Three Great Powerhouses under the Three Purities Gather, Jie Sect Disciples Pay Homage to Jie Sect Chief Disciple!

Three Great Powerhouses under the Three Purities Gather, Jie Sect Disciples Pay Homage to Jie Sect Chief Disciple!

Lin Zhu bid Guang Chengzi farewell and headed toward the Tongtian Dao Field.

The Chan Sect disciples immediately gathered around Guang Chengzi.

"Senior Brother, who was that? Why were you so respectful toward him?" one of them asked.

Guang Chengzi said, "He is Uncle-Master Tongtian's disciple and entered the sect before me, so I call him Senior Brother."

"So he is a Jie Sect disciple, not one of our Chan Sect. That man was exceedingly arrogant just now."

"If Senior Brother had not stopped us, we would certainly have taken the edge off his arrogance," Ju Liusun said.

Guang Chengzi looked at Ju Liusun and said coldly, "Even if you joined forces, you might not be a match for Senior Brother Lin Zhu. Fighting him would only bring humiliation upon yourselves."

Seeing that the disciples were still unconvinced, Guang Chengzi continued, "Senior Brother Lin Zhu not only possesses extraordinary comprehension, but his cultivation is also profoundly deep. Before leaving Mount Kunlun, he had already become a Grand Yi Golden Immortal!"

"Moreover, his magic treasures are extremely powerful. Had I not arrived, I fear you would have been dealt with by him instead, disgracing our Chan Sect."

Though the Chan Sect disciples found it somewhat hard to believe, they said nothing further.

"Continue cultivating. I must go prepare a welcoming feast for Senior Brother." With that, Guang Chengzi vanished.

The Eleven Immortals of Chan Sect exchanged glances after Guang Chengzi left, then ceased speaking and resumed their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhu arrived at the Tongtian Dao Field.

Tongtian Sect Leader had long sensed Lin Zhu's return. The moment Lin Zhu reached the entrance, his voice rang out. "Come in."

Lin Zhu stepped inside and saw Tongtian Sect Leader sitting cross-legged upon a Lotus Throne. He hurried forward and bowed. "This disciple greets Master."

Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Lin Zhu and nodded slightly. "You must have gained greatly from this journey. Your cultivation has not fallen behind either—you have actually reached the Primordial Unity Peak. You have truly not disappointed your master."

Lin Zhu said, "Thanks to Master's blessings, this disciple encountered several opportunities during this journey, allowing my cultivation to advance greatly."

"Mm!"

Tongtian Sect Leader nodded in satisfaction. "While searching for disciples, I found several promising seedlings and accepted them into the Jie Sect."

"Now that you have returned from your travels, it is time for you to meet your junior brothers and sisters."

After saying this, Tongtian Sect Leader called out loudly, "All Jie Sect disciples, heed my command. Come swiftly to your master's Dao Field."

His voice rolled outward, a Saint's voice transmission.

Sure enough, before long, one man and three women entered the Dao Field.

The man was handsome, with three wisps of long beard and a celestial demeanor and Daoist bones. The three women were all blessed with peerless beauty.

One wore purple robes, another a pale yellow gauze skirt, and the last a light green long dress. Their hair was coiled into buns, and each bore an exceptional grace.

The four entered the Dao Field and stepped forward to bow to Tongtian Sect Leader. "Disciple Zhao Gongming greets Master!"

"Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao greet Master!"

The moment the four entered the Dao Field, Lin Zhu had already guessed their identities, so he was not surprised.

Tongtian Sect Leader said, "Your Senior Brother has returned from his travels, so I summoned you to meet him."

"Lin Zhu is the Senior Brother of our Jie Sect and this seat's Senior Disciple!"

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos had long known that the Jie Sect had a Senior Disciple.

Seeing Lin Zhu standing beside Tongtian Sect Leader, they hurried forward and bowed. "We greet Senior Brother."

Lin Zhu nodded slightly. "No need for such formality."

At that moment, another ten people entered together.

At their head was a middle-aged Daoist wearing a high crown, followed by nine cultivators—six men and three women.

"Disciples greet Master." The group stepped forward and bowed to Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Duobao, Jinling, come greet your Senior Brother."

