Laizi?
Yuanshi?
Tongtian?
Aren't these the Sanqing?
Feng Xuan finally realized that he had transmigrated into the Primordial World!
And looking at this, all three of the Sanqing had taken a fancy to him and wanted to take him as their disciple!
How should he choose?
"System, children only make choices—adults want it all!"
"I choose all three!"
As a fine modern youth, who even bothers with multiple-choice questions anymore?
Having made his choice in his heart, Feng Xuan walked straight up to the three of them and knelt down devoutly.
"This disciple feels that all three Masters are fated to be with me, and I wish to enter the gates of all three Masters."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Sanqing changed drastically.
What did it mean that they were fated with him? This was completely turning the natural order upside down!
Yuanshi, who valued ritual and order, immediately prepared to flick his sleeves and leave; if this was the kind of disciple he got, they could just forget about it!
But right at that moment, the winds and clouds surged, auspicious clouds appeared in the sky one after another, and immortal music played in unison.
An indescribable, unimaginable supreme will descended upon the Primordial World, shocking Hongjun in the Zixiao Palace so much that he almost tumbled off his meditation mat.
"How can this be? Shouldn't the Great Dao have already retreated into seclusion?"
The Great Dao came quickly and went just as fast; before Hongjun could dwell on it, it bestowed a blessing and withdrew once more.
[Ding! The host has chosen to have it all. Against-the-heavens comprehension, Innate Foundation upgrade, and Great Dao blessing have been issued!]
"This is a blessing from the Great Dao!"
Even the normally calm Laizi lost his composure at that moment, his eyes wide and round as he stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
"This child's foundation has suddenly transformed into a top-grade Innate Divine Sacred foundation—simply incredible!"
Tongtian's gaze grew more and more fervent, as if he were looking at some rare and precious treasure.
Innate Divine Sacred foundations could be found in this world, but not a single person had ever received a blessing from the Great Dao!
Such a foundation, such great fortune.
A second one could not be found in the entire Primordial World!
"Hehe, since Second Brother isn't going to contend with us, Eldest Brother, why don't you let him be mine?"
Tongtian said excitedly, as though he could already foresee the future of Feng Xuan entering his sect and bringing glory to him.
"Ahem, you know, sometimes ritual and order aren't all that important after all. Am I right, Third Brother?"
Yuanshi immediately turned around, his gaze toward Feng Xuan becoming even more benevolent, completely devoid of his previous disdainful expression.
Tongtian was dumbfounded—how could his Second Brother change his face so fast?
To this, Yuanshi could only say:
Oh, I can change my face all right, little brother—you still need to practice!
Seeing his two younger brothers act like this, Laizi didn't want to miss out either!
Anything else could be given away, but if this disciple wasn't his, he'd be itching all over!
At this moment, Feng Xuan felt refreshed after receiving the three system rewards, feeling as though all things in heaven and earth had suddenly become transparent to him.
The against-the-heavens comprehension made him instantly understand the Daoist laws of heaven and earth at a single hint, leaving him with virtually no bottlenecks in his cultivation.
The top-grade Innate Divine Sacred foundation granted him immense potential, possessing the bearing of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
The Great Dao blessing bestowed upon him profound fortune and the affinity of all Daos, ensuring that under normal circumstances, no one would dare to kill him.
It was a Primordial version of an imperial pardon from death, and a permanent one at that!
These three rewards directly forged Feng Xuan into a nearly perfect existence.
At this moment, the Sanqing looked at Feng Xuan with burning gazes, wishing they could pull a hemp sack over him and carry him off on the spot.
"Are you truly willing to enter our three sects?"
"Yes, I feel that all three Masters are super great, and I love them super much!"
"Then you must know that the three of us have different specializations: I focus on the Dao of Alchemy, Second Brother on the Dao of Weapon Refining, and Third Brother on the Dao of Formations. If you enter the gates of all three of us, you will definitely have a lot of things to learn in the future, and no more free time."
"This disciple is willing to learn!"
Are you kidding? Could these things possibly stump him?
Just look at his against-the-heavens comprehension—these three minor Daos were not worth mentioning at all.
Seeing him so persistent, Laizi stopped trying to dissuade him and said to his two younger brothers:
"Since this child is so sincere, why don't we take him into our sect and teach him together?"
Seeing how things stood, Yuanshi and Tongtian no longer forced the issue and agreed.
"This disciple pays respects to First Master, Second Master, and Third Master!"
Seeing this, Feng Xuan excitedly bowed once more.
