Defying Comprehension, Creating the Grand Destiny Art, Shocking Lord Tongtian

He felt the vast elemental energies of water, fire, and wood filling his kidneys, heart, and liver.

The Water Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, and Wood Spirit Pearl had also merged into them respectively.

Water generated wood, and wood generated fire.

That was why the fusion had proceeded so smoothly over the past several thousand years.

Next, he had to find the Earth Spirit Pearl and merge it into his spleen, forming earth elemental energy.

Then he had to find the Metal Spirit Pearl and merge it into his lungs, forming metal elemental energy.

Achieving a perfect mutually generating cycle would mean true completion.

The Grand Unity Dao Fruit would then be within reach.

Only then would he be qualified to advance toward the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Of course.

That was merely theory. In actual cultivation, he would still encounter all manner of problems.

They would need to be resolved one by one.

If he failed to do so, he would remain forever at the Grand Golden Immortal realm.

There would be no further possibility of breakthrough.

For now, his most urgent task was still to find the Metal and Earth Spirit Pearls.

They were the most basic necessary conditions.

"It's time to leave seclusion!"

"Hongxuan, congratulations on advancing to the late stage of the Grand Golden Immortal realm. The Grand Luo realm awaits you!"

"Indeed. Perhaps it won't be long before you surpass the three of us sisters!"

"Hmph, that hateful Hongxuan! You don't even know to go easy on us!"

When they saw Hongxuan arrive, the Three Xiao Sisters smiled, genuinely happy for him.

Of course, each of them offered her congratulations differently, in her own distinctive way.

"Sister Yunxiao, Sister Qiong Xiao, Sister Bixiao, it has been several thousand years. I hope you have all been well!"

Bixiao rolled her eyes. How could anything happen when they were in their own home?

Ever since Hongxuan had advanced to the Grand Golden Immortal realm, he had noticed a new change in the Three Xiao Sisters' attitude toward him.

It was not that they had grown distant.

Rather, now that their cultivation and strength were comparable, they had begun to share common topics.

Before, although the Three Xiao Sisters had done their utmost to care for Hongxuan.

His strength had been too low, after all, and the Three Xiao Sisters had treated him as someone vulnerable.

They could not maintain an equal mindset.

But now, things had subtly changed.

Hongxuan was very pleased by this change.

In his heart, he had always firmly believed that he should be the one protecting the Three Xiao Sisters.

Not the Three Xiao Sisters protecting him.

That absolutely could not be reversed.

Just then, Ao Ling'er stepped forward from the side. Without the slightest sense of unfamiliarity, she smiled brightly and bowed respectfully.

"Your disciple, Ao Ling'er, greets Master!"

Hongxuan gave her a deep look, then nodded. "No need for such formalities. We do not stand on ceremony on the island!"

Even now, he still had not figured out why Ao Ling'er had carried such dense death tribulation aura back then.

It had definitely not formed after birth.

She had possessed it from birth.

As cautious as Hongxuan was, it was difficult for him not to overthink it.

He had even begun to suspect Ao Ling'er's true identity.

Princess of the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan was merely one of them.

There had to be an even deeper identity hidden beneath it.

Even if Ao Ling'er herself did not know, that did not mean it did not exist.

However, Hongxuan had not developed any ill intent toward Ao Ling'er because of his suspicions.

He was not so petty.

Since he had accepted her as his disciple, he would teach her properly.

"This disciple must also thank Master for saving my life before."

"If not for Master, Ling'er would likely have already perished, body and soul."

"Perhaps this is the fate between us!"

Hongxuan shook his head and sighed.

Fate was so profoundly mysterious. The deeper Hongxuan's comprehension became, the more he sensed its vastness and profundity.

Ao Ling'er giggled.

As though she had remembered something, she immediately took out a mysterious green seed.

She held it out before Hongxuan.

"Master, Father King asked Ling'er to give this to you, as thanks for saving Ling'er's life!"

"What is this?"

Hongxuan narrowed his eyes.

The Eastern Sea Dragon King was giving him another gift?

The Twelve Sea-Quelling Pearls last time had already been precious enough.

The mysterious seed this time radiated an extraordinary aura.

It was surely an exceedingly valuable treasure.

Could the Eastern Sea Dragon King really be so generous?

Did he have no other purpose?

Hongxuan was considering whether to accept it.

After all, their transaction had long since ended.

Saving Ao Ling'er had been part of his duty.

If he accepted another gift now, would he not owe the Dragon Clan a favor?

His favors were extremely valuable.

A mere seed could not compare.

Just as Hongxuan was about to refuse, his expression suddenly changed.

He immediately changed his mind.

He casually accepted the mysterious seed.

"Ling'er, when you have the chance, thank the Eastern Sea Dragon King properly on my behalf!"

"Consider it a karmic debt I owe the Dragon King!"

"What exactly is this mysterious seed?"

"A seed from some supreme-grade spiritual root?"

Glancing at Ao Ling'er in the distance as she received guidance from the Three Xiao Sisters, Hongxuan was filled with uncertainty.

Since the Eastern Sea Dragon King had personally sent Ao Ling'er to deliver it, he surely knew that the seed's value was anything but ordinary.

Yet he was unable to bring out its greatest effect.

If Hongxuan successfully planted it, he would surely owe the Dragon Clan a favor.

Should the Dragon Clan encounter danger in the future, he certainly would not stand idly by.

Conversely, if he failed, the Dragon Clan would lose nothing.

As for Hongxuan, he would only blame himself for lacking sufficient fate and missing the opportunity. He would not blame the Dragon Clan without reason.

He might even still owe the Dragon Clan a favor.
