Hearing Sect Master Tongtian point out his puppet Great Dao incarnation, Hu Lei remained calm.
What a joke. This was a Saint. How could he hide this little ability from him?
"A little bit of ability, Great-Grandmaster is laughing at me.”Hu Lei said modestly.
Sect Master Tongtian smiled and shook his head." You have grasped a trace of the Great Dao before becoming a Golden Immortal. If this is still a trivial skill, I'm afraid the Golden Immortals of Chan School will be furious."”
Hu Lei chuckled and did not explain further.
Sect Master Tongtian did not ask much. He had already attained the Dao in ancient times and had seen countless peerless geniuses. In fact, even he himself was once a peerless genius who surpassed his peers.
It was indeed monstrous to master the laws before becoming a Golden Immortal, but it was not enough for Sect Master Tongtian to get to the bottom of it.
After a few moments of silence, Sect Master Tongtian slowly opened his mouth,""Hu Lei, do you know why I ordered my disciples to shut their caves and not leave Golden Ao Island?”
Hu Lei was a little surprised. Was his grandmaster going to be honest with him?
"This is also the painstaking effort of the Great Grandmaster, right?" Hu Lei probed after thinking for a while. After all, the great calamity had arrived. It was difficult to have a good ending if one was involved in it.”
"No good ending?" Sect Master Tongtian shook his head. Why? Could it be that the disciples of Jie School were inferior to others?”
Hu Lei secretly cursed in his heart. It's not that the disciples of Jie School are inferior to others, but that you, a Saint, are inferior to other Saints in protecting your shortcomings!
" I know what you're thinking." Sect Master Tongtian sighed." Are you blaming me for watching my disciple die and my two senior brothers bully my disciple?"”
Hu Lei was shocked. Could it be that this great grandmaster of his could read minds?
However, he had nothing to hide. He laughed dryly and said,"I don't blame you, but I do have some doubts in my heart.”
He added,"Not only me, but the elders of the sect also don't quite understand the intentions of the Great Grandmaster."”
"You sure know how to talk." Sect Master Tongtian shook his head with a smile.”
As he spoke, Sect Master Tongtian sighed again."It's not that I don't want to participate in the great tribulation, but I can't.”
"Why?" Hu Lei asked, puzzled. With the presence of the great grandmaster, could it be that he can't protect us?”
Sect Master Tongtian shook his head." No. If I forcefully interfere, there will only be one outcome for Jie School. When the tree falls, the monkeys will scatter and most of them will fill the God List!"”
Hu Lei's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. Wasn't what Sect Master Tongtian was talking about the original ending of Jie School?
Sect Master Tongtian actually predicted this?
Of course, he still had to show his shock.
Hu Lei widened his eyes in disbelief."How is that possible? Even with the great grandmaster's status as a saint, isn't it enough to protect us?”
"The Cultivation Tribulation is like this. Do you really think those kids from Chan School are lying to you?" Sect Master Tongtian sighed.”
Hu Lei was all ears."Please enlighten me."
"Hu Lei, do you know the Heavenly Dao?" Sect Master Tongtian asked leisurely.”
Hu Lei thought for a while and decided to hide his strength.”
"The Dao of Heaven is about birth, aging, sickness, and death.”Sect Master Tongtian explained.
Oh, it was the increase in the number of entropies.
In life, it was from birth to death. When it came to everything, everything that was orderly and stable would gradually move towards disorder and chaos.
Of course, Hu Lei couldn't say that. He still maintained a puzzled look.
Sect Master Tongtian continued to explain." Our cultivation, obtaining longevity, proving the Dao Fruit, living for a long time, and being indestructible through myriad tribulations, is essentially going against the heavens.”
"However, it is ultimately difficult to defy the will of the heavens.”
"But, hasn't Grand Grandmaster already proven himself as a Saint and become indestructible?" Hu Lei asked in confusion.”
"But I'm the only one." Sect Master Tongtian sighed. "I can resist the general trend, but you can't, let alone the entire Jie School.”
Hu Lei had a clear understanding in his heart.
" Mortals have birth, aging, sickness, and death," Sect Master Tongtian continued." Dynasties have their ups and downs. Although we Heavenly Dao Saints are detached from the outside world, how can our sacred cult be detached?”
"It's the general trend to go from prosperity to decline.”
Hu Lei already understood, but he still cooperated and asked,""Then why is our Jie School declining first?”
Sect Master Tongtian paused for a moment and sighed,""Because of luck!"
It was indeed because of luck! Hu Lei thought to himself.
"The fate of a sect determines the rise and fall of a sect. However, luck was illusory. Even Saints could not control it. They could only suppress it and delay its flow.”
"My two senior brothers both have sect treasures that can suppress fate. As a result, although the fate of their sects has been lost, it has remained stable.”
