Primordial Era: Me, starting with the Primordial Enlightenment Tree

"Really not at all?"

No! Absolutely not even a tiny bit!

Tianci gently shook his head.

"Fine, if you say no, then no!"

The two didn't ask any more questions, but a glint of light flashed in the depths of their eyes. Anyone with eyes could see that they didn't believe Tianci's words at all.

A moment later.

"Oh, right, old man, you need to tell him clearly who I am. You took on a new apprentice without even telling me. Honestly, it almost prevented me from getting into my house just now."

Tianci pointed his little finger at Duobao, who was standing to the side.

The Master of Heaven: "..."

Taiqing Laozi: "..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable: "..."

Emmm...

You're not even in Kunlun Mountain, so how are we supposed to talk to you?

You secretly ran off to wander around outside the sect, and you're blaming us for this?

The Master of Heaven's face was filled with grievance.

"Cough cough..."

"Duobao, come here. This is your senior brother, Tianci. Quickly step forward and pay your respects!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader began to introduce Duobao.

"Yes, Master!"

"Disciple Duobao greets Senior Brother!"

Upon seeing that Tianci was indeed his senior brother, Duobao immediately bowed respectfully to Tianci.

Although the scene before us looked rather strange.

"Alright, junior brother, no need for such formalities. Now that we've joined the same sect, consider this a small gift from your senior brother!"

With a simple flick of his wrist, Tianci produced a fruit from his innate spiritual root—the very same Huangzhong plum.

This fruit is renowned; it is said that just one can enable a cultivator to break through their cultivation realm and enter the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, this miraculous effect is only truly heaven-defying for beings below the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If one were to consume it after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the effect would be greatly reduced.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother!"

Duobao, beaming with joy, accepted the yellow plum with both hands.

"My dear disciple, what is this thing...?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but ask.

He could clearly sense the immense and terrifying energy contained within this fruit.

"One of the ten innate spiritual roots, the fruit of the Yellow Plum."

Tianci looked completely unconcerned and casually remarked.

What?

It was actually the fruit of the ten innate spiritual roots?

Upon hearing Tianci's words, not only Tongtian Jiaozhu, but even Taiqing Laozi, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes instantly and stared at Tianci without blinking.

His face was filled with undisguised envy.

Isn't the luck of my disciple (nephew) a bit too heaven-defying?

He had only gone out for a short trip, yet he was able to find such a precious treasure as an innate spiritual root.

"Oh right, Master, Senior Uncle... I almost forgot to tell you, just eating one of these fruits can directly propel one into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Tianci spoke solemnly.

What?

Can just one pill allow someone to directly break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?

Upon hearing Tianci's words, the three members of the Tongtian Sect were stunned into silence.

His face was full of disbelief.

Although they had long anticipated that the effects of this yellow plum fruit would be extraordinary, they never expected that its effects would be so miraculous!

This was completely beyond their expectations.

"My dear disciple, is everything you just said true?"

When the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke, even his voice trembled slightly.

He was clearly quite shocked by the news.

"Yes, it's definitely true. If you don't believe me, just let Junior Brother Duobao try it on the spot and you'll see!"

Tianci spoke with a smile.

The Master of Heaven: "..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable: "..."

Taiqing Laozi: "..."

At this moment, the three of them were completely speechless, having no idea what to say.

This disciple (or nephew) of theirs not only has a cultivation level far superior to theirs, but his luck has also defied the heavens to such an extent.

This made them, as elders, feel like they had no presence at all.

It's so hard!

"Eldest brother, third brother, do you think this little guy might be hiding some other treasure on him?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable secretly transmitted his voice to Laozi and the Tongtian Sect Master through his primordial spirit.

"Yes, there definitely are more! I just wonder which family's treasure trove this time the little guy raided."

Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu responded simultaneously through telepathic communication, their voices filled with unwavering certainty.

"Should we...?"

"Second brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"

"Ahem, second brother, what if he refuses to give it to us? All of us combined can't beat him."

"Well... alright, we're definitely no match for him."

Just as the three leaders of the Tongtian Sect were secretly communicating through telepathic communication.

"Master, Eldest Brother..."

Just then, Duobao's voice suddenly came over.

"What's wrong?"

"Senior Brother, this gift is far too precious; I absolutely cannot accept it..."

Upon learning of the miraculous effects of the Yellow Plum, Duobao could barely hold the fruit in his hand, his hands trembling slightly.

"Junior brother, do you know anything about the background and origins of our master and senior uncle?"

"Yes, this is the true lineage of Pangu!"

Duobao nodded, looking completely bewildered.

"Hmm, good to know. As a true descendant of Pangu, if your cultivation level is too low, wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of our master and senior uncles and make them lose face?"

Tianci, with a serious expression, looked at Duobao and said.

"this……"

Is my cultivation level really that low?

"Junior brother, do you know what cultivation level I am at now?"

"This disciple does not know..."

Duobao gently shook his head.

Ok?

Could it be that Senior Brother's cultivation level has reached such a high level?

Duobao couldn't help but mutter and guess to himself.

"Alright, I won't discourage you. In short, stop refusing this gift from your senior brother. The important thing is to improve your cultivation level, understand?"

Tianci spoke up.

"Oh……"

"Master, is our eldest brother's cultivation level truly very high?"

Duobao turned his head and his gaze fell on his master, Tongtian Jiaozhu.

"Ahem... Duobao, all you need to know is that even if your master and your two senior uncles were combined, they wouldn't be a match for your eldest senior brother."

The Master of Heaven spoke with a look of embarrassment.

It's utterly shameful that one's own disciple's cultivation level is higher than that of their master.

"this……"

Upon hearing Tongtian Jiaozhu's words, Duobao was so shocked that he stood frozen in place, completely stunned.

He couldn't squeeze out a single word for ages.

"No wonder my senior brother said my cultivation level was low..."

Duobao's eyes instantly filled with adoration for Tianci.

"Alright, Master, Senior Uncle... If there's nothing else, I'll go into seclusion to cultivate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianci took a step and walked into the Shangqing Palace.

Before the second sermon by Dao Ancestor Hongjun begins, he must hurry and completely refine the Chaos Pearl.

"etc……"

Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly spoke up and called out to Tianci.

"Is there anything else?"

"Ahem... My dear disciple, you should still have quite a few of these Yellow Plum fruits on you, right?"

The Master of Heaven looked somewhat embarrassed and kept rubbing his hands together.

The meaning behind those words couldn't be clearer.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Tianci immediately stopped in his tracks.

"My dear nephew Tianci, do you think you could also...?"

Taiqing Laozi quickly followed up with his own words.

"You want some too?"

"Um!"

"Um!"

The three leaders of the Tongtian Sect nodded repeatedly.

"But aren't you all already at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm? This Yellow Plum fruit is of little use to you anymore. It can't help you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so what do you want it for?"

A look of confusion appeared on Tianci's tender little face.

"Ahem, Junior Nephew Tianci, you're absolutely right. Although we don't need them ourselves, we can save them for your junior brothers and sisters in the future!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable quickly spoke up.

"Oh……"

"My good disciple, one is enough. Just give one to each of us."

The Tongtian Sect Leader quickly followed up.

"Hehe! No way..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianci turned and walked into Shangqing Palace, leaving only the three of them, Tongtian Jiaozhu and his companions, frozen in place, their faces disheveled by the wind.

The Master of Heaven: "..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable: "..."

Taiqing Laozi: "..."

Have we been rejected by this little guy again...?

It's so hard!

"Our senior brother... he's actually that amazing! He even dared to refuse the requests from Master and our two senior uncles!"

Seeing this scene before him, Duobao couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face filled with shock.
