Three Pure Ones' Decision, Laozi's Approval

Though he saw through the intentions of his two junior brothers, Laozi made no move to stop or refuse them.

As they had said.

Cultivators of the same realm were no longer a match for Li Yun. The shift in status brought too great a change in benefits, and with the enhancement of Enlightenment Tea, after Li Yun fully perfected his power this time, he would have few opponents even within the True Immortal Realm, or even the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm. Only those at the Golden Immortal Realm would be worthy to trade blows with him.

Not to mention there were still over a hundred years. As long as Li Yun steadily improved without mishap, he could reach the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm. By then, facing Golden Immortal Realm opponents would bring some pressure, but not too much.

With this thought, Laozi immediately spoke: "I agree to this matter."

"Since you two have business to attend to, you may take your leave."

"When the Three Teachings Exchange Conference begins, I will have Li Yun enter the Golden Immortal Realm competition bracket."

"Many thanks, Big Brother!"

"Many thanks, Big Brother!"

Hearing Laozi's affirmative reply, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian breathed sighs of relief.

Even if Li Yun reached the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm before the exchange conference, there was still a gap compared to the Golden Immortal Realm. If they gave their disciples some extra guidance, then there was a chance to defeat him.

Of course, the main point was that if Li Yun participated in the Golden Immortal Realm level of the exchange conference, then the Chan and Jie Sects' True Immortal Realm or even Grand Unity True Immortal Realm disciples would not be ruthlessly crushed.

As their masters, they did not want to see their disciples' Dao Hearts shattered from being overwhelmed—that would truly be a loss outweighing the gain.

With that, Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian no longer hesitated. They turned and hurriedly left the Palace of Supreme Purity.

Though Laozi had agreed, whether their own disciples who had just entered the Golden Immortal Realm could truly contend against Li Yun was still uncertain. They indeed needed to strengthen them, especially knowing that Li Yun still possessed a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure within his body.

"True Immortal Realm late stage!"

"Did I just have an epiphany?"

Within the barrier, Li Yun felt his own condition and couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

Immediately, he quickly called up his Personal Panel to check:

[Li Yun]

[Race: Pangu Clan (Low Grade)]

[Nacent Soul Cultivation: True Immortal Realm Late Stage]

[Physical Body Cultivation: True Immortal Realm Peak]

[Technique: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique (Third Revolution)]

[Trait Slots: Child of Destiny (Rainbow), Great Witch Bloodline (Red), Top-Tier Comprehension (Red), Seventy-Two Transformations (Red), AFK (Purple)]

"Good heavens!"

"Physical body cultivation at True Immortal Realm Peak is within reason."

"But the race actually changed to Pangu Clan—is this the benefit of Pangu Fortune?"

After reading the Personal Panel information, Li Yun's heart was surging with excitement.

Especially since he had gained four Empty Trait Slots this time. Adding the two remaining from before, he had a total of six empty slots.

With that thought, Li Yun didn't hesitate. He directly spoke: "System, equip the three traits: Alchemy Genius, Artifact Refining Genius, and Formation Genius."

These three traits, like AFK, were purple but held immense value.

In the future, he planned to take the upgrade route. Though it would consume a significantly larger number of traits, it was stable and wouldn't be random.

As for obtaining traits.

As his strength grew, Li Yun didn't think it would be too difficult.

Not to mention that the Three Teachings Exchange Conference was coming soon. The more opponents he defeated, the more traits he would gain. And since the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects inherently possessed no low talent, the traits they dropped couldn't possibly be garbage like green or blue.

[Ding! Equipped successfully!]

With the system's prompt sounding, the three traits—Alchemy Genius, Artifact Refining Genius, and Formation Genius—were installed.

For a moment, Li Yun felt a clarity surge through his mind. His innate talent had been greatly enhanced, but because he hadn't studied alchemy, artifact refining, or formations yet, it couldn't manifest for now.

Even so, Li Yun was extremely pleased.

After all, with these things, his path to becoming stronger would be much smoother.

"Disperse~"

Just then, Laozi sensed that Li Yun had completed his breakthrough. He waved his hand and withdrew the barrier barrier.

Then, Laozi stepped forward and looked at Li Yun, asking: "How do you feel?"

"Master~"

Snapping back to reality, Li Yun quickly bowed and said: "Many thanks for the tea bestowed by Master!"

"This tea is so miraculous that it allowed this disciple to enter an epiphany. Not only has my strength greatly increased, but I faintly feel that my bloodline has truly belonged to the Pangu lineage, unlike before!"

Hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Laozi's eyes.

Belonging solely to the Pangu lineage meant that their earlier recognition had not only stolen the Ancestor Witch's fortune but had also truly helped Li Yun complete a transformation of identity.

Though the essence had not changed, from now on, Li Yun's bloodline would be primarily Pangu bloodline, with the human bloodline becoming supplementary.

Thinking this over, Laozi nodded approvingly and said, "Well done!"

"All of this is your own merit. The Enlightenment Tea was merely the icing on the cake."

"This epiphany has greatly increased your cultivation, and your strength has reached an entirely new level. Your two martial uncles believe you are no longer suited for the True Immortal Realm exchange meet—even Chan and Jie Sect disciples at the Grand Unity True Immortal level may not be your match. So, after discussing it with me, we have decided to place you in the Golden Immortal Realm disciples' exchange meet. What do you think?"

Fighting against Golden Immortal Realm disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects?

Hearing this, Li Yun was stunned at first, then ecstatic inside.

Everyone knew the rules of recruitment for the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects. To have reached the Golden Immortal Realm now meant one was absolutely an elite among the Chan and Jie Sects, with talent and potential far surpassing the rest.

Thus, defeating them would yield affixes of significantly higher quality—likely starting at Purple Affix at the very least. Where was the difficulty here? This was a godsent opportunity.

Thinking this, Li Yun did not hesitate. "Master, your disciple will follow the arrangements of you and the two martial uncles."

"The Golden Immortal Realm is indeed more powerful, but your disciple will strive to go further and reach the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm before the exchange meet. Then, even facing Golden Immortal Realm opponents, I can still fight."

"Excellent!"

Seeing that Li Yun had no resistance but instead brimmed with fighting spirit, Laozi grew even more pleased with him.

Without further ado, Laozi took out a bottle of golden elixir and tossed it to Li Yun. "Inside are twelve Three-Revolving Golden Elixirs. Once you stabilize your power, take them to cultivate. They will make entering the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm no difficult task."

"Beyond that, you must also intensify your training in the Taiqing Divine Thunder. After all, the sparring at the exchange meet is not merely a contest of cultivation level."
