Could it be because I previously said that only those in the Taiyi Realm could contend with the true disciples of the two sects, that you rushed in so recklessly?
Looking at Lu Tian's sincere expression, Jieyin felt both helpless and regretful. This was supposed to be a prodigy who would shake the Primordial World, how could he destroy his Dao Foundation?
Lu Tian was stunned upon hearing this.
So that's how it is...
The two Masters don't know that he has already gathered the Innate Supreme Treasures of the Five Elements attributes. They thought he broke through in a hurry and hadn't refined the Five Qi in his Chest with suitable Spiritual Treasures.
If that were truly the case, it would indeed be an act of ruining his future.
This misunderstanding is truly...
Lu Tian found it both amusing and helpless. Obtaining three Supreme Treasures in three thousand years was indeed hard to believe.
"Master, please see, **my foundation was not damaged. Lu Tian cupped his hands and said, the Five Qi were all refined with compatible Spiritual Treasures before I broke through."
Jieyin's expression suddenly turned grim.
"Stop joking! Three Supreme Treasures of the Five Elements in three thousand years, and precisely the Water, Earth, and Fire elements?
Do you know that we two have been guarding the West for many years, and we still don't have four Supreme Treasures in our collection!"
Lu Tian said no more, and spiritual light erupted from his body.
The Plain Cloud Boundary Banner fluttered in the wind, the Twelve-grade Empty Clarity Lotus Platform radiated clear brilliance, the Kunyuan Dao Robe flowed with the aura of the earth, and the Nine Dragon Fire Cover spewed fierce flames.
The four Supreme Treasures shone in harmony, becoming one with the aura of their master.
"This..."
Zhunti's words came to an abrupt halt, his eyes wide open.
Jieyin's Divine Sense probed repeatedly, still unable to believe it.
It's no wonder the two Sages lost their composure.
When has the Western Teachings ever been so affluent!
If these items belonged to Lu Tian and not to the other four Sages, they would have snatched them at all costs!
"Are all these Spiritual Treasures obtained by you in the last three thousand years?"
Jieyin looked at the dazzling array of treasures, his heart aching faintly.
He had only witnessed such a scene on the Dao Ancestor's Treasure Distribution Cliff!
It's a pity that he didn't manage to acquire much back then.
Now that it has fallen into his disciple's hands, doesn't that mean he has a share in it?
Thinking of this, Jieyin could no longer maintain his strict master demeanor, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Who would have thought that he would give the Plain Cloud Boundary Banner to Lu Tian without hesitation back then?
"Good! Good! Good!
As expected of my good disciple!
With these five Supreme Treasures gathered, who can compare to the Five Elements Body?
I'm afraid you'll soon be Taiyi Invincible and directly aim for Grand Unity!"
Zhunti burst into laughter.
Lu Tian's growth speed far exceeded expectations.
His Heaven-Defying Comprehension was already rare.
Now he has also revealed astonishing fortune!
Five Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!
As Sages, they actually need to borrow treasures from their disciple when facing matters?
After cultivating for countless eons and traversing almost the entire East, why had they never discovered these treasures?
Lu Tian coughed lightly.
The gazes of the two Masters made him a little uncomfortable.
How about...
giving the Masters another surprise?
With a thought, he took out another item.
"My luck is still decent. I stumbled upon a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root on the way – the Enlightenment Tea Tree, which helps people comprehend the Great Dao.
The small leaves, numbering in the thousands, are beneficial to both Grand Unity and Taiyi.
The large leaves, nine in number, can even benefit Quasi-Saints."
Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes completely changed!
They looked at him as if he were some kind of prodigy!
"Disciple, tell us honestly, did you discover the tomb of some Chaos Demon God?"
Zhunti could no longer hold back.
This is too exaggerated!
Lu Tian's trip to the East alone yielded more than their hundreds of millions of years of arduous cultivation!
How could anyone accept this?
Such destiny...
Zhunti's scalp tingled.
Even for a Sage, Lu Tian's fortune was too heaven-defying!
Lu Tian's eyes gazed at his nose, his nose at his heart, remaining silent.
Don't ask.
To ask is to acknowledge destiny's will.
To ask is to acknowledge him as the Son of Destiny.
Jieyin and Zhunti were shocked for a long time before finally recovering. They sighed, believing the great prosperity of the Western Teachings was truly destined to befall this child.
Lu Tian did not hide his generosity.
