The three adopted sons flew onto the platform?
Seeing this scene, Master Zhong's heart thumped, and a bad premonition filled his mind.
"No, they're just on the platform, asking their masters for Restriction Breaking Pills again. They'll definitely get them," Master Zhong kept comforting himself.
However, after the three adopted sons went onto the platform, they stood behind their respective masters and didn't say anything to them. Their masters also looked down indifferently, waiting for their fellow disciples to fly up.
As expected, after going onto the platform, at the moment everyone was present, Zhong Shijiu, along with their respective masters, took their recruited disciples and flew away on their flying swords.
Seeing Zhong Shijiu leave, the last shred of hope in Master Zhong's heart finally shattered.
Unfilial, unfilial? Wicked sons, wicked sons! Master Zhong roared in his heart, but years of composure still allowed him to endure. He gently closed his eyes, a wave of sorrow washing over him.
Zhong Di and Zhong Xuan were also like this, standing behind their masters, waiting for the disciples of their martial uncles and martial granduncles to be fully recruited before setting off together. During this time, they didn't even look in Master Zhong's direction.
The eldest adopted son also saw the sudden change and was filled with surprise. How could this be? How could this be?
Looking at his adopted father with his eyes closed, Zhong Tian finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Zhong Di, Zhong Xuan, what are you two doing?" Zhong Tian roared.
With Zhong Tian's roar, almost everyone looked at him. The immortal sect disciples frowned and ignored him, while others didn't pay much attention.
Zhong Di and Zhong Xuan glanced at Zhong Tian's location, a hint of disdain flashing in their eyes.
"Who took you in when you were little beggars? Who gave you fine clothes and wealth? It was adopted father! Is this how you repay adopted father?" Zhong Tian roared.
Seeing the eldest adopted son like this, Master Zhong felt much better.
"You worthless fellows, have your hearts been eaten by dogs? Cultivating immortality, even if you can cultivate immortality, you're still evil demons!" Zhong Tian shouted, his anger soaring.
At this moment, Zhong Di seemed to say something in his master's ear.
His master's eyes widened, and he cast a spell with his hand.
Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A large pit, a huge pit three meters deep, appeared in front of Zhong Tian. Clearly, Zhong Di's master wanted Zhong Tian to stop making noise and didn't intend to kill him, otherwise, Zhong Tian would have been dead long ago.
Seeing this scene, it wasn't hard for everyone to guess that Zhong Di had said some obedient words.
Zhong Tian was hot-blooded at this moment. Since childhood, he had been raised by his adopted father. His life belonged to his adopted father. Therefore, Zhong Tian had vowed to serve his adopted father well. But now, his adopted brothers were acting like beasts. Zhong Tian couldn't stand it. And they even incited their master to warn him?
Adopted father just wanted a Restriction Breaking Pill, was it that difficult? Or have adopted father and I become ants in your eyes, worthless?
Seeing his adopted father's somewhat sighing expression, Zhong Tian unconsciously picked up a large stone from the ground and threw it fiercely towards Zhong Di's location.
Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The large stone flew into the air and instantly rushed towards Zhong Di's platform. Although Zhong Tian's cultivation wasn't high, he was born with divine strength in his arms and possessed boundless power. His strength alone had already reached the level of some people in the Innate Realm.
The large stone quickly smashed towards the platform.
At this moment, almost everyone was stunned. This, this person is seeking death? How dare he smash an immortal sect disciple?
"Seeking death~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Zhong Di's master roared.
Zhong Di's master, with a flip of his hand, sent a silver flying sword towards the large stone.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The large stone exploded with a bang, and the flying sword still shot towards Zhong Tian at a terrifying speed.
Seeing this scene, Master Zhong was startled. He swung his dragon-headed cane, trying to block the flying sword, but the flying sword was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it flew in front of Zhong Tian, who had a fearless expression.
"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
In front of Zhong Tian, a large golden ball suddenly appeared. With a flash of golden light, the flying sword was knocked back.
At the same time, on the upper platform, a bald monk suddenly flew in front of Zhong Tian. With a wave of his hand, the golden ball turned into a Buddhist bead and fell into his hand.
The monk looked at Zhong Tian, a hint of joy on his face.
"Naturally divine strength?" The monk looked at Zhong Tian in surprise.
