Chapter 221 The Heavenly Summoning of Disciples!
Seeing his two older brothers making faces at each other,
Then I thought about the possibilities of the future.
Tongtian said coldly:
"No need for you two brothers to trouble yourselves!"
As a disciple of the Jie Sect, I know my place!
If manpower is needed for matters concerning the human race,
I will naturally send a suitable disciple.
As for karmic calamities...
As a cultivator, what is there to fear?!
This is a perfect opportunity to temper one's character!
That's what he said, but Tongtian had already made his plans in his heart.
This blatant act of sabotaging the Jie Sect itself...
He's not stupid!
After all,
Tongtian simply turned and left.
It transformed into a sharp sword light and returned directly to Jin'ao Island.
Looking in the direction Tongtian left,
A cold glint flashed in Yuanshi's eyes as he whispered to Laozi:
"Elder brother, it seems that Junior Brother Tongtian..."
They were highly vigilant about the Investiture of the Gods.
Their protectiveness is quite obvious!
Lao Tzu remained expressionless and said calmly:
"Under the calamity, who can remain unscathed?"
He had the most disciples in the Jie Sect, and his karmic connections were the most complex.
It was destined that disciples of the Jie Sect would be included on the list.
We have already spoken up and reminded them, which is enough to show our brotherhood!
Since he insists on doing so, let him be.
However, the number of divine positions on the Investiture of the Gods was limited.
Ultimately, someone has to fill in the blanks.
Then, don't blame Heaven for being heartless.
Yuanshi nodded:
"What my elder brother says is true."
Those disciples of my Chan Sect who possess profound roots and virtues should devote themselves to cultivation and avoid this calamity.
As for those with shallow roots and insufficient blessings... being able to make the list and attain a divine position is a great achievement.
It was also their good fortune.
However, we still need to find a way to avert this calamity.
More should be placed on…those who deserve it.
The two understood each other without saying a word, and their figures disappeared into the chaos.
On the way back to Jin'ao Island,
The more Tongtian Jiaozhu thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more something seemed amiss.
"Draft a list? It depends on chance?"
"Hmph, that's easy for you to say!"
Tongtian sneered.
"That old fogey Yuanshi has always looked down on the disciples of my Jie Sect."
This time they're probably plotting something bad.
They want me, a disciple of the Jie Sect, to fill the Investiture of the Gods!
And then there's Lao Tzu, who appears neutral but is actually biased!
What human matters require flexible disciples?
Isn't it just that they want my Jie Sect members to get involved in this mess and taint their karma?
Is it to protect their precious disciple from calamity?
His teacher Hongjun's words came to mind again:
"Those who make the list must have profound roots and virtues, insufficient merits, or be entangled in difficult-to-resolve karmic entanglements."
"Insufficient merit? Entangled in cause and effect?"
Tongtian frowned deeply.
"Our Jie Sect teaches without discrimination, and our disciples come from diverse backgrounds."
Indeed, some disciples have heavier karmic burdens.
The accumulation of merit is not as good as that of those who quietly cultivate themselves.
But does that mean it should be on the list?
Our Jie Sect's techniques are inherently refined through combat.
Experience the trials of the mortal world!
Why should someone be placed on that damned Investiture of the Gods just because their karma is heavier?
Go work for the Heavenly Court? Become subordinates of those two gatekeepers?!
A strong sense of protectiveness and a feeling of injustice.
It stirred within Tongtian's heart.
"no!
We must never allow our disciples to be slaughtered!
The sword intent in Tongtian's eyes soared to the heavens.
"The Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods?"
Alright! Since we can't avoid it, let's face it!
I want to see just how powerful this calamity really is!
I'd like to see that too.
"Who can get my disciples from the Jie Sect onto the list?"
He has made up his mind.
Upon returning, they immediately closed the mountain gates.
He urged his disciples to intensify their cultivation and forge magical treasures.
At the same time, they were strictly forbidden from going down the mountain easily.
In particular, one should stay away from the human race, as that is a place of trouble and potential calamity.
Those humans and witches are in cahoots, how can you mess with them?!
He must do everything in his power to protect his disciple this time!
However, what Tongtian didn't know was that...
The Investiture of the Gods calamity, driven by Hongjun and orchestrated by Yuanshi and Laozi, has already begun.
The general direction has been determined.
