Chapter 33: Unexpected Summoning (Part 2) (Second Update Seeking Support)

  "Presumptuously asking a question, Master Shu, have you calculated everything?" Shen Gongbao said slowly.

  "The heavenly machine is obscure and difficult to understand, and it's constantly changing. Who dares to say they already know everything? Especially now that we're in the early stages of the kalpa. Before and after the kalpa, the heavenly machine is even more obscure, and no one dares to say they've understood everything." The Tianxian Sect Master said calmly, "However, I have calculated that there is a great causal relationship between you and my sect."

  After a moment of contemplation, Shen Gongbao said: "Fei Xiong entered the dream, I and Jiang Ziya are both people who have been sealed by the gods, only Jiang Ziya is in the light, while I am that person in the dark."

  The Tongtian Sect Master nodded and smiled, saying: "Yuanshi is indeed a good strategist, with one light and one dark. Previously, I only knew that Jiang Ziya was the Sealing God, but I didn't know that Yuanshi would use his divine power to stir up chaos in heaven, making us all unaware of your existence. If it wasn't for seeing you, under the guidance of the heavenly mechanism, I would still be kept in the dark until now."

  Then, Tongtian Sect Master burst into loud laughter: "However, Yuanshi's plan was thorough, yet he forgot that there is a sentimental object in the world. You actually have feelings for Yunxiao and let you come to my Jinyao Island, which is a fortunate event for my sect. In this case, I will make it clear to Yuanshi's plan and make him see clearly. How could he be so ungrateful for the friendship of the Three Purities and not be a good son!"

  Seeing Tongtian Sect Master's angry face, Shen Gongbao was greatly shocked in his heart. If Tongtian Sect Master changed the plan and no longer ordered the disciples to seal the mountain for quiet cultivation, it was unknown what kind of changes would be brought about.

  "What does Master Shen plan to do?" asked Sheng Gongbao in a low voice.

  "Just let Yuan Shi take the loss, and that's it. He can ignore the friendship of the Three Purities, but I, Tong Tian, cannot. After all, 'the red flower, white lotus, and green lotus leaf are originally from the same family'!"

  "What a great justice!" Sheng Gong Bao exclaimed, his head bowed in admiration. Despite knowing about Yuanshi's plot, Tongtian Teach's leader remained calm and composed, truly worthy of being the most magnanimous and open-minded among all saints.

  The Tongtian Sect Master continued, "I won't interfere with what's going on between you and Yun Xiao. However, since you were expelled by Yuanshi, I'm afraid you'll never have the chance to return to Kunlun Yuxu again. I don't think it's worth letting you be a double agent either. So, I'll take you as my disciple, of the same generation as Yun Xiao. You won't need to bear the name of 'Abandoned Disciple' anymore. As for Yuanshi, I'll go and explain things clearly. This way, we can also satisfy Yuanshi's intentions and settle his calculations."

  Shen Gong Bao's face turned pale as he listened, his head throbbing with pain. He had just escaped from the Xuan Jiao sect, and now the Tian Xiang sect leader himself wanted to take him on as a disciple - how could he refuse?

  Shen Gong Bao hesitated and did not respond for a long time. Tian Xian saw this and asked, "What's going on?"

  "Master," said Shen Gongbao, plucking up his courage, "can you refuse?"

  "Oh? Why?"

  Shen Gong Bao gently stroked his robe and said: "Master, are you aware of the danger of being cut off from the teachings?"

  Nodding his head, Tongtian Sect Master said: "Wanxian came to pay respects, provoking jealousy in others!"

  Shen Gong Bao said, "Excuse my straightforward words, this is one aspect, the second is that the teachings have been cut off. Although many immortals come to pay their respects, there are indeed some true immortals like Duobao and Zhao Gongming, as well as Sanxiao, but there are also some with poor character."

  "Indeed!" Tianxian Sect Master nodded in agreement, Tianxian Sect Master was quite open-minded and didn't just say that all his disciples were good people, he frankly acknowledged that the situation within his sect was indeed as Shen Gongbao had said.

  Shen Gong Bao continued, "At this time, the Sealing God's Calamity is a perfect opportunity to rectify the upper and lower realms of the Intercepting Sect, eliminating those with poor character."

  "League of Gods?"

  "It's settled, send them to the top of the list. In this way, we can also eliminate the danger of being intercepted, let the interceptors have a big 'weight loss', and shift some people's attention elsewhere, no longer focusing on the interceptors." Shen Gongbao didn't dare mention Yuanshi Tianzun explicitly, otherwise, the saint's ability would be affected, even if others called out his own name, he could still sense it, being careful to avoid the thousand-year-old ship.

  "They are all under my gate, but this has cut off their path to immortality. From now on, they can only take the path of divinity!" Tianyun Sect Master sighed.

  "No, Master, these people of poor character, with your divine abilities, wouldn't you know that they are fundamentally unable to attain the Dao of Immortality? Now, letting them embark on the path of the gods is also a blessing for them." Sheng Gong Bao said calmly.

  After a long while, Tongtian Sect Master nodded and said: "Alright then, let's do it your way. Those with poor character will be sent to the Sealing God List!"

  Shen Gong Bao let out a bitter laugh and said, "This matter is indeed the mission bestowed upon me by Heaven. To be the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes would only lead to the disciples of Jie Jiao Sect harboring resentment towards me. If I were to join Jie Jiao Sect, it would disrupt the harmonious atmosphere of unity and friendship within the sect."

