Ao Guang flew over from the side, looking at Bai Jin with immense resentment, like a heartbroken husband whose wife had been stolen.

Bai Jin reached out and patted Ao Guang's shoulder, comforting him, "What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force. What is meant to be yours will not run away, and what is not, you cannot obtain."

Ao Guang grumbled, "I think this Innate Spiritual Treasure should have been mine."

Bai Jin glanced at him, let out a chuckle, and said, "You're so shameless, do your parents know?"

Ao Guang blurted out instinctively, "That old guy is even more shameless than me."

Bai Jin was speechless. Good heavens, was this a dragon? It was clearly a nest of scoundrel snakes.

Bai Jin said irritably, "Do you want to go out or not?!"

Ao Guang nodded repeatedly, eagerly saying, "Yes! Yes! Let's go out now."

Bai Jin waved his hand, and the large red robe mother tree in the distance instantly disappeared, leaving a large hole in the ground. A ripple swept through space, and the two of them vanished into the Innate Undying Space.

At the foot of Mount Wuyi, two figures appeared.

Ao Guang threw his arms around the sky and shouted excitedly, "Ah! The sky~ Ah! The sea~ I, Ao Guang, am back~!"

Slap~ Bai Jin reached out and tapped Ao Guang on the head, saying, "Keep it down."

Ao Guang yelped and clutched his head, glaring at Bai Jin with wide eyes, and said disdainfully, "How dare you! You dare to hit me?! I am the Dragon Prince!"

Bai Jin snorted and raised the fist in his hand, looking at him menacingly.

Ao Guang swallowed and pretended to be tough, "I am rich in the East Sea and command thousands of water tribes."

"Heh heh~" Four Immortal Swords shimmered with cold light from Bai Jin's sleeve.

Ao Guang immediately bowed and scraped, fawning obsequiously, "Big shot, what are your orders?"

"You are the Dragon Prince, I wouldn't dare to give you orders."

"Dragon Prince? What Dragon Prince? Where is he?" Ao Guang looked around.

Bai Jin was immediately amused by Ao Guang. So the future Dragon King of the East Sea was such a shameless fellow. He immediately asked seriously, "Do you know of a mountain in the East Sea called Liubo Mountain, where there is a beast shaped like an ox, with a dark body and no horns, one leg, which, upon entering the water, will surely bring wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and moon, its sound is like thunder, and its name is Kui."

Ao Guang blurted out, "Kui Ox!"

Bai Jin eagerly asked, "You know it?"

Ao Guang nodded, "I do! The Kui Ox is one of the overlords of the East Sea, very powerful. Even my father doesn't easily provoke it."

It's the one. Master's destined mount. What's the point of white cranes or peacocks? A Kui Ox is much more comfortable to ride, both majestic and steady.

Bai Jin immediately said, "I'll send you to the East Sea, and you can take me to find the Kui Ox."

Ao Guang subtly glanced at Bai Jin and whispered, "If I take you to find the Kui Ox, and you fight it, won't the Kui Ox resent me? I won't do such a thankless task unless you give me some benefits."

Bai Jin asked, "What benefits do you want?"

Ao Guang's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together, "If you could give me the Innate Spiritual Treasure you just obtained."

Half of a flashing Immortal Sword flew out from Bai Jin's sleeve and hovered in front of Ao Guang.

Ao Guang immediately bowed ninety degrees, gestured towards the east with his hand, and said obsequiously, "My lord, please go first!!"

Bai Jin flew towards the east. Ao Guang straightened up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly followed.

On Qingfeng Peak of Mount Kunlun, the door of a palace boomed open, and a figure walked out. He had a dignified demeanor and an imposing presence, it was Daoist Duobao, the chief disciple of Tongtian.

Daoist Duobao's divine sense moved, and he immediately detected some unfamiliar auras on the mountain.

Two elegant women walked over from the side.

Holy Mother Wudang bowed and smiled, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on leaving seclusion."

Daoist Duobao returned the bow, "It wasn't seclusion, so how can I be leaving it?! Why have some unfamiliar auras suddenly appeared on the mountain? Please enlighten me, Junior Sister."

Holy Mother Wudang's lips curved into a smile, "They are all disciples newly accepted by Master." She looked at the woman beside her and said, "This is Junior Sister Jinling, Master's newly accepted personal disciple."

Holy Mother Jinling bowed and said crisply, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Daoist Duobao returned the bow and smiled, "Greetings, Junior Sister."

Holy Mother Wudang said, "The others are all Outer Sect Disciples accepted by Master. I will have them come to pay their respects later."

Daoist Duobao said indifferently, "Since they are just Outer Sect Disciples, there's no need to meet them."

Holy Mother Wudang persuaded, "After all, they are fellow disciples..."

Daoist Duobao shook his head and said, "Junior Sister, since Master has classified them as Outer Sect Disciples, it means they all have shortcomings and cannot tread the path of the Great Dao. We are destined not to walk side by side. It's best for Junior Sister to have less contact with them, to avoid being implicated in the future."

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Three bell tolls echoed across the Kunlun mountain range.

Daoist Duobao asked in confusion, "Why has the Three Pure Ones Bell rung?! Junior Sisters, let's go to the Main Peak."

Holy Mother Wudang and Holy Mother Jinling nodded.

The three of them stepped on auspicious clouds and flew towards the central Taiqing Peak.

A moment later, more than ten people had gathered in front of Taiqing Hall, murmuring amongst themselves. Daoist Duobao and the two sisters stood before them.

The great doors of the Taiqing Hall creaked open, and the murmuring instantly ceased.

Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian emerged from the hall.

Over ten disciples bowed in unison, saying loudly, "Greetings, Master, greetings to both Martial Uncles."

A flicker of displeasure crossed Yuanshi's eyes.

Tongtian chuckled, raised his hand, and said, "Rise!"

"Thank you, Master~" over a dozen voices responded in unison.

Taishang, his expression unreadable, slowly spoke, "Duobao!"

Daoist Duobao stepped forward, respectfully saying, "This disciple is here!"

Taishang said, "Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti from the West will be visiting with their disciples. Please host their disciples well."

Daoist Duobao respectfully replied, "Yes!"

Primordial Lord of Heaven scanned the disciples below and said sternly, "Do not lose your manners."

The many disciples responded in unison, "Yes!"

Tongtian glanced at Yuanshi and said, "And do not lose your sharpness."

Yuanshi frowned. "Junior Brother, our guests are here. How can you be so confrontational and lose your composure?"

Tongtian smiled. "Senior Brother, if guests try to dominate the host, of course, we must fight back."

Taishang said, "They are here!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian immediately stopped bickering. They could quarrel amongst themselves at home, but they had to present a united front in front of outsiders.

A golden auspicious cloud flew in from the West. Standing on the cloud were several figures, led by the grim-faced Jieyin and the smiling Zhunti, with their disciples standing behind them.

The auspicious cloud landed on the summit of Mount Kunlun and dissipated.

Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian stepped forward to greet them, with Duobao, Wudang, and the other disciples following behind.
