"Brother still says the same: all things have their destined course, not to be forced. Return to Kunlun Mountain soon."
With those words fading, Taishang Laojun tore through the void and stepped into it, vanishing from sight.
Seeing Taishang Laojun leave even the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to Tongtian, Yuanshi glared and said, "Nonsense!"
But he said no more, turning to follow Taishang Laojun.
The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was unmatched in defense; even if Tongtian faced any formidable foe, it could keep him safe.
From this, it was clear that the Three Pure Ones brothers still had their hearts together at this time.
Yet who knew why, after attaining sainthood, they each harbored their own thoughts, even turning against one another, not hesitating to draw swords.
Was it their nature, or was it someone's scheme for balance?
Nuwa walked alone, rarely seen; Jieyin and Zhunti were far in the Western Paradise, not worth worrying about.
Only the Three Pure Ones, these three brothers, each with unfathomable power, born from the same source, had always been bound by brotherly love.
Most importantly, they were the incarnations of Pangu's Primordial Spirit—the Primordial World should have been theirs...
Tongtian reached out and caught the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a flicker of emotion stirring in his heart, but it was soon drowned by his obsession with supreme treasures.
The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was a fine treasure, no doubt, but it wasn't his—it was his eldest brother's fine treasure!
What he found himself, that would be his!
And so, Tongtian began scouring the surroundings once more, leaving no inch of space unchecked, from the heavens to the earth.
He would find an Innate Supreme Treasure, no matter what!
Less than One Billion Li away, at the Innate Spirit Array, the Three Lights Divine Water Pool.
Shen Lang naturally had no idea that Tongtian had gone mad over Innate Supreme Treasures; at this moment, he was choosing his rewards from this simulation.
[As the host of the Myriad Worlds Simulator, you will receive the following rewards—]
[1, Sword Soul (Player Tongtian's self-created Primordial Spirit method in the God's Tomb World. After acquisition, it will be amplified to adapt to the Primordial World's fundamental rules.)]
[2, Sword Come (You love the sword, and the sword loves you—you are one with the sword!)]
[3, One simulation opportunity in the God's Tomb World (You will simulate as the object of player Tongtian's simulation!)]
[Choose one of the above three rewards!]
It was similar to the rewards from the Nuwa simulation, all tied to Tongtian's current simulation.
The first was a self-created cultivation method by Tongtian, marked with an underline.
Shen Lang clicked on it, and could see the detailed effects and capabilities of this method.
It was a method focused on cultivating the Primordial Spirit, allowing it to condense into a sword form, ultimately forming the Grand Unity Sword Soul!
That is, a Grand Unity Dao Fruit centered on the sword path!
Beyond that, it was also a life-saving method that involved self-harm.
By condensing a Sword Within the Sword, it was equivalent to having a dual Primordial Spirit, where one could die once!
He had to admit, Daoist Tongtian's mind was truly something, to be able to concoct such a method.
The second option was the initial talent chosen by Daoist Tongtian.
Mentioning this talent, Shen Lang couldn't help but think of the Sea King talent Tongtian had picked.
Too bad Tongtian kicked the bucket as soon as he crawled out of the grave; he never got a chance to be a Sea King. Who knew if future simulations would show it?
This option was also worth considering; it should be a sword path talent. Tongtian's ability to create the Sword Soul Cultivation Method might owe something to this talent.
Looking at the last option, Shen Lang fell silent for a moment, then directly dismissed it.
Entering the God's Tomb World and simulating as Chen Xiao Nan once was tempting.
After all, Shen Lang hadn't yet taken form and wasn't qualified to simulate personally; taking this reward would let him simulate once.
But why would he want to be buried alive for a thousand years, feeling the taste of endless darkness?
He'd be suffocated!
Besides, he had a tool to work for him and earn rewards; he'd have to be brain-damaged to go suffer that himself.
He was determined to keep freeloading to the end!
So now, only two choices remained: the Sword Soul Cultivation Method and the Sword Come talent.
In the end, Shen Lang chose the Sword Soul Cultivation Method.
Sword Come was also good; Shen Lang loved swords too. A single sword's cold light spanning nineteen prefectures—that was a man's immortal chivalric romance.
But for Shen Lang, survival was still the priority.
Nuwa's Nameless Cultivation Method had temporarily resolved his crisis, but the crisis still existed.
