The world fell silent.

Lu Ping and Huang Xiaoqi looked at the man in front of them and no longer had any doubts in their hearts.

Wasn’t he too strong?

With a flick of his sleeve, all of Huang Xiaoqi’s attacks were reduced to nothingness.

If this level of strength wasn’t that of a saint, then what was?

Lu Ping hurriedly smiled and said, “Senior Tongtian, let’s quickly enter the sect and chat!”

At this moment, Lu Ping no longer had any doubts.

“Okay!”

Tongtian followed Lu Ping into the sect without saying anything else.

Then, Tongtian said, “Let’s go to your sect’s Sun Flame Hall to chat.”

This fellow knew the Seven Phoenixes sect very well. During this period of time, he had already wandered around the Seven Phoenixes sect.

Apart from the Scripture Pavilion, he could not enter without Lu Ping’s permission. He could enter anywhere else.

Among them, the few halls built by the system surprised him the most.

After entering, they could actually isolate the Heavenly Dao. One had to know that only saints had such means.

Therefore, he was even more certain that the person standing behind Lu Ping was Hong Jun.

Lu Ping was very surprised. “You seem to be very familiar with my sect.”

“Just a little!”

Tongtian smiled slightly.

However, he didn’t mention that he had been here before.

After all, this wasn’t something worth showing off.

Lu Ping didn’t think too much about it. The internal structure of the Seven Phoenixes sect wasn’t very secretive, and the other party was a saint after all.

Knowing some things wasn’t out of his expectations.

It could even be said that Lu Ping had already guessed that Tongtian must have a purpose for looking for him.

To put it bluntly, it couldn’t be that this old man had taken a liking to him because he was handsome, right?

He was a saint, so he wouldn’t have such low-class interests.

At the same time, even if he did, Lu Ping didn’t think that he had such a charm.

The three of them soon arrived at the Sun Flame Hall.

There was a place to receive guests in the hall. Ever since he had a meal with Kong Xuan and the others, Lu Ping had prepared a set of things to receive guests here.

The three of them entered the main hall and sat down. Lu Ping looked at Tongtian and asked curiously, “May I know why you are here personally? It can’t be just to make friends with me, right?”

Lu Ping didn’t think that he was really worthy of making friends with Tongtian.

How could he know what Tongtian was thinking? At this moment, Tongtian had already regarded him and Huang Xiaoqi as candidates for future saints. That was why he had deigned to make friends with them.

Tongtian shook his head and smiled, “It’s really just to make friends with you.”

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Lu Ping stopped asking. Instead, he smiled and said, “Then I must take good care of you. I’ll get someone to prepare the dishes and wine.”

“Okay!”

Tongtian agreed immediately.

Lu Ping didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately sent a messaint to Nanny Liu.

Then, he started to chat with the Patriarch of the Heaven sect.

Although the two of them were strangers, the Patriarch of the Heaven sect was very talkative and his knowledge far surpassed Lu Ping’s. They talked from the path of cultivation all the way to the past.

Soon, the dishes and wine were served. the Patriarch of the Heaven sect laughed and said, “Today, friend, try my wine brew. I made it myself.”

Lu Ping’s wine was really not special.

Seeing the Patriarch of Heaven sect take out the wine, Lu Ping was even more expectant.

Sure enough, the Patriarch of Heaven Sect’s wine tasted much better than the Heavenly Court’s immortal brew.

After drinking for a while, the wine began to taste stronger.

He didn’t know how the Patriarch of Heaven sect made the wine, even though Lu Ping and Huang Xiaoqi were both Gold Immortals now.

However, after drinking the wine, they were still in a daze.

Due to the alcohol, Lu Ping spoke more casually.

“Patriarch of the Heaven sect, don’t you think the Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Beginning and the Grand Supreme Old Lord are on the same side as you? Why must they fight among themselves?”

The Patriarch of the Heaven sect sighed slightly and said, “A tall tree attracts the wind. If there is no conflict of interest, it is naturally because everyone is happy. However, when Hao Tian asked for someone, the Dao ancestor created this god-ascension list. At that time, Chanism had a deep conflict with the human world, and the Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Beginning did not want the Twelve Gold Immortals to be on the list. This conflict is inevitable. It has nothing to do with right or wrong. They just have different standpoints!”

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Ping and continued with a smile, “It’s the same this time. The fight between the Heavenly Court and Mount Numinous was the cause of the great calamity. However, this time, it won’t involve any living beings in the mortal world. Moreover, it’s even crueler than before. This time, the dead will be reincarnated.”

As he spoke, he looked at Huang Xiaoqi and Lu Ping with admiration. “You two didn’t hold back just now. This is a good thing. Sometimes, being too benevolent is not a good thing!”

As he said that, there was a nostalgic look in his eyes and he said, “Just like Yun Xiao. In the Nine Bends Yellow River formation, he cut off the cultivation base of the Twelve Gold Immortals of Chanism, but he didn’t kill them! He was reluctant to kill them because of the unity of the Heavenly Court and Chanism. But in the end, he died at the hands of the old and disrespectful Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Beginning. You killed decisively so that you wouldn’t be in trouble in this disaster.”

This was true. When Yun Xiao cut off the top three flowers of the Twelve Gold Immortals, she felt the Five Qi in her chest. The twelve Gold Immortals had completely turned into mortals and were trapped in the Nine Bends Yellow River formation. She wanted to kill them, but she did not, when the Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Beginning came back, he sent San Xiao to the God Ascension Roll instead.

Therefore, sometimes, it was not a bad thing to be ruthless.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Thank you for your guidance. Don’t worry, Xiaoqi and I will not hold back during the great calamity.”

That was true. No matter who he was, Lu Ping did not want to enter reincarnation before he died.
