"Shrimp???" Chen Tian froze. Yuanshi and Tongtian both grew anxious. Damn it, Laozi had actually gotten there first!!
Chen Tian was completely dumbfounded. What the heck? Didn't I just issue the mission not long ago? Why did the three of you come in person? Wait... Become your disciple? Not all three of you?
Ding—Reporting to the host: As a Salted Fish, how could you go to Kunlun Mountain yourself to seek a master? Wouldn't it be better to have your master come and pick you up?
Fine, now I've found the culprit! No wonder the Three Pure Ones sensed it. So you were the one behind this! No way! I'm already a Heavenly Immortal! I won't be controlled by you anymore! If I'm going to be a salted fish, I'll be my own salted fish!
That's right! I'm going to resist! When the peasants rise, they sing! I'll make you lick up to me instead of following you around!
"Little friend, apart from him, I also intend to take you as my disciple!" Just as Chen Tian was about to speak, Yuanshi hurriedly cut in.
"And me!" Tongtian refused to be outdone.
"Eh..." Chen Tian stared blankly. What's going on, little brothers? All three of you want me?
Emmmm, should I agree? After all, the Salted Fish System comes with a generous gift package!
"Second Brother, this child is fated to be with me. Your disciple is a hundred li away!" Seeing this, Laozi hurriedly spoke. He took Chen Tian's hand and said, "Little friend, become my disciple! I'll give you the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Merit Exquisite Pagoda!"
"!!!!"
The three of them were all stunned. The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Merit Exquisite Pagoda was a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure! Although it was postnatal, it was no weaker than an innate treasure!
Moreover, it was Laozi's accompanying spiritual treasure! Yuanshi and Tongtian didn't even have one!
"I... I'll give you the Purple Lightning Hammer!" Tongtian spoke up as well.
Yuanshi also said, "If you become my disciple, I'll give you the Yuqing Box!"
"These three blockheads..." The corner of Chen Tian's mouth twitched slightly...
"I'm not willing!"
The Three Pure Ones were dumbfounded after hearing this. What?? We're the Three Pure Ones of Pangu! The orthodox lineage of Pangu!! We came to take you as our disciple, and you're actually unwilling?
"Why?" Laozi asked in confusion. Damn it, we want to take you as our disciple, and you're still unwilling? What do you want, then?
"The Three Pure Ones are the orthodox lineage of Pangu. As the saying goes, 'The lotus flower, white root, and green lotus leaf—the Three Pure Ones were originally one family.' If I became one of your disciples, I would surely offend the other two. The Three Pure Ones would no longer be as they were before, so naturally, I'm unwilling." Chen Tian cupped his fists again as he spoke.
The Three Pure Ones blushed after hearing this. Indeed, the Three Pure Ones had originally been one family. At first, they had all wanted to take Chen Tian as their First Disciple, but after seeing that Chen Tian's aptitude was extraordinary and his foundation profound, with an Innate Dao Body, their Dao hearts had gone completely astray!
"In that case, it seems we were indeed being rash." Laozi rarely showed a faint blush of embarrassment.
"Exactly, exactly..." Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded as well. Then the three of them looked at Chen Tian and said in unison, "We, the Three Pure Ones, are willing to take you as our disciple. Are you willing?"
Should I become their disciple? The Three Pure Ones will split up later... But according to the netizens, the first reason was that the Interception Sect's disciples wore scales and carried shells, which went against the Heavenly Mandate and displeased Yuanshi. The second was that Kunlun Mountain couldn't withstand the combined fortune of three Saints...
Chen Tian thought, "Wearing scales and carrying shells goes against the Heavenly Mandate? Put simply, as long as I make them follow the rules, won't that solve it? Yuanshi definitely won't have anything to say then. As for Kunlun Mountain... I've heard that there are the Three Immortal Islands—Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou—in the East Sea. When the time comes, I'll drag the Three Immortal Islands over to strengthen Kunlun. Then it'll be able to withstand the fortune of three Saints!"
"If I do that, how could they still split up? Although Hongjun has schemes involved in the split, the Witch-Demon Tribulation hasn't even begun yet. I have plenty of time to develop. When the time comes, I'll punch the Zixiao Nursing Home and kick the Sumeru Kindergarten!"
"Disciple Chen Tian pays respects to Master Father, Second Master, and Third Master." After finishing his thoughts, Chen Tian knelt and kowtowed.
The Three Pure Ones nodded at this sight, but Yuanshi asked in confusion, "Disciple, why do you call the three of us master fathers instead of honored masters?"
"Hm? Because... I feel that a master is like a father. After all, once one becomes your master, one remains your father for life!" Chen Tian casually voiced the understanding passed down from later generations.
