Seeing Jiang Chen's terrifying talent, the Three Pure Ones went from initial surprise to shock, then from shock to horror, and finally became numb!
There was no other reason than Jiang Chen being too monstrous.
Originally, they thought Jiang Chen learning three divine abilities so quickly was already impressive, but they didn't expect him to exceed their expectations even further. He hadn't even spent a year to learn each divine ability, and all of them were at the Great Accomplishment realm!
For the first time in their lives, they experienced the trouble of having a disciple who was too monstrous.
They had taught him everything they knew, but Jiang Chen still looked at them expectantly. Their gazes made them feel both proud and terrified, and in the end, they could only use the excuse of going into seclusion to escape.
Jiang Chen was naturally regretful about this but didn't linger. After all, he already knew he had learned all the divine abilities from the Three Pure Ones.
After the Three Pure Ones left, Jiang Chen was happy to return to his seclusion.
However, this time, his seclusion took much longer, lasting for a full two thousand years.
It couldn't be helped. Learning too many divine abilities at once was also a troublesome matter. He not only had to properly sort through the divine abilities but also cultivate, and at the same time refine Spiritual Treasures, requiring him to multitask.
But Jiang Chen reaped a bountiful harvest from this seclusion. Not only did his cultivation break through to the Grand Unity Profound Immortal Perfection, but he also revisited his own divine abilities. Among them, several divine abilities he favored reached the point where he could use them effortlessly, consuming very little magic power when used.
One must know that learning a divine ability does not mean being able to use it at will, but now Jiang Chen could use several divine abilities effortlessly. The harvest was undeniably significant!
Of course, what surprised him the most was his system!
As his strength broke through, his download count reached 26.
The download speed was also incredibly swift, exceeding one-third of the previous speed.
This benefit was evident in the download progress. The first time he checked the download panel after his seclusion, the download progress for [Tongtian the Saint's Cultivation] almost blinded Jiang Chen!
0.51%!
Don't underestimate this mere 0.51%. This was the cultivation of a Saint, and the total amount was naturally vast and immense. More importantly, how much time had passed?
In nearly three thousand years, he had downloaded 0.51%. At this rate, wouldn't that mean it would be completed in 300,000 years?
Although 600,000 years might seem long, this was a tangible Saint!
And what about others?
Let alone Saints, most people couldn't even reach the Quasi-Saint realm. Even top-tier great cultivators were fighting tooth and nail for a sliver of Hongmeng Purple Qi, which was the qualification to become a Saint!
Most importantly, this was without sacrificing heavenly treasures and with his own strength at the Grand Unity Profound Immortal realm. If he sacrificed a large amount of heavenly treasures or possessed higher strength, the download speed would undoubtedly be faster!
At that time, with the cultivation of a Saint empowering him, he would become a Saint instantly?
Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.
Although the download progress was a small step, it was a giant leap for him!
With this thought, Jiang Chen was filled with motivation. The circulation speed of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique within his body accelerated, as he wished to break through to a higher realm.
"Our paths diverge, so we cannot plan together. May my two senior brothers be well from now on!"
Just then, a heaven-shattering voice suddenly interrupted his seclusion.
It was his Master, Tongtian!
Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and he quickly got up and walked out.
Not long after, Tongtian's furious expression appeared before him.
Before Jiang Chen could speak, Tongtian waved his sleeve and took Jiang Chen away from Kunlun Mountain.
"Master, this is?"
Seeing Tongtian's expression improve, Jiang Chen, sitting on a auspicious cloud, finally asked.
He was completely confused, not understanding what had happened.
"The unity of the Three Pure Ones is probably a joke from now on."
Tongtian glanced back at Kunlun Mountain with lingering reluctance, not directly answering Jiang Chen's question, but instead shaking his head with a bitter smile.
The Three Pure Ones had split up!
Hearing this, Jiang Chen understood.
But after understanding, he wasn't enlightened; instead, he became more confused.
He knew that he had already told them the story of the Three Pure Ones' unity, yet now they had still split up?
"My path and my senior brothers' paths are different. Moreover, the relationship between the three of us is no longer what it used to be. Although you, as a disciple, have been acting as a mediator over the past ten thousand years, the grudges and differences in ideology buried over millennia cannot be completely resolved with just a few words?"
As if sensing Jiang Chen's confusion, Tongtian seemed to be explaining to him, or perhaps comforting himself: "Our paths are different, so we cannot plan together. I had already foreseen this situation."
Hearing this, what else could Jiang Chen say? He sat aside and remained silent.
