The Ancestors of the Three Tribes Kneel and Lick!

Outside the gates of Kunlun Mountain, the killing intent was as solid as if it had substance.

Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Kirin, the three overlords of the Primordial World who once could bathe entire continents in blood with a single outburst of rage, now knelt on the ground like chastised children.

They didn't even dare to breathe deeply.

Behind them, hundreds of elders from the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin tribes, each with a face as pale as paper.

If only they had known this day would come, why bother with the past!

If they hadn't instigated the Calamity, turning the Primordial World into a river of blood, how could they have alarmed these three terrifying existences within Kunlun Mountain?

Now, look at them.

Those beings had quelled the Calamity effortlessly, and in the process, had even attained the Dao.

Their three tribes, however, had become the biggest joke.

Not only had they suffered heavy casualties and their strength severely depleted, but now they had to come to their doorstep, groveling and begging for forgiveness.

This humiliation had spread throughout the primordial void.

"Big Brother, do you think the three Daoist Brothers will just..."

Primordial Kirin's divine sense trembled, unable to complete his sentence.

The three days and three nights of waiting felt like an eternity to him.

The faint, pervasive aura of Hunyuan Dao emanating from within Kunlun Mountain was crushing his Primordial Spirit to the brink of explosion.

"No."

Ancestor Dragon's voice was bitter.

"If they truly didn't want to see us, they would have crushed us with a single palm long ago."

"This is a warning, to make us understand who the true masters of the Primordial World are."

Ancestor Dragon's heart was as clear as a mirror.

These three days, on the surface, were a punishment, but in reality, they were a test.

If they lacked even this much patience, those three Daoist Brothers might genuinely consider replacing the "managers" of the Primordial World.

"Sigh..."

Primordial Phoenix's beautiful eyes were filled with despair.

"We can only hope that the gifts we've brought will satisfy the three Daoist Brothers and that junior disciple."

She glanced back at the mountain of treasures piled behind them.

For this visit, the three tribes had emptied nearly all their coffers.

Ancestor Dragon presented the Dragon Palace's supreme treasure, the "Myriad Dragons Paying Homage Chart," a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure that could summon the power of myriad dragons when unfurled.

He also brought ten thousand "Sea Calming Divine Pearls", nurtured by the Eye of the East Sea, each containing pure water laws.

And three thousand sets of "Dragon Scale Armor," forged from Ancestor Dragon's reverse scales.

Primordial Phoenix brought forth the "Phoenix Tree Heart" from the Phoenix Clan's sacred land, the Wutong Divine Tree, condensed from the essence of Innate Yimu, its value beyond measure.

Along with a thousand "Phoenix Feather Robes," tempered for a hundred thousand years in the Southern Bright Leaving Fire.

Primordial Kirin was even more ruthless, directly bringing the "Earth Fetal Membrane," the supreme treasure that suppressed the central land.

Any single one of these treasures was enough to incite bloody storms throughout the Primordial World.

Now, they were laid out like trinkets outside the mountain gate, awaiting the masters' selection.

"Creak—"

The mountain gate finally opened.

It was the same chubby Duobao Daoist, yawning sleepily.

"The three masters have finished their meal and summoned you inside."

Finished their meal?!

The three ancestors nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

We've been kneeling for three days and three nights, and you've just had a meal?

Did this meal last three days? Were you eating Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow?

Despite the extreme frustration churning within them, they dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces.

Instead, they put on expressions of profound gratitude.

"Thank you, Daoist Master, for the message!"

"We've troubled you, Daoist Master!"

The three ancestors quickly rose, tidied their appearances, and respectfully followed Duobao behind him.

The moment they stepped into Kunlun Mountain.

Boom!

The Primordial Dao rhythm pressed down like mountains!

The Dao rhythm outside was barely perceptible, but within the mountain, it had almost solidified.

Every wisp of spiritual energy carried a terrifying will that transcended the Heavenly Dao.

The three old ancestors felt like ants who had stumbled into a giant's kingdom, bearing immense pressure with every step.

Soon, they arrived at the Three Pure Ones' Daoist sanctuary.

They saw three Daoists with unfathomable auras seated around a stone table.

The Grand Pure One Laozi was serene and acted according to nature.

Yuanshi Tianzun was solemn and dignified.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was heroic and unrestrained.

Their auras seemed out of place with heaven and earth, yet they blended perfectly, as if they were the center of this world.

However.

What truly made the three old ancestors' hearts tremble was the "youngest disciple" surrounded by the Three Pure Ones in the center.

An infant who looked only three or four years old!

He was fair and plump, exquisitely carved, with a small emerald green leaf on his head, sitting on a specially made small chair.

He held a golden, shining "branch" in his hand, scratching something on the ground.

There was no fluctuation of magical power from him.

He looked like an ordinary mortal child.

But the three old ancestors clearly felt a pure, ultimate life essence emanating from him!

That aura was more majestic and pure than any Innate Spiritual Root!

What made them tremble even more was.

Around the infant, wisps of calamity's malevolent energy were being unconsciously absorbed into his body, then transformed into the purest life force and dissipated.

So that's how it is!

It's him!

It was this harmless-looking infant who had devoured the malevolent energy of the entire Calamity!

The three old ancestors' hearts churned like stormy seas.

This was no mere junior disciple, but an ancient deity disguised in the skin of an infant!

"Ancestor Dragon of the Dragon Clan, greetings to the three Daoist Brothers!"

"Primordial Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, greetings to the three Daoist Brothers!"

"Primordial Kirin of the Kirin Clan, greetings to the three Daoist Brothers!"

The three old ancestors dared not delay and quickly stepped forward to perform a grand ceremony.

They used "Daoist Brothers," which both declared their identity and served as a test.

"Three Daoist friends, there's no need for such ceremony."

The Grand Pure One Laozi's voice was as calm as water.

"May I ask the reason for your joint visit?"

Ancestor Dragon's heart tightened; the main topic had arrived.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"We are here for three matters."

"Firstly, we come to confess our sins to the three Daoist Brothers for our three clans' instigation of the Calamity, which led to the suffering of all beings in the Primordial World!"

He bowed deeply again.

"Secondly, we thank the three Daoist Brothers for their efforts in quelling the Calamity and restoring clarity to the Primordial World! Our three clans will never forget this immense merit and virtue!"

"Thirdly..."

Ancestor Dragon glanced at Lin Shen, who was playing with the branch, his face filled with utmost sincerity.

"We heard that the three Daoist Brothers have recently taken in a junior disciple of unparalleled talent and immense fortune for the Primordial World. Our three clans have prepared humble gifts to apologize to the junior disciple for our past transgressions and to congratulate him on joining the Kunlun lineage!"

He waved his hand.

Elders behind him stepped forward, holding gift boxes radiating with treasure light.

"Humble gifts from the East Sea: a scroll of the Myriad Dragons Paying Homage Chart, ten thousand Sea Calming Divine Pearls, and three thousand sets of Dragon Scale Armor, presented to the junior disciple!"

"Humble gifts from the Phoenix Clan: one Phoenix Tree Heart and a thousand Phoenix Feather Robes, presented to the junior disciple!"

"Humble gifts from the Kirin Clan: one Earth Fetal Membrane, to stabilize the junior disciple's Daoist sanctuary!"

The voices of the three old ancestors echoed across the peaks of Kunlun Mountain.

They were actually bestowing treasures that would drive the Primordial World into a frenzy, all specifically to that infant still playing in the dirt!

This method could not be considered anything but brilliant.

The best way to curry favor with the Three Pure Ones was to curry favor with their beloved disciple!