The scroll of the Investiture of the Gods, enshrined in Heaven, was aimed at...
It seems that it has already been taken over by certain people.
Intentionally or unintentionally, it led them towards Jin'ao Island.
It's practically impossible for Tongtian to remain unscathed!
......
Tongtian's return this time,
They rushed back to Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island at almost the fastest speed.
He had barely landed, and before he could even calm his churning blood and emotions,
He then shouted sternly:
"Seven Immortals, including Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, and Suishi!"
"See me at the palace, Su Biyou!"
The sound, like thunder, reverberated throughout the entire Golden Turtle Island.
Startled, countless celestial birds and mythical beasts bowed their heads.
Countless disciples of the Jie Sect who were cultivating, discussing the Dao, and practicing formations looked up in astonishment.
I had absolutely no idea what major event had occurred.
It's incredible that my usually carefree and unrestrained master could react like this!
Surprised as I was
The four direct disciples of Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Guiling Shengmu,
And the seven attendant immortals, including Wuyun Xian and Jingu Xian.
Arriving in an instant
When they arrived at the palace, they saw Tongtian's gloomy, furrowed brows and unpleasant expression.
Everyone was startled.
I knew this was a really big deal!
"Master!"
Daoist Duobao bowed and asked cautiously,
"But in the Purple Cloud Palace..."
"From this moment on..."
Jin'ao Island is completely closed!
Activate the strongest defense of the Myriad Immortals Formation!
No one may enter or leave without my decree!
Before Duobao could finish stating his guess,
Tongtian interrupted directly, his tone resolute and brooking no argument.
They were afraid that if they were even a step too slow, many of their disciples who were away from home would suffer!
"Immediately issue my orders."
All disciples who are traveling, visiting friends, carrying out missions, or even in seclusion for cultivation.
No matter where you are, no matter what important things you have to do,
Put everything down and return to Jin'ao Island as quickly as possible!
Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences! There can be no mistakes!
Upon hearing this, the disciples' expressions all changed.
A complete island lockdown? An urgent recall of all disciples?
This occurred during a time when the immortals of the Jie Sect gathered to pay homage, and their fortunes were at their peak.
It's simply unimaginable!
Moreover, his master was a Heavenly Saint!
Could this mean the Witch Clan has launched an attack?!
But that doesn't make sense either!
If the Witch Clan really attacks, what's the point of resisting?!
Why not just wait to die?!
After all, the ancestral witches had killed the two Western Saints in a matter of breaths.
They all know that!
In an instant, the disciples of the Intercepting Sect were filled with all sorts of thoughts and speculations...!
"Master, what exactly happened?"
Could it be...?
Golden Spirit Mother hesitated, saying that she had observed most carefully.
He could already see an unprecedented solemnity and an undisguised urgency in Tongtian's eyes.
"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has begun!"
Tongtian gritted his teeth,
He briefly recounted what had happened in Zixiao Palace to everyone.
It was particularly emphasized that "those with shallow foundations and limited merits were included on the list."
And the potentially perilous developments that could result from "the three religions discussing it amongst themselves."
"The Heavenly Court needs to be re-established, and gods are required to fill the positions."
My disciples from the three sects of Xuanmen will be the first to bear the brunt!
This calamity is far more dangerous than any before!
"Primordial Beginning... Hmph!"
Although Tongtian only gave a brief explanation...
But his personal disciples were all cunning and eccentric geniuses.
He instantly understood the source of Tongtian's worries:
The second and first senior uncles are very likely to use this as an excuse to make a fuss.
The goal of using this as an excuse is...
Most of them are disciples of the Jie Sect who are not from the orthodox Xuanmen lineage!
"Disciple understands!"
Daoist Duobao answered very seriously.
The significance of a great calamity is already immense, and this one clearly involves the life and death of one's own brothers.
There is no room for carelessness.
He immediately turned around
"I'll arrange the message immediately and activate the grand formation!"
"I'm going to check the list of disciples on the island and verify those who are outside!"
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit also accepted the order and left.
The atmosphere on Jin'ao Island instantly became tense!
The radiance of the Myriad Immortals Array soon enveloped the entire island.
Streams of light, imbued with the divine power of a sage, shot out from Biyou Palace.
Fly to all parts of the prehistoric world,
Go and find and notify those disciples of the Jie Sect who are scattered elsewhere.
