Lin Shen happily drank the Dragon Phoenix Soup stewed by his Third Master, Tongtian Jiaozhu.
The little fellow's belly was stuffed full, like a little ball.
After eating for a while, he let out a satisfied, milky burp.
"Burp~" Just as he was about to get down and play with the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Mechanism Box his Second Master had given him, he heard his Eldest Master, The Grand Pure One Laozi, speak.
"We have a visitor."
A visitor?
Lin Shen tilted his little head, his big eyes rolling around.
Was it another kind person coming to bring him delicious food and fun toys?
He licked the leftover broth from the corner of his mouth, his small eyes sparkling.
However, his three masters' expressions were completely different.
"A visitor?"
Tongtian Jiaozhu tossed the large iron ladle in his hand back into the pot.
"Clang!"
The loud noise shook the entire Yuxu Palace.
He stood up, clapped his hands, a dangerous smile on his face.
"Showing up at this juncture, are they here to congratulate us, or to probe our strengths and weaknesses?"
He had just broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and was itching for a fight.
He couldn't wait for some clueless fool to come knocking.
So he could test the power of his newly comprehended sword techniques.
Yuanshi Tianzun, on the other hand, cast a faint glance beyond Kunlun Mountain.
His voice betrayed no emotion.
"Those who come with ill intentions are not welcome."
"But since they are here, there's no reason for Kunlun Mountain to turn them away."
Despite his words, the arrogance ingrained in his bones couldn't be hidden.
Now, they had all attained the Primordial realm.
With the three brothers united, who in the entire Primordial World could they fear?
Even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself arrived, they would be qualified to sit as equals!
"It's the old ancestors of the three tribes."
The Grand Pure One Laozi's gaze pierced through the endless void.
He saw the scene outside Kunlun Mountain with perfect clarity.
He stroked his long beard, a knowing smile appearing on his face.
"It seems they've finally understood."
The Dragon-Phoenix Calamity had been quelled because of Lin Shen.
And the Three Pure Ones had used this opportunity to attain the Primordial realm.
This series of earth-shattering changes was enough to make any great power in the Primordial World re-evaluate their standing.
Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Kirin, these three former overlords, were now choosing to arrive together.
Their intentions were self-evident.
"The old ancestors of the three tribes?"
Tongtian Jiaozhu curled his lips, a hint of disdain on his face.
"These three scoundrels plunged the Primordial World into chaos, causing so many deaths."
"Now that the situation has changed, they've come crawling to us?"
"If it weren't for our little disciple calming the Calamity, I would have drawn my sword and gone to their lairs!"
"And had a good talk with them!"
Tongtian Jiaozhu harbored no good feelings towards these three culprits who had instigated the great war.
"Third Brother, calm yourself."
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke.
"The Calamity is the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and the three tribes were born to meet it, unable to control themselves."
"Now that the Calamity has passed, their coming to pay their respects is a sign of their wisdom."
"As Pangu's True Lineage, we should have the magnanimity to accept others."
Although he also looked down on the three tribes' past actions.
but they cared more about status and rules.
Since they had humbled themselves to come here, they couldn't just turn them away.
Wouldn't that be a disgrace to Kunlun Mountain?
"Second Brother is right, it's too good of them," Tongtian Jiaozhu grumbled a couple of times, but didn't say anything more.
Lin Shen listened from the side, completely confused.
The Ancestors of the Three Tribes?
Was that the beautiful big bird with wings?
And that big mudfish with a long beard?
And that big dog covered in scales?
He had seen them in the water mirror conjured by his masters' spells.
They were coming?
Were they here to give gifts?
Lin Shen's eyes lit up instantly.
He took his short little legs and ran to The Grand Pure One Laozi's side.
He tugged at his daoist robe.
"Yiya? Yaya!"
(Master, are they here to give us delicious food?)
The Grand Pure One Laozi looked down at his young disciple's eyes, full of longing.
He couldn't help but laugh.
He bent down, picked Lin Shen up, and tapped his little nose with his finger.
"You little glutton, you're thinking about eating again right after you just ate."
"Don't worry, they wouldn't dare come empty-handed."
Hearing this, Lin Shen happily swung his short legs.
Great!
More new snacks!
The three masters looked at his innocent and carefree appearance.
Their hearts softened.
Yes, who cared about the rivalry of the Three Tribes, or the grand trends of the Primordial World.
As long as their little disciple could be happy every day, eat well and drink well, it was more important than anything.
"Eldest Brother, how should we receive them?"
Tongtian Jiaozhu asked.
"Should we put on a bit of a show to let them know who's boss?"
