Three Teachings Exchange Conference?

Listening to Xuandu, Li Yun was somewhat baffled.

How had the matter between Yuanshi and Tongtian ended up affecting Human Teachings?

And the conflict between the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects should not have spread to himself and Xuandu, Human Teachings Disciples.

However, before he could ask anything, Xuandu had already pulled him into the palace. Laozi seemed to have sensed their arrival beforehand and was seated in the area of honor.

For a moment, Li Yun had no time to think about anything else. After he and Xuandu came to a stop, they bowed and saluted. "This disciple greets Master!"

"This disciple greets Master!"

"Mm, rise."

Laozi swept his gaze over Xuandu and Li Yun, then waved his hand.

Yet when his gaze fell upon Li Yun, a trace of surprise and astonishment clearly flashed through Laozi's eyes.

Li Yun's cultivation could not possibly be concealed from him, a Saint. That was precisely why Laozi was rather surprised.

Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

This disciple of his had actually succeeded in cultivating it.

Moreover, judging from Li Yun's aura, he had done far more than simply reach Entry Level. Having reached the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm, the first revolution of his Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had already reached its middle stage.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After acknowledging him, Li Yun and Xuandu rose to their feet and looked toward Laozi, awaiting his instructions.

Only then did Laozi return to his senses. Without wasting words, he said, "Not long ago, the Chan Teachings established by your two Martial Uncles finished accepting disciples. However, certain conflicts have caused friction between the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects. Your two Martial Uncles came to me, intending to hold a Three Teachings Disciple Exchange Conference."

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

Three Teachings Disciple Exchange Conference?

Li Yun and Xuandu were dumbfounded upon hearing that.

After exchanging glances, they both looked toward Laozi. "Master, with our current strength, I fear participating would be..."

"There is no need to worry."

Seeing through Li Yun and Xuandu's thoughts, Laozi also knew that, as members of the Human Race, his disciples were inherently disadvantaged compared to the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects.

He then explained, "To ensure fairness, 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!"

"Each disciple will enter the corresponding area based on his own cultivation level for exchanges and sparring. You will not be made to fight cultivators who exceed you by a major realm."

So that was it!

Li Yun and Xuandu breathed sighs of relief.

If that was the case, then this matter was still worth pursuing.

Li Yun, in particular, was looking forward to it.

The Chan Teachings had few disciples, and their cultivation was high. But the Interception Sect had disciples as numerous as oxen, with wildly uneven realms.

Under such circumstances, if he could find a few exceptionally gifted individuals and defeat them, he could obtain some decent Traits. Even if he did not, as long as the numbers piled up, the Traits he acquired could still be fused!

Without hesitation, Li Yun and Xuandu immediately bowed. "This disciple will certainly not disappoint Master's expectations!"

"This disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and strive for a good ranking."

"Mm!"

Seeing the fighting spirit in Xuandu and Li Yun, Laozi nodded in satisfaction.

Then, his tone shifted. "Li Yun, Xuandu, the two of you have now entered the Celestial Immortal Realm. I am very pleased with your progress."

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!

As he spoke, Laozi waved his hand, and several treasures radiating dense innate spiritual energy appeared in midair.

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

"Gulp!"

Li Yun swallowed, his eyes going wide.

Seven Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. These were Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

Within the Primordial World, spirit treasures were divided into innate and acquired.

At the same time, spirit treasures were ranked as low grade, middle grade, high grade, supreme grade, and supreme treasures.

1–12 Restrictions were low-grade spirit treasures!

13–24 Restrictions were middle-grade spirit treasures!

25–36 Restrictions were high-grade spirit treasures!

37–48 Restrictions were supreme-grade spirit treasures.

49 restrictions made a supreme treasure.

There were not many Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in the entire Primordial World to begin with, yet Laozi had taken out seven at once for them to choose from. He truly was extravagantly wealthy.

If cultivators outside learned of this, let alone Grand Unity Golden Immortals, even great powers at the Quasi-Saint level would turn green with envy.

"Celestial Immortal Realm!"

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

Xuandu did not look at the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures at all. Instead, he stared at Li Yun in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Before they had become disciples, Li Yun had only been at the early Human Immortal Realm, while Xuandu had been at the late Earth Immortal Realm.

Over all these years, Xuandu had learned the Supreme Purity Sacred Art and consumed several pills given by Laozi before entering the Celestial Immortal Realm. But what about Li Yun?

No pills, no special guidance from Laozi, yet he had also reached the Celestial Immortal Realm. This was simply...

"Senior Brother, there is no need to be surprised."

Recovering himself, Li Yun smiled faintly at Xuandu. "The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is special. One revolution leads directly to the Celestial Immortal Realm, so entering the Celestial Immortal Realm was not too difficult for me."

"But as cultivation progresses, it will become increasingly difficult, just as Master said back then. The difficulty of every breakthrough may be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than before, so..."

"No, no, Junior Brother, do not misunderstand!"

Hearing Li Yun's explanation, Xuandu relaxed. Fearing that Li Yun might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "I was merely surprised and happy for you, Junior Brother. After all, you were only at the Human Immortal Realm before~"

Li Yun naturally understood what Xuandu meant.

Xuandu truly was not jealous. After all, as a Direct Disciple, the treatment he received was indeed beyond anything Li Yun could compare with.

Thinking of this, Li Yun stopped wasting words. "Senior Brother, let's choose our treasures first!"

"The sooner we absorb and refine them, the better our chances of victory will be."

Xuandu immediately nodded in agreement.

Then neither of them spoke further. They looked at the seven Innate Spirit Treasures in midair and began to consider them.

The seven Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures consisted of two longswords, a spear, a whisk, a pearl, a banner, and a square seal.

Li Yun was immediately drawn to the longswords and spear.

After all, the upcoming Three Teachings Exchange Conference involved battle. Weapons of slaughter were more suitable for them at this stage.

One longsword was black and the other white, both bearing peculiar Divine Patterns that made them appear ancient and heavy.

The spear, meanwhile, gleamed with a violet-gold radiance. It was clearly no ordinary item, and faint arcs of lightning flickered around it. It was obviously a lightning-attributed Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
