Thirty-Six Heavens Evolve, the Stern Jie Sect Immortal, Gongming's Request to Battle Taiyi

Tongtian Sect Leader bestowed treasures upon Lin Zhu, leaving Lin Zhu overjoyed beyond measure.

At this moment, Tongtian Sect Leader took out another treasure.

With a wave of his hand, twenty-four pearls flew through the air and arrived before Lin Zhu.

Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls!

How could Lin Zhu fail to recognize them? These were precisely the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

He already possessed Twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls. The remaining twenty-four had been in his master's possession.

Only a complete set of Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls could unleash their full power.

Although Lin Zhu knew that the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls were in his master's hands, it was not his place to ask for them.

"You should recognize these pearls. They are the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls. You already possess twelve, while these twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls were passed to me by the Dao Ancestor after the treasures were distributed at Treasure Distribution Cliff."

"Since you possess twelve, it proves you are destined for this treasure. Together with my twenty-four, they will form a complete set of Thirty-Six Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls."

"Today, I shall bestow them all upon you."

Lin Zhu was ecstatic. He hurriedly accepted the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls and bowed in gratitude to Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Thank you, Master."

Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly and continued, "During your travels, you obtained the Innate Spiritual Roots, Bitter Bamboo. Can you give it to me? I have a great use for it."

Though Lin Zhu did not understand, since Tongtian Sect Leader had asked for it, how could he refuse?

He immediately took out the Innate Spiritual Roots, Bitter Bamboo, and handed it to Tongtian Sect Leader.

Tongtian Sect Leader said again, "You have now attained the Grand Luo Fruit Position and are the Senior Brother of Jie Sect. You must take responsibility for supervising your junior brothers and sisters in their cultivation."

"You have just obtained these divine pearls and will need time to refine them. You may withdraw for now."

Lin Zhu promptly took his leave.

Holding Bitter Bamboo, Tongtian Sect Leader stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "This boy possesses exceptional aptitude and considerable talent in the sword dao. It seems I should craft a weapon specifically for him."

As the First Disciple of Jie Sect, Lin Zhu was deeply valued by Tongtian Sect Leader.

Combined with his extraordinary aptitude and comprehension, Tongtian Sect Leader favored him even more.

Thus, Tongtian Sect Leader intended to personally forge a weapon for Lin Zhu to enhance his combat strength.

With that thought!

Tongtian Sect Leader immediately left his Daoist Temple.

Before long, the Three Saints gathered at Taishang Laojun Daoist Temple.

Taishang Laojun sat in the center, while Tongtian Sect Leader and Yuanshi Tianzun sat below him.

"Junior Brother, you invited the two of us here. Could there be some important matter?" Taishang asked.

Tongtian Sect Leader replied directly, "Lin Zhu has now attained the Grand Luo Fruit Position and achieved the body of a Ninth Grade Grand Luo. As his master, I naturally ought to find him a treasure."

"Lin Zhu possesses Innate Bitter Bamboo and has the body of Nine Section Bamboo. Therefore, I wish to use Bitter Bamboo as the foundation to refine a Long Sword."

"If it is successfully forged, he will be better able to attain the realms of Sword Heart Clear and Sword Heart Mind Unity."

"However, refining this Long Sword requires some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Thus, I have come to see whether my two senior brothers possess any suitable treasures."

After hearing this, Taishang Laojun smiled. "Lin Zhu is the First Disciple of Three Sects, so of course we will help him. If I possess what you need, Junior Brother, I will not begrudge it."

Yuanshi Tianzun likewise expressed his willingness to contribute some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The Three Saints had attained the Dao countless years ago and had collected innumerable treasures, second only to Hongjun.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun both brought out a great many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and handed them to Tongtian Sect Leader.

After considering it, Taishang Laojun said, "To Return Acquired to Innate, we will need Master's Universe Cauldron."

"How could an ordinary weapon be worthy of the outstanding aptitude of our nephew Lin Zhu?"

Tongtian Sect Leader smiled upon hearing this. "What Senior Brother says is precisely what I was thinking. I shall make a trip to Purple Cloud Palace and borrow the Universe Cauldron from Master."

