"Stop spouting nonsense. Fellow Daoist Tongtian and you are no longer master and disciple."
"From both a moral and legal standpoint, you shouldn't have locked him up."
Kuafu looked at Hongjun and said calmly.
Whether you let him go or not is your business, but whether I mess with you or not is my business.
Upon hearing this, Hongjun's face darkened. This was clearly a threat, but even so, he couldn't do anything about Kuafu.
The situation is dire. If the four powerful saints were to fight Hongjun with all their might, he would be no match for them.
At this moment, Hongjun sighed, then took out his magic weapon, the golden bowl. As he cast his spell, the Tongtian Sect Leader appeared out of thin air in the arena.
"Fellow Daoist Kuafu, what brings you to this place..."
The Tongtian Sect Leader was stunned, then his face lit up with surprise.
Previously, inside the golden bowl, he frantically attacked the formation, but ultimately it was all in vain.
I thought I would spend the rest of my life in a golden bowl.
Unexpectedly, there's always a way out; this is truly a case of "after the darkest hour comes the dawn."
"It was you who saved me, fellow Daoist."
Tongtian was no fool. Seeing Hongjun's gloomy expression, he immediately guessed what was going on.
Looking across the vast and ancient land, the only person who could elicit such an expression from one's teacher is probably fellow Daoist Kuafu.
Kuafu smiled slightly, "That's right, I see you have great courage to abdicate your saintly position and leave the Xuanmen sect."
"Fellow Daoist, you appreciate my knowledge!" Tongtian dared not be presumptuous and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"You should think this through. Once you leave the Xuanmen, you will no longer be Wu Hongjun's disciple, and the Xuanmen will have no connection with you whatsoever."
Hongjun flicked his sleeve fiercely and let out a cold snort.
Tongtian remained calm. He had said everything he needed to say, but at this moment, he felt an intense loathing for this former Dao Ancestor and didn't even want to continue the conversation.
Seeing the former master and disciple now irreconcilably opposed, the other Heavenly Saints present all wore expressions of emotion.
Apart from Nuwa and Tongtian, the other Heavenly Saints are now reduced to mere spirits.
The reason Kuafu did not kill them was not because he was letting them go back to the mountains, but because Heaven would regenerate them.
With this matter resolved, Kuafu returned to Penglai Immortal Island, while Tongtian Jiaozhu's favorability towards Kuafu increased significantly.
In fact, respect accounts for an even larger proportion.
The Jie Sect at present is not so much a gathering of immortals as it is a prosperous and flourishing state. However, with Tongtian's self-abandonment of his holy position, the disciples of the Jie Sect are suddenly filled with panic and gossip.
"Master's actions are simply incomprehensible. How could he give up such a supreme position so easily?"
“In the past, our master had the cultivation of a saint to protect us, so the people of the Chan Sect did not dare to openly target us.”
"But now that our master has lost his saintly cultivation, Uncle Yuanshi... he will never let us disciples of the Jie Sect go."
"Shut up! Master doesn't have a second brother like that, and we don't have a second uncle like that either."
"Yes, yes, please forgive me, fellow disciples. I misspoke!"
The Intercepting Sect.
On Jin'ao Island, in a side hall of Biyou Palace, many elite disciples of the Jie Sect gathered to discuss the matter of Tongtian Jiaozhu relinquishing his sainthood.
As one of the disciples made a slip of the tongue, the atmosphere here gradually became somber.
The disciples' faces were filled with melancholy.
In Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader sat cross-legged on a futon, slowly opened his eyes, and upon hearing the conversation in the next hall, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had already anticipated that the disciples would discuss these topics at their meetings.
Even so, he still broke away from the Xuanmen sect and became a seemingly powerful sect leader. In reality, he was no different from a lonely figure.
Tongtian knew the contents of the Investiture of the Gods very well because Kuafu had given him a copy of the Investiture of the Gods.
Because the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect committed a calamity that would kill immortals, and because after the great calamity of the witches and demons, there was no one left in the Heavenly Court of Haotian.
So Haotian went to Hongjun to complain about this matter, and Hongjun, in accordance with the will of Heaven, gathered the six sages at Zixiao Palace to discuss the matter of conferring titles upon the gods.
The Investiture of the Gods was a process in which 365 righteous gods were appointed to reside in the Heavenly Court. They were subject to the control of the Jade Emperor and enjoyed the offerings of incense from the mortal world, but from then on, they lost their freedom.
Firstly, the sage Nuwa was of a tranquil nature and disliked fighting, therefore, she was not involved in this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.
In addition, the two Western Saints declined to select disciples of the Western Sect to participate in the tribulation, citing the scarcity of resources and population in the Western land.
So in the end, only the Human Teaching, the Chan Teaching, and the Jie Teaching remained.
The Taiqing Laozi of the Human Sect has only one disciple, namely the Xuandu Grand Master of the Human Race, who is currently at the Quasi-Saint realm and is also the nominal senior brother of the three sects.
As for the Chan Sect, it has the Twelve Golden Immortals and some other immortals of good fortune, who can be considered outer disciples of Kunlun Mountain.
However, the number of people in the Chan sect was far less than that in the Jie sect, since the Jie sect's doctrines always upheld the principle of education for all.
It mainly consists of bizarre monsters and fairies with fur and horns.
So in Zixiao Palace, Yuanshi shamelessly pointed at Tongtian and said, "You have many disciples of the Jie Sect, so why don't you fill in the positions of the 365 righteous gods on the Investiture of the Gods?"
Getting back to the main point, when Tongtian was reading the novel and got to this part, he was so angry that he almost unleashed the Four Swords of Zhuxian and wanted to cut Kunlun Mountain into ruins!
