"Kunpeng Technique! Kunpeng Absorption."

The immense suction force, like a black hole, absorbed everything around it; neither air nor light could escape, and a sense of vastness and boundlessness was immediately revealed.

As expected of someone destined to become a demon master, his strength is considerable. His powerful attraction is like a strange and incomparable net, and Yi Shuihan is the prey in this net.

Regardless of what would happen if he were sucked in, Yi Shuihan would definitely not let Kunpeng succeed. No matter how strange Kunpeng was, he would break it with a single punch.

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, Yi Shuihan unleashed his strongest punch to date. As soon as the punch was thrown, the world changed color, and half of the prehistoric continent was enveloped by this astonishing aura.

Countless powerful hermits were awakened and stared in horror in the direction where Yi Shuihan was.

"Who is it? One of them should be Kunpeng, and who is he fighting?"

Yi Shuihan's aura was unfamiliar to the entire prehistoric world, so they naturally couldn't recognize him.

Beyond the Nine Heavens, the Purple Cloud Palace

Hongjun gazed at the primordial continent, and the figure of Yi Shuihan appeared in his eyes. He remained silent. He was probably the first to know about Yi Shuihan's origins. He knew of Yi Shuihan's existence when the Heavenly Dao discovered him.

"You who have come from beyond the primordial world, I hope you will not interfere with the workings of the primordial world, otherwise..."

Under Yi Shuihan's domineering fist, Kunpeng was forced out of its spellcasting state, its figure retreating tens of thousands of miles before it could dissipate the force.

Kunpeng transformed directly into its true form, and with a flap of its enormous wings, it traversed hundreds of thousands of miles to arrive before Yi Shuihan once again.

Without a word, Yi Shuihan lunged forward, his figure flashing as he unleashed a barrage of punches. Numerous distorted vortexes appeared in the void, accompanied by thunder. The surrounding spiritual energy was incredibly chaotic; even a Golden Immortal would be injured by it. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would not dare to easily step into this battlefield.

"So strong! Who is that person?"

"An old monster who has been hiding his strength is actually suppressing Kunpeng in the fight."

"After today, another great power will rise in the primordial world."

Faced with Yi Shuihan's attack power, which was comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint at the peak, all of Kunpeng's spells were completely ineffective. In addition, he did not have a single spiritual treasure that could play a decisive role. Soon after the battle began, he was completely at a disadvantage and was not far from defeat.

Chapter 1023, Harvesting the Fruit

"Taiyi, I, Kunpeng, will remember you."

With a deafening roar, Kunpeng ran towards the North Sea. That's right, he ran away. Kunpeng wasn't a fool. Seeing that he couldn't defeat Yi Shuihan and that continuing would only lead to his own downfall, he naturally made the most appropriate choice.

"Trying to run away? Did you ask me first?"

However, Kunpeng was destined for misfortune today. In order to firmly establish his reputation in the prehistoric world, Yi Shuihan had no intention of letting things go peacefully. But before that...

"Holy Spirit, do you know approximately when the Three Lights Vine Fruit will ripen?"

"It should be ripe in 3 days."

"Three days later? That's still a long way off. No need to say anything, let's continue with Kunpeng."

Yi Shuihan pursued Kunpeng aggressively. Kunpeng was fast, but Yi Shuihan was not slow either, and the distance between them was closing.

In the valley where the Three Light Vine Fruit is located

Hongyun exclaimed in amazement, "This Fellow Daoist Taiyi is too fierce! Kunpeng is no match for him at all. He's chasing after Kunpeng right now!"

"It's best to avoid provoking this person unless absolutely necessary in the future."

Zhen Yuanzi thought to himself that he had included Yi Shuihan in the list of dangerous people.

"Isn't he being a bit too domineering? The Kunpeng has already run away, and he's still chasing after it."

Yuanshi said weakly that he had switched places with Kunpeng and realized that if he were Kunpeng, he would have met the same result today, which hurt him a little.

“Kunpeng was wrong first. Fellow Daoist Taiyi was just retaliating. If Fellow Daoist Taiyi hadn’t been so strong, he would probably be the one being bullied now. Fellow Daoist Taiyi, this is true character.”

Tongtian appreciated Yi Shuihan's behavior and spoke well of him.

