Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Seeing this, Qin Mu hurriedly raised his eyes to look.

In the distance, boundless rosy clouds shot into the heavens, shrouding the sky and tearing a rift through the sea of clouds.

Within the depths of that rosy glow, streams of Chaos Force churned.

Faintly, Golden Array Patterns could be seen flowing within.

"Is this... an Innate Treasure coming into being?"

"What kind of treasure has an Innate Formation protecting it?"

Qin Mu was secretly startled.

"Boom..."

At the same time, terrifying flames burst forth from within the formation.

The heat waves released by the flames alone swept through the surroundings, burning everything into flying ash.

Just as Qin Mu stood awestruck.

Daoist Tongtian beside him raised his brow slightly and sighed.

"After waiting Fifty Thousand Years, this Innate Spiritual Treasure has finally emerged."

As soon as his words fell, Daoist Tongtian's wide sleeve billowed, and a piercing sword cry rang out.

When Qin Mu looked again, a Longsword had descended from the Nine Heavens into Daoist Tongtian's hand.

After catching the sword, Daoist Tongtian casually swung it, slashing toward the towering rosy glow.

"Whoosh!"

With a single sword strike, boundless mana surged forth. The vast Sword Qi was like a Silver Ribbon hanging upside down across the heavenly curtain!

In an instant, the terrifying Sword Qi had already cleaved deep into the rosy light.

"Rumble!"

As the Sword Qi rushed in, the Innate Formation within the rosy glow began operating at high speed, attempting to grind the sword force to pieces.

Yet before Daoist Tongtian's terrifying sword force, the array patterns were torn apart directly.

The sword force did not diminish in the slightest, sweeping back and forth through the formation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

As the sword force tore through it, the Prohibitions within the Innate Formation were swiftly cut apart.

"Boom!"

For an instant, a dazzling Blazing Light suddenly erupted from the center of the formation.

Immediately afterward, the Innate Formation shattered like Glazed Tile beneath the piercing sword force.

Array Fragments fell to the ground, smashing terrifying Abysses into the earth.

"This?"

Qin Mu's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with shock.

"Daoist Tongtian is only a Quasi-Saint, yet the might of a single sword strike is already so terrifying."

"I truly wonder just how powerful Saints above Quasi-Saints must be?"

Qin Mu murmured in amazement.

Daoist Tongtian, standing beside him, had already put away his Longsword and was calmly watching the shattered Innate Formation.

Before long, at the Array Eye of the Innate Formation.

A crimson pearl slowly rose.

The Treasure Pearl hovered in midair, wreathed in waves of Blazing Flame.

From its body emanated a terrifying aura capable of burning the heavens and extinguishing the seas. Even the surrounding space-time seemed to warp and distort from the heat.

"Gulp..."

Qin Mu swallowed, staring fixedly at the pearl without blinking.

Upon closer inspection, strange Dao Patterns could be seen appearing across its surface.

"Judging by its might, this pearl must be an Innate Spiritual Treasure, right?"

"No wonder Daoist Tongtian waited Fifty Thousand Years for it!"

Just as Qin Mu was secretly speculating.

Daoist Tongtian reached toward the Void with a grasp.

He clearly intended to seize the pearl.

"Boom! Boom!"

Who would have thought that the moment Daoist Tongtian's mana swept forward, the Treasure Pearl would release a terrifying Heat Wave and suddenly resist!

"It has quite the temper."

Daoist Tongtian spoke indifferently, then lightly waved his sleeve.

"Whoosh!"

As his broad sleeve fluttered, an immortal light flew out from Daoist Tongtian's sleeve.

In less than a few breaths, the Treasure Pearl was enveloped by the immortal light, and its fierce resistance was instantly suppressed.

Looking closely again, the Treasure Pearl, which had been releasing terrifying Blazing Flame moments ago, had become docile, while the blazing radiance around it had softened.

The next moment, the Treasure Pearl transformed into a streak of red light and flew straight into Daoist Tongtian's hand.