The group looked at Lin Zhu and immediately understood that the man beside Tongtian Sect Leader was Lin Zhu, the Senior Brother of the Jie Sect.

"We greet Senior Brother!" The disciples all came forward to pay their respects.

Lin Zhu smiled. "Since you have come to greet me, I cannot be too stingy. I shall give you gifts."

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a Divine Power.

Pine needles flew in from outside the Dao Field and landed in everyone's hands.

They were the needles of the Five-Needle Pine.

After countless years of growth, the Five-Needle Pine was nearly mature.

As one of the ten Innate Spiritual Roots, each of its needles was like a sharp sword, capable of piercing anything. They were rare treasures.

Lin Zhu gave these pine needles to the disciples as meeting gifts.

Zhao Gongming, Duobao, and the others thanked Lin Zhu once more.

Tongtian Sect Leader was greatly pleased by this scene. "The Jie Sect now has fifteen disciples. Lin Zhu is the eldest and also possesses the highest cultivation."

"His understanding of cultivation runs deep. If you encounter doubts in your cultivation and your master is absent, you may seek guidance from your Senior Brother."

"Yes!" The disciples hurriedly acknowledged.

"Lin Zhu, as the Senior Brother, you bear the responsibility of guiding your junior brothers and sisters."

"I hope that the disciples of the Jie Sect will look out for and help one another, as close as family. Only by standing united can the Jie Sect grow stronger."

"Yes, this disciple understands."

Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly and waved his hand. "You may all leave. From now on, devote yourselves to cultivation. Improving your cultivation is the proper path."

Only then did the disciples take their leave.

Lin Zhu bade his master farewell and returned to his Cave Mansion.

After returning from this journey, the Cave Mansion had not changed much.

Lin Zhu inspected the area outside the Cave Mansion before returning inside.

Just then, Guang Chengzi's voice came from outside. "Is Senior Brother Lin Zhu present?"

Seeing that Guang Chengzi had come looking for him, Lin Zhu immediately left the Cave Mansion.

"Greetings, Senior Brother." Guang Chengzi stepped forward and bowed. "Senior Brother has returned from his travels, so this younger brother naturally must hold a welcoming feast to cleanse you of travel dust. Everything has already been arranged; we are only waiting for Senior Brother to arrive."

Guang Chengzi's enthusiasm did not surprise Lin Zhu, so he asked, "Is Xuan Du here?"

Guang Chengzi said, "Senior Brother Xuan Du is refining pills. If he learns that you have returned, he may well abandon his pill furnace to come greet you. Come, let us find Xuan Du."

"Good!"

Thus, Lin Zhu and Guang Chengzi headed for Xuan Du's Cave.

As it happened, Xuan Du had just finished refining pills. Upon hearing that Lin Zhu had returned, he hurried outside to welcome him.

"Senior Brother, you truly returned! With you absent from Kunlun, these days have been unbearably dull for this junior brother!" Xuan Du said hurriedly upon seeing Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu smiled. "You flatter me. How could I possess such charm?"

Guang Chengzi said, "This is not a place for conversation. I have prepared fine wine, Spiritual Fruit, and Spirit Tea on Kunlun Mountain. How about we eat and talk?"

Lin Zhu and Guang Chengzi both readily agreed.

Soon afterward, the three arrived atop a cliff.

Guang Chengzi had flattened the cliff and placed a stone table and stone chairs upon it. As expected, the table was laden with fine wine, Spiritual Fruit, and spiritual flowers.

It seemed Guang Chengzi had put considerable thought into it.

Guang Chengzi invited Xuan Du and Lin Zhu to sit, then sat down himself and personally poured the wine.

After the three had drained two cups, they finally began to talk.

"Senior Brother's travels must have brought one extraordinary encounter after another, with tremendous gains, yes?" Xuan Du was extremely curious about Lin Zhu's journey.

Lin Zhu smiled. "Naturally."

"Could Senior Brother tell us about your experiences during this journey?" Xuan Du asked.

With a faint smile, Lin Zhu began recounting the interesting events from his years of travel.

Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi listened with immense envy.
