Zhenyuanzi: Esteemed Brother, I Miss You-Where Are You, Are You Doing Okay?

Sect Master Tongtian was greatly surprised by the twelve Third Grade Innate White Lotuses floating around Bai Lianxin.

He clearly remembered that when he had refined the Saint Restriction, those twelve Third-Grade White Lotuses had plainly been Houtian.

How had they all become Innate after merely one Yuanhui apart?

Bai Lianxin was equally bewildered by this and turned to look at Cangyuan.

Cangyuan stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Reporting to Master, our Nurturing Ground contains some Innate Undying Spiritual Light."

Cangyuan attributed all the Innate Undying Spiritual Light obtained from the system to the Nurturing Ground.

Sect Master Tongtian nodded at this. "It seems your Nurturing Ground is indeed extraordinary. It actually contains Innate Undying Spiritual Light, and quite a lot of it at that."

"Very well. I keep my word. Bai Lianxin, are you willing to enter my sect?"

No matter how innocent and naive Bai Lianxin was, she understood the weight carried by a Saint in the Prehistoric World.

She immediately dropped to both knees. "Disciple Bai Lianxin pays respects to Master."

"Hahahaha!" Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily. "Good, good, good! With you and Cangyuan in my Jie Sect, it is truly a great blessing, hahahaha!"

With a Saint's Dharma Eye, Sect Master Tongtian could naturally see through Cangyuan and Bai Lianxin's innate foundations.

Both possessed the foundations of High-grade Innate Divine Beings!

Even among the Second Generation of the Three Sects, such foundations were unprecedented.

The Second Generation of the Three Sects were mostly Innate Beings, and some were even Houtian beings. Innate Divine Being foundations like those of Cangyuan and Bai Lianxin were simply an overwhelming advantage!

So long as they did not fall, they would inevitably become top-tier Quasi-Saints like Styx and Zhenyuanzi in the future!

They would be pillars of the Jie Sect!

And with his protection, who in the vast Prehistoric World would dare lay a hand on the disciples of Sect Master Tongtian?

Even if Tongtian agreed, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in his hands would not!

No, Tongtian himself would never agree!

Sect Master Tongtian waved his hand, and treasure light bloomed as a crisp spear cry rang throughout Biyou Palace!

A mighty silver-white spear appeared before Bai Lianxin.

Sect Master Tongtian said, "From this day onward, you are my Fifth Personal Disciple. This is the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure once used by the Ancestral Dragon—the Ancestral Dragon Spear. Today, I bestow it upon you as your master."

Compared to the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure Ancestral Dragon Pearl, this Ancestral Dragon Spear was indeed not particularly famous.

But famous or not, it was still a genuine Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Besides the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure Ancestral Dragon Spear, there were several mid- and high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, along with a heap of Houtian Spiritual Treasures.

Sect Master Tongtian was a peerless master of formation arrays, but that did not mean he was weak in Artifact Refining.

At most, his Artifact Refining Dao was inferior to his Formation Array Dao.

Still, refining a few Houtian Spiritual Treasures was more than easy for him.

Bai Lianxin stroked the Ancestral Dragon Spear, unable to put it down.

Because Sect Master Tongtian held an inexplicable reverence for Sword Dao, the Jie Sect favored swords, but that did not mean every Jie Teach Disciple used one.

For example, Zhao Gongming's weapon was the Divine Whip!

"Thank you, Master. Hehe."

Bai Lianxin said with a giggle.

Sect Master Tongtian smiled faintly and looked at Cangyuan. "Cangyuan, are you going to Wuzhuang Temple?"

Cangyuan replied, "Reporting to Master, yes."

Sect Master Tongtian nodded and flicked his finger. A streak of green light cut through the void and appeared before Cangyuan.

It was a three-foot green sword. Its blade was lush green, like a Green Lotus Leaf freshly emerged from the water.

The sword emitted green divine radiance, Sword Dao Law circulating endlessly across it and displaying profound attainments in Sword Dao.

Two large characters, carved by Great Dao Divine Patterns, stood out clearly on the blade: "Qingping!"

Back then, the twenty-fourth-grade Creation Green Lotus had been divided under the Heavenly Dao's design. The Green Lotus Leaf had become the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure—Qingping Sword!

