Purple Firmament Palace Opens, Tong Tian: Hmm? Yun Ting, why are you here?

Looking at Yun Ting, after burning the Immortal Court, he directly activated the Earth-Traversing Golden Light, then used the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Great Divine Ability, Upright Without Shadow, to slip into Five Villages Temple, muttering, "Mm, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, a top-tier Great Power, but unfortunately, not home, hehe, and he didn't even activate the defensive formation. Really not afraid of losing things."

"Nonsense. Longevity Mountain Five Villages Temple, Zhen Yuanzi's strength is formidable, and he carries the Earth Book on him. There's only one Ginseng Fruit Tree, which can't be moved. At worst, someone might steal a ginseng fruit... Besides, did he really not set up a formation?" The system directly retorted in Yun Ting's mind.

"That counts as a properly set formation? Upright Without Shadow plus Embryonic Transformation and Shape Shifting, two divine abilities and I'm in. ╭(╯^╰)╮, that's barely a formation at all." Yun Ting grumbled inwardly.

"Heh, using two consecutive Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper divine abilities just to steal a fruit. Mm, you really think the divine abilities in the Jade Slip your Second Uncle gave you are as common as cabbages?" Inside the system space, a certain mature woman sipped coffee and snarked. Then, she directly issued a task: "Mission released: Steal all the ginseng fruits from the tree. Reward: One bottle of Cold Pond Heavenly Dew, which can regenerate the Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Yun Ting muttered upon hearing this, "Don't tell me this Ginseng Fruit Tree is going to fall... Holy crap, System, you're already planning all the way to the Journey to the West? Damn, you're good, my system."

After that, following the system's instructions, he stole all the ginseng fruits and left behind Zhunti's aura. Just as he was about to cause more trouble, the Purple Firmament Palace opened, and Hongjun used his great divine power to teleport Yun Ting directly inside.

As soon as he entered, Tong Tian spotted Yun Ting in the Purple Firmament Palace, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Didn't you say you weren't coming..."

"Hehe, I don't know either. Suddenly, I was just here. Father, is this the Purple Firmament Palace?" Yun Ting asked, looking confused.

"Ding. Hongjun was afraid you'd keep causing trouble and, in a fit of impulse, uproot the Ginseng Fruit Tree, so he yanked you straight from Five Villages Temple to the Purple Firmament Palace." At that moment, the system's prompt rang in Yun Ting's mind.

Tong Tian nodded and directly sat Yun Ting down on a cushion. Just as Yun Ting was about to look around, he heard Hongjun's voice: "Silence. The sermon begins."

Hongjun then spoke: "Among the ancient alchemical classics, beyond the Cantong Qi, there is the Yellow Court Classic. Everyone reads the Yellow Court Classic, yet they see it as incompatible with the Cantong Qi..." He spoke so eloquently that flowers rained from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the earth. All the assembled Great Powers were enraptured, each reacting differently—some waving their arms and stomping their feet. Yun Ting snickered inwardly, thinking, "Getting drunk on a sermon? Truly worthy of being Great Powers."

Just then, a snoring sound suddenly rang out. Yun Ting followed the noise and mentally connected with the system: "Check the panel."

"Name: Dijiang. Identity: Ancestral Witch. Cultivation: Quasi-Sage physical body, Primordial Spirit cultivation: None. Traits: Space Law (Purple), Ancestral Witch Body (Purple), Lack of Wisdom (Black)..."

"Name: Gou Mang. Identity: Ancestral Witch. Cultivation: Quasi-Sage physical body, no Primordial Spirit. Traits: Lack of Wisdom (Black), Wood Law (Red), Ancestral Witch Body (Purple)..."

After Yun Ting checked the panels of all Twelve Ancestral Witches, he thought to himself, "No wonder they're snoring. No Primordial Spirit, can't understand the sermon at all, just treats it as a lullaby. Mm, out of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, only Houtu and Zhu Jiuyin are somewhat smart. The rest lack wisdom. Yeah, I've always heard the Twelve Ancestral Witches can't scrape together three brains among them. Sure enough."

"Ah, I was planning to let him stir up more trouble for Zhunti this time, but there's no chance now. Hongjun messed it up... Just having East King Duke go up against Mount Sumeru is boring." Inside the system space, a certain system grumbled to itself.

After that one complaint, the system directly issued a mission: "Ding. Myriad Laws Return to Origin and Heavenly Fortune, dual trait powers activated. Mission released: Borrow the spiritual energy of the Purple Firmament Palace to ascend directly to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal."

Yun Ting immediately activated his cultivation technique, coordinating with the Dao resonance of Hongjun's sermon. A misty aura rose around him, and before long, his Three Flowers bloomed open. Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, achieved.

This breakthrough was no small matter. All the Great Powers listening to the sermon had their Dao resonance snatched away, and they slowly turned to look at Yun Ting, thinking, 'This child has no small fortune. Breaking through in the Purple Firmament Palace, young and with extremely high potential.'

As they pondered, they saw the Three Flowers atop Yun Ting's head slowly bloom—Nine-Rank Three Flowers. This talent instantly shocked all the assembled Great Powers.

Zhen Yuanzi secretly transmitted a message to Hong Yun: "Tong Tian has good fortune. This child actually has the talent of Nine-Rank Three Flowers. By all logic, with Tong Tian's level of cultivation, it's very hard to produce such an Origin. Could it be atavism?"

Hong Yun replied, "You ask me, who am I supposed to ask? I only have Eight-Rank Three Flowers. How could I compare to him?"
