Primordial Unity Golden Immortal! Awakening an Innate Divine Ability, Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

Just then, Laozi slowly asked:

"What business brought you here?"

As he spoke, Laozi did not even raise his eyelids.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Court Envoy did not delay and hurriedly explained his purpose:

"By order of East King Duke, I have come especially to invite the three seniors to join the Immortal Court!"

"If the three seniors are willing to enter the Immortal Court, you shall be treated with the rank of Immortal Ancestors, your status second only to East King Duke."

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere abruptly froze.

Standing to one side, Qin Mu nearly laughed after hearing what the Immortal Court Envoy had said.

This East King Duke truly was arrogant!

Inviting the Three Pure Ones to join the Immortal Court, yet not even coming in person—sending some insignificant Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to deliver the message?

Did he really think that being named Head of Male Immortals by Old Ancestor Hongjun meant he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Three Pure Ones?

Qin Mu secretly sighed.

One had to know that the Three Pure Ones were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage and immensely powerful.

Long ago, Dijun of the Demon Race had also considered inviting the Three Pure Ones into the Demon Race camp.

Yet the Three Pure Ones had refused him.

That time, Dijun and Taiyi had personally come forward and welcomed the Three Pure Ones to the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.

But East King Duke was something else entirely.

He had merely sent a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to deliver a message, and the greeting gifts he offered were no more than three Primordial Spiritual Objects.

He had even bluntly stated that if the Three Pure Ones joined the Immortal Court, their status would be beneath East King Duke's.

In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, East King Duke simply did not matter.

As for the so-called Head of Male Immortals, they regarded it with utter disdain.

If not for Hongjun's Divine Decree ordering him to mete out punishment on behalf of Heaven and govern the Primordial Wilderness,

they would not have given East King Duke any face at all.

In terms of origin, East King Duke was merely the incarnation of the first wisp of innate yang qi. How could he compare to Pangu's Orthodox Lineage?

Just as Qin Mu had thought,

the instant the Immortal Court Envoy finished speaking, Tongtian's expression darkened as he bellowed:

"Scram!"

With that shout, Tongtian swept his sleeve, and an invisible surge of vast mana burst forth.

"Boom! Bang!"

Before the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could even understand what had happened, he was sent flying with a single slap, crashing heavily outside Kunlun Mountain.

After sending the Immortal Court Envoy flying, Tongtian turned his gaze toward Laozi.

"Eldest Brother, isn't this East King Duke far too arrogant?"

"Does he truly take himself for the Head of Male Immortals, free to command the Primordial Wilderness as he pleases?"

Laozi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

After considering it for a moment, he replied:

"It is of no concern."

"His allotted fate is nearly at its end."

After saying this, the Three Pure Ones did not speak further on the matter and resumed their Dao Discussion.

Though Laozi had not said much, Qin Mu, standing nearby, understood.

The allotted fate Laozi spoke of was East King Duke's death tribulation.

At the same time, outside Kunlun Mountain, the Immortal Court Envoy crashed heavily onto the ground.

After getting up, he saw that Kunlun Mountain's Mountain-Protecting Array had already sealed shut.

"Hmph!"

The Immortal Court Envoy snorted. He had never expected that after traveling such a great distance, he would be treated this way by the Three Pure Ones.

Of course, though he was furious, he dared not speak out.

Still seething, he transformed into a streak of light and departed into the distance.

East Sea, Purple Mansion Continent.

This place was where East King Duke had taken form.

That was why East King Duke had established the Immortal Court's foundation upon Purple Mansion Continent.

Using the Immortal Court's Fortune, he suppressed the land where his Dragon fortune had risen.

At the center of Purple Mansion Continent, East King Duke had expended immense mana and resources to construct a lavish palace.

Looking out, the palace stretched and wound across the land, shrouded in clouds and mist, with carved beams and painted rafters.

It appeared incomparably luxurious and magnificent.

At this moment, within the Immortal Court Main Hall, Immortal Maidens danced while immortal music drifted through the air.

Upon the seat of honor, a man leisurely indulged himself.

The man was handsome, with white hair and a jade-like face.

