The first disciple of the Three Pure Ones, Little Sizi's immortal brother

The speed of the Three Pure Ones can hardly be described as lightning-fast.

Or rather, it is an insult to the Three Pure Ones' escape techniques.

Last time, because the journey wasn't too far, and Taiqing intentionally let Shiming familiarize himself with the route, the flight wasn't very fast.

This time, because the journey was relatively long, and the route to the outer chaos of the Thirty-Three Heavens was monotonous and not worth seeing, they naturally increased their speed.

Not long after, the group of four arrived at the border of the primordial world, the boundary between chaos and the primordial world. Ordinary primordial beings neither had the ability nor dared to come here.

First, not everyone has the ability to fly to the Thirty-Third Heaven and reach the edge of the Primordial World. Second, the chaotic gales that occasionally leak in are absolutely fatal even to a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal, without sufficient strength and resources, cannot linger in the chaos for long.

Therefore, the process of traversing chaos to reach Zixiao Palace was also a selection process by Hongjun for the primordial beings.

No matter what method you used to enter Zixiao Palace, that means you are destined, and those who are destined can attain enlightenment.

However, if one listens to the Dao without entering the Zixiao Palace, it would be disrespectful to the Sage. Furthermore, if one cannot enter the Zixiao Palace and is not protected by the Sage's Daoist aura within, merely listening to the Dao would likely not end well.

Aiming too high is never a good thing.

You mean Shi Ming?

I'm sorry, but he was taken in by the Three Pure Ones, so he's considered "one with a predestined connection," although that connection might be somewhat tainted...

"Disciple, once we enter the Chaos, remember, you must never leave my protective zone, otherwise the Chaos Gale will be no joke." Before entering the Chaos, Taiqing gave a few words of advice with some unease.

He was so pleased with this disciple that he was afraid he would never find another disciple as suitable as him after this one was gone.

"Yes, disciple has remembered." Shi Ming nodded in agreement.

Taiqing nodded and summoned a small, dark yellow pagoda. The pagoda grew taller in the wind and soon reached the heads of the four people, protecting them inside.

The most precious treasure of merit acquired after birth—the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth!

The Taiqing's companion spiritual treasure is said to have been formed from a part of Pangu's merit in creating the world, which split in two. By summoning it, one can be invincible in battle.

While its efficacy may be somewhat exaggerated, its defensive power is indeed genuine. The chaotic gale that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to be careful to deal with struck the Xuan light cast by the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, yet it didn't even cause the slightest ripple.

Just as Shi Ming was wondering, two hands suddenly landed on his shoulders, one on each side.

Shi Ming's lips twitched. He was just curious, why was he so worried?

However, since he was concerned about him, Shi Ming didn't say anything more.

As for Yuanshi and Tongtian?

At this moment, both of their eyes were fixed on Shi Ming, fearing that he might do something dangerous out of curiosity.

This is the most precious thing to the Three Pure Ones, and also their first disciple. Even if they are injured, they cannot let their eldest brother's disciple suffer even the slightest harm!

You're saying Shi Ming isn't a disciple of Yuanshi and Tongtian?

Sorry, the Three Pure Ones have not yet separated; they are still in a state of "brothers united, their strength can break metal."

Red lotus, white lotus, green lotus leaves—the Three Pure Ones were originally one family. Therefore, the eldest brother's disciple is naturally no different from their own disciple.

None of the three have established a lineage, so there is no so-called struggle over lineage, and naturally there are no points of conflict.

Even if Yuanshi and Tongtian occasionally have some verbal squabbles, it's nothing serious. These are family matters; what chance would an outsider have of messing with one of the brothers?

Under the protection of the Three Pure Ones, Shi Ming arrived at Zixiao Palace without any trouble.

Upon entering the Zixiao Palace, a faint Daoist aura enveloped Shi Ming, and within this aura, Shi Ming sensed a familiar presence.

However, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that, under the influence of this aura, Shi Ming, who was already very close to the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, broke through directly at this moment.

And this comes less than a year after Shi Ming's last breakthrough!

This is quite different from other beings in the primordial world who break through to the thousands, tens of thousands, or even eons in a matter of time.

The aura of his breakthrough attracted the attention of other powerful figures in Zixiao Palace. Apart from the few who were present that day, all the other innate saints showed a hint of surprise, even greed, in their eyes when they saw that Shi Ming was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, when they saw the Three Pure Ones standing to the side, they immediately dispelled this thought.

This close stance clearly indicates that the relationship between this Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Three Pure Ones is extraordinary; he is most likely a disciple of one of them.

To oppose the Three Pure Ones, who are currently at the height of their power?

Are you tired of living?

Noticing the prying eyes around him, Tongtian snorted coldly, and a sharp aura rose up, causing the prying eyes to immediately withdraw.

Can't afford to provoke...

Let's stay away...

Of course, besides the surrounding innate deities, the Three Pure Ones were also extremely shocked. In fact, it could be said that they were the most shocked.

Others might not know when Shi Ming last broke through, but how could the three of them not know?

Keep in mind, they only set off after Shi Ming broke through. In other words, the only difference between Shi Ming's current breakthrough and his last one was the travel time?

They certainly know that the wisdom of the sages is beneficial to cultivation, but isn't this effect a bit too exaggerated?

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Taiqing, on gaining such a fine disciple! Congratulations, congratulations!" At this moment, Hongyun, the kind-hearted old man of the prehistoric world, pulled his good buddy Zhenyuanzi over and said, "However, Fellow Daoist Taiqing's teaching skills are truly first-rate. In just a few thousand years, your disciple has advanced two minor realms."

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you flatter me. It was all thanks to my disciple's efforts. As the master, I didn't contribute much, and I am truly ashamed."

You can't hit someone who's smiling, especially when they're praising your good disciple!

Therefore, Taiqing unusually spoke a few more words.

"Eh~ Fellow Daoist Taiqing is too modest. I've long heard that Fellow Daoist Taiqing is skilled in alchemy. Could it be that your alchemy skills have made another breakthrough?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I haven't made any breakthroughs in understanding this yet."

……

Shi Ming stayed between Yuanshi and Tongtian, watching Taiqing and Hongyun chat.

This scene looks really strange. Maybe it would be better if Taiqing, who's standing over there, were replaced by Tongtian...

"Hey kid, were you thinking about something bad just now?"

Tongtian seemed to sense something; the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal was no joke. After sensing for a while, Tongtian looked at Shi Ming.

"No……"
