260: Chapter 260 Guang Chengzi attains enlightenment and becomes a quasi-sage.

"Junior Brother, Junior Sister... resources..." These words were like a bolt of Zixiao Divine Thunder, slamming into his Daluo Dao Fruit.

Guangchengzi did not say anything more; he simply took a deep look at that Golden Immortal Heavenly Soldier, then transformed into a streak of light and fled toward the Thunder Department.

Along the way, the words of that Golden Immortal Heavenly Soldier lingered in his heart.

"A Golden Immortal with no background, serving in the Heavenly Court, risking his life, yet he still knows that the moment he receives his reward, he thinks of his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters far away in the Lower Realm..."

Guangchengzi sped through the clouds, his heart surging with turbulent waves, feeling a trace of self-mockery and overwhelming shame.

He thought of himself, thought of the Chan Sect, and thought of his arrogance and overbearing nature when he was the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals!

"So... this is what a qualified Senior Brother is?"

At this moment, Guangchengzi seemed to understand why his Revered Master, Yuanshi Tianzun, had punished him like that.

The moment he returned to the Thunder God Hall, the obsessions and prejudices in Guangchengzi's heart completely vanished.

He sat cross-legged, his entire aura undergoing a complete transformation.

"Obsessed for a million years, only now do I know who I am."

Guangchengzi opened his eyes abruptly, the Devilish Qi in the deepest part of his eyes slowly dissipating.

"Sever!"

The High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the male and female swords, was summoned by Guangchengzi and struck his own Daluo Dao Fruit, severing a wisp of black Qi from within.

It eventually transformed into a figure with a face identical to Guangchengzi, but with eyes full of arrogance and evil thoughts.

Guangchengzi had severed his Evil Corpse and attained the Quasi-Saint Realm!

At this moment, the terrifying pressure belonging to a Quasi-Saint powerhouse swept through the entire Thunder Department like a storm.

And at the same time he attained the Quasi-Saint Realm, the originally calm Luck of the Chan Sect suddenly surged violently!

The vast Luck suppressed under the pangu banner instantly surged by a fraction.

At the same time, Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun, sitting atop the heavenly celebration clouds, was suddenly awakened by this sudden surge of Luck.

He opened his Saint eyes abruptly, and blinding divine light burst forth from them: "The Chan Sect... has a new Quasi-Saint been born?!"

Accompanied by an irrepressible sound of surprise, Yuanshi Tianzun's mind was immediately thrown into violent turmoil.

Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Chan Sect's Luck had been the lowest among the four sects; now that someone under his sect had broken the shackles to attain the Quasi-Saint Realm, this was undoubtedly a great omen!

Without any hesitation, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze instantly turned toward the Twelve Golden Immortals scattered across the Primordial World.

Calamity Qi shrouded everything, shielding the Heavenly Secrets, so he could only look.

He first looked to the East, to the territory of the White Tiger Clan.

There, Que Liusun, Master Lingbao, Venerable Daoxing, Daoist Cihang, and Golden Immortal Samantabhadra were in seclusion, borrowing the Luck of the White Tiger Clan.

However, as his gaze swept over, the four remained the same; although their Dharma power had slightly improved, they had not touched the threshold of the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, then immediately turned his gaze to the South.

He looked at Master Taiyi, Yuding Zhenren, True Lord Qingxu Daode, and Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa, who, after years of traveling, had finally chosen to join the vassal tribes of the Phoenix Clan.

However, although the Luck above the heads of these four had increased slightly, it still did not reach the level of a Quasi-Saint.

Yuanshi Tianzun exhaled a breath of turbid air and cast his final hope to the North.

But he saw that within the Black Tortoise Clan in the North, Chijingzi and Master Huanglong, who were treated as honored guests, had slightly improved their cultivation, but likewise had not touched the barrier of the Quasi-Saint Realm.

"What is going on? If it is not them, who could it be?"

Yuanshi subconsciously excluded Guangchengzi, who was currently serving in the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department.

Although he still doted on and valued this eldest Disciple, he also knew in his heart about the Heart Demon Guangchengzi had developed due to "unfairness".

As long as the Heart Demon was not removed, he would never have a day to become a Quasi-Saint.

"Could it be a third-generation Disciple?"

However, just as Yuanshi Tianzun was puzzled and about to deduce the Heavenly Secrets amidst the dense Calamity Qi.

Rumble! A spatial rift was violently torn open above Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi sensed it and turned to look.

He saw a Quasi-Saint Early Stage Cultivator wearing an Eight-Trigram Purple Immortal Robe stepping out slowly from the spatial rift.

His profound, Quasi-Saint level Yuqing Dharma power surged without reservation across the entire sky above Kunlun Mountain!

"Disciple Guangchengzi, having attained the Quasi-Saint Realm, has returned."

"Greetings, Revered Master!"

The steady and resonant voice spread throughout Kunlun Mountain, causing Yuanshi Tianzun, who was sitting atop the celebration clouds, to be stunned for a moment.

Inside Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Guangchengzi, who had returned to his original seat, and still felt it was unreal.

How long has it been? Guangchengzi, who had almost had his Daluo Dao Fruit collapse and couldn't even maintain his Golden Immortal Realm, had actually returned as a Quasi-Saint.

Yuanshi sighed inwardly without speaking, and Guangchengzi just sat there with lowered eyes and a submissive expression, quietly waiting for his Revered Master's inquiry.

He sat upright, his aura steady, without a trace of his former arrogance and overbearing nature.

After a long time, as if a yuanhui had passed, Yuanshi Tianzun slowly withdrew his thoughts and looked at Guangchengzi, asking with a tone mixed with complexity and gratification: "Guangcheng...zi, you went to the Heavenly Court for such a short time, how exactly did you? See through your Heart Demon?"

The tone of his question was full of hesitation...

He knew this eldest Disciple too well; he was born with a proud spirit, and without great fortune or great tribulation, it would be impossible to erase the Heart Demon born from "unfairness" in such a short time.

Hearing this, Guangchengzi's expression became even more respectful. He slowly stood up, bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun on the celebration clouds, and replied: "In reply to Revered Master, Disciple previously received Revered Master's decree to train in the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department, slaying demons and devils, and performing my duties diligently."

"During this period, Disciple utilized the Heavenly Dao Karma distributed by the Heavenly Court according to the law, step by step erasing the resentment and Karma accumulated in the past. I originally thought this was the limit..."

Speaking of this, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Guangchengzi's eyes, and even a faint trace of self-mockery: "A few days ago, the Heavenly Court distributed military rewards for demon-slaying in the Lower Realm. In the barracks, Disciple personally saw a Golden Immortal Heavenly Soldier with no background and covered in wounds."

"The moment he received the Immortal Pill, he did not think about how to improve himself, but was muttering about his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters far away in the Lower Realm, rejoicing that their Cultivation resources were finally secured."

"That casual remark from the Golden Immortal Heavenly Soldier was, to Disciple, like a thunderbolt, and Disciple understood the meaning of the word Senior Brother..."

Guangchengzi bowed deeply again, his tone full of relief: "Because of this, Disciple finally realized in the Thunder God Hall that Revered Master's past actions were not unfair, but were caused by Disciple's own faults!"

"Because of this, Disciple broke the Heart Demon and attained the Quasi-Saint Realm!"

In Yuxu Palace, as Guangchengzi's voice fell, it once again fell into a deathly silence.
