After three rounds of wine, the disciples of the Three Teachings, who already shared good feelings for one another, grew even more familiar.
As disciples of a sage, none were petty of heart.
Even if some were, it was a Postnatal-formed trait, but with the prior feat of attacking the Demon Court to their name, the cohesion of the Three Teachings' disciples reached an unprecedented height at this moment.
Everyone gradually revealed their true selves.
Among the Seven Attendant Immortals, Qiushou Xian was the Green Lion Spirit, a rough and unrestrained man by nature.
He held a cup of wine in his hand, surrounded by many disciples of the Interception Sect.
Even Li Yuan, Yellow Dragon, and Yuding gathered around, listening to his story.
"Back then, This Daoist, Jinguang Xian, and Lingya Xian—the three of us brothers had just come down the mountain when we ran into two rogue cultivators trying to rob us, one tall and one short."
"This Daoist came from a background of robbing homes and looting houses, so I wasn't about to indulge them. The three of us went up and chopped that tall one down—made him shorter than the short one."
"Senior Brother, what about the short one?"
"He was scared to death on the spot, hahahaha!"
In an instant, the entire Dragon Palace echoed with the cheerful laughter of the Three Teachings' disciples.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, was somewhat bewildered as he asked the two beside him.
"These three junior brothers were bandits by trade?"
Yellow Dragon said cheerfully, "That's right, they were even fierce bandits. They once tried to rob the Dragon Palace but didn't break in."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, staring at the bold Qiushou Xian, and thought to himself, "The cultural education of the Three Teachings' disciples needs to be put on the agenda soon."
Just then, four figures suddenly approached with wine cups in hand.
At the lead, Ju Liusun took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and stepped forward.
"Senior Brother, we've come to toast you. Thank you for your guidance earlier; otherwise, we would surely have gone astray."
Cihang had drunk quite a bit, her cheeks flushed, and spoke softly and gently.
"Senior Brother, we truly know we were wrong."
Wenshu and Puxian also said in unison, "Senior Brother, we have truly mended our ways."
Li Yuan snapped back to attention, looked at the four, and said with a smile, "I can see it. You've all grown a lot through these years of training down the mountain."
"Every one of you has matured considerably, especially Cihang—you've grown into a big girl."
Cihang: "(⊙_⊙)?"
Big girl?
Guangchengzi nearly lost his composure, his face turning blue from holding it in.
Junior Brother Cihang was fine in every way, but this male-born-with-a-female-appearance was truly peculiar.
It was to a degree that even ordinary immortals couldn't compare.
Calling him a big girl wasn't really wrong.
"Your elder brother is very gratified. Come, let's have a toast."
Cheers~bilibili!
After downing the cup, Li Yuan patted the four on the shoulders and encouraged them, "You're all good men. Be sure to cultivate well and never tarnish the prestige of Second Martial Uncle."
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
"I can't hear you. Louder—I can't hear you. With such a small voice, you want to revive the Exposition Sect?!"
"Yes! Senior Brother!!!"
Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then moved to Yellow Dragon's side and asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother, how did that matter I entrusted to you go?"
Yellow Dragon looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then replied, "There's news. The Four Seas' water tribes are all under the Dragon Race's control, so the intelligence is very sharp."
"The Six-Eared Monkey has gone to the human race now. This information is very certain."
Li Yuan lightly patted Yellow Dragon's shoulder and said calmly, "You've worked hard, Junior Brother. One more favor—prepare a seclusion chamber for me. I'm about to break through to Golden Immortal."
Yellow Dragon's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he quickly gave the orders.
Before long, he personally brought Li Yuan into the secret chamber.
"This Daoist will personally stand guard for Senior Brother!"
He put on a bold and soaring demeanor.
Li Yuan, somewhat bewildered, looked up and cursed directly.
"Are you fucking drunk or what?"
"This is your own banquet, and you want to stand guard here?"
"Believe it or not, I'll smack you in the head with the Southern Earth Detaching Flame Light Flag—get the hell out of here."
Yellow Dragon snapped back to reality, blushed, and hurried back to the main hall, muttering under his breath.
"Drunk, drunk, really drunk."
After that, Li Yuan stayed in the secret chamber to go into seclusion, digesting his insights, while never forgetting to keep writing his diary.
[Got news on the Six-Eared Macaque. This should add another fierce general to the Three Teachings. But since the Six-Eared was scolded by the Dao Ancestor, would joining the Interception Sect bring drawbacks?]
Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian had just glanced at the updated diary and let out a cold laugh.
"Perfect. Every time I go to the Purple Cloud Palace, I get scolded by Master. This Six-Eared and my Interception Sect are fated."
"And I've been scolded by Big Brother, Second Brother, and it seems Junior Sister Nuwa has scolded me too. Am I proud of it?"
"But there's a question—how did a mere Six-Eared Macaque get scolded by Master himself?"
[The Six-Eared Macaque excels at listening—truly a top-tier divine ability. But unfortunately, he had to go eavesdrop on the Dao Ancestor's lecture. The words 'The Law is not transmitted to the Six-Eared' cut off his path of cultivation.]
Tongtian frowned slightly, and a memory suddenly surfaced in his mind—the first lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace.
"Hiss... right. It seems that before the lecture, Master suddenly smiled. That smile was quite malicious. Then he said, 'The Law is not transmitted to the Six-Eared.'"
Boom—!!!
A bolt of thunder suddenly struck down from the heavens, hitting Tongtian squarely in the Eight Scenery Palace.
Laozi sensed the familiar aura within the divine thunder and frowned as he asked.
"Are you badmouthing Master in your heart again?"
Tongtian opened his mouth slightly, exhaling black smoke as he defended himself.
"I was just complaining, just complaining..."
[Since the Six-Eared is among the humans, once I break through to Golden Immortal, I'll go back to the human race for a visit. It's good to go home often.]
Laozi's incarnation also saw the diary, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Truly a good child. Returning to the human race—worthy of the name of my Humanity Sect."
"Attaining the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit—the Pangu Physique's talent is indeed extremely powerful."
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for accumulating eight thousand years of diary writing. Received the System Critical Strike Reward!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the system reward: Supreme Treasure of Humanity—Kongtong Seal!]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immersed in his breakthrough state, Li Yuan instantly opened his eyes.
"The Kongtong Seal—a golden legend?!"
"It'll definitely get rave reviews!"
Countless tribulation thunders struck Li Yuan's body.
The thunderous Dao rhymes were primarily composed of fire, water, and earth.
Coincidentally, they perfectly matched the three laws Li Yuan had temporarily mastered.
Above Li Yuan's head, his primordial spirit manifested, resembling Pangu with eyes closed, sitting cross-legged.
Around him orbited three spheres of light representing the three laws.
At the same time, the three spheres bloomed into dazzling flowers.
Clearly representing three different laws.
After being tempered by the tribulation thunder, they returned to the primordial spirit.
Above the heavens, the River of Time appeared, spanning heaven and earth.
A wisp of True Spirit leaped forth and merged into Li Yuan's body.
The three flowers solidified completely—Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown. The Golden Immortal Dao Fruit was achieved.
Li Yuan opened his eyes, gathered his overwhelming aura, and smiled inwardly.
"Finally breaking through to Golden Immortal, leaping out of the River of Time, no longer troubled by lifespan."
"Next, I'll call my fellow disciples and return to the human race."
"To be honest, I'm a bit homesick."
