Who Don't You Believe!?

In the Primordial Wilderness, the years of cultivation passed in the blink of an eye.

Before they knew it, Lin Yunji, Nüwa, and Yaochi had spent as many as five hundred years in the Primordial World.

They had seen mountain beasts with enormous true forms, encountered maritime wonders seen only once in a thousand years, and taken in countless magnificent mountains and rivers and the beautiful scenery of the Primordial Wilderness.

On this day, they were once again lying comfortably atop a soft, fluffy cloud.

"Before we knew it, the time has almost come!"

All of a sudden, Lin Yunji said those words in an easy, untroubled tone.

Yet those very words made Lady Nüwa and Yaochi's hearts tremble, and their faces showed how reluctant they were to part.

For they knew perfectly well that the time Lin Yunji spoke of was the approaching day of Sage Hongjun's third lecture at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall!

That meant they would have to leave for the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall at once and could no longer travel the Primordial Wilderness with Lin Yunji.

It had to be said that, for Lady Nüwa and Yaochi, the years they had spent traveling the Primordial Wilderness with Lin Yunji had been their happiest days, especially for Yaochi.

She had grown up in Chaos Heaven. How could she have seen such lively sights of the Primordial Wilderness there?

Those few short centuries had been their happiest time!

"What are those looks for?" Seeing that Yaochi and Lady Nüwa were a little downcast, Lin Yunji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Aren't you just going to the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall? It's not as though we're parting in life and death, so why are you so sad?"

"I'm not sad!" Yaochi pouted and immediately retorted, "I just think it's a pity, that's all. It's a pity I can't keep having fun with Lady Nüwa!"

But as she said this, her eyes remained fixed on Lin Yunji, making what she said hardly convincing to anyone else.

"Little Sister Yaochi, it's not very nice to lie. Don't tell me you don't want to have fun with me?" Seeing her sorrowful expression, Lin Yunji couldn't help wanting to tease her, so he said this and even deliberately put on a deeply hurt expression.

"I... I didn't say that!" Yaochi blurted out. "Of course I want to travel the Primordial Wilderness with Brother Yunji too. But time has passed so quickly. Before I even realized it, it was already time to go back!"

"Sage Hongjun's third lecture at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall is about to begin. You'll be returning to Kunlun Mountain too, won't you?" Lady Nüwa suddenly spoke. There was a smile on her face, but it was clearly tinged with a great deal of reluctance to part.

"Not exactly!" Hearing their words, Lin Yunji couldn't help curving his lips into a smile. "I really have enjoyed traveling the Primordial Wilderness with you. If another chance comes along, I'll definitely invite you to travel together again!"

"So we'll still have a chance to have fun together in the future, right?" Yaochi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course," Lin Yunji said with a nod.

"Wow, Brother Yunji, that's wonderful! Brother Yunji is the best to me, hee hee hee hee hee!" Hearing Lin Yunji agree, Yaochi immediately leaped three feet into the air and cheered.

Hearing Lin Yunji say this, Lady Nüwa's brows quietly relaxed as well, and her smile grew even sweeter.

They turned their cloud around and flew straight toward Chaos.

When Lin Yunji, Lady Nüwa, and Yaochi arrived at the entrance to the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall once more, quite a few powerful cultivators had already gathered there.

From afar, Lin Yunji spotted three cultivators sitting cross-legged in meditation among the crowd at a glance.

They were none other than the Three Pure Ones!

Finding it inconvenient to approach, Yaochi said goodbye to the two of them from a distance and quietly slipped away to find Haotian by the entrance.

Lin Yunji, meanwhile, walked toward the Three Qing Daoists with Lady Nüwa.

"Whoosh!"

The moment Lin Yunji appeared, he drew the attention of quite a few powerful cultivators.

As he made his way forward, he caused even more of a stir!

Every powerful cultivator who saw him widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.

Everyone seemed rooted to the spot, their gazes glued to Lin Yunji.

Unbelievable!

Gradually, the space before the hall fell quiet.

Silence!

Across the vast plaza in front of the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, a pin could have been heard dropping. At that moment, even the sound of breathing vanished.

"Gasp!"

A sudden sharp intake of breath startled everyone awake.

"Is this real?"

"Am I trapped in an illusion?"

"How is this possible?"

"Is this... the Daluo Golden Immortal... Mid-stage Golden Immortal... realm? Am I seeing things?"

"Incredible! It's simply incredible!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Is this some kind of joke? Wasn't his cultivation only at the Taiyi Mid-stage Golden Immortal realm three thousand years ago? How could he have reached the Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in just three thousand years?!"

"If he's so impressive... then why did he gain nothing from listening to Teacher's lectures at the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall the first two times? That's the most terrifying part!"

"Y-yes. He gained nothing from listening to lectures on the Great Dao for sixty thousand years, yet his cultivation soared in six thousand years! How could this happen?"

"And his Law Power is so rich and pure... it doesn't look like he forced his cultivation up by taking some divine substance!"

"..."

For a time, discussions broke out all around the entrance to the hall.

Everyone was shocked by the realm Lin Yunji had displayed!

The powerful cultivators could hardly be blamed for their astonishment. Lin Yunji's situation was simply far too bizarre!

During the Sage's lectures, he had slept soundly for thirty thousand years, then gained nothing from listening for another thirty thousand!

Yet after the lectures ended, he had taken only a few thousand years to make the leap from the Mid-stage Golden Immortal realm to his current Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

This completely overturned their understanding of the world!

"Little Jade Bamboo, you become the center of everyone's attention every time there's a lecture." Lady Nüwa giggled.

Just then, four streaks of light suddenly landed in front of Lin Yunji.

They were none other than the Three Pure Ones and Fuxi!

"So it really is true?" Cult Master Tongtian stared at Lin Yunji, his expression excited and complicated.

"You little brat, you really... really broke through to the Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"

"Master, is it me you don't believe, or your own eyes?" Lin Yunji rolled his eyes and spoke in a flippant tone.

Cult Master Tongtian flicked him on the head. "You little brat, watch how you speak! Your wings have grown strong, and now you even talk back to your master!"

Hearing Lin Yunji's familiar tone, Cult Master Tongtian felt a warm sense of familiarity. He then placed his large hand on Lin Yunji's shoulder and patted it again and again.

"That's my disciple for you! You've made your master proud! Well done breaking through! This is wonderful!"

"Hahahahahaha!"
