Li Xinghe was also greatly surprised. It seemed this treasure was destined to belong to the Three Pure Ones.
It was the will of fate. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were also Pangu Orthodox, could not obtain it.
However, the barrier was not truly unbreakable. If Li Xinghe made a move and suppressed it with a Chaos Supreme Treasure, no one could withstand it unless the Chaos Green Lotus reassembled.
"This treasure has no affinity with you." Taiqing Laozi stepped forward and thrust one hand directly into the barrier.
At once, the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus changed. Its flower became a Taiyi Fly Whisk and fell into Laozi's hand.
Its lotus root became the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and landed in Yuanshi Tianzun's hand.
Finally, its lotus leaves became the Qingping Sword and flew into Tongtian's hand.
The three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures automatically chose their masters, leaving Xuan Ming and Houtu utterly astonished.
"See that? You simply aren't qualified." Yuanshi smiled as he began comprehending the marvels of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
Xuan Ming and Houtu were immediately enraged. So what if they had been transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit? They were merely early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals, yet they dared mock them.
"Godfather, I'll teach them a lesson." Xuan Ming cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, and her realm surpassed that of the Three Pure Ones. Since they were all Pangu Orthodox, this was a perfect chance to determine who was stronger.
Before Li Xinghe could say anything, Xuan Ming and Houtu had already charged forward.
Li Xinghe could not help shaking his head. Those two girls were far too impulsive. Although the three opponents' realms were lower, they had obtained Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, which made up for the difference.
Though both sides were Pangu's descendants, the Three Pure Ones' foundations were nearly unmatched throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had merely been formed from twelve drops of essence blood. Even with Li Xinghe's gift, they had only twenty-four drops.
The Three Pure Ones, however, had been formed when Pangu's Primordial Spirit divided into three. Perhaps only by combining the foundations of several great figures across the Primordial Wilderness could one compare to them.
That was why even Hongjun had accepted them as disciples. The three were Saints by nature, and in a sense, by accepting them as disciples, Hongjun had also taken a share of their blessings.
Sure enough, the moment the two sides clashed, the two Ancestral Witches fell into a disadvantage.
The Three Pure Ones were one entity, their minds connected. Now that they had obtained Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures suited to themselves, they could challenge opponents above their grade.
"This is outrageous! If we had suitable weapons, how could we have fallen into such a disadvantage?" Xuan Ming and Houtu were thoroughly unconvinced.
Li Xinghe smiled faintly. It was good to let them learn a lesson, lest they suffer a major loss during the Witch-Demon Calamity in the future.
In the original story of the Primordial Wilderness, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were extremely arrogant and always considered themselves Pangu Orthodox. Even after the Three Pure Ones became Saints, they still believed themselves to be equals.
They were exceedingly confident in their physical bodies and disdained using weapons, because once their bodies were cultivated to the limit, they would be no weaker than Innate Spirit Treasures.
Just as the two Ancestral Witches were about to be unable to hold on, Li Xinghe struck downward with one palm, directly knocking away the Three Pure Ones' spiritual treasures.
The three were greatly shocked. This man had used physical strength to directly contend against Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures—he was even stronger than they had imagined.
Taiqing and Yuqing looked guarded, while Shangqing stared at Li Xinghe with a face full of shock.
Li Xinghe's casual strike had just caused him to enter a state of enlightenment.
"You were formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Today, I will not stoop to your level. Know that there are always greater people and higher heavens. Cultivate well." With a wave of his hand, Li Xinghe vanished along with Xuan Ming and Houtu.
Yuanshi snorted coldly. "Putting on airs. He merely took human form a little earlier than us. Once we three brothers raise our realms, the entire Primordial Wilderness will surely revere us above all."
Taiqing Laozi was somewhat doubtful but said nothing. Instead, he looked at Tongtian. "Third Brother, what is wrong?"
Tongtian finally came to his senses. "Nothing. That man was right. We have only just taken form and must maintain a reverent heart. Setting everything else aside, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races are not opponents we can handle."
"Third Brother is right. We should first improve our cultivation." Laozi and Yuanshi turned and departed.
Tongtian, meanwhile, bowed toward the direction in which Li Xinghe had left.