At once, a burst of Xuanhuang Qi descended from the sky, and a hundred mu of merit poured into Chen Tian's body! This showed that his deed had helped perfect the Heavenly Dao!
"Hahahaha, what a wonderful 'Once one becomes your master, one remains your father for life'!" Tongtian was overjoyed. He helped Chen Tian up, the delight on his face unabated.
Laozi and Yuanshi also nodded. Their disciple had casually said something that helped perfect the Heavenly Dao—what kind of fortune was this?
"Come, come, come. Disciple, follow your honored masters... no, your masters back to the Daoist temple." Yuanshi said with a smile.
"Exactly, exactly!" Laozi nodded, and the Three Pure Ones took Chen Tian back to Kunlun.
Inside Yujing Mountain, a Daoist sat upright. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the Three Pure Ones and Chen Tian. After counting on his fingers, he knitted his brows and said, "How strange, how strange. I actually can't calculate this child's origins!"
"Forget it, forget it. I'm about to become a Saint. I'll speak of it after attaining sainthood." After saying this, the Daoist closed his eyes again!
This person was Hongjun, who had yet to become a Saint—the future Dao Ancestor!
Chen Tian had no idea that Ancestor Hongjun had set his sights on him. He had now arrived at Kunlun, where the Three Pure Ones personally teaching him was something no one else could obtain!
As for cultivation techniques, the Three Pure Ones saw that Chen Tian's technique was far more powerful than their own, so they didn't bring it out to embarrass themselves. Instead, they taught him divine abilities. As for treasures... sigh, the Three Pure Ones were currently so poor they practically rattled when they walked, and Chen Tian didn't ask them for any treasures either.
Wouldn't it be better to exchange for a new system later and get a Chaos Green Lotus?
After that, Chen Tian established his own Daoist temple on Kunlun Mountain, and then... came the most exciting moment!!
Once he reached the Heavenly Immortal realm, he could choose a system every time he advanced one major realm!
Chen Tian was currently a late Heavenly Immortal, so he could choose three system functions!
This was wonderful!
Chen Tian first opened his interface.
Ding—Host: Chen Tian.
Cultivation: late Heavenly Immortal.
Cultivation Technique: Hongmeng Scripture.
Treasures—
Divine Abilities: Soaring Golden Light, Tiangang Thirty-Six Transformations, Disha Seventy-Two Transformations, Sleeve Universe...
Number of Choices: Three.
"Salted Fish System, open the generous gift package!" Chen Tian called out inwardly.
Ding—Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Innate Spiritual Treasure 'Mountain River Fan' and the title 'Son of the Great Dao'!
"Th-that's it???" Chen Tian instantly roared, "Damn it, all I got was a broken fan and a title, and that's the end of it?? You call this generous? I'll generously give you a big star!!!"
"Damn it, I won't choose a system for now. I'm going to cultivate and shake off this salted-fish temperament! Let's see what you can do then!"
After saying this, Chen Tian sat cross-legged and began cultivating.
Chen Tian swore that he would break free of his salted-fish temperament, but he had no idea that, with just the status of Son of the Great Dao, even the Heavenly Dao would not dare do anything to him! Wasn't that generous enough? If he wanted the Three Pure Ones not to split up in the future, then they wouldn't split up. Would Hongjun dare to deal with him? A single Chaos Divine Thunder would be enough to leave him clutching his scalp in agony!
Three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Tian's cultivation reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, after which came the Taiyi Profound Immortal realm, the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, the Daluo Golden Immortal realm...
"System! Choose a system function!" Chen Tian said inwardly in a deep voice.
This time, he had twelve systems to choose from. There was no need to panic—he would choose a few to play with first.
The selection screen appeared once again!
This time, apart from the Salted Fish System, the only other change was that Sign-in had become Martial Arts, while the replacement for Salted Fish had become Reading!
Martial arts, put simply, meant martial techniques. But the martial arts in the Martial Arts System were no ordinary techniques. They were cultivation methods that could evolve all the way to proving the Dao and attaining sainthood!
For example, the Nine Yang Divine Skill mentioned in the introduction had ninety-nine levels. Every ten levels cultivated a sun within the body, and upon reaching the ninety-ninth level, one could use nine suns to prove the Dao and attain sainthood!
This was a true Saint—in other words, a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal! It was far stronger than an ordinary Heavenly Dao Saint!
Nuwa will create humanity in the future, and I'm human too, so naturally I have to help humanity. This Martial Arts System is most suitable for humans. If other races learned it, there was an eighty percent chance they'd train themselves into cripples! Thinking this, Chen Tian chose the Martial Arts System.
