Astonishingly Lavish

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Mysterious Yellow Ancient Scripture.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining a pool of Immortal River Water.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining one ton of Eternal Immortal Gold.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the special constitution, Innate Dao Embryo.]

"???"

"Holy crap!"

Hua Yunfei was stunned.

What kind of god-tier rewards were these?

This was ridiculously lavish!

Compared to the rewards he'd received the first time he took Ye Bufan as a disciple, the rewards for taking Huang Xuan this time were far better!

He had no idea what Immortal River Water was.

But Eternal Immortal Gold was a Sacred Item for forging weapons, something even Great Emperors dreamed of!

When a Great Emperor forged an Emperor Weapon, adding even a little Eternal Immortal Gold or another immortal metal of the same grade could greatly enhance its strength.

Ultimate Emperor Weapons forged with special immortal metals were fundamentally different from those made without them.

In a clash, the latter would be at a serious disadvantage!

And this time, the reward for taking a disciple had actually given him a whole ton!

How many top-tier magic weapons could he forge with that?

Especially his own Natal Magic Weapon!

After cultivators reached the Purple Mansion Realm, they opened a Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven and cultivated a Dao Sea of purple qi. Not only could they store anything inside it, they could also begin nurturing their own Natal Magic Weapon in that sea of purple qi!

Every cultivator had their own Natal Magic Weapon!

Hua Yunfei naturally had one too: a nine-story pagoda.

Because his standards were so high, even at his current level, the pagoda had only just begun to take shape!

It didn't even have a name.

He'd been waiting for powerful forging materials to be added to his Natal Magic Weapon so it could take shape!

He wanted his Natal Magic Weapon to be exceptionally powerful from the very start.

Now, the appearance of Eternal Immortal Gold had solved that problem for him.

Besides, Huang Xuan's Mysterious Yellow Undying Body seemed capable of nurturing Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi. It was the qi from the dawn of heaven and earth, a treasure on the same level as Purple Qi Comes From The East.

If he added some, his Natal Magic Weapon would surely become even more powerful.

Once he became a Great Emperor, his Natal Magic Weapon alone might rival a Great Emperor!

Of course, that was all for the future.

"Innate Dao Embryo!"

Hua Yunfei remembered that it was a special constitution that naturally harbored the Dao.

Everything its possessor thought or imagined resonated with the Great Dao, making sudden enlightenment easier and cultivation a thousand miles a day!

"I remember that a Primordial Sacred Body and an Innate Dao Embryo can apparently produce an Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo. That's the true body that harbors the Dao!"

"I've heard that the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo is hailed as the greatest constitution. Its possessor is born a Saint and is almost certain to become a Great Emperor!"

Hua Yunfei was already thinking of finding Ye Bufan a wife someday.

Ideally, she'd be a woman with an Innate Dao Embryo. They could have a Great Emperor-level genius and make the Kaoshan Sect stronger!

"System, what's Immortal River Water? Could it be the water from the legendary river in the Immortal Realm?"

[That's right. Countless years ago, the Immortal River in the Immortal Realm was just a little stream of mortal water. After evolving for a billion years, it gained a spirit, became an immortal, and transformed into the Immortal River.]

[If the host wants to know what it does, one dip will tell you.]

"One shot will tell me?"

Hua Yunfei wore a question mark over his head. Then he caught on and said,

"A bath? I see. I'll try it when I return to Dao Origin Peak."

He hoped the Immortal River Water wouldn't disappoint him.

Then the Innate Dao Embryo merged with his constitution. Within his Purple Mansion, a little figure appeared, sitting cross-legged.

On closer inspection, the figure was a miniature Hua Yunfei.

This was the Dao Embryo. It naturally harbored the Dao, constantly gaining insights and cultivating, then passing its gains on to Hua Yunfei!

"System, from now on, send immortal metals and things like that directly into my Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven. Don't make a scene."

"I've told you so many times, and you still don't understand what it means to keep a low profile!"

"You like showing off more than I do!"

"Are you addicted to it?"

[Honestly, a little.]

"..."

If the system had a physical body, Hua Yunfei would have smacked it right across the face.

What a hopeless little brother, completely clueless about the Survival Dao...

