Lady Nüwa Got the Wrong Idea!

Deep within Chaos Heaven, at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall.

Lin Yunji soon arrived before the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall with the Three Pure Ones.

Countless experts had already gathered there. After listening to the Great Dao last time, all of them had made great strides in cultivation.

For this second sermon, they had calculated the time and hurried there, unable to wait.

Whoosh!

As soon as Lin Yunji and the Three Pure Ones landed before the hall, they drew the attention of many experts.

It was not only because of the powerful Three Pure Ones, but also because of Lin Yunji, who had snored his way through the previous sermon in the hall.

"How is that possible?!"

When they got a clear look at Lin Yunji, every one of them widened their eyes in shock.

They looked at Lin Yunji in disbelief!

"Th-this! How could this be?!"

"Young friend Lin... Lin Yunji has actually broken through to Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal!"

"Last time at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, he was only an Early-stage Golden Immortal. It's only been three thousand years, so how did he break through to Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal?"

"Exactly! Besides, he didn't even listen to the Dao in the hall back then! He slept for thirty thousand years straight without making the slightest progress in his cultivation. It wouldn't be too much to say he made no progress at all, would it?"

"This is truly unbelievable!"

"..."

The experts began discussing it among themselves, drawing more and more experts' attention to Lin Yunji.

As astonished as everyone was, they found it increasingly unbelievable!

How could this be?

Sage Hongjun had expounded the Great Dao for thirty thousand years, yet Lin Yunji had chosen to sleep right through such a fortuitous opportunity. He was either utterly foolish or lazy to the bone!

But how had someone like him broken through from Mid-stage Golden Immortal to Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal in a mere three thousand years after leaving the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall?

If they had only heard about it instead of seeing it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it was true!

Hahahahaha!

Hearing the experts gather in twos and threes to discuss Lin Yunji and seeing the shock on their faces, Cult Master Tongtian felt immensely gratified and laughed in his heart.

Although he did not show his elation on his face, he could not help straightening his back.

At that moment, he not only felt exceptionally lucky, but also felt he had gained a great deal of face!

Last time he had listened to the Great Dao at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, he had been ridiculed because Lin Yunji had fallen asleep instead of listening. Now, the gloom had been swept away, and he greatly enjoyed those envious looks!

Are you still going to call my disciple a fool?

His cultivation talent is extraordinary! Do you know what a genius is? Can ordinary people understand what a genius does?!

Cult Master Tongtian was pleased with himself, and his eyes naturally lit up.

It was not just Cult Master Tongtian. When Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi saw the experts' looks of surprise and astonishment at Lin Yunji, they too tasted the pleasure of slapping others in the face and delighting themselves!

It's all thanks to nephew Yunji's own efforts!

Just then, two familiar figures came through the hall entrance.

They were Daoist Fuxi and Lady Nüwa.

Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones and Lin Yunji, they came straight over and bowed to the Three Pure Ones. "Congratulations on your great advances in cultivation, fellow Daoists. You're much closer to Hunyuan Daluo now!"

Fuxi then noticed Lin Yunji standing to one side. Taking a closer look, he too could not help drawing a sharp breath. Somewhat surprised, he nevertheless smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you truly have an extraordinary eye for disciples! Young friend Lin Yunji's talent is truly terrifying!"

"My disciple is unruly. Even if he has talent, he's squandered every bit of it!" Cult Master Tongtian waved a hand. Though his words were dismissive, he could not suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.

What was more, his words made people wonder: had Lin Yunji reached such a realm through talent alone, without even cultivating diligently? What if he put in some effort?

"Come now, fellow Daoist, don't be so modest! In just three thousand years, young friend Lin Yunji leapt from Mid-stage Golden Immortal to Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal. Who wouldn't envy such cultivation proficiency? Even before we took human form, we could never have done the same!" Daoist Fuxi said.

"Hahahahaha, just look at him." Cult Master Tongtian pointed at Lin Yunji. "If you keep praising him, fellow Daoist, I think he'll be so proud his tail will fly right up!"

Seeing that Fuxi was about to say more, Cult Master Tongtian waved a hand. "Let's not talk about him. Since we've happened to meet, why don't we discuss the Great Dao and explore it together?"

Fuxi readily agreed.

So the Three Pure Ones and Daoist Fuxi found a relatively quiet place to talk and discuss the Dao.

For the moment, Lin Yunji and Lady Nüwa were left there together.

Lin Yunji had just thought of a topic and was about to strike up a conversation with Lady Nüwa when he raised his eyes and couldn't help exclaiming, "Holy fucking shit!"

A diamond-shaped crystal wreathed in Dao Qi hovered directly above Lady Nüwa's head. Inside it was a mass of Chaos Qi that flickered in and out of view.

It really was!

The crystal hovering above Lady Nüwa's head was a Heavenly Scar Fragment, the kind Lin Yunji had searched for thousands of years before seeing even one!

It really is random! It wasn't there when I looked just now! How did it appear in the blink of an eye?!

Excited and afraid the fragment would vanish in the blink of an eye, Lin Yunji hurriedly reached out and collected the Heavenly Scar Fragment from above Nüwa's head.

But ten thousand thoughts were running through Lin Yunji's mind, and he paid no attention to anything else.

He also failed to notice that, from Nüwa's perspective, it looked more as though he had reached out to touch her hair, only to quickly withdraw his hand for some reason.

Nüwa's pretty face flushed slightly, and her heart pounded. A feeling that was quite unfamiliar to her welled up inside her.

"Little Jade Bamboo, wh-what are you doing?" After a long moment, Nüwa came to her senses and gave Lin Yunji a coquettishly reproachful glance.

"What did you say?"

Lin Yunji had still wanted to take another look or two at the Heavenly Scar Fragment he had obtained. Hearing Nüwa's words, he was momentarily taken aback, then understood. Seeing her reaction, he knew what to say.

"I just caught a pleasant scent. To confirm my suspicion, I followed the fragrance, and it happened to lead me to your lovely hair..."

Lin Yunji smiled and said, "I imagine the fragrance must have come from you, Lady Nüwa."

One had to praise Lin Yunji: not everyone could come up with something like that on the spot.

After saying that, he did not continue speaking with Lady Nüwa.

That was only because a system notification had already sounded in his ear.

[Ding! The system has detected that the host has obtained a Heavenly Rainbow Fragment. Congratulations, host, you have received Cultivation Points x100000!]

[Ding! The system has detected that the host has sufficient Cultivation Points. Breaking through to the next realm...]

Thus, before Lin Yunji even had a chance to react, he entered a breakthrough state!

Lady Nüwa, however, turned even redder after hearing Lin Yunji's explanation (nonsense). Her pretty face was just like a tomato ripened in summer, its vivid color seemingly ready to drip. Together with her face, as lovely as that of a goddess from the Nine Heavens, it had a distinct charm of its own.

"Y-you... shameless! How could you say something like that?!"

Lady Nüwa then put on a serious expression. "If you tease me like this again, I certainly won't let you off!"

But with the way she looked now, her warning seemed more like coquettishness.

Lady Nüwa wanted to scold Lin Yunji some more, but immediately afterward, she found herself unable to continue.

She stared at Lin Yunji with wide eyes, her gaze filled with shock.

Lin Yunji had no attention to spare for anything else. He was already caught deep within a vortex of Innate Spiritual Qi, unable to move!

"He... he's... broken through?"
