Why Not Let Senior Guide the Three Xiaos?

As Zhao Gongming thought this, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a look of shock flashed across his face.

But on second thought, Senior had never been an ordinary cultivator.

He was most likely a reclusive saint.

Perhaps, in Senior's eyes, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were not much of a treasure!

After all, a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was nothing more than a stepping stone in Senior's hands.

So what he had just done did not seem so hard to accept after all.

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

Zhao Gongming could not help letting out a long sigh as he slowly withdrew his gaze.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly glimpsed several figures in the sky, speeding toward the Interception Sect.

"I've already spent half a day here. I need to hurry back."

Zhao Gongming muttered to himself.

His figure flashed.

And he headed straight for Jin'ao Island, where the Interception Sect was.

But...

Before he had gone far,

Ahead of him,

Three figures wreathed in misty Qi came speeding toward him.

Each of them carried an imposing presence.

They were several times stronger than the other disciples.

They flew in from the distance and stopped right in front of Zhao Gongming.

Once the three had come to a halt, the misty Qi surrounding them slowly dispersed.

Revealing three beautiful, lovely women.

They were none other than the Interception Sect's Three Xiaos: Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao.

Yunxiao stood at the front, clad in a snow-white, one-piece Daoist dress that outlined her alluring figure. But her slender brows were slightly furrowed above her somewhat seductive face, touched with worry.

Behind her, Bixiao wore a jade-green Daoist robe. Her flawless, beautiful oval face was gentle as water.

Qiongxiao, standing at the back, was the shortest, with the cute appearance of a little girl.

Her large, shifty eyes darted from side to side, and a hint of amusement flashed through them.

At that moment,

Upon seeing Zhao Gongming, they dipped in a slight curtsy to him.

"Greetings, senior brother."

Seeing the three women, Zhao Gongming could not help smiling faintly.

He then looked them up and down. When he noticed the worried looks on their faces and their slightly furrowed brows, he asked suspiciously,

"My three sisters, have you run into some difficulty in your cultivation?"

Hearing the concern in Zhao Gongming's voice,

Yunxiao and Bixiao were both slightly taken aback.

"Senior brother, we have indeed encountered some obstacles."

"We have been stuck at Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal for a long time now, and we still haven't found an opportunity to break through."

"The Investiture of the Gods Calamity is approaching, and now Master has ordered us back to the sect."

"Clearly, something important has happened in the sect."

"If we cannot break through, we cannot contribute to the Interception Sect or help ease Master's worries."

"We truly have no face to see Master."

Seeing them speak like this,

Zhao Gongming smiled and said,

"It's all right."

"There is still a little time before the Investiture of the Gods Calamity. You can take your time looking for an opportunity to break through."

"Rushing may not be a good thing."

"As for the Interception Sect's safety, with Master here, what do we have to fear?"

Hearing Zhao Gongmin's words of comfort,

Yunxia and Bixiao both forced a smile.

Clearly,

Zhao Gongming's words had not made them feel any better.

Seeing the Three Xiaos react this way,

An idea occurred to Zhao Gongming.

"How long have you been stuck at Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal?"

Yunxiao said helplessly, "Don't laugh at us, senior brother, but it has been hundreds of thousands of years."

"During those hundreds of thousands of years, we also sought Master's guidance, but Master only said we had to comprehend it ourselves."

"We have spent hundreds of thousands of years trying to comprehend it, yet we still haven't had a sudden insight into an opportunity to break through."

"Could it be that we will be stuck in the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm for the rest of our lives, unable to advance?"

Seeing how dejected they were,

Zhao Gongming could not help shouting, "Nonsense!"

"You have profound foundations. Your future achievements will likely go beyond attaining the Daluo Golden Immortal rank. You may even step into the Quasi-Saint realm!"

"Mind your words!"

Seeing them lower their heads, Zhao Gongming sighed.

He felt somewhat helpless himself.

Breaking through from Primordial Unity Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal

Might look like a difference of only one major realm,

But within it lay countless minor realms.

Upon becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal, one could have the three flowers gather at the crown and the five Qi return to their origin.

To achieve this, one needed a pure mind and an understanding of one's own Dao.

Only then could one attain Great Luo.

And that was extremely difficult.

The requirement of a pure mind alone barred more than eighty percent of the living beings in the Primordial World.

Any inner demon or karmic hindrance would become an obstacle to breaking through to Great Luo!

Even he had wasted a long time before he had barely managed to break through to Great Luo.

He did not know how to guide them in such matters, either.

To break through to Daluo Golden Immortal, one had to have an opportunity...

That opportunity was truly hard to find.

Nor had they met a mighty figure like Senior, who could point it out in a single sentence...

If only the Three Xiaos could meet an enlightened expert to guide them...

Huh?

Wait?!

What am I thinking?!

Couldn't I just take the Three Xiaos to see Senior?!

This thought flashed through his mind.

Zhao Gongming's eyes flickered, and he thought it could work.

Senior was easy to talk to and mild-mannered, and his three junior sisters were exceptionally fresh and pretty. Presumably, he would not mind.

With that thought,

Zhao Gongming said to Yunxiao and the other two,

"My three junior sisters."

"I can take you to see an expert."

"Perhaps he can provide you with an opportunity."

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words,

Yunxiao and the other two were stunned and looked at him in surprise.

"Senior brother, even Master could not offer us any insight."

"Can the person you're talking about do it?"

It was no wonder Yunxiao doubted it.

Their master Tongtian's strength could be said to be the greatest among the saints of the Primordial World.

And Master had an extremely high aptitude for comprehension.

If even Master could not give them an answer, then there could be no one else in the entire Primordial World who could.

But Zhao Gongming simply smiled when he heard them and did not mind in the least.

"Believe me or not."

"Let's return to the sect first. After we have seen Master,"

"I'll take you to broaden your horizons."

With that, Zhao Gongming's figure flashed, and he turned into a streak of light, flying off into the distance.

Watching Zhao Gongming's departing figure,

The Three Xiaos exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of helplessness in the others' eyes.

"Senior brother was probably just trying to comfort us."

"Yes. Who could be called an expert before Master?"

"Forget it. Let's stop thinking about it and hurry back to the sect to see Master."

As they spoke,

Their graceful bodies turned,

And they too vanished from the spot.
