Merit Supreme Treasures Protect! All the Great Gods of the Primordial World Gather at Zixiao Palace!
Soon, under the guidance of the Three Pure Ones, Qin Mu entered the Chaos Void.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
The moment they entered, endless fierce winds howled and raged, while Space-Time Turbulence cut like blades against their faces.
Within this Chaos Void, there was no distinction between heaven and earth, nor any Sun, Moon, and Stars.
Only surging, restless Chaos Qi filled the space.
Even for a Quasi-Saint, moving through the Chaos Space required extreme caution.
If one were to be swept into the turbulence, the only outcome would be death and annihilation.
Qin Mu's heart tightened as he keenly felt a suffocating pressure.
At that moment, the Three Pure Ones had already activated their protective divine power, and Daoist Tongtian's energy enveloped Qin Mu.
Qin Mu breathed a silent sigh of relief.
He mused that although he was a top-tier Innate Sacred Being, having attained Golden Immortal cultivation upon his transformation, if he were alone in such a Chaos Space-Time, he likely wouldn't survive long.
"No wonder the beings who could travel to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao were basically all the Great Experts of the Primordial World."
"Just reaching Zixiao Palace alone is no easy feat."
Qin Mu murmured to himself.
"Watch out!"
Just then, Taishang exclaimed in alarm, as a violent blast of Chaos Wind surged toward them head-on.
Seeing this, Qin Mu's pupils contracted.
He could sense the ferocity of that wind—even a Golden Immortal caught in it would be torn to shreds in an instant.
Fortunately, with the Three Pure Ones protecting him, Qin Mu didn't need to worry too much.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Taishang swept his wide sleeve, and a stream of Mysterious Yellow Qi shot up into the sky from within.
The Mysterious Yellow Qi grew as it met the wind.
When they looked again, golden light scattered, and a nine-story pagoda hovered above their heads.
This pagoda was entirely of a Mysterious Yellow hue, radiant and shimmering, with merit tassels hanging from the eaves of its tiers.
It was the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure—the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
As soon as the pagoda appeared, countless strands of Mysterious Yellow Qi cascaded down, enveloping Qin Mu and the other three.
Qin Mu breathed another sigh of relief, feeling the pressure that had weighed on him suddenly lighten.
At the same time, the oncoming Chaos Wind slammed straight into the Mysterious Yellow Qi of the pagoda.
Then, the Chaos Wind merely created faint ripples on the Mysterious Yellow Qi before being deflected in another direction.
"Qin Mu."
"This pagoda is your Senior Uncle-Master's companion treasure, called the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!"
"With this pagoda protecting us, we can safely reach Zixiao Palace."
Daoist Tongtian glanced sideways at Qin Mu beside him.
Qin Mu nodded. Even without Tongtian's explanation, he already knew it was the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
This pagoda was formed after the opening of heaven, condensed from the merit of creation and Mysterious Yellow Qi.
It was the First Postnatal Defensive Treasure.
It was said that standing beneath it rendered one invincible from the start.
"I wonder, between the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Chaos Bell, which is stronger?"
Suddenly, a doubt arose in Qin Mu's mind.
The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure.
The Chaos Bell, on the other hand, was an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Both were infinitely profound and endlessly miraculous.
The Chaos Bell could freeze time and suppress space.
It could even deflect any divine weapon's attack and ignore all damage from spells and techniques.
In short, the Chaos Bell combined offense and defense in one.
After a moment of thought, Qin Mu snapped back to reality.
Next, under the protection of the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the four of them swiftly traversed the Chaos Space.
Before long, a palace came into view before Qin Mu and the others.
Looking closely, the palace was cast entirely from Purple Gold.
On the plaque outside the palace, three large characters were engraved—"Zixiao Palace"—each stroke inscribed with Dao Patterns, every line seeming to contain the ultimate principles of the Great Dao.
"We've arrived."
Taishang said calmly, lightly waving his hand. The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda that had been suspended above their heads was withdrawn by him.
Then, Qin Mu and the other three descended, arriving outside Zixiao Palace.
Just as the four were about to enter, two figures suddenly flashed into view outside the Palace Gate.
These two, one male and one female, were dressed as child attendants.
The boy wore a Star Robe, with a golden seal between his brows that shimmered brightly.
The girl had her hair tied in a Flying Immortal Bun, with a Colored Sash tied around her waist, extremely eye-catching.
Dao resonance flowed from both of them.
Seeing the Three Pure Ones, the two child attendants quickly bowed in greeting, speaking in unison:
"Greetings, three senior brothers!"
Tongtian and the other two nodded slightly, not unfamiliar with these two child attendants.
Then, without any delay, the two child attendants led Qin Mu and the four others toward the interior of Zixiao Palace.
During this time, the two child attendants would occasionally steal glances at Qin Mu, both harboring doubts in their hearts.
The previous two times Hongjun had lectured, the Three Pure Ones had also gone to Zixiao Palace together.
Now that Hongjun was giving his third lecture, the Three Pure Ones actually had an extra person by their side.
Qin Mu naturally noticed the stolen glances from the two child attendants and muttered quietly to himself:
"These two child attendants should be Haotian and Yaochi!"
Though it was their first meeting, Qin Mu recognized the identities of the two child attendants at a glance.
Just then, Yaochi's beautiful eyes turned, looking toward Qin Mu, and she asked with curiosity:
"This Daoist friend is?"
Qin Mu snapped back to attention and, without hiding anything, replied:
"I am Qin Mu! Senior Brother Tongtian's foremost disciple."
"Greetings, Yaochi and Haotian Daoist friends!"
As he spoke, Qin Mu bowed respectfully to Yaochi and Haotian.
Hearing what Qin Mu said, Yaochi and Haotian were both astonished.
Neither had expected that Qin Mu was actually a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, and moreover, Tongtian's first disciple.
After all, the Three Pure Ones were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.
Countless beings across the entire Primordial Land longed to be accepted as disciples.
Yet Qin Mu had become the foremost disciple of the Three Pure Ones.
"So you are Senior Brother Tongtian's distinguished disciple. My respects, my respects!"
After a brief silence, Haotian quickly returned the bow to Qin Mu, his demeanor noticeably warmer than before.
In his view, since Qin Mu was a disciple of the Three Pure Ones and had been brought to Zixiao Palace to hear the lecture, his origins must be extraordinary.
Building a good relationship with Qin Mu would surely bring many benefits in the future.
Next, under the guidance of Haotian and Yaochi, Qin Mu and the Three Pure Ones soon arrived at the lecture hall.
Seats were arranged in orderly rows.
At the very front were six cattail mats, each imbued with natural Dao resonance.
The Three Pure Ones stepped forward and each took a seat on one of the cattail mats.
"Qin Mu, choose a seat in the back and sit down."
Tongtian glanced at Qin Mu and said.
"Yes, teacher!"
Qin Mu acknowledged, then sat down in a nearby seat at the back.
He understood in his heart that the six cattail mats at the front were already assigned.
The Three Pure Ones occupied three of them, Nuwa took one, and the remaining two belonged to the Western Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti.
Soon, other Great Experts arrived one after another.
After all, this was the third lecture by the Heavenly Saint Hongjun, and all the great gods flocked to it eagerly.
Nuwa arrived together with Fuxi.
After approaching and exchanging greetings with the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa sat down on one of the front cattail mats, while Fuxi took a seat behind her.
Next, the Western Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti arrived together, golden light shining above their heads and lotuses blooming beneath their feet with every step.
After that, Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, Hongyun... all the great gods of the Primordial Land arrived one after another.