He took out the Enlightenment Tea Leaves, keeping five large leaves for himself.
Treasures that could benefit even Quasi-Saints naturally warranted keeping some to aid his future cultivation.
After all, the Nine-leaf Enlightenment Tea took eighty thousand years to mature, making it an extremely rare delicacy.
Four of these leaves were gifted to Jieyin and Zhunti.
While these leaves might not be of great use to them, they were rare treasures for other Quasi-Saints, useful for befriending fellow Daoists and exchanging resources.
As for the ordinary tea leaves, Lu Tian generously gave them away.
With his talent, there were no obstacles before reaching the Quasi-Saint realm, rendering these leaves of little significance to him.
He took out six thousand leaves and handed them to Jieyin and Zhunti, intending for them to cultivate their fellow disciples.
Jieyin gently stroked the tea leaves, his heart greatly reassured.
With this batch of tea leaves, the cultivation of the Western Teachings ** would be guaranteed.
At the very least, before the Grand Unity Realm, their comprehension of laws would be unimpeded.
The two immediately summoned their five senior brothers, each receiving two hundred tea leaves.
The five senior brothers were overjoyed.
Although they had already stepped into the Taiyi Realm, their comprehension of laws was uneven, with only Pharmacist being comparable to the Mystic Gate **.
Now, with the Enlightenment Tea, the hope of the Western Teachings surpassing the Heavenly Origin Sect and Intercepting Sect greatly increased.
After the five bowed to thank Jieyin, Zhunti, and Lu Tian, they immediately sat on the ground and drank tea to comprehend the Dao.
Lu Tian also took out a top-grade tea leaf to brew.
As the tea entered his throat, his body trembled slightly, as if he were in the state of primordial chaos--
Myriad Great Daos manifested, allowing him to observe and comprehend.
In an instant, he fell into a deep state of enlightenment.
Although Jieyin and Zhunti were simultaneously ** six people, their gazes remained focused on Lu Tian.
They were curious: with this child's talent combined with the Enlightenment Tea, what astonishing Dao would he comprehend?
Time flew by, and three hundred years passed in a flash.
Jieyin lightly tapped the void, and Pharmacist and the other five slowly awoke, their eyes shining with brilliance.
The Mystic Gate Grand Gathering begins tomorrow. Prepare yourselves quickly and do not diminish our sect's prestige.
As the people of the Western Teachings prepared to depart, Lu Tian remained immersed in his enlightenment.
The assembled ** discussed: The grand gathering is imminent; we cannot delay.
The Western Teachings have traveled from afar; we must not neglect proper etiquette--
Didn't even the most arrogant Heavenly Origin Sect adhere to etiquette? Even though Taiyi Zhenren was unconvinced by Lu Tian in many ways, his words and actions did not lose their decorum.
Let's set off. Your junior brother seems to need a little more time to recover.
We will go to the Mystic Gate Grand Gathering first.
As for him, let him continue to comprehend here.
Jieyin waved his hand, casting a meaningful glance at Lu Tian.
He understood Lu Tian's comprehension the best.
After this period of dedicated comprehension for three hundred years, with the aid of the Enlightenment Tea Leaves, he might comprehend something earth-shattering!
At this moment, the Mystic Gate Grand Gathering had become a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.
Although the Western Teachings needed to maintain their dignity, they were not lacking in this moment or half.
The moment he cast his spell, enveloping the crowd and preparing to leave.
Lu Tian's eyes snapped open!
A brilliant light shot out from his pupils, directly unleashing two divine beams!
His gaze swept over Pharmacist and the others, causing their hearts to tighten.
As if under Lu Tian's scrutiny, all their secrets were laid bare.
"Disciple, do not look carelessly!"
Just as his gaze was about to fall upon the two Sages, Jieyin and Zhunti.
Zhunti hurriedly stopped him, raising his hand and lightly tapping the top of Lu Tian's head.
He conjured a silk ribbon, wrapping it around Lu Tian's eyes.
This ribbon could seal the five senses, completely blocking Lu Tian's vision and plunging him into darkness.
Zhunti then breathed a sigh of relief.
With his discerning eyes, he had understood the moment Lu Tian woke up that this disciple must have comprehended some earth-shattering pupil technique.
Although he didn't know its specific effects, judging from Lu Tian's inability to control himself when he first woke up, this technique was definitely extraordinary!
Lu Tian got up, his heart still pounding, and respectfully bowed to Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Thank you, Master, for your timely rescue."
