Just then.

The space in the distance rippled, and Sect Master Tongtian's face was full of happy expressions, as if he had obtained a huge benefit.

"Third Brother Pan, your little robbery trip took a while."

"No, I went to watch a show.

Why do you always think I go robbing?" Sect Master Tongtian said unhappily, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

He walked to the side, took out a fishing rod, and fished with Leng Er. This was made for him by Leng Er.

It was said that he had comprehended the ultimate fishing experience, claiming to be made of top-grade rebar, but he never said what the fishing experience was.

This so-called top-grade rebar is indeed a bit interesting, possessing the strength of a Postnatal Treasure.

"What show? One that takes thirty years to watch?" Leng Er was immediately curious. What show was so good that it took so long to watch?

And he didn't even call him to watch it together.

But thinking of the damned Primordial World, time is worthless here. Thirty years!

Enough for him to shout, "Thirty years east of the river..."

Sect Master Tongtian instantly became vigilant.

This time, the show he watched was about Jieyin and Zhunti, those two bald donkeys, getting their home stolen by Old Ancestor Minghe, and the Bodhi Tree being burned by the Twelfth-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus... He couldn't let this slip.

For some reason, he always felt like he wanted to speak his mind freely around Leng Er. It was strange.

Immediately, he pretended to be calm and said, "Hey~ It's just three parties fighting, and I watched the show from the side, adding fuel to the fire.

By the way, are you used to living here?

I'll give you this sword. It's the treasure that suppresses our Dao Sect. You can use it for self-defense in the future."

Leng Er looked at the Qingping Sword being handed over and waved his hand, saying, "You are a Sword Immortal. You need a sword more than I do. If you give it to me, what will you use?"

Sect Master Tongtian directly handed it into Leng Er's arms, saying, "Just take it if I give it to you. I'll use this!"

Leng Er looked at the four swords floating behind Sect Master Tongtian. These were peerless divine swords.

At this moment, an image flashed in his mind: I can just use these.

He silently put away the Qingping Sword. Good heavens, these were four divine swords brimming with killing intent.

Huh? Something's not right!

Are these thirty-six Dao of Innate Divine Restriction patterns? No, is this a divine object preparing to advance to a Chaos Treasure?

"Third Brother Pan, is this an Innate Treasure Divine Sword? Or one that's preparing to advance to a Chaos Treasure?" Leng Er asked solemnly, a hint of shock in his eyes.

Where did you go to watch the show? Isn't this time's lucky find a bit terrifying?

Wait, isn't this the one he took out last time? Or was it originally like this?

Impossible, right?

"What, is there a problem?" Sect Master Tongtian said indifferently, but he was also shocked.

Isn't Leng Er just a Golden Core? How could he sense the internal Divine Restriction patterns? There's no reason!

When Leng Er gazed at the Qingping Sword, Zhou Tian's starlight flowed deep within his pupils—this was a body impervious to all laws, actually a manifestation of the Innate Dao Embryo's prototype.

Being impervious to all laws was truly terrifying, actually allowing him to easily refine the Qingping Sword.

"You're awesome!" Leng Er said helplessly, refining it with a backhand and storing it in his Dantian.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: As expected of the Primordial World, Innate Treasures are as common as grass, so worthless that it's unsettling.

Something's not right! He could refine this Innate Treasure?

"That's right! You've just been fishing here for the past thirty years, without cultivating or going out?" Sect Master Tongtian quickly changed the subject, secretly relieved that he had finally passed the test.

However, Leng Er was the same as he had been on Golden Turtle Island, unwilling to leave his cave even half a step. Was he a bit too timid?

Although the Primordial World was very dangerous, there shouldn't be any danger nearby, after all, this was the place he chose.

Safety was still guaranteed.

"Alas~ I have been cultivating, but I'm still at the Golden Core Stage. The Golden Core is just a little bigger than before.

I plan to cultivate formations to see if I can make connections." Leng Er said a little dejectedly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Everything is hard at the beginning. It's good as long as you can improve," Sect Master Tongtian comforted.

"I know. I've recently comprehended some cultivation insights. I'd like to ask Third Brother for guidance."

"That's great. Tell me about it." Sect Master Tongtian was immediately interested. If other cultivators said this to him, he would have slapped them away.

But he still wanted to hear what Leng Er had to say. This guy could always comprehend some strange things, which was also beneficial to him.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself. As the saying goes: The path of profound cultivation lies in understanding one's true heart, in connecting with heaven and earth, and in proving the supreme Dao fruit.