  "Haha, so you were worried about this. You can rest assured, the people under my tutelage are not narrow-minded. Once they understand everything, they will naturally appreciate your kind intentions."

  Shen Gong Bao scratched his head awkwardly and hesitated, saying: "Actually, I have another reason. After becoming sworn brothers with Yun Xiao, I'm afraid she will thoroughly treat me as a brother, and then... uh..."

  Seeing Shen Gong's hesitant appearance, the Tianxian Sect Master smiled repeatedly and said after a moment: "Alright, if you don't want to join, then don't join."

  He paused for a moment, and only saw the Lord of Tongtian say solemnly: "It's just that things are too big here, not to mention my humble self. Since you don't join my sect, how can I truly believe in you?"

  Shen Gong Bao said: "Good, it's about the great teachings, the master is like this too, it's normal human emotions!"

  Then Shengong Bao pointed to the sky and vowed: "The way of heaven is above, now Shengong Bao makes a vow here, in the seal of the gods, I must use all my strength to assist Jie Dao in overcoming difficulties. If I violate this oath, at the end of the kalpa, Shengong Bao will surely turn into dust!"

  Anyway, I originally intended to help the Intercept School with all my might. In that case, it doesn't matter if the oath is poisonous or not. As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Gongbao felt that his body seemed to have an invisible lock on himself, and his own oath had taken effect. If one day he violated this oath, he would inevitably be punished by the Heavenly Way.

  "But being able to get the support of the Tongtian Sect Master, everything is worth it! Hehe..." Shen Gongbao thought to himself with a pleased heart.

  Tongtian Sect Master nodded, and then Shen Gongbao heard a loud "whoosh" sound. A giant sword with a cyan glow suddenly appeared in Tongtian Sect Master's hand, which was his treasured sword Qingping Sword.

  Only to see the Tongtian Sect Master lightly waved his hand, holding the Qingping Sword, and drew a few strokes in the void. After that, he said: "Today's affairs I will confuse the heavenly machine, you can't talk about it with anyone after you leave, so before the end of the calamity, no one can understand everything."

  "Don't worry, Master, I'm awake."

  Then the Tongtian Sect Master ordered the child to send Shen Gong Bao away, and called Yun Xiao. Seeing Tongtian Sect Master smiling, he said: "Yun Xiao, take Shen Gong Bao back for now, if there's anything he doesn't understand during his cultivation, you can guide him properly, haha! This kid is not bad!"

  Yun Xiao had been harboring doubts all along, and seeing his teacher so happy, he asked: "Teacher, why did you call Sheng Gong Bao Dao friend here today?"

  The head of Tongtian Jiaozhu's beloved Dianyun Xiao said, "After cultivating for many years, wouldn't you know the principle that 'heavenly secrets cannot be revealed'?"

  Yun Xiao smiled and said: "Can't you reveal a little bit?"

  The Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Of course!" Then he continued, "I'm to blame for spoiling you three sisters too much. You're still okay, relatively mature and steady. But Qiong Xiao is a mischievous and cunning one, sometimes steady, sometimes as playful and troublesome as Bi Xiao, causing endless headaches."

  Although he was blaming San Xiao, one could tell that the Tian Xian Sect Master was not really angry from his smiling face. With many disciples under him, only San Xiao dared to be so playful with himself, which had a unique flavor and showed the master-disciple relationship.

  "Hehe, that's too good for the teacher!"

  "Go, go, take Shen Gongbao away! Cultivate well, especially Bi Xiao, don't let her get entangled in the red dust of worldly affairs."

  "Yes, teacher, Yun Xiao takes his leave!"

  In the depths of the clouds, Shen Gong Bao and Yun Xiao were walking side by side, driving a auspicious cloud to fly slowly, but Yun Xiao was staring at Shen Gong Bao with an odd expression, sizing him up constantly, making Shen Gong Bao feel somewhat uneasy.

  After a long time, Shen Gong Bao finally broke the silence. He heard Shen Gong Bao cough slightly twice before saying: "Yun Xiao Dao friend, there's something I'd like to ask you directly. You're staring at me in such an eerie way that it makes me feel quite embarrassed."

  "Hmph......" Yun Xiao saw Shen Gong Bao's flustered appearance and couldn't help but let out a playful laugh, her trembling body drawing several beautiful scenery lines, causing Shen Gong Bao to daze and lose himself in them.

  "Shen Dao, what does the teacher want with you?" Yun Xiao called back Shen Gongbao who was lost in thought, asking curiously, a pair of beautiful eyes blinking at Shen Gongbao, almost making him reveal everything.

  Wiping away cold sweat, Shen Gong Bao whispered: "This usually mature and steady Yun Xiao suddenly became playful, and his charm was even greater than Bi Xiao's!"

  After a slight adjustment of his emotions, Shen Gong said in a steady voice: "Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao, the heavenly secret must not be revealed!"

  "Hmm!" Yun Xiao let out a light hum, and immediately stopped asking questions, flying forward on his own. Shen Gongbao was extremely embarrassed, as this matter was too big, and he had also made a poisonous oath, which absolutely could not be spoken of.

  Helpless, he could only look ahead and chase after him, his heart also muttering to itself: "This Yun Xiao won't really get angry, will he?"
