"Master Tongtian, you are finally here. Daozu has been waiting for you in Zixiao Palace for a long time..."

Master Tongtian had just arrived outside the gate of Zixiao Palace, and before he had time to step into the door of the Zixiao Palace, he heard a voice coming from nearby.

Master Tongtian heard the voice and looked over.

But he saw a man wearing a golden dragon python robe and an imperial crown on his head standing in the middle of the Zixiao Palace's dojo, staring at him with a sharp gaze.

"Master, does he know that I will come?"

Tongtian Patriarch asked with a frown.

He recognized the man in the python robe in front of him. He was the boy under his master, named Haotian!
The other party has been staying in Zixiao Palace since he started practicing.

Countless years have passed now.

He devoted himself to the Taoist master.

Although he is not a direct disciple of Daozu, he is also highly regarded by Daozu.

"The Taoist master ordered me to wait here to welcome the leader. Please follow me..."

Haotian replied indifferently, then turned and walked towards the Zixiao Palace.

"Then it's all your fault!"

Master Tongtian didn't say much and followed him into the Zixiao Palace.

The two walked through the well-arranged pavilions and towers in the Zixiao Palace, and finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary open space.

at this time.

For some reason, Master Tongtian suddenly felt a sense of fear.

He looked around and found that he had never been to this place before, and he couldn't help but become a little alert.

"Haotian, why did you stop here? Where are the masters and others?"

Although he had some doubts in his mind, since this was his master's temple, Tongtian didn't think too much about it.

After all, no one in this world dares to play tricks in his master's temple.

"Don't worry, Master. The matter that Daozu wants to discuss with you this time is more important. He is waiting for you in the barrier ahead. You will know when you enter..."

Haotian stood firm, raised his hand and waved it forward gently.

next second.

I saw complicated runes flashing in the open space in front of him, and then interweaved into an invisible net.

Master Tongtian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn't expect that there was a formation restriction in this Zixiao Palace.

Master Tongtian walked forward and carefully examined the forbidden barrier.

I saw spiritual energy surging in this formation, but it seemed to be firmly locked by some force and unable to leak out.

It looks like a space formation used to isolate all external auras!

"Could it be that Master is worried that what he wants to talk to me about might be overheard by others, so he deliberately set up a formation barrier here?"

"But the question is...Who in the Three Realms and Six Paths dares to spy on Master's Purple Sky Palace?"

"Could it be that... this matter is related to the disappearance of Senior Brother Taishang?"

Patriarch Tongtian stood outside the barrier and began to ponder.

Because of his vigilance, he did not step into the barrier immediately.

This made Haotian, who was standing next to him, stunned for a moment.

"Master Tongtian, Daozu has been waiting for you in the barrier for a long time, you should go in quickly..."

Haotian slightly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, but there was no politeness in his tone.

"understood."

Master Tongtian hesitated for a moment, but finally took a step and walked in.

however.

Just at the moment he stepped into the formation barrier.

Suddenly, many black chains emerged from the void surrounding the barrier.

"Chains of the Great Dao? Master, you..."

Master Tongtian was shocked.

He hurriedly activated his cultivation to avoid the chains. But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that his cultivation had been completely sealed.

"What's going on? Could it be that this formation restriction is not used to block space, but to block my cultivation?"

Just when Tongtian Sect Master was stunned.

Those chains had already climbed up his body like spirit snakes, and then directly entangled his hands, feet, and neck.

By the time Tongtian Sect Master reacted.

His body has been completely trapped in this formation barrier.

"Master... why are you doing this?"

Master Tongtian roared with gritted teeth.

He didn't know why his master set up this formation to lure him into the game.

But he knew it very well.

This place is full of dangers, and I must not just sit there and wait for death.

We must find a way to break through the shackles of these avenue chains!
"Master, if you want to punish me, you have to give a reason, right?"

"You want to imprison me here without saying a word. I don't accept it..."

The voice of Master Tongtian was like rolling thunder, spreading out continuously.

The surrounding formation space was affected by his voice and actually began to vibrate slightly.

Seeing this, Haotian, who was standing outside the formation barrier, hurriedly performed a seal and began to reinforce the formation barrier.

At the same time, he did not forget to shout loudly to Tongtian Patriarch in the formation barrier: "Tongtian Patriarch, Daozu did this for his own reasons. I hope you can understand that he did this to protect you..."

"To protect me? Hahaha~ Then why didn't he come to tell me in person, but let you pass the message to me?"

After hearing Haotian's words, Tongtian's anger suddenly became even greater.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes were red, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Streams of warm blood gushed out of his body, flowing upstream along his meridians and gathering in the palms of his hands.

These essences and blood contain Master Tongtian’s own vitality and cultivation.

He even used his own blood and essence as a guide to forcibly break through the seal on his cultivation level imposed by the barrier.

at the same time.

A faint red light instantly emanated from Tongtian Sect Master’s body.

The red light enveloped him like a blood-colored shield, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness of the avenue chains.

"Break it for me!"

Master Tongtian shouted loudly and struggled with both hands.

“——Crash!!!”

There was a sound of iron chains shaking.

The chains wrapped around his limbs and neck showed signs of loosening as he struggled desperately, as if they would break at any time.

however……

Just when Tongtian Sect Master was about to break free from his restraints.

In the void around him, more chains of the Great Dao suddenly appeared.

The chains wrapped around him even more tightly like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, tying him up as tightly as a dumpling.

Tongtian Sect Master's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which was caused by excessive consumption of his essence and blood.

"The suppression of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Master... Did you really take action?"

There was a flash of unwillingness in Tongtian Sect Master's eyes. He tried to mobilize the remaining strength in his body again, but found that even the most basic circulation of his spiritual power had become extremely difficult.

This formation restriction seems to have become even more powerful in sealing his cultivation!

"Master, why do you treat me like this? Has Senior Brother Taishang also been imprisoned by you in this way?..."

After struggling in vain, Tongtian Jiaozhu finally had no choice but to give up resistance.

He didn't understand why his master treated him like this.
