The Seven Treasures Gourd Vine Appears, Great Beings Gather

"Daoist Friends, now that you've obtained the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus, do you still intend to remain in Buzhou Mountain?" Ye Jun spoke up.

Just as Taishang Laojun was about to say something, Buzhou Mountain suddenly trembled.

Then Ye Jun and the others saw a seven-colored radiance shoot into the sky, its momentum even greater than that of the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

Ye Jun's eyes narrowed, and he quickly realized—this must be the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine nearing maturity!

The Three Pure Ones also sensed the soaring light.

"With such an omen appearing, a great treasure must be emerging. Second Brother, Third Brother, let's go!" Taishang Laojun said in a deep voice.

The Three Pure Ones then transformed into three streaks of light, heading toward the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

Left alone, Ye Jun shook his head. The Seven Treasures Gourd Vine wasn't ripe yet; even if he went, he could only cultivate beneath it.

Speaking of cultivation, Ye Jun had never feared anyone!

"With the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine appearing, I'm afraid many Great Beings across the Primordial World will show up," Ye Jun muttered to himself.

Jieyin and Zhunti, those two old bald donkeys, had only just left. It seemed he'd have to run into those annoying fellows again.

Ye Jun's figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

News of the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine's imminent maturity spread like wildfire. By the time Ye Jun appeared at the summit, everyone else had already gathered.

The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, Di Jun of the Demon Race, Eastern Emperor Taiyi—quite a crowd had arrived.

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, you're here too?" A startled exclamation brought Ye Jun back to his senses.

"So it's Daoist Friend Nuwa. I had nothing pressing, so I came to take a look at Buzhou Mountain," Ye Jun replied.

Turning his head, Ye Jun saw Nuwa's pleasantly surprised expression, then noticed Jieyin and Zhunti staring at him.

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, wouldn't you happen to know that Buzhou Mountain holds a great opportunity?" Jieyin asked.

Ye Jun wore a smile as he said, "How could that be? I only just saw it myself."

How could a sly old fox like Ye Jun admit he'd deliberately tricked those two into leaving?

Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Jieyin and Zhunti snorted coldly but said no more.

The Seven Treasures Gourd Vine was right there—the treasure was what mattered!

When Spiritual Energy began to permeate the area around the vine, everyone immediately chose to sit cross-legged.

The Seven Treasures Gourd Vine wasn't yet mature, and only those who had reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm could enter Buzhou Mountain.

Everyone understood the method of Severing Three Corpses. If they could break through to the Quasi-Saint realm now, who could stop them when the vine ripened?

All seized the time to cultivate, except for Ye Jun, who wandered around looking left and right.

"Ding!"

"Sign-in task at Buzhou Mountain summit completed. Sign-in reward: God-Slaying Spear!"

The familiar system voice suddenly rang in Ye Jun's mind.

"The God-Slaying Spear—Devil Ancestor Luohou's weapon!" Ye Jun exclaimed inwardly.

This time, the Sign-in System's reward was actually the God-Slaying Spear!

Devil Ancestor Luohou had already been slain by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, working together with Great Immortal Yang Mei, Old Ancestor Qiankun, and Old Ancestor Yin Yang.

That this spear had become his reward was truly unexpected!

He then looked at the others, deeply absorbed in cultivation. Without the preaching at the Purple Cloud Palace, none would have known the Method of Becoming a Saint.

Now, with Dao Ancestor Hongjun's precedent before them, these fellows were all eager to break through to Quasi-Saint by severing their corpses!

Ye Jun decided not to waste time either. With the God-Slaying Spear in hand, this was the perfect chance to sever a corpse!

According to the normal method, cultivators started by severing the Good Corpse, then the Evil Corpse.

But with the God-Slaying Spear—an extremely baleful treasure that had once belonged to Devil Ancestor Luohou—in his grasp, it was the perfect opportunity to confront the Evil Corpse!

Ye Jun flipped his hand, and a teacup appeared. He plucked a few leaves from the Enlightenment Dao Tree and tossed them in.

Feeling something was still missing, he simply poured in the Three Lights Divine Water he'd just obtained.

A fragrance immediately wafted from the cup, and the Gods and Devils cultivating nearby felt their spirits sharpen at the scent.

"Is that Enlightenment Dao Tea?" One of the Gods and Devils opened his eyes wide, staring at the cup in Ye Jun's hand.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who had been cultivating, twitched the corner of his mouth—that Three Lights Divine Water was something he'd traded away.

"Sharp eyes!" Ye Jun laughed, then brought the cup to his lips.

After downing a cup of Enlightenment Dao Tea, Ye Jun felt the flow of the Great Dao Laws around him become noticeably clearer.

He took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and all the surrounding Great Dao Laws fell into his grasp.

The pitch-black God-Slaying Spear stood slanted in the ground beside Ye Jun, faint Dao Rhyme flowing along its shaft.

"The God-Slaying Spear!" Everyone recognized it—this was a Heavenly Baleful Treasure!

With this spiritual treasure in hand, his combat power would rise by more than one level!

Ye Jun was currently comprehending the Dao, the God-Slaying Spear simply thrust into the ground, leaving countless Gods and Devils itching with impatience.

With such a Heavenly Baleful Treasure laid out before them, it was hard not to be tempted!

The bold survive, the timid starve!

Finally, one of the Gods and Devils could no longer resist the temptation. With a flicker of his form, he appeared beside Ye Jun.

"This God-Slaying Spear is mine!" the God and Devil laughed loudly, reaching out to grab the spear.

Ye Jun, eyes shut tight, curled the corner of his mouth. He tilted his shoulder slightly, knocking the God-Slaying Spear, which the God and Devil was about to seize, into the air.

The God-Slaying Spear tumbled through the air in a few spear flowers before landing across Ye Jun's arms.

The God and Devil froze for a moment, then sneered, "You think you can keep the God-Slaying Spear while cultivating?"

He reached for the spear again. This time, Ye Jun neither dodged nor evaded. With a slight tremor of his arms, the God-Slaying Spear's tip pointed straight at the God and Devil.

Seeing this, the God and Devil abruptly withdrew his hand and retreated. The God-Slaying Spear was an exceedingly sharp spiritual treasure.

If he were stabbed by it and Sha Qi entered his body, things would become troublesome.

With Ye Jun targeted by the Gods and Devils, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and the others were pleased to see it.

This Monkey had been exceptionally arrogant lately. With someone disturbing his enlightenment this time, he surely couldn't break through smoothly.

In a short while, more Gods and Devils set their sights on the God-Slaying Spear and made their moves against Ye Jun.

Unfortunately, Ye Jun's form flickered even more swiftly. Even the many Gods and Devils found it hard to catch him.

As Ye Jun shifted and dodged, the path he left behind faintly formed a unique trajectory.

Dao Rhyme!

While comprehending the Dao, Ye Jun used the Great Dao Laws as his guide. The moment the Dao method drifted, it was the moment Ye Jun moved.

Unless someone of the same level, like the Three Pure Ones, made a move, no one could even touch the hem of his clothes now.

The many Gods and Devils were helpless against this. This Monkey was far too agile!

No one knew how much time had passed when Ye Jun pressed his hands together. A mass of Pure Qi surged from the top of his head, coalescing into a figure.
