At this moment, Duobao Daoren could no longer worry about anything else. If he lost to Hong Ze this time, he would become the laughingstock of the Jie Sect.
Therefore, Duobao Daoren had no choice but to gamble everything on a single throw. Even if the consequences were grave, he had no mind to consider them.
Little did he know that Pi Lu Xian and Chang Er Ding Guang Xian were already secretly overjoyed.
In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed. The Three Xiao Maidens had been protecting Zhao Gongming all this time.
That day, Zhao Gongming suddenly opened his eyes and let out a hearty laugh.
Looking at him now, Dao charm flowed around Zhao Gongming's body. The Three Flowers gathered atop his head, and Five Qi Revolved to the Origin within his abdomen. He had already attained the Grand Luo Dao Fruit.
Because Zhao Gongming had grasped the Law of Tranquility, his strength now far surpassed that of Golden Spirit Mother and the other two.
Moreover, Zhao Gongming no longer appeared as sharp and exposed as before. Instead, he seemed plain and unadorned.
Bi Xiao could not help revealing a delighted expression. She immediately stepped forward and spoke to Zhao Gongming.
"Brother, you have finally become a Great Luo Golden Immortal. And I feel that your strength is far above Senior Sister Jin Ling and the others."
Zhao Gongming smiled and nodded. "It was all thanks to Eldest Senior Brother. Without him, how could I, Zhao Gongming, have comprehended the Law of Tranquility?"
When she heard that Zhao Gongming had actually comprehended the Law of Tranquility, Yun Xiao's face instantly filled with disbelief.
"Brother, did you say that you comprehended Law Power?"
What was Law Power?
It was an absolute power that only Saints could comprehend.
Even Quasi-Saints could not touch the slightest trace of laws.
Yet Zhao Gongming was merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he had already mastered Law Power. How could Yun Xiao not be shocked?
Seeing Zhao Gongming smile and nod, Yun Xiao finally confirmed that she had not misheard.
She immediately asked again, "Brother, quickly tell us in detail what exactly you experienced with Eldest Senior Brother."
Zhao Gongming rose to his feet, and raging flames instantly burst forth across his entire body.
Zhao Gongming had always been refining the corpses of the Nine Golden Crows, and Yun Xiao and the others naturally knew this very well.
At first, they thought Zhao Gongming had refined the Nine Golden Crows' corpses into a magic treasure capable of releasing Sun True Fire.
But Yun Xiao discovered that the flames burning around Zhao Gongming were not Sun True Fire.
This left her somewhat puzzled.
"Brother, the flames burning on your body are not Sun True Fire, yet their power seems no weaker than Sun True Fire."
"Yun Xiao, you truly have sharp eyes. The flames burning on me are indeed not Sun True Fire.
"These flames were bestowed upon me by Eldest Senior Brother. They are the Nirvana Fire of the Phoenix Clan.
"Now, I, Zhao Gongming, possess the ability of phoenix nirvana..."
Afterward, Zhao Gongming told his three younger sisters everything he had experienced with Hong Ze in great detail.
The Three Xiao Maidens were utterly shocked by what they heard. They even began to suspect that Zhao Gongming was exaggerating.
"Is Eldest Senior Brother truly so mysterious? Then why is he so low-key? Could it really be for the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly?"
Now even Bi Xiao was beginning to doubt whether her original judgment had been correct.
Since she could not figure it out, she might as well go see for herself. After all, seeing was believing.
Thus, just as Bi Xiao finished speaking, her figure flashed, and she had already arrived outside the cave dwelling.
She mounted her Flower Feather Bird and flew directly toward Golden Turtle Island.
At the same time, she did not forget to say to her eldest sister, Yun Xiao, "Eldest Sister, I'm going to take a look at Eldest Senior Brother's place."
Qiong Xiao was also eager to try. She was only short of summoning her Swan Goose and chasing after Bi Xiao.
Seeing Qiong Xiao's eagerness, Yun Xiao naturally understood what she was thinking and waved her hand at her.
"Second Sister, do not be impatient. If the three of us sisters go to see Eldest Senior Brother together, it may not be a wise choice."
Zhao Gongming nodded after hearing this. "Yun Xiao is right. Eldest Senior Brother is a low-key person.
"He does not want others to know of his extraordinary nature.
"So we must make everything appear natural. Otherwise, if we provoke Eldest Senior Brother's displeasure, it will not be easy to obtain opportunities from him in the future."
Qiong Xiao nodded after hearing this, silently blaming herself for letting Bi Xiao seize the initiative first.
However, it was only a passing thought and would not affect the relationship between the sisters.
Seeing that Qiong Xiao had given up on chasing Bi Xiao, Zhao Gongming nodded in relief.
"Eldest Senior Brother said that there are two people on Mount Wuyi who are fated to meet me, and he told me to find time to take them as my disciples.
"A hundred years have already passed. I must now head to Mount Wuyi, lest I miss the opportunity Eldest Senior Brother spoke of."
After speaking, he pointed ahead.
A pitch-black ferocious tiger appeared before Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming mounted the black tiger, bid farewell to Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao, then left Three Immortal Island and headed toward Mount Wuyi.
Leaving aside Zhao Gongming's journey to Mount Wuyi, Bi Xiao hurried all the way to Golden Turtle Island.
This time, Bi Xiao did not go see anyone. Instead, she headed directly toward the back mountain of Golden Turtle Island.
Before long, Bi Xiao arrived outside Hong Ze's small courtyard and happened to see him busily working inside.
Bi Xiao remembered Zhao Gongming's words clearly. She knew that every movement made by this Eldest Senior Brother of hers contained Great Dao Essence.
Therefore, Bi Xiao did not disturb Hong Ze. She merely stood outside the courtyard and watched quietly.
Hong Ze was slowly adding soaked soybeans into the stone mill, then urging Little Donkey to grind them.
Fresh soy milk continuously flowed from the stone mill, putting Hong Ze in an exceptionally good mood.
"They say Golden Turtle Island is a Saint's sacred ground, yet it takes several hundred years for beans to flower and bear fruit.
"It took nearly a thousand years just to produce this tiny amount.
"Still, late is better than never. At last, I can have a cup of hot soy milk and a serving of spicy tofu."
Hong Ze muttered softly as he continuously fed soybeans into the stone mill until the very last one.
Then he stood and patted Little Donkey, who was turning the millstone. "You worked hard this time. I'll give you some tofu dregs later so you can try something fresh."
With that, he untied the rope from Little Donkey and let him walk back to his own donkey pen.
However, Hong Ze did not know that Little Donkey was grumbling nonstop in his heart as he walked.
"I am, after all, a dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet Master actually has me going in circles here, turning a millstone.
"Still, compared to those hens, I'm rather fortunate. At least I don't have to lay eggs for Master to eat."
Hong Ze could not hear Little Donkey's thoughts. He was collecting the soy milk he had made.
Then, humming a little tune, he walked toward his Thatched Cottage.
Bi Xiao had witnessed the entire process, and a great storm had already risen in her heart.
Unable to control herself, she walked into Hong Ze's small courtyard and continued secretly observing his every move.
