Enlightenment Tea's Epiphany, True Immortal Realm Late Stage

"Big Brother, your disciple truly makes one envious."

Opening his mouth, Yuanshi Tianzun's heart was now a vat of overturned vinegar.

Previously, he had agonized over Li Yun being a Human-Witch Hybrid, but later, through their actions, they had directly turned him into an independent Pangu bloodline bearer, separate from the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestor Witches, and the Witch Clan. This could be said to have completed a magnificent transformation of Li Yun's identity.

At this moment, Li Yun was a genuine Pangu bloodline bearer. With the blessing of Pangu Creation Luck, whether it was his foundation, potential, or anything else, he was the top-tier existence in the Primordial World.

Now, even his comprehension was so outstanding.

As Saints, drinking Enlightenment Tea had no effect on them, and even in the days before they had Attained Dao and become Saints, they had never succeeded.

But now?

Li Yun, with merely the cultivation of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, had entered enlightenment with a single sip. Who could reason with that? Such formidable talent and comprehension had directly left his Chan Teachings' Twelve Golden Immortals and a vast number of disciples far behind, by who knew how many streets.

"Yes, Big Brother, this disciple of yours truly has boundless prospects."

Sect Master Tongtian also let out a somewhat emotional sigh.

When he had helped Li Yun undergo a complete transformation into a Pangu bloodline bearer earlier, he hadn't fully realized it. He had only thought that this matter was the best choice to strike at the Ancestor Witches and the Witch Clan.

He never expected Li Yun's comprehension to be so outstanding. Coupled with his foundation and origins being whitewashed and strengthened, it could be said that Li Yun was now truly perfect, without any flaws. Even the drawback of being unsuitable as a successor for the Three Teachings due to his Human-Witch Hybrid status had vanished.

It was only because Li Yun had already made up his mind to remain within the Human Teachings.

If it were otherwise, he might have vied with Yuanshi Tianzun to take him as a disciple, or even considered grooming him as a successor.

"Master, I have broken through."

At this moment, Xuandu's excited voice rang out.

Following the sound, one could see that after drinking the Enlightenment Tea, although he hadn't entered enlightenment, he had still gained considerable benefits.

His cultivation hadn't only reached the Mysterious Immortal Realm, but had directly entered the late stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

"Not bad~"

Yuanshi Tianzun cast an appreciative glance at Xuandu. Although he couldn't compare to Li Yun's brilliance, among the second-generation disciples of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects, he was definitely at the upper level.

Especially Xuandu's comprehension. While it might not match Li Yun's, it was absolutely top-tier among the disciples of the Three Teachings.

Thinking of this, Laozi waved his hand at Xuandu and said, "Alright, since you've completed your breakthrough, go back and stabilize your cultivation well."

"In a little over a hundred years, the Three Teachings Exchange Conference will begin. Make sure you can stabilize your own power before stepping onto the stage."

"Yes, Master!"

Acknowledging the order, Xuandu quickly calmed down.

He subconsciously glanced at Li Yun, who stood motionless and was clearly in a special state. He was startled at first, then thoughtfully said, "Junior Brother has obtained another Fortuitous Encounter?"

"It seems Junior Brother's improvement this time won't be small. I'd better go back and stabilize my cultivation as quickly as possible!"

Having made up his mind, Xuandu hesitated no longer. He bowed respectfully to Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Sect Master Tongtian, saying, "Master, Two Martial Uncles, Xuandu takes his leave!"

With that, he turned and walked out.

Laozi and the other two paid him no mind. Instead, they fixed their burning gazes on Li Yun, waiting for his current enlightenment to end.

After all, this was enlightenment. The longer it lasted, the greater the benefits gained. And perhaps even more...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

"Break~"

On this day, under the watchful eyes of the Three Pure Ones, Li Yun suddenly opened his eyes and let out a low shout.

The next moment, his Magical Power stirred restlessly. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique spun wildly at this moment, and his cultivation rose rapidly: Mysterious Immortal Realm late stage—Mysterious Immortal Realm peak—True Immortal Realm early stage—True Immortal Realm mid stage—True Immortal Realm late stage!

Only when he had reached the late stage of the True Immortal Realm did Li Yun's restless Magical Power gradually calm. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had also successfully advanced to the late stage of the Third Revolution. With the help of the AFK Trait, it operated automatically within his body, constantly tempering and stabilizing the newly elevated cultivation realm.

"Good, good, good~"

"Breaking through an entire major realm, not bad, not bad~"

Seeing this, Laozi stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled.

In contrast, Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian wore complex expressions.

Breaking through an entire major realm in three days—though it was merely a minor realm—still spoke volumes about Li Yun's potential and strength.

One must know that their standards for taking disciples were that only those below the Golden Immortal Realm could become their students.

However, after the disciples who had previously completed their assessments and joined the Chan and Jie Sects received the Saints' teachings, many had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, but they were basically at the early or mid stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.

Under these circumstances, the vast majority of disciples in the Chan and Jie Sects were at the Mysterious Immortal or True Immortal Realm.

They had already inquired earlier. Whether it was Xuandu or Li Yun, both had extremely low cultivation when they became disciples. One was at the Earth Immortal Realm, and the other was merely at the Human Immortal Realm.

Yet how much time had passed since then?

Xuandu had already reached the late stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, and Li Yun had, right under their noses, reached the late stage of the True Immortal Realm.

Especially since Li Yun was cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, a method that cultivated both the Primordial Spirit and the physical body.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, their physical strength would be almost negligible, merely having a slightly tougher body.

But Li Yun was different.

He possessed the Pangu bloodline, and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was tailor-made for him; the strength and power of his physical body might even surpass his Nascent Soul Cultivation.

Thus, not to mention those at the same cultivation level, even the outstanding Golden Immortal Realm disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects might not necessarily be his match. If he were to participate in the Three Teachings Exchange Conference, then...

"Big Brother!"

Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly stood up and said, "There are still over a hundred years until the exchange conference. I should return and make preparations."

"However, given Martial Nephew Li Yun's situation, he is absolutely without peer in the True Immortal Realm. How about arranging for him to compete on the Golden Immortal Realm arena?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Tongtian also reacted. He immediately stood up and cupped his fist toward Laozi, saying, "Big Brother, I too should take my leave."

"But based on my observations of Martial Nephew Li Yun today, he is indeed suited for the Golden Immortal Realm arena. After all, the True Immortal Realm cultivators under my and Second Brother's disciples are truly no match for him—not even if they join forces could they pose a threat."

Hearing this, how could Laozi not understand their intentions?

It was that Li Yun's rise had been too swift, making them feel a sense of crisis.

Though it was merely an exchange conference, before this they had tacitly assumed it would be a contest between Yuanshi and Tongtian's Chan and Jie Sects. But Li Yun's meteoric rise had shattered that notion, and now they even had to return and give their own disciples extra training—otherwise...
