The Fortuitous Opportunity's Rewards! An Excited Cult Master Tongtian

"Here it is..."

Jinling awoke from her unconscious state, looking completely bewildered.

She remembered that just now, the oppressive force emanating from the surrounding void had grown stronger and stronger, and... that force was extremely strange.

Simply relying on Law Power to withstand the pressure is almost the same as enduring the oppressive force of unleashing Divine Ability Great Dao.

As for how Jinling knew this...

Of course, it was the Three Xiaos who was half-conscious from the oppressive force emanating from the void, who was discovered by her after she stopped using her protective Divine Ability.

Logically speaking, the pressure that the Three Xiaos needed to fully activate their protective divine Divine Ability to withstand would have been enough to kill them the moment their protective divine Divine Ability stopped.

However, the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao showed no abnormalities whatsoever; they did not explode or perish.

The Three Xiaos, who were only half-conscious, had become even paler.

"Oh, right..."

Jinling suddenly realized what was happening.

The oppressive force of the surrounding void grew stronger and stronger, and she seemed to have fallen into a semi-conscious state, just like the Three Xiaos.

But now...

Jinling suddenly woke up, abruptly raised her head, opened her eyes, and looked at the strange, shimmering space around her.

In that instant.

Jinling her cultivator's instincts, Jin Ling suddenly looked in the direction to her right.

That is...

"The Great Dao of the Stars?"

With just one glance, Jinling recognized the true nature of the seemingly flashy flowing light, and then seized the opportunity to focus on it.

They didn't even realize they had disappeared into that mystical space.

As the reincarnation of the Innate Divine Beings Dipper Mother of the Kan Palace, although she has not awakened her memories, she still instinctively cultivated the Great Dao of the Stars during her cultivation.

At this point...

This is also why Jinling was able to attain Quasi-Sage after regaining her Innate Divine Beings identity Dipper Mother of the Kan Palace.

Moreover, even if Jinling did not instinctively choose to cultivate the Great Dao of the Stars, the Cult Master Tongtian would probably not allow it.

When the Cult Master Tongtian accepted Jinling as his disciple, he already knew his disciple's identity.

Naturally, the Cult Master Tongtian would never allow Jinling to abandon the Great Dao of the Stars and instead cultivate other Great Dao.

"What an exquisite Great Dao of the Stars..."

Jinling was captivated by the allure of that single glance.

Logically speaking, when Jinling achieved the Perfection Daluo, he should have fully comprehended the Great Dao of the Stars.

Even at the Quasi-Sage, he merely severed his Three Corpses, allowing his Primordial Spirit to become more aligned with the Great Dao of the Stars, thus unleashing a thousandfold increase in power.

But at this moment...

Jinling suddenly realized that there were so many things in the Great Dao of the Stars that she did not understand.

Opening her eyes, Jinling's eyes seemed to sparkle with billions of stars.

At this moment, Jinling's Great Dao of the Stars did not achieve any qualitative breakthrough.

There is no mistake in the fact that the Perfection Daluo means that one has fully comprehended a Great Dao.

Even if Jinling changes his path at this time and embarks on the path of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, it is only to delve deeper into the Great Dao of the Stars.

It's simply a matter of adapting the Great Dao of the Stars to better suit oneself according to one's own will, but the Great Dao of the Stars is ultimately still the same Great Dao of the Stars.

Moreover, Jinling has not yet embarked on the path of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

Although that glimpse of the Great Dao of the Stars in the cycle of reincarnation gave Jinling some enlightenment.

But ultimately, it's impossible for a single glance to make Jinling change his current Dao of Severing the Three Corpses to the path of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

But...

Having ventured deeper into the Great Dao of the Stars and witnessed the more profound light of the stars, Jinling's heart was probably no longer content to remain on the surface of the Great Dao of the Stars.

Of course, this is just a seed; as for when it will sprout... that depends on Jinling herself.

Completely snapping out of the reverie of that fleeting glimpse of reincarnation, Jinling didn't rush to organize her gains, but instead quickly looked around.

Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, the Three Xiaos, were positioned beside her, their eyes hazy, clearly immersed in some strange state.

Having just awakened from that state, Jinling naturally wouldn't disturb the Three Xiaos, but...

Where is Guiling?

Jinling's expression changed slightly. He used his divine sense to bypass the Three Xiaos and swept across billions of miles in an instant, but... he found nothing.

No, it can't be said that we gained nothing, it's just that... we didn't find any trace of the Guiling.

To the southwest of the island where they were standing, a gigantic peach tree spanning thousands of miles was discovered.

Not far from them, they found a familiar yet strange place called the Gates of Ghost Gate Pass.

The familiarity stemmed from the fact that the other end of this Ghost Gate Pass led directly to the Netherworld Underworld, while the unfamiliarity arose from the fact that this gate was not the one they had traversed before.

"This... this is the East Sea?"

Jinling stared blankly as she sensed the familiar aura of the East Sea surrounding her.

Although...

They traveled from the East Sea to the Netherworld Blood Sea, and entered the Netherworld Underworld, but... how did they end up back in the East Sea?

And... what about Guiling?

Of course, Jinling wasn't too worried about Guiling's safety.

As a close friend, Jinling was quite confident in her sister Guiling's combat strength, saying that she was invincible below the level of Sage.

However, those below the level of Sage would absolutely not pose any harm to the Guiling.

As for the existence of the Sage, he intervened against Jinling.

The Elder Changsheng of the East Sea and the Saint Emperor Fuxi of the Human Race are watching you closely!

"So... it's the fortuitous opportunity belonging to the Guiling that we can't enter?"

Jinling made a guess in her mind.

Although she didn't know what kind of test Guiling's teacher had set up, the difficulty of traversing the void before was definitely severe.

If this doesn't count as completing the test, then...

You guessed right!

The sudden sound disrupted Jinling's train of thought.

A graceful figure appeared behind the Ghost Gate Pass not far away, separated by a portal filled with pitch-black ghostly energy.

The figure wasn't clearly visible.

But with just one glance, Jinling recognized the figure. Who else could it be but 'Houtu' who had spoken to them in the Underworld?

"Greetings, Lady Houtu."

Jinling immediately bowed and greeted them without hesitation.

"No need for formalities," Houtu said softly from behind the Houtu of Ghost Gate Pass.

"The place your friend is going to next is extremely secretive in the Primordial World; even Sage don't know everything about it."

"Changsheng paid a great price to allow her to enter alone, but you... cannot go in."

"Lady Houtu, is that Guiling... in danger?" Jinling asked hurriedly.

"You certainly care about your friend. Don't worry, the test is over. From now on, there will only be fortuitous opportunity, no danger..." Houtu said with a light laugh.

Hearing Houtu say this, Jinling still breathed a sigh of relief, even though he had already guessed that Guiling was unlikely to be in danger.

"Alright! Instead of worrying about your friends, what you should be doing now is consolidating what you've already learned, absorbing it all, and reflecting on it. Who knows... we might one day stand shoulder to shoulder again."

Houtu said softly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lady Houtu."

Jinling bowed once more in gratitude.

After Jinling got up, Ghost Gate Pass was no longer seen behind the Gates of Houtu.

At this moment.

The Three Xiaos immortals then slowly woke up.

"Mmm..."

Upon regaining consciousness, the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao initially appeared bewildered, but immediately became alert.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jinling.

"Senior Sister Jinling, where is this place?" Yunxiao asked softly.

"We've returned to the East Sea," Jinling explained.

"East Sea?"

The Three Xiaos were all stunned, clearly not having reacted yet.

They were just under pressure, heading towards that mysterious place beneath the Underworld, so how did they suddenly appear in the East Sea?

"Wait, where's Guiling?" Qiongxiao suddenly asked from the side.

Yunxiao and Bixiao looked around and then realized that there were only the four of them on the island.

Guiling is not here!

