Based on his previous experience tempering his body on the Taiyin Star.
Tongtian knew that if he could reach the bottom of the Profound Yin Divine Pool, the Profound Yin Divine Water there would surely be even better for tempering his body.
However, this Profound Yin Divine Pool was not actually very deep.
He had not swum for long before all light around him vanished completely, turning into a deep, pitch-black expanse.
As he continued downward, an azure glow suddenly appeared before him.
Looking closely, Tongtian was overjoyed.
At the deepest part of the Profound Yin Divine Pool, a jade-blue pearl was actually floating there.
That azure radiance was released by this pearl.
Without this spiritual pearl, the bottom of the divine pool would have long since been consumed by darkness.
"An upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Water Spirit Pearl!"
"I never expected there to be a spiritual pearl at the bottom of the Profound Yin Divine Pool as well."
Tongtian sighed inwardly.
Thinking it over carefully, both Profound Yin Divine Water and Solar True Fire were among the purest forces in the world.
It seemed that only such power could support the birth of an Innate Spiritual Pearl.
This was certainly convenient for him. He already possessed the Fire Spirit Pearl, and now the Water Spirit Pearl could join his collection as well.
Buzz!
With a beckoning motion, the Water Spirit Pearl immediately landed in Tongtian's palm.
After examining it briefly, Tongtian put the Water Spirit Pearl away.
Tempering his body in the Profound Yin Divine Pool was not a problem, but refining a spiritual treasure within it would be exceedingly difficult for him.
Having obtained the Water Spirit Pearl, Tongtian did not waste the incomparably dense frigid energy at the bottom of the divine pool.
He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground at the pool's bottom and fully circulated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill and Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.
On the Taiyin Star.
After Xihe and Changxi had left for some time, they thought it over and still could not stop worrying about Tongtian.
The two of them knew perfectly well just how terrifying the power of Profound Yin Divine Water was.
Tongtian might be able to withstand it for a while, but there was no guarantee that nothing would go wrong forever.
So after waiting for a while, the two of them returned to the vicinity of the Profound Yin Divine Pool.
"Elder Sister, Fellow Daoist Tongtian is nowhere to be seen."
"Could he have gone to the bottom of the divine pool?"
Changxi asked with shock on her face.
Xihe's lovely face grew solemn. "The Profound Yin Divine Water at the bottom of the pool is the purest."
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is being far too hasty. Without a powerful body, I fear even escaping would be difficult."
As she spoke, anxiety appeared on her face as well.
Although she and her sister had only met Tongtian for the first time.
They still did not wish to see him completely frozen at the bottom of the Profound Yin Divine Pool.
Just as the sisters hesitated, unsure what to do.
Ripples spread across the divine pool once more, and in the next moment, Tongtian's head emerged from beneath the surface.
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Tongtian put his daoist robe back on and stepped directly out of the Profound Yin Divine Pool.
This round of body tempering had yielded a bountiful harvest.
In terms of spiritual treasures, he had gained two Innate Spiritual Pearls.
The improvement to his body, however, was even more astonishing.
Seeing Tongtian emerge, Xihe and Changxi finally heaved sighs of relief.
"Fellow Daoist, your body is truly formidable!"
"You can come and go freely within the Profound Yin Divine Water."
"It is truly astounding."
Xihe said with a face full of admiration.
Even she and her sister normally would not approach the Profound Yin Divine Pool.
Much less use Profound Yin Divine Water to temper their bodies. The very idea was far too mad.
Of course, Fellow Daoist Tongtian's tremendous strength must be related to his mad cultivation.
Still, this method truly did not suit the two sisters.
"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist."
"There is always a higher heaven beyond heaven, and there are always greater people beyond people."
"The Primordial World is filled with powerful experts."
Tongtian said with a light laugh.
This was not false modesty. There truly were many powerful experts throughout the Primordial World.
To say nothing else, the Twelve Ancestral Witches' potential in physical strength was no lower than his own.
As for cultivation, compared to Innate Demon Gods such as Hongjun and Yang Mei, he lagged far further behind.
Xihe and Changxi did not dwell on it, merely feeling that Tongtian was far too humble.
They were all Innate Great Beings, but they were indeed nowhere near Tongtian's level.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the difference between the Primordial World and the Outer Starry Skies?"
"I have heard that the Primordial World teems with life. It should not be as desolate as the Outer Starry Skies, should it?"
Changxi asked curiously.
It was no wonder. Since their birth, the sisters had cultivated on the Taiyin Star.
They had never once visited the Primordial World.
Thus, they were filled with curiosity about it.
Xihe was also very curious about the Primordial World's circumstances, and her beautiful eyes turned toward Tongtian.