Laozi remained silent. As the leader of the Three Pure Ones and the legitimate successor of Pangu, Laozi was not convinced by anyone except Hongjun. He didn't even take the Ancestral Witches like Houtu seriously. However, today Yi Shuihan gave him a surprise. His mysterious background, powerful strength, and magical system made Laozi unable to underestimate Yi Shuihan. He had already regarded Yi Shuihan as an equal.

If Yi Shuihan knew what Laozi was thinking, he would probably say, "This is nothing! I haven't really unleashed my full power yet. Once I've revealed everything, the Three Pure Ones are nothing but fleeting clouds."

The pursuit of Kunpeng lasted for more than two days. Yi Shuihan chased Kunpeng until he had nowhere to run, leaving him completely exasperated. The extent of the shadow that Kunpeng felt for Yi Shuihan was so great that it could only be calculated using calculus.

In fact, with Yi Shuihan's strength, he could have easily killed Kunpeng. Yi Shuihan initially thought so too, but he later gave up because the Heavenly Dao warned him that Kunpeng was a very important supporting character in the prehistoric world. It would be fine if he were killed by the locals of the prehistoric world, but if Yi Shuihan killed Kunpeng, the Heavenly Dao would probably throw Yi Shuihan out of the prehistoric world. If the Heavenly Dao then sent Hongjun to take action, Yi Shuihan would not be able to withstand it at all.

Even if he couldn't be killed, Yi Shuihan still wanted to teach Kunpeng a profound lesson. He chased him for hundreds of millions of miles, covering almost half of the prehistoric world. If it weren't for the Three Lights Vine Fruit, Yi Shuihan could have chased him for another ten days and ten nights without any problem.

Kunpeng was initially defiant, wanting to wait for the right time to retaliate. However, during the pursuit, he eventually lost all desire for revenge and from then on, he would definitely avoid any place where Yi Shuihan appeared.

......

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi is back. Is Kunpeng dead?"

Two days was nothing to Hongyun and the others, so they waited in the valley. As soon as Yi Shuihan returned, Hongyun asked.

"He's not dead. I don't actually have any deep-seated hatred for him. I just taught him a lesson."

Yi Shuihan said with a smile, but to others, the smile seemed fake no matter how much she tried to put it on.

After chasing someone for more than two days, is this what you call a simple lesson?

“Fellow Daoist Taiyi, your strength is not weak. If you have time, we can also verify your Dao techniques.”

Tongtian was somewhat eager to try.

"Fighting is out of the question, but discussing the Dao is possible."

Yi Shuihan's combat strength and cultivation are not weak, but in terms of realm, he is not that strong. Compared with the Three Pure Ones, who have cultivated for countless eons, he is still too young. If it were a discussion of the Dao, he would definitely benefit the most. Of course, the Three Pure Ones would also gain some things from him that they could learn from, such as the law of time.

"Why not just do it today instead of choosing another day? Why don't we discuss this right here?"

Hongyun suggested.

Discussing the Dao with a powerful cultivator of equal cultivation level is a very common thing in the prehistoric world. Generally speaking, everyone is very willing to do so, since discussing the Dao can help each other verify their own Dao, which is very beneficial to cultivation.

"I think this fruit will ripen within a day. Why don't we wait until it's ripe and then find a place to discuss the Dao?"

Discussions about the Dao in the primordial era, even the shortest ones, would take several days to finish; the longest ones are measured in years.

"That's fine too."

So the group continued to wait in the valley for the Three Lights Vine Fruit to ripen, chatting intermittently. Most of the time, Hongyun talked about things from the prehistoric era, while Yi Shuihan listened. Sometimes Hongyun and the others would ask Yi Shuihan some questions, and as long as they weren't too personal, Yi Shuihan would answer them.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

The spiritual energy in the valley suddenly fluctuated violently at a certain moment. In the small pool of the Three Lights Divine Water, the fruit on the vine suddenly burst out with amazing golden light, and waves of Dao essence permeated it. Countless complex runes could be vaguely seen.

Is it almost ripe?

Yi Shuihan smelled an extraordinary fragrance that made his body restless. He was sure it was the most fragrant scent he had ever smelled in his life.

