Primordial Unity Golden Immortal! Awakening Innate Divine Ability, Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

Just then, Taishang slowly asked:

"What brings you here?"

As he spoke these words, Taishang did not even lift his eyelids.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Court Envoy did not dawdle and quickly stated his purpose:

"By order of the East King Duke, I have come specially to invite the three seniors to join the Celestial Court!"

"If the three seniors are willing to enter the Celestial Court, you shall be treated as Ancestral Immortals, with a status second only to the East King Duke."

As these words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly grew tense.

Qin Mu stood to the side, and after hearing what the Celestial Court Envoy had said, he felt a urge to laugh.

"This East King Duke is truly arrogant!"

"Inviting the Three Pure Ones to join the Celestial Court? And he doesn't even come in person, sending just a minor Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to deliver the message?"

"Does he really think that being named Head of Male Immortals by Hongjun puts him on equal footing with the Three Pure Ones?"

Qin Mu sighed inwardly.

After all, the Three Pure Ones were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, with profound cultivation.

Earlier, Dijun of the Demon Race had also thought of inviting the Three Pure Ones to join the Demon camp.

But the Three Pure Ones had refused.

Back then, Dijun and Taiyi had personally come to welcome the Three Pure Ones to the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.

But the East King Duke, on the other hand.

He only sent a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to deliver the message, and the greeting gift he offered was merely three Primordial Spiritual Objects.

He even bluntly stated that if the Three Pure Ones joined the Celestial Court, their status would be beneath the East King Duke.

In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, they simply did not take the East King Duke seriously.

As for being the Head of Male Immortals, they scoffed at it.

If not for the decree issued by Hongjun, ordering him to act on Heaven's behalf and govern the Primordial World, they would not have given the East King Duke any face at all.

In terms of origin, the East King Duke was merely the first wisp of yang energy transformed from the primordial chaos—how could he compare to them, Pangu's Orthodox Lineage?

Just as Qin Mu had thought.

No sooner had the Celestial Court Envoy finished speaking than Tongtian's face darkened, and he could not help but roar:

"Get out!"

With his shout, Tongtian waved his sleeve, and an invisible surge of vast magical power erupted.

"Boom! Crash!"

Before the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could even react to what was happening, he was sent flying, crashing heavily outside Kunlun Mountain.

After sending the Celestial Court Envoy flying, Tongtian turned his gaze to Taishang:

"Elder Brother, isn't this East King Duke far too arrogant?"

"Does he truly think himself the Head of Male Immortals, free to command the Primordial World at will?"

Taishang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking as if lost in thought.

After pondering for a moment, he finally replied:

"It's fine!"

"His fate is nearly at an end."

With that, the Three Pure Ones did not speak further on the matter and resumed their discussion of the Dao.

Although Taishang said little, Qin Mu, standing nearby, understood.

The "fate" Taishang spoke of was the East King Duke's death tribulation.

Meanwhile, outside Kunlun Mountain, the Celestial Court Envoy crashed heavily to the ground.

After getting up, he saw that the Mountain-Protecting Array of Kunlun Mountain had already closed.

"Hmph!"

The Celestial Court Envoy let out a cold snort, never expecting that after traveling a thousand miles, he would be treated so by the Three Pure Ones.

Of course, he dared to be angry but not to speak.

In his fury, he transformed into a streak of light and departed into the distance.

The Eastern Sea, Purple Mansion Continent.

This place was where the East King Duke had transformed into his human form.

That was why the East King Duke had chosen to establish the foundation of the Celestial Court on Purple Mansion Continent.

Using the Celestial Court's fortune to suppress and stabilize his dragon-rise land.

At the center of Purple Mansion Continent, the East King Duke had expended great magical power and resources to build a luxurious palace.

Looking out, the palace wound and stretched, shrouded in mist and clouds, with carved beams and painted rafters.

It appeared exceedingly lavish and magnificent.

At that moment, inside the Celestial Court's grand hall, Immortal Maidens danced and celestial music drifted through the air.

On the main seat, a man was leisurely enjoying himself.

The man had a handsome face, white hair, and jade-like skin.