Seeing what the monk said, Zhong Tian was stunned. Master Zhong, who was holding up his dragon-headed cane, also gently lowered his cane, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Are you willing to take me as your master?" The monk suddenly smiled.
Hearing what the monk said, the people below were all filled with surprise. This, this rough man had gained a blessing from misfortune?
The person who had released the flying sword earlier also frowned when he saw the monk come down and did not continue to release the flying sword. After all, the monk was from the upper platform, a person from the upper immortal sect.
Zhong Tian stared blankly at the monk. It was Master Zhong, whose state of mind was calm after all, who pushed Zhong Tian. He immediately woke Zhong Tian up.
"Disciple Zhong Tian, greets Master." Zhong Tian immediately knelt down and bowed. He kowtowed three times in a row.
"Hmm, get up, and come back to the mountain with me," the monk said with a smile.
However, Zhong Tian did not get up. Instead, he knelt on the ground and said to the monk, "Master, this disciple has a request."
"Oh?" The monk was a little surprised, but he still looked at Zhong Tian patiently.
"This disciple humbly requests Master to bestow upon me a Restriction Breaking Pill," Zhong Tian said, kneeling on the ground.
Hearing what Zhong Tian said, the monk's eyes widened in surprise, while Master Zhong, at this moment, let out a long sigh of relief, as if the stuffiness in his heart had suddenly eased. At the same time, he also looked at the monk with anticipation.
The monk looked at Zhong Tian unexpectedly, and then looked at Master Zhong meaningfully. He quickly saw the clue. He smiled with narrowed eyes. But he nodded.
"Restriction Breaking Pill, that's too low-grade. I don't have it yet, but my disciple has spoken. As your master, of course I have to find one for you," the monk said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master," Zhong Tian kowtowed repeatedly, excited.
"Hmm, get up. Don't damage your head from kowtowing," the monk said.
"Yes," Zhong Tian immediately stood up, looked at his adoptive father, and then at the monk, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, the monk suddenly flipped his hand and took out a golden, longan-sized pill.
As soon as the pill appeared, Master Zhong smelled an unusually wonderful fragrance. Just a sniff made it feel as if all the pores in his body had opened up.
"Fellow Daoists, whoever has a Restriction Breaking Pill, I will exchange it for this Nascent Soul Pill," the monk said loudly.
As soon as the monk spoke, almost everyone stared at the Nascent Soul Pill in the monk's hand. Nascent Soul Pill, was that a Nascent Soul Pill? Restriction Breaking Pill was a tasteless pill. Could one Restriction Breaking Pill be exchanged for one Nascent Soul Pill?
Almost all the immortal sect disciples rummaged through their bags, but there was no Restriction Breaking Pill. Only one, a disciple from a lower immortal sect, actually found a purple Restriction Breaking Pill in his storage bag. Yes, it was this thing.
That person excitedly flew towards the valley on his flying sword.
"Master, I have one here, I wonder..." the person called out excitedly.
"Here." The Great Monk tossed the Nascent Soul Pill. With a flick of his hand, the Restriction Breaking Pill landed in his grasp.
"Thank you, Master." The person excitedly put away the Nascent Soul Pill. He flew back amidst the envious gazes of almost everyone.
"Here." The Great Monk handed the pill to Zhong Tian.
"Thank you, Master," Zhong Tian said with excitement. He then turned and handed the Restriction Breaking Pill to Master Zhong.
At this moment, below, almost all the mortals looked at the Restriction Breaking Pill with red eyes. A Restriction Breaking Pill! If I had one, wouldn't I immediately reach the Innate Realm?
With envious and jealous eyes, they stared at the direction the Restriction Breaking Pill was being transferred.
Seeing Zhong Tian hand over the Restriction Breaking Pill, Master Zhong's heart was filled with excitement. How many years had it been? How many years had he longed for this?
Carefully, he took out the Restriction Breaking Pill. He glanced around, looking at the many prying eyes. Without hesitation, Master Zhong plunged his dragon-headed staff into the ground, opened his mouth, swallowed the pill, and then closed his eyes to sit down and regulate his breathing.
Master Zhong's lack of hesitation was also due to his immediate understanding of the stakes involved. If he didn't swallow it now, after all the immortal sect disciples left, he would definitely not be able to leave this valley, and the Restriction Breaking Pill would be snatched away.
