God-Tier Trait System

The Primordial World!

Kunlun Mountain, Palace of Supreme Purity.

"Xuandu of the Human Race pays respects to the Saint of Supreme Purity!"

"Li Yun of the Human Race pays respects to the Saint of Supreme Purity!"

Inside the majestic palace, two youths bowed in salute. In the main seat area ahead, Grand Pure One Laozi, with his crane-white hair, youthful complexion, and Daoist robes, sat calmly accepting their obeisance.

"Xuandu!"

After a brief silence, Laozi spoke slowly: "You are of the Human Race and possess a steadfast Dao Heart; you may become a Direct Disciple under My tutelage!"

"Many thanks, Saint of Supreme Purity!"

Hearing this, Xuandu—who stood on the left with black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and a thin but determined frame—was overjoyed, his somewhat malnourished face flushing with excitement.

"Li Yun~"

At this moment, Laozi's voice resonated once more, but he offered no further words.

"This disciple is here~"

Sensing Laozi's silence, Li Yun, standing in the area to the right, grew nervous.

He was a transmigrator.

A thousand years ago, he had transmigrated into the Primordial World.

However, he was not purely of the Human Race, but a descendant of a union between a human and a member of the Witch Clan.

It just so happened that the Three Pure Ones were attaining the Dao and becoming Saints, recruiting disciples at Kunlun Mountain. Li Yun had intended to come and seek apprenticeship, only learning this secret from his mother just before his departure.

He was lucky; he had encountered no danger or obstacles along the way, and even met Xuandu outside Kunlun Mountain, who was also heading out to seek apprenticeship.

As a transmigrator, Li Yun knew clearly that Xuandu would become Laozi's only Direct Disciple, the successor to the Human Teachings, and the future master of the Human Teachings.

Precisely because of this, Li Yun abandoned the idea of participating in the Jie Teachings' assessment and focused entirely on clinging to the right person, following Xuandu to the assessment grounds of the Human Teachings.

Unsurprisingly, by sticking with Xuandu, Li Yun successfully passed the external assessment and, under the envious gazes of countless living beings and cultivators, followed Xuandu all the way to the Palace of Supreme Purity.

But now?

Laozi seemed to have seen through his origins and situation, and was clearly hesitant at this moment; this was not good news.

Although he possessed the bloodline of a Human-Witch, the power belonging to the Witch Clan had not manifested in him; he was merely physically stronger than the average human.

Beyond that, Grand Pure One Laozi was the head of the Six Saints and the head of the Three Pure Ones, and his ability to protect his own far exceeded that of Yuanshi and Tongtian. If he could join his sect, it would be vital for his own safety and future. If this apprenticeship failed, then...

"You are quite the slippery one!"

Laozi took a deep look at Li Yun. Since the latter had already addressed him as Master and had passed the assessment he had set, he truly could not refuse him or drive him away.

However, Li Yun's Human-Witch bloodline was indeed a problem. The relationship between the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestor Witches was poor, even antagonistic. Even now that they had attained the Dao and become Saints, the conflict between the two sides had not eased, but rather reached an even greater height.

Thinking of this, Laozi spoke slowly: "Very well, I shall not pursue or inquire into your situation, but you cannot become a Direct Disciple. I shall accept you as an Inner Disciple; are you willing?"

Inner Disciple!

Hearing this, Li Yun felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.

An Inner Disciple was certainly good, but compared to a Direct Disciple, it was far, far inferior.

However, the weight of an Inner Disciple of the Taiqing Lineage was no less than that of a Direct Disciple of the Chan Teachings, Jie Teachings, or Western Teachings.

After all, Li Yun knew very well that Laozi would not accept any more disciples until the end of the Investiture of the Gods; he would only take on some Registered Disciples after that event, and there were truly no other real Inner Disciples.

Therefore, once he agreed, he would be the only Inner Disciple, and the value of that was self-evident.

