Dead silence.
Monarch in Harmony with the World, Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven, and Monarch in Harmony with the Earth were all dumbfounded. They looked at Wu Tian and the little one in confusion, suddenly suspecting they hadn’t been clear enough.
Not clear enough? So Wu Tian and the little one didn’t understand? Or could it be that they still don’t know what we three elders are capable of?
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven sighed. "We are Immortals!"
Fearing they still didn’t understand, Monarch in Harmony with the Earth continued, "And not just any Immortals, but the most supre among them! We are the very beings you Immortal Seekers have been so desperately searching for!"
Monarch in Harmony with the World added, "The three of us can truly be said to possess boundless mana. Our very titles should tell you how powerful we are."
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven spoke again, "As long as you take us as your masters, immortality is a certainty! Unrivaled dominance will be a trivial matter!"
Surely they understand now, after we’ve said so much, right? the three elders thought simultaneously. In our eyes, this opportunity is no less significant than when the Monkey King t Master Puti. This is like the Monkey King being personally chosen by all Three Pure Ones at once! What an imnse blessing! What incredible luck! What a monuntal opportunity! It’s a chance that cos once in a thousand years, sothing beyond description. Even calling it a once-in-ten-thousand-year encounter wouldn’t be enough to capture it. At least, that’s how we see it.
"You’re the most supre beings among Immortals? Like The Three Pure Ones?" Wu Tian asked slowly, his expression strange.
The three elders all nodded, thinking to themselves that this man had finally grasped just how terrifying, supre, and noble their existence was—a status equal to that of heaven and earth itself.
"I don’t believe you!"
But Wu Tian’s next words left the three elders completely stunned.
What Immortals? What supre beings? The Cultivators on Earth are all gone. The true Immortals have also vanished, though no one knows how. All that’s left are the Immortal Seekers who received the blessings of Cultivation, and the people in this Taoist temple who received the blessings of Immortals. Do they really think receiving a few blessings makes them the equals of the original masters? Isn’t that ridiculous? How could these three elders possibly compare to The Three Pure Ones? The Three Pure Ones were born as Innate great powers!
"I only wish to cultivate in this Abyss. Is that alright? As for becoming a disciple? I’m not interested," Wu Tian stated.
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven, though montarily stunned, was the first to recover. He chuckled, "Of course!"
I believe Wu Tian and his daughter will change their minds one day, he thought. It’s like with Xuanzang; knowing he was studying the lesser Theravada Buddhist Scriptures, he undertook an arduous journey to the West to obtain the greater Mahayana Tripitaka Buddhist Scriptures. But in their case? There’s no need for them to endure imnse hardships. They only need to accept us as their masters. How could Wu Tian not cherish such an opportunity? He will regret this sooner or later.
Wu Tian smiled. "What if I absorb all the Spiritual Energy here?"
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven laughed. What a joke! An absolute joke! There’s so much Spiritual Energy here; you think you can absorb it all? You couldn’t do it even if I gave you a thousand years!
"Absorb as much as you like!" Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven said dismissively.
Wu Tian nodded and imdiately left, carrying the little one.
SMACK!
The most fiery-tempered of the three, Monarch in Harmony with the Earth, finally reacted. He slamd his palm on the ground, making the earth tremble. "He... he is so ungrateful! He has no idea what kind of beings we are! Such ignorance! Utter ignorance!"
Who are we? In this era, we are the equivalent of The Three Pure Ones! The only Immortals left are the people in this Taoist temple, and the three of us are the most supre among them. Isn’t our status the sa as The Three Pure Ones? The Immortal Seekers are desperately searching for Immortals. Aren’t we who they’re looking for? The three elders believed that if they were to reveal themselves to the world, countless Immortal Seekers would be driven mad with joy.
Yet Wu Tian had rejected them. It was sothing they couldn’t even have imagined.
Monarch in Harmony with the World chuckled. "Isn’t this for the best? This way, none of us gets him."
Monarch in Harmony with the Earth snorted angrily. He and Monarch in Harmony with the World then looked toward Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven. "Since he refuses to be our disciple, he’s severing his own path to Immortality. Why are we letting them stay here? This is a divine land. It shouldn’t be defiled by mortals. We should erase their mories and send them back where they ca from."
However, Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven shook his head. "We have never in our lives seen two individuals with such aptitude. To not accept such talents as our disciples would be a lifelong regret."
Monarch in Harmony with the Earth and Monarch in Harmony with the World both nodded. A regret, indeed. A true regret!
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven spoke again. "Letting them stay gives them a chance, and it gives us one too. It’s an opportunity to show him that we are truly supre. Let him co to regret his decision. Let him co back and bow three tis and kowtow nine tis, begging to beco our disciple."
The eyes of Monarch in Harmony with the World and Monarch in Harmony with the Earth lit up, and they both nodded in agreent.
"Indeed. He will eventually realize what a great opportunity he has missed."
"He will regret it!"
「...」
After erging with his daughter, Wu Tian spoke briefly with Qin Yuhan and the others, then led them out of the Taoist temple to cultivate in the forest. Their first task, of course, was to build a small wooden cabin among the trees.
anwhile, news of Wu Tian’s rejection of the three elders spread like wildfire throughout the entire temple.
Who were the three elders? To the children of the temple, who all considered themselves Immortals, the three elders were "Saints"! And yet, Wu Tian and his daughter had refused to beco disciples of such beings?
BOOM!
The children of the temple were first astonished, and then the entire community erupted into an uproar. This was sothing they couldn’t have even dared to imagine. In the hearts of all the temple’s youth, Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven, Monarch in Harmony with the World, and Monarch in Harmony with the Earth were invincible, the supre beings above all Immortals.
But today, soone had actually refused them? This was absolutely cosmic, super-massive news.
When Lan Qingfeng and Lv Mingyue heard, they were particularly dumbfounded.
What a pity, Lan Qingfeng thought to himself.
But the six-year-old Lv Mingyue gloated at their misfortune. "He doesn’t appreciate it now, but he’ll definitely regret it to death later."
Of course, none of this mattered to Wu Tian. He and his group were already outside the Taoist temple, building a treehouse high up in an ancient tree. Once it was complete, Liu Tianji and the others began their Cultivation. The little one and Qin Yuhan did as well.
Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and the little one shared a single treehouse. Watching Qin Yuhan and his daughter cultivate, Wu Tian nodded slightly.
Qin Yuhan now has an immaculate body, so she cultivates faster than Liu Tianji’s group. But she’s still not as fast as the little one. The little one’s Wind and Cloud Overbearing Scripture is a signature technique of the Empress, one of the ten great scriptures of the Immortal Emperor Realm. Why didn’t I teach it to Qin Yuhan? Because it’s not suitable for her.
Soon, Wu Tian also sat down and began to cultivate. The Spiritual Energy in the Abyss was incredibly dense, and cultivating here, he finally felt a asure of satisfaction. Because the energy was so abundant, no one imdiately noticed the massive amount he was absorbing.
By my calculations, it will take three days to drain all the Spiritual Energy in this Abyss! By then, I’ll reach the late stage of the Tongxuan Realm. The sheer vastness of the Spiritual Energy I’ll command will be like that of a Cultivator at the twelfth realm, the Crossing Tribulation stage. When that happens, I imagine those three who call themselves the modern-day Three Pure Ones—Monarch in Harmony with the World, Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven, and Monarch in Harmony with the Earth—might just cry themselves to death. Still, they said they didn’t mind how much I absorbed! Heh.
