Celestial Court Envoy Visits! Petty-Mindedness

With the eyesight of Tongtian and Yuanshi, they could naturally see that Qin Mu's cultivation had already broken through to Golden Immortal Late Stage.

As the first disciple under the Three Pure Ones, such a cultivation speed was not exactly a disgrace to their prestige.

Yuanshi narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible flicker of strangeness passing through them, and silently pondered:

"Strange."

"Why does this kid give me a familiar feeling?"

"Could it be... because of that Creation Green Lotus seed the teacher bestowed upon him?"

Just as Yuanshi was lost in thought, a vast aura suddenly erupted from a cave dwelling not far away.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged madly, forming a massive vortex of spiritual energy.

"Big Brother is about to break through!"

Yuanshi's gaze sharpened as he spoke with excitement.

Tongtian also stared toward the source of the aura.

The aura came quickly and faded just as fast, soon dissipating without a trace.

Immediately after, a figure materialized before Qin Mu and the other two—it was Taishang.

At this moment, Taishang emanated an ethereal aura, as if merged with heaven and earth.

Three flowers faintly appeared above his head, and the Five Energies returned to the Origin in his chest.

He had clearly stepped into Quasi-Saint Mid Stage, having severed the Second Corpse!

"Congratulations, Big Brother!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian congratulated in unison.

Seeing this, Qin Mu also bowed deeply and said:

"Congratulations, Senior Uncle-Master!"

Taishang smiled faintly and said:

"Just a small achievement."

As he spoke these words, Taishang's tone was very calm, but anyone could see that his mood was excellent.

After all, in the current Primordial World, the only one who could sever two corpses besides the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was probably him.

Next, the Three Pure Ones continued their discourse on the Dao.

Qin Mu listened from the side.

Suddenly, Taishang stopped, his gaze turning cold as he looked toward the direction of Kunlun Mountain's mountain gate.

At the same time, Yuanshi and Tongtian also seemed to sense something.

Only Qin Mu looked completely bewildered, not knowing what was happening.

Then, Taishang shifted his gaze, looked at Qin Mu, and said:

"Qin Mu."

"Go down the mountain. Someone has come to visit."

Hearing Taishang's words, Qin Mu quickly bowed and replied:

"Yes, Senior Uncle-Master!"

Afterward, Qin Mu did not delay and immediately flew down toward the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

"At this time, who would come to visit Kunlun Mountain?"

Qin Mu wondered to himself.

Before long, he had pressed down his cloud and arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Kunlun Mountain was the Dao Field of the Three Pure Ones, and the entire Dao Field was shrouded by a supreme grand formation.

This formation was called the "Three Talents Primordial Chaos Array."

The grand formation was jointly arranged by the Three Pure Ones, containing the mysteries of the three talents—Heaven, Earth, and Man—and the might of the Primordial Chaos One Qi.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators; even if a Quasi-Saint Great Expert came, if they did not understand the mysteries of the formation, they could not take a single step inside.

At this moment, outside the Three Talents Primordial Chaos Array, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was pacing back and forth, a hint of anxiety in his expression.

The visitor wore a Purple Gold Crown and a cloud-patterned Immortal Robe, with a "Celestial Court Token" hanging at his waist.

Immortal Light swirled around him, clearly marking him as a figure of some standing in the Primordial World.

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the grand formation opened.

Seeing this, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped forward.

At that moment, Qin Mu, who had activated the formation, slowly stepped forward and immediately saw the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal walking briskly toward him.

"Who might you be?"

"Why do you linger at the foot of Kunlun Mountain?"

Qin Mu demanded.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal halted mid-step and fixed his gaze on Qin Mu, scrutinizing him.

The longer he looked, the deeper his brow furrowed, and the more displeased he grew inside.

"A mere Golden Immortal dares to rebuke This Seat like this?"

The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal fumed inwardly, but on the surface, he forced a faint smile.

