Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Xia Jin watched as Leng Wushuang's figure transformed into a streak of silver-white sword light and disappeared before her eyes.

As he could no longer see anything, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"You three...have you seen enough?"

He didn't turn around; his gaze remained fixed on the direction where Leng Wushuang had disappeared. But to whom were he saying these words?

After a few breaths, a somewhat aged voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Young friend, your perception is truly the sharpest I have ever seen in my life. The three of us only observed you from afar with our divine senses for a short while, yet you still noticed us."

"If you have time, young friend, please come and have a chat. The three of us old men will wait in the courtyard."

Xia Jin's eyes brightened slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

As expected, it was those three Saint Realm beings from before.

He was just worried about not finding an opportunity to investigate the three men's strengths and weaknesses, but unexpectedly, they came to him on their own.

Good, this is a good opportunity to find out what the relationship is between these three and the Three Pure Ones of Taoism in the previous life myth.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer." Xia Jin nodded slightly.

The moment he nodded in agreement, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone beneath his feet, and a golden bridge stretched out from beneath him, as if spanning the endless void.

Xia Jin did not hesitate and stepped forward.

The golden bridge carried him across in an instant, the surrounding scenery distorting like ripples on water before solidifying again in a flash.

When he regained his footing, he found himself in a completely different world from the island he had just been on.

This place is actually a secret realm.

Surrounded by green mountains on all sides and nestled among a few ancient pine trees, a small courtyard sits quietly.

Although the courtyard is simple, it exudes a sense of returning to nature.

Xia Jin glanced around and quickly focused her gaze on the three figures beside the stone table.

The three sat side by side, just as they had seen on the high platform in the main hall earlier.

However, now that they were closer, his aura of sainthood became even clearer.

The figure in the center had the most refined and ancient appearance. His hair and beard were all white, yet his face was as handsome as jade. He wore a plain white Taoist robe, which made him appear approachable.

When he saw Xia Jin appear, a smile appeared on his face, and he gently pointed to the stone bench opposite him: "Young friend, please sit down."

Xia Jin did not refuse and sat down on the stone bench opposite the three of them.

"The three of us are the founders of these three holy lands," the white-bearded elder in the middle said. "My Daoist name is Venerable Xuanwei."

He raised his hand to the person on his left and gestured: "This is my second junior brother, whose Daoist name is Qian Yuan Venerable, the founder of the Tian Shu Holy Land."

The man on the left, Venerable Qian Yuan, who had a faint golden mark between his eyebrows, nodded slightly to Xia Jin upon hearing this.

Venerable Xuanwei then gestured to the person on his right: "This is my third junior brother, whose Daoist name is Venerable Lingyuan, the founder of the Primordial Holy Land."

The Venerable Lingyuan on the right also nodded to Xia Jin, "Greetings, young friend!"

"Three Saints from one family?" Xia Jin raised an eyebrow slightly. Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked after hearing the person in question introduce themselves. "What kind of sect is this that could produce three Saint-level beings?"

The three Venerables exchanged a glance. Although they knew Xia Jin was surprised, they had no intention of introducing their sects.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to elaborate, Xia Jin did not press further.

With a wave of his hand, Venerable Xuanwei placed a teacup in front of Xia Jin.

"Today I summoned various forces to discuss matters, but I never expected to discover you, young friend."

"Although you have deliberately concealed your aura, the three of us can still detect a trace of the Saint Realm aura on you."

Xia Jin raised an eyebrow, but she wasn't too surprised.

If it were his true form that came, he was confident that the other party would not be able to detect it. But today, it was only his avatar that came, so it was quite normal for it to be detected by three Saint Realm beings.

Venerable Xuanwei continued, "If I may be so bold as to ask, young friend, have you yet reached the Saint Realm?"

"Saint Realm?" Xia Jin's lips curled up slightly, but he gently shook his head: "To be honest, the three Venerables, I have indeed touched the threshold of the Saint Realm, but I still need some opportunities before I can truly achieve the Saint Realm."

"Really? That's a bit of a shame."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Xuanwei's eyes dimmed slightly. The two beside him also showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes; clearly, they had originally held higher expectations for Xia Jin.

However, Venerable Xuanwei was, after all, a Saint Realm figure, and he quickly regained his composure and smiled again: "Even if you have not yet truly entered the Saint Realm, you are still a great help to our Mirage Cloud Realm."

"This time, the alien races have launched a large-scale invasion of our human territory. The Stone Clan and the Corpse Clan have joined forces and are heading straight for the Mirage Cloud Realm. The situation is really not optimistic. As for the existence of Saint Realm beings on the other side, the three of us will do our best to stop them."

"However, on the battlefield below the Saint Realm, the human cultivators of the Mirage Cloud Realm are likely to be at a complete disadvantage. If a powerful expert like you, who has touched the threshold of the Saint Realm, were to take action, it might be possible to buy a few more chances for our Mirage Cloud Realm on the battlefield below the Saint Realm."

"At that time, I hope you will do your best."

"Rest assured, Venerable Ones, the Mirage Realm is also my foothold. I understand the principle of mutual dependence. If that day truly comes, I will certainly go all out and hold nothing back." Xia Jin nodded when he saw the three of them looking at him at the same time.

There's no need to say more; he'll take action in this situation as well.

Moreover, when the two sides actually clash, he will definitely give these alien races a huge surprise!

"In that case, on behalf of all beings in the Mirage Realm, I would like to express my gratitude to you, young friend."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency," Xia Jin shook her head slightly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xia Jin suddenly changed the subject, her face becoming more serious: "Speaking of which, there is something I've always been quite curious about and would like to ask the three venerable ones for guidance."

"Please speak, young friend." A hint of doubt flashed in Venerable Xuanwei's eyes.

"Three Venerable Ones, have you ever heard of the term 'Three Pure Ones of Taoism'?"

Venerable Xuanwei's eyes narrowed slightly, his brows furrowed gently, and he exchanged a glance with his two junior brothers.

Then, all three of them shook their heads at Xia Jin.

Xia Jin frowned as she looked at the undisguised bewilderment on the faces of the three people.

These three people don't seem to be lying, but are they really not connected?

He doesn't believe it!

But Xia Jin didn't intend to press the matter further.

"Young friend, who exactly are these so-called 'Three Pure Ones of Taoism'? Why would you suddenly ask such a question?" The rather taciturn Venerable Lingyuan looked at Xia Jin, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Xia Jin remained expressionless, simply smiling and waving his hand: "It was just that I happened to see a few names in an ancient book and felt they were somewhat similar to the three of you, so I asked casually. Since the three venerable ones have not heard of them, then it is probably just my overthinking."

Venerable Xuanwei gave him a deep look, then simply nodded: "I see."

Xia Jin suddenly stood up and nodded to the three of them: "Three Venerable Ones, if there is nothing else important, I will take my leave. I have some matters to arrange in advance regarding this invasion by the alien race."

"Alright, see you again when you have the chance." Venerable Xuanwei waved his hand, and the golden bridge reappeared beneath Xia Jin's feet.

When Xia Jin disappeared along with that golden bridge,

Venerable Xuanwei gently stroked his long, snow-white beard, the gentle look in his eyes slowly fading away.

"Senior Brother, this young friend actually knows about the 'Three Pure Ones of Taoism'?" Venerable Qian Yuan walked to his side, his voice somewhat solemn.

"This matter is of paramount importance. We'll find an opportunity to ask about it properly after we've safely weathered this war against the alien races." Venerable Lingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and four sword lights flashed faintly behind him.
