Shiva and the other two had just narrowly escaped Jieyin's clutches, only to see Zhunti chatting and laughing with him. Their faces changed drastically, and they immediately vanished into the void!
Zhunti sensed their presence and looked at Jieyin. "Senior Brother, who were they?"
Jieyin shook his head and replied, "No need to bother. Just three youngsters who have recently attained Sainthood!"
As Jieyin finished speaking, Sakyamuni, who had been sitting on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.
Jieyin and Zhunti both turned to look at Sakyamuni. The many bhikshus present quickly bowed and said, "We welcome the World Honored One out of seclusion!"
Sakyamuni ignored the bhikshus and went directly to Zhunti, kneeling before him.
"I implore Senior to take me as your disciple!"
Zhunti looked at Sakyamuni kneeling on the ground and gently nodded. "You have cultivated diligently beneath the Bodhi tree for a long time, and you have a connection with me. From this day forth, you shall be my second disciple, and I shall bestow upon you the Dao name: Tathagata!"
Tathagata was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately prostrated himself. "I greet my Master!"
Zhunti nodded and introduced Jieyin beside him to Tathagata. "This is your Martial Uncle, Jieyin!"
Tathagata heard this and immediately bowed to Jieyin as well. "I greet my Martial Uncle!"
Jieyin nodded and noticed a wooden alms bowl where Tathagata had been sitting. He reached out, and the bowl flew into his hand.
After refining it, the alms bowl began to gleam with golden light, as if cast from pure gold.
Jieyin handed the golden alms bowl to Tathagata and said, "I see you are without a spiritual treasure. This alms bowl is for you!"
Tathagata joyfully accepted the golden alms bowl, admiring it more and more, finding it to be to his liking.
Zhunti then pointed a finger at Tathagata's forehead, imparting his sixteen-zhang golden body to him.
On Kunlun Mountain, everyone first sensed Zhunti's aura, and then detected Jieyin fighting with someone. Hongyun frowned and asked curiously,
"Strange, we are all here. Who is Jieyin fighting with?"
Taishang was also wondering when Yuanshi on the ground opened his eyes, and a powerful aura shot straight into the heavens simultaneously!
"Eldest Brother, Third Brother, I am about to attain Dao. However, the Grand Dao I have chosen this time is somewhat peculiar and not suitable for attainment in the Primordial World, lest the beings of the Primordial World be unable to bear it. I trouble Eldest Brother and Third Brother to accompany me into the Chaos to protect my Dao!"
Taishang and Tongtian had not yet recovered from the joy of Yuanshi's awakening when they heard such exhilarating news. Just as Taishang and Tongtian were about to escort Yuanshi into the Chaos, Taishang suddenly thought of something and said,
"All Kunlun disciples, immediately descend the mountain and monitor all newly appearing continents. Remember not to step beyond the Primordial Land by half a step!" Dan Novel Network
Taishang's voice resounded throughout Kunlun, and all the disciples immediately began preparing to descend the mountain upon hearing his command.
Taishang could never have imagined that this decision would make him regret it immensely!
After Taishang finished instructing his disciples, he turned to Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, and Taihao. "I trouble you three Daoist friends to guard Kunlun!"
Tongtian heard Taishang's instructions and asked with confusion, "Eldest Brother, didn't you say that humankind should be self-reliant and strong? Why are you still sending disciples down the mountain!"
Taishang shook his head. "Third Brother, this is not for humankind, but for the entire Primordial World! Alright, the most pressing matter now is Second Brother. Let us enter the Chaos!"
After Taishang finished speaking, the three of them headed towards the Chaos.
On the Indonesian continent, as soon as Yuanshi unleashed that powerful aura, Jieyin and Zhunti rejoiced. Jieyin said to Zhunti,
"Junior Brother, it is Yuanshi's aura. That must be the Primordial World! Let's go!"
Zhunti nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Tathagata and said, "Tathagata, wait here. Your master and martial uncle have matters to attend to. We will return after we are done!"
After Zhunti finished speaking, he and Jieyin headed in the direction from which Yuanshi's aura had emanated.
Not long after Jieyin and Zhunti had left, Hongjun and Luohu arrived at the place where Jieyin and Zhunti had just stood.
Hongjun and Luohu frowned. They had rushed here upon sensing Jieyin and Zhunti's aura, but they did not expect to miss them. However, they then detected the aura of three Sages, which were Shiva and the other two.
Luohu looked at Hongjun and asked, "Another three Sage auras. Although still very weak, they are undeniably Sages. When did Sages become so cheap!"
Hongjun shook his head, equally curious. "Never mind, let's find Jieyin and Zhunti first! Yuanshi's aura just erupted, so their direction should be towards the Primordial World!"
After Hongjun and Luohu finished speaking, they disappeared again.
Tathagata watched Hongjun and Luohu, who had appeared and disappeared so suddenly, and was greatly shocked. When had such powerful beings become so common!
And after Yuanshi erupted with his aura, many people on the entire Celestial Blue Star opened their eyes. Someone like Yuanshi, on the verge of becoming a Saint, was a great tonic to them. If they could capture Yuanshi, who had just attained Sainthood, it would be an immense opportunity!
Furthermore, due to the intervention of the Grand Dao, many continents had merged with the Primordial World into a single realm. Those at the Saint realm had already sensed this, and they were eager to explore other continents. Yuanshi was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity!
As soon as Jieyin and Zhunti left the Indonesian continent and entered a brand new continent, their faces changed drastically. They could feel a power on this land that was not inferior to their own!
Jieyin and Zhunti had been traveling at full speed, not suppressing their power, which led to them being detected as soon as they entered this land!
Jieyin and Zhunti had no intention of lingering and charged straight towards the Primordial World. Just as they made their move, a giant silver cross suddenly blocked their path!
Jieyin and Zhunti's faces changed, and they did not hesitate to join forces to blast the cross apart!
After blasting the cross apart, the two of them sped towards the Primordial World with all their might. Jieyin and Zhunti understood that once the hidden individuals made a move, they would be unable to extricate themselves.
As Jieyin and Zhunti blasted the cross apart and departed, a surprised exclamation suddenly echoed in the air.
"Eh! Not bad strength!"
As the voice fell, an old man with white hair, wearing a cross on his chest, walked out of the void, followed by seven people with wings on their backs.
One of them stepped forward to the old man's side and asked, "Holy Lord, do you need me to capture them?"
