Tongtian Offers Incense

If not, then it had nothing to do with Qin Yun, and he would not be able to share in the benefits meant for the parties involved.

At this, Tongtian could not help but frown.

Who was Tongtian? One of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. With such an absurdly exalted origin, how could he possibly offer incense to someone else?

If word got out, where would that leave the Three Pure Ones' dignity?

"Fellow Daoist, offer incense to me, and I certainly will not treat you poorly," Qin Yun said.

Hearing this, Tongtian still frowned.

Was Tongtian the sort of person who would offer incense to someone just because they dangled a few benefits before him?

Besides, whether the benefits others offered even counted as benefits to Tongtian was still open to question.

Tongtian was one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu. The benefits others offered might not even compare to a single hair on his head!

What benefits could this tiny Mountain God Temple possibly offer?

"Fellow Daoist, offer incense to me, and whatever you wish to know, I can tell you," Qin Yun said.

"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to know the whereabouts of the God Slaying Spear?" Qin Yun added.

The God Slaying Spear...

The God Slaying Spear was a Primordial Killing Treasure formed from the lotus stem of the Chaos Green Lotus combined with the vicious Baleful Intent between Heaven and Earth!

This treasure had once been the magic weapon of Demon Ancestor Luohu. A peerless weapon of slaughter, it could injure a Saint's Primordial Spirit and was one of the rare weapons in the Primordial Wilderness capable of dealing with Saints.

Ever since Demon Ancestor Luohu's fall, this killing treasure's whereabouts had remained unknown.

The moment Qin Yun mentioned the God Slaying Spear, Tongtian's entire body trembled.

The God Slaying Spear—a treasure of slaughter. Who in the world would not want it?

Even the Three Pure Ones of Pangu desperately wanted to obtain it!

"Y-you know the whereabouts of the God Slaying Spear?" Tongtian asked in disbelief.

Qin Yun waved a hand, thinking, I don't know either... But offer incense to me first, then we'll talk.

Yesterday, Hongyun had offered incense to Qin Yun, and the system had rewarded him with something so good.

If Tongtian offered incense, the system should reward him with something good as well.

Even if those good things were not the God Slaying Spear, they probably would not be much worse than it.

So, offering incense was not a loss!

Qin Yun said, "Offer incense to me first."

Offer incense first, then talk.

"Y-you're deceiving me, aren't you?" Tongtian said.

How could the whereabouts of the God Slaying Spear be so easily known?

In the Primordial Wilderness, countless people had been searching for its whereabouts. Yet after all this time, no one had found it—not even a single hair.

Tongtian had been searching for the God Slaying Spear as well, but he had found nothing.

"Whether I'm deceiving you or not, you'll naturally know after you offer incense to me," Qin Yun said.

Hearing Qin Yun say this, Tongtian snorted coldly. "Who exactly are you? Why must you insist that I offer incense to you?"

What benefits would there be in offering incense to him, and what drawbacks?

Qin Yun smiled. "Don't worry. If you offer incense to me, there will definitely be benefits. I absolutely will not treat you poorly."

Tongtian's face remained cold as he once again prepared to leave.

"Fellow Daoist, it's only offering a stick of incense! It won't cost you a piece of flesh," Qin Yun said.

Tongtian ignored him.

Qin Yun continued, "I truly know the whereabouts of the God Slaying Spear. And I also know the course of your future fate."

"Don't you want to know the course of your future fate?" Qin Yun asked.

At those words, Tongtian involuntarily halted.

"Fellow Daoist, your future fate is somewhat tragic. If you are willing to offer incense to me, I can give you a little guidance and help you take fewer detours in the future," Qin Yun said.

"Fellow Daoist, taking fewer detours is precious advice for anyone!" Qin Yun added.

Listening to Qin Yun's words, Tongtian thought it over again and again. In the end, as though reluctantly agreeing, he said, "Very well. Then I shall offer you a stick of incense for the time being."

Qin Yun smiled and nodded. "Good!"

Tongtian walked back, took out a stick of incense from the side, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.

It was an exceedingly simple offering of incense, without the slightest ceremony.

Still, he had offered incense, and he now counted as one of Qin Yun's believers.

Qin Yun waved his sleeve and pulled Tongtian into the Inner Space.

Tongtian vanished from the temple in an instant and arrived within the Inner Space.

Tongtian could not help frowning again and again. He truly could not make sense of the scene before him.

He was, after all, a powerhouse in his own right. Though his current realm was merely at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, in today's Primordial World, he was still a mighty figure.

Yet with such formidable strength, in this inconspicuous Mountain God Temple, he had been forcibly pulled away by some power without even noticing it. He could neither detect it nor resist it. This... was simply too shocking!

It sent chills down his spine!

Tongtian looked around and saw a young man standing beside him.

The young man wore a light blue robe. His features were handsome, and a faint smile rested on his face.

"You..." Tongtian looked at the man and managed only that single word.

Qin Yun looked at Tongtian and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I am the Qingyi Mountain God."

"You... you know who I am?" Tongtian asked in great confusion.

Earlier, Qin Yun had accurately called out Tongtian's name.

Tongtian had not mentioned his name after entering the temple. Moreover, during his travels, when he came to this mountain, no one had known him, nor had anyone recognized him.

Qin Yun nodded. His face bore an air of calm unconcern, making him inexplicably seem like some reclusive master beyond the mortal world.

"You..." Tongtian looked at Qin Yun again and uttered that single word once more.

The fact that Qin Yun had silently pulled Tongtian here without his notice was enough to prove that Qin Yun possessed some means.

Perhaps Qin Yun's strength even far surpassed Tongtian's.

For the moment, Tongtian did not dare act rashly.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, let us go over there and sit while we speak," Qin Yun said, pointing to one side.

There was a large tree nearby. Beneath it stood a stone table, with stone stools placed around it.

"You... who exactly are you?" Tongtian asked, his eyes fixed warily on Qin Yun.

"I am the mountain god worshipped in this temple, the Qingyi Mountain God," Qin Yun said.

Tongtian looked at Qin Yun. He seemed like a mountain god, yet somehow did not seem like one.

This was the Primordial World, where innate deities were everywhere, and Tongtian himself was one.

Tongtian had been formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit; his foundations ran exceedingly deep.

How could a minor mountain god from some unknown great mountain possess such powerful methods?

"Your... your cultivation realm..." Tongtian looked at Qin Yun, wanting to see through his cultivation.

Yet no matter how Tongtian examined him, he could not discern Qin Yun's cultivation.

Here, no one could see through Qin Yun's true nature.

On the surface, Qin Yun appeared to be an extraordinarily formidable existence, because no matter how one looked, one could not see through him.
