"Many thanks to Senior Sister Holy Mother Jin Ling for yielding to this Junior Brother."
In the void, Cangyuan waved his hand to disperse the ancient and vast Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, bowing toward Holy Mother Jin Ling. His expression was humble and restrained, as if he were not the one who had just defeated her.
Holy Mother Jin Ling clutched her full chest, feeling a surge of stifled frustration that she could not suppress.
This brat...
He had clearly defeated her, yet he still claimed she had yielded to him!
Yielded, my foot!
If she hadn't unleashed her mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation at the very end and used the Four Symbols Pagoda for full-scale defense, her physical Dao body might have been shattered by Cangyuan just now.
This brat... his expression was truly infuriating.
But she still couldn't beat him.
How annoying.
Holy Mother Jin Ling rolled her eyes at Cangyuan, her pearly teeth grinding together: "You brat..."
It wasn't that Holy Mother Jin Ling was angry about losing to Cangyuan; as the dignified Elder Sister of the Jie Sect, she wasn't that petty. What truly depressed her was that this brat had clearly won, yet he wore such a humble, eager-to-learn expression.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the one who had won.
This brat was putting on an act!
"Alright, alright."
Duobao stepped forward, smiling to smooth things over: "We are all fellow disciples, no need to be troubled by this. Let us discuss the Three Religions Dao Discussion Conference instead."
Cangyuan thought for a moment and took an Innate Spiritual Root out from the Evergreen Realm.
It was a small golden tree, radiating a dense Geng Metal Qi. Every wisp of its aura felt like a peerless sharp sword, piercing and bone-chilling, containing the Geng Metal Law within!
This tree was none other than a High-grade Innate Spiritual Root—the Geng Metal Mother Tree!
This was one of the three High-grade Innate Spiritual Roots that Cangyuan had scavenged from Fangzhang Immortal Island previously.
"Senior Sister Holy Mother Jin Ling, I have heard that you attained the Dao and underwent Form Transformation from a wisp of Geng Metal Qi. I believe this High-grade Innate Spiritual Root will be of great help to you. If you refine it, you might be able to break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal in a short time."
Cangyuan smiled sincerely: "By then, with the cultivation of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, Senior Sister Holy Mother Jin Ling will be the undisputed number one of the three religions."
Cangyuan had already used most of the low and medium-grade Innate Spiritual Roots and acquired spiritual roots, but he hadn't touched a single one of the high-grade ones.
Holy Mother Jin Ling gave a playful look, staring at Cangyuan with a half-smile: "And then lose to you again, right?"
Cangyuan laughed awkwardly: "Haha."
Holy Mother Jin Ling nodded gently, not refusing Cangyuan's kindness: "Thanks, little Junior Brother. Senior Sister won't take your spiritual root for nothing. If you need anything in the future, just call for me. I may not be good at strategy, and my combat power is not as high as yours, but it will be enough to help you."
Holy Mother Jin Ling was formed from a wisp of Geng Metal Qi between heaven and earth; the Geng Metal Spiritual Charm and Laws contained within the Geng Metal Mother Tree were great tonics for her!
If she refined this tree, Holy Mother Jin Ling was confident she could break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal within one Yuan Cycle!
The further one progressed in cultivation, the more time was measured in Yuan Cycles, or even Calamities.
And this Geng Metal Mother Tree could greatly shorten the time it would take for her to reach the late stage.
Cangyuan was right about one thing: once she broke through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, she would be the undisputed number one of the three religions!
Of course, that was excluding the exception that was Cangyuan.
Cangyuan chuckled.
Holy Mother Jin Ling put away the Geng Metal Mother Tree.
Returning to the Three Immortal Island.
Everyone took their seats again to discuss the matters of the Three Religions Dao Discussion Conference.
Among them, Han Zhi Xian, Fairy Caiyun, and Shiji were only Registered Disciples; they could not interject in discussions involving formal disciples and those at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
Yunxiao was always elegant and quiet; she rarely spoke unless necessary.
Bixiao and Qiongxiao were kept in check by Yunxiao.
Since her Form Transformation, Bai Lianxin had grown close to the Sanxiao Sisters and had now integrated into their circle, becoming like a sister to them.
The fourth sister?
Holy Mother Jin Ling was not interested in such matters.
Holy Mother Wudang had always had a low presence and did not like to talk.
