"Big Brother!"

Accompanied by several crisp, pleasant calls.

Three streaks of light shot out from the depths of the cave dwelling.

They transformed into three peerless female immortals—none other than Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.

Although Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos were not blood-related, but sworn siblings.

Over billions of years listening to the Dao under Sect Master Tongtian's tutelage.

Their bond had long surpassed that of flesh and blood.

Yunxiao wore plain white robes, her demeanor gentle and dignified.

Her beautiful eyes swept over and landed on Zhao Gongming, immediately revealing a hint of surprise.

"Big Brother, you... you've broken through?"

Qiongxiao and Bixiao, hearing this, quickly released their divine sense to probe.

They saw that Zhao Gongming's aura was perfectly harmonious; though the Three Flowers atop his head were concealed.

That Golden Immortal Dao Charm, transcending the Five Elements and leaping beyond the river of time, could not be faked.

"It really is the Golden Immortal Realm!"

Qiongxiao blinked her big eyes, her face full of admiration.

"Big Brother, you're too amazing. Weren't you stuck at a bottleneck just a few days ago?"

"How did you attain the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit so quickly?"

Bixiao, even more excited, circled Zhao Gongming once, chattering noisily.

"Awesome, Big Brother's become a Golden Immortal."

"Let's see those arrogant Chan Sect bastards dare to look down on our Jie Sect's Outer Sect now!"

Zhao Gongming looked at his three sworn sisters' sincere smiles.

A warmth filled his heart, and he smiled, waving his hand.

"It was just a sudden insight, a fortunate breakthrough."

"Coming here today, besides checking on you all."

"The main thing is that Big Brother has just refined a magic treasure."

"I felt it was quite suitable... well, suitable for Bixiao, so I specially brought it for you to see."

With that, Zhao Gongming flipped his palm.

The ancient-styled 100% Disarm Holy Sword appeared in his hand.

"A magic treasure?"

The Three Xiaos crowded forward to examine it.

Yunxiao frowned slightly, a bit puzzled.

"Big Brother, this sword... though it has spiritual light."

"It seems to be only a Houtian Spirit Treasure?"

"And its aura is utterly ordinary. What's so divine about it?"

Zhao Gongming smiled mysteriously.

"Big Sister, you wouldn't know this."

"This treasure is called the 100% Disarm Holy Sword, a Conceptual Level Magic Treasure."

"Conceptual Level?" The Three Xiaos exchanged glances, clearly hearing the term for the first time.

Zhao Gongming cleared his throat and began his pitch.

"So-called Conceptual Level means ignoring defense, ignoring evasion."

"As long as you swing this sword, no matter what armor the opponent wears."

"Or what escape art they use, as long as their realm isn't too far above yours."

"They must instantly kneel before you, hands clasped together to catch your blade!"

"What?!"

The Three Xiaos cried out in unison.

Forced to kneel and catch the sword?

This was an overbearing divine ability unheard of!

Bixiao's eyes instantly lit up like twin stars, her breathing quickening.

"Big Brother, you mean if I use this sword against that Cihang guy, he'd have to kneel to me too?"

Zhao Gongming affirmed.

"As long as he's at the Golden Immortal Realm, he'll kneel for sure!"

Bixiao was so excited she nearly jumped, reaching out to grab the sword.

"I want it, I want it!"

"Hold on!" Zhao Gongming pulled his hand back, his expression turning somewhat odd.

"Big Brother hasn't finished speaking yet."

"This magic treasure is incredibly powerful, but it has a small side effect."

"What side effect?" Bixiao asked dismissively.

"Does it consume essence blood, or magical power?"

"Neither."

Zhao Gongming cleared his throat lightly, putting on a serious face.

"When using this sword, you must be filled with deep emotion."

"And shout at your enemy with heartfelt anguish."

"'Unfilial Son! Your father's heart aches for you!'"

"Otherwise, the treasure won't activate."

Dead silence fell before the Three Immortals Cave.

Yunxiao's stunning face flushed bright red.

She waved her hands repeatedly and stepped back two paces.

"This... this is too absurd!"

"Shouting at someone in public... shouting that, and calling yourself their father?"

"No, no, this is too embarrassing!"

Qiongxiao covered her mouth with a giggle, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.

"Big Brother, what kind of strange treasure did you forge?"

"I wouldn't dare use it—I'd be laughed to death by my fellow disciples."

Only Bixiao.

After a moment of stunned silence, instead of disdain, the light in her eyes grew even brighter!

