Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure: Ultimate Emperor Seal

"Master~"

Just as Li Yun was torn between the two swords and one spear, Xuandu had already made his decision first, pointing at the duster among the seven treasures and saying, "Disciple wants this duster. It feels extremely suitable for me."

"Not bad~"

Giving Xuandu an approving glance, Laozi waved his hand and retrieved the duster, saying, "This item is called the Starlight Duster!"

"It contains 46 innate restrictions, making it one of the top-tier Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and it is versatile for both offense and defense."

"Beyond that, the Starlight Duster has a special effect: it can clear the spiritual platform, ensuring your future cultivation proceeds smoothly without any possibility of Inner Demons, Qi Deviation, or such~"

Listening to Laozi's explanation, Xuandu was flushed with excitement.

Li Yun, standing nearby, was also somewhat surprised as he looked at the Starlight Duster.

Leaving aside its other functions, the effect of clearing the spiritual platform alone was truly flawless—even a treasure that countless Great Spiritual Power Users and mighty figures dreamed of.

He had to admit, Xuandu had excellent judgment; even relying on instinct, he had chosen something extremely well-suited.

Thinking this, Li Yun subconsciously closed his eyes and began to sense the remaining six Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures floating in midair, wanting to see if there was one truly suitable and compatible with him.

At that moment, Laozi had already tossed the Starlight Duster to Xuandu, who took it with loving hands and began toying with it.

Under these circumstances, the square seal floating in the air suddenly trembled.

Just then, Li Yun's tightly shut eyes quietly opened, and he abruptly locked his gaze on the seal, saying, "Master, I choose this one!"

Having said that, Li Yun felt a weight lift off his shoulders.

At the same time, he was intensely curious—what exactly was this seal? That it was fated to be with him!

Most importantly, he had a vague sense that this item was extremely suitable for him, and once obtained, it would bring him immense benefits.

It was for this reason that Li Yun abandoned the two swords and one spear and chose it directly.

"Not bad~"

Laozi looked at Li Yun with surprise, reached out, and retrieved the seal, saying, "I did not expect you to have such talent and potential in this area. If you had not already taken me as your master and your Second Martial Uncle learned of it, he would surely take you as his disciple—and as a Direct Disciple at that."

What!

Yuanshi Tianzun was involved in this?

Just because of one potential, he would be taken as a Direct Disciple?

Shaken inwardly, Li Yun grew even more curious about the seal, but he replied without hesitation, "Master, Disciple does not care about the status of Direct Disciple or anything else. Since Disciple has already taken you as Master, whether now or in the future, I will always be a disciple of the Human Teachings, your student."

"Moreover, compared to going to a strange environment and dealing with unfamiliar people, Disciple would rather stay with Senior Brother Xuandu. After all, if not for Senior Brother Xuandu, Disciple honestly might not have passed the assessment!"

Hearing this, Xuandu looked at Li Yun with deep emotion.

This little brother, also of human origin, had not let him down.

And Laozi gave Li Yun an approving glance as well. To be unmoved by the status of a Saint's Direct Disciple, and to value loyalty and gratitude—though there were some flaws due to bloodline issues, at this moment, Laozi truly acknowledged this disciple.

With that thought, Laozi no longer hesitated and explained, "This item is called the Ultimate Emperor Seal. It is a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing 48 innate restrictions, just one step away from entering the ranks of Innate Supreme Treasures."

"Beyond that, this seal has a chance to advance further. If one walks the Emperor's Path and merges with the Emperor's Aura, it will evolve a Pseudo Innate Restriction, and upon reaching the extreme, this Ultimate Emperor Seal will become a Pseudo Innate Supreme Treasure."

"But this item is special; only those with the potential to become an emperor or king can refine it. The way you just resonated with it shows your immense potential on the Emperor's Path—something even your Second Martial Uncle failed to achieve back then. That is why I did not give it to him."

Gulp—

Swallowing his saliva, Li Yun was stunned by Laozi's words.

The Ultimate Emperor Seal!

The value of this thing was enormous.

And according to Laozi, the Ultimate Emperor Seal even had the potential to become a Pseudo Innate Supreme Treasure in the future.

Even a Pseudo Innate Supreme Treasure was something no Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure could compete with.

Most importantly, he himself had the potential to cultivate the Emperor's Path—did that mean he could one day establish his own faction, or even attain the Dao and become a founder?

Of course, Li Yun quickly calmed down.

The Emperor's Path was no simple matter; at least for now, he could not cultivate it. He would have to wait until after the Witch-Demon Tribulation ended.

With that thought, Li Yun immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure. Disciple will not disappoint your expectations!"

"Mm~"

Nodding, Laozi wasted no more words and waved his hand, tossing the Ultimate Emperor Seal to Li Yun.

After doing all this, Laozi continued, "Alright, next I will teach you the Taiqing Lineage's divine ability: the Taiqing Divine Thunder."

Saying this, Laozi raised his finger and pointed, and two beams of green light flew directly into the minds of Li Yun and Xuandu.

The next moment, information and cultivation methods regarding the Taiqing Divine Thunder surfaced.

The Taiqing Divine Thunder.

It was an existence evolved by Laozi based on the incomplete inheritance of Pangu Dutian Divine Thunder.

It was a special divine ability. At a low cultivation level, it manifested as a Minor Divine Ability, but as one's realm advanced, the Taiqing Divine Thunder would evolve into a Divine Ability, a Greater Divine Ability, and even a Supreme Divine Ability, possessing unparalleled destructive power and killing force.

As the cultivation method and information were absorbed, Li Yun's Top-Tier Comprehension activated once more. Following the flow of his mana along the Taiqing Divine Thunder pathway, a cluster of pale green electric arcs began to rapidly form and crackle on his left hand.

"This is—"

At this sight, Laozi's pupils abruptly contracted.

Xuandu was still in the midst of comprehending, yet Li Yun had already completed the process and even smoothly executed it?

When he saw that Li Yun still had his eyes closed, his expression vacant and detached, Laozi's face shifted. Seeming to realize something, he murmured, "Comprehension?"

"Unexpected. This child's comprehension is so outstanding—even surpassing Xuandu's to some extent."

"To learn the Taiqing Divine Thunder in such a short time, no wonder he was able to swiftly cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and even reach a certain level."

At this moment, Laozi's gaze toward Li Yun grew even more approving.

If he had not failed to notice the boy's extraordinary comprehension earlier, Laozi would not have hesitated to accept him as a Direct Disciple, despite his Human-Witch Hybrid status.

But since things had already come to this, Laozi had no intention of changing course. After all, aside from Xuandu and Li Yun, he truly had no desire to take on any more disciples.

However, even though his status could not be altered, Li Yun's value had now reached a level comparable to Xuandu's. Laozi decided he would no longer treat them differently. What did it matter if one was a Direct Disciple and the other an Inner Disciple? In the Taiqing Lineage, all would be treated equally!
