Chapter 386: Rewarding the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, Yuan Hong's Attitude

Three Immortals Island.

After returning, Gu Xiu has been leisurely these past few days, strolling around Three Immortals Island every day.

The Sect of the Enlightenment's various minor activities in the mortal world are reported by disciples abroad to Duobao Daoist, who then reports them to him, so Gu Xiu enjoys leisure.

Bi Xiao also invited him to soak in the immortal spring again, but Gu Xiu refused, as the Investiture of the Gods is now at a critical juncture and cannot be distracted by other matters.

Early in the morning, while having tea with Yun Xiao at the stone table.

In his mind, the system's notification sounded.

Ding!

The host has killed four golden immortals of the Sect of the Enlightenment, shaken its foundation, Yuanshi Tianzun, out of shame and anger, plans to personally intervene and send disciples of the Jie Sect to the list, triggering an event option; please host make a choice.

Option One: Notify the Jie Sect disciples not to venture out lightly for now, reward: 100,000 years of cultivation!

Option Two: Inform Duobao, let him convey it to Tongtian, reward: a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Duobao Heavenly Wheel Pagoda!

Option Three: Go to Bi You Palace, personally inform Tongtian of this, reward: the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Dao Fruit! (After consumption, no bottleneck, can directly advance to Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal!)

Having looked at the three options before him.

The first and second options, Gu Xiu directly ruled out.

His gaze fell on the third option, and the reward was actually the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

After consumption, he directly advanced to Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal.

Based on his previous consumption of the Great Luo Dao Fruit, which elevated him to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, directly consuming the Dao fruit has no side effects; its foundation is even more solid than that cultivated step by step.

He silently recited in his mind.

System-made products are always excellent; System, I choose three.

As the thought arose, the system sounded.

Ding!

Selection successful, mission time limit one day; please host complete it as soon as possible, overdue mission will be cancelled!

Seeing Gu Xiu's unusual expression, Yun Xiao looked puzzled.

"Gu Xiu, what's wrong?"

Gu Xiu glanced at Yun Xiao and smiled faintly: "Master, I recall there is an important matter that I need to personally inform the Patriarch at Bi You Palace."

"Since it's an important matter, go ahead, don't delay." Yun Xiao did not ask further.

Gu Xiu rose and clasped his hands in salute.

"Master, after I return, I will then tell you the details."

……

At this moment.

Somewhere in Mei Mountain.

In a patch of grass.

After being rescued by Gu Xiu, Jin Dasheng was now slowly waking from unconsciousness, discovering to his surprise that he was still alive.

"I'm actually not dead?"

In an instant, the horrific scene before his unconsciousness surfaced in his mind.

The Mei Mountain Six Monsters suffered cruelly at the hands of Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and Puxian Zhenren, being subdued by force.

Jin Dasheng's heart tightened, and he hurried back to the stronghold of the Seven Monsters.

Before his eyes lay a scene of devastation; Jin Dasheng's legs went weak and he knelt down.

"Old Three, Old Four, Old Five, Old Six, Old Seven, it's second brother's fault toward you, but rest assured, I will inform the eldest brother and have him avenge you!"

Carrying grief and indignation, Jin Dasheng left Mei Mountain, heading for Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Rosy Clouds Cave to find Yuan Hong.

Since Master Yuding confessed to Yuan Hong that he was the one who taught Yuan Hong the Eight Nine Mystic Arts.

Yuan Hong then followed Master Yuding in cultivation.

Later, following Master Yuding back to Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Rosy Clouds Cave, he became an official third-generation disciple of the Sect of the Enlightenment.

Staying constantly in Jade Spring Mountain, unable to act as freely as in Mei Mountain, made Yuan Hong quite irritable.

Remaining in Jade Spring Mountain allowed Master Yuding to transmit the Eight Nine Mystic Arts, which is why he has endured until now.

These days, Yuan Hong has felt a vague unease, always sensing that something has happened.

