Yuanshi was not the only one. Even Laozi's gaze at Jiang Chen gleamed brightly as he chimed in, "I had the same thought. Just give him to me!"
The two revealed that they had the same idea. Tongtian immediately shielded Jiang Chen behind him and looked at them warily. "Martial Brothers, Jiang Chen is the disciple I accepted. If you want disciples of your own, then trying to snatch mine right in front of me would be rather against martial brotherly conduct, wouldn't it?"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Tongtian's protective attitude, and hearing him bring up martial brotherly conduct, Yuanshi and Laozi suddenly began laughing for no apparent reason!
As they laughed, Tongtian and Jiang Chen were infected by it and joined in.
For a time, Kunlun Mountain was filled with harmony and joy!
"Martial Brothers, Jiang Chen became the disciple of all three of us, and he even helped us correct our mistakes. A mere verbal thanks clearly isn't enough. Even I myself would feel guilty, let alone the two of you."
As he laughed, Tongtian's gaze shifted, and he spoke thoughtfully.
At that, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
Tongtian really was a good master. He was actually helping him seek more benefits again!
No one present was a fool, so Jiang Chen naturally understood his master's unspoken meaning at once.
Yuanshi and Laozi of course understood it as well, but precisely because they did, their faces instantly stiffened.
Damn, he's your disciple, Tongtian. Of course you'd feel guilty.
Besides, how long has it been? You're here extorting us again?
Is that something a person would say?
Though they were speechless inside, the two could only consider how they should repay Jiang Chen.
There was no helping it. Not to mention that he was their junior, Jiang Chen had greatly increased their strength. Such a cause and effect naturally had to be repaid!
"Tell us. What do you want?"
After thinking for a long time without coming up with anything, Yuanshi could not be bothered to continue. Looking at Jiang Chen's eager expression, he asked directly.
Laozi, standing nearby, also nodded slightly, clearly sharing the same intention.
Now, Jiang Chen was the one who began to ponder.
"Martial Uncle, I want to learn divine abilities from you."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke.
There were two reasons he wanted to learn divine abilities.
First, there was not much left on the Three Pure Ones that could move Jiang Chen anymore. Divine abilities were one of those things. After all, the greatest treasures—the Saint cultivation and supreme treasures—had already been downloaded by Jiang Chen.
Second, although his strength had increased greatly, he clearly understood his current weakness: he had strength but no techniques at all. But if he learned all the divine abilities possessed by the Three Pure Ones, his strength and methods would definitely rise considerably.
Moreover, Jiang Chen had just deeply experienced the might of divine abilities. The divine ability obtained through the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique was already unfathomably profound. What about the Three Pure Ones, who had become Saints?
"I have Artifact Refining Divine Abilities, Deduction Divine Abilities, Destruction Divine Abilities... Which one do you want to learn?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's answer, Yuanshi gave him a surprised look. Then, without saying anything more, he began listing the dozens of divine abilities he possessed.
Immediately afterward, Tongtian and Laozi also refused to be outdone, each listing all the divine abilities they possessed.
"I have Sword Dao Divine Abilities, Formation Divine Abilities, Artifact Refining Divine Abilities..."
"I have One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Alchemy Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Divine Abilities..."
In an instant, nearly a hundred divine abilities, large and small, were laid out for Jiang Chen to choose from.
Furthermore, with the Three Pure Ones being the ones who possessed them, not a single one of these divine abilities was mediocre!
This plunged him into the blissful agony of having too many choices. He had no idea what to choose.
"Master, can I have them all?"
Unable to reach a decision, Jiang Chen asked eagerly.
Only children made choices. Adults wanted everything!
This immediately made the Three Pure Ones laugh.
"It isn't impossible, but dozens of divine abilities at minor mastery are inferior to one divine ability at great mastery. This is precisely what it means to break through ten thousand techniques with a single force!"
"Besides, learning so many divine abilities at once will inevitably take much more time. If your cultivation stagnates because of them, that would be putting the cart before the horse. I don't recommend that you do this!"
