Merit Supreme Treasure's Protection! Primordial Mighty Ones Gather at Zixiao Palace!

Before long, led by the Three Pure Ones, Qin Mu entered the Chaotic Void.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The moment he entered, endless Vajra Wind howled and raged, while turbulent currents of time and space slashed at his face like blades.

Within this Chaotic Void, there was no distinction between heaven and earth, nor were there sun, moon, or stars.

There was only the endlessly surging chaos qi.

Even a Quasi-Saint had to exercise extreme caution within Chaos Space.

Should one carelessly be swept into the turbulent currents, the only outcome would be death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

Qin Mu's heart tightened as he keenly felt a suffocating pressure.

At that moment, the Three Pure Ones had already circulated their mana to protect themselves, and Daoist Tongtian's mana wrapped around Qin Mu.

Qin Mu secretly let out a breath of relief.

Though he was a Top-level Innate Sacred Being and possessed Golden Immortal cultivation the moment he took form, he reckoned that if he were alone in such chaotic spacetime, he likely would not survive for long.

"No wonder the beings who could travel to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao in the past were basically all great powers of the Primordial Land."

"Simply reaching Zixiao Palace was no easy feat."

Qin Mu murmured softly.

"Careful!"

Just then, Laozi cried out. A violent Vajra Wind suddenly swept toward them head-on.

Qin Mu's pupils contracted at the sight.

He could feel the ferocity of that Vajra Wind. Even a Golden Immortal caught within it would likely be shredded to dust in an instant.

Fortunately, with the Three Pure Ones protecting him this time, Qin Mu naturally had little to worry about.

Boom!

In the next instant, Laozi swept his broad sleeve. A stream of Mysterious Yellow Qi immediately soared out from within it.

The Mysterious Yellow aura grew with the wind.

Looking again, golden radiance scattered in all directions, and a nine-tiered pagoda appeared, floating above their heads.

The pagoda was entirely Mysterious Yellow in color and shone brilliantly. Merit Jade Necklaces hung from the eaves of its body.

It was the acquired merit supreme treasure—the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

The moment the pagoda appeared, countless streams of Mysterious Yellow Qi descended, directly enveloping all four of them.

Qin Mu secretly relaxed, feeling the pressure that had weighed upon him instantly lessen.

At the same time, the chaotic Vajra Wind rushing toward them struck directly against the pagoda's Mysterious Yellow Qi.

Immediately afterward, the chaotic Vajra Wind created only faint ripples upon the Mysterious Yellow Qi before being rebounded in another direction.

"Qin Mu."

"This pagoda is your Eldest Martial Uncle's Companion Supreme Treasure, called the Heaven and Earth Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!"

"With this pagoda protecting us, it can ensure that we safely reach Zixiao Palace."

Daoist Tongtian glanced sideways at Qin Mu beside him.

Qin Mu nodded. Even without Tongtian's explanation, he knew it was the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda had formed after creation, condensed from Creation Merit and Mysterious Yellow Qi.

It was the foremost acquired defensive treasure.

It was said that with it standing above one's head, one would be invincible by nature.

"I wonder, compared with the Chaos Bell, which is stronger and which is weaker—the Heaven and Earth Yellow Exquisite Pagoda?"

Such a question suddenly arose in Qin Mu's mind.

The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was an acquired merit supreme treasure.

The Chaos Bell, meanwhile, was an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Both possessed boundless profundity and infinite creation.

The Chaos Bell could imprison time and suppress space.

It could even rebound the attacks of any treasure or divine weapon, ignoring the damage of all divine abilities and spells.

It could be said that the Chaos Bell possessed both offense and defense.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Mu came back to himself.

Next, protected by the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the four of them swiftly traversed Chaos Space.

Before long, a palace came into view before Qin Mu and the others.

Looking closely, they saw that the palace was cast entirely from purple-gold.

Upon the plaque outside the palace were inscribed the three large characters, "Zixiao Palace." Its strokes were formed from Dao Patterns, every line seeming to contain the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.

"We're here."

Laozi spoke calmly. With a slight gesture of his hand, he retrieved the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda that hung above them.

Afterward, Qin Mu and the other three descended outside Zixiao Palace.

Just as the four were about to enter, two figures suddenly flashed into view outside the palace gates.

One was male and the other female, both dressed as young attendants.

The boy wore a Star Robe, with a dot of golden light between his brows that gleamed brilliantly.

The girl wore her hair in a Flying Immortal Bun, and a Colored Ribbon tied around her waist was especially eye-catching.

Dao Resonance circulated around both of them.

Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones, the two attendants hurriedly bowed in greeting and said in unison:

"Greetings, three Senior Brothers!"

Tongtian and the other two nodded lightly. They were no strangers to these two attendants.

The two attendants did not delay, leading Qin Mu and the others toward the interior of Zixiao Palace.

During this time, the two attendants would occasionally steal glances at Qin Mu, both harboring doubts in their hearts.

During Hongjun's first two sermons, the Three Pure Ones had also come to Zixiao Palace together.

Yet for Hongjun's third sermon, there was unexpectedly an additional person at their side.

Qin Mu naturally noticed the two attendants' furtive sidelong glances and muttered softly:

"These two attendants should be Haotian and Yaochi!"

Though this was their first meeting, Qin Mu recognized the two attendants at a glance.

Just then, Yaochi's beautiful eyes shifted toward Qin Mu, her face full of curiosity.

"Who might this fellow Daoist be?"

Qin Mu came back to himself and did not hide anything as he replied:

"I am Qin Mu, the eldest disciple under Teacher Tongtian."

"Greetings, fellow Daoists Yaochi and Haotian!"

As he spoke, Qin Mu bowed to Yaochi and Haotian.

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, both Yaochi and Haotian wore astonished expressions.

Neither had expected Qin Mu to be a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, much less Daoist Tongtian's First Disciple.

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

Across the entire Primordial Land, countless beings wished to enter their sect.

Yet Qin Mu had become the chief disciple under the Three Pure Ones.

After a brief silence, Haotian hurriedly returned Qin Mu's bow. He was clearly much warmer than before.

"Ah, so you are an outstanding disciple under Senior Brother Tongtian. Forgive my disrespect!"

In Haotian's view, since Qin Mu was a disciple of the Three Pure Ones and had even been brought to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, his foundations must surely be extraordinary.

Befriending Qin Mu would undoubtedly bring many benefits in the future.

Next, led by Haotian and Yaochi, Qin Mu and the Three Pure Ones quickly arrived at the place where the Dao would be preached.

Seats had been arranged in neat rows.

At the foremost position were six Cattail Mats, their Dao Resonance naturally formed.

The Three Pure Ones stepped forward and each took a seat upon one of the Cattail Mats.

"Qin Mu, choose a seat behind us."

Tongtian looked at Qin Mu as he spoke.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Qin Mu acknowledged him and took a seat in a nearby spot at the back.

He knew in his heart that the six Cattail Mats at the front had already been allotted.

The Three Pure Ones occupied three of them, Nuwa occupied one, and the remaining two belonged to Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti of the West.

Before long, other great powers arrived one after another.

After all, this was Heavenly Dao Saint Hongjun's third sermon. Mighty figures from every corner naturally flocked to it like ducks to water.

Nuwa arrived together with Fuxi.

After coming forward and exchanging greetings with the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa took a seat upon a Cattail Mat at the front, while Fuxi sat farther back.

Next, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti of the West arrived together, golden light above their heads and lotuses blooming beneath every step.

After that, Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, Hongyun... mighty figures from all corners of the Primordial Land arrived in succession.
