God-tier Choice: Steadfastness in Kunlun Mountain, Obtain One Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Niu Ben arrived at the entrance of Kunlun Mountain and once again saw the Purple Mansion emissary.

The Purple Mansion emissary's heart was uneasy, unsure if he could meet the Three Pure Ones, but his attitude was excellent, a full smile on his face as he cupped his hands in greeting toward Niu Ben.

"Young friend, what was the result?"

"Master invites you in!" Niu Ben smiled and returned the gesture, making a welcoming motion.

The Purple Mansion emissary breathed a sigh of relief—as long as he could get an audience, everything else could be worked out.

If he hadn't even been seen, there would certainly be no good outcome upon his return.

Niu Ben led him to the great hall.

In Taishang Laozi's Dao Field, not only was he present, but Primordial Heavenly Lord and Tongtian were there as well.

"Master, two Martial Uncles, the man has been brought."

Taishang Laozi smiled and nodded, his eyes full of warmth, his body exuding an aura of Dao Follows Nature that made one feel like a spring breeze.

Primordial Heavenly Lord and Tongtian both nodded at Niu Ben simultaneously, clearly very satisfied with him, and couldn't help but smile as well.

The Purple Mansion emissary hurried forward to pay his respects, his attitude utterly reverent: "Greetings to the Three Pure Ones seniors!"

At this moment, he dared not address the Three Pure Ones as fellow disciples.

Especially with Primordial Heavenly Lord present—if he uttered such words, Primordial Heavenly Lord would likely throw him out directly, that arrogant nature looking down on those born with fur and shells.

Though he too was a Quasi-Saint, a supreme existence in any realm, his strength compared to the Three Pure Ones was like the gap between a ditch on the ground and the bright moon in the sky.

Each of the Three Pure Ones was a being he had to look up to.

The gap in strength between Quasi-Saints was vast as heaven and earth.

Severing the Three Corpses required fusing Magic Treasures; what he used were only ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasures. He too wanted top-grade Innate Supreme Treasures, but he didn't have them, and at the Treasure Distribution Cliff in the Purple Mansion Palace, he hadn't snatched a single treasure.

Back then, the Three Pure Ones were like a raging storm—they were the ones who grabbed the most.

Moreover, the Three Pure Ones were also incarnations of Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Pangu created the world, and the entire Primordial Wilderness belonged to him, carrying the great Merit of Pangu's World-Creating act.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Personal Disciples were all future destined Saints.

When Taishang Laozi faced the Purple Mansion emissary, though he also wore a gentle smile, it lacked the spring-breeze warmth he showed Niu Ben.

"What business do you have at my Kunlun Mountain?"

The Purple Mansion emissary quickly took out the invitation, bent at the waist, and raised it respectfully above his head with both hands.

His voice grew even more humble: "In a thousand years, my Immortal Court's master, East Prince Gong, will host the Myriad Immortals Assembly at Purple Mansion Prefecture. He specially sent me to invite the Three Pure Ones seniors to gather."

Taishang Laozi waved his Fly Whisk, and the invitation fell into his hand.

After reading its contents, he did not answer immediately, pondering in his heart.

East Prince Gong's move carried deep meaning.

Lately, in the Primordial Wilderness, friction between the Purple Mansion Immortal Court and the Demon Heavenly Court had been constant; a battle between the two was inevitable.

He did not wish to involve himself in such matters, and he understood where his own Dao lay.

His Second Brother and Third Brother's Daos likewise lay not in the Immortal Court or the Heavenly Court.

If the Three Pure Ones attended, it would mean leaning toward the Purple Mansion Immortal Court.

And his Second Brother, Primordial Heavenly Lord, cultivated the Dao of following the Heavenly Dao, disliking those born with scales, shells, moisture, or eggs—he would certainly have no objections.

His Third Brother's Dao was to Seize a Thread of Life for all living beings, Teaching Without Discrimination, with the most carefree and unrestrained nature—no matter what choice he made, he would not argue.

East Prince Gong was the Dao Ancestor's appointed Head of Male Immortals; as a Personal Disciple of the Dao Ancestor, some support was due.

After a moment of deliberation, Taishang Laozi spoke in a calm tone: "Go back and tell East Prince Gong that in a thousand years, we shall attend!"

Hearing the clear answer, the Purple Mansion emissary's eyes shone with uncontrollable joy.

His heart pounded wildly—on the way here, he had been constantly anxious, the worst outcome being that the Three Pure Ones wouldn't even grant an audience, or perhaps they would meet but refuse.

If either of those results came to pass, he wouldn't know how to report back.

Now with a definite answer, East Prince Gong would surely not make things difficult for him upon his return. In his delight, he might even reward him with a few Spiritual Treasures.

After bowing respectfully, he hurriedly left.

Being in the Three Pure Ones' Dao Field was far too oppressive.

At that moment, a "ding" sounded in Niu Ben's mind.

[Congratulations, master, for triggering a God-tier Choice!]

[Choice 1: Beg Taishang to take you to Purple Mansion Prefecture in a thousand years. Reward: One Lottery Chance!]

[Choice 2: Continue to stay steady at Kunlun Mountain. Reward: One Innate Spiritual Treasure!]

Hearing the system's voice, Niu Ben's mind raced. An Innate Spiritual Treasure was certainly good, but what would the system's lottery yield?

He directly asked the system in his thoughts, "System, what can that Lottery Chance obtain?"

[Clang! The lottery can randomly grant divine abilities, spiritual treasures, or spiritual items!]

Niu Ben's brow twitched slightly—that answer was far too vague.

He asked silently in his mind: "System, for example?"

[Clang! There are many kinds of divine abilities, such as Taishang Laozi's One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, or abilities from other worlds, and so on!]

[Spiritual treasures include Innate Supreme Treasures, or Innate Spiritual Treasures, as well as Innate Merit Supreme Treasures, and ordinary Houtian Spiritual Treasures may also appear!]

[Spiritual items could be the ten Innate Spiritual Roots, or common spiritual roots found everywhere!]

Niu Ben pondered for a moment. Innate Spiritual Treasures were indeed good, but compared to the lottery, the lottery seemed more appealing.

What reward he could get all depended on his luck.

He wasn't short on Innate Spiritual Treasures, after all, with Taishang Laozi around, if he wanted some treasure, he could pester and wheedle it out of him.

If the direct reward were an Innate Supreme Treasure, he might have chosen option 2.

But now he chose 1—taking a gamble might turn a bicycle into a Ferrari.

And at that moment.

In the great hall.

Primordial Heavenly Lord's gaze carried confusion and doubt.

He spoke first: "Big Brother, you dislike getting involved in these matters the most. Why would you attend that East Prince Gong's Myriad Immortals Assembly?"

Even Tongtian beside him cast a puzzled look.

Both of them had thought Big Brother would refuse outright.

But unexpectedly, he agreed.

The Three Pure Ones had never taken East Prince Gong seriously. After Dao Ancestor Hongjun's third lecture, East Prince Gong had invited them to join the Immortal Court, and they had directly refused.

Moreover, none of the three thought highly of East Prince Gong's character.

Tongtian disliked him even more. He was naturally free and unrestrained, and couldn't stand those who bullied others through power.

But East Prince Gong was the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, so he couldn't just chop him down with a sword. He could only ignore him, as long as he didn't provoke him, he couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.

Now, both of them fixed their eyes on Taishang Laozi.

Even Niu Ben was full of doubt. Taishang Laozi should understand what East Prince Gong was plotting, so why did he agree so readily?

He also wanted to hear what he would say.