Innate, the Innate Realm! Who wouldn't be envious? Seeing Master Zhong sit down and begin to break through, almost everyone let out a sigh of regret and a hint of jealousy.
Seeing his adoptive father regulating his breathing, Zhong Tian also waited patiently. The Great Monk didn't pull Zhong Tian away but stayed with him, waiting. Seeing Zhong Tian's loyalty and righteousness, a smile appeared on the Great Monk's face. Such a disciple would not even scheme against his master in the future.
Master Zhong, after swallowing that Restriction Breaking Pill, felt the pill instantly transform into a wondrous energy that merged into his body. Furthermore, it quickly entered his dantian. Inside the dantian was a small vortex, a true qi vortex, used to store and accumulate true qi.
Due to the cultivation method, Master Zhong's true qi had a golden hue. As soon as the Restriction Breaking Pill arrived, it directly rushed into the vortex, seemingly squeezing the vortex madly.
Master Zhong controlled the true qi vortex to spin wildly. Each rotation seemed to make it a little smaller. The true qi circulated continuously within the body's great circulation, circle after circle, until the seventy-second circle.
"Meng~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The golden vortex finally shrank, changing completely. The entire vortex became one-tenth of its original size, but at this moment, it was a purple-gold small vortex. The golden true qi, after passing through the vortex once, quickly also turned into purple-gold true qi, circulating within the meridians.
At the same time, outside Master Zhong's body, it seemed as if wisps of purple mist were rising, making Master Zhong, sitting there, appear much more ethereal.
And Master Zhong's original white hair, white eyebrows, and white beard, at this moment, were slowly turning black. At the same time, his face, during the breakthrough, became much younger, forty to fifty years old, forty to fifty years old. Now, Master Zhong's appearance was that of someone in their forties or fifties, looking much younger, incredibly miraculous.
Innate, this is Innate. The surrounding mortals, one by one, showed extreme envy. Pairs of jealous eyes stared at Master Zhong, who was breaking through.
As for the immortal sect disciples, they all showed expressions of disdain.
In the sky, the immortal sect disciples left one after another, each taking their disciples and flying towards their respective mountain gates. Although they were somewhat surprised by Master Zhong's situation, they didn't pay too much attention. Innate? And an Innate achieved with a Restriction Breaking Pill. Perhaps he would remain at this realm for the rest of his life. There was nothing to see.
On the high platform, the few upper immortal sects had almost all left. Only two remained. One was the immortal sect where Zhong Tian's master was, waiting for Zhong Tian. The other was that woman, that extremely beautiful woman in purple robes. The woman's indifferent eyes scanned around. This Dragon Gate Assembly had not presented anyone who caught her eye, so she hadn't taken any disciples. Only this farce was somewhat unexpected to her. She glanced at Master Zhong, who was sitting cross-legged, and then leaped up, flying into the sky and disappearing from the spot.
The true qi circulated for another thirty-six circles, completely turning purple-gold. At this point, Master Zhong stopped cultivating. Innate Realm, truly the Innate Realm. At this moment, his entire body felt as if it had inexhaustible strength, vast and endless, continuous and unbroken.
He opened his eyes, and a sharp glint shot out from them.
Looking at Zhong Tian, who was constantly worried beside him, Master Zhong gently exhaled, a smile appearing on his face.
"Adoptive father, you succeeded?" Zhong Tian asked eagerly.
"Thanks to you," Master Zhong said as he slowly stood up.
"My life was saved by adoptive father, this is only right. It's just that from now on, I will be going to the immortal sect and won't be able to serve adoptive father anymore," Zhong Tian said with a sigh.
Looking at his adoptive son, Master Zhong sighed with emotion and nodded, saying, "Cultivate with peace of mind from now on. Go."
Seeing that Master Zhong didn't push his luck for more benefits, the Great Monk beside him nodded.
"Disciple, let's go," the Great Monk said.
"Yes, Master," Zhong Tian replied.
"Foster Father, your child is leaving," Zhong Tian said to Master Zhong.
As Master Zhong nodded, the Great Monk flipped his hand, and a white cloud suddenly appeared, carrying Zhong Tian towards the upper platform. He would meet up with the other monks and fly out of Dragon Gate Valley together.
As for Master Zhong, at this moment, his pupils constricted, and he looked at the white cloud carrying Zhong Tian with surprise.
"Tian'er, you've found a good master," Master Zhong nodded and said.