As long as he wanted to take form, as long as he wanted to leave the Innate Spirit Array, he would face a life-and-death crisis—and that crisis came from the Heavenly Dao itself!
In other words, the strongest being in the Primordial World!
The Sword Soul's Twin Sword Primordial Spirits are perfectly suited for Shen Lang—they could save his life at a critical moment!
As soon as Shen Lang made his choice, the Sword Soul Cultivation Method's formulas surfaced one by one in his mind, and he began to comprehend them automatically.
After all, Shen Lang was now a Peak Great Principle Golden Immortal, so he quickly grasped the essence of the Sword Soul Cultivation Method.
But this time, he didn't start cultivating it directly. In fact, he even forcibly stopped the method from running on its own like the Nameless Cultivation Method.
After all, Shen Lang was no longer the same as before. While comprehending the Sword Soul Cultivation Method created by Tongtian, he also developed some ideas of his own.
Perhaps, based on his own situation, he could tweak it a little...

Chapter 26: Sword Soul Improvement—I Have Nine Swords, Are You Scared? [Seeking Collections and Flowers]
The Sword Soul's condensation of twin primordial spirits was Tongtian's idea, proven through real combat—no issues there.
However, that was a cultivation method Tongtian tailored for himself based on his circumstances at the time.
Back then, Tongtian was being suppressed and killed by a Formation, his power extremely limited, and all he sought was to break free and survive.
Now, Shen Lang had no shortage of power at all.
The Green Lotus of Creation's True Body had infinite energy; condensing the Grand Unity Dao Fruit had only consumed a tenth of it.
The remaining ninety percent could either transform into a powerful physical form or be turned into primordial spirit power.
It all depended on how Shen Lang arranged it, since he himself was the Green Lotus of Creation.
But for now, he had no path to transformation, and the Nameless Cultivation Method's limit was the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, so the leftover energy remained in his True Body.
If this energy just stayed stored in his True Body, it would only speed up the Green Lotus of Creation's maturation!
Once the Green Lotus of Creation matured, the Heavenly Dao would not let him go.
But with the Great Principle Golden Immortal power Shen Lang could currently unleash, he was utterly unable to contend with the Heavenly Dao, and he would inevitably end up dead, with his Dao extinguished.
In the final outcome, his soul might be destroyed and his True Body torn apart.
So, consuming the Green Lotus of Creation's energy was the most important thing Shen Lang should do now.
Of course, this consumption wasn't pointless waste—it meant converting this energy into other things.
For example, the Grand Unity Dao Fruit condensed by the Nameless Cultivation Method!
Who said each living being could only have one Grand Unity Dao Fruit, right?
Therefore, after comprehending the Sword Soul Cultivation Method, Shen Lang was considering one question: how to maximize the use of this method.
The standard basic approach would be to have Tongtian's Sword Soul Cultivation Method overwrite Nuwa's Nameless Cultivation Method.
That is, directly shatter the primordial spirit condensed by the Nameless Cultivation Method and reforge it into a Sword Soul, a Grand Unity Sword Soul.
After all, a living being only needed one primordial spirit.
But the Sword Soul Cultivation Method's twin primordial spirits gave Shen Lang great inspiration.
Since twin primordial spirits were possible, why not three primordial spirits, or even four, five, six?
This was extremely difficult for other beings—maintaining one primordial spirit was already hard enough, let alone having the energy to refine a second one.
According to Shen Lang's memories, there was a concept of a second primordial spirit in the Primordial Era.
But that was all about forcibly splitting the soul and refining it with external objects, more like an incarnation or clone, not a true second primordial spirit.
What Shen Lang wanted was multiple primordial spirits—real multiple primordial spirits, not split souls!
As long as his True Spirit remained in any of those primordial spirits, he could control that one!
Most importantly, Shen Lang had no shortage of energy. His True Body, the Green Lotus of Creation, was enough to support him in putting his ideas into practice.
Without further ado, Shen Lang immediately began to act!
Step one, Shen Lang first stabilized his own Grand Unity Dao Fruit, which was the primordial spirit condensed by the Nameless Cultivation Method.
He needed to completely withdraw his Spiritual Sense from this Grand Unity Dao Fruit, but also ensure that this Dao Fruit wouldn't collapse as a result!
"A primordial spirit is the vessel of the True Spirit!"