While hunting on the mountain for a sacrificial feast, he noticed a faint movement coming from the grass not far away and shouted.

"Who! Get out here quickly, this king can spare your life!"

As soon as the words fell, Jin Dasheng emerged from the grass, saw Yuan Hong, and immediately let out a sorrowful cry.

"Eldest brother."

Seeing that the person who emerged was Jin Dasheng, Yuan Hong blinked in surprise, eyes doubtful: "Old Two, you're not in Mei Mountain; what are you doing here?"

Jin Dasheng did not respond, his face full of grief and indignation as he said: "Eldest brother, you must avenge our brothers!"

Seeing this, Yuan Hong furrowed his brows slightly: "Old Two, what exactly happened?"

"Eldest brother, the Mei Mountain Seven Monsters no longer exist; Old Three, Old Four, Old Five, Old Six, Old Seven have been killed." Jin Dasheng's face was full of sorrow, his voice trembling, filled with grief and indignation.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong's heart jolted, a surge of anger rushed to his head, his eyes instantly turning blood-red: "Who is so bold as to dare lay hands on my Mei Mountain brothers! Old Two, who exactly did this?"

Jin Dasheng gritted his teeth, speaking word by word: "Eldest brother, judging from their conversation, it seems to be two golden immortals of the Sect of the Enlightenment, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and Puxian Zhenren; they struck ruthlessly, the brothers had no power to retaliate; at the time I was knocked unconscious, and upon waking I discovered… discovered that the brothers had all suffered a cruel fate."

Yuan Hong was furious, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Old Two, are you sure you didn't mistake them? They really are two golden immortals of the Sect of the Enlightenment?"

Jin Dasheng thought: "Eldest brother, when they spoke, they addressed each other as Puxian junior brother and Manjusri senior brother; after waking I recalled their conversation and roughly guessed their identities—boundless magical power, vast divine abilities, a mere raise of hand could suppress us; aside from golden immortals of the Sect of the Enlightenment, I can't think of anyone else who could be this strong."

Yuan Hong furrowed his brows slightly; he was merely a third-generation disciple, dealing with golden immortals of the Sect of the Enlightenment is somewhat troublesome.

"Old Two, I will surely investigate this matter thoroughly and seek justice for the brothers."

Jin Dasheng looked anxious: "Elder brother, the brothers died too tragically, what are you still hesitating for? We must make them pay blood for blood. Could it be that now that you have become a third-generation disciple of the Sect of the Enlightenment, you no longer care whether the brothers live or die?"

"Damn it! Lao Er has turned against you, and you dare speak to me like this?" Yuan Hong unleashed a blast of magical power, sending Jin Dasheng flying, and shouted angrily: "I need to clarify the circumstances; I am currently on Jade Spring Mountain, within the territory of the Sect of the Enlightenment, and must act with utmost caution. Acting rashly would not only fail to avenge us, but could also cost our lives."

"Elder brother, you've changed. In the past, whenever the brothers had trouble, you were always the first to lead the charge, but now you are so afraid of death and indecisive." Jin Dasheng's face filled with anger.

Yuan Hong spoke slowly: "Before, when we were on Plum Mountain, we dealt only with mountain monsters and loose immortals; we seven brothers together naturally had confidence, but now it's different. Lao Er, you need to assess the situation."

Having said that, Yuan Hong's expression hardened slightly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, and he spoke to comfort: "Lao Er, rest assured, if it was truly done by a Golden Immortal of the Sect of the Enlightenment, I, Yuan Hong, will certainly avenge the brothers. Go back first; I will get to the bottom of this."

Having said that, Yuan Hong walked over, patted Jin Dasheng on the shoulder, and then left.

Watching Yuan Hong's retreating back, Jin Dasheng couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Pah! Cowardly, fond of vanity trash—we were truly blind to have chosen you as our elder brother; the brothers' vengeance will be mine to take!"