"It's a pity that our Jie School doesn't have a treasure that can suppress the providence. Over the years, the providence has been constantly flowing away. Usually, it's nothing, but now that the calamity has descended, it's like cooking oil in a raging fire. If we're not careful, the entire sect will be destroyed!”
Sect Master Tongtian frowned when he said this.
There were only a few treasures in the entire Untainted Land that could suppress Fate. He had tried to search for them for countless years, but he could not find a single one.
It could only be said that this was the will of heaven.
Hu Lei nodded in his heart. He knew this.
Sect Master Tongtian had many treasures, but he did not have a sect treasure that could suppress providence, resulting in Jie School's congenital deficiency.
Although the Fairy Slaying Sword Formation and the Qingping Sword were powerful, they couldn't suppress fate.
Unlike the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, which could suppress providence while being powerful.
The Heaven-Opening Three-Piece Set could suppress providence, but the Bell of Chaos had disappeared after the death of Primordial.
The twelfth-grade Lotus Throne could also suppress Luck, but the black lotus disappeared after the death of Rahu. The golden lotus was with the Western Religious Sect, and the red lotus was in the hands of Ancestor Minghe of the Blood Sea.
As for the White Lotus, wasn't it in his hands?
Hmm?
Thinking of this, Hu Lei could not help but have a thought.
Before he could speak, Sect Master Tongtian spoke again.
"So, now you understand why I'm guarding Golden Ao Island and ordering the entire Jie School to close the cave door and not leave, right?”
"I understand your painstaking efforts, Great Grandmaster." Hu Lei nodded.”
Sect Master Tongtian was very familiar with the situation of the Cultivation Tribulation. He was guarding Golden Ao Island to restrain his disciples. Although he might lose some disciples, he might really be able to protect Jie School through this tribulation.
However, if he dared to bring Jie School along, Jie School, which lacked luck, would only fall apart in the Cultivation Tribulation.
In order to protect the remaining disciples, Sect Master Tongtian had put in a lot of effort.
How could Sect Master Tongtian not be furious when the Three Firmament Fairies were facing a calamity?
However, for the sake of the remaining disciples and the entire Jie School, Sect Master Tongtian could only endure it.
The friendship of the Three Pure Ones had long been exhausted during the separation.
If it wasn't for his disciples, he would have taken the Qingping Sword to the Jade Mirage Palace and the Eight Visions Palace to demand an explanation!
Thinking of this, School Master Tongtian was also extremely angry.
Fortunately, there were 50 Great Daos and 49 Heavenly Laws.
Jie School still had a chance of survival!
School Master Tongtian looked at Hu Lei silently and spoke again,"
"Hu Lei, do you know why I'm telling you this?”
Hu Lei was shocked.
That's right, he was only a Mystic Immortal now. Sect Master Tongtian was a dignified Heavenly Dao Saint. Why was he telling him these secrets?
"50 Great Daos and 49 Heavenly Laws." Sect Master Tongtian smiled. Our generation's cultivation has grasped the Escaping One, allowing us to live for a long time and be immortal.”
"Regardless of whether it's the mortal empires or the Holy Immortal Cult, if they can grab onto that sliver of hope when they reach a dead end, they might be able to defy the heavens and change their fate.”
"Hu Lei, I think you're the only chance of survival for our Jie School.”
At this moment, Hu Lei's heart was already in turmoil.
Sect Master Tongtian actually thought that he was the only chance of survival for Jie School?
Had he been exposed somewhere?
Of course, Hu Lei knew that he was special. Could it be that Sect Master Tongtian had also seen through him?
"This…Grand Grandmaster, I really don't know what's so special about myself.”Hu Lei smiled bitterly and decided to play dumb.
" I don't know what's so special about you," Sect Master Tongtian said with a smile." But you're going against the current trend. You're destined to be the only chance of survival."”
Hu Lei suddenly understood.
He had disguised himself very well, but in fact, his actions had long fallen into the eyes of people with ulterior motives.
Sect Master Tongtian had been paying attention to Jie School, so he naturally noticed him.
However, Hu Lei didn't have to worry about being exposed. The main characters of the Cultivation Tribulation in ancient times were much more heaven-defying than him.
Donghuang Taiyi who created the Bell of Chaos, Gonggong who broke through Mount Buzhou, Houyi who shot down the sun, and so on were all more ridiculous than the last.
His current performance paled in comparison.
However, it was enough for Sect Master Tongtian to see him as a chance of survival for Jie School.
School Master Tongtian looked at Hu Lei and said slowly,""Hu Lei, are you willing to become my personal disciple?”
Hu Lei was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization.
No wonder Sect Master Tongtian said so much to him. It turned out that he wanted to take him in as a personal disciple!
This operation was possible because the difference in seniority between Hu Lei and Sect Master Tongtian was too great. On the contrary, there was no such thing as a master snatching a disciple's disciple.
Hu Lei's master, the Fire Spirit Holy Mother, was only a Golden Immortal. If she knew about this, she would only feel happy for Hu Lei.
