Sect Master Tongtian smiled and said to everyone,""Everyone, long time no see.”
"Hiss!" Everyone looked at Sect Master Tongtian and could not help but be a little surprised. Was this still Sect Master Tongtian?
In the past, Sect Master Tongtian had always kept a distance from strangers. At the same time, he had a very hot temper and had a very ordinary relationship with the other Saints. Even his two brothers, Sage Laozi and Primordial Heaven Supreme, did not get along with them.
From this, one could see how low his EQ was and how arrogant he was.
However, when he saw Sect Master Tongtian greeting everyone with a smile today, his usual arrogance was gone. There was a lazy aura on his body, as if he had just woken up.
"Oh? Third brother, you seem to be in a good mood. Something good must have happened, right?”Laozi said to Tongtian. He knew Tongtian's temper the best. There must be a reason for Tongtian's unprecedented change of temper today.
"Hehe, what are you saying, big brother? This little brother has just been eating and sleeping well recently, so his mood has improved a little.”Sect Master Tongtian was still smiling.
In the eyes of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, this smile seemed to be mocking him. What good food and good sleep? It was clearly mocking him for having trouble sleeping and eating because of Chen Qian.
Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, who usually did not get along with Sect Leader Tongtian, could not bear it and immediately started to find fault. However, at this time, a voice came from Zixiao Palace,"It's time, come in.”
This was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice. The seven people present were stunned. Then, they did not say anything and quickly walked into the Purple Cloud Palace.
The seven of them walked into the Purple Cloud Palace and looked up. An old man with white hair and beard was sitting on the main seat in the middle. He was wearing a purple-gold robe and holding a white horsetail whisk in his hand. His eyes were closed and there was no fluctuation of mana around him. Even his presence was very low, as if he was one with everything around him.
"Greetings, Master!" The Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao and Hao Tian bowed to the old man in front of them.
That's right, he was the true ruler of Untainted Land, the only Sage after the Calamity of Opening Heaven, and the teacher of all Sages today, Ancestor Hongjun.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun opened his eyes and pointed. Seven praying mats appeared on the ground. Then, he said to everyone,"Alright, no need to be polite.”
When everyone heard this, they sat on the praying mats in front of them. Then, they raised their heads and looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun, waiting for him to speak.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, and a scroll appeared in front of everyone. This scroll flickered with golden light, and everyone could feel how extraordinary it was.
"After the Cultivation Tribulation of the Sorcerer and Demon Tribe, the Human Tribe rose in the Untainted Land, and the various religions flourished. The four prefectures were full of vitality.”Ancestor Hongjun had affirmed everyone's contribution to the Primordial World.
Laozi opened his mouth and said," Master, you flatter me. This is all Master's plan. We're just doing our part."”
This flattery could be said to be very accurate. Tongtian secretly curled his lips when he heard this.
"Yes, but I called you here today because of another important matter. This matter concerns the survival of Untainted Land.”Hongjun's voice suddenly sank, and everyone was shocked. It was actually a matter of life and death in Untainted Land?
"Teacher, what is so serious?”Nuwa said.
"During my closed-door training, I deduced the heavenly secrets and found that the Untainted Land will welcome the next Cultivation Tribulation in 500 years, which is called the God Sealing Cultivation Tribulation. This Cultivation Tribulation is probably no small matter, comparable to the Cultivation Tribulation of the Sorcerer and Demon Tribe.”When Hongjun said this, everyone's expression was solemn.
The six Sages all revealed shocked expressions at this moment. They were all existences who had experienced the Dragon Han Initial Tribulation and the Witch Demon Tribulation. How could they not know how terrifying the Cultivation Tribulation was when it descended?
In the First Tribulation of the Dragon Han Dynasty, the ancestors of the Untainted Land, the Qilin, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Primordial Phoenix, all fell. The three great divine beasts were almost exterminated, and the number of living beings in the Untainted Land decreased by half.
During the Sorcerer and Demon Tribulations, the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery fought the Heavenly Court of the Ancient Demon Tribe. The battle was earth-shattering and almost all the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery died. The Wu Tribe disappeared from Untainted Land, and the Heavenly Court of the Ancient Demon Tribe was also destroyed. The Demon Emperor and the East Emperor Taiyi died, and the Demon Tribe was never able to recover.
Now, there was another God Sealing Tribulation. The Primordial World would probably be plunged into misery again.
It was obvious that there must be a Tribulation Taker in this tribulation, or else the great Karma would not be eliminated. Therefore, Taoist Cundi asked,""Teacher, since it's a tribulation, there must be a Tribulation Taker. Who are you arranging for this time?”
Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded and swept his gaze across everyone. Then, he pointed at the scroll and said,"This is the Investiture of the Gods. It requires a total of 365 righteous gods and a number of other god positions. Therefore, we need at least 1,000 Tribulation Takers this time. Therefore, I want to arrange for the Clan of Enlightenment and the Clan of Jie to enter the tribulation.”
Hongjun looked at Sect Leader Tongtian and Honored Lord of the Origin. The meaning was obvious. It was a battle between the two sects. The losing sect would have disciples on the Investiture of the Gods.
Everyone's gaze was focused on the two of them, wanting to see what kind of attitude they would make.
At this moment, Honored Lord of the Origin's eyes were filled with excitement. This was a good opportunity to wash away his previous humiliation, so he immediately said,"Alright, Chan School is willing to enter the tribulation!"
Hongjun nodded in satisfaction and said to Sect Master Tongtian,"Tongtian, what do you think?"
Sect Leader Tongtian looked at the excited Honored Lord of the Origin and knew what he was thinking. In the past, his competitiveness would have prompted him to agree. But now, his mood was not affected at all. Instead, he wanted to laugh.
At this moment, he recalled Chen Qian's words. There was no need to do things that harmed others and did not benefit oneself for the sake of personal feelings. Doing things that were thankless was the most foolish.
Then, he said something that left everyone dumbfounded,""Teacher, it's not impossible for you to let our Jie School face the tribulation, but I want to know what benefits this will bring to our Jie School.”
"Hiss!" All the Saints present sucked in a breath of cold air. Was Sect Master Tongtian crazy? He actually dared to bargain with Dao Ancestor?
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's expression turned cold. He had said that he was asking for advice, but he had actually made a decision long ago. What he had said just now was just a formality. He did not expect that Tongtian would actually dare to bargain with him.
"Oh? Tongtian, if I let you face the tribulation, what benefits do you want?”
"If there aren't enough benefits, I'm afraid our Jie School will be lazy." Sect Master Tongtian shrugged.”