Guiling Holy Mother... perhaps due to her turtle nature, this voluptuous and sexy mature woman was usually dull and wooden, but when she got angry, her temper was even more explosive than Holy Mother Jin Ling's.
Likewise.
Guiling did not speak on such occasions either.
As for Cangyuan, he echoed everything Duobao said. No matter what Duobao suggested, Cangyuan would say: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, Senior Brother is absolutely right. Let's do as Senior Brother says."
The group's behavior left Duobao feeling at a loss.
Finally, they departed.
They intended to discuss the matter with the disciples of the other two religions.
It is completely impossible to have a proper discussion with these Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers of mine!
After Duobao left, the Female Immortal Conference on Three Immortal Island continued.
The sparring session concluded.
What followed was the discussion of the Dao.
Cangyuan dragged the Six-Eared Macaque, who had been cultivating in Canglan Palace, out to listen.
He let him sit to the side and listen to the lecture.
The discussion of the Dao between three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, five Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, and three Golden Immortals was of immense benefit to the monkey, who was only at the Profound Immortal realm.
Between discussions, Cangyuan was not stingy; he took out Enlightenment Tea Leaves and brewed them for everyone to taste.
He fully displayed the hospitality of a host.
Under the enhancement of the Enlightenment Tea, everyone felt as if they were divinely inspired during their discussion!
Especially since it was their first time drinking the Enlightenment Tea, the effects were exceptionally good.
Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Female Immortal Conference on Three Immortal Island came to an end.
Everyone had gained something.
Among them, the Six-Eared Macaque had even jumped directly from the peak of the Profound Immortal realm to attain the Immortal Golden Immortal realm!
From then on, he would share the same lifespan as heaven and earth, surviving ten thousand tribulations without perishing!
A Golden Immortal is, after all, immortal!
Jin Ling couldn't wait to return to her Dojo with the Geng Metal Mother Tree.
She wanted to break through to the late stage of the Zenith Heaven realm!
She wanted to be the number one person among the three sects!
Wudang's temperament was peaceful and calm, emphasizing the principle of letting things take their natural course; naturally, she was in no rush regarding cultivation.
On the contrary.
Guiling was anxious.
Among the four Personal Disciples, she was the only one who had yet to attain the Zenith Heaven realm.
Even her Junior Brother had attained the Zenith Heaven realm before her.
It would be strange if Guiling weren't anxious.
Thus, Guiling left in a hurry, claiming she was going to seek out her own opportunity to attain the Dao.
Cangyuan did not think much of it.
Guiling attaining the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm was a certainty.
It was merely a matter of time.
Han Zhi Xian, Fairy Caiyun, and Shiji bid their farewells and left together.
At this point.
Only five people and one monkey remained on Three Immortal Island.
The Six-Eared Macaque scratched his head, shouldered his Coiling Dragon Staff, walked up to Cangyuan, and chuckled, "Hehe, Master, I have already attained the Golden Immortal realm now. I want to go out and take a look, and discuss the Dao with fellow practitioners of the Jie Sect."
Hearing this, Cangyuan looked at the Six-Eared Macaque with a puzzled expression and asked, "When have I ever restricted you? If you wanted to discuss the Dao with fellow practitioners of the Jie Sect, you could have gone before."
Six-Eared Macaque: "..."
"Uh... is that so? It seems I misunderstood Master's intentions."
Previously, Cangyuan had never mentioned letting the Six-Eared Macaque go out, so the Six-Eared Macaque assumed that Cangyuan was worried his cultivation was too low and that going out would only embarrass his master, which was why he hadn't let him leave.
Monkeys are naturally restless.
And so, the moment the Six-Eared Macaque attained the Golden Immortal realm, he immediately brought this matter up to Cangyuan.
He believed that since he was now a Golden Immortal, he was no worse than some of the second-generation disciples in the Jie Sect, and that he wouldn't embarrass his master by going out now.
Who would have thought... Master didn't mention it because he hadn't restricted his freedom at all.
"Hehehe."
The Six-Eared Macaque was happy, circling around Cangyuan: "Then Master, I'm off."
"Mm."
The Six-Eared Macaque stepped onto an auspicious cloud and left.
From this point on, only Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Bai Lianxin, and Cangyuan remained on Three Immortal Island.
Yunxiao looked at Cangyuan with a gentle smile, her voice as clear and melodious as an orchid in an empty valley: "Junior Brother, you just returned from Master, what do you plan to do next?"