Tongtian explained with a smile.
Jiang Chen was not stubborn either. After understanding the pros and cons, he began pondering silently.
But just then—
The system's voice suddenly rang out!
"Ding-dong, reminder to the host: if the download target is explained by someone else, the download speed will also increase!"
What was this?
Jiang Chen was stunned at first, but after understanding it, his eyes lit up!
He had really gotten exactly what he wanted. He had never expected the system to have such a hidden function!
Earlier, he had felt somewhat regretful about giving up on learning all the divine abilities of the Three Pure Ones. But after hearing the system's reminder, he decided to learn them all anyway!
It was simple. According to the system, as long as he first downloaded the divine abilities possessed by the Three Pure Ones, then had the Three Pure Ones explain those divine abilities to him, their download speeds would increase, allowing him to finish downloading them quickly!
Repeatedly doing this would not only save him a great deal of time, but also let him learn every divine ability. Why would he refuse?
Having made up his mind, Jiang Chen immediately replied, "Master, I still want to give it a try."
Tongtian paused, clearly not expecting him to be so greedy and stubborn.
He had just been about to continue persuading him, but after seeing Jiang Chen's resolute expression, he understood that further persuasion would probably be useless.
"Very well. Since that's what you want, which divine ability do you want to learn first?"
Once he understood, Tongtian sighed.
He knew this was the path Jiang Chen had chosen. Since he could not stop him, he could only do his utmost to help Jiang Chen learn it.
"Sword Dao Divine Abilities, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and Destruction Divine Abilities!"
Jiang Chen blurted it out.
The three divine abilities possessed by the Three Pure Ones that moved him the most were precisely these.
"You certainly have good taste!"
Tongtian laughed and scolded him lightly. Then, without wasting words, he began explaining to Jiang Chen. "Those who learn the sword must first cultivate their hearts. They must advance without hesitation and believe that their sword can sever everything. Moreover, all things under heaven can become a sword..."
"Download Sword Dao Divine Abilities!"
As Tongtian began his explanation, Jiang Chen hurriedly called out inwardly.
The moment his words fell, the system's voice rang out.
"Ding-dong, detected that the host's cultivation is at the late Grand Unity Profound Immortal stage. Current number of available downloads: 25!" "Ding-dong, beginning download of [Sword Dao Divine Abilities]!" "Ding-dong, detected that a master of Sword Dao Divine Abilities is explaining it to the host. The download speed of [Sword Dao Divine Abilities] has increased!" %! .11%! .22%! ...
Whoosh!
Just after the download task for [Sword Dao Divine Abilities] was created, the download progress had already risen considerably in the blink of an eye. Moreover, its speed was still gradually increasing!
Compared to downloading Saint cultivation, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was overjoyed.
He had never expected the download speed to become so fast when someone explained it to him. At this rate, Sword Dao Divine Abilities would be downloaded soon!
And as Jiang Chen had expected, after he listened to Tongtian's explanation for a year, the system's prompt suddenly rang out again!
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host. [Sword Dao Divine Abilities] download complete!"
As the prompt faded, an immense sword intent surged from Jiang Chen's body, while countless streams of information battered his mind!
As for Tongtian—
After explaining it to his disciple for an entire year, he discovered that not even a trace of sword intent had appeared on Jiang Chen. This made Tongtian believe that Jiang Chen had no talent for learning the sword, so he stopped.
"Disciple, you see? Even one divine ability is this difficult. The others are roughly the same. But don't be discouraged. Back then, even with my aptitude, it took me several hundred, nearly a thousand years, before I reached the... threshold..."
After stopping his explanation, Tongtian still could not bear to see Jiang Chen waste his time and earnestly tried to persuade him again.
But before he could finish, Jiang Chen suddenly transformed before his eyes, becoming a fierce sword intent that descended upon all of Kunlun Mountain!
A streak of cold light arrived first, then shot straight into the heavens!