Tongtian smiled and explained, "Of course! Living beings can be found everywhere throughout the Primordial World."
"It is brimming with life, with all things flourishing."
"There are also countless rare sights seldom seen between heaven and earth."
"The world is vast, and powerful experts abound. In any case, it is certainly far superior to the cold, dull Outer Starry Skies."
After saying that, he could not help shaking his head.
These Innate Great Beings born in the Outer Starry Skies appeared free and unrestrained, but their places of cultivation were far too dull and tedious.
In his view, these stars were no different from prisons.
They could see neither magnificent scenery nor the vastness of the world.
If it were him, he certainly would not be willing to remain in the Outer Starry Skies to cultivate.
Dijun and Taiyi were an example. After leaving the Sun Star for the Primordial World, they had never returned to the Sun Star.
Having personally experienced the Primordial World's vast grandeur, who would still be willing to return and remain confined to such a small patch of land?
Hope appeared in Xihe and Changxi's eyes as they listened.
Their hearts were filled with visions of everything Tongtian had described.
It would be even better if they could see it with their own eyes.
Yet the sisters also knew that the Primordial World was filled with dangers. Before they had sufficient strength, they simply lacked the confidence to go there.
Tongtian saw this as well and understood their concerns.
It made him chuckle inwardly.
Their cultivation and combat strength might not rank among the best of the Innate Great Beings.
But they were still Innate Great Beings!
Why be so timid and hesitant?
After thinking for a moment, he proposed, "If you two fairies truly wish to see the Primordial World, why not return with me?"
"As long as you trust me, I will certainly protect both of you."
"If you feel uncomfortable in the Primordial World and wish to return to the Taiyin Star, I will absolutely not stop you. I will even personally escort you back."
"What do you say?"
Letting the two peerless Taiyin Goddesses remain on the Taiyin Star, only for Dijun and the Demon Clan to benefit for nothing in the end.
Since that was the case, he might as well make his move while they were tempted.
He wondered what expression Dijun would wear when he learned of this.
More importantly, the two of them were not mere ornaments. In the future, they might even become some of his support!
The Jie Sect had deep foundations and many disciples, yet it was still difficult for it to survive the Great Tribulation of the Worlds.
At its core, there were simply too few powerful experts in the Jie Sect.
If several Innate Great Beings could guard it, then he would only need to ensure that the other Saints could not cause trouble.
At his words, Changxi's face filled with excitement.
After hearing Tongtian's depiction of the Primordial World, she had long been itching to go.
Not knowing was one thing, but now that she knew how vast and fascinating the Primordial World was, she truly could no longer calm herself and continue cultivating on the Taiyin Star.
She had long had enough of such prolonged solitude.
Xihe was also full of anticipation at the thought of traveling to the Primordial World, but she still had concerns.
Unlike Changxi, she was not so carefree and looked at matters more steadily.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Fellow Daoist."
"However, bringing the two of us to the Primordial World may cause you too much trouble."
"And the Primordial World is currently full of tangled factions. If we accidentally provoke a powerful enemy, we will surely drag you into it."
Xihe spoke softly.
Changxi also suppressed the excitement in her heart. The two of them were weaker than Tongtian.
And in the Primordial World, strength was the foundation of everything!
Tongtian chuckled. "Fellow Daoist, are you doubting my abilities?"
"Since I said I would protect the two of you, I can certainly do it!"
"Besides, I am not alone. I have two elder brothers: Laozi of the Supreme Purity and Yuanshi of the Jade Purity."
"We are all Pangu Sect Disciples."
"Whether in origins or combat strength, we are absolutely inferior to no Innate God."
"So you two can rest assured."
Hearing this, all of Xihe and Changxi's concerns were immediately dispelled.
It turned out Tongtian was not alone and had two elder brothers.
With that, there would certainly be no issue protecting the two of them.
After all, Tongtian's cultivation was already above theirs, so his two elder brothers must be even stronger.
Coupled with their origins as Pangu Sect Disciples, this lineup could absolutely act without restraint.
"Good!"
"Then please remain on the Taiyin Star for a while longer, Fellow Daoist. My sister and I will pack up a few things."
"Then we will follow you to the Primordial World."
Xihe did not deliberate for long before agreeing outright.
Changxi was overjoyed and immediately rushed off energetically to pack her belongings.
Seeing her younger sister in such a hurry, Xihe felt a little embarrassed.
It made the two sisters seem as though they could not wait.
Tongtian, however, smiled. The two of them truly were pure by nature.
No wonder Dijun had found it so easy to win them over.
But with him here now, unless the two of them agreed, he would not let Dijun's plans succeed so easily.
While the two of them busied themselves packing, Tongtian simply admired the scenery of the Taiyin Star.
