A Meeting Gift, Yuanshi's Promise

"After paying your respects to your two martial uncles, each of you may choose a cave dwelling on Kunlun Mountain and settle down. In some time, I will teach you the Supreme Purity Dao Method."

After Tongtian finished speaking, he casually swept his sleeve. The Primordial World's incomparably stable spatial barrier was torn apart with a mere gesture. Facing the violent spatial turbulence, he stepped into it without a care.

A wave of power swept out, immediately drawing Jing Chu and the other four into the spatial rift.

Crossing the void, especially in a sacred Primordial World site like Kunlun Mountain, required far greater strength than casually tearing space apart elsewhere on the Primordial Land.

Yet even while bringing Jing Chu and the others along, Tongtian remained utterly composed, without the slightest trace of fatigue. Such strength truly deserved to be called terrifying.

As expected of one of the Three Pure Ones. With such cultivation, even before becoming a Saint, he was likely among the foremost beings in the Primordial World.

Only a handful of people could compare with him.

In Jing Chu's view, Tongtian's strength was even among the very best of the Three Pure Ones.

With the Zhu Xian Sword Formation in hand, none but four Saints could break it!

He wondered whether he would ever have the chance to see the legendary Four Swords of Execution.

After all, the Four Swords of Execution were in no way inferior to the Three Treasures of Creation, and in terms of lethality, they far surpassed the Four Treasures of Creation.

Crossing the void took Tongtian only an instant. When he led the five of them out of the spatial turbulence, they had already arrived in an elegant little courtyard.

At that moment, two figures sat beside a stone table carved from a Chaos Boulder within the courtyard.

Those two figures were none other than the other two members of the Three Pure Ones.

"Disciples, why have you not greeted your martial uncles?"

Tongtian sat down beside the two of them and spoke with a smile.

"Disciple Jing Chu pays respects to First Martial Uncle and Second Martial Uncle!"

Jing Chu's etiquette was impeccable. He understood the preferences of the Three Pure Ones.

Taiqing practiced nonaction, and Jing Chu did not know how best to get along with him.

But Yuqing valued proper etiquette and naturally favored those of pure origins and flawless manners.

Thus, although Jing Chu knew full well that this Second Martial Uncle would one day clash with his master in a conflict between great teachings, he was not particularly afraid.

After all, given his origins, he was certainly not among those furred, scaled, damp-born, or egg-born beings.

Seeing Jing Chu's actions, the Three Skies and Zhao Gongming also respectfully bowed to Taiqing and Yuqing.

"Three colorful clouds and a wisp of fresh breeze—your origins are all quite good. Since you have become Tongtian's disciples, cultivate diligently and strive not to disgrace the name of the Three Pure Ones."

A faint smile appeared on Yuanshi's usually stern face.

He looked calmly at the Three Skies and Zhao Gongming, his expression remarkably genial as he spoke.

"We will heed Second Martial Uncle's teachings."

The Three Skies and Zhao Gongming all nodded, but they were somewhat surprised. Why had he only admonished them, while overlooking Jing Chu, whose cultivation was the highest?

With his naturally impulsive temperament, Zhao Gongming immediately intended to step forward and introduce Jing Chu to the two martial uncles.

But before he could move, his master's voice sounded in his ear.

Zhao Gongming was somewhat baffled. What did it mean that Brother Jing Chu was different from himself and his three sisters?

Were they not all Innate Living Beings? Could Brother Jing Chu's origins truly be higher than his and his three sisters'?

How could that be? In Zhao Gongming's view, Innate Divine Beings had already taken form in ancient times and should, at the very least, have reached the Great Luo realm by now.

Although Brother Jing Chu's cultivation was impressive, he was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Jing Chu, you took form from the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus. Your origins are incomparably noble, not the least bit inferior even to the three of us."

"If you had not taken form so late, your present achievements would surely not be beneath ours."

"What a pity!"

Under Zhao Gongming's puzzled gaze, Yuanshi finally turned his attention to Jing Chu. Zhao Gongming was instantly dumbfounded, and an expression of utter shock appeared on his face.

The Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus—such noble origins, even no weaker than their master and two martial uncles.

He truly was an Innate Divine Being!!!

They had all gotten along so well. Shouldn't they all have been Innate Living Beings? Why had Brother Jing Chu suddenly leveled up?

Of course, Zhao Gongming was only shocked for a moment and harbored no other thoughts. Instead, he was quite happy.

In the Primordial World, Innate Divine Beings were incomparably noble, and their future achievements were bound to be limitless.

His good brother had a promising future ahead of him. How could he not feel thrilled and delighted?

They had emerged from the East Sea together, so their bond was exceptionally strong.

Petty thoughts like jealousy naturally did not arise in the slightest.

The Three Skies were equally shocked, but they quickly recovered just as Zhao Gongming had.

Yunxiao in particular gave a gentle smile. She had already had some suspicions, and now they had merely been confirmed.

"Although this disciple's origins are indeed good, there is still quite a gap between me and Master and my two martial uncles."

"I dare not speak of catching up. I only wish to serve at Master's and my two martial uncles' sides and listen to your teachings."

Naturally, those were humble words. In terms of origins, he was absolutely no inferior to the Three Pure Ones. The only possible shortcoming was that he lacked Creation Merit.

As for the Three Pure Ones, each of them possessed at least one-tenth, if not more, of Creation Merit.

"Good!"

Taiqing Laozi gave a slight nod and casually pointed a finger. Five gourds of Golden Cores immediately appeared before Jing Chu and the others.

Clearly, these were meeting gifts.

Taiqing Laozi's alchemy was renowned throughout the Primordial World. The Golden Cores he refined could be consumed to raise one's cultivation or comprehend the Great Dao, without any issue whatsoever.

"Second Brother, Eldest Brother has given them meeting gifts. You are not planning to give them nothing, are you?"

Seeing his eldest brother gift Golden Cores to his disciples, Tongtian's gaze shifted toward Yuqing Yuanshi at his side.

No matter what, Tongtian had to help keep up appearances by making his second brother part with something.

"Hmph, of course I will not give them nothing!"

"I am most skilled in artifact refinement. I can promise to refine one suitable spiritual treasure for each of you. What do you think?"

Compared with the Golden Cores bestowed by his First Martial Uncle, Yuanshi's promise to refine artifacts made Jing Chu's eyes light up even more.

Innate Spiritual Treasures stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial World, but there were always exceptions, and the Heaven-Flipping Seal was one of them.

The Heaven-Flipping Seal was one of the magical treasures refined by Yuanshi, and its power was absolutely no weaker than some Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

In the future, Guangchengzi would rely on the Heaven-Flipping Seal to win immense renown in the Investiture of the Gods War. He even struck down Duobao Daoist and knocked Holy Mother Turtle Spirit back into her original form. Its power was undeniably formidable!

With this promise, if he could find better materials, it would be equivalent to obtaining an Innate Spiritual Treasure for free.

For Jing Chu, who currently possessed only two Innate Spiritual Treasures, this was immensely tempting.

If it had not been inappropriate, he would have wanted to pull out the two Golden Flood Dragons on his person right then and there.

However, since this promise had no time limit, it would be best to collect some additional materials before having the treasure refined.
