Three days later.
Medicine King Valley, thatched hut.
Because he returned with the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor, Gu Xuan almost got lost in the cosmic space passage.
Fortunately, guided by the fragments of the World Tree, they finally returned to the right path.
Therefore, the journey from the Primordial Divine Realm back to the Primordial Immortal Realm took three days.
When Gu Xuan returned to this familiar place.
Everything was exactly the same as when he left, without the slightest change.
However, when his gaze fell on the stone stool next to his recliner, he discovered an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face sitting there leisurely.
The old Taoist priest was dressed in a simple Taoist robe, with silver hair and a kind face, yet he exuded an extraordinary and refined air.
Because no one plays chess with him.
He was actually entertaining himself by playing a game of chess with both hands, the pieces in his hand flying across the board, seemingly completely absorbed in the game.
Not only that, the old Taoist also used the purple clay teapot that Gu Xuan had made according to the method of his previous life to brew a pot of the finest Enlightenment Tea.
The fragrant aroma of the tea was so enticing that it was truly delightful.
The old Taoist priest picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
It was as if this thatched hut had become his home, without the slightest restraint or formality.
Seeing this scene.
Gu Xuan's face darkened. Did this Laozi really think he was the owner of the thatched hut?
Did you ask for my opinion?!
He then walked over with a dark face and said, "I said this is my territory, Lao Jun, right? You're really not being polite."
"Young friend, you're back?"
With a smile on his face, Laozi slowly raised his head and his gaze gradually fell on Gu Xuan, who was walking towards him.
Gu Xuan rolled his eyes when he heard Laozi's words.
Then she plopped down in a chair and said irritably, "If I hadn't come back soon, that old man would have stolen my house, wouldn't he?!"
"Hehe, you flatter me, young friend."
Upon hearing this, Laozi smiled.
After saying his piece, Gu Xuan stared straight at Laozi opposite him.
The playful expression on his face instantly turned serious.
"Laojun, don't try to fool me. We're both sensible people, so let's stop beating around the bush."
“Although that old fellow Hongjun was not completely eliminated, I severely injured him and he escaped. I have also completely removed the Dao seed from your bodies.”
Laozi listened to Gu Xuan's words.
He didn't respond immediately; he just looked at Gu Xuan quietly.
After a while.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Young friend, your strength has indeed impressed me."
"Stop saying such useless things."
"Your presence here, Laozi, is enough to explain everything."
Gu Xuan waved his hand, then changed the subject, "I've put in so much effort, shouldn't you, Lao Jun, also show some appreciation?"
Laozi, upon hearing this, did not reply.
With a gentle wave of his right hand, a simple, ancient blue-green ring appeared in his palm as if by magic.
This Qiankun Ring looks completely unremarkable.
However, it exudes an ancient and mysterious aura, quite different from ordinary Qiankun Rings.
Laozi pushed the Qiankun Ring in front of Gu Xuan and said with a smile, "Young friend, open it and see if you are satisfied."
"You think you can just fob me off with a Qiankun Ring?"
Gu Xuan's gaze fell on the Qiankun Ring in front of him, and he frowned slightly.
Despite some dissatisfaction in his heart.
He still reached out and took the Qiankun Ring, injecting a wisp of his divine sense into it.
However, just as his divine sense probed into the Qiankun Ring...
Gu Xuan's pupils suddenly constricted!
My body felt as if it had been struck by a powerful force, and I froze on the spot.
The next second, Gu Xuan's face showed an expression of disbelief and astonishment!
His eyes widened as he stared intently at the inside of the Qiankun Ring, as if he had seen something extremely astonishing.
Because, within this Qiankun Ring.
Instead of the rare treasures he had expected, there were four fragments lying quietly, emitting a strange light.
Each of these fragments is only the size of a fist.
But it exuded a powerful aura that could not be ignored; that fragment—was actually a fragment of the World Tree!
It begins with activating the quest to collect World Tree fragments in the Celestial Realm.
so far.
He barely managed to obtain three fragments of the World Tree after completing the system tasks.
In addition, Hongjun had been searching for the fragments of the World Tree, but to no avail.
But how could he not find it unbelievable that Laozi could so easily produce four fragments of the World Tree?!
........
After the initial shock.
Gu Xuan's gaze returned to the Supreme Lord Laozi opposite him, becoming extremely sharp. "How do you have so many fragments of the World Tree? Where did you collect them from?!"
"How is it? Are you satisfied?!"
Lao Tzu did not give a direct answer, but instead asked with a smile.
After accepting the Qiankun Ring containing the fragments of the World Tree, Gu Xuan smiled knowingly and said, "Not enough!"
"I knew you weren't satisfied, young friend. I have more here."
Laozi seemed to have anticipated Gu Xuan's reaction. He slowly extended his right hand and gently flipped it over.
Two Qiankun Rings, emitting a faint light, suddenly appeared in his palm.
Upon seeing this, Gu Xuan unceremoniously grabbed the two Qiankun Rings.
At the same time, a wisp of divine sense quickly reached out and pierced into the Qiankun Ring like a bolt of lightning.
When Gu Xuan's consciousness entered the first Qiankun Ring.
