Just as Laozi and Primordial were busy and fully occupied in gathering disciples, Tongtian was not idle either.

That day, after leaving Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian rode the Kui ox eastward.

On this eastward journey, Tongtian leisurely traveled to the coast of the East Sea and observing the bustling activities of the Human Clan, he nodded and muttered to himself: “The Human Clan has only emerged a few thousand years ago, and yet it has developed to such an extent.

Truly worthy of being the protagonists ordained by Heaven!”

Just then, he suddenly saw over the distant East Sea a fleeting burst of radiant treasure light.

Tongtian’s eyes gleamed with delight, and he exclaimed, “I didn’t expect such good fortune just by following my heart!

Excellent, excellent!”

With that said, he spurred the Kui ox towards the distant island.

In the blink of an eye, Tongtian arrived above the island.

Before he could investigate closely, he heard a string of curses coming from below: “Damn it, it failed again!

Why is it another defective product?”

Tongtian grew curious, and couldn’t help but descend from the clouds to see for himself.

He then saw on the island below a slightly plump young Daoist in a gray robe, holding a horsetail whisk that radiated multicolored light and swearing thunderously.

Sensing something, the chubby Daoist suddenly turned around and saw Tongtian looking at him with a warm smile.

Glancing further back at the Qingping Sword on Tongtian’s back, his eyes lit up even more.

Tongtian found the chubby lad before him quite amusing.

Mentally calculating, he thought to himself that this chubby lad indeed had some background.

It turned out that this chubby Daoist was actually the transformed form of the Innate Spiritual Treasure “Seven-Colored Exquisite Treasure Pagoda”.

Originally, this pagoda was the life-bound Supreme Treasure of the Chaotic Demon God, Duo Bao Ancestor, during the opening of the heavens by Pan Gu God.

When Duo Bao Ancestor perished, the Treasure Pagoda also degraded in level, and after nurturing through several Primordial Meetings, it transformed into this form.

From birth, he possessed the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, demonstrating excellent potential.

His original form specialized in seeking, collecting, and refining treasures.

This chubby Daoist, with a naive nature, inherited these characteristics from his original form and loved refining treasures.

Tongtian couldn’t help but rejoice, suddenly realizing that this chubby lad even had a destined mentor-disciple relationship with him, fitting to be his premier disciple under his guidance.

“Hey!

You, the Daoist over there!” the chubby lad called out to Tongtian in a simple and honest tone, “Could you let me take a look at that sword on your back?”

For a moment, Tongtian was speechless, realizing he wasn’t as attractive as his Qingping Sword!

Seeing Tongtian silent, the chubby lad thought he was being rejected and hurriedly said, “I won’t just look at your sword for nothing!

I’ll give you something in return, anything you want!”

With that, he lightly flicked his voluminous gray robe sleeve, and a large array of magic treasures tumbled out.

Knives and forks, swords and halberds, axes and hooks, spears and lances, gourds and jade bottles, folding fans and scrolls—you name it!

Instantly, a whirl of colorful lights enveloped the whole island.

Although abundant, these treasures were considered junk in Tongtian’s eyes, though there were some fine pieces among them that seemed to be naturally nurtured by Heaven and Earth, probably not crafted by him.

Narrowing his eyes, Tongtian warmly said, “You want to see my sword?

Just take me as your master, and not only this sword but all these items will be yours to see, no problem!”

Saying so, thousands of magic treasures appeared before Tongtian, clearly more advanced than those of the chubby Daoist.

The chubby lad’s eyes shone as he looked at the thousand magic treasures before Tongtian.

Without a second thought, he eagerly nodded, “I’ll take you as my master!” and he reached out to grab the treasures on the ground.

Tongtian’s expression darkened, muttering to himself, “Doesn’t this guy even know how to properly become a disciple?” Then he quickly collected the treasures from the ground and said, “Chubby lad, I ask you!

Do you have a name?”

The chubby lad, still lost in the glimmer that had just vanished, mechanically shook his head, “No!”

“Your name shall be Duobao!” Tongtian suddenly proclaimed loudly, “Is that acceptable?”

Duobao’s slightly plump body shuddered and he bowed deeply, “Disciple Duo Bao greets Master.

Thank you, Master, for granting me a name!”

Tongtian then nodded in satisfaction, drew the Qingping Sword from behind him, and handed it to Duo Bao, “My disciple, I am Tongtian Sect Leader, an Upper Qing Saint!

You must cultivate diligently and not tarnish the name of your master!”

