The Innate Gourd Vine, the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd! Kunlun Mountain, Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage!
Seeing Qin Mu's actions, the three Green Robe Daoists all looked bewildered.
"What's going on?"
"What is he trying to do?"
Before the three could recover, Qin Mu had already walked up to the Innate Formation.
Then he slowly raised his hand and touched the flowing curtain of light around the formation.
Qin Mu had seen through the Innate Formation as soon as he activated his Eye of Shattering Delusion.
Perhaps to others, the formation was an impassable chasm.
But in Qin Mu's eyes, it no longer posed any obstacle.
"Fellow Daoist, you..."
The Green Robe Daoist was about to ask him something.
But before he could finish, a strange scene unfolded.
Qin Mu simply stepped into the Innate Formation, and his figure vanished in an instant.
"Ah?"
"This..."
Outside the formation, the three Taiyi Golden Immortals, including the Green Robe Daoist, stood frozen, their faces filled with disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
"He... he actually entered the Innate Formation?"
"He must have thoroughly grasped the patterns governing the formation to do that, right?"
The three murmured in astonishment, their shaken minds taking a long time to settle.
"We studied it for tens of thousands of years and still couldn't fully unravel this formation. He did it in just three hundred years?"
The Red Robe Daoist exclaimed, his expression full of incredulity.
"This young man must have an extraordinary background. He carries immense fortune!"
The White Robe Daoist remarked with a sigh.
Hearing this, the Green Robe Daoist sighed helplessly and picked up the thread:
"It all comes down to fate!"
"It seems this opportunity wasn't meant for any of us!"
While the three lamented, Qin Mu had already passed through the Innate Formation and entered a Small Heaven and Earth.
This Small Heaven and Earth held a world of its own.
Looking closely, he saw a gourd vine growing not far away.
"This?"
Qin Mu's heart trembled at the sight of the gourd vine.
Especially when he noticed the purple gourd hanging from it.
"Could this be the Innate Gourd Vine?"
Qin Mu cried out, his breath catching in his throat.
After steadying himself, he walked toward the vine.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that its tendrils coiled like horned dragons, with six distinct scars along their length.
It was easy to tell that gourds had once grown at those six spots, but now they were empty.
"It really is the Innate Gourd Vine!"
After studying it carefully, Qin Mu was certain.
The vine before him was one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots: the Innate Gourd Vine.
He also knew that the six missing gourds were in the hands of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Taiyi, and Hong Yun.
Taishang had obtained the Purple Gold Gourd, which held Samadhi True Fire and Mysterious Ice Cold Qi.
With Two Forms Magical Power, the two forces counteracted one another, creating a world of their own.
This gourd could absorb all things and swallow heaven and earth.
Yuanshi had obtained the Chaos Gourd, which could form Chaos within itself and possessed immense divine power.
Tongtian had obtained the Purple Yellow Gourd, which he later refined into the Water Fire Gourd.
This gourd held potent laws of water and fire.
Within it were two Water Fire Qilins, and its power was immense.
Nuwa had obtained the Purple Green Gourd to store the Monster Summoning Banner. It was also known as the Monster Summoning Gourd.
The Monster Summoning Banner was a treasure of the Demon Race.
It could summon countless demons from the Three Realms. With a single wave, all the people of the Demon Race would obey!
The gourd in Taiyi's hands was the Purple White Gourd, also known as the Immortal Slaying Gourd.
It could slay souls with incredible speed, leaving its targets no chance to defend themselves.
Hong Yun had obtained the Purple Red Gourd, which he later refined into the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Red Gourd.
It contained Red Sand of incredible power.
It could trap immortals' forms, destroy their bodies, and annihilate their souls.
Those trapped in it could not enter the Six Paths Reincarnation. It was truly wicked beyond compare!
After a brief recollection, Qin Mu came back to himself and looked at the seventh gourd hanging from the vine.
It was clear that, because it lacked its source, this seventh purple gourd could not mature.
After all, the first six gourds had drained the vine of its source.
"Too bad. I've come across one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, the Gourd Vine..."
"But everyone has already claimed the gourds that grew on it."
"All that remains is this unfinished one, still lacking its source."
Qin Mu shook his head and sighed.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Chaos Liquid!"
"Don't I have Chaos Liquid?"
Earlier, Qin Mu had combined three Medium Red Packets. He had opened one of them and obtained Chaos Liquid.
This Chaos Liquid could restore withered Innate Spiritual Roots and replenish their source.
At the time, Qin Mu had thought it was useless and that he had wasted a Medium Red Packet.
But now, the Innate Gourd Vine had run out of source, leaving its seventh gourd unable to mature.
The Chaos Liquid was just what he needed.
"Haha!"
"What are the odds?"
"Heaven is helping me!"
Overjoyed, Qin Mu focused his mind and drew out the Chaos Liquid.
Then he dripped it onto the gourd vine.
In an instant, the entire vine erupted in dazzling purple light.
Its withered tendrils came back to life before his eyes.
The seventh purple gourd hanging from the vine greedily absorbed the source carried by the Chaos Liquid. Profound Chaos Dao Patterns appeared across its surface.
Boom!
Before long, the purple light faded.
When Qin Mu looked again, a treasure gourd, purple gold from end to end and wreathed in Chaos aura, dropped from the vine.
How could Qin Mu hesitate? He immediately drew the gourd into his hand.
The instant it touched his palm, Qin Mu felt his spiritual sense tremble.
Looking again, he saw a line of characters slowly appear on the gourd: "Chaos Purple Gold Gourd!"
"Wonderful!"
"What a treasure!"
"It's reached the level of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. It contains Chaos Sha Qi, can swallow enemies whole, and can also return Chaos Yuan Qi."
Qin Mu spoke excitedly, unable to put the gourd down as he turned it over in his hands.
Still thrilled, Qin Mu sat cross-legged at once. The phantom of his Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass form appeared behind him.
As its thirty-six Sword Leaves revolved, they enclosed the Chaos Purple Gold Gourd, and he began refining it.
Time passed.
Before he knew it, more than two thousand years had gone by.
Meanwhile.
At Kunlun Mountain.
The area beyond the foot of the mountain was bustling with activity.
Countless living beings had gathered, all waiting for the Three Pure Ones to open their gates and take in disciples.
Earlier, Tongtian and Yuanshi had announced throughout the Primordial Wilderness that they would accept disciples, sending the entire Primordial World into an uproar.
The various races sent their most talented young members, hoping to seize this great opportunity and join the Three Pure Ones' sect.
The Demon Race Heavenly Court had sent many of its talented young demons.
The Immortal Court of East King Duke was not to be outdone, selecting a large number of outstanding young people to come to Kunlun Mountain.
Besides them, many rogue immortals had come to try their luck. Perhaps fate would smile upon them, and the Three Pure Ones would accept them as disciples.
Among those who had come to seek discipleship were quite a few Great Principle Golden Immortals.
There were even two Quasi-Saint powerhouses.
They had come for the same reason: to join the Three Pure Ones' sect.
Though they had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm, so what?
After all, the Three Pure Ones had been personally appointed Saints by Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Becoming a Saint's disciple was nothing to be ashamed of!
