Mending the Dao Heart

"But I have one last thing to tell you: you must learn to unite. If any outsiders bully your fellow disciples, stick together for warmth. If there are enemies you cannot defeat, come to me. Even if the Jie Sect is disbanded, I, the Cult Master Tongtian, will still be your master, your sect leader, and your safe haven."

"I, the Cult Master Tongtian, will definitely stand on your side and uphold justice for you."

While trying to calm himself down, the Cult Master Tongtian addressed the disciples of the Jie Sect.

"I will never forget the great kindness and virtue shown to me by the sect leader. If the sect leader ever needs me in the future, I will obey your summons without hesitation, even at the cost of my life."

At this moment, a disciple of the Jie Sect suddenly knelt down and spoke to the Cult Master Tongtian.

"I will forever remember the Sect Leader's kindness. If the Sect Leader ever needs anything in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

The remaining disciples of the Jie Sect then knelt down and kowtowed to Cult Master Tongtian in gratitude.

"Go, all of you go. Those who want to continue cultivating, follow Jieyin and Zhunti. Those who don't want to cultivate, find a secluded place and live a peaceful life."

The Cult Master Tongtian seemed unwilling to see this scene, and turned his back to them, waving as he spoke.

"Those disciples of the Jie Sect who wish to continue cultivating, please register with me and Daoist Zhunti now. Afterwards, you will enter our celestial treasure cave, and we will take you to the Western Sect."

The Daoist Jieyin then addressed the disciples of the Jie Sect.

However, the disciples of the Jie Sect seemed not to hear him at all; not one of them made a move, and not one of them answered his question.

Daoist Jieyin activated his Law Power and shouted it out again.

However, all the disciples of the Jie Sect stood still, staring intently at the figure of the Cult Master Tongtian, as if they wanted to firmly etch the image of this person who did not care about their status at all, who led them to cultivate the Tao, and who bestowed great kindness upon them, into their memories.

Didn't you all hear what the Daoist Jieyin said?

"If you want to continue your cultivation, go with him. What are you doing here watching me?"

"I am Sage, I won't die, and it's not like we'll never see each other again. Perhaps I'll go to the Western Sect to preach someday."

Seemingly noticing that the disciples of the Jie Sect were not making any move, the Cult Master Tongtian spoke again.

Please take good care of yourself, Master.

The group bowed to the Cult Master Tongtian again, and then walked toward the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti.

It seems that because of Cult Master Tongtian's words that he would go to the Cult Master Tongtian Western Sect to preach in the future, they chose to join the Western Sect to continue their cultivation.

"Thank you for your kindness, Cult Master Tongtian. We two will certainly spare no effort in teaching these disciples of the Jie Sect."

Seeing that almost all the disciples of the Jie Sect were rushing towards them, they bowed to Cult Master Tongtian to express their gratitude.

Before entering the cave treasures of the Daoist Jieyin or the Daoist Zhunti, these disciples of the Jie Sect would stop and kneel down to kowtow to the Cult Master Tongtian again to express their heartfelt gratitude.

The Cult Master Tongtian looked at them like this, his eyes filled with reluctance and loneliness.

The Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti were also very pragmatic. They did not urge them to hurry up and enter their own cave treasures, but waited for them to finish everything before entering themselves.

At this speed, it took about half an hour to collect all the disciples of the Jie Sect into the two men's magical cave.

"We are deeply grateful to the Cult Master Tongtian for his generosity today; we will forever remember this kindness."

After taking all the disciples of the Jie Sect into their cave for protection, the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti went to the Cult Master Tongtian and bowed to him to express their gratitude.

"I implore you two to treat them kindly. If I were to find out that they are suffering in the Western Sect, I would certainly not forgive you."

The Cult Master Tongtian said something that was half pleading and half threatening.

"Please rest assured, Cult Master Tongtian, on this matter."

"We'll take our leave now."

After agreeing to the request from the Cult Master Tongtian, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin headed towards their Western Sect.

"Grand Pure One Laozi, you take your disciples and leave first. I still have some matters to attend to with Cult Master Tongtian."

After the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti had gone far away, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi spoke to the Grand Pure One Laozi.

"All disciples of the Chan Sect, heed my command and return to your sect with me."

Grand Pure One Laozi didn't ask any further questions and simply told all his disciples to follow him.

A quarter of an hour later, all the disciples of the Chan Sect left with Grand Pure One Laozi, leaving only Cult Master Tongtian and Celestial Venerable Yuanshi on the ruins of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

"Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, why haven't you left yet? Is there something you need?"

Seeing that the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had no intention of leaving with the Chan Sect members, the Cult Master Tongtian couldn't help but ask.

"Junior brother, a crack has appeared in my Dao heart. I beg your help."

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi got straight to the point.

"Oh, how can I help you?"

The Cult Master Tongtian did not refuse and readily agreed.

"After this great battle, I believe you've also suffered some losses, junior brother. You should rest and recuperate first, and then you and I will have a fight."

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi directly revealed the method.

"Alright, you should rest too, so you won't accuse me of bullying you if you lose."

After saying this, the Cult Master Tongtian sat down cross-legged and began to recover his Law Power and energy.

At the same time, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi sat down cross-legged and began to restore his magical Law Power.

About three hours later, both the Cult Master Tongtian and the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had recovered.

"Are you all done fixing up?"

The Cult Master Tongtian was the first to speak and ask a question.

"I'm ready, let's start."

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi replied confidently.

"Senior brother, you'd better be careful."

As he spoke, the Cult Master Tongtian activated his Law Treasure Immortal-Slaying Sword, and charged towards the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Bring it on!

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi activated his Law Treasure, the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens, to confront the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Immediately, the Cult Master Tongtian drew his weapon, the Green Duckweed Sword, first unleashing a killing Sword Qi, and then charging towards the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi immediately drew his weapon and activated the Chaos Sword Qi to defend against the killing Sword Qi that Cult Master Tongtian was attacking.

The moment the two Sword Qi collided, they exploded instantly, like dry tinder meeting a raging fire.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi also wielded his weapon and clashed with the Cult Master Tongtian. As expected of Sage, although they used Law Treasure more often, their swordsmanship was in no way inferior.

The two Swordsmanship's skills were so exquisite that even if an ordinary person spent their entire life trying to learn a single move from them, they might not be able to master even a single technique.

Although both of them possessed exquisite Swordsmanship, neither could overcome the other. After a fierce exchange, neither of them suffered any serious injuries other than a scratch on their clothes.

The two then retreated.

At that moment, something suddenly happened behind the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
