Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Chapter 426 The Innate Vermilion Fruit! The Aura of a Sage!

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Sage smiled faintly, his gaze lingering on Chen Changsheng for a moment longer, thinking to himself:

"This child of the Jie Sect is a force to be reckoned with!"

"Even a saint like myself cannot see through it."

After a moment's thought, the Supreme Sage calmly withdrew his gaze.

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader turned his gaze and looked at the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

Upon receiving the gaze of the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Primordial Heavenly Lord naturally understood what he meant.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Tongtian!"

"My reward will naturally be substantial."

Having said that, Yuanshi Tianzun lightly raised his hand.

Then, a fist-sized spiritual fruit flew down in front of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The fruit was crystal clear and radiated a seven-colored glow.

After offering up the fruit, the Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke in a cold voice:

"This is the innate Vermilion Fruit, which takes ten thousand years to bloom, ten thousand years to bear fruit, and ten thousand years to mature."

"Taking it can enhance one's cultivation and cleanse the foundation of one's Dao."

Upon hearing the introduction by Yuanshi Tianzun, all the disciples below were shocked.

"The Innate Vermilion Fruit?"

"Can it increase cultivation level? And cleanse the foundation of one's cultivation?"

"This is a rare treasure!"

"I wonder, to whom will Master bestow this Innate Vermilion Fruit?"

"..."

The members of the Jie Sect were once again astonished.

On the other side, the disciples of the Chan Sect were all lifeless.

Although I was very envious, I also knew...

These rewards are for the winners.

Their Chan Sect, having been defeated by the Jie Sect, could only sigh in despair.

When the Tongtian Sect Leader saw that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had taken out the Innate Vermilion Fruit, he smiled calmly and then casually waved his hand.

Then, the innate vermilion fruit flew straight down in front of the fire spirit.

"Fire Spirit, you can have this Innate Vermilion Fruit!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling was stunned and looked somewhat at a loss.

Although she represented the Jie Sect in this battle at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, she did not achieve victory.

In the end, Yang Jian of the Chan Sect achieved victory in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

To Huo Ling's surprise, he actually received a reward, and it was even a Primordial Vermilion Fruit!

"this……"

Huo Ling stood there, looking bewildered and lost, her hesitant expression suggesting she felt unworthy of the honor.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that Huo Ling remained motionless for quite some time, Daoist Duobao coughed twice to remind him.

Upon hearing Duobao's cough, Huoling finally realized what was happening, quickly put away the Innate Vermilion Fruit, and bowed deeply to Tongtian and Yuanshi.

"Thank you, Grandmaster! Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle!"

Duobao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huo Ling accept the Innate Vermilion Fruit.

Thinking about his disciple, he realized that he was indeed very fortunate.

Although they did not win in a single battle, the Jie Sect won two and lost one of the three battles, thus securing first place in this Three Sects Grand Competition.

Huo Ling has also benefited from the success of Zhao Gongming and Chen Changsheng!

Moreover, with this innate Vermilion Fruit, if the Fire Spirit refines and absorbs it, it might have a chance to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, the other third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect were all filled with envy when they saw that Huo Ling had obtained the Innate Vermilion Fruit.

Thinking about it, Huo Ling was really lucky. Although he couldn't defeat the Taiyi Golden Immortal disciple of the Chan Sect, he still received such a reward in the end.

Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader slowly stood up, glanced around at the group of Jie Sect disciples, and said:

"Our Jie Sect has won the championship in this competition among the three sects."

"As the leader of the sect, I will naturally not be stingy."

At this point, the Tongtian Sect Leader paused, then fixed his gaze on Zhao Gongming.

Chen Changsheng and Huo Ling both received their due rewards, but Zhao Gongming was the only one who didn't.

When Zhao Gongming saw the Tongtian Sect Leader staring at him, his heart stirred and he could hardly contain his excitement.

Then, without further ado, the Tongtian Sect Leader flicked his finger at Zhao Gongming.

"call out!"

The next moment, a mysterious aura shot out and entered Zhao Gongming's body.

Under the blessing of that aura, Zhao Gongming's body was filled with endless Daoist charm, and his holy appearance was solemn!

The disciples present were all shocked by this.

In particular, Daoist Duobao, Immortal Antarctica, and others immediately recognized that what Tongtian Jiaozhu had injected into Zhao Gongming's body was none other than a sage's aura.

"It's actually... the aura of a sage?"

"My God!"

"Isn't the Tongtian Cult Leader being a bit too generous?"

"They actually rewarded Zhao Gongming with a sage-like aura?"

"In that case, Zhao Gongming's cultivation process at the Quasi-Saint level can be shortened considerably."

"..."

The disciples of the Chan Sect were all shocked upon seeing this.

No one expected that the Tongtian Sect Leader would even offer his own saintly aura as a reward.

You must know that this aura of a sage is the unique, primordial aura of a sage!

Integrating into the body can not only enhance cultivation, but also cleanse the foundation of one's Dao and improve one's understanding of the Great Dao!

This is priceless!

But upon further reflection, everyone in the Chan Sect understood.

That is to say, the Jie Sect won first place in this competition of the three sects, which is why the Tongtian Sect Leader was so willing to give it up.

If it were their Chan Sect that won the championship, the Tongtian Sect Leader would certainly not offer the Saintly Qi as a reward.

At the same time, the many disciples of the Jie Sect were also shocked by what they saw.

Especially the many second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect, their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Zhao Gongming.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming felt a warm and vast power surge into his body, making him feel as if he were floating on air, and his cultivation level soared.

"Thank you, Master!"

Shocked, he quickly bowed to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader smiled calmly and waved his hand.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze shifted and landed on Yuanshi Tianzun, and he said with a look of ease:

"Senior Brother Yuanshi, today's competition was very enjoyable."

"I, a disciple of the Jie Sect, will take my leave now."

"I'll come and bother you again another day when I have the chance!"

As he spoke, the Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at the Supreme Sage again and continued:

"Senior Brother, farewell!"

Tongtian didn't linger any longer. He led the immortals of the Jie Sect, transforming into a sky full of celestial light, and soared away!

After the Jie Sect members left, the Supreme Sage also bid farewell to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and, together with Xuandu and other disciples, rode away on a cloud.

After the Jie Sect and Chan Sect members left, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression turned extremely ugly.

In this competition among the three religions, the Chan religion suffered a complete and utter defeat.

In his anger, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze suddenly darkened as he looked at the assembled disciples of the Chan Sect.

Upon receiving the furious gaze of Yuanshi Tianzun, all the members of the Chan Sect lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes any longer.

"snort!"

After a slight pause, Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, then vanished into the void in a flash.
