All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

The next day, Tongtian summoned all the disciples practicing on the island to Biyou Palace for a lecture, as he wanted to purge the disciples in the sect.

Those disciples burdened with evil karma need to be cleansed.

The disciples in the sect have committed too many evil deeds, which has damaged the sect's fortune. The sect originally did not have any supreme treasure to suppress its fortune, and the disciples often do things outside that damage the sect's fortune. In the long run, the sect's fortune will probably not be enough for them to ruin.

Once all the disciples had arrived, he realized, though he hadn't noticed before, that many of them had probably been indiscriminately slaughtering living beings outside, and that they had accumulated far too much evil karma.

"Only after summoning you here today did I realize that the weight of your evil deeds far exceeds my imagination. I can hardly believe how much your actions outside have offended Heaven and Earth."

Tongtian casually grabbed dozens of them.

“Tell me, what have you done outside that has made your evil deeds so real?”

"Master, spare my life! I was just greedy and ate the humans from several cities." This man was a jackal who had cultivated to the point of attaining the Golden Immortal realm.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian casually waved his hand, causing him to vanish into thin air. His primordial spirit was cast into the eighteenth level of hell in the underworld, where the underworld's ghost messengers were to give him a good beating until the evil karma on his body disappeared.

The others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, begging the cult leader for mercy.

Tongtian didn't even bother asking anymore and simply threw their primordial spirits into the underworld.

After tidying up the area, Tongtian said, "Anyone who dares to indiscriminately slaughter living beings outside today, I will personally send them to the underworld, where they will be properly received and then reincarnated into the animal realm for countless lifetimes. Those with merit will be rewarded."

Tongtian took out some treasures and rewarded those who had accumulated merit.

After settling matters within the sect, Tongtian arrived at Zhou Yongcheng's cultivation space. Zhou Yongcheng was still cultivating, so he did not disturb him. However, he noticed two piles of books nearby, which should be Buddhist scriptures.

He picked up a book at random and looked at it. Sure enough, it was a Buddhist scripture. He put the scripture away and left the space.

Tongtian summoned Duobao again. Duobao was puzzled, as he had just left and was being called back again.

"I've met Master."

Tongtian took out Buddhist scriptures and pointed to them, saying, "From now on, you will study these scriptures here and are not allowed to go anywhere else."

Duobao picked up a scripture, opened it, and looked at it. His expression changed drastically. He said, "Master, why are the contents of this book somewhat similar to what I heard in my dream?"

"These are the scriptures of the Western religion. The scriptures you heard in your dream are the sacred thoughts left by the two Western saints in your dantian, explaining the scriptures to you."

Duobao was terrified upon hearing this. He knelt down, crawled to Tongtian's side, and pleaded pitifully, "Master, please save me! If I die, the Jie Sect will have no senior brother."

Tongtian was both amused and exasperated, and said, "The holy thoughts of the two Western Saints won't harm you; they'll only preach to you. What are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Duobao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did Master ask me to look at these Western Buddhist scriptures?" Duobao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I believe you are very suitable for cultivating the Western methods, so I want you to comprehend the cultivation methods of the Western religion."

Duobao said with a mournful face, "Master, your disciple only wants to cultivate Taoist magic, not the methods of the Western Sect."

"The reason your cultivation level is slow to break through is because the Daoist methods are not suitable for you. The methods of the Western religion are more suitable for you. If you thoroughly understand the methods of the Western religion and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, I will let you establish the Eastern Buddhism. At that time, I will let you be the Vice Leader of the Jie Sect and the Leader of the Eastern Buddhism. How about it? Do you want to be the leader?"

Upon hearing this, Duobao's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed. He put away all the scriptures and went to the side to begin studying them.

Some time has passed.

On this day, Zhou Yongcheng was studying Taoist scriptures when Tongtian appeared.

"Young friend, you seem quite relaxed."

"It's better to take it easy. You can't be impatient for success in anything. The more you rush, the less likely you are to succeed."

"Is there anything you need, young friend? If so, please let me know and I will get it for you."

Zhou Yongcheng thought for a moment and realized that he didn't need anything for the time being. The innate spiritual energy in Biyou Palace was substantial, and he also had the Enlightenment Tea to assist him. He also didn't lack cultivation techniques for the time being. His cultivation technique could reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, and he would talk about subsequent cultivation techniques after he reached the Great Luo realm.

As for magical treasures, Zhou Yongcheng wasn't particularly obsessed with them. Moreover, he already had a top-grade innate spiritual treasure-level sword and a top-grade innate spiritual treasure-level Taoist robe, so he didn't seem to have any other needs.

There are still many things he hasn't grasped yet; what he lacks is time to comprehend them. However, one cannot rush into comprehending things; one must take it slowly.

"Not yet."

Tongtian nodded and started chatting with Zhou Yongcheng, explaining some aspects of cultivation to him. This greatly benefited Zhou Yongcheng, teaching him how to quickly comprehend the laws.

On this day, Tongtian was explaining the path of cultivation to Zhou Yongcheng when a voice came from the sky, telling him to go to Zixiao Palace to discuss the matter of conferring gods.

"The Dao Ancestor has announced that the matter of conferring titles upon the gods will be discussed. It seems that the Dao Ancestor is quite impatient."

"This discussion should be about signing the Investiture of the Gods."

Tongtian nodded, left Biyou Palace, and headed to Zixiao Palace.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun sat at the head of the table, with the Six Sages below him.

"We must finalize the investiture of the gods today; we can't delay any longer," Hongjun's cold voice echoed in the Zixiao Palace.

The six sages bowed to Hongjun and began to discuss the conferment of titles upon the gods.

"Third brother, sign it." Yuanshi said calmly, taking out the Investiture of the Gods.

"I can sign the Investiture of the Gods, but the Western Sect must sign first. Otherwise, my Jie Sect will disband and will not participate in the Investiture of the Gods." Tongtian revealed a faint smile.

The two Western Saints were dumbfounded; they hadn't expected to have a role in the Investiture of the Gods.

"The Investiture of the Gods is to fill the gaps in the Heavenly Court's divine positions. What does it have to do with my Western Sect?" Zhunti said unhappily.

"In that case, the two Western Saints shall make a Heavenly Oath that no one from the Western Sect shall appear on the Eastern Land during the Investiture of the Gods period, including the two of you. If anyone violates this oath, the entire Western Sect shall be listed on the Investiture of the Gods. How about that?"

What's the difference between this and them signing the Investiture of the Gods? In fact, it's even more serious.

“Impossible,” the guide said.

"You must meet one of these two conditions, or I will disband the Jie Sect and you can handle the Investiture of the Gods yourselves."

Laozi and Yuanshi frowned slightly; they hadn't expected Tongtian to make this request.

"Third brother, the matter of the Investiture of the Gods is indeed a matter of our East and has nothing to do with the West, so don't force us to do things against our will."

"In that case, I'll go back and disband the Jie Sect. You can do whatever you want."

After Tongtian finished speaking, he disappeared from Zixiao Palace.

The other five sages were completely dumbfounded. Even Hongjun frowned. Tongtian was a bit hard to understand. According to the deduction, the Western Sect should not have been involved in the Investiture of the Gods.

Hongjun secretly deduced what was going on with Tongtian, but to his surprise, Tongtian's fate was somewhat unpredictable and no longer as he had predicted. What had caused Tongtian's fate to change?

Even Hongjun couldn't predict the variables. The Heavenly Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is missing, which is the variable.

If the variables are not within the Heavenly Way, how can we deduce them? Could it be that one of them has escaped and fallen into the hands of Tongtian?
