Chapter Thirty-Two: Tongtian Establishes the Jie Sect
Tongtian adopted a strategy of restraining Taishang, Yuanshi, and Jieyin while focusing all his efforts on attacking the weakest, Zhunti. He directly defeated Zhunti and then severely injured Taishang and the other two. Fighting four opponents alone, he killed one and injured three, making Tongtian famous.
Above the East Sea, Tongtian looked arrogantly at Taishang and the others. In this battle, he was invincible with divine might, fighting against four opponents alone. From now on, he would be the rightful third person in the prehistoric world. As for Xuan Chu and Hongjun, Tongtian knew that he would probably never surpass them. Hongjun might still have a tiny bit of hope, but as for Xuan Chu, Tongtian could only look up to him from behind.
Taishang looked at the arrogant Tongtian with a complicated expression, his heart filled with regret. He knew that Tongtian's current situation was entirely due to his visit to the Pangu Palace to pay respects to Xuan Chu and acknowledge Xuan Chu as his uncle. Moreover, Taishang believed that after Tongtian returned from the Pangu Palace, he must have intended to persuade him and Yuanshi to also visit the Pangu Palace. However, he had the same thought as Yuanshi at the time, fearing punishment from the Heavenly Dao and the loss of his status as a Heavenly Dao Saint. He was even afraid of being implicated by Tongtian when he learned that Tongtian had been to the Pangu Palace, thus losing a great opportunity. After this battle, he finally understood that the Heavenly Dao Saint was not so great after all.
Meanwhile, Yuanshi was filled with resentment. He resented Tongtian for his disrespect for elders and complete disregard for brotherhood; he resented Xuanchu for refusing to teach him the methods of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, even though he was also a descendant of Pangu; he resented Hongjun for never telling him that the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal was stronger than the Heavenly Dao Saint, instead leading him down the path of no return to the Heavenly Dao Saint; and he resented the Heavenly Dao for failing to suppress Xuanchu, this anomaly, even though it was the ruler of the primordial world.
"Hahaha, Hongjun, it's over. You should hurry to the East Sea to bring back your disciples. I'm worried that if they stay any longer, their Dao hearts will break." Seeing that the great battle had come to an end and his side had won a great victory, Xuan Chu was in a great mood. He even kindly reminded Hongjun to hurry up and bring back his disciples, otherwise it would be bad if their Dao hearts broke.
"Hmph!" Hongjun's face was terribly cold. The blow this battle dealt to him was unimaginable. But that was not the most crucial point. The five saints of the Heavenly Dao had been defeated one after another, with two dead and three injured. If they were not properly appeased, they might lose faith in themselves and the Heavenly Dao.
Hongjun descended upon the East Sea once more. Without uttering a word, he directly swept up the severely injured Taishang, Yuanshi, and Jieyin and returned them to Zixiao Palace. At the same time, he sent a message to the resurrected Nuwa and Zhunti, instructing them to come to Zixiao Palace immediately.
After Hongjun left, Xuanchu returned to the East Sea and said to the Twelve Ancestral Witches of Tongtian Pavilion with a smile, "You have all done very well. I am proud of you!"
"We owe everything to our uncle's teachings; we dare not take credit!" Tongtian and the Twelve Ancestral Witches said.
"Alright, I have seen your efforts. Twelve Ancestral Witches, you cannot leave the Witch Clan for too long. Go back quickly. As for Tongtian, you still have one thing to do," Xuan Chu said. The Twelve Ancestral Witches need to be stationed in the Witch Clan and cannot be away from the Witch Clan for too long. Now that the great battle is over, they should return to the Witch Clan as soon as possible. As for Tongtian, Xuan Chu said that he still had one thing to do.
"Yes, Uncle!" the Twelve Ancestral Witches replied, and then left Jin'ao Island and returned to Buzhou Mountain.
"Uncle, is there anything else that Tongtian needs to do?" Tongtian asked Xuanchu after the Twelve Ancestral Witches left.
Xuan Chu said, "Tongtian, do you still remember what Hongjun said to you, Taishang, and Yuanshi in Zixiao Palace?"
"What was said in Zixiao Palace?" Tongtian was a little confused because Hongjun had said too much to the Three Pure Ones in Zixiao Palace, and he couldn't process it all in a short time.
Seeing Tongtian's expression, Xuan Chu knew he hadn't grasped the situation yet, so he reminded him, "Now that Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti have all established great sects, what are your thoughts?"
After Xuan Chu's reminder, Tong Tian instantly remembered that when Hong Jun distributed the Primordial Purple Qi to him, he said that he would establish a great sect in the future to promote the Xuanmen lineage. This must be what he meant. However, Tai Shang established a sect to become a saint, while he was already a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. He didn't need to establish a sect to become a saint at all.
"Uncle, Tongtian understands, but now Tongtian no longer needs to establish a sect to become a saint. Shouldn't this great sect no longer need to be established?" Tongtian said. The reason he said this was firstly because Tongtian really didn't need it anymore, and secondly because Tongtian was a bit lazy and hated trouble. The reason why the Jie Sect was so badly harmed in his previous life was largely due to Tongtian's inaction. Of course, there was also the reason that Tongtian had illusions about Taishang and Yuanshi, but more importantly, Tongtian didn't care about things. He was kept in the dark about how many disciples of the Jie Sect were sent to the Investiture of the Gods. It wasn't until the disciples of the Chan Sect visited Biyou Palace three times that Tongtian belatedly realized what was happening and tried to make amends. Unfortunately, it was all too late.
"Tongtian, you must understand that you have now broken with the Heavenly Dao. In the future, what we will fight against the Heavenly Dao for is the lineage of the Dao and the destiny of the people. These are not things that can be accomplished by winning one or two battles against the saints. We need more disciples to accomplish this and leave our own lineage in the prehistoric world. Therefore, you must establish a sect and you need to establish a great sect that is different from others," Xuan Chu said.
"To establish a great and unique religion?" Tongtian seemed to understand something, and nodded, saying, "Uncle, Tongtian understands!"
Tongtian soared into the sky, proclaiming to the entire primordial world: "My name is Tongtian. I hereby establish a sect called the Jie Sect, to enlighten all living beings in the primordial world. The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden. I am willing to seize a sliver of life for all living beings in the primordial world, teaching without discrimination! All living beings in the primordial world who aspire to the Dao may come to my sect. I will use the innate supreme treasure, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, to suppress the Jie Sect's fortune. The Jie Sect is established, and I am its leader, known as Master Tongtian!"
As Tongtian established his religion, thunder rumbled beyond the nine heavens, but the merits for establishing the religion were nowhere to be seen. Xuan Chu understood that the Heavenly Dao did not want to bestow merits upon Tongtian. Thinking of this, Xuan Chu smiled. This was a measure that would benefit the Primordial World. Although the Heavenly Dao was responsible for bestowing merits, this right was granted by the Great Dao. Although people called merits Heavenly Dao merits, in reality, these merits all came from the Great Dao. The Heavenly Dao was merely an executor. Distributing merits was the will of the Great Dao. If the Heavenly Dao dared to withhold merits, the Great Dao would not let it go.
As expected, because the merits were delayed, a thunderclap came from beyond the nine heavens. The sound was heard but the form was not seen, but the sound was even louder than the heavenly tribulation.
As the thunder dissipated, a golden pillar of merit descended from the sky, enveloping Tongtian. However, unlike other Heavenly Saints, Tongtian did not absorb the merit. Instead, he chose to refine it into a golden wheel of merit as a means of self-preservation. After all, Tongtian did not have the support of the Heavenly Dao's origin and could not be immortal. Having more means of self-preservation was essential.