He was indeed somewhat fearful.
He had indeed comprehended a pupil technique, but to think of using it to spy on Sages?
To be honest, if it were Sages in their normal state, it wouldn't matter for mortals to see them.
But to spy on them using a secret method was simply courting death!
Even a glimpse of the Heavenly Might emanating from a Sage would likely cause his eyes to burst on the spot!
Although a Taiyi Golden Immortal could regenerate from a drop of blood.
If such a calamity truly befell him, his eyes would be completely ruined.
Spying on Sages was a grave act of disrespect.
"Since you're awake, come with me to the Mystic Gate Grand Gathering. That way, those people in the East won't say my Western Teachings are ill-mannered."
Jieyin then placed another restriction on Lu Tian's eyes before finally feeling at ease.
"I will naturally accompany you."
Lu Tian had woken up precisely to attend this grand gathering!
His karma with the Intercepting Sect had not yet been settled.
It was time to settle it with this opportunity.
As for the eye covering, it naturally had no effect.
Although his physical eyes could not see, he still had his divine sense, which allowed him to see hundreds of times more clearly than his physical eyes.
Jieyin took Lu Tian.
He felt a blur before his eyes.
The surrounding scenery had already changed drastically.
Deep within the Kunlun Mountain Range, a colossal valley stood majestically. Lu Tian and his group stopped at the cliff's edge.
The basin at the bottom of the valley was surrounded by peaks, naturally forming a battle arena.
"Fellow Daoists, it has been a long time."
"This humble Daoist offers his greetings."
Jieyin and Zhunti spoke one after another, exchanging pleasantries with the Great Powers present.
Lu Tian and the others held their breath, not daring to speak carelessly.
Such a grand occasion was truly awe-inspiring!
The Mystic Gate Grand Gathering, organized by Yuanshi and Tongtian for the sake of discussing the Dao, had gathered nearly half of the Primordial World's top cultivators.
With a slight movement of his divine sense, Lu Tian detected Styx's figure in the distance.
Old Ancestor Blood Sea nodded and smiled at him, a look of approval flashing in his eyes.
After his foundation was complete, this child had truly advanced like a broken bamboo, actually entering the Taiyi Realm.
It seemed the Intercepting Sect and Heavenly Origin Sect would suffer some hardship...
In time, he would surely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with us...
Styx mused to himself, viewing Lu Tian favorably.
Looking around, he saw only the direct disciples of the Mystic Gate, the disciples under the Sages. It would not be difficult for them to achieve Grand Unity or even Quasi-Saint in the future.
But even if they achieved Quasi-Saint, could they truly reach the absolute peak?
Lu Tian respectfully returned the bow, maintaining the demeanor of a junior.
His gaze, sharp as lightning, swept across the assembled heroes—
The sheer number of Quasi-Saints and Great Powers present was astonishing!
Those who hadn't reached this realm were simply beneath the notice of the Three Pure Ones.
Yet, even among Quasi-Saints, there was a vast difference.
Styx could be considered the peak of this realm, with only a handful of others comparable.
That Fuxi, Nuwa's Elder Brother, must absolutely not be offended.
Kong Xuan, wielder of the Five-Colored Divine Light, acted with impunity; they should all avoid his sharp edge.
Zhenyuanzi kept to himself, and Kunpeng always remained aloof.
Haotian and Jade Pond were attendants before the Dao Ancestor, so they must be addressed as Uncle-Masters.
Di Jun and Taiyi had not yet arrived, but the two Demon Empresses had come with the Queen Mother of the West.
Zhunti secretly offered guidance to them.
Pharmacist and the others felt a spiritual might like a mountain; even though the powerful figures had restrained their auras, they still felt suffocated.
The sky was clear, and rosy clouds rolled across.
Where immortal cranes gathered, even the Heavenly Dao had to retreat a few steps.
Lu Tian silently memorized the appearances of the Sages, which were vastly different from his preconceptions in his past life.
Lu Tian was contemplating this inwardly.
Suddenly, the pressure from heaven and earth surged!
Four figures stepped out from the void.
Without introduction, Lu Tian recognized them—
Taiqing Dao De, Yuqing Yuanshi, Shangqing Lingbao, and Wa Huang Nuwa!
Sage might was immense!
Rumble!
Another majestic aura exploded from in front of Lu Tian, the shockwave nearly overturning everyone.