"Guiling is receiving fortuitous opportunity prepared for her by Changsheng," Jinling explained.

However, not much was said.

As Houtu said before, that hidden place is a top secret in the Primordial World, and even the Sage do not know it all.

The three Daluo Golden Immortal from Three Xiaos were still...

Etc...

"Perfection Daluo Golden Immortal?"

Jinling stared in shock at the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao before her.

Yunxiao, who was originally in the Late Daluo Golden Immortal realm, has now reached the Perfection Daluo realm.

Qiongxiao and Yunxiao, who were originally only at the Middle Daluo, have now... reached the Perfection Daluo realm.

He leaped across two minor realms in one go.

This isn't something like Earth Immortal Heavenly Immortal; a rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures can span several minor realms, or even major realms.

While cultivation level and magical Law Power are important for advancing to the Daluo Golden Immortal level, the most crucial factor is still the understanding of the Great Dao.

The leap from the Middle Daluo to the Perfection Daluo means that Qiongxiao and Bixiao went from having only comprehended half of the Great Dao to having directly achieved perfect comprehension of a Great Dao.

This...

It should be noted that before she and Guiling brought the Three Xiaos out this time, Yunxiao, whose cultivation was the highest, was only at the Middle Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao are both at the Early Daluo Golden Immortal!

It hasn't been that long.

Back then...

How long did it take her to go from the Early Daluo Golden Immortal to the peak of the Perfection Daluo Golden Immortal realm?

And how long did it take for the Three Xiaos to complete their mission?

Even though she herself had gained a lot this time, Jinling couldn't help but feel a little sour at this moment.

The Three Xiaos of Sanxiao had clearly also noticed the changes in their own cultivation levels.

Disbelief was written on everyone's face.

The state of Perfection Daluo realm.

Just a few days ago, they were all at the Early Daluo realm, at least several hundred or several thousand eons away from the perfect realm.

But now...

"Am I dreaming?" Qiongxiao exclaimed in disbelief.

The fact that even the usually quiet and reserved fairy Qiongxiao could utter such words shows just how profound the impact of this event was on them.

"You weren't dreaming... You're now at the peak of the Perfection Daluo Golden Immortal realm. Go back and eat more spiritual fruits to hone your magical Law Power, and then you can begin working on breaking through to Quasi-Sage."

Jinling quickly adjusted her mindset and congratulated her junior sisters.

Although their senior sister Jinling had said so, the Three Xiaos were still bewildered and incredulous.

Just as the Three Xiaos were about to say something...

A majestic voice, seemingly descending from the heavens, reached their ears.

"All disciples of the Jie Sect, heed my command! The Immortal Slaughter Tribulation is imminent. All disciples must seclude yourselves for arduous cultivation, silently reciting the Yellow Court. After the great calamity, you may emerge from seclusion and roam the Primordial World."

Jinling suddenly looked up at the sky, surprised, and exclaimed, "That's... Master's voice!"

The Three Xiaos beside them did the same, each disregarding the changes in their cultivation levels, their eyes revealing astonishment.

"The Immortal Slaughter Tribulation is approaching? What is the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation?" Bixiao muttered to herself, looking puzzled.

She searched through her already limited knowledge base for the four words "Immortal Slaughter Tribulation".

But without a doubt...

Nothing was found.

Not only Bixiao, but also Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and even Jinling, who were standing to the side, had doubts in their hearts.

And at this moment...

"Finally found you all, where are you going... Alas, Perfection Daluo-- "

Just like the sudden sound before, Tongtian's voice rang out once again in the ears of Jinling and the Three Xiaos.

But...

"Was that 'Alas!'... Master, were you serious?"

Jinling looked embarrassed.

At the same time, I felt a little calmer.

After all, even her master was startled, so wasn't her previous shock and sourness perfectly normal?

The next moment.

Tongtian seemed to realize what he had just said and remained silent for a long time.

After a few breaths.

A divine light descended from the sky, enveloping Jinling and the Three Xiaos.

The next moment.