It turned out Li Xinghe's attack had carried another purpose. He had incorporated the intent of Pangu's Three Primal Creation Styles into that palm strike.
Of the three brothers, only Tongtian had grasped its mysteries. The Qingping Sword governed slaughter, matching the intent of Pangu's Three Primal Creation Styles.
"It seems Tongtian isn't a fool after all." Hidden in the shadows, Li Xinghe smiled faintly.
After meeting the Three Pure Ones today, he had gained a clearer understanding. The Investiture of the Gods Calamity was inevitable in the future. If he laid his plans in advance, even the Heavenly Dao would be unable to interfere when the time came.
More accurately, the Heavenly Dao at that time would already be Hongjun. Everything would be part of Hongjun's scheme.
Unfortunately, even Hongjun himself did not yet know what the future held. How could he possibly compare to Li Xinghe's calculations?
Who told me to be a transmigrator? So what if I have no system? I still have the advantage of foreseeing the future.
Having suffered this setback, Xuan Ming and Houtu behaved themselves along the way, constantly pestering Li Xinghe to find spiritual treasures for them.
However, Innate Spirit Treasures were not so easy to come by. More than half the treasures in the Primordial Wilderness already had owners.
The rest either had not yet reached the time to emerge or were unsuitable for them.
At this very moment, on the Sun Star, two Golden Crows soared into the sky from beneath the Fusang Divine Wood, an Innate Spiritual Root.
True Sun Fire dyed half the skies of the Primordial Wilderness red. They were Di Jun and Tai Yi, accompanied by the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure River Diagram and Luo Book, as well as the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell.
At the place where Yin and Yang converged, countless tainted blood remnants from fallen Demon Gods of the Creation Tribulation and the Fierce Beast Calamity gathered and gave birth to the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Within it, an evil being was born: Old Ancestor Minghe.
In the Northern Sea was a massive creature, resembling both fish and bird, devouring and exhaling the myriad races. It was the legendary Fierce Beast Kunpeng.
In an unknown region of Kunlun Mountain, beneath the Innate Spiritual Root Peach Tree, the first wisp of yin qi between heaven and earth took form. She was the Innate Divine Queen Mother of the West, renowned in later ages.
On an Overseas Immortal Island, the first wisp of yang qi between heaven and earth took form. He was East Prince, later known as the foremost male immortal of the Primordial Wilderness.
On the lands of the Primordial Wilderness, beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, Zhenyuanzi, ancestor of Earth Immortals, held the Earth Book with an imposing, wrathless majesty.
The first red cloud formed after heaven and earth opened successfully took human form. This person had the bearing of a Saint, yet was later framed and killed, perishing midway.
In the Western World, Zhunti took form from the first wisp of Metal Qi between heaven and earth. At the same time, Jieyin Daoren took form from a Golden Lotus that had existed after creation.
Now that Demon Ancestor Luohu occupied the Western World, the two could only keep their heads down and dared not show themselves.
Nearly all the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness who could be ranked had emerged during this period.
However, the lands of the Primordial Wilderness were still ruled by the Three Primal Races. These newly transformed Innate Beings all chose to cultivate behind closed doors.
Only when treasures occasionally emerged in the Primordial Wilderness would they venture out.
Many among them possessed immense Fortune. Like the Three Pure Ones, no one could steal the opportunities that belonged to them.
Li Xinghe traveled across the Primordial Wilderness with the two Ancestral Witches, and almost no one dared provoke them.
"Godfather, I heard the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races have quite a few good treasures. Why don't we go ask them for some?" After traveling about, Li Xinghe had obtained quite a few treasures, but with twelve Ancestral Witches, it was not easy to gather enough.
Li Xinghe secretly broke into a cold sweat. These were not goddaughters—they were practically two little tyrants.
The Witch-Demon Calamity would be a war between the Witch Race and the Demon Court established by Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor, not a chance for them to contend against the current Three Primal Races.
Even though he was not afraid, the Three Races were currently at the height of their Fortune. Even reincarnations of Chaos Demon Gods dared not provoke them.
"I seem to have divined the whereabouts of the Five Elements Demon God. Now your treasures have a lead." Li Xinghe felt a stir in his heart.
