Masters, Stop Fighting! Everyone Gets a Share!

On the peak of Kunlun Mountain, green auspicious clouds enveloped the area, exuding a natural Dao charm.

The Origin Qi, transformed from Primordial Violet Qi, was pure and vast, containing the most primal power of creation.

It split into four streams, hovering before the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun.

This scene caused the four top figures of the Primordial World to fall into a daze once again.

Again?

And again?!

And this time... it's even more "nourishing" than last time?

The Three Pure Ones looked at the stream of green energy before them, their Primordial Spirits cheering.

They had just savored the deliciousness of this Origin Qi, the feeling of reaching the very source of the Great Dao and instantly loosening their cultivation bottlenecks was more satisfying than any heavenly treasure.

Now, a larger portion of "dessert" was placed before them, who could resist?

"Ahem..." Tongtian Jiaozhu was the first to break the silence.

He looked at the thickest stream of green energy belonging to him, his eyes nearly glowing green.

He rubbed his hands together, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, and looked at his beloved disciple, "Um... good disciple, this... is also for Master?"

Lin Shen had just broken through to the Golden Immortal realm and felt comfortable and warm all over.

Seeing his masters staring enviously at the "clouds" in the sky, he thought they wanted to eat them too.

As a good disciple who respected his teachers, he naturally wanted to share delicious things with his masters!

He nodded vigorously, even extending his chubby little finger to point at the four streams of energy, then pointed at the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun respectively, making "ya ya" sounds.

(Share! Share everything! Everyone gets a portion, no grabbing!)

To the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun, his actions conveyed the meaning, "I specifically prepared this for you, eat up."

"Hahaha! I knew it! My disciple is the most filial!" Tongtian Jiaozhu, having received "permission," could no longer hold back. He let out a long laugh and inhaled.

The stream of Origin Qi belonging to him was completely absorbed into his belly like a great whale drinking water.

"Third Brother!" Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, feeling Tongtian's eating manner was too crude and unbecoming of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

But while he spoke, his body acted honestly.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Origin Qi belonging to him also turned into a stream of light and entered his body.

The Grand Pure One Laozi smiled slightly, the Tai Chi Diagram above his head slowly unfurled, enveloping the Origin Qi and refining it slowly, his movements elegant and composed.

While the Three Pure Ones unceremoniously began to "enjoy" their feast, Hongjun was still hesitating.

He looked at the stream of Origin Qi before him, which, though slightly smaller than the Three Pure Ones', was still vast and pure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

What did I come here for?

I came to give gifts, build good karma, and see if I could recruit this anomaly of the Primordial World into my Mystic Gate faction.

But now, the gifts weren't given, and they weren't even wanted.

Instead, I first witnessed a shocking spectacle of "tearing apart Primordial Violet Qi," and now I'm being "fed" a grand meal by them?

What is this?

As the dignified Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the future spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, when have I ever taken such a huge advantage from others?

"Young friend, this item is too precious; this humble one feels unworthy to accept it." Hongjun bowed slightly to Lin Shen, his tone sincere.

He wanted to refuse.

However, Lin Shen tilted his little head, looking at him with confusion.

(Why aren't you eating? Is it not tasty? Or do you not like the flavor?)

Lin Shen felt that this seemingly powerful old gentleman was quite nice, having given him "popping candy" as soon as he arrived.

Now that there was something good, he naturally had to share it with him.

Seeing Hongjun not "eating," he thought he hadn't given him enough.

So, he extended his little hand and pushed the stream of Origin Qi before Hongjun with more effort.

"Ya ya! Ya ya!" (Here! Eat more!)

With his movement, the stream of Origin Qi actually grew a bit larger, and its color became even deeper.

Hongjun: "..."

He could feel that within this stream of Origin Qi, there was a goodwill and karma that even he couldn't resist.

If he forcibly refused, he would instead form a bad cause with this mysterious young friend.

Alas.

Perhaps this is the will of heaven.

Hongjun sighed inwardly and no longer refused.

He bowed solemnly to Lin Shen once more, "In that case, this humble one thanks the young friend for the Dao affinity bestowed."

After speaking, he opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the Origin Qi into his body.

