Could it be that this Qingyi Mountain God was a peerless great power? An existence on par with Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
Thinking this, Tongtian felt as though his entire worldview was crumbling apart.
In Tongtian's eyes, Hongjun was the most powerful person in the Primordial World. There simply was no one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him...
"Alright, you've seen the God Slaying Spear. I'll put it away for now," Qin Yun said, then stored the God Slaying Spear in the System Space.
The God Slaying Spear was brimming with savage, murderous intent. It was not appropriate to leave it sitting here all the time, so it was better to put it away first.
Qin Yun had intended to give the God Slaying Spear to Tongtian, but Tongtian's cultivation was only at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, which was relatively low.
The Primordial World was exceedingly dangerous. A man was innocent, yet guilty for possessing a jade. If Tongtian possessed a killing treasure like the God Slaying Spear now, countless people would surely set their sights on him.
For now, this God Slaying Spear would be stored in the System Space.
Qin Yun's Inner Space could shield itself from the Heavenly Secrets. No one could divine what lay within—not even the Heavenly Dao.
With the God Slaying Spear stored here, it was very safe. Qin Yun was safe as well.
Of course, it would also be very safe in the System Space.
"Mountain... Mountain God..." Tongtian looked at Qin Yun. He wanted to address him, yet did not know what to call him. After thinking it over and over, he finally called him Mountain God.
Qin Yun looked at him and nodded.
Calling him Mountain God more or less showed that Tongtian had been won over by him.
"Tongtian, if you have something to say, just say it," Qin Yun said.
He raised his teacup again and took a small sip.
The tea was still wonderfully fragrant.
"Mountain God, these two Great Dao Origins you bestowed upon me..." Tongtian said.
These two Great Dao Origins were not cabbages growing by the roadside!
They were immensely precious.
"It's fine. Take them and refine them," Qin Yun said, utterly unconcerned.
As if those two Great Dao Origins were merely cabbages by the roadside.
"Mountain God, you... you really..." Tongtian found it hard to believe.
"Really. I'm not lying to you!" Qin Yun said generously.
They were only Great Dao Origins. The system had rewarded him with four of them anyway; giving two to Tongtian was no burden at all!
"Mountain God... you..." Tongtian looked at Qin Yun. At this moment, gratitude involuntarily surged into his eyes.
"Tongtian will never forget your great kindness and virtue!" Tongtian said to Qin Yun with profound gratitude.
Hearing this, Qin Yun looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Alright, I get it! Don't just stand around either. When you have time in the future, come here more often to offer incense. That will count as repaying me!"
Tongtian stared blankly at Qin Yun.
Come here more often to offer incense?
Was it really that simple?
"Mountain God, your great kindness is beyond Tongtian's ability to repay..." Tongtian said.
How could merely offering incense be enough?
These were two Great Dao Origins!
"If you know it's hard to repay, then come here and offer incense more often," Qin Yun said.
"And bring more people here to offer incense while you're at it."
"The more people, the better!"
Qin Yun thought, If you bring all the disciples of your Sect of Interception here to offer incense in the future, that would be even better!
The Sect of Interception had Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage. With so many people coming here to offer incense, the sight would surely be magnificent!
Hearing Qin Yun say this, Tongtian did not object. He repeatedly agreed, saying, "Tongtian will keep the Mountain God's words firmly in his heart!"
Whenever he had the time, he would definitely come here and offer plenty of incense!
And he would do his best to bring more people here to offer incense as well!
That was what Tongtian thought to himself.
"Tongtian, Hongjun has already become a Saint and will soon preach the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace. Will you go listen to his teachings?" Qin Yun asked.
In the original course of the Primordial World, Tongtian would naturally go listen.
Moreover, Tongtian would become Hongjun's disciple and eventually become a Heavenly Dao Saint.
When Qin Yun asked this, Tongtian did not know how to answer for a moment.
Tongtian wanted to go listen to the teachings. After all, Hongjun had become a Saint and was about to preach the Dao. To all living beings of the Primordial World, this was a heaven-sent opportunity. Who would not want to attend?
But Qin Yun had given Tongtian two Great Dao Origins. After all, one's hand was softened by taking another's gifts, and one's mouth softened by eating another's food. How could Tongtian say in front of Qin Yun that he wanted to listen to Hongjun Preaching?
"If you go listen to the teachings, you will become Hongjun's inner disciple. Hongjun will also hold you in very high regard," Qin Yun said.
At Qin Yun's words, Tongtian's eyes involuntarily narrowed.
Tongtian was only at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. He had thought that merely being able to listen to Hongjun Preaching would already be quite good. He had never imagined that he would become Hongjun's inner disciple, much less that Hongjun would hold him in such high regard...
Although Tongtian had been formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, in the Primordial World, who had not been formed from Pangu?
The entire Primordial World had been formed from Pangu!
Hongjun was an innate demon god.
"However, there is a reason Hongjun holds you in such high regard." Qin Yun abruptly changed the subject.
At Qin Yun's words, Tongtian's pupils narrowed again.
What did that mean?
There was a reason Hongjun valued him...
What reason could there be?
But then he thought again!
No one would be good to another person for no reason at all!
Tongtian and Hongjun had no relationship to speak of; they could be said to be complete strangers.
If Hongjun treated Tongtian well, it seemed he must have some purpose behind it.
"You have value to Hongjun." Qin Yun said.
Hearing this, Tongtian could understand.
If one had no value, it seemed no one would treat another person well for no reason.
"May I ask, Mountain God, what value do I... have to him?" Tongtian asked.
It was normal to have value, but what exactly was that value?
"As for that... you will naturally find out later." Qin Yun said.
Hongjun had not even begun preaching yet, and Tongtian was only at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. The Investiture of the Gods Calamity was still beyond the distant horizon; speaking of this now seemed far too early.
Tongtian looked at Qin Yun, feeling as though Qin Yun's words had left him wandering in clouds and mist.
"Tongtian, no matter what, you must strive to improve your strength." Qin Yun said.
"Only when your strength is sufficient can you better deal with things that may happen in the future." Qin Yun said.
What Qin Yun said was not wrong; it could even be called entirely correct.
However, those words also seemed somewhat like empty platitudes.
After all, everyone knew that.
Hearing Qin Yun's words, Tongtian nodded and said, "Mountain God's words, Tongtian understands."
Qin Yun nodded as well.
"Tongtian, you should return now." Qin Yun said.
"Remember to properly refine those two Great Dao Origins," Qin Yun added.
Hearing this, Tongtian looked at him and finally nodded.
"For Mountain God's great kindness, Tongtian will surely repay it generously someday!" Tongtian said. As he spoke, he gave Qin Yun a deep bow.