On the distant Sun Star.
Dijun and Taiyi quietly approached the Sun Star.
After recovering from their injuries in the Primordial World and discussing matters, they had ultimately decided to return to the Sun Star for a look.
After all, this was their daoist ground.
If Tongtian had seized their nest and had no intention of leaving, they could discuss what to do next.
Fortunately, neither of them sensed Tongtian's aura, which meant he had likely already left.
"It seems that fellow has finished tempering his body and departed."
"He got off too easily!"
"He was already difficult to deal with. If he truly tempered his body with Solar True Fire, his body will likely become even stronger."
"That will make him even harder for us to handle."
Taiyi said indignantly.
He remembered Tongtian's utterly monstrous body vividly.
Even with the origins of Three-legged Golden Crows, the two of them were completely unable to compare. From beginning to end, they had not even possessed the slightest ability to fight back.
Dijun surveyed the Sun Star with a grim expression and gritted his teeth. "Damn Daoist Tongtian!"
"A portion of the Sun Star's source power is missing."
"That bastard must have done this!"
Taiyi's expression changed in shock as he muttered, "Impossible!"
"No matter how strong that fellow's body is, he could not possibly devour so much Solar True Fire!"
Dijun roared in fury, "He may not be able to absorb the power of so much Solar True Fire, but he can use a spirit treasure to store it temporarily!"
"That bastard must be trying to get back at the two of us."
Taiyi was also enraged when he heard that. "That damned thief!"
"If we encounter him again, we definitely can't let him off so easily."
As they talked, the two made their way toward the Fusang Tree.
Sure enough, more than half of the Fusang Tree was gone, leaving only a stump rooted in the ground.
That only made their rage surge further. That bastard had not even spared the dead wood in their sacred ground!
Utterly insane!
Simply utterly insane!
At that moment, Dijun suddenly had a strange premonition.
He looked toward the center of the Sun Star, a flicker of doubt passing through his eyes.
What was going on? He felt as though he had missed out on some kind of opportunity.
But where could an opportunity possibly come from on the Sun Star?
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Taiyi asked at this point.
Dijun suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice, "No matter how furious we are now, it is useless."
"Let us go cultivate in the Primordial World."
"Once our cultivation breaks through, if we encounter that wretch again, we'll settle both old and new scores with him at once!"
As for cultivating on the Sun Star, neither of them mentioned it.
The Sun Star was simply too desolate.
The Primordial World, overflowing with spiritual energy everywhere, was far more suitable for cultivation.
Of course, the main reason was that they feared running into Tongtian again.
If that fellow had a change of heart and returned to the Sun Star, the two brothers were no match for him right now.
Thus, they did not remain on the Sun Star for long before turning into two streaks of light.
They flew swiftly toward the Primordial World.
On the Taiyin Star, the sisters Xihe and Changxi had also packed everything up.
The three of them then set out for the Primordial World.
It was worth mentioning that, with the sisters' consent, Tongtian successfully took some branches from the Innate Moon Laurel Tree.
Materials for refining artifacts of such a grade were extremely rare even in the Primordial World.
Since he had encountered them, he naturally could not pass them by.
All three were Innate Great Beings, and their flight speed was extremely fast.
Even so, it took them some time before they passed through the Outer Barrier of the Primordial World once more.
It was the first time the two women had come to the Primordial World, and they widened their eyes as they looked around everywhere.
Not wishing to spoil their excitement, Tongtian simply took them sightseeing around Buzhou Mountain first.
"So this is the pillar that holds up the heavens? No wonder it is called the pillar that supports the sky."
"It truly is a magnificent sight!"
Xihe could not help but sigh in admiration.
After circling around Buzhou Mountain, Tongtian took the two women to see the Boundless Four Seas as well.
However, he did not take them directly into the sea.
Given the Dragon Clan's current manhunt for him, if he brought the two women into the sea, the Dragon Clan would probably appear again right after.
After all, his main purpose was to show them the Primordial World, and he did not want to stir up unnecessary trouble.
"The Primordial World truly is boundless!"
The group of three traveled through the Primordial World for a full hundred years.
The two women gained an initial understanding of the Primordial World's vastness and immensity.
Even after flying for a hundred years, they had not taken in all the scenery of the Primordial World.
But for them, it was already an exceptionally rare experience.
It seemed that following Tongtian to the Primordial World had truly been the right choice.
If they had remained on the Taiyin Star, who knew how much scenery they would have missed!
Moreover, over the years, they had witnessed the slaughter between the Three Clans.
It greatly broadened their horizons.
That kept the two of them chatting and laughing all along the way, and Tongtian found the sight pleasing to the eye as well.
Once they had seen enough, Tongtian decided it was time to handle proper business.
