Warning, Warning!
The Heaven-Opening Merit are very important to the Three Pure Ones, because they were taken as disciples by Hongjun Three Pure Ones guided on the path of severing the Three Corpses Proving the Dao.
However, Hongjun held back several skills from his disciples, deeply understanding the principle that "teaching a disciple can lead to the master's downfall." This resulted in the Three Pure Ones ultimately achieving Merit Attainment of Sainthood, with the Heaven-Opening Merit being the key.
Nuwa created the Human Race and gained immeasurable Merit before Merit Attainment of Sainthood, while the Three Pure Ones established religions and gained Merit through teaching.
The Merit of teaching leads to the Heaven-Opening Merit, thus achieving sainthood on the spot.
This is equivalent to asking a billionaire how they amassed billions in assets, and the person seriously tells you that they started a company and earned their first pot of gold.
Not much, just around one million.
You might think that the other person built a vast business empire by earning their first pot of gold and then conquering all before them, after decades of hard work.
The other person tells you that he proved himself, then inherited his father's vast fortune, becoming a billionaire overnight.
Yes, this is a very inspiring story. It's not easy to find a father as generous as him, especially since he saved three portions at once.
Thinking about it this way, Xiang Dong felt he was getting the short end of the stick. After all, he had been treated like the youngest son. The youngest should have been the most loved and received the most, but his clone, Taichu, didn't inherit much. Apart from the Light and Creation Principle, the other Principle were all given to him by his good older brother and sister.

"No, I also have the Heaven-Opening Merit!"
Xiang Dong suddenly remembered something: he also had the Heaven-Opening Merit of Heaven-Opening Merit, and it was in his phone.
When the Pangu phantom was forged from the light screen created by Xiang Dong, the Twelve-Rank World-Cleansing White Lotus, and the merits of the Heavenly Dao Merit, it also extracted a wisp of the Heaven-Opening Merits of the Three Pure Ones, as well as the identity of Yuqing as the Heavenly Dao Agent.
These three strands of Heaven-Opening Merit act as a protective wall for the phone, serving as the ultimate insurance. This allows Xiang Dong to connect to the Heavenly Dao's network without being monitored by the Heavenly Dao or having the phone controlled through backdoors.
Now, it can also be used to protect the Creation Green Lotus.
The Creation Green Lotus clearly didn't believe it. How could you possibly have something like that? Did you think it was like a roadside cabbage, something you could just pick up casually...?
Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
No way, buddy, you really have that? Was your Heaven-Opening Merit done through righteous means?
Xiang Dong spoke directly with facts. He made the phone completely transparent, displaying all its components to the Creation Green Lotus.
The three strands of Heaven-Opening Merit transformed into three circles, intersecting and overlapping to form a triune, eternal, and indestructible shield.
This scene shocked the Creation Green Lotus for a hundred years. This guy before him actually possessed the Heaven-Opening Merit, so what he said before was also true. This guy was also a true descendant of Pangu, but why didn't he have the aura of Pangu on him?
Xiang Dong also found it difficult to explain this problem.
"This is a long story, and it would be difficult to explain in a short time, since my situation is quite special. In short, you just need to know that I do indeed possess the Heaven-Opening Merit, so I can provide you with protection."
"So, will you choose to come with me, or will you steadfastly choose the Three Pure Ones...?"
Before Xiang Dong could finish speaking, the Creation Green Lotus had already removed its spiritual light shield. If it weren't for its last bit of modesty, it would have jumped into Xiang Dong's arms long ago.
Xiang Dong chuckled, gave a thumbs-up, and praised, "A wise person knows when to yield; you're quite savvy."
That's not true; it's simply naive, not that it can't distinguish between good and bad.
As the Creation Green Lotus chose Xiang Dong, it naturally ceased to summon the Three Pure Ones. Consequently, the Three Pure Ones felt that their fortuitous opportunity was slipping away until it completely disappeared. It was for this reason that the Three Pure Ones diverted their attention to check on the Creation Green Lotus, only to witness a scene that made their eyes widen in horror.
"Eldest brother, second brother, our fortuitous opportunity has been stolen."
When Yuqing saw Xiang Dong, she couldn't help but feel annoyed and disgusted.
Although they had never met before, Yuqing always felt that he disliked Xiang Dong. His Primordial Spirit told him that the other party seemed to have taken something very important to him, and now he was trying to steal the fortuitous opportunity from the three brothers.
This infuriated Yuqing so much that she almost ground her back teeth to powder, coldly spitting out two words.
"How dare you!"
Taiqing summoned the Taiji Diagram to block the relentless attacks of the two Western Saints, and snorted coldly.
"Second brother, third brother, show no mercy! If we let this fortuitous opportunity slip away today, what will become of the prestige of our Pangu?"
They were fighting to the death here, and a Taiyi Golden Immortal dared to sneak into their home right under their noses. He truly didn't take the Three Pure Ones seriously.
The Three Pure Ones are the transformations of Pangu's Pangu Primordial Spirit, truly the authentic descendants of Pangu. Their journey through the Primordial World is also intended to make a name for themselves.
And then this happened, and their fortuitous opportunity as Three Pure Ones was snatched away. Isn't this a case of dying before even getting started? It's so shameful!
In their fury, the Three Pure Ones overlooked a detail: how a Taiyi Golden Immortal could be secretly causing trouble right under their noses, without their Divine Sense and Primordial Spirit reacting until they saw it with their own eyes.
The Three Pure Ones held back, engaging in a full-scale battle, with their two Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures, one for offense and one for defense, being used together.
One item possesses unparalleled defensive capabilities, with the power to neutralize and suppress attacks; the other is unmatched in single-target combat, capable of unleashing Chaos, heaven-opening Sword Qi. Any spiritual treasure without unparalleled defensive characteristics simply cannot withstand it; it can be said to shatter with a mere wave of the banner.
Furthermore, the three brothers' seamless teamwork allowed them to temporarily suppress the combined forces of the two Western Saints and the three riders.
Even with the combined efforts of five Great Unity Golden Immortals, they ultimately could not withstand the overwhelming onslaught of the two Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures.
When players are roughly equal in strength and cultivation level, the difference in their spiritual treasures becomes the standard for determining victory or defeat, increasing combat power, and widening the gap between them.
Under their clash, terrifying shockwaves surged back into the valley, causing the innate array patterns that had protected the Creation Green Lotus for countless eons to crumble inch by inch from the inside out, turning into countless fragments.
This powerful innate protective array is difficult to break through from the outside, requiring a great deal of time and effort, but destroying it from the inside is not particularly difficult.
The strongest fortresses often crumble from within.
With the great formation shattered, the last line of defense that concealed the secrets of heaven also failed, and the aura of the Creation Green Lotus was completely exposed. Almost instantly, it was locked by the Heavenly Dao.
In the blink of an eye, the white clouds stretching for thousands of miles in the sky were filled with churning, dark purple clouds within three breaths.
That was no ordinary thundercloud, but a thunderous punishment imbued with the will of Heavenly Dao, symbolizing destruction and retribution—the infamous Purple Firmament Divine Thunder.
Boom!
A muffled thud seemed to explode in their hearts, sending a shiver down the spines of all living beings.
This is a warning: anyone who is not authorized, get out, or you will face the consequences!
