Supreme-grade Yellow Center Plum! Hongjun?
Only three days have passed.
Ao Changsheng looked at two familiar figures outside the dojo.
"Haotian (Yaochi), Dao Ancestor Hongjun, has come to pay respects to Senior Changsheng!" Outside the Daoist temple, Haotian and Yaochi bowed to the temple at the same time.
"Haotian... Yaochi..."
Ao Changsheng's heart stirred slightly.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the future Heavenly Court?
A thought crossed my mind.
Daoist Sect suddenly opened at the edge of the dojo.
Outside the dojo.
Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance, then stepped into the training ground without hesitation.
I have just entered the dojo.
Unlike the Primordial World Spiritual Qi, the Innate Spiritual Qi that enveloped them caused Haotian and Yaochi to be instantly invigorated.
This familiar feeling of being surrounded by Innate Spiritual Qi reminded the two of their time in the Purple Firmament Palace over countless years.
Then...
Haotian and Yaochi witnessed scenes completely different from the ordinary world they saw from the outside.
Streams of light shot into the sky and spread across billions of miles of land, stirring the Innate Spiritual Qi within the Daoist temple.
The beams of light vary in intensity.
However, both Haotian and Yaochi are at the Quasi-Sage Realm, so they can naturally see that these beams of light are all Innate Spirit Root.
A cursory glance revealed that there were more than a hundred Innate Spirit Root in this training ground.
This quantity...
Even they hadn't seen it in the Purple Firmament Palace!
Haotian and Yaochi gazed at the thickest pillar of light in the center of the distant dojo, sensing the faint aura emanating from it. They exchanged a glance and prepared to fly towards that direction.
But the two had barely set off when the surrounding light flickered, and they found themselves directly beneath the pillar of light.
The sudden change only startled the two of them slightly before they came to their senses.
For the two who had spent most of their lives by the side of a Sage, this was something they hadn't experienced much of, but they had gotten used to it.
From a distance, one could see the pillar of light from the Innate Spirit Root stirring up Innate Spiritual Qi, but now that the distance is closer, the pillar of light can no longer be seen.
Looking up, the first thing that caught my eye was a figure.
A figure in a white robe sat cross-legged.
Strangely enough, the moment Haotian and Yaochi saw this figure, it seemed to fill their vision.
Their astonishing presence made them almost intolerant of anything else.
But in the next instant, it seemed to have no presence at all, even causing Haotian and Yaochi to focus their attention on the Spirit Root behind the figure.
The two of them were momentarily stunned.
This is a tree-shaped Spirit Root, with a powerful, albeit not straight, trunk that reaches straight to the sky, its spreading canopy almost covering the entire island.
However, there are still many of these trees in the Primordial World.
Especially for an Innate Spirit Root, such a performance was already considered low-key, not enough to leave the two of them stunned.
The reason the two looked like this was because they recognized this Spirit Root.
Yellow Center Plum!
Tens of thousands of yuan were collected years ago, before Hongjun became a saint. At that time, they were already following Hongjun.
They had taken care of this Innate Spirit Root before.
Even...
They also ate the fruit of this Yellow Center Plum.
"No wonder I never saw this Yellow Center Plum at the master's place again; it turns out it was with Senior Changsheng."
Haotian and Yaochi immediately felt more confident.
Whether it was a gift or a transaction, since even such a top-grade Innate Spirit Root appeared here, their master and Changsheng must have a good relationship.
"Your Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Haotian (Yaochi), greets Changsheng!" The two bowed respectfully to Ao Changsheng, who was standing under the Yellow Center Plum.
"Hongjun's attendant..."
Ao Changsheng chuckled as he looked at the two people in front of him, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "You two are quite honest."
If it were someone with a poor character, they might even have to claim to be a disciple of Hongjun.
After all, Haotian and Yaochi can indeed be considered disciples of Hongjun.
Haotian and Yaochi stood respectfully before Ao Changsheng with smiles on their faces, but remained silent.
"Speak, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, what brings you to the East Sea to find me?" Ao Changsheng asked directly.
"It's not that Master is looking for Senior Changsheng," Haotian quickly shook his head and said.
"My fellow disciple and I were assigned by the Primordial World to rebuild the Heavenly Court and restore order to the world. We have come here simply to pay our respects to Senior Changsheng."
"Rebuild the Heavenly Court..."
Ao Changsheng was taken aback.
Does Heavenly Court need to be rebuilt now?
His gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction of the Demon Race's Heavenly Court, then instantly returned to his own.