The Three Pure Ones also noticed that the fruit was about to ripen, and they watched this scene in amazement. In terms of the extraordinary phenomena of the birth of treasures, the phenomenon of the Three Lights Vine Fruit was actually not very significant and was rather ordinary. However, seeing how much Yi Shuihan valued the Three Lights Vine Fruit, they did not underestimate its value.

The moment the Three Lights Vine Fruit ripens, it detaches from the vine and falls into the pool. The vine withers rapidly after being separated from the fruit and disappears into the world in the blink of an eye.

If no one takes this fruit in the right way, it will return to the world before it falls to the ground and will never appear in this primordial world again.

Yi Shuihan had been waiting for this moment, so he quickly collected the Three Light Vine Fruit.

"They're all contribution points!"

Having obtained the Three Lights Vine Fruit, Yi Shuihan's smile never faded; anyone could tell he was in a good mood.

Chapter 1024, Kunlun Discussion

"I don't want the rest of the Three Lights Divine Water, you can divide it among yourselves!"

Having received a huge benefit, Yi Shuihan decided to be generous this time. Since he had already taken most of the Three Lights Divine Water, he didn't care about the rest!

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, the Sanqing and the others softened their gazes towards him, realizing that Yi Shuihan was a decent person.

Without the Yi Shui Han Fen, the remaining San Guang Shen Shui was divided into 6 equal portions, each weighing approximately tens of kilograms, enough for about ten uses.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the valley was originally very high. Before the formation was broken, the concentration of spiritual energy inside was about a hundred times that outside. After the formation was broken, it dropped to about 50 times. Now that the Three Light Vine Fruit has ripened and been harvested, and the Three Light Divine Water is gone, the spiritual energy has dropped to only a few times that outside, and it is still dropping. It is estimated that it will not be long before the spiritual energy in the valley is in sync with that outside.

Since they had agreed to discuss the Dao, they naturally needed to find a good place. So Yi Shuihan accepted the invitation from the Three Pure Ones to go to Kunlun Mountain. At present, the Three Pure Ones have not yet separated, so they are still on Kunlun Mountain.

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi did not go together. They made an agreement with Yi Shuihan that once Yi Shuihan left Sanqing, they would go to Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, where Zhen Yuanzi would treat them to ginseng fruit.

As an ancestral witch, Houtu focused on cultivating the physical body and naturally had no Dao to discuss. She also made an appointment with Yi Shuihan to visit her after Yi Shuihan finished discussing the Dao.

"What a blessed and beautiful place! You three fellow Daoists are indeed deeply fortunate."

Upon arriving at Kunlun Mountain and witnessing its breathtaking spiritual energy, Yi Shuihan naturally offered a compliment.

“If Fellow Daoist Taiyi has nowhere to go, you can stay and be our neighbor. Kunlun is quite large anyway.”

Tongtian smiled and said that he really didn't mind Yi Shuihan staying in Kunlun Mountain, but he didn't know what his two brothers thought. Laozi couldn't tell. Yuanshi's eyes flashed with anger, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with Tongtian's decision.

"No need. I already have a place to stay, and my family is there too. Although it's not as good as Kunlun Mountain, it's enough. After all, at our level of cultivation, we don't have such a great need for the external environment."

The place Yi Shuihan mentioned as his place of residence was naturally his personal space. It was an understatement to say that it was not as good as Kunlun Mountain. Although his personal world was not as good as the prehistoric world in essence, as the master of the world, it would be quite easy for him to create a mountain that was similar to or even better than Kunlun Mountain.

"Oh? I wonder where you cultivate?"

Tongtian asked curiously, and Laozi and Yuanshi also looked at Yi Shuihan. Tongtian had asked a similar question when they were in the valley.

With a slight smile, Yi Shuihan pretended to make a few hand seals, and a huge portal appeared in front of him. Pointing to the portal, he said, "This is inside."

The Three Pure Ones were all knowledgeable; they could tell from the aura emanating from the door what kind of place Yi Shuihan was referring to—a world different from the Primordial World. They also understood the concept of the Three Thousand Worlds and could comprehend its mysteries.

"Would you be interested in taking a look?"

He extended a very generous invitation.

"It's more important to discuss the Dao first; we can go later when we have more time."

Yuanshi spoke before Tongtian could, because he was genuinely afraid that Tongtian would foolishly agree. Who knew what the world on the other side of the gate was like, or whether there was any danger?