After all, this was the territory of the Three Pure Ones.

Though he possessed the cultivation of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he dared not act rashly here.

Moreover, he had come this time bearing orders, seeking a favor from the Three Pure Ones.

"You have my greetings, young friend."

"I am an Envoy of the Celestial Court."

"I have come today specifically to pay a visit to the Three Pure Ones, the venerable seniors!"

Qin Mu heard this, was slightly surprised, and silently remarked:

"And I thought who it was."

"So it's someone from the Celestial Court."

Qin Mu muttered under his breath, naturally knowing that this Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was one of East King Duke's men.

And East King Duke was the "Head of Male Immortals" personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, governing all male immortals in the Primordial World.

He had established the Celestial Court on Purple Mansion Continent in the Eastern Sea, recruiting immortals in an attempt to unify the Primordial World.

"This East King Duke could be considered a lucky one."

"But at the same time, he's also a tragic one."

"Though he received Hongjun's appointment, he failed to see the heavenly mechanism, sought to rule the Primordial World, and ultimately fell to the Demon Race, ending in death and dissolution."

Just as Qin Mu was lost in thought, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal frowned slightly and called out with a hint of doubt:

"Young friend?"

"Oh."

Qin Mu snapped back to reality, responded indifferently, and said in a flat tone:

"Follow me!"

With that, Qin Mu paid the man no further heed and turned to walk away.

The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, seeing Qin Mu's cold attitude toward him, felt a surge of annoyance but dared not vent it.

After a brief pause, he did not dawdle and quickly followed after Qin Mu.

Before long, Qin Mu led this Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to the location of the Three Pure Ones.

At that moment, the Three Pure Ones sat upright on the Cloud Platform, each surrounded by flowing Dao rhythms, their auras majestic and vast as the sea!

The Celestial Court Envoy saw this and felt an invisible, oppressive force weighing down on him.

Even with his Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal strength, he found the pressure immense under this imposing aura.

"Celestial Court Envoy pays respects to the Three Pure Ones, venerable seniors!"

After a moment of stunned hesitation, the Celestial Court Envoy quickly bowed and paid his respects to the Three Pure Ones.

However, what left the Celestial Court Envoy somewhat awkward was that the Three Pure Ones paid him no heed at all, maintaining an utterly indifferent attitude.

"Hmph!"

"Aren't these Three Pure Ones a bit too high and mighty?"

"After all, I am an envoy of the Celestial Court!"

The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal fumed silently, though of course, he dared not voice his anger.

After a long, silent pause, the Celestial Court Envoy quickly moistened his lips and spoke again:

"Venerable seniors of the Three Pure Ones."

"I have come to Kunlun Mountain on the orders of East King Duke, specially to pay a visit."

"A small token, unworthy of your esteem, I hope the three of you will accept it!"

With that, the Celestial Court Envoy lightly waved his hand.

Immediately, three pieces of innate spiritual treasures floated forth, hovering before the Three Pure Ones.

What surprised the Celestial Court Envoy was that...

The Three Pure Ones showed not the slightest interest in the three pieces of Innate Spiritual Essence he had presented.

Qin Mu, watching from the side, silently remarked:

"This East King Duke really is full of himself!"

"In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, what are a few mere Innate Spiritual Essences?"

"These things might spark a desperate scramble out in the world, but to the Three Pure Ones, they're no different from trash!"

Qin Mu remembered clearly that earlier, when Hongjun preached for the third time, he had bestowed supreme treasures upon the Three Pure Ones.

Later, within the Treasure Distribution Cliff, the Three Pure Ones had seized no small number of Innate Spiritual Treasures.

For East King Duke to send someone to pay respects to the Three Pure Ones, offering only three paltry pieces of Innate Spiritual Essence as gifts—this was far too stingy.

"This won't be easy!"

Qin Mu sighed quietly, having guessed the envoy's purpose, and knowing full well that this matter was bound to fail.