Jinling and the Three Xiaos, who were nowhere in the East Sea, appeared at the Daoist temple of Cult Master Tongtian, Golden Turtle Island, Biyou Palace.

Although the changes around them were somewhat sudden, the reaction speed of a Quasi-Sage and three Perfection Daluo was still very fast.

Jinling and the Three Xiaos immediately bowed to Cult Master Tongtian, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed in the Biyou Palace, and performed the disciple's salute.

"Disciple Jinling."

"Disciple Yunxiao."

"Disciple Qiongxiao."

"Disciple Bixiao."

"Greetings, Master!"

"Um!"

"Tell me your experiences in detail!"

On the cloud bed, the Cult Master Tongtian nodded, his face expressionless, neither happy nor sad, his demeanor calm. If it weren't for the voice he hadn't forgotten a few breaths earlier...

Jinling might actually believe it.

However, Jinling did not hesitate for long before recounting her experience to the Cult Master Tongtian.

After all, although this involved some secrets, there was nothing shameful about it.

Jinling naturally had no reason to hide it.

Listening to Jinling's account, the Cult Master Tongtian on the cloud bed nodded in agreement, a subtle glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't too surprised that Jinling and the Three Xiaos had been in the Underworld.

When he sent a telepathic message to the Primordial World before, he couldn't find his four disciples, so he roughly guessed what was going on.

After all, there are only a handful of places in the Primordial World that can block his ability to transmit sound.

"I see..."

After listening to Jinling recount the whole story, the first thought that came to the Cult Master Tongtian was...

Changsheng has really strong connections... even the Underworld's Pingxin gives him face.

The second thought was that the Changsheng was truly generous, actually arranging fortuitous opportunity for his disciples in a hidden place in the Underworld.

Although even the Cult Master Tongtian did not know what the hidden place of the Underworld was.

But that's precisely what shocked him!

Then the third thought was that his own senior brother's disciple was really reckless, daring to venture into the Underworld even as Daluo Immortal.

And finally, the culprit behind this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation seems to have been found...

He ventured into the Underworld to rescue his mother, whose name was Yaoji...

If all this information were taken together, even the Cult Master Tongtian wouldn't understand how his senior brother had schemed against Haotian.

Then he shouldn't be Heavenly Dao Sage anymore.

"The Three Xiaos..." The Cult Master Tongtian looked down at the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao and spoke calmly.

"Although you all had the fortuitous opportunity to break through to the Perfection Daluo this time, your progress was ultimately too rapid."

"You can take these spiritual fruits and divide them among yourselves, to hone your Law Power."

"It's not just your Law Power that needs honing; you also need to carefully comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao. Don't rush to break through to Quasi-Sage; hone your skills properly at the Perfection Daluo Realm."

Dozens of Innate spiritual fruits, emitting a faint spiritual light, appeared before the Three Xiaos.

"Thank you, Master."

All Three Xiaos responded to the Dao.

"Jinling, you too. Although your gains from this fortuitous opportunity seem modest, I can sense that you are currently at a crucial juncture."

Go back and carefully reflect on what you've learned this time.

The Cult Master Tongtian spoke again, addressing Jinling.

However, no treasures were bestowed this time.

After all, Jinling was already Quasi-Sage, a powerful being who could support himself, and did not need his master to worry about him too much.

As for the Guiling...

This just goes to show how important a master's status is.

"It's Master!"

Jinling showed no disappointment, but respectfully replied.

Then, Jinling and the Three Xiaos withdrew together.

As Jinling left Biyou Palace, she didn't know why, but she subconsciously paused, slowing her pace slightly.

And at that very moment...

Jinling heard... the excited laughter of the Cult Master Tongtian.

"Haha! My Jie Sect has gained three more quasi- Quasi-Sage. Next time we meet, let's see if you, Yuanshi, still dare to say that my Jie Sect doesn't distinguish between those with fur and horns, and those born from moisture and eggs."

(Celestial Venerable Yuanshi: "...")