After taking the Treasure Pearl, Tongtian lowered his gaze and examined it.

"A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Not bad."

As he spoke, Tongtian lightly tapped it with his fingertip. The Dao Patterns on the Treasure Pearl seemed to awaken, flowing as they emitted a brilliant glow.

Moreover, the origins of the Five Elements seemed to surge within the Treasure Pearl.

"Hmm?"

"It is actually a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu was utterly shocked.

He had previously guessed that the treasure coming into being was very likely an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

But he had never expected its grade to be so high, reaching the top-grade level.

Before Qin Mu could recover, Daoist Tongtian shifted his gaze and looked directly at him.

"Since you have entered my sect."

"This Fire Spirit Pearl shall be given to you as a gift upon joining."

With that, Tongtian lightly waved his hand, and the Treasure Pearl in his palm immediately flew toward Qin Mu.

Qin Mu hurriedly caught it. Before he could react, a fire pattern was branded into his palm.

"The Fire Spirit Pearl?"

"It is actually this treasure!"

Qin Mu was stunned.

Naturally, he knew of the Fire Spirit Pearl. After Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth, Five Elements Power had been born: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!

In the end, that Five Elements Qi condensed into Five Spirit Pearls. Obtaining one would allow its bearer to command the origin of one element.

The one Daoist Tongtian had given him was the Fire Spirit Pearl.

"Thank you, Master!"

Still reeling from the shock, Qin Mu hurriedly bowed to Tongtian.

He had never expected Daoist Tongtian to be so generous.

He gave away a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure just like that!

After all, Daoist Tongtian had waited a full Fifty Thousand Years for this Fire Spirit Pearl.

Tongtian's expression remained calm as he smiled faintly.

"Let us go."

"Return to Kunlun Mountain with your master."

With that, Daoist Tongtian waved his sleeve. Invisible mana stirred, directly sweeping Qin Mu up into the sky.

Not long afterward.

Led by Tongtian, Qin Mu returned to Kunlun Mountain.

Halfway up the mountain stood a magnificent palace.

The palace gates had been carved from Innate Spiritual Root Phoenix Tree Wood.

Over the palace's dome hung a Primordial Formation Diagram, rippling with Dao Resonance.

At this moment, two Daoists sat facing one another atop a cloud platform within the palace.

One of them was an elderly man with crane-white hair and the complexion of a child.

Above his head, a Celebratory Cloud could faintly be seen manifesting.

His snow-white brows hung down to his waist, and every strand of hair was entwined with the aura of merit.

Across his plain white Daoist robe, stars seemed to flow. The purple-gold red Gourd hanging at his waist continuously inhaled and exhaled spiritual mist.

Most astonishing of all were the old man's half-closed eyes.

His left eye seemed to reflect the vitality of all things being born, while his right eye mirrored the extinction of the heavens.

Sitting opposite the old man was a Middle-aged Taoist.

His azure Daoist robe was embroidered with Celestial Stars. Whenever the hem of his robe stirred, earth, wind, water, and fire could be seen replaying within it.

His face was like polished jade, and his entire body carried a piercing chill.

"Hmm?"

Upon seeing the two men, Qin Mu naturally identified them.

The old man should be Taishang Laojun, while the Middle-aged Taoist was Daoist Yuanshi.

As the cloud descended, Taishang Laojun and Daoist Yuanshi, who had been engaged in a Dao Discussion, both turned their gazes toward them.

When Daoist Yuanshi saw Qin Mu beside Daoist Tongtian, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"Third Brother has returned!"

"Who is this young man?"

Daoist Tongtian did not hide anything and replied.

"He is a disciple I accepted outside. It can be considered fate."

As he spoke, Daoist Tongtian glanced at Qin Mu.

"Why do you not pay your respects to your two senior uncles?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu hurriedly bowed to Taishang Laojun and Daoist Yuanshi.

"This disciple is Qin Mu."

"Greetings, First Senior Uncle and Second Senior Uncle!"
