Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Creates the Grand Destiny Art, Shocks Lord Tongtian

The palace gates closed behind them.

Outside Golden Turtle Island, dazzling streams of light continuously shot off in every direction.

The sermon had ended, and the Jie Sect immortals naturally had to return to their caves at once to digest what they had gained from listening to the Dao.

Only then could the benefits be maximized.

This would prevent any mishaps along the way from causing them to forget part of what they had heard.

Otherwise, it would be too late for regrets.

Every sermon Lord Tongtian gave was incomparably precious.

They needed to cherish every rare opportunity.

Compared to those Rogue Cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness who fought to the death over incomplete cultivation techniques or meager resources,

the Jie Sect disciples were practically blessed beyond measure.

If they were still lazy and indifferent despite that, they would truly be hopeless fools, unworthy of cultivation!

"Three sisters, Junior Brother Hongxuan, wait for your brother!"

Hongxuan and the Three Xiao Sisters were about to leave on clouds and return to Three Immortals Island, where the sisters resided.

Before they had even left the bounds of Golden Turtle Island, a hearty voice rang out.

Immediately afterward, Zhao Gongming rode his Black Tiger mount as he swiftly caught up to them.

"Brother, are you planning to return to Three Immortals Island with us?"

"Haha, precisely so. Besides, Junior Brother Hongxuan has just joined the Jie Sect. I should properly welcome him, shouldn't I?!!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Gongming!"

"We're all family here, no need for courtesy. Let's go!"

Hongxuan secretly chuckled.

Zhao Gongming was worried about the Three Xiao Sisters and was on guard against him!

He had clearly come to thoroughly investigate Hongxuan's background.

He wanted to keep his three innocent younger sisters from being deceived by Hongxuan.

As the Three Xiao Sisters' elder brother, Zhao Gongming had never been careless when it came to his sisters.

Hongxuan simply pretended not to know.

This was a good opportunity to foster a better relationship between them.

Thus, Zhao Gongming rode the Black Tiger and led the Three Xiao Sisters and Hongxuan swiftly toward Three Immortals Island.

Partway there, Yunxiao seemed to recall something. She immediately took out two golden fruits and held them out before Zhao Gongming.

"Brother, eat these two fruits first!"

"These fruits smell wonderfully fragrant and radiate an extremely dense life aura. Good stuff!"

"Since they're from my sister, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Zhao Gongming did not doubt her in the slightest and immediately swallowed the two Life Fruits.

Naturally, there was no need to doubt his own sister.

Yunxiao must have done this for his own good.

"Hmm? They can actually strengthen my origin!"

Zhao Gongming's expression changed. He stared at Yunxiao in utter disbelief and cried out.

"I feel that I've taken another step closer to becoming a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Even my potential has increased considerably."

"These fruits are extraordinarily valuable. Yunxiao, you gave something so precious to your brother—what about you?"

Yunxiao shook her head and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry. By chance, we obtained ten of them. There are exactly two for each of the five of us, which is more than enough!"

"If Brother still wants to taste more, you can only have lower-grade Life Fruits."

"Though they taste good, their effects are far inferior to those just now. Still, there are plenty of them."

"Brother, we have Hongxuan to thank for all this. Without him, we would never have had such a treat."

Yunxiao then recounted the entire sequence of events in detail.

She even did not conceal how they had rescued Hongxuan and taught him for a hundred years.

The Three Xiao Sisters had already regarded Hongxuan as family, as one of their own. Naturally, they could not hide this from Zhao Gongming, their elder brother.

That would avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

The Jie Sect disciples helped one another as fellow disciples, but no matter how friendly their relationship was, they could never be as close as family.

Necessary vigilance was still required.

If he did not get to the bottom of Hongxuan's background, then no matter how forthright and magnanimous Zhao Gongming was, he could not rest easy about letting his three sisters stay with Hongxuan.

Sure enough, as Yunxiao told her story,

the way Zhao Gongming looked at Hongxuan changed as well.

At the very least, the hidden concern and vigilance in his eyes completely vanished.

Three Immortals Island.

After the Three Xiao Sisters, Hongxuan, and Zhao Gongming returned, they immediately entered seclusion to digest what they had gained from listening to the Dao.

As for everything else, it could wait until after their seclusion.

Time passed slowly.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Relying on his heaven-defying comprehension, Hongxuan had completely absorbed everything he had gained from the sermon.

His cultivation had reached the absolute limit of True Immortal perfection and could no longer improve.

Hongxuan had originally intended to advance directly to the Profound Immortal realm, but something had always weighed on his mind.

Until he figured it out, he could not truly be at ease.

With a thought,

in the next moment,

light flashed between his brows.

The Eternal Dao Tome appeared in his hand.

Opening its pages, the image of the Destiny Compass once again entered his sight on the first page.

From his observations, Lord Tongtian truly seemed not to have noticed the Destiny Compass's existence.

This made him even more curious and suspicious.

If it could conceal itself even from a Sage, then treating it as merely an ordinary Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure would be truly foolish.

Without hesitation, Hongxuan gathered his focus and began pouring all his efforts into comprehending the Eternal Dao Tome in his hand, as well as the Destiny Compass depicted within its pages.

As time passed,

he went from gaining nothing at first to gradually becoming immersed in it.

Without realizing it,

Hongxuan entered a state of comprehension once more.

You observed the Eternal Dao Tome and the Destiny Compass, comprehended the destiny aura within them, triggered the Heaven-Defying Comprehension talent, and successfully gained insight into a trace of the Law of Destiny!

A profound yet unfathomably mysterious aura of the Law of Destiny surged into his mind.

Even with Hongxuan's comprehension, he was unable to grasp it instantly.

Instead, it took him a long while before he finally succeeded.

Most inconceivably,

even after spending even more time comprehending it, he had not, as before, created a divine ability belonging to the destiny aura.

The more he comprehended it, the more he sensed its complexity, profundity, mystery, and extraordinariness.

"What a wondrous destiny aura. Compared to the life aura and death aura I encountered before, its difficulty is greater by countless times."

"It seems I'll need to spend even more time before I have a chance of succeeding!"

Not only was Hongxuan not discouraged, he became even more resolute.

At the same time, he once again elevated the importance he attached to the Eternal Dao Tome and the Destiny Compass.

He could no longer treat them as ordinary spiritual treasures.
