Was this the strength of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?

What "one somersault, one hundred and eight thousand li"? It was utterly incomparable to the escape speed of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Zhou Qingqing had not expected that she would not be stored away in a spatial realm. Instead, she could breathe the air of the Primordial World outside. At that moment, in her lotus form, she rested on Tongtian's shoulder.

This way, she could also take in the sights of the Primordial World.

"Hmph, what one hundred and eight thousand li? The distance we can cross in a single thought is beyond measure. Comparing us Three Pure Ones to a Mystic Immortal—little girl, you really are a little girl."

Jade Pure Yuanshi gave a proud, disdainful snort.

Little Green Lotus had not been put away in a spatial realm, naturally, because they could hear the little girl's thoughts.

The divine ability Jade Purity is using should be Golden Light Escape. Riding on golden light really does look pretty cool.

"You do have some insight, to actually recognize my divine ability."

He had initially thought Zhou Qingqing's knowledge was merely average.

But now, he felt that Zhou Qingqing had a good eye after all.

The reversal came without the slightest warning.

It left the other two, who were communicating through divine sense, utterly speechless.

Their second brother seemed a little too easy to please.

Zhou Qingqing had merely thought that Golden Light Escape looked impressive, yet Yuanshi immediately changed his attitude. Whether this was a collapse of morality or a distortion of humanity truly could not be casually explained.

"Hmph, you're just jealous. So what if my Golden Light Escape has special effects?"

"Why don't you make your own escape lights look better, then? You're just jealous because you can't."

"..."

"..."

Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian subconsciously swept their divine senses elsewhere.

Their second brother's current attitude was truly an eyesore. They could not bear to look any longer.

Eh, that cliff looks like a Qilin.

Zhou Qingqing looked around and indeed discovered something remarkable.

It was her first time in the Primordial World, and everything was novel to her. Things with particularly distinctive shapes, especially, immediately caught her eye.

Listening to Zhou Qingqing fuss over every little thing,

the Three Pure Ones laughed again.

Zhou Qingqing was making a fuss over nothing.

During the Dragon-Han Calamity, Mount Buzhou itself had been occupied by the Qilin Clan.

What was so surprising about a cliff that resembled a Qilin?

Ignoring Zhou Qingqing's fussing, the Three Pure Ones prepared to leave.

Eh, why don't the Three Pure Ones seem to have any intention of stopping?

Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian are understandable, but why does even Jade Pure Yuanshi have no reaction?

Jade Pure Yuanshi, who had been idly watching, was suddenly mentioned and found it rather baffling.

The eldest brother and third brother were understandable.

Why was he the exception?

Well, that is possible. Yuanshi is only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal right now. It would be normal if he couldn't detect the mysteries of Qilin Cliff.

Qilin Cliff, transformed from First Qilin, should contain his insights as a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal, right?

Wasn't First Qilin's own child also taken by Yuanshi as a mount?

Logically speaking, First Qilin was only a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal. Could Yuanshi really fail to discover the wonder within it now?

"..."

"..."

Jade Pure Yuanshi did not need to look to know what expressions his eldest brother and third brother wore at that moment.

So Qilin Cliff before them really was fated with him?

"Big Brother, Third Brother, you don't actually think what this girl said is true, do you?"

"First Qilin was an overlord during the Dragon-Han Calamity."

"When they dominated the previous Calamity, this girl's consciousness had not even been born yet. What could she possibly know about First Qilin?"

Hearing Jade Pure Yuanshi's tone,

Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian both knew that their second brother was flustered.

"Hehe, Yuanshi, words are useless. Haven't you always questioned whether the little girl's words were true? Now is precisely the time for you to prove yourself!"

Jade Pure Yuanshi was completely numb by now.

He knew that this time, he truly had no reason not to go.

Even if he wanted to verify it in private, that was absolutely impossible.

His eldest brother and third brother would certainly drag him there by force.

Jade Pure Yuanshi had resigned himself to his fate.

This time, he had to go to Qilin Cliff whether he wanted to or not.

Jade Pure Yuanshi flicked his sleeves, changed direction again, and headed straight toward Qilin Cliff.

Zhou Qingqing was still marveling when Jade Pure Yuanshi unexpectedly came to a stop.

Then she saw Jade Pure Yuanshi move half a step ahead of Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian, seemingly preparing to set off toward Qilin Cliff.

Oh, it seems I underestimated Jade Pure Yuanshi.

Looks like he was the first to discover Qilin Cliff's mysteries.

Judging by Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian, they probably haven't discovered the mystery within it either.

"..."

"..."

Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian had not expected that merely yielding half a step would bring them up again. In the blink of an eye, Jade Pure Yuanshi had instead become the wisest of the Three Pure Ones.

"Serves you right. This is what you get for plotting against me."

Jade Pure Yuanshi's mood immediately improved. Even as he advanced, the wind seemed to howl around him.

Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian's faces twitched.

Clearly, Jade Pure Yuanshi had been forced into doing this, so why did it now seem as though he had become the greatest winner?

However.

This situation had also been brought about by the two brothers themselves.

They could only swallow their broken teeth in silence.

The three Pure Ones and one lotus traveled swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived before Qilin Cliff.

Jade Pure Yuanshi stared straight at Qilin Cliff before him. He wanted to see just what mysteries this thing possessed.

Yet after sweeping it several times with his divine sense, he still found no clue whatsoever.

Qilin Cliff really is beautiful. First Qilin was the ancestor of the Qilin Clan and represented beginnings.

Jade Pure Yuanshi is also the beginning of all things. He should be able to easily stir it into action, right?

"..."

Jade Pure Yuanshi had never expected that one day, he would need a little girl's reminder before thinking of such a method.

He had never met First Qilin and did not know First Qilin's Great Dao.

Yet from the little girl's words, First Qilin's Great Dao actually seemed to share a certain connection with the Dao he cultivated.

If that was the case,

then this would be easy.

"Recount the origin, the beginning of all things—Yuanshi Auspicious Cloud, emerge!"

With a soft shout from Jade Pure Yuanshi, streams of divine light immediately surged from his body. In the end, they transformed into an enormous auspicious cloud that covered Qilin Cliff in the blink of an eye.

Holy crap, this divine ability is way too cool. The special effects are really something.

Watching Jade Pure Yuanshi's auspicious cloud before her, Zhou Qingqing sighed in admiration once more.

Endless auspicious energy filled it, while the supreme intent of the Great Dao flowed within, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty.

Just looking at it inspired a sense of heartfelt awe.
