In Today's Primordial World, No One Can Escape
"How are you? Can you walk?" The Bodhisattva turned to look at the young man lying on the ground and asked with concern.
The young man glanced at the Bodhisattva and said, "Thank you so much, Master, for saving my life. I have no way to repay your great kindness. I will do my best to repay you in the future."
"Your life is your own, and this humble monk will not interfere, as long as you do not do anything that harms the world. This humble monk knows that with your talent, once you have achieved mastery in your cultivation, you will definitely be more powerful than this humble monk. However, this humble monk does not want to see you perish now, so please do not act rashly in such dangerous situations in the future. Your character is not suited for such things, and this humble monk hopes that you can reflect on this. Your injuries are very serious; this humble monk will take you back to your cave abode first!"
Upon hearing the Bodhisattva's words, the young man was secretly delighted, but dared not show it on his face, and quickly said, "Thank you, Bodhisattva, thank you, Bodhisattva."
After speaking, the young man, supported by the Bodhisattva, entered a secluded cave abode.
"Master, you've finally emerged from seclusion." The Little Novice Monk guarding the entrance hurriedly greeted him as he saw the young man walk out of the cave abode.
The Cult Master Tongtian glanced at the Little Novice Monk, nodded slightly, and then said, "Little Novice Monk, you've had a hard time these past few days. My current strength is not enough to manage this place. You should go down the mountain first; you don't need to come back for me."
The Little Novice Monk noticed that the aura emanating from the Cult Master Tongtian was significantly weaker than before, and knew that he was injured. So he nodded and said, "Yes, Master, your grand-disciple will go down the mountain now."
After saying this, the Little Novice Monk turned and left, and soon Little Novice Monk was gone.
"Little Novice Monk, you Laozi, stop right there!" The moment the Little Novice Monk left, the Cult Master Tongtian roared.
"Ah!"
The Little Novice Monk stopped abruptly in his tracks upon hearing the Cult Master Tongtian's angry rebuke.
"Master, I was wrong, please punish me!" The Little Novice Monk immediately knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.
"Where did you go wrong?" Cult Master Tongtian asked coldly as he saw the Little Novice Monk kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
"Disciple..." The Little Novice Monk was taken aback.
The Cult Master Tongtian exclaimed, "You scoundrel! You actually threw away one of my golden beads! You worthless thing, do you know how important this golden bead is to me? I spent Niu Er to refine it, and you just threw it away! You scoundrel, I really wish I could tear your tendons out and skin you alive!"
"Ah!"
The Little Novice Monk trembled upon hearing the Cult Master Tongtian's angry rebuke.
The Cult Master Tongtian said, "Laozi 'll beat you up right now, so get your ass over here!"
"Yes, Master." Upon hearing this, the Little Novice Monk dared not hesitate for a moment, and immediately stood up from the ground and approached the Cult Master Tongtian.
"Smack!"
The Cult Master Tongtian looked at the Little Novice Monk kneeling before him, raised his hand and slapped him across the face. The Little Novice Monk's head immediately swelled up, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The Little Novice Monk's cheek stung from the slap, but Little Novice Monk didn't dare utter a sound, kneeling before the Cult Master Tongtian with his head bowed.
"You bastard, how dare you throw away Laozi golden pearl! You deserve to die!" The Cult Master Tongtian glared at the Laozi Little Novice Monk and sneered, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today, otherwise, who knows how much trouble you'll cause in the future, you scoundrel!"
"Yes, Master, your disciple is willing to accept punishment." The Little Novice Monk lowered his head, looking obedient and remorseful.
The Cult Master Tongtian glanced at the Little Novice Monk and said, "You better raise Laozi head."
"Oh!"
The Little Novice Monk responded and slowly raised his head, but instead of looking at the face of the Cult Master Tongtian, he looked at the golden bead on the Cult Master Tongtian's chest.
Seeing the Little Novice Monk's actions, the Cult Master Tongtian raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you lost enough already? Quickly stretch out your hand, I need to take this bead out for you and then help you heal your wounds."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the instructions of the Cult Master Tongtian, the Little Novice Monk immediately complied.
Seeing this, the Cult Master Tongtian stretched out his right hand, grabbed the Little Novice Monk's left hand, and then put his right hand inside the Little Novice Monk's clothes.
Just as the Cult Master Tongtian pulled the Little Novice Monk out of his left chest, he suddenly discovered that his left hand was covered in blood.
Upon seeing the blood, the Cult Master Tongtian's eyes glazed over for a moment, but he quickly recovered and looked at the Little Novice Monk Cult Master Tongtian monk with murderous intent in his eyes.
Seeing the look in the eyes of the Cult Master Tongtian, the Little Novice Monk was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed and said, "Master, I was wrong, please forgive me."
"Senior brother, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Master?" Li Yuanba shouted at the Little Novice Monk.
"Yes, yes!"
The Little Novice Monk quickly got up, knelt before the Cult Master Tongtian, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, the Cult Master Tongtian slapped the Little Novice Monk on the head. The Little Novice Monk's head immediately looked as if it had been broken open, and blood splattered everywhere. The Little Novice Monk's entire face was covered in blood, making him look extremely terrifying.
"You good-for-nothing! Laozi told you long ago to focus on cultivation and not to indulge in pleasure and lust for women. Now look what's happened! Instead of cultivating, your cultivation level has not only failed to improve but has actually regressed. How could Laozi have taken on a disciple like you? Laozi 're infuriating!"
The Cult Master Tongtian glared angrily at the Little Novice Monk and roared.
The Little Novice Monk, upon hearing the reprimand from the Cult Master Tongtian, dared not utter a single word. He silently endured it, fearing that his words might anger the Cult Master Tongtian and cost him his life. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly, lest he lose his life in the slightest.
After reprimanding him, the Cult Master Tongtian's frustration lessened slightly. He said, "Fine, since you know you were wrong, Laozi won't blame you. Laozi 'll give you one chance. From now on, you'll have to pay Laozi three hundred gold beads every month as an offering, otherwise, Laozi 'll cripple you."
"Yes, disciple understands," the Little Novice Monk replied respectfully.
"Get out of here!" The Cult Master Tongtian waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Master, for sparing my life!" Upon hearing the words of the Cult Master Tongtian, the Little Novice Monk quickly scrambled to his feet and ran away as fast as he could.
The Cult Master Tongtian watched the Little Novice Monk's departing figure, shook his head, and said, "Alas! This fellow was also a formidable figure, yet I ruined him. Poor child, you'll have to walk your own path from now on."
After the Little Novice Monk left, the Cult Master Tongtian turned his gaze to Green Yang Island.
Green Yang Island, Green Yang City, the residence of the Cult Master Tongtian.
At this moment, the Cult Master Tongtian was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, resting, and occasionally one could hear him snoring.
"Master, you're awake! Time to eat!" a disciple's voice rang out from outside.
The Cult Master Tongtian opened his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
