Ancestral Kunlun Vein, Kirin Karma

Limited by his realm, Xuan Yin only had a superficial understanding of the realms beyond the True Immortal Realm.

But he knew that an opportunity to hear a Sage preach the Dao was something one could only encounter by chance. He still used an Imprint Stone to record every part of the Sage's teachings.

It did not matter if he could not understand them now. He could slowly study them after his cultivation improved!

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years passed. The Sage's Dao Charm lingered for tens of thousands of miles around Upper Clarity Peak. Apart from the Jie Sect disciples listening to the Dao here, even the Spiritual Root Immortal Grass growing nearby received an enormous fortune.

Spiritual energy drifted through heaven and earth, Ancestral Qi manifested, and the Sage's Dao Charm merged with the Ancestral Kunlun Vein. The endless laws of the void transformed into wisps of Zi Qi that descended from above.

"This preaching ends here. In one hundred thousand years, I will test you all!"

"Dismiss yourselves!"

Sect Master Tongtian said no more. He merely instructed the many disciples present to digest what they had gained from this preaching, deciding to test them all one hundred thousand years later.

Nor did he ask whether they had anything they did not understand about the teachings.

The Dharma could not be passed on lightly, nor could the Dao be bestowed casually. Though he upheld the principle of education for all, he could not possibly answer every disciple's doubts!

Understanding meant understanding; not understanding meant not understanding. Though he would grant some opportunities, that also depended on whether these disciples possessed such fortune...

Those who seized their opportunities could naturally carve out a sliver of life. Those who stalled out of fear of a Sage's majesty would naturally gain no opportunity.

"Yes!"

The many Registered Disciples dispersed, leaving only the nine direct disciples behind voluntarily.

Several streams of light manifested from the void above the Sage's head, transforming into spiritual treasures of various colors. The aura of Innate Undying Spiritual Light churned the myriad phenomena of space and time.

"Duobao, you are the first Treasure Seeking Rat between heaven and earth, blessed with deep fortune. Today, I bestow upon you the Innate Spiritual Treasure Duobao Pagoda to suppress your fortune!"

"Jin Ling, you were born from Central Heavenly Brahma Qi and inherited Lady Ziguang's legacy. Today, I bestow upon you the Innate Spiritual Treasure Four Symbols Pagoda to suppress your Fortune-Tide Dao!"

"Wu Dang, you attained the Dao as a White Ape and possess exceptional cleverness. I bestow upon you the Innate Spiritual Treasure Fate Cutting Saber. This treasure can diminish another's fate, so use it with caution!"

"Gui Ling, you took form from a Spirit Turtle. Though you are water-aspected, your Heart Fire is unusually vigorous. I bestow upon you the Innate Spiritual Treasure Sun Moon Pearls to suppress the anger in your heart!"

Sect Master Tongtian's Dharma eyes were as piercing as torches. Based directly on the origins and temperaments of Duobao and the others, he bestowed corresponding Innate Spiritual Treasures upon them as objects to protect their Dao.

"Thank you, Teacher, for bestowing these treasures!"

Duobao and the others hurriedly bowed in thanks.

Immediately afterward, Sect Master Tongtian looked toward Zhao Gongming and the San Xiao. "Zhao Gongming, you attained the Dao as Qingfeng. I bestow upon you the Sea Calming Pearls to suppress your Heart Sea. When your Heart Sea is calm and without ripples, that will be the time you break through to Grand Unity!"

"Yunxiao, among the four siblings, your Dao heart is the clearest. Today, I bestow the Innate Spiritual Treasure Primordial Golden Dou upon you. It is a Treasure of Final Fate, capable of cutting away another's Three Flowers and Five Qi. It contains the power of the endless void and can contain the Four Seas, so it must not be used lightly!"

"As for Qiongxiao and Bixiao, your temperaments have yet to settle. I shall give the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors and Dragon Binding Rope to the two of you as protective treasures!"

A Sage's gaze could easily see through all things between heaven and earth. The origins and temperaments of the group were plainly visible before a Sage.

Moreover, an Innate Spiritual Treasure possessed a status comparable to Grand Unity. If one's temperament was unstable, it would not be the cultivator wielding the treasure, but the treasure controlling the cultivator instead!

However, to prevent the two from feeling dissatisfied, Sect Master Tongtian still explained, "These two treasures were personally refined by me. Their true bodies are Yin Yang Flood Dragons, and their power is in no way inferior to Innate Spiritual Treasures!"

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Zhao Gongming and the San Xiao hurriedly bowed in thanks as well, putting away their respective treasures.