"Making Cihang kneel before me to receive the sword..."

"And then pointing at his nose, cursing him as an unfilial son..."

"Hahahaha, that would be so satisfying!"

Bixiao snatched the long sword from Zhao Gongming's hand.

Caressing it with fondness, a devilish little grin spread across her face.

"What's there to fear about embarrassment?"

"As long as I can make those hypocrites of the Chan Sect kneel and call me father, I'm all in!"

"Big Brother, this sword is mine—thanks, Big Brother!"

Watching Bixiao's excited demeanor, Zhao Gongming thought to himself.

"As expected, only Third Sister's personality can handle such a Social Death artifact."

Just as Bixiao accepted the treasure, a pleasant chime echoed in Zhao Gongming's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully gifting a Conceptual Level Magic Treasure!]

[Recipient: Bixiao]

[Critical hit reward triggered! Congratulations, host, for obtaining: High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Sea Calming Pearls!]

Zhao Gongming felt his Primordial Spirit tremble.

Twelve pearls radiating five-colored light materialized out of thin air within his sea of consciousness.

Sinking and spinning there, they exuded a terrifying might capable of suppressing the four seas.

"These are the Sea Calming Pearls, and twelve of them at that!"

Zhao Gongming's heart shook violently, surging with an indescribable ecstasy.

After all, he already had twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls bestowed by Sect Master Tongtian.

Though they were Supreme Grade, they always felt a step short of perfection.

Legend had it that the full set of Sea Calming Pearls numbered thirty-six.

Combined, they would be the pinnacle among Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

And they might even evolve into a myriad of worlds, rivaling an Innate Supreme Treasure!

"That later Daoist Randeng—just by stealing my twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls and evolving them into the Twenty-Four Heavens—became the Ancient Buddha Randeng of Buddhism, shaking the primordial wilds. Now that I've gathered thirty-six, if I can evolve the Thirty-Six Heavens, won't the power be more than doubled? I'm taking off—this time, I'm really taking off!"

Zhao Gongming barely suppressed the smile tugging at his lips, his mood soaring. He looked at his three younger sisters, putting on an elder brother's authority as he said, "Alright, since the treasures have been given out, and today Big Brother has broken through with some insights, why don't the four of us siblings Sit and Discuss the Dao? Big Brother can also guide your cultivation."

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao heard this and naturally agreed gladly. Big Brother had broken through to Golden Immortal; his insights were a rare opportunity for them. But Bixiao could no longer contain her restless heart. She gripped the Sword of Father's Love Like a Mountain tightly, her eyes darting around—how could she sit still? "Um... Big Brother, Big Sister, Second Sister, let's talk about discussing the Dao another day! I suddenly remembered I haven't fed the Spirit Beasts outside the cave yet. I'll head out first!"

Before her words faded, Bixiao transformed into a streak of cyan light and shot out of the Three Immortals Cave with a whoosh, so fast that even Zhao Gongming didn't react. "This girl..." Yunxiao shook her head helplessly. "Always so impetuous." Zhao Gongming was both amused and exasperated. How could he not know what Bixiao was off to do? She was clearly taking her new toy, eager to find some unlucky fool to show off to. "Forget it, let her go. On Kunlun Mountain, no one really dares to do anything to her."

Zhao Gongming withdrew his gaze and sat down on a cushion. With one thread of his mind, he began refining the newly acquired twelve Sea Calming Pearls, while starting to explain the Golden Immortal Great Dao to Yunxiao and Qiongxiao. Meanwhile, near Qilin Cliff on Kunlun Mountain, Bixiao was darting around on a cloud, sword in hand, her big eyes sneaking glances everywhere as she muttered, "Where is everyone? Usually these Chan Sect guys love to come out and wander around. Why can't I see a single one today?"

Just as she was fretting over finding a target to test her sword, a auspicious cloud drifted slowly ahead. On the cloud stood a fair-faced, arrogant-looking Daoist, holding a Pure Glazed Vase, frowning at the reckless Bixiao. "Junior Sister Bixiao, this is the sacred Qilin Cliff of Kunlun Mountain. Charging around without any rules—what kind of behavior is that? If you disturb Master's quiet cultivation, can you bear the responsibility?" Hearing that familiar, irritating lecturing tone, Bixiao jerked her head up. Her eyes held no anger—instead, they gleamed with the sharp light of a starving wolf spotting a fat sheep. The newcomer was none other than one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect: Daoist Ci Hang!