As for Hu Lei, he had no reason to refuse.
Sect Master Tongtian's move was indeed to tie him to the chariot of Jie School and hope that he would turn the tide and help the building collapse.
However, Hu Lei was already tied to Jie School and had already offended Chan School.
Now that he had become the personal disciple of a Saint, he could obtain even more benefits. It was simply beneficial without any harm.
Even if he could not withstand it and died in this tribulation in the future, wouldn't he still be able to be on the God Rankings?
Different from the attitude of the Primordial Immortals, Hu Lei was not too averse to being listed on the God List.
Although there would be the Three Pure Four Royal Heavenly Gods above his head, he was still a member of the organization!
Therefore, Hu Lei didn't have any psychological burden.
"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!”
Seeing Hu Lei being so straightforward, Sect Master Tongtian could not help but laugh.
"Good, good, good! Hu Lei, the future of our Jie School will fall on you in this tribulation!”
As he spoke, he helped Hu Lei up.
"Thank you for your favor, Master. I'll go through fire and water without hesitation!" Hu Lei smiled.”
The more Sect Master Tongtian listened, the more pleasing he became to the ear. He also looked at this new disciple more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Hu Lei, since you're my direct disciple, I can't be biased. This item will be of great use to you, so take it!”
As he spoke, he passed a small piece of jade to Hu Lei.
Sect Master Tongtian smiled." This is a fragment of the Jade Plate of Fate. It's a supreme treasure of enlightenment. It also contains two complete Great Dao nomological laws, the Sword Dao and the Puppet Great Dao. It's quite suitable for you."”
"The fragment of the Jade Creation Butterfly can help you cultivate and comprehend the Dao. When you reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, you can comprehend the two Great Dao laws.”
Hu Lei held the jade disc fragment in his hand, feeling rather excited.
Although it was only a small fragment of the Jade Creation Butterfly, its value was no less than a supreme-grade Connate Numinous treasure!
As expected of a Saint, he was generous!
"Thank you, Master, for the treasure!" Hu Lei thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
"Treasures are just external objects after all. You still can't slack off on your cultivation," Sect Master Tongtian said with a smile. "Your current realm is still a little low. I hope you can cultivate to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible!”
Only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal had the hope of truly affecting this tribulation.
Hu Lei hesitated for a moment and said with a smile,"Master, although I have the heart to cultivate, I'm afraid that the immortals of Chan School won't give me a chance!" The day before yesterday, Chan School sent a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to kill my disciple…"
The reason why he said this was naturally to cry to his Saint Master.
If he didn't take the opportunity to get more life-saving treasures, when would he?
When Sect Master Tongtian heard this, he was also a little angry."You're still a mortal general, but the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Chan School actually attacked you? It was fine if he didn't care about his face, but wasn't he even afraid of the backlash of luck?”
As he spoke, he took out two more treasures and handed them to Hu Lei.
"This is the formation disk of the Four Extreme Sword Formation. It was created by me after spending countless efforts to imitate the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation! Even if you are an abstruse immortal, you can use it.”
"This array disc has its own mysteries. It contains the power of earth, water, fire, and wind. Once it activates the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to form a large array, it will have the power of an early-stage Quasi-Sage.”
Hu Lei held the formation plate in his hands, dumbstruck. He felt that this formation plate was extremely hot.
An early-stage Quasi-Sage array could kill a perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?
This array formation was almost comparable to Fairy Three Firmament's Nine Yellow River Formation!
School Master Tongtian pointed at another treasure and said with a smile,"This is the Primordial Yang Merit Cauldron, a Merit Spiritual Treasure. However, in terms of defensive power, it's comparable to a superior-grade Connate defensive Spiritual Treasure.”
"You can rely on it to protect yourself!"
Two treasures, one for attack and one for protection. Sect Master Tongtian was extremely considerate.
Hu Lei looked at the two treasures and was extremely touched.
Although this master was so good to him because he was counting on him to work hard for Jie School, Hu Lei did not have any intention of disliking him.
Because he had given too much!
This master was really close to people!
When Hu Lei thought of this, he recalled his previous thought.
In any case, he was already tied to Jie School, so there was no need to treat him as an outsider.
With the cauldron, the twelve White Lotuses were no longer that important.
Hu Lei immediately stopped hesitating and said with a smile,"Master treated me like this, how can I not return the favor? There is a treasure here that I can give to Master.”
"What is it?" Sect Master Tongtian waved his hand with a smile. How can I accept your treasures?"
He did not take Hu Lei's words to heart.
What kind of treasure could his new Xuan Immortal disciple have?
Then, Hu Lei silently took out the twelfth-grade White Lotus of Purification.
The words that Sect Master Tongtian wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat. His gaze froze instantly, and his entire person was stunned.
" Twelfth Grade World Cleansing White Lotus?!"
