Pangu, let us travel together."
"Good."
Xiao Tian and his companions, along with Xiao Li, ventured into the Chaos, where no disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace dared to provoke them.
" Nüwa, Fuxi, shall we find a place to discuss the Dao?"
Xiao Tian discovered that several groups of daring retainers of the Purple Cloud Palace were planning to ambush Nüwa and Fuxi.
Nüwa and Fuxi were secretly delighted and hurried over to join them.
The powerful figures from the Primordial who were secretly lying in ambush breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they didn't really want to ambush the Dao Ancestor's disciple, but the opportunity to become a saint was too tempting.
Returning to the Primordial, Nüwa and Fuxi bid farewell and departed, while Xiao Tian and Xiao Li were invited by the Three Pure Ones to be their guests.
After a thousand years of visiting Kunlun, Xiao Tian and Xiao Li left with a fortune.
Xiao Tian currently possesses two strands of Primordial Purple Qi, enough to create two Sage.
He did not intend to refine the Primordial Purple Qi. Although refining the Primordial Purple Qi would accelerate his progress to becoming Sage, he knew that his true level was probably not even that of Golden Immortal, and he only had Quasi-Sage Experience Card.
"Little brother, do you want to become a saint?" Xiao Tian stared at Xiao Li, who was acting as a surveillance device for the Deva Path.
"Brother, I think that since Sage are immortal, I want to be immortal with you."
"Alright." Xiao Tian gave the Primordial Purple Qi to Xiao Li.
The naive Xiao Li was immediately stunned.
"Brother, this was given to you by the Dao Ancestor. I don't want it. How will you become a saint if I take it?"
"Little brother, you're really stupid! Who said you can't become a saint without Primordial Purple Qi? I don't believe in that nonsense! I'm going to Attaining the Dao through Strength. You keep this Primordial Purple Qi and refine it. If you dare to refuse, I'll throw you into the pigsty."
Xiao Li's scalp tingled with fear. He recalled how a Taiyi Golden Immortal had offended Xiao Tian years ago. Xiao Tian had grabbed him by the head, sealed his magical power and immortal body, and thrown him into Heaven-Shaking Bloodthirsty Luo Beast with the bloodline of ancient Ferocious Beast beasts. In that Inside the Circle, the Taiyi Golden Immortal's fate was extremely miserable; he could forget about having a peaceful life for the rest of his days.
"I'll take it, I'll take it, okay?" Xiao Li's eyes were watery as he absorbed the Primordial Purple Qi with tears in his eyes.
"Ding! Monitoring of this area by the Deva Path has been detected!"
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly and quickly switched into "actor mode."
In a Void and ethereal place in the Primordial, a forbidden area of Land of the Great Ruins.
The Deva Path dwells here.
"This Xiao Tian certainly has guts, Attaining the Dao through Strength. Do you think it's easy? Even Pangu, who created the world, failed back then, because that was not tolerated by the Great Dao."
"You think you can escape my control, you puppet Hongjun?"
A hazy halo of light murmured.
In the Primordial, Xiao Tian and Xiao Li unknowingly arrived at the Jiufeng Tribe.
The members of the Jiufeng Tribe of the Witch Clan were very familiar with Xiao Tian and Xiao Li. Upon seeing the two, their expressions changed drastically, and they turned and ran away.
"Oh no! The Heaven-Equalling Evil Demon and the Evil Child are here!"
Xiao Tian couldn't help but touch his nose and scoff, "What the hell! I'm clearly the Great Sage Dao Lord Equal to Heaven, okay? What kind of demon is this? Is there any demon as handsome as me?"
"Little brother, look how hospitable the people of the Jiufeng Tribe are." Xiao Tian patted Xiao Li's head.
Xiao Li continued to hold the figurine, a look of disdain in his eyes.
" Xiao Tian! You dare to come to my tribe!"
A voice, like a delicate, angry cry, boomed in accompaniment to rolling thunder.
In the distance, thunder roared across the sky, and the once clear sky was suddenly filled with rolling dark clouds, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
A bolt of lightning struck in an instant, stopping a thousand meters away from Xiao Tian and Xiao Li. The lightning scattered, revealing a woman with Chi Lei wings, three thousand strands of black hair shrouded in lightning raindrops, an exquisitely beautiful Demon Charm face, a fiery figure, and in the battle stance of Great Witch.
Great Witch Jiufeng! Chieftain of the Jiufeng Tribe.
She is also the Qiangliang sister of Qiangliang, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan. Each of the Ancestral Witch is Miaomei -Quasi-Sage, and as Great Witch, Jiufeng has extremely strong combat power, comparable to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Jiufeng's beautiful eyes flickered with Lightning Fire; upon seeing Xiao Tian again, she wished she could tear Xiao Tian apart.
If it weren't for the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, she would have already made her move.
" Xiao Tian! What are you doing here in my tribe again!" Behind Jiufeng, a large number of powerful members of the tribe's Witch Clan rushed over, and the tribe's elders quickly sought help from the Ancestral Witch Qiangliang.
"Sis, don't get excited, I'm here to take responsibility," Xiao Tian said shyly.
"Take responsibility?" Jiufeng asked in astonishment.
"Brother, we're running out of clay," Xiao Li muttered.
Jiufeng immediately understood Xiao Tian's wicked plan. With a wave of her hand, thunder and rain gathered, and tens of thousands of Nine Heavens Divine Lightning bolts, enough to instantly kill Golden Immortal or severely injure an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal, locked onto Xiao Tian and Xiao Li.
"Go to hell!"
Jiufeng was furious when she thought about how Xiao Tian had secretly broken into her residence, stolen her last bit of Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and then fought with her, only to have his armor torn by the aftershocks.
Xiao Tian summoned the Adamantine Staff, whose mysterious Adamantine Staff erupted, transforming into a barrier that blocked the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. Moreover, the barrier absorbed the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
" Heaven-Equalling Evil Demon! Don't be so arrogant! Our Ancestral Witch Lord will be here soon!" roared a powerful Witch Clan from the Jiufeng Tribe.
Xiao Tian his eyes. So what if the Ancestral Witch Qiangliang came? He still got a beating last time.
" Jiufeng, I know you have some Immortal Soil of Creation here that rivals the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil. Could you have some?"
"Dream on!" Jiufeng's beautiful eyes turned icy cold as she unleashed two bolts of Lightning Fire and fire.