At this thought, Li Yun quickly suppressed his inner emotions and bowed without hesitation: "This disciple is willing. Li Yun pays respects to Master!"

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully become a disciple of Grand Pure One Laozi. God-Tier Trait System activated. Rewarding one Newcomer Gift Pack!]

"System!"

"A Golden Finger?"

His spirit lifted. Li Yun never expected that he would awaken a Golden Finger after becoming Laozi's disciple.

One must know that in the thousand years since he transmigrated to the Primordial World, he had looked forward to the appearance of a Golden Finger or the arrival of a system for who knows how long.

But after repeated failed calls and failed attempts, and under the baptism of several hundred years of time, he had long since ceased to hold expectations for it, yet he never imagined that today would bring a double blessing.

Thinking of this, Li Yun could not care about anything else and hurriedly asked internally: "System, introduce your capabilities!"

[Ding! God-Tier Trait System. The host can obtain traits contained within others through their favorability to enhance oneself, improving origins, talent, potential...]

[Traits are divided into: Green, Blue, Purple, Red, and Gold.]

[The Trait Panel is contained within the Newcomer Gift Pack. Does the host wish to open the Newcomer Gift Pack?]

"Open!"

Nodding thoughtfully, Li Yun did not hesitate.

After all, he roughly understood the function of this Golden Finger: to obtain powerful traits to attach to himself, thereby gaining the talents, abilities, and other means brought by those traits.

[Ding! Newbie Gift Pack opened!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Child of Destiny (Gold)], [Great Witch Bloodline (Red)], and [Top-Tier Comprehension (Red)]!]

[Child of Destiny (Gold): One who carries special fortune; can turn misfortune into luck and increase the probability of obtaining treasures...]

[Great Witch Bloodline (Red): Possesses the physical and law-based talents of a Great Witch.]

[Top-Tier Comprehension (Red): Possesses top-tier comprehension; can comprehend all laws and divine abilities in the world~]

[Ding! Talent slots unlocked. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3 talent slots. Detecting the host as the Child of Destiny, talent slots increased by 2. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a total of six talent slots!]

The next second, Li Yun felt his vision blur, and a special panel appeared before his eyes.

[Li Yun]

[Race: Human-Witch]

[Nascent Soul Cultivation: Early Human Immortal]

[Physical Body Cultivation: Late Earth Immortal Realm]

[Talent Slots: Empty, Empty...]

[Note: The host can equip talent entries to increase talents. Each realm breakthrough adds one talent slot, and every favorability reaching 100% grants one talent slot!]

[Note: Talent entries can be obtained by defeating or killing enemies. Every five green entries can be synthesized into one blue entry, five blue entries into one red entry, and five red entries into one gold entry!]

"Equip!"

"Equip the Child of Destiny, Great Witch Bloodline, and Top-Tier Comprehension entries!"

After reading the system's introduction, Li Yun issued the command without hesitation.

The next second, Li Yun felt a warm current surge into his body as the three entries were instantly equipped into the talent slots.

For a moment, Li Yun felt refreshed and clear-headed. The vital energy and blood within him surged, and his physical body was clearly strengthened. The physical cultivation talent that originally belonged to the Witch Clan seemed to have been awakened, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort and satisfaction.

"Very good!"

At this moment, Laozi nodded with satisfaction.

He also sensed the slight change in Li Yun, but he did not pay much attention to it; after all, being merely an Inner Disciple rather than a personal disciple meant that some things were fundamentally different.

Thinking of this, Laozi looked at Xuandu and Li Yun, waved his hand, and produced two Jade Talismans that floated in mid-air before asking, "Since you have taken Me as your master, today I shall impart to you the cultivation methods of the Taiqing Lineage!"

"The Jade Talisman on the left contains the Supreme Purity Sacred Art, which This Seat compiled after attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint. The Jade Talisman on the right contains the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, which I obtained from the inheritance of Pangu. It is a method for cultivating both the Nascent Soul and the physical body. You two may choose for yourselves~"
