Master, when can I become your wife?

Luo Yunxi: "No!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Yunxi gave her answer.

What a joke! She was Ye Junze's first Daoist partner, how could it possibly be Mo Qingyan's turn?

Mo Qingyan shook her head. "If it wasn't me, then it was you? Don't forget, your identity is your husband's disciple."

Although she was also Ye Junze's disciple, no one else knew about this except for her and Ye Junze.

Therefore, she is the true master's wife.

Therefore, she should naturally regard Luo Yunxi and the others as her teacher's wife, at least that's what she thinks.

Luo Yunxi retorted, "So what? That doesn't stop me from being Master's first Daoist partner."

"It was clearly me."

Qingqiu Xue wrinkled her nose. She and Luo Yunxi still had disagreements about this matter, and they had always had them.

Luo Yunxi choked, but now was not the time to argue with Qingqiu Xue; they should unite against the common enemy.

After a moment of silence, he said, "...Anyway, it wasn't her."

Qingqiu Xue: "Yes!"

Mo Qingyan looked at the two of them with a smile, "Alright, alright, it wasn't me, it was you two little ones, okay?"

Luo Yunxi, Qingqiu Xue: "..."

Why do I feel like I'm being pampered like a child...? This isn't right, is it?

Yue Qingge sat not far away, cracking sunflower seeds, watching Luo Yunxi and Mo Qingyan's argument with great interest.

This is so interesting!

It's definitely more fun here. It's just a pity that Luo Yunxi and the others will be going into seclusion to cultivate soon.

Should I also go into seclusion for a while?

……

Ye Junze, who was in seclusion researching the Chaos Pearl and his own innate treasure, was unaware that Luo Yunxi and the others were still arguing about who was the rightful wife.

At this very moment, he is attempting to refine the Chaos Pearl.

In reality, refining a Chaos Treasure is not that difficult; it's not much different from refining a Primordial Treasure.

All that's needed is time.

However, while refining the Chaos Pearl, Ye Junze also took the opportunity to check out his companion treasure.

"system"

For Ye Junze, this was a simple and straightforward name that he naturally came to understand the meaning of from the day he came of age.

At first, he thought this was a cheat code he had as a time traveler.

Now it seems...it really is true!

How can a Chaos Treasure not be considered a cheat code? Moreover, this system may not even be a Chaos Treasure; it may even be something above a Chaos Treasure.

At least for now, with his current level of cultivation, he can only sense the existence of the system, but he cannot fully control it.

However, a basic understanding can be achieved.

As for refining, this system, being an innate treasure, requires no refining at all.

Ye Junze was fully aware that it existed deep within his own origin and was a treasure that belonged only to him.

As for its efficacy, it was clearly stated from the beginning.

Normally, as long as you have enough disciples, this innate treasure is the most invincible thing.

If all the Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints in the entire Immortal Realm were his disciples, then it wouldn't be impossible for him to directly surpass the Saints.

If all the sages are his disciples, then perhaps he could directly transcend this world and be free from the control of the Heavenly Dao.

It seems that I have taken on too few disciples.

However, the quality of disciples should be emphasized over the quantity.

Luo Yunxi and her friends have a very high happiness index.

If a happiness index of 30 or 40 points represents a normal master-disciple relationship, then Luo Yunxi and her companion alone would be comparable to dozens of ordinary disciples.

"It's a pity that my cultivation level is still too low to explore the essence of the system. Perhaps I really should take on a few more disciples."

Ye Junze pondered, but he couldn't just accept any disciple; the happiness index was extremely important.

At present, Ling Yiyi seems to be the most suitable.

Wait a minute... Can flower fairies become one's disciples?

Logically speaking, shouldn't any living being be acceptable?

After all, Qingqiu Xue and Ruoyu are not human.

Although the flower fairy's cultivation level is not high, it is still improving.

Ye Junze thought for a moment and decided to wait until after he came out of seclusion to discuss it, since it was not yet possible to explore the essence of the system.

Then let's refine the Chaos Treasure first.

After initial refinement, one can attempt to enter the Chaos Pearl and use it in battle.

Thinking this, he began to focus all his attention on the Chaos Pearl.

……

Refining Chaos Treasures is an extremely time-consuming activity.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed.

Ye Junze has only just begun to grasp the Chaos Pearl. Everything is difficult at the beginning. After gaining initial control, the refining process will be much faster.

It is speculated that it will not be long, at most two thousand years, before they can completely control the Chaos Pearl and fully construct the world within it.

This means that the world within the Chaos Pearl needs to be constructed by oneself.

This is why, when the White Willow Demon Saint dragged them into the Chaos Pearl, all they saw was boundless nothingness.

Because the world within the Chaos Pearl has not yet been born, and the Chaos Pearl is not inherently a Chaos Treasure suitable for combat.

It is a functional Chaos Treasure.

Its main ability is to use the world within the Chaos Pearl to repair the torn sky of the Immortal Realm!

When Ye Junze learned this, he smiled wickedly.

So you've been waiting here all along?

No wonder the heavens were shattered, yet the Heavenly Dao did not allow a sage to repair them; it was entirely because the controller of the Chaos Pearl could do so.

Moreover, it does not require the cultivation level of a saint; only the cultivation level of a quasi-saint is needed.

Most importantly, repairing the celestial canopy also yields a great deal of merit. Even after becoming a saint, merit and fortune are of paramount importance.

Otherwise, why would those two sages of Buddhism and Taoism have rebuilt Buddhism?

Ye Junze stared at the boundless void within the Chaos Pearl, speechless for a moment.

"It seems that even the collapse of the world's pillars was part of the Heavenly Dao's plan? Then, was my breakthrough to Quasi-Saint through merit also within the Heavenly Dao's expectations?"

On the other hand, what would happen if I suddenly didn't want to become a saint anymore, but instead gave the Chaos Pearl to Jian Changge and let Jian Changge become a saint?

Was it Heaven's cruel hand that caused Jian Changge's demise, or did Jian Changge successfully attain sainthood and become the tenth saint?

Ye Junze fell silent. This wasn't just him overthinking; it was a decision he had to make in the face of reality.

This Chaos Pearl is not the key to attaining sainthood.

The key to attaining sainthood lies in the wisp of primordial purple energy remaining within the Chaos Pearl... that is the crucial element for achieving sainthood.

Only by refining this wisp of primordial purple energy can one attain sainthood and achieve enlightenment.

Such a path to sainthood means that everything in the future will be subject to the control of the Heavenly Way.

Jian Changge... undoubtedly has his own purpose.

He never hid this fact; he just didn't explicitly state his purpose.

But... it's highly likely that it's inextricably linked to the very act of attaining sainthood.
