Tongtian stood there quietly, saying nothing.

Yet his eyes, brimming with endless killing Sword Intent, never left Zhunti Good Corpse's face. The chill in his gaze deepened by several degrees.

The meaning was obvious.

Shameless! F***ing shameless!

This uncle-and-nephew pair were practically carved from the same mold—two utterly despicable bastards!

Zhunti raged, roared, and howled inwardly, wishing he could immediately wield the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and sweep these two shameless wretches into ashes!

But he did not dare!

He could not flare up. His face turned so red it was several shades deeper than the burning clouds, like a furnace that could explode at any moment.

He knew perfectly well that if he did not satisfy this uncle-and-nephew pair today, Tongtian—the greatest madman in the Primordial Wilderness—might truly dare to fight him here!

At that point, forget a single Good Corpse; even his true body might be disturbed!

He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. As though he had made some enormous decision, he suddenly flipped his palm.

Buzz!

A Golden Lotus Seed appeared in his hand, crystal-clear throughout as though cast from golden glass. It seemed to contain an entire purifying world within, radiating boundless purifying intent.

The instant the lotus seed appeared, all the foul qi between Heaven and Earth was swept clean, soothing the mind at the very scent of it.

"Little friend, this item is a lotus seed borne from the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus. A single seed contains one hundred thousand years of pure cultivation power, and it possesses the supreme effects of cleansing the Primordial Spirit and stabilizing one's Dao Foundation!"

"Today's matter was purely a misunderstanding. Consider this my apology to you!"

With that, he flicked his finger. His movement was incomparably swift, as though he feared he might regret it.

That incomparably precious lotus seed became a brilliant streak of golden light, carrying endless Chanting Buddhist Sounds as it flew toward Niu Ben.

Delight flashed through Niu Ben's eyes. He reached out and seized the heavy Golden Lotus Seed in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, not even bothering to glance at it, he opened his mouth and swallowed it with a gulp, like a cow eating a peony.

A miracle occurred!

The very moment before, he had been weakly clinging to life, his face as pale as gold paper as though he might breathe his last at any time. The instant the lotus seed entered his stomach, his whole body suddenly shook!

Boom!

An unimaginably vast surge of life essence and pure cultivation power exploded within him like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring backward into his body!

His utterly feeble aura began to surge madly at a speed visible to the naked eye—no, at a speed even divine sense could scarcely catch!

The blood he had just spat out actually defied the laws of nature, turning into streams of blood that flowed back into him!

His paper-pale complexion instantly became rosy and lustrous, even carrying a solemn, treasure-like bearing!

Only a single breath had passed!

He had already returned to his peak condition, and the aura emanating from him was even several degrees stronger than before!

He was brimming with vitality and high spirits, as though he had not just suffered mortal injuries, but had instead gone on vacation in Chaos!

Shameless!

Beast!

Watching this absurd scene unfold, Zhunti's Dao Heart nearly collapsed on the spot. A mouthful of old blood rose to his throat, only for him to force it back down as he roared wildly and cried tears of blood within.

He had roamed the Primordial Wilderness for endless ages and prided himself on having skin thicker than anyone else's, an unmatched marvel of the Primordial Wilderness!

Yet today, his eyes had truly been opened!

Who would have thought that among the Disciples of the Three Pure Ones, there would be someone even more shameless and thick-skinned than him!

That acting, that coordination, that tacit understanding...

Even the Oscars owed them a Little Jin!

Yet he did not dare say another word, nor did he dare remain here for even one second longer.

"Well then, Tongtian Dao Friend, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I... I shall take my leave."

Zhunti squeezed out a smile uglier than crying. Before his words had even faded, he grabbed the Golden Immortal Demon King, who had long since been scared limp on the ground and was leaking filth from every opening, lifting him like a chick. With a flash, he tore through space and vanished without looking back.

He was truly afraid!

He feared that if he stayed any longer, this shameless uncle-and-nephew pair would come up with some new excuse to extort him!

His impoverished Western region could not withstand such blackmail!

So he had better leave while he still could.

Ding!

At the exact moment Zhunti fled in disgrace, a crisp and pleasant notification, like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, suddenly rang out in Niu Ben's mind.

"Congratulations, Master, for completing Choice Two. You have obtained the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [Dili Flame-Light Banner] and a Great Dao Divine Ability reward."

"Great Dao Divine Ability reward: [Great Dao God Conferring Technique]."

The system notification invigorated Niu Ben.

Dili Flame-Light Banner?

He lowered his head and looked at the little red banner in his hand. As its fabric fluttered, threads of Li Fire Essence flowed through it.

One of the Innate Five Directional Flags—the Southern Dili Flame-Light Banner.

A Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with unparalleled might.

Looking at the banner, Niu Ben thought that if he gathered all five directional flags into one, he wondered what kind of scene that would create. Its power would likely be no weaker than an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Next, Niu Ben immediately examined the newly acquired divine ability.

[Great Dao God Conferring Technique]!

As its name implied, this divine ability could seal all things between Heaven and Earth. Whether living beings, Magic Treasures, laws, or the Great Dao itself, all could be sealed.

When cultivated to its pinnacle, it could even seal the Heavenly Dao!

How terrifying!

The Heavenly Dao was the supreme existence of the Primordial Wilderness.

This truly was an invincible divine ability!

Niu Ben was greatly shaken. Of course, he also understood that to seal the Heavenly Dao, his own cultivation would likely need to reach an unimaginable realm.

He calmed his mind, turned toward Tongtian, and solemnly bowed.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for coming to my aid."

"It is nothing." Tongtian's Evil Corpse spoke in an icy tone devoid of emotion.

"This matter is settled. I should continue traveling through the Primordial Wilderness."

Although the Three Corpses could not improve their cultivation on their own, everything they saw and experienced while traveling outside, along with their insights into the Great Dao, could continuously be transmitted to the true body, thereby accelerating its cultivation.

As the true body's strength increased, the strength of the Three Corpses would naturally rise with it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tongtian transformed into a streak of sword light that shot into the sky and vanished in an instant.

Looking at the Dili Flame-Light Banner in his hand and the lotus seed that had yet to be fully refined, Niu Ben decided to immediately enter seclusion.

He would see whether he could use this opportunity to break through that heavenly chasm in one go and attain the Grand Luo Dao Fruit.

He found a secluded valley, laid down layer upon layer of restrictions, and began his long seclusion.

Just like that, several thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the valley, Niu Ben slowly opened his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, a crimson treasure banner appeared in his grasp. Flames danced across its surface, radiating the terrifying might of Sky-Scorching Sea-Boiling.

After several thousand years of bitter cultivation, he had initially refined the Dili Flame-Light Banner.

Yet his own cultivation remained at the late stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, still short of that final step to Daluo.

However, he had not gained nothing.

He had used all the one hundred thousand years of pure cultivation power transformed from the Pure World White Lotus seed to temper his body.

At this moment, within the Chaos Space in his dantian, the number of Earth Fiend Divine Oxen had increased by several hundred more.

He was no longer far from the perfected realm of three thousand Earth Fiend Divine Oxen.
