Looking further down, they saw a handsome young man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He wore a white Daoist robe, and as currents of air surged around him, his robe billowed wildly.
Clearly, this strange phenomenon was caused by the young man before them.
And this young man was none other than Tongtian's disciple, Jiang Chen!
However, this phenomenon did not catch the Three Pure Ones' attention. What truly drew their notice was the aura of Jiang Chen's cultivation.
"Early-stage Grand Unity Profound Immortal!"
Tongtian blurted out Jiang Chen's current cultivation level.
A Sage's eyes were exceedingly sharp. With a single glance, he had seen through Jiang Chen's true strength.
Not only that—even Yuanshi, who was standing nearby, seemed to have seen something shocking in Jiang Chen's eyes. His pupils contracted slightly.
Without needing Tongtian to say anything more, he too saw through Jiang Chen's cultivation at the Grand Unity Profound Immortal realm when he turned around.
That was precisely why the Three Pure Ones were astonished.
By rights, the Three Pure Ones were Sages. Let alone a Grand Unity Profound Immortal—even if a Grand Unity Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Sage expert appeared here, it would not have surprised them.
But something unexpected had happened.
They would not have been surprised if someone else had possessed the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. But Jiang Chen had reached the Grand Unity Profound Immortal realm, and that left them stunned.
One had to know that when they first met Jiang Chen, he had merely been an ordinary mortal. Yet that same mortal had become an immortal right before their eyes, causing the Three Pure Ones to view him in a new light.
And now, Jiang Chen had broken through again, reaching the cultivation of a Grand Unity Profound Immortal?
If this had happened ten thousand years later, they would not have been surprised. But how much time had actually passed?
Barely three hundred years!
To break through across four major realms from the Earth Immortal realm was unprecedented since the beginning of the Primordial World.
His breakthrough speed was simply astonishing!
Although they knew Jiang Chen had obtained quite a few rare treasures and should have improved his strength, most of those treasures had been of extremely low grade. By their estimation, even if he used all of them, he could at most have broken through to the Profound Immortal realm.
Not to mention that refining rare treasures required a great deal of time. An Earth Immortal cultivator would need at least several thousand years, yet Jiang Chen had used less than three hundred!
All of this demonstrated just how extraordinary his talent was!
How could the Three Pure Ones have known that Jiang Chen's current physique had been downloaded from Tongtian? Precisely because of the Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit physique, not only had his aptitude and talent increased dramatically, but even the unrefined remnants of the rare treasures remaining inside his body had been refined along with it when they fused with the Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit physique.
That was one of the reasons Jiang Chen's strength had broken through so quickly.
But the Three Pure Ones knew nothing of this, which was why they were so shocked.
Boom!
At that moment, accompanied by a thunderous roar, Jiang Chen's aura surged once again.
Early-stage Grand Unity Profound Immortal!
Mid-stage Grand Unity Profound Immortal!
Late-stage Grand Unity Profound Immortal!
He had broken through three minor realms in succession!
Seeing this, Laozi's eyes flickered as though he had thought of something.
Yuanshi had already gone numb. A realm that troubled others for thousands or even tens of thousands of years seemed to be nothing at all to Jiang Chen. He broke through as easily as drinking water. After being repeatedly proven wrong, Yuanshi no longer dared to say anything.
As for Tongtian, seeing his disciple break through repeatedly, how could he still feel displeased after being lectured by Yuanshi? Delight burst from his lips.
"My disciple Jiang Chen possesses the potential to become a Sage!"
The potential to become a Sage!
The moment Tongtian said this, Laozi and Yuanshi both turned to him in shock.
That was the Sage realm! In the vast Primordial World, there were only nine seats, yet Jiang Chen before them actually possessed the potential to become a Sage?
They were doubtful, but when they personally saw Jiang Chen's talent, they fell silent.
In just a few hundred years, he had broken through from an ordinary mortal to the late-stage Grand Unity Profound Immortal realm. Such speed was absolutely rare throughout the world. No wonder Tongtian had praised him so highly.
If it had been someone else, even with such talent, Tongtian would never have spoken those words. After all, they did not possess Jiang Chen's extraordinary identity. Jiang Chen was Tongtian's disciple and the first disciple of the Three Pure Ones. Behind him stood three great Sages!
With such a background, how could anyone speak of him dying prematurely?
Thus, with all these conditions combined, Jiang Chen possessed the potential to become a Sage.
But how could the Three Pure Ones have known that Jiang Chen not only possessed the potential to become a Sage—he had already secured a place among the Sages!
Becoming a Sage was merely a matter of time!
There was no other reason. At that moment, Jiang Chen was downloading the Sage cultivation of Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Laozi!
Once the download succeeded, he would directly obtain Sage cultivation and become a Sage on the spot!