It was Sect Master Tongtian's Dao Proving Spiritual Treasure, carrying extraordinary significance.

Its power alone surpassed that of any single one of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

Sect Master Tongtian said, "Go. Qingping will open a path for you and ensure your safe passage."

"Yes, Master."

Cangyuan respectfully caught the Qingping Sword.

With that, the five of them bowed to Sect Master Tongtian together and withdrew from Biyou Palace.

Outside Biyou Palace.

A delighted smile appeared on Bixiao's delicate little face. "Yay! We actually get to go somewhere as far away as Wuzhuang Temple this time. That's wonderful!"

Qiongxiao also looked like a curious child.

After all, since the Three Xiao underwent Form Transformation, they had remained at Mount Emei Luofu Cave. Later, they came to East Sea Jin'ao Island to take Sect Master Tongtian as their master. Other than their previous trip to the Heavenly Court for the Heavenly Wedding Gala, the three sisters had truly never visited any famous landmarks in the Prehistoric World.

They were far behind Cangyuan in that regard.

Not only Bixiao and Qiongxiao, even Yunxiao was the same.

It was just that Yunxiao had always been dignified and composed, so she would not wear her emotions on her face like her two younger sisters.

Bixiao curiously tugged at Cangyuan, looking like an inquisitive child. "Junior Brother, why are we going to Wuzhuang Temple? Did Master ask you to pass something on to Senior Zhenyuanzi?"

Cangyuan smiled. "You'll find out when we get there."

Qiongxiao said impatiently, "Junior Brother, what are we waiting for? Let's set off now."

"Mm."

"Senior Qingping, we'll trouble you."

"Mm. Since it is your teacher's arrangement, then... let us go."

To Cangyuan, Qingping Sword was communicating with him. But to the Three Xiao and Bai Lianxin, Qingping Sword merely hummed and trembled twice before flying from Cangyuan's hand.

Above Jin'ao Island, an immense Primordial Azure Radiance Sword Qi streaked across the sky!

Sword Dao Law roared without end!

Space was split apart by Qingping Sword!

Standing on Jin'ao Island, Cangyuan and the others could actually see the scene on the other side through the spatial rift.

On the other side, the most striking sight was a towering ancient tree brimming with immense life force!

"Let's go."

Cangyuan put away Qingping Sword and carried it on his back. He leaped into the air first, crossing in a single step to outside Wuzhuang Temple on the other side.

The Sanxiao Sisters and Bai Lianxin followed close behind.

One after another, they crossed the spatial rift and arrived at Wuzhuang Temple.

"How convenient." Looking at the spatial rift slowly healing behind him, Cangyuan sighed. "If I could tear through space whenever I wanted, I wouldn't have to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years traveling next time."

Cangyuan was truly envious.

Fortunately, in the Primordial World, Great Luo Golden Immortals could tear apart space. His current realm was not far from that level.

"Let's go knock on the door," Cangyuan said.

At the same time.

Inside Wuzhuang Temple.

Beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

A middle-aged cultivator in an Apricot-earth Yellow Daoist Robe sat cross-legged in deduction. Before him, the River of Time flickered in and out of view, revealing past, present, and future, as though he were searching for something.

After a moment, the middle-aged taoist opened his eyes, his expression desolate. "Esteemed Brother Hongyun's aura does not appear even within the River of Time. It seems his prospects are grim."

"Esteemed Brother, I miss you. Where are you, are you doing okay?"

The next instant, the middle-aged taoist's mild and steady gaze turned sharp and murderous. "Do not let me discover who harmed Esteemed Brother Hongyun. Otherwise, even if I must cast aside all my Daoxing, I will avenge him!"

This middle-aged taoist was none other than the famed Great Immortal Zhenyuan of the Journey to the West era—Zhenyuanzi!

Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun had known, understood, and befriended one another even before they underwent Form Transformation. The depth of their bond went without saying.

It ran deep.

To avenge Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi was even willing to stake the Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit he had cultivated through countless years.

"Master."

At that moment, two Young Daoist Boys arrived together and respectfully bowed. "Master, Jie Teach Disciples are requesting an audience outside the temple."
