The main thing is that the three items within the New World are too important, causing a massive upheaval in the hearts of the ancestral masters of various factions upon hearing the news.

"It's said that if the Earth Immortal Relics are absorbed by an Earth Immortal in the Perfect Domain, or by a Sevenfold Sun Overlay expert, they might be able to break through to an even higher realm."

"Perhaps, it could even be the Heavenly Immortal Relics!"

If that's the case, the levels of the Purple Sword and the "Earth Immortal's Book" would also need to be raised. Who wouldn't be envious and tempted?

A few days later, a group of uninvited guests arrived.

They were the people who returned from Pu Gong, with members ranging from youths to elders.

In fact, Jian Huaidao, Xie Lin, Lu Wei, and others had arrived long ago and were also confined within the manor.

Now, their elders have come, having heard rumors of the "Earth Immortal Relics" from some unknown source.

"The news has leaked. I knew it. There are people from various factions among them; it couldn't be kept a secret." Grandmaster Gu Xicheng sighed.

Especially since a group of them, after entering the manor, headed straight for the Tathagata Sect's location.

A man sitting atop a Four Tusked White Elephant was conspicuously remarkable. The fact that his steed was at the seed level signified how extraordinary his identity must be.

Xiang Yiwu was displeased, saying, "It's like they were led by the scent; they clearly went all the way to Pu Gong and now come back to fight over everything. They're obviously fixated on the Earth Immortal Treasure!"

Qin Ming noticed that the gaze of the man on the Four Tusked White Elephant fell upon him.

In an instant, the man's eyes lit up like two golden lamps, too dazzling, like Chaos Runes circulating, seemingly able to penetrate everything.

His true age was unknown, but he didn't look very old, appearing to be in his early thirties, with short, naturally curly hair, and a rather stout build. His body seemed to contain Longxiang Power, highly active, with an effortlessly intimidating presence of blood energy.

"Who is he?" Qin Ming secretly asked.

"Little Tathagata," Xiang Yiwu transmitted, carrying some emotion in his tone, quite displeased with the man on the Four Tusked White Elephant.

That's because historically, the title Little Tathagata always carried special significance, likely wielding future control over the Tathagata Sect as a true heir.

However, this title was not bestowed upon the man by the present Buddha, but was appointed by the "Past Tathagata" returning from Pu Gong.

Qin Ming sensed that the situation among the various factions was somewhat delicate, even chaotic.

"What realm is he in?" Qin Ming asked.

"He's definitely not a Grandmaster, likely in the Fourth Realm," Xiang Yiwu informed, noting that this man's identity was extremely unusual, being a disciple's disciple of the Past Tathagata, whom he favored greatly.

Qin Ming asked because he noticed Little Tathagata was observing him.

Both practiced the Chaos Force, but they might not be on the same path, so he needed to understand beforehand.

The Four Tusked White Elephant approached, and the seated Little Tathagata smiled slightly, saying, "You are Qin Ming, right? If you have time, go meet the Sage."

Qin Ming addressed him as Brother, greeting him.

"You should respectfully call my master Tathagata."

Following the Four Tusked White Elephant were a pair of young men, who stepped forward at this time, speaking in turn.

"At the very least, you should address him as Senior."

Qin Ming shook his head, saying, "I'm not much younger than your master. Addressing him like that would imply he's old."

The young pair had clearly mastered the Chaos Force and were now very solemn. Even they were older than Qin Ming, so how could they tolerate him being treated as a peer to their master?

"Do not be disrespectful. You practice our branch's Chaos Force Technique; how can you not respect your master and honor the way?"

Qin Ming was displeased. He practiced the family-passed Silk Scripture, not very related to their branch at all.

Xiang Yiwu said, "Qin Ming has another inheritance."

Wu Yaizu also spoke, "My Brother Ming has never received any guidance from you!"

"Since you've mastered the Chaos Force, you should respectfully call my master Senior!"

"The proper lineage of this skill is now with our branch. Why are you being so disrespectful, Qin Ming?"

Clearly, this young pair was quite "stubborn."

Qin Ming felt a hint of anger. Did they pass down any skill to him? The so-called source of the Chaos Force had several ancestors, so why does their branch arrogantly claim the orthodoxy?

Besides, they had never guided him, and they immediately tried to impose authority upon meeting him.

Qin Ming spoke, "Why is my branch relegated to a side branch? Who designated the orthodoxy?"

He continued, "Moreover, Lu Zizai is my senior brother; you two aren't even qualified to be my peers."

The young pair's expressions changed.

Even the Little Tathagata, upon hearing the name Lu Zizai, had a flash of Divine Radiance in his lamp-like eyes.

"The two of you, do not be disrespectful." Little Tathagata spoke, indicating to his two disciples not to say more.

He then looked at Qin Ming, saying, "We indeed share the same origin. You should take the time to pay homage to the Sage, who also mentioned you."

"The one who returned from Pu Gong?" Qin Ming asked. He held no goodwill towards that person; the Past Tathagata he recognized was the old senior who dared to fight for Ye State and took two Demon Gods with him before his death.

As for this one, called the Past Tathagata, he couldn't win Qin Ming's approval.

"How dare you continually act disrespectfully?"

"Either respect the Sage or the Past Tathagata!"

The young pair both looked displeased, speaking in turn.

Qin Ming's face darkened. Having received no kindness from these people and sharing no intimate connections, they were bold enough to repeatedly expect his reverence?

If it were the master of the "Past Tathagata," one of the sources of the Chaos Force, and that old man's true form returned, Qin Ming would willingly bow. But these disciple and grand-disciple characters were overbearing, with an expansive pretense.

Qin Ming spoke in a deep voice, "What is your status to speak to me like this? Based on seniority from my brother Lu Zizai, you should both respectfully address me as Senior."

"Impertinent!"

"You want my master to call you Senior as well?"

The two stepped forward, their bodies surging with Chaos Force, their light dazzling, like two little suns blossoming with morning glow.

In this manor, many had already noticed the commotion, especially after the two radiated Heavenly Light, alerting some Immortal Seeds and Divine Seeds.

After all, when Hunyuan Force fluctuates, it is extremely intense!

"Junior, show respect when seeing me!" Qin Ming watched them, his body emitting ripples blocking the Chaos Force emanating from the two.

Moreover, his Heavenly Light was even more bright and terrifying, directly pressing down on the two, making their bones creak and on the verge of breaking. That vast pressure fell upon them like Feixian Mountain, making it unbearable, rendering their faces pale, forcing them to bow their heads and bend over, seemingly about to kneel.

In the manor, everyone witnessing this was astounded. Although they all practiced the Chaos Force, they appeared vastly different, like two entirely different skills. Which one was the true orthodoxy?

Having rested for a while, would anyone want to throw their guaranteed monthly tickets at me at the beginning of the month? Throw gently, thanks, thanks.