"There's no need to be deliberate."
The Grand Pure One Laozi shook his head.
"We have already attained Primordial Golden Immortal status. Every action we take is the Dao. Why would we need to be deliberate?"
"Just let them wait outside the mountain gate."
"Let them truly feel how Kunlun Mountain is different from before."
The Grand Pure One Laozi's voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.
This was not intentional difficulty.
It was the natural emanation of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
The laws of heaven and earth that their breakthrough had triggered had not yet completely subsided.
The entire Kunlun Mountain was enveloped in an invisible Dao charm of Primordial Golden Immortal.
This Dao charm was an insurmountable chasm for Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
Letting them wait outside the mountain would also temper their arrogance.
At the same time, outside the mountain gate of Kunlun Mountain.
Three figures, radiating immense power, floated uneasily in mid-air.
They were the Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Kirin, who had rushed all the way from Blood Maple Plain.
Behind them followed a group of high-ranking elders from the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin tribes.
Each of them was a Primordial Golden Immortal level existence.
In their hands, they held various gift boxes radiating myriad rays of light and surging with treasure aura.
Inside were packed the top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures accumulated by the three tribes over countless eons.
However, even such a luxurious contingent, capable of sweeping aside any force in the Primordial World, Dared not approach the mountain gate of Kunlun Mountain at this moment.
"Such... such terrifying pressure!"
Ancestor Dragon's massive body transformed into a majestic middle-aged man clad in a golden imperial robe.
He gazed at Kunlun Mountain, shrouded in immortal qi.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Kunlun Mountain, before his eyes, appeared no different than before.
Yet, with his cultivation at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he could clearly sense.
The entire mountain was enveloped by a profound Dao rhythm that he could neither comprehend nor resist.
That Dao rhythm existed independently of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao, forming its own realm.
He felt that if he took one more step, he would be crushed into dust by that Dao rhythm.
"Is this... the realm of a Primordial Golden Immortal?"
Yuan Feng's exquisitely beautiful face was also etched with shock.
She felt that her prideful Southern Bright Leaving Fire, in the face of this Dao rhythm, Was like a child's flame, utterly insignificant.
"I feel..."
Primordial Kirin's voice was extremely dry.
"The three of us combined might not even be able to withstand a single finger of any one of them inside."
His profound earth laws, before the Primordial Dao rhythm of Kunlun Mountain, Were as fragile as a sheet of thin paper.
The elders behind the three patriarchs, each with a deathly pale face.
Their legs went weak, and they dared not even draw a deep breath.
Only now did they truly realize.
Just what kind of terrifying beings they were about to pay homage to.
As they stood at a loss, caught between advancing and retreating, their hearts filled with unease.
A lazy voice echoed from within the mountain gate.
"Master has ordered that you wait outside the mountain gate."
The voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Following that, a stout Daoist priest in a gray robe.
Yawning, he slowly ambled out from within the mountain gate.
It was none other than Duobao Daoist, the eldest disciple taken in by Tongtian Jiaozhu and assigned to guard the gate.
Duobao's mood at the moment was soaring to the heavens.
He was merely meditating at the mountain entrance.
And bathing in the Primordial Dao rhythm of the three Masters after their breakthrough.
He felt his cultivation bottleneck loosen considerably.
Upon emerging, he saw a vast expanse of figures kneeling outside.
He took a closer look, and good heavens!
Was that not the Dragon Clan's leader, Ancestor Dragon?
And Yuan Feng, the impossibly beautiful one from the Phoenix Clan!
And Primordial Kirin, the burly fellow from the Kirin Clan!
The three overlords of the Primordial World, all kneeling in unison at the gate of their mountain?
Duobao felt his little heart could barely withstand such a stimulating scene.
He cleared his throat.
Striving to appear more composed.
Mimicking his own Master, he put on a profound and inscrutable expression.
"The three Masters are currently dining with our junior disciple and are unavailable to receive guests."
"You shall wait here."
After speaking, he ignored the ghost-like expressions of the three old ancestors.
He turned and sauntered back into the mountain gate.
Leaving the Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Kirin, the three great powers, utterly bewildered in the wind.
"To... to dine?"
The three supreme beings, who had just attained Primordial Golden Immortal status and shook the Primordial World.
Were now... accompanying their mysterious young disciple... for a meal?
This reason was too outrageous!
It was too dismissive of them!
Yet, they didn't dare utter a single complaint.
They could only obediently, along with their numerous elders.
Kneel properly outside the Kunlun Mountain gate.
They knelt there for three days and three nights.
