The summit of Kunlun Mountain.
The wind was fierce.
Tongtian raised his head slightly, looked up in the direction of Zixiao Palace, and said loudly.
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty!"
"Tongtian only wishes to prove the Dao with his sword in this life, and does not wish to follow the path of a sage."
Tongtian's words were powerful and resonant, reaching the ears of every primordial creature.
These words were spoken.
The entire primordial world fell into silence.
......
Outside the Purple Cloud Palace.
The beings of the primordial world were initially stunned, but then their faces showed admiration.
Although Hongjun was narrow-minded, he was also calculating in every way.
But in the end, he was a sage of the Heavenly Way.
Tongtian's willingness to abandon such a powerful backer demonstrates his remarkable determination.
A chorus of voices suddenly arose from the vast wilderness...
"Tongtian's determination is truly admirable!"
"Although both are among the Three Pure Ones, Laozi and Yuanshi are far inferior to Tongtian!"
"However, Tongtian's rejection of Hongjun in front of the entire prehistoric world will likely incur Hongjun's retaliation."
"It's more than just revenge; it could be a matter of life and death..."
"......"
......
Listen to the discussions that echoed throughout the primordial world.
The group of Zixiao guests exchanged bewildered glances, then turned their gazes towards Hongjun, Laozi, and Yuanshi in the main hall...
Yuan Shi's expression turned extremely ugly.
He is a true member of the Sanqing lineage, when has he ever suffered so much criticism?
What Yuan Shi found most unacceptable was...
All of this is because of Tongtian!
Because of what happened before, Yuanshi already had a problem with Tongtian.
This only made the complaints even stronger!
Unlike the Primordial One...
Lao Tzu, however, remained expressionless, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.
As for Hongjun.
Hongjun was also quite surprised by Tongtian's reaction.
Although Hongjun was repeatedly thwarted by Luohou.
But that was the Demon Ancestor Rahu!
That's an existence that even dares to defy the Heavenly Dao.
It's not hard to understand why Hongjun was suppressed by Luohou.
But Tongtian was nothing more than an "ant" who had not yet attained enlightenment.
Below even a sage, all are but ants.
What virtue or ability does Tongtian possess to dare to disobey him?
Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, so they may have some contingency plans left behind by Pangu.
Both logically and emotionally.
Even Hongjun would not let Tongtian go.
After a moment's hesitation.
Hongjun's somewhat chilling voice suddenly echoed from Zixiao Palace...
"Reaching the Heavens!"
"Both of your elder brothers are already my disciples."
"Do you intend to jeopardize your two elder brothers' spiritual path for your own selfish reasons?"
He paused for a moment.
Hongjun's voice softened...
"If you are willing to become my personal disciple."
"I will not only bestow upon you a strand of [Primordial Purple Qi], but also many spiritual treasures."
"Have you thought this through? Don't make a mistake!"
The threatening meaning in Hongjun's words was already quite obvious.
If Tongtian is unwilling to become his disciple, Laozi and Yuanshi will both be implicated by Tongtian.
Not only that.
Hongjun promised to bestow upon them the [Primordial Purple Qi] and innate spiritual treasures...
A combination of kindness and severity!
Hongjun's methods were undeniably brilliant!
In Hongjun's view.
Tongtian had no choice but to obediently become his pawn.
But what happened next was a huge slap in the face for Hongjun...
......
A profound and compassionate connection!
Although Lao Tzu cultivated the Way of Supreme Ruthlessness and did not concern himself with worldly affairs.
Yuanshi, who valued face above all else, repeatedly made things difficult for him.
But in any case.
Laozi and Yuanshi were his brothers.
Hongjun's threat was still quite effective against Tongtian.
As for the Primordial Purple Qi and innate spiritual treasures promised by Hongjun... they were not even within Tongtian's consideration!
Just as Tongtian was struggling with this dilemma...
A voice suddenly appeared in his mind...
"Laozi and Yuanshi have already entered the fold of Hongjun, and have even been bestowed with the [Primordial Purple Qi]. They will surely become the mainstay under Hongjun in the future."
“It’s impossible for Hongjun to make things difficult for Laozi and Yuanshi.”
"Hongjun is just bluffing you."
"On the contrary, you should be prepared to be killed by Hongjun!"
"......"
The voice kept referring to Hongjun as "Old Man Hongjun," showing no regard whatsoever for Hongjun, this Heavenly Dao Saint.
Tongtian had already guessed that the owner of this voice was none other than the Demon Ancestor Rahu!
Tongtian Sword Heart is clear and his mind is extremely sharp, so he quickly realized what was happening.
Just as the Demon Ancestor Rahu said.
Hongjun was just bluffing him.
As for whether Hongjun will take action against him?
Tongtian, however, was not afraid at all!
For the sword!
Undeterred and unyielding!
If you don't even have the courage to refuse, then what's the point of practicing swordsmanship?
With this thought in mind.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Tongtian once again resolutely rejected Hongjun in front of all living beings in the primordial world.
Hongjun: "..."
Yuan Shi: "......"
The primordial beings: "......"
The most confused one was Yuanshi.
Yuan Shi knew his third brother's character best.
He never expected that Tongtian would disregard his and Laozi's safety and reject Hongjun once again.
When did Tongtian become so heartless and ruthless?
Yuanshi couldn't help but look at Laozi, strongly suspecting that Tongtian had also cultivated the Supreme Ruthless Path...
Unlike the bewildered Primordial One.
