"Big Brother, your disciple is truly enviable."
Yuanshi Tianzun opened his mouth, his heart overflowing with jealousy.
He had previously been troubled by Li Yun's status as a Human-Witch Hybrid, but their actions had directly transformed him into Pangu bloodline independent of the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestor Witches, and the Witch Clan. It could be said that Li Yun's identity had undergone a magnificent transformation.
Li Yun now possessed genuine Pangu bloodline. With the blessing of Pangu Creation Luck, his foundation, potential, and everything else placed him among the very finest in the Primordial World.
And now, even his comprehension was so outstanding.
As Saints, they gained no effect from drinking Enlightenment Tea. Even before attaining Dao and becoming Saints, they had never succeeded with it.
But now?
Li Yun was merely at the Mysterious Immortal Realm, yet he had entered an epiphany after just one sip. Where was the justice in that? Such powerful talent and comprehension left the Twelve Golden Immortals of his Chan Teachings, along with countless other disciples, far behind.
"Yes, Big Brother. Your disciple truly has limitless prospects."
Sect Master Tongtian sighed with emotion as well.
When they had helped Li Yun shed his former identity and become Pangu bloodline, he had not thought much of it. He had merely believed it was the best way to strike at the Ancestor Witches and the Witch Clan.
Yet he had never expected Li Yun's comprehension to be so exceptional. Combined with his strengthened and purified foundation and origins, Li Yun was now perfect in every sense, without any flaw. Even the drawback of his Human-Witch Hybrid heritage, which had made him unsuitable as the heir of the Three Teachings, was gone.
Of course, Li Yun had already made up his mind to remain within the Human Teachings.
Otherwise, Tongtian would have competed with Yuanshi Tianzun to take him as a disciple. It would not have been impossible to even cultivate him as an heir.
"Master, I've broken through."
At that moment, Xuandu's excited voice rang out.
Looking over, they saw that although Xuandu had not entered an epiphany after drinking the Enlightenment Tea, he had still gained considerable benefits.
Not only had his cultivation reached the Mysterious Immortal Realm, it had even advanced directly to the late Mysterious Immortal Realm.
"Not bad~"
Laozi looked at Xuandu approvingly. Though he could not compare to Li Yun, among the Second Generation Disciples of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects, he was unquestionably outstanding.
Xuandu's comprehension in particular might not match Li Yun's, but it was absolutely among the best of the Disciples of the Three Sects.
Thinking of this, Laozi waved at Xuandu. "All right. Since you've completed your breakthrough, go back and properly consolidate your cultivation."
"The Three Teachings Exchange Conference will begin in a little over a hundred years. Make sure your strength is stable before you take the stage."
"Yes, Master!"
Xuandu answered, quickly calming down.
He subconsciously glanced at Li Yun, who stood motionless and was clearly in an unusual state. Xuandu was initially stunned, then thoughtfully murmured, "Has Junior Brother obtained another Fortuitous Encounter?"
"It seems Junior Brother's gains this time won't be small. I'd better return and stabilize my cultivation as soon as possible!"
Having made up his mind, Xuandu no longer hesitated. He bowed to Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Sect Master Tongtian. "Master, two Martial Uncles, Xuandu will take his leave!"
With that, he turned and headed outside.
Laozi and the other two paid him no heed. Instead, they fixed their burning gazes on Li Yun, waiting for his epiphany to end.
After all, this was an epiphany. The longer it lasted, the greater the benefits he would receive. Perhaps even...
Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Break!"
That day, Li Yun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted under the watchful gazes of the Three Pure Ones.
The next moment, the Magical Power around his body surged. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique revolved frantically, while his cultivation rose at an astonishing rate: late Mysterious Immortal Realm—peak Mysterious Immortal Realm—early True Immortal Realm—mid True Immortal Realm—late True Immortal Realm!
Only after reaching the late True Immortal Realm did the turbulent Magical Power around Li Yun gradually settle. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had also successfully advanced to the late third revolution. With the help of the AFK Trait, it automatically circulated within Li Yun's body, continuously tempering and stabilizing his newly improved cultivation realm.
"Good, good, good~"
"He directly broke through an entire major realm. Not bad, not bad~"
Seeing this, Laozi stroked his beard and smiled in satisfaction.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian, on the other hand, wore complicated expressions.
Breaking through an entire major realm in three days might have only occurred within a relatively weak realm, but it still demonstrated Li Yun's potential and strength.
They had standards for accepting disciples: only those below the Golden Immortal Realm could become disciples.
However, after the disciples who had passed the tests and entered the Chan and Jie Sects received teachings from Saints, quite a few had reached the Golden Immortal Realm. Yet most were only in the early or mid Golden Immortal Realm.
Under such circumstances, the vast majority of Chan and Jie Sect disciples remained at the Mysterious Immortal Realm and True Immortal Realm.
They had already asked about it. When Xuandu and Li Yun had first become disciples, their cultivations had both been extremely low. One had been at the Earth Immortal Realm, while the other had only been at the Human Immortal Realm.
But how much time had passed?
Xuandu had already reached the late Mysterious Immortal Realm, while Li Yun had reached the late True Immortal Realm right beneath their eyes.
Li Yun was especially cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, a method that cultivated both the Nascent Soul and the physical body.
For ordinary cultivators, physical strength could practically be ignored. Their bodies were merely somewhat stronger.
But Li Yun was different.
He possessed Pangu bloodline. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was practically tailored for him, and the strength and power of his body would even surpass his Nascent Soul Cultivation.
In that case, let alone those of the same realm, even the outstanding Golden Immortal Realm disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects might not be his match. If he participated in the Three Teachings Exchange Conference, then...
"Big Brother!"
Yuanshi Tianzun abruptly rose to his feet and said, "There are still more than a hundred years before the Exchange Meeting. I should return and make preparations as well."
"However, given Martial Nephew Li Yun's current strength, he absolutely has no opponent within the True Immortal Realm. When the time comes, how about arranging for him to enter the Golden Immortal Realm Arena?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sect Master Tongtian reacted as well. He immediately stood up and bowed to Laozi. "Big Brother, I should take my leave too."
"But from what I have seen of Martial Nephew Li Yun today, he is indeed suited for the Golden Immortal Realm Arena. After all, the True Immortal Realm cultivators under Second Brother and me truly are no match for him. Even joining forces, they might not be able to pose a threat to him."
Hearing this, how could Laozi fail to understand what the two meant?
Li Yun's rise had been too rapid, making them feel a sense of crisis.
Though it was merely an Exchange Meeting, they had previously all assumed it was a contest between Yuanshi's Chan Teachings and Tongtian's Jie Teachings. But Li Yun's sudden rise had shattered that notion. They even had no choice but to return and give their disciples extra training, otherwise...