"When the time comes, the three of us brothers will refine it together. We will surely be able to forge an Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun repeatedly voiced their approval.

Tongtian Sect Leader then bid farewell to his two elder brothers, left Kunlun Mountain, and headed for Purple Cloud Palace.

Lin Zhu knew nothing of this.

Having returned to his Cave Mansion, he could not wait to begin refining the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

This refinement took a full ten thousand years.

Several tens of thousands of years later.

The twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls had been fully refined. Looking at the treasure pearls floating before him, Lin Zhu's heart stirred.

"Simply refining them is not enough... They must continue to evolve!"

Lin Zhu then used the Primordial Measuring Heaven Ruler and Profound Yellow Heavy Water to evolve the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls into Primordial Heavens.

Once all Thirty-Six Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls evolved into heavens, they would surely wield even greater power.

A complete set of Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls was already among the more powerful Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures.

Once the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls had evolved into Primordial Heavens, their might would likely rival that of a Primordial Treasure.

With his previous experience, evolving the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls became much easier.

Lin Zhu continued refining and transforming them, one pearl after another.

After another twenty thousand years, he finally evolved all twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls into Primordial Heavens.

Once the evolution was complete, Lin Zhu casually shook his hand. All Thirty-Six Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls shot forth, casting ten thousand rays of divine light through the void and erupting with supreme power.

"What a formidable dharma treasure!" Even Lin Zhu could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Lin Zhu put away the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls and went to see his master.

However, he discovered that Tongtian Sect Leader was in seclusion.

"Senior Brother, Master is in seclusion. He once said that when Senior Brother emerged from seclusion, you were to take up the duty of supervising all junior brothers and sisters."

As Lin Zhu emerged from Tongtian Sect Leader's Daoist Temple, he happened to encounter Duobao Daoren.

Duobao Daoren stepped forward, bowed, and conveyed Tongtian Sect Leader's decree.

Now that Tongtian Sect Leader was in seclusion, Lin Zhu, as the Senior Brother, naturally could not shirk the responsibility of instructing his junior brothers and sisters.

Thus, he took up the duty of supervising the Jie Sect disciples.

Every Jie Sect disciple had their own Cave Mansion within Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Xiaos were sisters, so they naturally lived together.

Lin Zhu instructed Duobao Daoren to enter seclusion and cultivate. As the Second Disciple of Jie Sect, how could he retain any dignity if his cultivation fell behind others?

Duobao Daoren took the opportunity to ask several questions about cultivation, and Lin Zhu answered them one by one.

Only after receiving these answers did Duobao Daoren leave in satisfaction.

Lin Zhu inspected the many Jie Sect disciples. Seeing that they were all in seclusion, he wandered through Kunlun Mountain with nothing else to do, occasionally extending his divine sense to observe their activities.

If any of the Jie Sect disciples showed signs of slacking off, Lin Zhu would certainly rebuke them.

Of course, if any Jie Sect disciple had questions, Lin Zhu would answer them one by one as well.

In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.

Under Lin Zhu's guidance, the cultivation of these Jie Sect disciples steadily improved.

At the same time, in the eyes of these disciples, Lin Zhu became an exceptionally stern Senior Brother who never smiled.

One day!

Lin Zhu was in his Cave Mansion when a figure suddenly appeared outside.

"Is Senior Brother here?"

The visitor was none other than Zhao Gongming.

Hearing this, Lin Zhu said, "If Gongming has business with me, come in."

Only then did Zhao Gongming enter Lin Zhu's Cave Mansion. He cupped his hands and bowed. "Zhao Gongming greets Senior Brother."

Lin Zhu waved his hand. "Gongming, there is no need for formalities. You must have a reason for coming here."

Zhao Gongming then explained why he had come.

It turned out that Zhao Gongming had engaged in a Dao Debate with Grand Yi Perfected Person of Chan Sect. Their words had grown rather contentious, and they had agreed to a wagered battle a thousand years later.

Lin Zhu could not help but laugh. "So that is the matter. Did you come here because you wish to seek my guidance?"
