Guangchengzi and Duobao Suffer Utter Embarrassment-Little Junior Brother Causes No End of Trouble!

The moment he finished speaking, Guang Chengzi and Duobao's eyes lit up.

A Saint Pill—without a doubt!

Xuandan's pills might have unreliable side effects, but there was no denying their efficacy!

They shouted at the same time.

"I'll take three!"

They exchanged a glance, and Guang Chengzi took out a stone infused with the laws of the Five Elements.

"This item is called the Five Elements Chaos Stone. It's a rare treasure in the Prehistoric World. I'll give it to you, Junior Brother."

Duobao wasn't about to be outdone. He took out a High-grade Houtian spirit treasure.

"This item is the Jade Qilin Xuan Armor, forged from a qilin's body. Junior Brother, take good care of it."

At the same time, a system notification suddenly sounded in Xuandan's mind.

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, on gifting someone a Breakthrough Pill. A random reward is being issued!]

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, on receiving the following rewards: Xuan Yin Kui Water Grass, Nine-leaf Lingzhi...]

Xuandan, Guang Chengzi, and Duobao were all grinning from ear to ear.

Everyone was swept up in the joy of the moment.

Guang Chengzi suddenly asked,

"Junior Brother, does this pill have any side effects?"

Duobao's smile vanished. He turned a tense gaze on Xuandan.

Xuandan merely spread his hands and said with a faint smile,

"I don't know. I haven't taken one myself."

Guang Chengzi and Duobao furrowed their brows, looking hesitant. Then they bowed together and said,

"In that case, we'll take our leave."

With that, the two senior brothers eagerly turned into streaks of light and flew away.

Back in their caves, Guang Chengzi and Duobao didn't hesitate for a moment.

So what if there were side effects?

They could just stay indoors for a while!

Besides, the side effects of Junior Brother's pills weren't permanent!

As soon as they swallowed the pills, insights from the depths of the Dao flooded their minds.

Thunder rumbled above both caves as dark clouds gathered.

An indescribable Heavenly Dao Pressure descended in an instant.

Guang Chengzi transformed into a beam of azure light and shot beyond the clouds.

A towering phantom appeared above his cave, radiating even more powerful pressure.

At the same time, Duobao strode out with his sword and slashed at the heavens, defying the Thunder Tribulation.

All things fell into ruin, as if the heavens and earth were being destroyed, then fused into his very being.

The immense pressure radiating from the two of them marked them as Taiyi Golden Immortals!

Soon, the Heavenly Dao Pressure faded. The phantom and Sword Qi vanished, and the world returned to calm.

They had long since set up formations to conceal the power of their breakthroughs. No one noticed a thing.

With the Three Sects Grand Competition drawing near, everyone was more cunning than the next.

Feeling the immense power within him, Duobao was overjoyed.

He had no time to savor it and could only take a quick look at himself.

There was no change at all, which made him even more ecstatic.

"Junior Brother didn't make a single mistake refining these pills this time. Wonderful, just wonderful!"

The sound of a bell echoed through the heavens and earth.

Dong!!!

Two waves of Sage Pressure descended upon Kunlun Mountain.

Golden Buddhist light bathed the entire mountain in a radiant glow.

Duobao's expression changed at once.

"The Two Saints of the West!"

He had no idea why the two Saints had come to Kunlun Mountain.

But as the Interception Sect's chief disciple, it was only proper that he come out and pay his respects.

With a flash, Duobao appeared before Kunlun Mountain.

Quite a few Xuan Sect disciples had already been awakened and had come to welcome the Saints.

But Duobao suddenly felt countless gazes land on him.

He lifted his chin proudly, puffing out his chest.

"They must be stunned by my breakthrough to Taiyi Golden Immortal."

Zhunti and Jieyin descended, their towering figures suffused with Buddhist light.

Looking at the many Xuan Sect disciples before them, they couldn't help feeling envious.

"The East truly is blessed with remarkable people!"

Then Zhunti's gaze fell on Duobao, and he suddenly froze.

The next instant, boundless delight filled him.

Before Duobao could bow, Zhunti spoke first.

"Young friend, you are destined to have a connection with the West. Why not come study Buddhist teachings with me?"

Zhunti's fervent gaze swept over Duobao.

He was the perfect vessel for cultivating Buddhism!

Duobao froze, confusion written all over his face.

What?

Me?

Jin Ling couldn't bear to watch any longer. With a casual gesture, she conjured a water mirror that reflected Duobao's image.

Duobao stared at the bald head in the mirror. His face turned ashen, and he stood there speechless.

Some people were alive, but already dead...

Guang Chengzi and Duobao's Public Humiliation—Junior Brother Is a Menace!

Duobao felt his heart stop beating.

The smile he had worn to welcome the Two Saints of the West turned into a strained grin.

Under the gazes of his fellow disciples and the Two Saints of the West, he wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole.

He had always carried himself with such pride, and now he'd humiliated himself in front of the West.

Duobao was furious and mortified, but with the Two Saints of the West present, he couldn't even leave.

It was sheer torture from every direction.

How was this any different from taking a dump in the middle of the street?

Just as the atmosphere threatened to turn unbearably awkward, Guang Chengzi arrived on a cloud.

Yuanshi looked displeased and quietly chided him,

"The Two Saints of the West have come to call. As the Chan Sect's senior disciple, why are you so late?"

"That was discourteous. Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"

He was a stickler for etiquette and appearances.

In Yuanshi's eyes, Guang Chengzi was the face of the Chan Sect.

As the senior disciple, he ought to set an example for all his fellow disciples.

And now he had been somewhat discourteous to the Two Saints of the West.

Guang Chengzi, handsome as a jade figurine, arrived with a warm, springlike smile.

He looked apologetic and bowed respectfully to Yuanshi.

"Master, I just broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal. I was stabilizing my aura, which is why I arrived late. I hope you won't be angry."

With that, Guang Chengzi released the pressure of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

His fellow disciples around him couldn't help praising him.

Zhao Gongming looked surprised and exclaimed,

"As expected of our senior brother. His talent is truly exceptional."

Huanglong, Jade Void, and the other Chan Sect disciples stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough to Taiyi Golden Immortal, Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother, you'll have to lecture us on the Dao."

"As expected of the face of our Chan Sect..."

Hearing their congratulations, Guang Chengzi couldn't help smiling.
