Di Jun's expression shifted to surprise as he activated the River Diagram and Luo Book to perform a divination.
"A Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir taking form, a Golden Immortal Dao Fruit undergoing transformation, Taiqing's Golden Elixir Great Dao..."
"Such a foundation—it's practically defying the heavens!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi stared toward the East Sea, a hint of greed in his gaze.
"If I could devour him, I might just cross the Quasi-Saint threshold and become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!"
Di Jun immediately stopped him, saying, "Be cautious!"
"He's Taiqing's disciple—we can't touch him."
Kunpeng, guarding the North Sea for the Demon Court, narrowed his eyes.
"Hiss, truly the finest nourishment on the path to sainthood!"
"Damn it all—why did an existence like this have to take Taiqing as his master?"
"Fortune favors the bold..."
"Bold... too bold—no fortune to be had here!"
He stared at Xuandan as if seeing the vanished Primordial Violet Qi.
A single Primordial Golden Elixir might indeed rival the Primordial Violet Qi, multiplying his chances of breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin several times over!
But...
He dared not make a move!
Kunpeng raged helplessly, stirring up towering waves in the North Sea to vent his fury.
Far away on Mount Sumeru in the West, Zhunti was equally covetous.
"A Primordial-level Golden Elixir—an unprecedented marvel."
"Swallow one, and I might advance another step in the Saint Realm, matching Taiqing."
"A Golden Elixir taking form is already unheard of, and now it breaks through to Golden Immortal, completing its transformation—Taiqing planned well."
"How is it that all this good fortune somehow lands in the laps of the Three Pure Ones?!"
Across the entire Prehistoric World, the attention of nearly every great power was drawn.
They deduced Xuandan's background and foundation, each harboring their own thoughts.
None were more concerned about Xuandan than the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain.
Primordial Lord of Heaven suddenly opened his eyes, astonishment in his voice.
"Junior Disciple Xuandan's foundation is truly heaven-defying."
"But this move has stirred the entire Prehistoric World—it may well bring calamity."
"The whole Prehistoric World is affected by his breakthrough to Golden Immortal—this is truly..."
As a Saint, he had never encountered such a scene in all his life.
He was too stunned to speak.
The commotion was hardly less than when they themselves had attained sainthood.
Xuandan was in danger!
All the great powers of the Prehistoric World now knew Xuandan's origins.
Many rational beings, fearing the majesty of the Saints, dared not act.
But when the stakes were high enough, plenty of beings would choose to take the risk.
Especially...
Those two in the West—they had no shame at all!
Inside Green Waters Palace, Tongtian was also jolted awake.
After learning the full story, he froze for a moment, then threw his head back in laughter.
"This junior disciple's actions are perfectly suited to cultivate the Jie Sect's Dao."
"I wonder if Senior Brother would be willing to part with him and send Junior Disciple Xuandan to This Humble Daoist for training."
"Such a heaven-defying will and foundation—taking life from the midst of enmity with all Prehistoric World beings—excellent, excellent!"
Tongtian shouted out loud.
But Primordial Lord of Heaven, inside Jade Void Palace, heard him.
He couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling as he looked toward Green Waters Palace.
"Have you learned that shamelessness from the Two Saints of the West?"
"Aren't you afraid those words will earn you another beating from Senior Brother?"
Primordial Lord of Heaven and Tongtian both set out for Eight Sceneries Palace.
In the East Sea, Xuandan's breakthrough to Golden Immortal and his attainment of the Dao Fruit grew ever more intense.
Countless Strange Beasts roared as they charged toward the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Near the Dragon Palace, countless Koi with traces of Dragon Clan bloodline in them
greedily inhaled the Pill Fragrance radiating from Xuandan.
They suddenly leaped high out of the water, transforming into Flood Dragons upon the sea surface.
This scene instantly stunned the Four Dragon Kings, leaving them rooted in place.
Huanglong's mouth hung slightly open, dumbfounded as a wooden chicken.
Just the Pill Fragrance alone could make a Carp transform into a Dragon.
If the pill were actually swallowed, becoming a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal on the spot wouldn't be a dream, would it?!
Countless Sea Race members were invigorated, continuously absorbing the essence of the Pill Fragrance.
The impurities in the Flood Dragons' bloodlines were slowly being purged.
The East Sea Dragon King's mind was reeling.
Unlimited creation of the True Dragon Bloodline?!
The Dragon Clan had existed for countless years—what sights hadn't they seen...
But this truly was something they'd never seen before!
Xuandan, unaware of the chaos outside, continued to break through with all its might.
Ji Meng, the Demon Sage who was preparing to lead the Demon Army in retreat, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He cast a greedy gaze toward the direction of the East Sea Dragon Palace, his eyes filled with intense inner conflict.
Chapter 27: White Lotus Root, Green Lotus Leaf—The Three Teachings Were Originally One Family
Ji Meng's eyes were full of greed and resentment.
Even a Quasi-Saint powerhouse found it hard to suppress the impulse within.
His eyes narrowed slightly, but he made no rash move.
Xuandan was a disciple of the Grand Pure Sage—he hadn't forgotten that, nor dared to.
The consequences of angering a Sage were something Ji Meng couldn't bear.
Yet the thick Pill Fragrance wafting out
truly made it impossible for him to pull himself away.
A thought even crossed Ji Meng's mind: swallow Xuandan, and the Sage position could be within reach.
His mind raced as his divine sense spread in all directions.
Sensing countless Strange Beasts instinctively rushing toward the Dragon Palace, Ji Meng immediately formed a bold plan.
The Strange Beasts had no intelligence, merely drawn by the Pill Fragrance.
Among them were even existences at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level.
Even he would find it troublesome to be suddenly surrounded by these Strange Beasts.
A sinister grin spread across Ji Meng's face as he secretly influenced the Strange Beasts' direction of travel.
He continuously gathered the scattered Strange Beasts, precisely pointing them toward Xuandan's location.
The Demon Army halted in place, ready at any moment to play the role of the oriole after the mantis stalks the cicada.
Ji Meng deliberated inwardly for a long time—this matter was worth the risk.
It was just the right chance to use the Strange Beasts to test the Grand Pure Sage's attitude.
Meanwhile, inside the Eight Sceneries Palace on Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Lord of Heaven and Sect Leader Tongtian had already arrived.
Tongtian, quick of speech and impatient, said anxiously and bluntly, "Senior Brother, let This Humble Daoist go and bring our junior disciple back."
"Right now, too many eyes are fixed on him."
"Staying in the Dragon Palace like this—there's no safety at all."
The Primordial Lord of Heaven chimed in as well, "Every living being in the Prehistoric World, as long as they have some cultivation, wants to make a move on him."
"With such a foundation, even Jieyin and Zhunti would have the nerve to try and convert him with their thick faces."
"If we keep letting this go unchecked, Junior Disciple Xuandan will likely end up in a situation with no chance of survival."