He hadn't expected that even with his intervention, the Three Pure Ones would still split up. He could only say that he had appeared too late. If he had come a little earlier, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
"Let us head towards the East Sea."
After explaining, Tongtian withdrew his gaze from Kunlun Mountain, took Jiang Chen, and turned towards the East Sea, which was in the opposite direction of Kunlun!
The Primordial Era was vast. If an ordinary cultivator wanted to travel from Kunlun to the East Sea, it would likely take several months.
However, how could Tongtian the Saint be compared to ordinary cultivators? In less than a day, he had brought Jiang Chen above the East Sea.
The East Sea was vast and boundless, its deep, dark waters inspiring awe, as if endless dangers were hidden within.
However, what captivated Jiang Chen and Tongtian wasn't the vastness of the East Sea, but the scenery at its center!
Perhaps because Tongtian was one of the Three Pure Ones and possessed great destiny, as soon as they arrived, an immortal island appeared before the two of them.
The island resembled a giant turtle, situated in the heart of the East Sea. Immortal energy surged and coiled around the island, colorful clouds filled the sky, immortal birds and auspicious beasts sang from time to time, and countless immortal trees dotted its landscape, exuding vitality and nobility!
Furthermore, the island seemed to be protected by a primordial formation, with the Dao and principles interwoven within, mesmerizing anyone who gazed upon it. Truly, it was a supreme immortal island!
Upon seeing this, Tongtian and Jiang Chen's gazes locked, for this was undoubtedly an excellent place for cultivation!
With the Three Pure Ones parting ways, Tongtian's primary goal was to find an immortal island.
Moreover, they had encountered other fine locations on their journey from Kunlun, but compared to this immortal island, all other places were clearly inferior.
After their hearts were stirred, the two flew onto the immortal island.
"Golden Ao Island?"
As soon as he landed, a towering stone tablet appeared before Jiang Chen. Seeing the divine script on it, he inwardly confirmed his suspicion.
With the Three Pure Ones separating, and his Master's destined cultivation ground, Golden Ao Island, now appearing, it seemed he would reside here from now on.
"Roar!"
"What lowly creatures dare trespass here? This island is ours! Begone!"
Just then, a dragon's roar suddenly echoed, followed by a voice filled with brutality that resounded in their ears.
Splash!
Before Jiang Chen and the other could react, accompanied by the sound of water breaking, two massive black and white figures leaped from the seabed. They were a hundred zhang long, slender with four legs, horse-headed with snake tails, and two deer antlers grew from their heads. Their bodies were smooth, with scales faintly shimmering!
Their presence exuded ferocity, and an unspoken, boundless majesty!
They were Flood Dragons!
Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately understood what these two behemoths were.
When he was learning divine abilities from the Three Pure Ones, they hadn't just taught him techniques; they also shared tales of the Primordial Era. Thus, even though he hadn't left Kunlun for thousands of years, he had memorized the myriad things of the Primordial Era, its landscapes, and its grand currents.
Understanding the identity of his interlocutors, Jiang Chen frowned.
These two Flood Dragons claimed Golden Ao Island as theirs, implying they weren't its owners. If they weren't, why call them lowly creatures? This was already unreasonable.
And that wasn't all; they then told them to scram?
Finally, what was the covetous greed in the black Flood Dragon's eyes?
"How dare you insult my Master! You court death!"
A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind. Before Tongtian could even speak after being berated by the Flood Dragons, Jiang Chen spoke first. He had no intention of being a pushover. His eyes snapped open, fierce light blazing within them!
His voice, imbued with magical power, resonated throughout the surroundings.
"Good, good, good! We've been in seclusion for ten thousand years, and the East Sea has forgotten the name of Yin Yang Great Immortal!"
"Just after breaking through to Golden Immortal, you've delivered a perfect meal for a Grand Unity Profound Immortal! We are indeed beings of great destiny!"
Seeing Jiang Chen's anger, the white Flood Dragon laughed instead of getting angry. The black Flood Dragon was overjoyed, even drooling as he spoke!
Clearly, they already viewed Jiang Chen as prey, even planning to devour him!
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was speechless. He hadn't expected to be treated as food the moment he stepped out.
While speechless, he felt even more vigilant, wary of the beings in the Primordial Era.
Aside from his initial arrival in the Primordial Era and his time with the Three Pure Ones, this was his first encounter with other living beings, and not just any beings, but two Golden Immortal cultivators. Truly, this was the Primordial Era.
Of course, most importantly, they intended to devour him!
If he had just arrived in the Primordial Era, he would have likely died already!
Indeed, without strength in the Primordial Era, one is surrounded by danger!
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly.
