With Tongtian and Yuanshi's discernment, they naturally saw that Qin Mu's cultivation had broken through to the Late Golden Immortal stage.
As the Three Pure Ones' First Disciple, such a rate of cultivation did not disgrace their illustrious name.
Yuanshi narrowed his eyes slightly, an almost imperceptible glint flashing through them as he secretly pondered:
Strange.
Why does this brat give me such a familiar feeling?
Could it be... because of that Creation Green Lotus seed our teacher bestowed upon him?
Just as Yuanshi was lost in thought, a vast aura suddenly erupted from a Cave Mansion not far away.
Boom!
Immediately afterward, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth gathered madly, forming an enormous vortex of spiritual energy.
"Eldest Brother is about to break through!"
Yuanshi's gaze sharpened as he spoke with excitement.
Tongtian also stared toward the source of the erupting aura.
That aura came swiftly and vanished just as swiftly, dissipating completely in no time.
Then, a figure appeared out of thin air before Qin Mu and the other two. It was Laozi.
At that moment, an ethereal aura emanated from Laozi, as though he had merged with Heaven and Earth.
The Three Flowers flickered above his head, while the Five Qi Returned to the Origin within his chest.
He had clearly entered the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm and cut his second corpse!
"Congratulations, Eldest Brother!"
Yuanshi and Tongtian offered their congratulations at the same time.
Seeing this, Qin Mu also bowed deeply and said:
"Congratulations, Eldest Martial Uncle!"
Laozi smiled faintly.
"It is merely a small achievement."
Though Laozi's tone was calm when he said this, anyone could see that he was in an excellent mood.
After all, in the Primordial World, aside from Hongjun Dao Ancestor, he was likely the only one who had cut two corpses.
After that, the Three Pure Ones continued their Dao Discussion.
Qin Mu listened from the side.
Suddenly, Laozi stopped. His gaze turned cold as he looked toward Kunlun Mountain's entrance.
At the same time, Yuanshi and Tongtian seemed to sense something as well.
Only Qin Mu wore a bewildered expression, having no idea what was happening.
At that moment, Laozi shifted his gaze to Qin Mu and said:
"Qin Mu."
"Go down the mountain. Someone has come to visit."
Hearing Laozi's words, Qin Mu hurriedly bowed in acknowledgment.
"Yes, Eldest Martial Uncle!"
Without further delay, Qin Mu flew down Kunlun Mountain.
Who would come to visit Kunlun Mountain at a time like this?
Qin Mu secretly wondered.
Before long, he descended from the clouds and arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun Mountain was the Three Pure Ones' Daoist grounds, and the entire place was shrouded in a supreme grand array.
This array was called the "Three Talents Primordial Chaos Array."
The grand array had been set up jointly by the Three Pure Ones. It contained the mysteries of Heaven, Earth, and Man—the Three Talents—and the might of primordial unity.
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even a Quasi-Saint Mighty One would never take half a step inside without understanding the array's hidden workings.
At this moment, outside the Three Talents Primordial Chaos Array, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal paced back and forth, his expression carrying a hint of anxiety.
The visitor wore a Purple Gold Crown and a Cloud Pattern Immortal Robe. An Immortal Court Token hung at his waist.
Immortal light swirled around him; he was clearly a notable figure in the Primordial World.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the grand array opened.
Seeing this, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal immediately revealed a delighted expression and hurried forward.
At that moment, Qin Mu, who had opened the array, slowly stepped out and immediately saw the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal striding quickly toward him.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you wandering about at the foot of Kunlun Mountain?"
Qin Mu demanded.
"Hm?"
Hearing this, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal halted and stared directly at Qin Mu.
The longer he looked, the more his brows furrowed, and the greater the displeasure in his heart.
A mere Golden Immortal dares to rebuke me like this?
The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was secretly irritated, but a smile appeared on his face.
After all, this was the Three Pure Ones' territory.
Though he possessed the cultivation of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he still did not dare act presumptuously here.
Besides, he had come bearing orders this time and needed a favor from the Three Pure Ones.
"Greetings, young friend."
"I am an Immortal Court Envoy."
"I have come today specifically to pay a visit to the Three Pure Ones, seniors!"
Qin Mu was slightly surprised upon hearing this and secretly sighed:
I wondered who it was.
So it turns out he is from the Immortal Court.
Qin Mu murmured softly. Naturally, he knew that this Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal served East King Duke.
East King Duke had been personally appointed by Hongjun Dao Ancestor as the Head of Male Immortals, overseeing the male immortals of the Primordial World.
He had established the Immortal Court on Purple Mansion Continent in the East Sea, recruiting the gathered immortals in a vain attempt to unify the Primordial World.
East King Duke could be considered a lucky fellow.
But at the same time, he is a tragic one.
Though he received Hongjun's appointment, he could not see the heavenly secrets and foolishly sought to rule the Primordial World. In the end, he would meet his fate at the hands of the Demon Race, his body and Dao both destroyed.
As Qin Mu was lost in thought, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal frowned slightly and called out in puzzlement:
"Young friend?"
"Oh."
Qin Mu came back to his senses and replied indifferently:
"Follow me!"
With that, Qin Mu paid him no further attention and turned to leave.
Seeing Qin Mu treat him so coldly, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could not help feeling annoyed, yet he did not dare flare up.
After pausing briefly, he did not linger and hurriedly followed Qin Mu.
Before long, Qin Mu brought the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to where the Three Pure Ones were.
At that moment, the Three Pure Ones sat upon cloud platforms, Dao Resonance circulating around each of them. Their auras were majestic and boundless as the sea!
Upon seeing this, the Immortal Court Envoy felt an invisible, terrifying pressure descend upon him.
Even with the strength of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he felt immense pressure beneath that imposing aura.
"Immortal Court Envoy pays respects to the Three Pure Ones, seniors!"
After standing there blankly for a moment, the Immortal Court Envoy hurriedly bowed to the Three Pure Ones.
Yet what made the Immortal Court Envoy somewhat embarrassed was that the Three Pure Ones simply ignored him, wearing utterly indifferent expressions.
Hmph!
Are these Three Pure Ones not being far too high and mighty?
At the very least, I am an envoy of the Immortal Court!
The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was secretly dissatisfied, though he only dared feel anger without voicing it.
After a long silence, the Immortal Court Envoy pursed his lips and spoke again:
"Three Pure Ones, seniors."
"By East King Duke's order, I have come specifically to Kunlun Mountain to pay you a visit."
"A small token of regard, unworthy of respect. I hope the three of you will accept it!"
With that, the Immortal Court Envoy gave a light wave of his hand.
Three Primordial Spiritual Objects immediately floated out and descended before the Three Pure Ones.
What surprised the Immortal Court Envoy was that the Three Pure Ones were utterly unmoved by the three Primordial Spiritual Objects he had presented.
Watching from the side, Qin Mu secretly sighed:
East King Duke truly thinks too highly of himself!
In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, what do a few Primordial Spiritual Objects amount to?
These things might make people fight until their heads are split in the outside world, but in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, they are no different from trash!
Qin Mu remembered clearly that when Hongjun gave his third Dao lecture, he had bestowed Ultimate Treasures upon the Three Pure Ones.
Later, at Treasure Distribution Cliff, the Three Pure Ones had obtained quite a few Innate Spiritual Treasures.
East King Duke had sent someone to visit the Three Pure Ones, yet the gifts he offered were merely three Primordial Spiritual Objects. That was truly far too petty.
This will be hard to accomplish!
Qin Mu sighed softly. He had already guessed the visitor's purpose and knew that the matter was destined to fail.
