Ling Tian had never even heard of the [Nine Revolutions Divine Art] from the first option.

But the [Method to Sever Three Corpses and Attain Sainthood] in the second option was something Ling Tian knew like thunder rolling in his ears.

The [Method to Sever Three Corpses and Attain Sainthood] was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's natal cultivation technique, and after the Great Dao went into hiding in later ages, it became a technique countless Primordial Beings dreamed of obtaining.

Yet Ling Tian did not particularly thirst for the [Method to Sever Three Corpses and Attain Sainthood].

He had no desire to attain sainthood through such a shortcut.

Dao Proving Through Laws and cultivating into a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin—that was the proper path.

Although Ling Tian had never heard of the [Nine Revolutions Divine Art].

The name alone sounded ridiculously badass. It might well be an incomparably powerful cultivation technique.

It was clearly more tempting than the [Method to Sever Three Corpses and Attain Sainthood]!

The only catch was that obtaining the [Nine Revolutions Divine Art] required him to follow Yuan Feng to the Qilin Ancestral Land.

To Ling Tian.

That meant danger!

Ling Tian instinctively felt somewhat resistant.

For a time.

Ling Tian fell into a dilemma, unsure of what to choose.

And just then.

Ling Tian clearly heard a conversation between Yuan Feng and Qing Luan...

"Qing Luan, watch the house. This lady is planning to make a trip to the Qilin Ancestral Land. I haven't gone out in ages, so I'll take this chance to have some fun!"

"Alright, Sister."

Ling Tian: "..."

Ling Tian realized he might have overthought things.

As a fetus, the choice was not in his hands at all.

Yuan Feng's wishes were the deciding factor.

"This trip is just Yuan Feng going out to have fun, not to stir up trouble. There shouldn't be any danger."

Ling Tian suppressed the unease in his heart and called out to the system.

"System, I choose option one!"

The moment he spoke.

The system's voice rang out...

"Host, this reward will be distributed after Yuan Feng arrives at the Qilin Ancestral Land."

Delayed distribution again?

Hearing the system's voice, Ling Tian, who was desperately craving the cultivation technique, immediately ground his teeth in frustration.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Qilin Ancestral Land, lanterns and colorful decorations filled the grounds, while crowds bustled everywhere.

Countless Primordial Beings moved ceaselessly through it.

Every being wore a smile.

The Qilin clansmen were naturally delighted because a happy occasion was drawing near for their clan.

As for the other Primordial Beings who had come to attend the banquet, they were overjoyed simply to be able to participate in such a grand event.

One had to know.

The Qilin Clan was one of the three great races of the primordial world.

The vast majority of the Primordial Beings attending the banquet possessed only the cultivation of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals.

For them, being able to attend such a grand gathering of the Qilin Clan was an exceedingly rare opportunity.

Inside the Kirin Clan Hall.

First Qilin sensed everything within his clan, his heart brimming with accomplishment.

He had brought all of this about with his own two hands.

After this grand gathering.

The Qilin Clan's prestige throughout the primordial world would surely surge by a great deal.

That was, of course, provided no one disrupted things and the gathering concluded perfectly.

At that thought.

First Qilin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the figures of Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

"Ancestral Dragon suffered such a humiliating loss a few years ago. He definitely won't come."

"That madwoman Yuan Feng should be tending her pregnancy in the Southern Ming Undying Volcano. She probably won't come either."

"There won't be any problems!"

First Qilin found reasons for both Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng not to attend, and his expression relaxed once more.

Three days later.

The grand gathering officially began.

At the very top of the Kirin Clan Hall, First Qilin stood tall and steady in a silver Dao robe.

Looking down at the countless Hong Huang cultivators below, First Qilin gave a carefree smile and said in a ringing voice, "This gathering is for the coming-of-age ceremony of my son, Sacred Kirin."

"I am deeply grateful that all you Fellow Daoists have come to attend."

After First Qilin finished speaking, countless voices immediately rose from below...

"Sacred Kirin Crown Prince has comprehended the laws so swiftly. In the future, his Dao path will surely stretch farther than that of the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon and the Phoenix Clan Crown Prince."

"Indeed. What use is a powerful origin? Comprehending the laws is the true path!"

"If you ask me, Sacred Kirin Crown Prince is the strongest among the descendants of the three clans."

"Fellow Daoist speaks reasonably!"

"Congratulations to the Kirin Clan. For Sacred Kirin to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal before reaching adulthood, his Dao path is boundless."

"Congratulations to Sacred Kirin Crown Prince on breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm."

"Congratulations to the Kirin Clan on its orderly continuation and enduring prosperity of clan fortune!"

"Congratulations..."

"..."

Listening to the countless congratulations and flatteries below, the smile on First Qilin's face grew deeper.

The results of this gathering were even better than he had anticipated.

Good thing Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng didn't come to spoil things.

First Qilin thought to himself. The smile on his face grew ever broader as he was about to move on to the next part.

"Shriek!"

A phoenix's cry suddenly rang beside First Qilin's ears.

The next moment, a fiery-red figure appeared within First Qilin's divine sense.

This is bad!

Why has Yuan Feng come?

First Qilin's heart jolted, and he inwardly cried out in alarm.

Yet before First Qilin could think further, he saw Yuan Feng, smiling brightly, enter the Kirin Clan Hall.

"Fellow Daoist First Qilin, I'm here!"

First Qilin: "..."

Looking at Yuan Feng, who had suddenly appeared before him, First Qilin froze outright.

Why had Yuan Feng suddenly come?

Shouldn't she be tending her pregnancy in her lair? What was she running out here to join the excitement for?

First Qilin was speechless.

And at that moment, something happened that left First Qilin even more speechless...

Yuan Feng's arrival meant that the fetus possessing the origin of a Supreme Grade Innate Being had arrived as well.

Which meant...

the Thirty Million Mu Spiritual Energy Vortex had come along with her.

This time...

Almost all the Primordial Beings attending the banquet shifted their gazes away from him and onto that incomparably vast spiritual energy vortex.

Exclamations rang out one after another.

"A Thirty Million Mu Spiritual Energy Vortex—I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, yet this is the first time I've seen one."

"What are hundreds of thousands of years? I've lived for millions of years, and I haven't seen one either."

"Not even the leaders of the three clans back then could compare to such a phenomenon. Who could possibly have witnessed it?"

"This is probably the strongest Foundation in the Primordial World at present, isn't it? When it is born in the future, what kind of magnificent phenomenon will it bring?"

Yuan Feng had only been here for a short while.

Yet the focus of the entire gathering had undergone a tremendous shift!

She was plainly here to stir up trouble!

First Qilin's face darkened, anger rising from nowhere.

But Yuan Feng had clearly come at his invitation.

First Qilin was in no position to say anything.

Just as First Qilin was about to invite Yuan Feng to take a seat, Sacred Kirin, who had been standing beside him all along, suddenly spoke.

"So what if one's Foundation is powerful? The path of cultivation does not rely on Foundation alone—it also depends on one's cultivation technique and one's comprehension of laws."

Clearly, Sacred Kirin could not bear to hear the other beings praising Ling Tian, and could not resist mocking him.

The moment Sacred Kirin spoke, the entire venue fell silent.

Feeling countless gazes fixed upon him, Sacred Kirin wore an arrogant expression as he spoke again.

"Without the support of a powerful cultivation technique and strong comprehension of laws,"

"if you cannot comprehend laws, then no matter how strong your Foundation is, you will never become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!"

As he spoke, Sacred Kirin's gaze never left Yuan Feng's lower abdomen...
