NOVEL NEXT Chapter 288 Tongtian Sect Leader
Golden light atop divides into five colors, red lotus at feet follows for ten thousand miles;
Eight Diagrams Immortal Robe brings purple aura, Three-Edge Treasure Sword named Qingping.
Subduing dragons and taming tigers is first, capturing demons and monsters at will.
Who is the Tongtian Sect Leader? Disciple of Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, master of the Jie Sect, with two fellow disciples who pursued the Dao together, one is the Great Lord of the Eight Scenic Palace, referred by Nezha as the Supreme One, the other is the current leader of the Chan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun.
Upholding the advanced concept of 'teaching without discrimination,' Tongtian Sect Leader collected disciples of all kinds, therefore the Jie Sect is also often called wild beings yet to shed their primitive traits by members of the Chan Sect.
Tongtian Sect Leader.
Daluo Primordial Great Immortal.
A genuine Saint between heaven and earth.
Among the cultivators Nezha had met, be it Demon Race King Bai Mushuang, who plotted for ten thousand years hoping for resurrection, the enigmatic Lu Ya, the treacherous Ran Deng, or the sharp Yun Xiao, in his eyes they might all be akin to dust.
He walked through the endless corridors of Biyou Palace, along the path stood three thousand eight hundred Rosha statues, each with different expressions and postures.
Nezha couldn't help but look, but after just a moment, he realized that these three thousand eight hundred Rosha seemed to be performing a cultivation technique.
When he reached the Sect Leader, the sacred might spreading around made one's soul tremble, nearly bringing people to their knees.
Nezha did not kneel, instead, he lifted his head, attempting to see clearly the appearance of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Upon seeing that he was just an ordinary mortal, a faint smile of relief appeared on Nezha's face.
"What are you smiling at?"
"To see you, Sect Leader, brings joy naturally," Nezha lowered his head again.
"Liar." The sweeping embroidered sleeve of Tongtian over the void, three thousand eight hundred Rosha statues suddenly turned around together, "But it doesn't matter, since you came into the world, I observed your actions, a body of rebellion, reminiscent of my youth by seven parts."
"Sect Leader jests." Despite saying so, Nezha felt a chill in his heart, he always thought that Tongtian seemed to know everything about him.
However, that shouldn't be possible, he had jumped outside the Heavenly Dao.
Last time when he visited Yuanshi Tianzun, with his cultivation level, he couldn't tell Nezha's whereabouts and times, how could Tongtian possibly do it?
"Because I do not calculate, but always watch with my eyes. Though my elder brother also knows you, in his heart, you are no different from other Outer Heaven Demons, so he does not care at all."
Nezha had to answer, "Sect Leader is omniscient."
"Don't sigh."
"Your junior sincerely admires, there is no sigh," Nezha sighed inwardly, thinking this time he was doomed, not only was his hideout discovered, but the opponent was so powerful that there was no place for him in this world.
He wondered if since he'd offended the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, if he could still go to Yuanshi Tianzun to beg for mercy. However, being here in Biyou Palace, such a chance was even slimmer.
"Even if you sigh in your heart, I can hear it too." Tongtian's face remained unchanged, looking down at Nezha as if viewing an amusing toy, he stretched out his hand, streams of primordial energy dispersed from Nezha's pores, woven into a five-colored armor covering him, "Tsk, it doesn't fit well, it seems you are not destined, even so, being chosen means you must have extraordinary qualities."
Chosen me?
By whom?
For what?
Nezha tried not to think, but couldn't help it. Controlling thoughts was extremely tough, especially when he found Tongtian seemed capable of mind reading.
Tongtian asked, "Do the people of your world all have black eyes and pupils?"
"Not all of them."
"I see, originally, I did indeed lose the Divine Enthronement War, but I would not die, this point comforts me. After all, my great life would not end because of such a trivial matter. However, your existence is different, Nezha."
Nezha felt an irresistible will, forcing him to raise his head, tremulously staring at Tongtian, he helplessly and doubtfully asked, "What is different? Sect Leader, though I am outside the Heavenly Dao, I am only at Golden Immortal Realm, how can I threaten your existence?"
Tongtian replied, "Of course, you alone cannot threaten me. I have seen through you. With your talent, in this world, regardless of any fortuitous encounters or effort you put in, you can at most cultivate to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. But changing from an ant to a flying insect, it remains an insect."
Nezha smiled, "Sect Leader's mana is boundless, Nezha is different, now worrying about how to step into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. I have heard, Taiyi Golden Immortal is divided into initial, middle, advanced, and consummate, where the differences are as significant as previous great realms. How dare I talk about the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm beyond that."
Tongtian shook his head, "Actually, it's not too far. If you focus on cultivation, within approximately three thousand years, you may touch the Daluo Golden Immortal's threshold."
"I—"
"Do not talk about this matter anymore," Tongtian Sect Leader interrupted, bringing the subject back again, "What I say, the threat to me, is from the person behind you."
"I have no one behind me," Nezha thought for a moment, then added, "As far as I know."
Tongtian pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, "Heaven and Earth, four directions above and below are termed Universe, the passage of all times is termed Cosmos. The universe is like this, incredibly stable, great millennial worlds exist this way, though smaller worlds also exist, but terrifying spatial turbulence separates all worlds, even a Daluo Golden Immortal might die if caught within. So you think coming here, is it a coincidence?"