BOOM!

The moment this purest Origin Qi, transformed from Primordial Violet Qi, entered their bodies.

The four top existences of the Primordial World trembled simultaneously!

The Three Pure Ones had just broken through to the early stage of Primordial Golden Immortal, their realms still somewhat unstable.

But under the surge of this Origin Qi, they felt their Dao Foundations being solidified and strengthened at an incredible speed.

The Primordial power within their bodies circulated madly, every cell cheering.

The realm that would have taken countless eons to fully stabilize was now as firm as a rock in just a few breaths!

And this wasn't even the end!

The energy of this Origin Qi was too vast. After helping them completely stabilize their early stage realms, there was still a large amount of energy remaining.

This energy transformed into the purest nourishment, pushing their cultivation towards higher levels!

Peak of early Primordial Golden Immortal...

A bottleneck!

The barrier they had just broken through once again appeared before them.

But this time, in the face of this surging Origin Qi, the barrier seemed so fragile.

"Break!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu was the first to let out a long roar, his cry transforming into a sword that shot into the sky!

The bottleneck within his body shattered in response!

A more powerful and sharper aura erupted from him!

Mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal!

Following him, Yuanshi Tianzun and The Grand Pure One Laozi also broke through.

The illusory Pangu Banner above Yuanshi Tianzun's head became more solidified, the chaotic runes on its surface evolving the principles of heaven and earth.

The Tai Chi Diagram behind The Grand Pure One Laozi rotated slowly, yin and yang energies intertwining, transforming into a primordial chaos.

The auras of the three brothers connected, their combined might causing the entire Primordial World to tremble!

Countless powerful beings in seclusion were startled awake from their meditation by this series of terrifying auras, their faces dumbfounded, questioning their lives.

What was happening today?

Were those three on Kunlun Mountain treating breakthroughs like eating meals?

They just broke through once, and now they're doing it again?

Were they not going to let anyone else live!

Meanwhile, Hongjun's situation was somewhat different.

He was already at the critical juncture of Slaying Three Corpses and merging with the Dao, only a single step away from the Sage realm.

This step wasn't about lacking power or realm, but a catalyst.

A catalyst that would allow him to perfectly merge with the Dao, to control the Heavenly Dao without being assimilated by it.

And Lin Shen's Origin Qi was precisely this catalyst!

This power originated from Primordial Violet Qi, yet it transcended the Heavenly Dao, containing the most primal "creation" and "variables."

The moment it surged into Hongjun's body, a light of creation exploded in Hongjun's Primordial Spirit and sea of consciousness!

He saw it!

He saw Pangu's Creation of the World, his body becoming all things.

He saw the birth of the Heavenly Dao, its ceaseless operation.

He also saw, beneath the predetermined grand trend of the Heavenly Dao, that sliver of escape, those infinite variables!

Following the heavens was not about complete submission.

It was about conforming to the grand trend while also controlling that variable, guiding all things towards a better future!

This was the true meaning of "merging with the Dao"!

Not becoming a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, but becoming its "helmsman"!

"My Dao... is complete!"

An unprecedented brilliant light erupted from Hongjun's eyes.

The aura of his union with the Heavenly Dao reached the ultimate point of seamless integration at this moment.

An ultimate saintly might, surpassing Primordial Golden Immortals and towering over the entire Primordial World, slowly emanated from him.

Although he had not yet truly taken that final step, he had found his path and seen the threshold of the Saint realm!

As long as he returned to Zixiao Palace and entered seclusion to digest this day's enlightenment.

The first Sage of the Primordial World was about to be born!

And all of this stemmed from the infant before him, who was still licking his fingers, savoring the taste of the meat broth.

Hongjun slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Lin Shen, his gaze filled with extreme complexity.

There was shock, gratitude, awe, and even a hint of... envy.

He had cultivated for countless eons, calculated countless karmic debts, only to barely touch the threshold of a Sage.

Yet this little fellow before him, from the moment of his birth, had already stood at the culmination of all Great Daos.

This, perhaps, was the true "Dao."

Hongjun's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. He faced Lin Shen and, with utmost solemnity and depth, bowed deeply.