He was none other than the Head of Male Immortals and lord of the Immortal Court, East King Duke!

Suddenly, a streak of golden light descended outside the hall.

Looking again, the Immortal Court Envoy came scrambling and rolling into the Immortal Court Main Hall.

At once, the music and dancing within the hall halted.

"Hmm?"

East King Duke's brows sank as he stared directly at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

"What happened?"

"Did I not send you to Kunlun Mountain to invite the Three Pure Ones?"

Hearing this, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal wore a mournful expression as he recounted everything that had happened at Kunlun Mountain, from beginning to end.

"What?"

After hearing the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal's account, East King Duke flew into a rage and smashed the Jade Table before him with a fierce palm strike.

"Damn it!"

"The Three Pure Ones actually dared to show This Sovereign Lord so little respect?"

East King Duke's face reddened with fury.

In his eyes, he had personally been named Head of Male Immortals by Old Ancestor Hongjun and ruled over the immortals of the Primordial Wilderness.

How dare the Three Pure Ones treat him with such contempt?

They had sent the envoy he dispatched flying with a single slap.

Was that not a blatant slap to his face?

But furious as he was, East King Duke ultimately forced himself to endure it.

After all, the Three Pure Ones were immensely powerful, and he could not defeat them!

Moreover, the three of them would become Saints in the Future.

That made them even less someone he could afford to offend.

Time quietly passed.

Before he knew it, several thousand more years had gone by.

Kunlun Mountain.

Clouds and mist coiled through the air, while Rosy Clouds stretched for countless miles.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from within a Cave Mansion.

Not long after, a figure slowly emerged from that Cave Mansion.

That person was none other than Qin Mu.

After listening to the Three Pure Ones' Dao Discussion earlier, he had returned to his own Cave Mansion to cultivate in seclusion.

Over the past several thousand years, aided by medicinal pills, his cultivation had broken through to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Qin Mu's eyes seemed to contain revolving rivers of stars, while his aura was vast and abyssal.

"I finally broke through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!"

Qin Mu let out a long breath. Feeling the surging mana within him, he was overjoyed.

Over these thousands of years, not only had he refined more of the Fire Spirit Pearl's Prohibitions, but with the aid of medicinal pills, he had also smoothly overcome his bottleneck and advanced to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

What delighted him even more was that after cultivating for so many years,

his Exclusive Great Dao Level Technique had finally reached the first layer.

Within his body, a Sword Leaf had already solidified, no longer as illusory as before.

Just as Qin Mu was sighing to himself, a system notification sounded in his mind:

[Ding!]

[It has been detected that the host's Exclusive Great Dao Level Technique has reached the first layer.]

[Innate Divine Ability awakened—Heaven-Defying Comprehension!]

"Hmm?"

Qin Mu was startled, his eyes flickering.

"One Sword Leaf has solidified, and I awakened the Innate Divine Ability, Heaven-Defying Comprehension?"

"In other words, with Heaven-Defying Comprehension's support, I can comprehend any technique, divine ability, or Great Dao law without obstruction?"

"Doesn't that mean my comprehension has reached the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness?"

Qin Mu was utterly shocked.

He had not expected that merely solidifying one Sword Leaf would grant him such a heaven-defying divine ability.

"Now that my cultivation has achieved success,"

"and I have the support of Heaven-Defying Comprehension,"

"it is time for me to go outside and gain some experience."

Qin Mu muttered to himself. Determination flashed through his eyes as he rose and flew toward Tongtian's Cave Mansion.

Before long, Qin Mu arrived where Tongtian was.

At this time, Tongtian sat cross-legged upon a cloud platform, Dao Resonance swirling around him.

When he saw Qin Mu enter the hall, a trace of satisfaction flashed through his eyes.

"Not bad. You have achieved Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. You have not disgraced your master's name."

Tongtian said with a smile. With a single glance, he saw that Qin Mu had broken through the Golden Immortal realm and entered the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level.

Qin Mu respectfully bowed to Tongtian and said:

"Master, this disciple wishes to descend the mountain and travel for a time."