And not just any Sage—he would become a Sage formed from the unity of three Sages, unprecedented and never to be repeated!!!
Of course, that was a matter for later and could be set aside for now.
As for Tongtian—
After seeing his disciple Jiang Chen's talent, his face was filled with pride. Then, as though he had thought of something, he teasingly addressed the silent Yuanshi beside him.
"Earlier, you looked down on my disciple Jiang Chen as well. But now you've seen Jiang Chen's cultivation. So, it seems I wasn't wrong—you were, Martial Uncle!"
To be honest, when Yuanshi had lectured him as an elder brother, Tongtian had long since grown impatient. Unfortunately, he had not found a suitable reason to refute him at the time. But now things were different.
Jiang Chen possessed such astonishing talent, and he had reached his current realm from that of a mortal. He was undoubtedly the perfect example with which to refute Yuanshi. Thus, Tongtian immediately used Jiang Chen as evidence and struck back.
When Yuanshi saw Jiang Chen, he had already fallen silent. Now that Tongtian had taunted him, his face flushed red, then pale, leaving him terribly embarrassed. He wanted to refute Tongtian, but did not know where to begin.
There was nothing he could do. With a ready-made example before him, what else could he say?
At that moment—
Jiang Chen slowly awoke from his breakthrough, interrupting Yuanshi's embarrassment.
"Master!"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Jiang Chen saw his own master. He hurriedly bowed, then noticed Yuanshi and Laozi as well. "Two Martial Uncles!"
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
Seeing Jiang Chen perform a salute the moment he awoke, the Three Pure Ones were impressed by his bearing. Tongtian laughed and said "good" three times in succession before continuing, "Earlier, I thought the Shangqing Dao Method would be enough for you to cultivate for some time. I never expected you to break through to the Grand Unity Profound Immortal realm so quickly. Now, it is time to pass the Three Pure Ones' secret technique, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique, on to you!"
Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was overjoyed.
As far as he knew, there were two cultivation techniques that were most famous in the Primordial World: the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
They were two supreme techniques that pointed directly toward Sainthood!
And the reason he had not chosen to download the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique earlier was that he had already become Tongtian's disciple. The technique would be passed on to him sooner or later. As it turned out, that was exactly what had happened!
Whoosh!
Tongtian pointed a finger, and countless profound, obscure ancient divine characters appeared in Jiang Chen's mind. They arranged themselves in orderly fashion like the Dao and principles, converging into a cultivation technique.
It was precisely the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique!
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, you have learned the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique. Current realm: First Revolution."
"Ding-dong! The Host's cultivation has been detected to be at the late-stage Grand Master Golden Immortal realm. The technique's realm has automatically increased. Current realm: Fifth Revolution!"
"Ding-dong! The technique has reached the Fifth Revolution. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the divine abilities: Size Manipulation, Seventy-two Earthly Transformations, Thirty-six Heavenly Transformations, Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, and Vastness in Inches!"
Several system notifications rang out.
However, Jiang Chen paid them no attention. He did not even have the chance to thank Tongtian.
There was nothing he could do. At that moment, he had already been utterly shocked by the power of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique in his mind!
As its name suggested, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was divided into nine revolutions. Each revolution represented another level of cultivation. From the first to the ninth, they corresponded to the Earth Immortal realm all the way to the Quasi-Sage realm. Moreover, every time he broke through a revolution, he would receive an additional divine ability!
More importantly, after completing all nine revolutions, if he could merge the nine revolutions into one, he would be able to break through to Sainthood!
Sainthood!
That was the realm all living beings in the Primordial World dreamed of. If they knew that such a technique existed, they would fight over it even at the cost of their lives. Yet now, this technique had been directly gifted to Jiang Chen by Tongtian!
This was the benefit of having powerful backing!
Jiang Chen sighed with emotion, then was drawn in by the several divine abilities he had obtained.
[Size Manipulation]: Become large or small as you wish. Upon reaching a certain level, you can even make enemies and external objects change according to your will!
[Seventy-two Earthly Transformations]: Communicate with the Netherworld, Drive Out Spirits, Carry Mountains, Control Water, Borrow Wind, Spread Mist, Pray for Clear Skies...
[Thirty-six Heavenly Transformations]: Creation Manipulation, Reverse Yin and Yang, Shift the Stars and Change the Dipper, Turn Back Heaven and Return the Sun, Summon Rain and Call Wind, Shake Mountains and Rattle the Earth...
[Manifestation of Heaven and Earth]: Manifest your true form and enlarge your body. With every gesture, you have a certain chance of mobilizing the laws.
[Vastness in Inches]: Make your speed reach its extreme in an instant, crossing to the ends of the earth in a single step.
