As Chen Xuan's sea of consciousness took shape, the Profound Origin Water Control Banner also successfully transformed into Chen Xuan's physical body.

The triangular banner unfurled in the wind, instantly turning into a black Daoist robe that draped over Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan reached out and touched his body, a smile appearing on his face.

At the same time, Tongtian shattered another heavenly punishment tribulation lightning bolt. By now, there were only the last nine heavenly punishment tribulation lightning bolts left to fall.

"Immortal Elder, please rest for a moment. I will face the remaining nine tribulation lightning bolts myself."

Meanwhile, the tribulation clouds in the sky underwent a change, turning from their original black to a shimmering golden light.

This couldn't help but make Tongtian burst into laughter. "I didn't expect you to have such a fortunate encounter. It wasn't in vain for this poor Daoist to save you this time."

After speaking, Tongtian's figure flickered, instantly appearing a thousand miles away.

Seeing the radiant Tongtian, Laozi shook his head helplessly. Yuanshi Tianzun even directly pulled Tongtian to his side and began to lecture him.

Looking at the golden tribulation clouds in the sky, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin were filled with regret.

If they had known earlier that the Profound Origin Water Control Banner had such a fortunate encounter, they would never have chosen to stand by and do nothing.

Because once these golden tribulation clouds appeared, it meant that the Heavenly Dao had already recognized Chen Xuan's existence.

As for the last nine tribulation lightning bolts, they were not meant to scatter Chen Xuan's soul. Instead, they were to help him rebuild his physical body.

Immediately after, Daoist Zhunti stepped forward.

He shouted loudly towards Chen Xuan, "Just now, Senior Brother Yuanshi said that you are fated with our Western religion. Today, this poor Daoist will make an exception and take you as a disciple."

"Junior Brother Zhunti, aren't you being a bit shameless?

When my little brother was in trouble just now, why didn't I see you step forward?" Goddess Nvwa said with a smile.

Being questioned by Goddess Nvwa in this manner, Daoist Zhunti was momentarily speechless.

Just as he was thinking of how to argue and make excuses, Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke.

"Didn't you just say that treasures of the East are not fated with the West?

So, from now on, I trouble you two junior brothers not to come to the East, otherwise, don't blame this poor Daoist for not considering our fellow discipleship."

As he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun had already taken out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. Tongtian even directly held the Qingping Sword in his hand.

At this point, it seemed there was no chance to take advantage.

Daoist Jieyin could only step forward, pull Daoist Zhunti, and transform into two golden lights heading towards the West.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan sat cross-legged in mid-air, his Daoist robe moving without wind. Around him, myriad waters surged and waves rose.

The first golden tribulation lightning bolt finally condensed into form and transformed into a golden giant dragon from the sky, heading directly towards the top of Chen Xuan's head.

Chen Xuan quickly channeled his magic power, wanting to resist the golden giant dragon. However, what Chen Xuan didn't expect was that his resistance didn't slow down the golden tribulation lightning by even half a point.

It still struck the top of his head squarely. What shocked Chen Xuan even more was that the golden tribulation lightning didn't cause him any harm. Instead, it sent a piece of information into his mind.

This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan instantly enter a state of enlightenment, beginning to comprehend the information that had entered his mind.

"Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, it's actually the first layer of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique." As Chen Xuan comprehended the content of this information, he couldn't help but blurt it out.

But in the next moment, Chen Xuan suddenly felt a needle-like stinging pain throughout his body.

Immediately after, the meridians in his body began to snap inch by inch, and at the same time, he felt his body rapidly expanding like a ball.

Finally, with a loud bang, Chen Xuan's body instantly exploded. However, there was no scene of bloody flesh and gore.

Only, as a golden light flashed, Chen Xuan's body began to reassemble again. In the blink of an eye, a complete physical body appeared once more.

At the same time, the second golden tribulation lightning also descended from the sky. Just like the first one, Chen Xuan once again experienced the feeling of exploding and dying.

Finally, Chen Xuan's body exploded and reassembled a total of four times. At the same time, Chen Xuan had comprehended the first four layers of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, and his cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal realm.

As for the fifth golden divine lightning that fell, although it also entered Chen Xuan's body, it did not cause Chen Xuan to explode.

This couldn't help but make Tongtian in the distance shake his head, "It seems this child's opportunity is only that of a Golden Immortal. It's truly a pity for this golden tribulation lightning."

"What the hell do you know? Although he didn't continue to break through, the cultivation technique information is stored in his mind. As long as he carefully comprehends it in the future, why worry about not being able to break through?" Yuanshi Tianzun said after glaring at Tongtian.

Tongtian chuckled, then continued to look at Chen Xuan in the distance.

Indeed, Chen Xuan successfully absorbed the remaining golden tribulation lightning into his body, and the tribulation clouds in the sky also dissipated.

Seeing that the heavenly punishment tribulation clouds had dispersed, everyone flashed and arrived in front of Chen Xuan.

Yuanshi Tianzun even spoke directly, "This poor Daoist is Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, the orthodox Pangu. I wonder if you are willing to take this poor Daoist as your master?"

Tongtian never expected that Yuanshi Tianzun would step forward at this time to snatch his disciple.

He was about to tell Yuanshi Tianzun that Chen Xuan had already said that as long as he could pass the heavenly punishment, he would take him as his master.

But before Tongtian could speak, the Supreme Laozi on the side spoke first, "This poor Daoist is Taiqing Supreme Laozi, the orthodox Pangu..."

Supreme Laozi's words were not finished, but Tongtian already understood that Supreme Laozi was also preparing to take Chen Xuan as his disciple.

But at this moment, a voice sounded in the sky, "The Purple Cloud Palace will open again in a thousand years. This poor Daoist will preach for the living beings of the world for the second time. Those with destiny can come to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao."

The Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nvwa, and Great God Fuxi all knelt on the ground at the same time, kowtowing and saluting in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Your name is Chen Xuan? This poor Daoist Hongjun is the ancestor of the Profound School. I wonder if you are willing to enter my Profound School to cultivate?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice came again from mid-air.

This time, not only did Tongtian's expression freeze, but even Supreme Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were instantly stunned in place.

If it were just Tongtian wanting to take a disciple, they could still compete based on their status as senior brothers. But now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had spoken, they dared not say anything more.

At the same time, Chen Xuan had also opened his eyes and bowed in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Then he stood up and said, "It is a blessing of three lifetimes for this junior to enter the Profound School. How could I refuse?"

As soon as Chen Xuan said this, Tongtian's heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles. It felt as if something important of his had been snatched away.

However, after a second thought, he was relieved. After all, who would choose him and not a Saint?

But Chen Xuan's subsequent actions completely surprised everyone present.

Chen Xuan was seen falling from mid-air and kneeling down in front of Tongtian with a thud.

Without a word, he performed the nine kowtows to Tongtian, and then said, "Master, this disciple is ordered by Dao Ancestor Hongjun to enter the Profound School. You can't bully me in the future."
