Three Pure Ones Manifest

Inside the Pangu Temple, the Twelve Ancestral Witches diligently cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Li Xinghe applied Time Acceleration to them, allowing decades to pass for every year in the Outside World.

As for their cultivation progress, Li Xinghe could only admit he was no match for them.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches inherited all the advantages of Pangu's physical body, making them naturally suited to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. Their speed was many times faster than Li Xinghe's.

With the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, completing the first three revolutions granted a physical body comparable to early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

The fourth revolution granted physical strength comparable to late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, the fifth to early Golden Immortal of the Origin, and the sixth to late Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Once the seventh revolution was achieved, one could attain Body Becoming a Saint. Even without the support of Heavenly Dao power, they could suppress all beings beneath the Saint level.

The eighth revolution made one a powerhouse among Saints, and completing the ninth revolution meant becoming another Pangu—the foremost being under the Great Dao.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had transformed at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, so they quickly completed the first three revolutions.

Now, with Li Xinghe's support, they were nearly done with the fourth revolution. It truly was frustrating to compare.

Back when Li Xinghe had Pangu's Essence Blood to aid him, his cultivation speed still hadn't matched theirs.

It wasn't that he was too dull—he simply had no talent in the Great Dao of Strength.

At the end of the day, he was just an ordinary person. Only by receiving the gifts of Daoist Shichen and the Lord of Destiny had he managed to deceive Heaven and become the 3001st Demon God.

Strictly speaking, he was a fusion of the Time Demon God and the Destiny Demon God. Each had their expertise, and his specialty lay in the Laws of Time and Destiny.

Just as Li Xinghe was about to leave the Pangu Temple again, the Ancestral Witches Houtu and Xuan Ming suddenly awakened from their cultivation.

"Adoptive Father, can you take us out to see the world? We don't know what the Outside World is like yet!"

After all, they were girls—more curious by nature, and being cooped up in the Pangu Temple for years of seclusion had indeed made them restless.

"Fine, but once we leave the Pangu Temple, you two have to behave." Li Xinghe said with a smile.

The two Ancestral Witches were still young, their personalities lively. Having two such beautiful women by his side was certainly a pleasant sight.

Their current strength was roughly equivalent to mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and with their Ancestral Witch bodies, they could match late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal experts. There was no worry about them holding him back.

Meanwhile, at Buzhou Mountain, two clusters of spiritual energy transformed into forms—they were none other than Fuxi and Nuwa.

Legend had it that Nuwa was the transformation of a strand of Creation Qi between Heaven and Earth, bearing great merit. In the future, she would create the Human Race, precisely because of her power of creation.

If Li Xinghe saw this, he would surely sigh. The so-called Creation Qi of Nuwa was likely connected to one of the top-level Demon Gods of the Primordial World—the Creation Demon God.

But during the Creation Tribulation, the Creation Demon God was unlucky, utterly slain by Pangu without even leaving a True Spirit behind. The Demon God's flesh and blood fell into the Primordial World, instead giving rise to the great deity Nuwa.

As for her elder brother Fuxi, he too bore great fortune. However, he later intervened in the conflict between the Wu and Yao, met an accidental death, reincarnated as a human, and became one of the Three Human Emperors.

The siblings both had human heads and serpent bodies, coiled at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, deducing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as they cultivated single-mindedly, ignoring the conflicts of the Primordial World.

At the same time, on Kunlun Mountain, Auspicious Clouds gathered, Merit power shrouded the area, and three clusters of pure Qi transformed into forms.

"I am Grand Pure One Laozi, transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit."

"I am Yuqing Yuanshi, transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit."

"I am Shangqing Tongtian, transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit."

Pangu's Primordial Spirit split into three, becoming the Three Pure Ones. Today, they finally transformed on Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones received Creation Merit, and their foundations were nearly unmatched in the Primordial World.

"Our destiny is ordained by Heaven. This Primordial Land shall have a place for us three brothers." Grand Pure One Laozi was the first to emerge. As the eldest of the three, his aura was clearly stronger than the others.