Cultivators observe the starry sea and see the spiritual platform, gaze into the abyss and illuminate the Dao heart.

When first entering the Dao, the Qi Sea surges like a boiling cauldron, requiring the Samadhi True Fire to forge the Golden Core and the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning to shape the Nascent Soul.

Between day and night, one sees the myriad zhang of mortal tribulation deep within the spiritual root, and then knows that cutting off the seven emotions is like quenching a sword, and severing the six desires is like peeling a cocoon."

Knowing the Mandate of Heaven leads to a steadfast heart, steadfastness leads to a clear spirit, clarity leads to unobstructed meridians, unobstructed meridians lead to understanding creation, and understanding creation leads to breaking shackles.

At that moment, the opening of the Mysterious Passageway was like a galaxy pouring backward, and the Purple Palace trembled like thunder from heavenly drums.

One breath of stillness reveals the nascent soul embracing the moon, lotus flowers blooming from the nine orifices, and a single thought can penetrate to the realm of Void Glimpse, knocking on the Gate of Heaven.

Even if extraterrestrial demons manifest three thousand illusions, they are but a light sweep of the whisk, and the sea of clouds parts to reveal the bright moon."

Sect Master Tongtian's hand, gripping the rebar fishing rod, trembled slightly, revealing the turmoil in his heart.

He hastily used his divine powers to shield the surrounding area, concealing the auspicious signs of lotus blossoms in the void and spiritual energy transforming into dragons.

Ling Er was actually expounding the Dao to him! To him, a Sage!

The key was that this Dao...

Not good, his Dao attainment was forcibly elevated, and the Primordial Dao Fruit within his body was spontaneously evolving into Taiji Yin-Yang – I must suppress it!

At this moment, he was glimpsing the realm beyond Primordial! The shackles of the Heavenly Dao Sage were actually heating up, as if about to break!

No, it's not the time!

"Third Brother Pan, how was my insight?" Ling Er looked at Sect Master Tongtian expectantly, awaiting his evaluation.

"Very good!" Sect Master Tongtian suppressed the surging power within his body and said calmly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Fortunately, Ling Er didn't continue to expound, or he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

"Oh? Then I'll have to continue researching and see if I can improve the method further," Ling Er said with utter disappointment, losing even the desire to fish.

In contrast, Sect Master Tongtian closed his eyes, as if immersed in fishing, but in reality, he had already begun to assimilate the Dao attainment he had just gained.

Seeing this, Ling Er picked up his fishing rod and headed to the next fishing spot.

He really didn't want to fish with Pan Laosan; that guy was always like a novice, catching fish no matter how he fished.

In contrast, he mastered all sorts of fishing techniques, yet remained consistently empty-handed.

Hmph! We anglers fear not an empty rod!

Deep within the Chaos.

Yuanshi Tianzun's face showed a hint of anger. His own Third Brother had actually slipped away. According to his nature, he should have continued watching the excitement, so why did he suddenly run off?

Moreover, that guy seemed to have been standing behind them both just now, completely different from his usual self, rushing to the front.

"Brother, let's go. It seems the opportunity here has been taken by someone else. Watching them fight is really boring," Yuanshi Tianzun suggested.

After all, the Witch Race and the Demon Race fighting wasn't a one- or two-day affair; there was nothing to see.

The good part had already been watched. Those two from the West were miserable enough, having been targeted by that Old Ancestor Minghe.

But those two from the West were also shameless, bullying the weak by going to the Blood Sea to convert people's Asuras, taking them to their own Buddhist kingdom to be Dharma protectors, but who told them that the West was indeed poor beyond measure?

They had formed a karmic debt.

"How do you know the opportunity has been seized by someone else?"

"Brother, think about it. To be able to stimulate a power like transcendence, it's definitely not some treasure, but most likely man-made.

Don't forget, that Great Immortal Yang is hiding in this Chaos," Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently. He now just wanted to find his own brother and ask him.

What did he plan to do with this Jie Sect next? Continuing like this would definitely explode; it was too terrifying.

The Heavenly Dao would definitely not allow such an existence; it would definitely be a thorn in the Heavenly Dao's side. Unfortunately, they had become Heavenly Dao Sages, their bodies not their own.

"Mm. Eh? Where's Third Brother?"

"He left long ago, afraid we'd spank him."
