The Three Pure Ones Meet

At that moment, another bolt of Tribulation Lightning split down from the sky toward Tongtian. Tongtian unleashed all his Magic Power and struck back at the Tribulation Lightning!

With a deafening boom!

The Tribulation Lightning exploded in the void!

After that, no more thunder sounded, and the Tribulation Cloud gradually dispersed. This Thunder Tribulation was finally over.

"Th... third brother... y-you broke through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm?" Yuanshi stared at Tongtian in utter disbelief as he asked.

Tongtian had expended a great deal of Magic Power as well, and he looked somewhat weakened, though it did not affect him too badly. He nodded at Yuanshi.

Laozi, too, looked at Tongtian in disbelief.

Laozi and Yuanshi were still at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

A hundred years ago, Tongtian had also been at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Who would have thought that in merely a hundred years, Tongtian would break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, while his two elder brothers remained at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm...

For a moment, Yuanshi felt utterly humiliated. As Tongtian's elder brother, he had actually been surpassed by his younger brother...

Laozi looked at Tongtian, feeling somewhat uncomfortable as well, but he said nothing.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, Third Brother," Laozi said.

Tongtian smiled. "Thank you, Eldest Brother!"

Yuanshi gritted his teeth, but in the end, he too said, "Congratulations, Third Brother!"

Tongtian returned the salute. "Thank you, Second Brother."

Yuanshi looked at Tongtian again and asked, "Third Brother, where have you been these past years? Eldest Brother and I searched everywhere for you!" There was a trace of displeasure in his voice.

Mainly because Tongtian had broken through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm while Yuanshi remained at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, he felt rather dissatisfied.

Tongtian said, "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I have been traveling through the Primordial Wilderness all these years. A hundred years ago, I happened upon a mountain and saw a Mountain God Temple. When I entered the temple..."

"The mountain god in the temple asked me to offer him incense, and in the end, I did," Tongtian said.

At those words, Yuanshi's brows drew tightly together. Displeased, he said, "You are one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, yet you just casually offered incense to someone else?"

Wasn't that tarnishing the face of the Three Pure Ones?

Yuanshi was deeply dissatisfied.

Tongtian said, "That mountain god was very kind. He gave me two Great Dao Origins."

Great Dao Origins...

At those words, Yuanshi's whole body trembled, while Laozi slightly raised his eyes to look at Tongtian.

"Perhaps it was because that mountain god gave me two Great Dao Origins that I was able to break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm so quickly," Tongtian said, his tone brimming with gratitude toward that mountain god.

Tongtian was deeply grateful to that mountain god as well.

That mountain god was naturally Qin Yun.

Yet after hearing Tongtian's explanation, Yuanshi's expression did not improve. He said, "You, one of the Three Pure Ones and the true Pangu Orthodoxy, actually offered incense to some unknown mountain god..." By the end, he was gritting his teeth.

Yuanshi cared most about propriety and was also deeply concerned with appearances.

No matter what good thing that mountain god had given him, in Yuanshi's eyes, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu could not casually offer incense to others!

This was a matter of face!

Tongtian looked at Yuanshi. Seeing how unpleasant Yuanshi's expression was, he did not know what to say.

"Are those two Great Dao Origins he gave you real?" Yuanshi asked.

Perhaps they were fake. That was not impossible.

"They are real." Tongtian nodded.

They were one hundred percent real! Real beyond all doubt! Absolutely not fake!

Tongtian had already refined those two Great Dao Origins.

"Hmph!" Yuanshi snorted coldly.

Yuanshi felt that Tongtian was simply lying.

How could offering incense in some unknown, rundown little temple possibly get him two Great Dao Origins?

Even nonsense had its limits!

Even lies could not be made up like this!

Tongtian looked at Yuanshi. He felt that Yuanshi simply did not believe him at all.

But Tongtian had already told the truth. If this second brother of his refused to believe it, what could he do?

That was simply how things had happened. If Yuanshi did not want to believe it, Tongtian had no way around it...

At that moment, Laozi spoke. "Third Brother, what kind of being is that mountain god? How could he possibly give you two Great Dao Origins?"

Hearing this, Tongtian also found it strange. He could not make sense of it either.

Yuanshi snorted and said, "I think that so-called mountain god was just deceiving you!"

Tongtian said, "The Mountain God did not deceive me. The Great Dao Origins he gave me are real. I have already refined these two Great Dao Origins."

Laozi listened to the two of them, utterly unable to make sense of it.

Not only did he not understand—Tongtian himself still did not understand either.

Just who was that Mountain God?

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, how about the two of you come with me to take a look at that Mountain God Temple?" Tongtian said.

That Mountain God Temple was not far away. Tongtian had not gone far at all, merely finding a place nearby to enter seclusion.

Hearing Tongtian say this, Laozi pondered for a long while before finally nodding.

Yuanshi nodded as well and said, "Fine! Let us see just what background that Mountain God Temple has!"

Thus, the three of them came to a decision.

Then, the three headed together toward the Mountain God Temple.

Within the temple's Inner Space, Qin Yun was still there.

A hundred years had now passed, and Qin Yun had remained here for a hundred years.

Throughout those hundred years, Qin Yun had remained carefree and at ease.

From time to time, people came to the temple to offer incense, and Qin Yun occasionally gained Incense Value.

Whenever the believers who offered incense to Qin Yun improved their cultivation, enhanced their techniques, or deepened their insights, Qin Yun could also ride their coattails and reap corresponding benefits.

At times, Qin Yun would also give some things to the believers who came to the temple to offer incense. Though these believers were not Persons of Great Luck, if they came to offer incense at the temple and accumulated enough, they could also obtain certain things.

Naturally, these things were rewards from the system.

In truth, Qin Yun did not even need to hand them out personally. The believers would simply stumble upon them by accident, as though it were only natural.

For example, they might muddle-headedly obtain a treasure, or muddle-headedly acquire a cultivation technique...

Whether Qin Yun wished to give them out personally depended entirely on his mood.

The believers who came here to offer incense were all deeply grateful to this temple. They also felt that it was truly efficacious, and that the Mountain God within was truly divine.

Over all these years, the temple's incense offerings had remained plentiful.

Qin Yun's cultivation had also risen greatly. His current cultivation had reached the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm!

Hongyun had cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique to the Fourth Revolution, and Qin Yun had obtained it in sync. Now, his Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had also reached the Fourth Revolution.

Though he had not cultivated it personally, the technique had genuinely reached the Fourth Revolution.

Likewise, Qin Yun's comprehension of laws had also improved.