Duo Bao, the chubby lad, absentmindedly touched the Qingping Sword in his hands, nodding nonchalantly.

Seeing Duo Bao’s attitude, Tongtian helplessly shook his head, gestured Duo Bao to follow, mounted the Kui ox again, and continued eastward.

On their journey eastward, Tongtian deliberately slowed his pace, guiding Duo Bao Xiao Pang Zi in his cultivation while searching for disciples among the spiritual creatures.

One day, they reached a lush, spirit-rich island in the midst of a dense forest.

Duo Bao looked at the slightly eerie forest and said, “Master, what good food could there possibly be in this forsaken place?

I think we should look elsewhere!”

Tongtian chuckled and replied, “You little fatty, all you think about is cultivating treasures and eating!

Since we’re here on this island, there’s a purpose.

Go catch some seafood from the sea; I want to eat grilled fish!”

At the mention of food, Duo Bao’s eyes lit up with excitement, and he vigorously nodded his head before plunging into the sea.

In no time, Duo Bao emerged holding a plump-headed fish about a meter long and stepped onto the shore.

“Find a spot upwind and grill the fish!” instructed Tongtian as he slightly lifted his eyelids.

“Yes!” replied Duo Bao enthusiastically, finding an excellent spot for the grill he quickly set up and began grilling the fish.

True to his slightly portly form, he had a deep understanding and appreciation for the art of eating.

In just a time of a tea, the delicious aroma of the fish spread with the breeze.

“Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!”

Suddenly, the sound of wings fluttering through the air reached their ears.

Tongtian cryptically smiled to himself and murmured, “Here it comes!”

A giant Golden Cicada appeared, shimmering brilliantly under the sun, its dazzling radiance nearly blinding.

Surprisingly, the Golden Cicada had big watery eyes and lacked sharp mouthparts, resembling a herbivorous insect.

“Woo woo woo!” The Golden Cicada flew around Duo Bao, emitting woeful cries and its big, watery eyes filled with moisture, looking much like a beggar child, evoking pity.

Duo Bao, feeling sympathetic, petted the Golden Cicada’s head and threw a big chunk of fish in front of it.

The Golden Cicada joyfully wriggled its body and swallowed the fish in one gulp, fluttering its tiny wings rapidly, eyes filled with delight.

Tongtian’s eyes flashed with golden light, thinking to himself, “God-slaying Golden Cicada!

Oh heavens, you really treat me lightly!”

Suddenly appearing beside Duo Bao, the Golden Cicada was startled.

Its keen instincts told it that the creature before it was extremely dangerous.

In a fright, it quickly darted behind Duo Bao, only peeking out with one big eye at Tongtian.

Tongtian, feeling a bit awkward, touched his nose and said to the Golden Cicada, “Little one, would you like to be my disciple?

If you do, you’ll have delicious food every day!” He pointed to the plump-headed fish Duo Bao had just grilled, saying, “All these could be yours!”

Duo Bao watched Tongtian silently, deeply mourning for the Golden Cicada.

Just a few days ago, hadn’t he been lured into discipleship by Tongtian using the same method?

“Woo woo!” Hearing about food, the Golden Cicada hesitated for a long while, then flew out from behind Duo Bao, landed on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Tongtian.

Tongtian couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter, raised his right hand, and pointed at the Golden Cicada’s head.

The Golden Cicada felt as if thunderclaps were resonating in its brain, as chaotic information sealed for countless eons from Primordial Heaven and Earth flooded in.

Simultaneously, the spiritual energy from the outside world began to surge violently.

Endless Sharp Gold Qi, like a golden dragon, burrowed into the Golden Cicada’s massive body.

Suddenly, the sky filled with dark clouds and countless lightning bolts darted through them—the oppressive atmosphere nearly suffocating.

“Transformation Tribulation!”

Dark, dense clouds pressed down from the void, with relentless flashes of lightning zigzagging through them; a deep purple vortex continuously emitted thunder and lightning, its violent aura intensifying.

“Boom!”

The vortex in the sky, fully formed, strikingly resembled the Eye of Divine Punishment in the Heavenly Tribulation.

Duo Bao’s heart trembled, thinking to himself, “What heavenly defying act has this Golden Cicada committed for the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation to actually form?”

Tongtian frowned slightly and said, “This God-slaying Golden Cicada was originally a fierce beast of the Primordial times, which by chance gained spiritual intelligence.

The transformation of such fierce beasts is not tolerated by Heaven and Earth!

It seems, indeed, my disciple is destined for a tumultuous fate.”