"Now that the Fierce Beast Tribulation has just passed, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races reign supreme. We should cultivate hard here on Kunlun Mountain and only explore the Primordial World once our strength is greater."

Though they had only just transformed, they had long possessed awareness. The Fierce Beast Tribulation had not escaped their notice.

Just then, all three felt a sudden resonance. "Big Brother, I seem to sense our opportunity," Yuanshi suddenly said.

"I sense it too," Tongtian added, feeling the same pull.

The three quickly flew in one direction, finally discovering a green lotus blooming in a valley.

"Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus!" The thought arose in all three minds simultaneously.

As transformations of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, they naturally knew the power of this treasure.

It was also a derivative of the great victim, the Chaos Green Lotus, and its grade was even higher than the Four Divine Lotuses.

The three watched as the lotus blossomed. Just then, several figures appeared before the lotus—it was Li Xinghe.

The Chaos Shovel contained the Laws of Time and Destiny, allowing it to deduce the future and alter fate. Naturally, it had calculated the emergence of the Three Pure Ones and knew of the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus's appearance.

"Who are you?" The Three Pure Ones' expressions changed. They had been about to claim the treasure, only for someone to cut in line.

Li Xinghe hadn't come to seize the treasure. A few mere top-grade spiritual treasures were beneath his notice.

However, he had deduced the Three Pure Ones' emergence and came today to forge a good connection. After all, they were transformations of Pangu's Primordial Spirit. If he wanted to resurrect Pangu in the future, he would likely need their power.

"Can you not sense I's aura?" Li Xinghe gazed at the Three Pure Ones before him.

"Playing tricks. Do not obstruct my opportunity," Yuanshi said coldly.

But The Grand Pure One and Shangqing looked puzzled. This person before them seemed somewhat familiar, yet they had only transformed today—there was no way they knew him.

"How dare you! Who said this treasure belongs to you? First come, first served." Xuan Ming and Houtu refused to back down.

Both of them were roaming the Primordial Wilderness for the first time, naturally curious about everything.

Besides, the three fellows before them were merely at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm—what standing did they have to speak to their Adoptive Father like that?

"Daoist friend, this treasure is fated to belong to us." Laozi was displeased as well. They were the Pangu Orthodox, bearing great merit, and not ones to shy away from trouble.

"Daoist friend? By seniority, you ought to call me Uncle." Li Xinghe frowned.

He had originally intended to offer them some guidance, given that they were born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, but he hadn't expected them to be so ungrateful.

"How dare you! We three brothers are incarnations of Pangu's Primordial Spirit—who are you to claim equality with Pangu?" Yuanshi immediately flared up in anger.

Xuan Ming and Houtu now understood. No wonder these three were so arrogant—they, too, originated from the great god Pangu.

Still, their own roots were not inferior; they had no reason to fear them.

Li Xinghe, however, had a moment of realization. Though the Three Pure Ones were born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, they possessed none of Pangu's memories.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were the same, but he had helped them expand their origins and gifted them twelve drops of Pangu's Essence Blood, which was why they acknowledged his status.

Moreover, he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and had absorbed much of Pangu's Essence Blood. Because of this partial blood relation, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were closer to him.

The Three Pure Ones, however, could not recognize his identity and instead took him for a bandit blocking their path to seize the treasure.

Even so, Yuanshi's attitude greatly displeased him. No wonder in later ages he would always disdain Tongtian's disciples as creatures born of moisture, hatched from eggs, covered in fur, and bearing horns.

In the end, Yuanshi believed himself superior to all others, dismissing everyone else as trash.

"Adoptive Father, these ingrates don't know what's good for them. Why not just take the treasure?" Xuan Ming struck immediately, reaching directly for the lotus.

Yet a flash of light burst forth, and Xuan Ming was repelled. She was at the mid-stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal—even the current Three Pure Ones were beneath her.

Houtu also gave it a try, using the Law of Earth to grasp it from beneath the ground, but the result was the same. The Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus seemed to be enveloped by energy from all directions—above, below, left, and right.
