Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huang Long, who was sitting below the stage, had been keeping his eyes down, continuing to contemplate the great Dao spoken of by the sage.

He had assumed that the saints were about to make an important announcement since they hadn't left, but he was quite disappointed to find that it was just a discussion among the disciples of the three religions.

It wasn't that he wasn't interested in the debate between the disciples of the three religions.

The main reason is that he has now reached the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and it would be somewhat bullying for him to fight against the disciples of the three sects, whose highest cultivation level is no more than the peak of Taiyi.

Secondly, there's the prize money. For him now, ordinary treasures are hard to get his attention, even innate spiritual treasures.

He currently possesses several innate spiritual treasures, among which the Creation Gourd and the Soul Scattering Gourd have not yet been fully refined.

The innate spiritual treasure he obtained during the last Daoist debate among the disciples of the three religions is still gathering dust in the Xuanhuang Realm.

However, when the two Western uncles mentioned the words "Golden Lotus Seed of Merit" and "Bodhi Seed," a golden light flashed in his eyes.

The two Western saints are known for being "stingy." Everything is connected to the Western religion, and there has never been any talk of them giving anything away willingly.

The seeds offered today are probably just ordinary lotus seeds and bodhi seeds, imbued with a trace of their original essence.

Such merits and virtues, such as the golden lotus seeds and Bodhi seeds, are of little use to a Great Luo Golden Immortal like him.

However, when Tongtian mocked them, Jieyin and Zhunti presented the twelve-grade golden lotus seeds and Bodhi seeds, which were full of original essence and rich in vitality.

Buzz...!

Huanglong's eyes, which had returned to normal, suddenly blazed with golden light again!

"This is what a surprise is! This is a surprise!"

Looking at Tongtian Jiaozhu, Huanglong felt that his Uncle Tongtian was radiating a captivating aura.

"Uncle-Master...! Uncle-Master is the most handsome!"

"The source is sufficient!" 』

"Full of vitality!"

These eight words echoed repeatedly in his mind.

If what the two senior uncles, Jieyin and Zhunti, said is true, then the golden lotus seeds and Bodhi seeds are not just symbolic omens for him!

With his mastery of supernatural powers such as the Sweet Rain and the Three Lights Divine Water, as well as his expertise in cultivating spiritual roots and immortal medicines.

In addition, with the vast amount of merit he has accumulated over the years, he can fully cultivate the Golden Lotus of Merit!

Although it cannot compare to the "Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus", cultivating a new Merit Golden Lotus that may reach the Innate Superior Grade is by no means a pipe dream!

At the very least, that Bodhi seed is a postnatal spiritual root!

In an instant, a sharp, tangible golden light burst forth from Huanglong's eyes, like two small suns, blazing brightly towards the cloud bed where Jieyin and Zhunti were.

The burning desire in his eyes could be summed up in two words: "He wants it!"

He has no shortage of merit!

He has no shortage of the resources, time, and patience needed to cultivate spiritual roots!

What he lacks is precisely this kind of seed that contains powerful origin and vitality!

On the cloud bed, Jieyin and Zhunti, being saints, possessed hearts as sharp as the Way of Heaven, and their perception of all things was extremely keen.

Huang Long made no attempt to conceal it, as if the merit lotus seeds and bodhi seeds he had not yet taken out were already his, just waiting to be handed over to him.

A chill instantly ran through them both.

The sorrowful face of the guide seemed to grow even more bitter.

Zhunti's gentle smile froze slightly.

"not good! "

The two Western Saints almost simultaneously exclaimed in their hearts.

They had calculated everything,

Who is Huanglong? He is the second among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and his cultivation has long since reached the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

If he were to participate in this competition at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, given his stable Great Luo Dao Fruit...

Wasn't that innate spiritual treasure they were eyeing already pre-selected for him?

Even the most outstanding disciples of their Western Sect would have no chance of winning against Huang Long at this moment!

Whether they were disciples of the Three Teachings or disciples of the Western Sect, they all paled in comparison to Huanglong, this Great Golden Immortal.

The Sage of Guidance reacted swiftly, immediately turning to look at the Master of Heaven, his sorrowful voice tinged with impatience:

"Senior Brother Tongtian, since this is to test the cultivation achievements of our disciples and encourage future generations, wouldn't it be unfair to have someone like Junior Nephew Huanglong, who has already advanced to the Great Luo realm and has profound cultivation, participate?"

"That seems a bit too advanced."

Zhunti followed suit, quickly echoing him with a sincere tone, seemingly for the sake of fairness: "Brother Jieyin is absolutely right."

"If my junior disciple Huanglong, with his cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, were to participate, it would be unfair to our disciples who are still at the Taiyi or Golden Immortal levels, and would defeat the original purpose of our exchange and verification."

As Zhunti spoke, he glanced at Huanglong, pausing slightly before adding, "I propose that we separate this competition for the Great Luo Golden Immortals, or... perhaps Nephew Huanglong should no longer participate in this debate. What do you think?"

These words, though seemingly a discussion, had an obvious underlying intention.

Zhunti's goal was to exclude Huanglong, the most outstanding person in their eyes, from the "predetermined choice of the Three Pure Ones"!

Before the Three Pure Ones, seated high on their cloud platform, could express their opinion on Zhunti's proposal, Huanglong below became anxious.

"Why should I?!"

A surge of anger welled up in Huang Long's heart.

So what if you have high cultivation level?

Does having a high level of cultivation mean you deserve to be discriminated against?

Even those with high cultivation levels are disqualified from participating in fellow disciples' discussions?

Those two senior uncles were seemingly polite in their words, but in reality, it was blatant discrimination!

He stood up from the futon, his body radiating spiritual light. Although he dared not be presumptuous in front of the saint, a trace of the majestic aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal still involuntarily escaped, causing the disciples present to feel a tightness in their hearts.

Huanglong stared directly at the Sage Zhunti, his tone firmer than ever before, even carrying a hint of questioning:

"Uncle-Master Zhunti! What do you mean by this? Since this is a test of the cultivation achievements of the disciples of the three religions and your own disciples, I, Huanglong, am also a direct disciple of our teacher. Why can't I participate? Could it be that you have a personal grudge against me, Huanglong? Or that you have some dissatisfaction with our Chan Sect?"

Zhunti glanced somewhat guiltily at Yuanshi Tianzun, whose expression was rather unfriendly.

"He can't afford to take the blame for being dissatisfied with the Chan Sect, can he?"

Upon hearing Huanglong's words, the Sage's lips twitched slightly, his sorrow deepened, and his expression became even more bitter.

Although they were angry, it was the first time that a Grand Luo Golden Immortal had dared to question them like this, but they couldn't show it at the moment.

After all, they did have selfish motives first, which is neither reasonable nor ethical!

However, for the sake of the innate spiritual treasure that the Three Pure Ones had brought out as a corresponding prize, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and maintain his compassionate expression as he explained, "Nephew Huanglong, please don't misunderstand, this humble Taoist has absolutely no such intention."

"However... after all, you, my junior disciple, have already attained the Great Luo Dao and stepped into the long river of time, making you worlds apart from the other disciples."

"If you were to participate, it would be unfair not only to my disciples but also to the other disciples of the three sects!"

"To engage in debate and competition with you would defeat the original purpose of mutual verification."
