Gaining a Talent, Bloodline Enhanced!

The song spread across the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Countless beings received a message in their hearts.

Hongjun had become a Sage and would expound the Great Dao!

Hongjun had become a Sage!

He would expound the Great Dao!!

The Primordial Wilderness shook.

Just who was this Daoist Hongjun?

And what realm was a Sage?

With his power alone, he had made heaven and earth tremble and bend to his will!

He was only one man, yet he possessed such power!

"Swish!"

In an instant, countless beings rose on clouds, carrying the questions in their hearts as they turned into streaks of light and flew into the sky.

Though they were bewildered, the Heavenly Dao guided them, and they sensed it in the Unseen. Enlightenment dawned on the beings, and they understood that this was a great fortuitous opportunity they could not afford to miss.

One after another, they awakened, emerged from seclusion, and flew straight toward Chaos Heaven.

In the midst of the boundless chaos stood a palace.

The palace towered proudly, its presence remote and ancient. Faint sounds of the Dao seemed to linger around it, and even its bricks and stones seemed to hold endless profundity.

This was the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall.

Within the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, a Dao platform floated in the void. Seated upon it was an old man in a gray robe, his hair and beard white. His presence was elusive and hidden between heaven and earth, impossible to discern clearly. He seemed like a being who had existed since the beginning of this world.

This old man was Hongjun, the man who had just become a Sage and recited the song!

Suddenly, Hongjun, sitting alone on the Dao platform, slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. Dao light flowed in his gaze, forming a rhythm of its own. In a mere moment, he seemed to take in all of heaven and earth, all the way to the distant, elusive shore.

His gaze grew deep as he looked into the depths of Kunlun Mountain, toward Lin Yunji. Without a word, he withdrew his gaze a moment later.

At this time, at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Ye Yunji was sitting on that rough stone, looking up at the vast sky. His head was buzzing, and he badly wanted to curse.

Just moments ago, when Daoist Hongjun became a Sage, the supreme pressure he released had awakened the system that had only just fallen silent. It had promptly thrown two "ding" notifications at Lin Yunji.

"Ding! The system has detected that the host is enduring the might of a Sage. In this moment, you have overcome countless hardships and comprehended a new system talent-'Divine Might'!"

"Ding! The system has detected that the host's Qi and Blood are unstable and his bloodline seems to be stirring. A sudden insight has struck, and his bloodline has broken through to the Blue Sea Bamboo level. Cultivation speed has increased significantly! Congratulations, host. Please seize this chance and keep up the good work!"

???

Oh, screw you!

Lin Yunji was furious. Only after his Blood Qi settled did he retrieve the system talent he had just comprehended from his mind.

"Divine Might": Beneath the boundless heavens, Divine Abilities shine, standing majestic between heaven and earth; across the primordial universe and the surging chaos, who can contend? With this system talent, the host will no longer be affected by the pressure of a Sage, standing truly unbowed in the world, with an innate, indomitable spirit.

The system really was looking out for him!

The moment a Sage appeared in the Primordial Wilderness, it gave him the "Divine Might" talent.

If Lin Yunji could just barely accept that system talent, the bloodline breakthrough that followed left him utterly speechless.

Just moments ago, he had been secretly glad that his bloodline was only at the second level, far too weak to amount to anything, so his cultivation speed was naturally slow.

And now look!

It did not even bother with a progress bar anymore. Not only had it raised him directly to the next level, but it had also increased his cultivation speed?

"This damn system!" Lin Yunji could not get his hands on the system, so he turned his ire elsewhere. Looking up at the vast sky, he cursed inwardly, The moment Daoist Hongjun became a Sage, I broke through. When all's said and done, it's that old Daoist's fault!

He could now distinctly feel his cultivation rising steadily within his body.

That was enough to show that he was getting much closer to reaching the Supreme Primordial Unity realm!

"If I break through to Supreme Primordial Unity someday and leave the Primordial Wilderness, I'll make that little old man pay first!" Lin Yunji said viciously.

"Whoosh!"

While Lin Yunji was still fretting over the increase in cultivation speed brought by his enhanced bloodline, three streaks of golden light swept down from Kunlun Mountain, heading straight for him.

The three streaks trailed long tails of brilliant, dazzling light, and their presence was terrifying. Even before they drew near, waves of pressure could be felt.

When the three streaks of golden light approached, three beings appeared.

At their head was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. His features were delicate, yet one would forget them as soon as one looked away. Another was a middle-aged man who commanded respect without anger, his bearing extraordinary and his dignity entirely natural. The third was a young man in a moon-white robe. One look at him brought a newly sharpened sword to mind; his edge was so keen that one always wanted to keep clear.

These three were the Three Pure Ones, who had once taken form from Pangu's Primordial Spirit-Laozi, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, and Cult Master Tongtian.

Two of them were at the Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while Laozi was an even more terrifying existence, having reached the Late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

In the blink of an eye, the three landed before Lin Yunji.

Lin Yunji scrambled to his feet on the stone.

Though he had his own selfish thoughts, he could not neglect the formalities. On seeing the three, he hurried forward and said, "Disciple Lin Yunji pays his respects to Master and his two senior martial uncles!"

Once the greetings were over, Lin Yunji became lazy again, looking as though nothing could pique his interest.

But the Three Pure Ones stared at Lin Yunji, their eyes full of surprise, as though they had not seen him pay his respects.

With their knowledge and experience, what could possibly shock them?

It had to be the young man before them!

Dao Master Tongtian, Lin Yunji's master, in particular, could not help taking two steps forward and stopping in front of him. He looked Lin Yunji up and down, examining him over and over.

Cult Master Tongtian looked at Lin Yunji, his eyes flickering and his lips trembling uncontrollably. He seemed to want to say something, but was too excited to find the right words.

"...Early-stage Golden Immortal!"

"Early-stage Golden Immortal!"

"He's actually an Early-stage Golden Immortal!"

Only after a long while did they seem to dare believe it.

Three voices rang out, filled with shock, joy, and relief. They shook the land for ten thousand miles, their echoes rumbling on for a long time.