Hmm... the Heavenly Court is in ruins!
Protected by the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, a full one-tenth of the Heavenly River Water still flowed into the Primordial World.
Reconstruction is definitely needed!
"I've entrusted the Heavenly Court to you; Fellow Daoist Hongjun has treated you quite well," Ao Changsheng said softly.
It wasn't that Ao Changsheng was just talking nonsense.
With the Authority of Reincarnation, Ao Changsheng was practically a half- Sage, and naturally had an excellent understanding of the future of the Heavenly Court.
Putting everything else aside, the Spiritual Qi of the Thirty-Six Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, each stronger than the last, is enough to make countless cultivators in the Primordial World envious.
For Quasi-Sage Daluo great Divine Ability, the Heavenly Court was equally attractive.
The few honored positions and Fruit Position within the Heavenly Court, along with the power over heaven and earth, are things that even the Daluo Immortals and Quasi-Sage envy.
Certainly...
Not all Heavenly Court the same.
One is a powerful and well-equipped nation with numerous Quasi-Sage and hundreds of millions of demon soldiers and generals, yet it only occupies the Heavenly Realm and controls the stars.
The only Sage was not physically present, nor was his mind there.
Moreover, there was the Heavenly Court, an enemy faction of the Witch Race, which had occupied the Primordial World land.
The other one had Dao Ancestor Hongjun standing behind him, with various Sage accompanying him.
The Heavenly Court, which occupies the Three Realms and Six Paths and governs the Primordial World, has virtually no rivals except for some minor demons and monsters.
Can these be considered the same?
Of course they can't be the same.
Especially since the Heavenly Court 'Investiture of the Gods had not yet been published, going to the Heavenly Court to cultivate was definitely a good thing.
If Ao Changsheng hadn't been all alone since his transmigration, he probably would have sent his disciple to the Heavenly Court to register his name.
"Since rebuilding the Heavenly Court is a matter of great benefit to the Primordial World, I cannot stand idly by. Therefore, I will bestow this item upon the two of you!"
Ao Changsheng suddenly changed the subject, and with a wave of his hand, two plums flew down from the Yellow Center Plum tree behind him.
"This item is probably familiar to both of you," Ao Changsheng said with a smile.
"Changsheng... this..." Haotian and Yaochi were both stunned when they saw the fruit in front of them, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on their faces.
If it were any other Quasi-Sage here, they might secretly think Ao Changsheng was stingy for giving them two fruits.
After all, although the Yellow Center Plum is a top-grade Innate Spirit Root, one or two fruits are simply tasteless and a pity to throw away for a Quasi-Sage.
But the two of them are different.
This Spirit Root, the Yellow Center Plum, was once in the hands of Hongjun, and they had cared for it for many years. They knew the Yellow Center Plum very well.
They could recognize the fruit at a glance.
This is not Yellow Center Plum over 30,000 years, but rather nine Yellow Center Plum over an entire era.
Anyone who eats this fruit will instantly attain the status of Daluo.
Furthermore, refining it can repair one's foundation and increase one's potential, especially for those at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.
To put it bluntly, the foundation and potential of Daluo Golden Immortal depend entirely on the Three Flowers Atop the Head.
A single Yellow Center Plum can unconditionally increase one's rank Three Flowers Atop the Head the highest level, reaching the twelfth rank, thus revealing one's potential for enlightenment.
This is... the truly miraculous effect of the top-grade Innate Spirit Root, the Yellow Center Plum!
"Changsheng, this is far too precious; we cannot accept it!"
Although they desperately wanted to accept the fruit, Haotian and Yaochi both quickly shook their heads and refused.
"If it's a gift, then accept it!" Ao Changsheng's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable tone.
"Yes!"
Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance before stepping forward to catch it.
Ao Changsheng nodded and looked at the two of them again, saying, "Regarding your reconstruction of the Heavenly Court, I have one more piece of advice for you."
"As disciples of Hongjun, you already possess the greatest backing in the Primordial World."
"Besides fulfilling your duties, the Heavenly Court, whether it's power or glory, is merely a place for cultivation for you."
"Don't forget."
Haotian and Yaochi both seemed to be deep in thought when they heard Ao Changsheng's words. Before they knew it, they had already appeared outside the Daoist temple.
Coming to their senses, the two bowed respectfully towards the temple, thanked the temple staff, and then turned to leave.
Inside the temple.
Watching the two depart, Ao Changsheng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, would you mind showing yourself for a moment?"
