This kid, is he going to get into some big trouble again?

"Isn't this Master Tongtian here?"

Shi Yuan laughed and said, "It's all thanks to the teacher's brilliant planning and foresight in setting up the secret signal in advance."

"The teacher is wise!"

When he went to the Tushita Palace earlier, he actually visited the Biyou Palace to pay homage to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

On that occasion, he basically told his sage teacher about the general outline of his plan.

After all, without the approval of the Tongtian Sect Master, Shi Yuan would not have been able to make such a big fuss.

It was during that visit that Tongtian Jiaozhu and Shiyuan established several secret codes.

Interestingly, these codes were set by the saint and his disciple.

But in reality, it contained not a trace of magic power.

They simply used barely perceptible subtle body movements as signals.

The reason is quite simple.

"Whether it's telepathy or any other supernatural power or technique, it's meaningless before a sage."

"A sage can distort and modify even the words you wish to convey with just a single thought."

This is what the Tongtian Sect Leader taught Shiyuan back then.

"Therefore, it is best to use subtle physical movements as a code."

Even if a sage notices these subtle movements with his divine sense, he might not give them much thought.

This time, it was this little code that prompted the Tongtian Sect Leader to take the action of "stopping the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag" as before.

They also took the opportunity to set up restrictions on the Wuji Xinghuang Banner.

This misled Yuanshi Tianzun, making him believe that the changes in the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner were the work of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Shi Yuan's flattery pleased the Tongtian Sect Leader greatly.

"Alright, alright—enough with the idle chatter!"

The Grand Master of Heaven waved his hand gently and smiled, "You did a good job this time."

He sighed slightly.

This successful scheme against the Chan Sect undoubtedly gave him a sense of relief.

"It's just a minor skirmish."

Shi Yuan indeed humbly replied.

"..."

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt that familiar feeling of speechlessness return.

Minor skirmishes?

If this is just a minor skirmish, then only a cataclysmic event like the eons of destruction could be considered a major disturbance.

"Now that your Seeking the Dao Pavilion is complete, why don't you plan to take it away?"

However, he was concerned about his disciple's occasional Versailles-style remarks.

The Master of Heaven was used to it.

So that's all he asked.

When the "Seeking the Dao Pavilion" was mentioned, even the Tongtian Sect Leader could not hide the hint of amazement in his words.

Just like Lao Tzu.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was naturally aware that the Seeking the Dao Pavilion was an innate spiritual treasure.

Or to be more precise.

This magical treasure was personally crafted by the Tongtian Sect Leader at Shi Yuan's request not long ago!

Therefore, the Tongtian Sect Leader was most aware of its preciousness.

The gold and jade used to build the pavilion of the Seeking the Dao are all mixed with the breath soil of the Nine Heavens.

The main structure and pillars of the pavilion are based on a sacred laurel tree.

In addition, there is the unique "Primordial Qi" provided by Shiyuan Realm.

The Tongtian Sect Leader did not know how Shi Yuan obtained the Moon Laurel Divine Tree and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

All he knew was that the Seeking the Dao Pavilion was created the very first moment.

In fact, it can be considered a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

However, Shi Yuan took the initiative to ask Tongtian Jiaozhu not to complete it.

It was merely refined into a semi-finished spiritual treasure!

Its purpose was to ensure that Laozi would be recognized as a sage this time!

He wanted to use the fortune and merits gained by Laozi, as well as the great power of the sages in their rightful positions, to refine the treasure!

This behavior is so bold, and the thinking behind it can only be described as wildly imaginative.

But ironically, it was Shi Yuan who made it.

"The Seeking the Way Pavilion gained two-fold merit and fortune from Lao Dan's attainment of sainthood, and it itself was also imbued with the literary spirit of the world by the entry of countless sages into the pavilion."

As the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke, he also looked at Shi Yuan.

"If we retrieve it, it will undoubtedly be another top-grade innate spiritual treasure... perhaps even exceptionally extraordinary within its grade!"

"You brat, are you still not satisfied?"

Upon hearing Tongtian Jiaozhu's words, Shiyuan nodded without hesitation.

"I am indeed not satisfied."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not surprised at all.

He remained silent for a moment before speaking softly, "Is it because of what you said before, the person who will emerge in the mortal world decades from now?"

"Um."

Shi Yuan nodded again without hesitation.

A top-grade innate spiritual treasure?

not enough!

"It's because of him."

"So that the teacher may know—this time, the Grand Master's transformation into Lao Dan and his ascension to the position of sage has already stirred up a great trend in the human world."

"But compared to that person decades later... he's still somewhat lacking!"

He said it directly.

He was determined to have that sage who was about to be born in the State of Lu.

Don't forget—he initially chose to settle down and establish his Taoist temple at Yuanquan Mountain in the State of Lu.

What he was referring to was that sage, the 340th.

He made even more preparations in advance, especially taking advantage of this opportunity.

Therefore, his words at this moment were naturally full of confidence.

"That's enough."

Although this was not the first time Tongtian Jiaozhu had heard Shiyuan mention this matter.

But upon hearing this, it was still somewhat difficult to understand.

The kind of divinely ordained sages that Shi Yuan spoke of were people whose birthplaces even they, as sages, could not foresee.

They can only calculate it when the other party's destiny is about to begin.

However, his disciple confidently predicted the other party's appearance a hundred years in advance.

That's nothing compared to what's to come.

After all, the Tongtian Sect Leader was already aware of Shiyuan's uniqueness.

He even had some guesses about Shi Yuan's background.

But the key point is that Shi Yuan explicitly stated the changes and influence that sage brought to the world.

He is even more superior than Laozi's incarnation, Lao Dan.

This was somewhat beyond the comprehension of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Can a sage on earth surpass an incarnation of a saint?

He had never considered such a situation.

But as I said before...

"Since you have such a plan in mind... I will not say more."

The Master of Heaven would not exert much control over his special disciple.

"And the good fortune and merits you have gained this time... you may use them for yourself."

It's not hard to hear this in his words.

The Master of the Heavens actually had some guesses about Shi Yuan's "opportunity".

At least he knew that Shi Yuan's "opportunity" seemed to require a lot of merit and good fortune.

"Thank you so much, teacher!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan naturally did not refuse.

Finally, the Master of Heaven spoke again.

"Furthermore... I will not ask where your golden solar flames and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil come from."

"However, these two items are of great importance and will most likely attract the attention of Nuwa Palace."

"If you can't find a good reason, just say that it was given to you by your teacher."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan understood immediately.

The golden flames of the sun hold special significance for the demon race, serving as a symbol of the Demon Emperor clan.

The Nine Heavens Breath Soil is also closely related to that demon saint.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Nuwa, the goddess of the Nuwa Palace, will summon him in a few days.

The meaning of Tongtian Jiaozhu's words is that if Shiyuan cannot find a good reason to explain his "opportunity".

Then we can just pin the blame on the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Otherwise, it might cause some trouble.

After all, that demon saint hardly ever interfered in the affairs of the Three Realms.

However, he has never given up on matters concerning the demon race.

"Rest assured, Sage Teacher."

Shi Yuan naturally smiled and thanked the Master of Heaven for his words.

"As for the Nuwa Palace, this disciple also intended to seek an audience with the Goddess Nuwa."

"This has conveniently provided an excuse; it's not a bad thing."

He was surprised to learn that his disciple had long intended to pay homage to the Goddess Nuwa.

The Master of Heaven also had a subtle expression.

"Is this kid going to get himself into some serious trouble again?"
