Singular Sword to Multitude

Chapter 358 Jieyin's Return

Tongtian’s face turned dark upon hearing Yuanshi’s taunt.

Annoyed, Tongtian looked at Yuanshi and couldn’t help but say, “Second Brother, you’re quite skilled at tricking your brothers!”

Yuanshi smiled without a word, ignoring Tongtian.

Taishang, seeing them like this, rubbed his head with a headache.

Seeing that Yuanshi was with Taishang, Tongtian snorted and left.

After Tongtian departed, Taishang turned to Yuanshi. Yuanshi smiled and said in a low voice, “Third Brother is just temperamental for a moment. Elder Brother needn’t worry; I will handle it.”

Taishang nodded. Their brothers’ minor squabbles were one thing, but Taishang was currently busy with the Investiture of the Gods and truly had no time to manage their affairs.

“Very well. If you cause trouble, you should resolve it. I have no time to bother with you. Just make sure he doesn’t come here to cause a scene!”

Yuanshi nodded, then turned and left Taiqing Palace, heading towards Shangqing Palace.

Upon seeing Yuanshi arrive at his abode, Tongtian snorted unhappily and grumbled, “What are you here for?”

Yuanshi chuckled, smiling as he said, “What? Is Third Brother angry?”

Tongtian ignored Yuanshi, who didn’t mind and spoke,

“Third Brother!”

Tongtian glanced at Yuanshi, annoyed, and asked, “Why did you erase Bai Yao’s memories? Are you wary of me?”

Yuanshi shook his head and immediately explained, “Third Brother, you know Yao’er’s talent. I’m doing this for his own good!”

Tongtian heard this and said with a hint of doubt, “Really?”

Yuanshi immediately nodded, “Yes, absolutely. More true than Elder Brother’s Golden Elixir!”

Seeing Yuanshi’s earnest demeanor, Tongtian’s heart began to soften.

“Then what about you tricking me?”

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi began to spout nonsense.

“Third Brother, why can’t you understand Second Brother’s good intentions? Look, you went out to search for artifact refining materials, all to temper your state of mind!”

Tongtian pouted, looking unconvinced. “Don’t try to fool me. I’m already a Saint, why would I need to temper my state of mind?”

Seeing that Tongtian didn’t believe him, Yuanshi looked at the large stone vats left by Tongtian and with a wave of his hand, filled them all.

“Third Brother, see? Why would I care about this spiritual wine? It’s all for you!”

Seeing Yuanshi refill his wine vats, Tongtian recalled his outburst in front of Yuanshi and felt a little ashamed, apologizing to Yuanshi.

Yuanshi laughed heartily, unconcerned, and immediately said, “Third Brother, I need some Cold Iron Essence Gold now. I’ll trade you ten jars of spiritual wine, what do you say?”

Tongtian lowered his head in thought.

Seeing this, Yuanshi immediately added, “Third Brother, although this Cold Iron Essence Gold is not common, with your Saintly cultivation, it’s not an insurmountable task! Now, don’t think that these few jars of spiritual wine are a lot. How long will the ones Elder Brother gave you last?”

Tongtian heard this and immediately said, “Second Brother, please wait a moment. I’ll go find it for you right away! Consider it my apology to Second Brother.”

Yuanshi smiled knowingly and let Tongtian leave.

In the chaos, in an unknown place, a silver light flashed, and Jieyin appeared in the chaos. Jieyin identified his direction and immediately headed towards the Great Desolation.

On Spirit Mountain on the Indonesian continent, ever since Jieyin’s departure, Zhun Ti had been eagerly awaiting his return.

And it wasn’t just Zhun Ti who was anticipating Jieyin’s return. Both Hongjun and Luohu were also expecting him, as their hope for recovering from their injuries rested entirely on Jieyin.

After a few days, Jieyin could already see the Great Desolation. A joyous expression appeared on Jieyin’s face, and he immediately headed towards Spirit Mountain.

The moment Jieyin emerged from the chaos, Hongjun, Luohu, and Zhun Ti all felt it. Zhun Ti rushed out of Spirit Mountain without delay.

Luohu and Hongjun followed suit, also hoping that Jieyin would bring back what they needed.

Zhun Ti met Jieyin at the foot of Spirit Mountain. Seeing Jieyin’s tattered clothes, he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother, didn’t you enter the chaos to comprehend the Great Dao? Why have you become like this?”

Jieyin heard this, rubbed Zhun Ti’s head, bypassed him, and bowed to Hongjun and Luohu.

“Two seniors, I have retrieved the items you required. How can I help my Junior Brother recover with this Primordial Chaos Qingyuan Grass?”

Hongjun and Luohu, upon hearing that Jieyin had brought back the Primordial Chaos Candle Fruit, did not even hear what Jieyin had said.

Jieyin was not one for delays. He directly produced the Primordial Chaos Candle Fruit and handed it to Hongjun, then repeated what he had just said.

Hongjun heard this and immediately replied, “You only need to give that Primordial Chaos Qingyuan Grass to Zhun Ti to consume.”

Jieyin heard this, immediately came to Zhun Ti’s side, and smiled, saying, “Junior Brother, you will be able to recover from now on!”

After saying this, Jieyin immediately handed the Primordial Chaos Qingyuan Grass to Zhun Ti.

Zhun Ti had overheard the conversation between Jieyin and Hongjun. He immediately understood that Jieyin had entered the chaos to find a spiritual medicine for him, and his eyes welled up with tears of gratitude.

However, Zhun Ti couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of his recovery. Who would want to live with a broken body if they could be healed?

After receiving the Primordial Chaos Qingyuan Grass from Jieyin, Zhun Ti swallowed it in one gulp. He immediately felt a warm current spread through his limbs.

Zhun Ti felt a dull ache in his severed arm. Soon, four red lights flew out from his arm and went off into the distance.

Tongtian, who was searching for the Cold Iron Essence Gold for Yuanshi in the Great Desolation, suddenly stopped and let out a soft exclamation. He turned his gaze towards Spirit Mountain on the Indonesian continent.

Not long after Tongtian stopped, four red lights flew towards him. Tongtian casually caught them and murmured to himself, “Zhun Ti, or Zeus, possesses such divine abilities!”

Tongtian pondered whether he should go and investigate. He then re-infused the Four Killing Intents of Slaughter, Traversal, and Annihilation back into their bodies.