Hua Yunfei looked down on the system. He'd long since seen through its little schemes.

Whenever it got something good, it just had to make a huge fuss.

Even the ninety-nine layers of protective formations on Dao Origin Peak couldn't hide its flamboyance.

It was blinding.

Seeing that Hua Yunfei and Huang Xuan had finished talking, Lin Yang and the others walked over.

From a distance, they'd watched Hua Yunfei's lavish spending. Huang Xuan had been won over, and so had they.

Lin Yang looked at Huang Xuan enviously. This man had actually become Senior's disciple. Was his talent even greater than Lin Yang's?

His spirits sank a little. If he asked, would Senior really agree to take him in?

Mu Qingqing took his hand and smiled.

"The most important thing is to have confidence. Whether or not you can become Senior's disciple, I believe you'll shine in your own way at the Kaoshan Sect!"

"Thank you."

Lin Yang regained his confidence. She was right; he needed to believe in himself!

Even if Hua Yunfei didn't want him as a disciple, he couldn't lose heart.

After all, he was still going to become a core disciple of the Kaoshan Sect. It wouldn't be all that different!

Hua Yunfei glanced around at them and smiled. "We've been out for a few months. It's time to return to the sect!"

At that, everyone smiled.

They were finally going back!

Yaoguang Holy Land!

It was late at night, silent, with the bright moon hanging overhead.

Two old men, one in a golden robe and the other in a silver robe, stood with their hands behind their backs atop a building, gazing up at the moon.

The old man in the golden robe said, "The Eastern Domain is about to change. The destruction of the Ghost Nether Mansion is only the beginning."

The old man in the silver robe nodded. "Indeed. The Primordial Races seem to have awakened. Some disciples spotted them a few days ago."

"At this point, we should force those reclusive clans and sects to show themselves. The Nine Great Immortal Sects have become so in name only."

"Their strength no longer lives up to the reputation of the Nine Great Immortal Sects. After all, a great age is slowly approaching."

"Indeed. It's been thirty thousand years since Great Emperor Xuanhuang passed away. The entire starry sky has been desolate for thirty thousand years. Crossing the stars is too dangerous without the strength of a Saint."

The old man in the golden robe sighed. Time passed too quickly.

"That's why, over the past ten thousand years, the Big Dipper Star has lost close contact with the other great stars."

"Contact the Sun Moon Divine Cult and activate the Immortal Ranking plan. We must intimidate the ancient powerhouses who are about to awaken!"

"I'm sure the other four domains will take action against the Primordial Races that are about to awaken, too."

"Tomorrow, I'll go there myself and ask whether they have any shame left! Hmph!"

As a Supreme Dao Holy Land, they had all sorts of means at their disposal. How could they fail to uncover the clues?

The Sun Moon Divine Cult had a hand in the destruction of the Ghost Nether Mansion.

They'd discovered that the Ghost Nether Mansion had close ties to the Sun Moon Divine Cult before its destruction.

Powerful members of the Ghost Nether Mansion had led experts from the Sun Moon Divine Cult into their sect.

That same day, the Ghost Nether Mansion was destroyed!

No one would believe the Sun Moon Divine Cult had nothing to do with it!

"Oh, right."

The old man in the golden robe suddenly said, "That disciple with Sacred Tier Qualification who left the sect went to the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony at the Qian Kun Grotto-Heaven. He's already been rejected."

The old man in the silver robe snorted and said,

"If someone leaves the Holy Land on their own, we won't stop them—but we'll make them pay for it."

"Is there any power in the Eastern Domain, or even across the whole Big Dipper Star, that would dare refuse to show Yaoguang respect?"

The old man in the golden robe shook his head with a smile. "His future is ruined. Joining a small sect will only bury him completely. Even with Sacred Tier Qualification, he can forget about reaching a high level of cultivation."

The two men felt some regret over Huang Xuan's departure from the sect, but they were even angrier.

The Yaoguang Holy Land had invested heavily in him, yet he'd chosen to leave just because he hadn't become the Holy Son.

It was utterly outrageous!

Huang Xuan hadn't become the Holy Son because he wasn't capable enough.

After all, this generation's Holy Son had exceptional talent, nothing Huang Xuan could compare to!
