Jieyin and Zhunti: This Item is Destined for the West

"Fellow Daoists, did you mistake me for someone else?" Chu Feng asked, full of confusion.

Laozi smiled slightly and then spoke, "Senior, we would not mistake you. Our karma is intertwined, our Dao resonance connected. Our current fortune is inseparable from your past assistance."

Chu Feng became even more bewildered.

Assistance?

When did I ever help them?

This script is completely wrong.

Yuanshi nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Senior, what my eldest brother said is true."

Just then, Tongtian chuckled, "Senior, have you forgotten? We met before we even condensed our forms."

Three balls of Pure Qi origin?

Chu Feng was stunned. What Pure Qi origin? He had no recollection of it.

Tongtian sighed softly, "I was the smallest ball of Pure Qi. Back then, Senior bestowed upon me a strand of Extreme Yang Power, which helped me solidify my foundation and strengthen it somewhat."

So that's how it is!

Chu Feng's heart leaped, stirring up a tempestuous wave.

My goodness!

It was them!

Good heavens, I thought they were unconscious back then.

They were just acting!!!

I casually helped a pitiable little thing, a ball of gas I complained was underdeveloped, and it turned out to be Shangqing Tongtian?

Then the other two balls must be...

Chu Feng looked at Laozi and Yuanshi, a mix of emotions surging within him.

After the shock subsided, Chu Feng quickly regained his composure.

He put on a profound air and said, "So it was you three little ones. Seeing that you have successfully taken form and your foundations are stable today, I am relieved."

Chu Feng paused, scrutinizing them, and said, "I actually wanted to ask you for spiritual herbs back then, but you played dumb. I thought you were unconscious."

Tongtian smiled calmly, "We hadn't taken form yet back then, and we didn't know if Senior would harm us, so we could only pretend to be unconscious."

Laozi nodded slightly, "Third Brother is right. After Senior broke the formation, I also gave Senior some spiritual herbs."

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and immediately understood. He had thought those spiritual herbs were rewards for breaking the formation, but he never expected them to be gifts from them.

"Um, you are clearly women, why do you call each other brothers?" Chu Feng asked, full of confusion, not understanding the situation.

With the Three Pure Ones addressing each other as brothers, shouldn't they have taken male forms?

Upon hearing this, Laozi chuckled awkwardly, "Ever since we gained consciousness, we have always referred to each other as brothers..."

As Laozi recounted, Chu Feng understood the whole story.

The Three Pure Ones had indeed intended to take male forms. However, the Law of Yang had disappeared, and they worried they wouldn't be able to form as males.

After meeting Chu Feng and obtaining the Extreme Yang Power from him, they thought there would be no problem.

Unexpectedly, something still went wrong. During the process of taking form, the Extreme Yang Power rapidly vanished, and they could only manifest as female forms.

Of course, all of this was orchestrated by the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao wanted to study the Extreme Yang Power and ended up tricking the Three Pure Ones, the only ones in the Primordial World who could potentially take male forms, causing them to manifest as females.

Afterward, everyone chatted idly.

Zhurong ran over and interjected, saying in a gruff voice, "So you are the Fellow Daoists of the Three Pure Ones. I didn't expect you to know Fellow Daoist Chu. We were just about to go on a journey through the Primordial World. Would you like to join us?"

Nuwa and Fuxi were also interested. They had heard Chu Feng mention some events before and wanted to seek some opportunities.

Nuwa's pretty face blushed slightly, "Brother Chu, my sister and I have the same intention."

Laozi flicked his horsetail whisk and inquired, "My two brothers and I were also planning to travel through the Primordial World. Since all you fellow Daoists have the same idea, why don't we travel together?"

"Excellent!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

Immediately, they set off together to begin their journey.

Years passed in the Primordial World, unmarked by time.

Just as they had been traveling for several years, the situation took a dramatic turn.

In an instant, myriad rays of auspicious light shot into the sky, and a dazzling treasure light erupted, dyeing half the firmament red.

Endless Innate Spiritual Qi descended like sweet rain, filling the air with a fragrant aroma, and profound Daoist sounds echoed from the heavens.

"What is this?"

Yuanshi raised an eyebrow. He performed a divination, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes: "A rare treasure is emerging."

A flicker of eagerness flashed in Laozi's and Tongtian's eyes.

"This item is destined for me."

"Big Brother, I feel it too," Tongtian said.

"Since that's the case, let's search for it together," Chu Feng suggested.

The group immediately reached a consensus, their gazes turning towards Buzhou Mountain.

"So it's the Innate Gourd Vine."

Chu Feng murmured to himself, understanding instantly.

At this point in time, the Innate Gourd Vine was just appearing.

The Innate Gourd Vine, one of the ten great Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World, bore seven gourds, each a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be at Buzhou Mountain. We'll lead the way," Zhurong laughed heartily.

Nuwa and Fuxi also smiled. The rare treasure was appearing at Buzhou Mountain.

Everyone was quite pleased. Buzhou Mountain was the territory of Nuwa, Fuxi, and the Witch Clan, so this Spiritual Treasure was practically being delivered to their doorstep.

Afterward, the group set off together and soon arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

The place was crowded, a dense mass of people, with all sorts of auras intermingling.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on a hazy, indistinct purple mist swirling on the mountainside.

Within the purple mist, the outline of a vine could be vaguely seen, bearing several gourds of different colors, exuding Dao charm.

"These guys have sharper noses than dogs," Chu Feng remarked.

"Get lost, all of you!" Zhurong's fiery temper couldn't be contained.

Buzhou Mountain was their territory, and these people dared to come to their land to snatch their treasure?

Fuxi and Nuwa were also displeased. They lived on the mountainside, and Buzhou Mountain was their Dao Field.

"This Innate Gourd Vine is the legacy of our Witch Clan's Father God, Pangu, and should rightfully belong to the Witch Clan! Anyone who dares to fight for it is an enemy of the Witch Clan!" Zhurong shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Hmph! Such arrogance!"

The sound arrived before the speakers.

Two women arrived successively, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

Di Jun held the River Diagram and Luo Shu, her eyes filled with disdain.

She stared at Zhurong and sneered, "The Witch Clan? A bunch of barbarians who only know how to cultivate their bodies and have no Primordial Spirit, yet they dare to covet an Innate Spiritual Root?"

"You wretched, feathered bird, you're practically asking for death!"

Zhurong was furious, looking ready to fight at a moment's notice.

Just then, a sudden voice echoed throughout the entire area.

"Fellow Daoists, hold on. This item is destined for the West."

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw two figures appear before them: Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Destined for what? I think you're looking for a beating!" Zhurong sneered.

"Shameless wretches, daring to covet Father God's treasure?" Gonggong chimed in, agreeing with Zhurong.

Zhunti's eyes darted around, an idea forming. He called out, "Fellow Daoist Di Jun, Fellow Daoist Taiyi! The Witch Clan is barbaric and overbearing, wanting to monopolize this supreme treasure. Let us join forces, drive back the Witch Clan, and then we can discuss how to handle this Gourd Vine!"