He was none other than the Head of Male Immortals, the Lord of the Celestial Court—the East King Duke!

Suddenly, a beam of golden light fell outside the hall.

When he looked again, he saw the Celestial Court Envoy stumbling and crawling as he rushed into the grand hall.

At the sight, the music and dance in the hall came to a halt.

"Hm?"

The East King Duke's brow furrowed as he stared straight at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal:

"What's going on?"

"Didn't I send you to Kunlun Mountain to invite the Three Pure Ones?"

Hearing this, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal put on a mournful face and recounted everything that had happened on Kunlun Mountain.

"What?"

After listening to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal's account, the East King Duke flew into a rage and slammed his palm down, shattering the jade table before him.

"How infuriating!"

"Do the Three Pure Ones truly have no regard for This Emperor?"

The East King Duke's face flushed red with anger.

In his eyes, he was the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by Ancestor Hongjun, commanding all the immortals of the primordial wilderness.

How dare the Three Pure Ones treat him with such contempt?

They had slapped away the envoy he sent with a single blow.

Wasn't that a blatant slap to his face?

But anger aside, the East King Duke ultimately forced himself to hold back.

After all, the Three Pure Ones were immensely powerful, and he couldn't defeat them!

Moreover, in the future, the three would become Saints.

That made them even less someone he could afford to offend.

Time slipped away quietly.

Before he knew it, several thousand more years had passed.

Kunlun Mountain.

Clouds and mist swirled, and Rosy Cloud radiance stretched for miles.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from within a cave dwelling.

Before long, a figure slowly emerged from that cave.

This person was none other than Qin Mu.

After listening to the Three Pure Ones' discourse on the Dao earlier, he had returned to his cave dwelling to cultivate in seclusion.

Over several thousand years, with the aid of pills, his cultivation had broken through to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level.

At this moment, Qin Mu's eyes seemed to hold revolving stars and rivers, and his aura was vast and deep as an abyss.

"I've finally broken through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!"

Qin Mu let out a long breath, feeling the surging magical power within his body, overjoyed.

Over these thousands of years, he had not only refined more of the Fire Spirit Pearl's restrictions but also, with the help of pills, smoothly broken through the bottleneck and advanced to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

What delighted him even more was that, with so many years of cultivation, his Exclusive Great Dao Level Cultivation Method had finally reached the first layer.

Within his body, a Sword Leaf had already solidified, no longer appearing as illusory as before.

Just as Qin Mu was marveling at this, a system prompt echoed in his mind:

[Ding!]

[Detected: Host's Exclusive Great Dao Level Cultivation Method has cultivated the first layer.]

[Awakened innate divine ability—Heaven-Defying Comprehension!]

"Hm?"

Qin Mu was startled, a flicker of light passing through his eyes.

"Condensing a single Sword Leaf awakened an innate divine ability, Heaven-Defying Comprehension?"

"That means, with Heaven-Defying Comprehension's boost, I can comprehend any cultivation method, divine ability, or Great Dao Law without any hindrance?"

"Doesn't this imply that my comprehension has reached the pinnacle level of the Primordial Wilderness?"

Qin Mu was deeply shocked.

He hadn't expected that merely condensing one Sword Leaf would grant him such an outrageous divine ability.

"Now that my cultivation has achieved success."

"And I have Heaven-Defying Comprehension to support me."

"It's also time to go out and gain some experience."

Qin Mu muttered to himself, a hint of resolve flashing in his eyes. With that, he stretched out his body and flew swiftly toward Tongtian's cave dwelling.

Before long, Qin Mu arrived at Tongtian's location.

At that moment, Tongtian was seated cross-legged on the Cloud Platform, his entire being shrouded in swirling Dao resonance.

Seeing Qin Mu step into the hall, a trace of satisfaction flickered in his eyes.

"Not bad. You've already become a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. At least you haven't disgraced your master's reputation."

Tongtian said with a smile, seeing at a glance that Qin Mu had broken through from Golden Immortal to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level.

Qin Mu bowed respectfully to Tongtian and said:

"Master, your disciple wishes to descend the mountain and travel for a while."