Finally, Sect Master Tongtian looked toward Xuan Yin and slowly said, "Your cultivation is still too low. Even if I bestowed an Innate Spiritual Treasure upon you, you would not be able to use it. We shall speak of granting you a treasure after you break through to the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Yes!"

Xuan Yin hurriedly nodded.

After Sect Master Tongtian's preaching, he was no longer a complete novice in cultivation. He learned that Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial True Realm were broadly divided into three types: those nurtured by heaven and earth, those differentiated from the origin of Chaos Supreme Treasures, and those formed invisibly after Ancient Grand Unity experts underwent Dao Integration.

Yet no matter which kind it was, each possessed astonishing spirituality. Without sufficient strength and temperament, one simply could not unleash a spiritual treasure's power.

One might even be influenced by the Mind Consciousness of the spiritual treasure!

Therefore, wielding an Innate Spiritual Treasure without sufficient cultivation was not necessarily a good thing!

Some Innate Spiritual Treasures, formed through the Dao Integration of Ancient Grand Unity experts, even contained the other's Great Dao and would constantly influence the cultivation of whoever wielded them.

Only with a heart as immovable as an ancient divine mountain and Magic Power of at least the Golden Immortal Realm could one refine the residual Grand Unity will within a spiritual treasure.

Seeing that Sect Master Tongtian had nothing more to say, Xuan Yin and the others hurriedly withdrew from Shangqing Hall.

Though they were fellow disciples, they had only exchanged a few simple words since entering the Jie Sect. As the one with the highest cultivation among them, Duobao Daoist immediately invited everyone to his Cave Abode for a talk.

Xuan Yin did not refuse.

Though he had entered beneath a Sage's tutelage, he could not trouble the Sage over every trivial matter. He was well aware of his place.

Therefore, befriending fellow disciples and discussing the mysteries of the Dao was Xuan Yin's best option at present.

Duobao, Jin Ling, Zhao Gongming, and Yunxiao had all reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm. Wu Dang, Gui Ling, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao all possessed Golden Immortal cultivation as well, enough to answer most of his questions!

"Follow me!"

As soon as Duobao finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of Rainbow Light and led the way ahead. Considering Xuan Yin's cultivation, he even gave him a lift.

Though he had arrived at Kunlun several thousand years ago, Xuan Yin truly had never carefully admired the countless wonders of Mount Kunlun.

"That is..."

While heading toward Duobao Daoist's Cave Abode, Xuan Yin saw a cliff shaped like a kirin and could not help thinking of the legendary Kirin Cliff.

He then could not help glancing at Yunxiao!

It was said that this divine cliff had been transformed from the fleshly body of the ancient Great Power, First Kirin.

And according to later legends, after the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation jointly laid by the San Xiao was broken by a Sage, Yunxiao was suppressed beneath Kirin Cliff.

"This is Kirin Cliff!"

Seeing Xuan Yin's gaze, Duobao Daoist took the initiative to introduce it. "On the other side should be the dojo of our Second Martial Uncle!"

Kunlun Divine Mountain ran through the multiverse and suppressed All Heavens and Myriad Realms. The dojo occupied by the Three Pure Ones was merely one part of the Ancestral Kunlun Vein!

Yet upon hearing Duobao Daoist's words, a bold thought surfaced in Xuan Yin's mind... to directly take Kirin Cliff away!

The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in Bixiao's possession had been refined by Sect Master Tongtian from two flood dragons at the Grand Unity Realm. First Kirin's realm had been even higher, so Kirin Cliff, formed from his fleshly body, could naturally be refined into an even more powerful spiritual treasure.

He currently had no spiritual treasure to protect himself, yet he possessed the [Artifact Refining Secret Record] passed down by Sect Master Tongtian. He could absolutely try refining a spiritual treasure himself!

"Though the kirin is an auspicious beast, this corpse will eventually turn to earth and ash!"

"It would be better to let me benefit from it!"

As everyone knew, after the Dragon-Han Calamity, Ancestor Dragon suppressed the Return Ruins, Primordial Phoenix suppressed Immortal Volcano, and First Kirin sacrificed his True Spirit to the Heavenly Dao, becoming an auspicious omen of the Heavenly Dao and thereby preserving the inheritance of the three clans.

In other words, the Kirin Cliff before him was merely a corpse. It contained no Grand Unity will, so taking it away would not bring any danger.

Besides, he also wanted to see whether, after taking Kirin Cliff away, there would still be a future in which Yunxiao was suppressed beneath Kirin Cliff by the Grand Pure Sage...