He knew very well in his heart:
Coming out into the world meant you needed a background.
Now that he had become the joint chief disciple of the Sanqing—and presumably the only one!
Who else could possibly compare to his background?
Once the Sanqing became Sages, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways across the Primordial World?
Before that time came, all he had to do was keep a low profile on Mount Kunlun; once the Tribulation of the Lich came to an end, he would be the veritable eldest senior brother of the Three Teachings!
Truly the number one person beneath the Sages!
Seeing how sensible he was, the Sanqing were also extremely happy in their hearts and hurriedly helped him to his feet.
"Good disciple, now that you have just taken human form, as your master, I will give you a welcoming gift."
With that, Laizi took out a gourd from his sleeve that emitted a faint spiritual charm. The gourd was pure jade-white and radiated the fluctuations of a medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Feng Xuan was puzzled—wasn't First Master supposed to have the Purple-Gold Gourd? What on earth was this white jade gourd?
He watched as Laizi pulled out the stopper of the gourd, and three Golden Cores wreathed in lingering fragrance flew out, their surfaces carved with medicinal patterns.
"These are the Five-Revolution Golden Cores refined by your master, which happen to match your current realm. They can stabilize your foundation and help you break through."
"Thank you, First Master!"
Feng Xuan happily received the Golden Cores, feeling somewhat curious about what they tasted like—were they bitter, sweet, salty, or sulfur-tasting?
At this time, Yuanshi took a long sword from the cuff of his Daoist robe. The sword was incomparably sharp, faintly exuding an unstoppable, piercing momentum.
"This is a medium-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure—the God-Slaying Sword—refined by your master over ten thousand years. I bestow it upon you as an item to protect yourself!"
"Thank you, Second Master!"
Feng Xuan took the long sword and playfully swung a clumsy sword flower—it was a real immortal sword, hey!
He had never even played with an ordinary sharpened iron sword before, and now he actually had an immortal sword!
Wuhu, takeoff!
At this moment, Tongtian looked at the God-Slaying Sword with a thoughtful expression and secretly sent a voice transmission to Yuanshi.
"Second Brother, this sword..."
"What about it?"
"Wasn't this originally meant for me?!"
"Mmhmm, it was, but now it's gone."
Oh well, oh well—as long as he knew his Second Brother's good intentions, that was enough. As for the sword, he wasn't short of weapons anyway.
Tongtian then took out a formation disk from his Daoist robe, upon which stood the four directional sacred beasts, majestic and holy.
"This is the Four Spirits Life-Protecting Formation that your master created by combining the matter of the four sacred beasts guarding the Primordial World. Once this formation is deployed, it can borrow the power of the four sacred beasts to resist attacks at the Daluo Golden Immortal level."
"Thank you, Third Master!"
Feng Xuan took the formation disk with a face full of joy. Of all things in the universe, life was paramount; staying alive was the number one priority.
With this formation disk, he could resist the attacks of the vast majority of enemies, and his life and safety would be worry-free.
Seeing him accept their respective apprenticeship gifts, the Sanqing smiled benevolently, and then, with a wave of their fingers, three streaks of white light went straight into his mind.
"These are our respective methods of cultivation, along with the Dao of Alchemy, the Dao of Weapon Refining, and the Dao of Formations."
"You can use the former for reference; since you possess an Innate Divine Sacred foundation, you naturally have your own unique cultivation methods and Dao that suit you, so just borrow from them as reference. As for the latter three Daos, you must study them diligently. If you let them go to waste, you will be punished."
Laizi explained the contents of the three streaks of white light to Feng Xuan.
"This disciple understands, and will certainly not disappoint the expectations of the Masters."
Feng Xuan nodded solemnly, his heart full of lofty aspirations.
Afterward, the Sanqing prepared to take him back to their Daoist sanctuary, but before leaving, they glanced back in the direction of Mount Buzhou and sighed inwardly in regret.
There were three Innate Gourds that had a predestined connection with them by the will of heaven, but it was a pity that after so much time had passed, they had surely been completely divided up by now.
What a tremendous pity!
"Wait, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, why do I feel like the Innate Gourds are still there?"
Tongtian sensed with a reluctant heart and was instantly puzzled—could those people really be so kind as to leave them behind?
Hearing this, Laizi and Yuanshi also sensed carefully and revealed expressions of astonishment. They really were still there!
The three of them made a resolute decision, summoned an auspicious cloud, and taking Feng Xuan with them, hurried toward Mount Buzhou.