Following the Three Pure Ones, we arrived at a palace, which was where Lao Tzu practiced. It was quite simple, with only a few futons in the room.

After everyone sat down, Lao Tzu spoke first, saying, "Then I'll begin!"

"Fellow Taoist, please."

Finally, it was time to discuss the Dao, and Yi Shuihan became serious, as he was very much looking forward to the Dao of the Three Pure Ones.

"The Way of Heaven is like the drawing of a bow. It lowers what is high and raises what is low. It diminishes what is excessive and supplements what is insufficient. The Way of Heaven diminishes the excessive and supplements the insufficient. The Way gives birth to them, Virtue nourishes them, things take shape, and circumstances bring them to completion. Therefore, all things honor the Way and value Virtue. The honor of the Way and the value of Virtue are not commanded but are naturally so. Thus, the Way gives birth to them, Virtue nourishes them, fosters and nurtures them, matures and protects them, sustains and covers them. It gives birth without possessing, acts without relying on its own power, and nurtures without dominating. This is called Profound Virtue..."

Once he opened his mouth, he began to speak eloquently, clearly explaining his philosophy.

Lao Tzu's Tao is extremely profound and has great reference value. Yi Shuihan immediately immersed himself in the Tao that Lao Tzu spoke of.

Lao Tzu spoke for more than two months before stopping, and Yi Shuihan remained in a state of enlightenment about the Dao for a full day before finally coming to his senses.

"Fellow Daoist Laozi, your Daoist arts are indeed profound. I have learned a great deal!"

Yi Shuihan wasn't flattering him; he was telling the truth. The gains he made in these seven days were equivalent to hundreds of years of cultivation on his own. He had made a huge profit.

Lao Tzu smiled slightly, pleased to be recognized by Yi Shuihan. Even though he practiced the Way of Non-Action, he was still very happy, for Non-Action does not mean being heartless.

After Laozi, Yuanshi preached the Dao, and then Tongtian. Their Daos were all different, which were good nourishment for Yi Shuihan. Although they wouldn't help Yi Shuihan break through, they saved him a lot of time.

When it was Yi Shuihan's turn, he was generous and shared his understanding of thunder and time. Although his overall understanding of the Dao was inferior to that of any of the Three Pure Ones, it still gave the Three Pure Ones a considerable benefit.

After a series of mutual verifications, several more months passed, and finally, a friendly battle was fought with Tongtian, which ended in a draw thanks to Yi Shuihan's deliberate control.

"Brother, what's your opinion on Taiyi?"

After Yi Shuihan left, Yuanshi asked Laozi.

"This person is unfathomable; it is better to befriend him than to make him an enemy."

Laozi recalled his time with Yi Shuihan and slowly said that Yi Shuihan had left a deep impression on him, with his powerful strength and complex background.

"Brother is right, Fellow Daoist Taiyi is indeed worth befriending."

Tongtian agreed from the side.

Yuanshi remained silent. He had some differing opinions, but since Laozi and Tongtian had reached a consensus, he did not intend to voice them.

After leaving Kunlun, Yi Shuihan rushed towards Wuzhuang Temple without stopping, as he was also somewhat tempted by the ginseng fruit.

On the way to Wuzhuang Temple, Yi Shuihan first exchanged one Sanguang Vine Fruit for contribution points, bringing his contribution points to an unprecedented 3100, which was enough to confidently purchase more goods.

Chapter 1025, Another System Gift

"The company's efficiency is indeed fast. This method of transmitting things across countless worlds is simply amazing."

Seeing the Three Lights Vine Fruit break through the barrier in his hand, and the contribution points arriving in his account just a few hours after the fruit was sent, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, without this means of teleportation, it would be much more troublesome for the company to start its business. Going to an uncertain world with a large number of systems would be risky, and if something were to happen, the company would suffer significant losses. However, with this means of teleportation, the losses can be minimized.

The reason why Yi Shuihan's contribution points took several hours to arrive was probably because the other side needed to test the Three Light Vine Fruit and go through a series of procedures. The purchase system is different; last time it only took a few seconds.

It took several more days to reach Wuzhuang Temple, the Taoist temple of Zhen Yuanzi.
