Three Teachings Exchange Conference

Listening to Xuandu's words, Li Yun was somewhat confused.

How could the matters between Yuanshi and Tongtian affect the Human Teachings?

And as for the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects, their conflicts shouldn't have spread to him and Xuandu, who were disciples of the Human Teachings.

But before he could ask anything, Xuandu had already pulled him into the palace. Laozi, as if sensing their arrival, was sitting in the main seat.

For a moment, Li Yun set aside his other thoughts. Standing beside Xuandu, he bowed and said, "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

"Mm, rise!"

Laozi glanced at Xuandu and Li Yun, then waved his hand.

However, when his gaze fell on Li Yun, a clear flash of surprise and bewilderment passed through Laozi's eyes.

Li Yun's cultivation level could not be hidden from a Saint like him, and that was precisely why Laozi felt somewhat astonished.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

His disciple had actually succeeded in cultivating it.

And judging from Li Yun's aura, this was no mere beginner's success. Having reached the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm, the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had already reached its mid-phase.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Acknowledging with a single word, Li Yun and Xuandu stood up and looked at Laozi, awaiting his instructions.

At this point, Laozi snapped back to attention. Without any preamble, he said, "Not long ago, your two Martial Uncles finished accepting disciples for the Chan Sect. However, due to some conflicts, tensions arose between the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects. Your two Martial Uncles came to me and proposed holding a Three Teachings Disciple Exchange Conference."

"I have already agreed to this matter. A thousand years from now, the two of you will represent the Human Teachings in sparring and exchanging with the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects."

A Three Teachings Disciple Exchange Conference?

Hearing this, Li Yun and Xuandu were dumbfounded.

They exchanged a glance, then both turned to Laozi and said, "Master, given our current strength, participating might..."

"Do not worry."

Seeing through Li Yun and Xuandu's concerns, Laozi also understood that his disciples, being human, were at a natural disadvantage compared to the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects.

Then, Laozi explained, "For the sake of fairness and justice, the Three Teachings Disciple Exchange Conference will be divided into six arenas: the Earth Immortal Realm, Celestial Immortal Realm, Mysterious Immortal Realm, True Immortal Realm, Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, and Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Based on each disciple's own cultivation level, they will enter the corresponding arena for exchange and sparring. You will not be forced to fight against cultivators across major realms."

So that's it!

Hearing this, Li Yun and Xuandu breathed a sigh of relief.

If that was the case, then this matter had some promise.

Especially for Li Yun, his heart was now filled with anticipation.

The Chan Sect had few disciples, but their cultivation levels were high. The Jie Sect, on the other hand, had countless disciples with wildly varying levels of cultivation.

Under such circumstances, if he could find a few exceptionally talented individuals and defeat them, he could obtain excellent traits. Even if not, as long as the quantity was sufficient, the traits he acquired could still be fused!

Without hesitation, Li Yun and Xuandu immediately bowed and said, "Disciple will not disappoint Master's expectations!"

"Disciple will surely train hard and strive for a good ranking."

"Mm!"

Looking at the battle-ready Xuandu and Li Yun, Laozi nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Li Yun, Xuandu, the two of you have both stepped into the Celestial Immortal Realm. I am very pleased with your progress."

As he spoke, Laozi waved his hand, and several treasures radiating dense innate spiritual energy fluctuations appeared in the air before them.

After doing this, Laozi said slowly, "These seven treasures are all Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Since you have already joined my Human Teachings, I will not be stingy. This time, each of you may choose one spiritual treasure to take back. If you perform well in the future, the remaining treasures will also belong to you."

Gulp~

Swallowing his saliva, Li Yun's eyes went wide.

Seven Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures—these were Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

In the Primordial World, spiritual treasures were divided into innate and acquired.

At the same time, spiritual treasures were ranked as Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, Supreme Grade, and Ultimate Treasures.

1 to 12 restrictions were Low Grade spiritual treasures!

13 to 24 restrictions were Medium Grade spiritual treasures!

25 to 36 restrictions were High Grade spiritual treasures!

37 to 48 restrictions were Supreme Grade spiritual treasures.

49 restrictions were Ultimate Treasures.

The number of Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in the entire Primordial World was already scarce. For Laozi to suddenly produce seven of them for them to choose from was truly a display of immense wealth.

If cultivators from the outside world witnessed this scene, not even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals—let alone mighty figures at the Quasi-Saint level—could keep their eyes from turning red with envy.

"Celestial Immortal Realm!"

"Junior Brother, you've entered the Celestial Immortal Realm?"

Xuandu, at this moment, wasn't even looking at those Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Instead, he stared at Li Yun in shock, disbelief flooding his eyes.

After all, before taking the Master, Li Yun was at the early Human Immortal Realm, while Xuandu was at the late Earth Immortal Realm.

Over these many years, he had mastered the Supreme Purity Sacred Art and consumed some of the pills Laozi gave him, barely pushing his cultivation into the Celestial Immortal Realm. But what about Li Yun?

No pills, no special attention from Laozi—yet he'd also reached the Celestial Immortal Realm. It was simply...

"Senior Brother, no need to be surprised."

Snapping back to himself, Li Yun looked at Xuandu and said with a slight smile, "The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is unique; one revolution equals the Celestial Immortal Realm, so entering it wasn't too difficult for me."

"But as cultivation progresses, just as the Master said back then, it will only grow harder—even the difficulty of breaking through each realm will be dozens, hundreds of times greater than before, so..."

"No, no, Junior Brother, don't misunderstand!"

Hearing Li Yun's explanation, Xuandu relaxed and, afraid Li Yun might misinterpret, quickly added, "I'm just surprised and happy for you, Junior Brother—after all, you were only at the Human Immortal Realm before~"

At this, Li Yun naturally understood Xuandu's meaning.

The latter truly harbored no jealousy, as his treatment as a Direct Disciple was indeed something Li Yun couldn't compare to.

Thinking this, Li Yun stopped wasting words and said, "Senior Brother, let's pick our treasures first!"

"Refine and absorb them as soon as possible—that way, our chances will be greater."

Hearing this, Xuandu nodded in admiration.

Then, without another word, the two turned their gazes to the seven Innate Spiritual Treasures floating in midair, beginning to ponder.

These seven Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were: two longswords, a long spear, a horsetail whisk, a bead, a banner, and a square seal.

Li Yun was immediately drawn to the longswords and the spear.

After all, the upcoming Three Teachings Exchange Conference would involve combat, and killing tools suited their current needs better.

The two longswords—one black, one white—were covered in special divine patterns, appearing ancient and weighty.

As for the long spear, its entire body shimmered with a purple-gold luster, clearly no ordinary item. Faint arcs of lightning flickered along its shaft, marking it unmistakably as a thunder-attribute Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
