Taishang looked at them, stroked his beard, and chuckled. "Second Brother, Third Brother, why do you think I agreed?"
Primordial Heavenly Lord had always been arrogant. Having recently heard of all sorts of events in the Primordial Wilderness, he looked down on East Prince Gong even more.
After thinking it over, he snorted disdainfully.
"Eldest Brother, East Prince Gong's Purple Mansion Immortal Court is full of nothing but useless rabble. Those with profound foundations and Great Opportunities disdain joining the Purple Mansion Immortal Court."
"Moreover, the Purple Mansion Immortal Court clearly intends to go to war with the Demon Heavenly Court. This Myriad Immortals Assembly is meant to win us over!"
"Could it be that Eldest Brother intends to use this opportunity to declare that the Three Pure Ones will not participate in their conflict?"
Taishang did not answer. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Tongtian.
Tongtian gave an easygoing laugh and casually shook his head. His answer was concise and clear. "I don't know!"
Hearing Tongtian's reply, Primordial Heavenly Lord rebuked him.
"Third Brother, we Three Pure Ones were transformed from Father God Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Our every word and action must follow proper rules. Look at yourself now—what sort of appearance is this?"
"So lazy and undisciplined. You are not even as proper as the disciples under you!"
"If those disciples saw you like this, they would surely follow your example. When they travel the Primordial Wilderness in the future, it will be the Three Pure Ones' reputation that they disgrace!"
Hearing this, Niu Ben sighed inwardly.
Primordial Heavenly Lord's arrogance was carved into his bones.
Tongtian, meanwhile, was casual and free-spirited, unconcerned with minor formalities. Friction between the two was inevitable.
Tongtian did not care at all. He had long since grown accustomed to his Second Brother's attitude. They had argued before, but every time, Second Brother used his status to suppress him and accused him of disrespecting his elder brother.
After a long time, he could no longer be bothered to argue. He simply continued doing as he pleased.
He directly changed the subject and turned to ask, "Eldest Brother, what is the reason?"
Taishang's voice was gentle. "No matter how inadequate East Prince Gong may be, he was appointed Head of Male Immortals by our teacher. We need not give East Prince Gong face, but for our teacher's sake, we should still make the trip."
Upon hearing that answer.
Primordial Heavenly Lord and Tongtian both nodded instinctively.
They had not considered that aspect just now.
East Prince Gong's recent actions had simply been too detestable. Many beings in the Primordial Wilderness were dissatisfied with him. Were it not for their fear of his status, he would have long since been attacked by the masses.
The two did not ask any further questions.
Seeing that the three had fallen silent, Niu Ben's eyes turned as he smilingly moved closer. "Master!"
Taishang tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of amusement. "What is it?"
Others might not know, but Niu Ben understood that the one most protective of his own was not Primordial Heavenly Lord, but Taishang. Throughout the Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods, who had dared touch Xuandu?
Both the Interception Sect and Chan Teachings had people enter the Investiture of the Gods, yet not a single person from the Human Sect made the list.
At the time, the two factions had fought until their eyes turned red, but whenever they encountered someone from the Human Sect, they still had to show mercy.
Niu Ben smiled. "Master, a thousand years from now, may I accompany you to Purple Mansion Prefecture to broaden my horizons?"
"This Myriad Immortals Assembly sounds impressive. Perhaps mighty figures from every direction will gather there. I could at least make myself familiar to them. If I travel the Primordial Wilderness in the future and happen to offend someone, then for Master's and my Two Martial Uncles' sake, those great figures may not become angry so easily!"
Taishang had thought Niu Ben had some serious matter to discuss. It turned out to be such a trivial request.
He smiled and shook his head. "You only think about causing trouble, don't you?"
His words carried indulgent affection.
This mount was practically his disciple, and perhaps even closer than a disciple. He also knew about what had happened earlier. Third Brother had struck a little too lightly.
Niu Ben chuckled.
"Granted!" Taishang agreed.
Just then, Tongtian suddenly let out a surprised sound.
He then said in astonishment, "Your cultivation has actually reached the late stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm?"
As soon as those words left his mouth, Primordial Heavenly Lord sensed slightly and detected Niu Ben's true cultivation.
Their attention had been on the Purple Mansion Immortal Court's envoy just now. Curious about why he had come here, they had not carefully examined Niu Ben.
Yet so little time had passed, and Niu Ben's cultivation had risen again.
Seeing their astonished gazes, Niu Ben felt somewhat pleased with himself.
He modestly said, "I gained a little insight by chance. Then I returned to my clan and obtained a small opportunity."
Primordial Heavenly Lord and Tongtian both felt a little sour inside.
Look at him. He was merely Eldest Brother's mount, yet his cultivation was soaring upward.
Then they thought of the disciples under their respective sects.
Usually, every one of them was arrogant beyond belief, yet now they could not even compare to Eldest Brother's mount.
The two exchanged a glance. At that moment, their thoughts reached an unprecedented level of mutual understanding.
Once they returned, they absolutely had to properly temper their disciples.
Otherwise, it would truly be humiliating!
With a single look, they understood each other's meaning.
They had already begun thinking of how to temper their disciples, and they had to train them harshly.
If the disciples of their two sects learned that Niu Ben's increase in cultivation had brought their impending calamity upon them, they would probably want to eat Niu Ben alive.
Niu Ben left the Great Hall.
Zhao Gongming was still waiting outside, curious as well.
When he saw Niu Ben emerge, he immediately stepped forward and asked quietly, "Senior Brother, what did that Purple Mansion Envoy come for?"
"Nothing much. He simply invited the three Masters to Purple Mansion for a gathering."
Niu Ben answered casually.
Zhao Gongming nodded and did not ask further.
Those mighty figures occasionally gathered together to discuss the Dao. Such gatherings were common.
Niu Ben directly destroyed his own cave abode.
He was already somewhat impatient. Having made his choice, he naturally had to draw the prize.
He certainly could not draw it directly in front of the Three Pure Ones.
After returning to his cave abode, he used premium spirit spring water merely to wash his hands, hoping to improve his luck.
Although he knew it was only psychological, it concerned what reward he might receive.
"System, give me a draw!"
As his thought fell.
A screen appeared before him, displaying a Slot Machine.
Niu Ben's mouth twitched slightly. No matter how he looked at it, this thing seemed unreliable.
Then, four items appeared on the Slot Machine.
He looked over them one by one.
The first slot actually contained a drop of blood. He carefully checked its detailed description.
The instant he saw its contents, his heart began pounding wildly.
"Damn!"
"It's actually this versatile treasure!"
In his previous life, he had read countless Primordial Wilderness novels, and their protagonists would all obtain this item.
And it was none other than Pangu's Essence Blood!
There was naturally no need to explain the uses of Pangu's Essence Blood. If he drew this item, merely taking it out would make mighty figures from every direction fight until their heads were bloodied.
Though it was a versatile treasure, it was indeed a genuine supreme treasure.
He remembered clearly that in every Primordial Wilderness novel, there was not a single protagonist who had failed to obtain this item. It was said that Pangu's Essence Blood contained the Great Dao of Strength.
He suppressed his excitement. Just because it appeared there did not mean he would necessarily draw it.
At that moment, he turned his gaze toward the second slot!
