If there was anything that set Meng Qi apart from the other three, it was this unity of the Three Pure Ones.
The Primordial Wilderness had the Three Pure Ones, and they were the most formidable of the Innate Divine Saints.
So after invoking Meng Qi, Fang Xun sensed a strange change. He seemed to have formed some deeper connection with this heaven and earth of the Primordial Wilderness.
Fang Xun shared this discovery in the group.
Meng Qi: "That's a good thing! It proves I was right."
Meng Qi: "You don't need to worry on your end either. With the Chat Group concealing you, the Three Pure Ones won't sense you."
Meng Qi: "On the contrary, this state will be immensely beneficial to your cultivation."
Who wouldn't want the exclusive benefits of the Three Pure Ones? Their claim of being Pangu's orthodox lineage was no empty boast.
They had been nurtured and transformed from Pangu's most vital primordial spirit, giving them the deepest connection to Pangu—and the Primordial Wilderness was practically equivalent to Pangu.
Fang Xun: "Understood!"
Fang Xun took a deep breath and sank ever deeper into his rapid cultivation progress, unable to pull himself free.
At Jade Void Palace, Meng Qi smiled as he looked at the information on the chat panel.
"Daddy!" A little girl of three or four, with two pigtails pointing skyward, walked in. Seemingly noticing something odd, she waved her slightly chubby little hand before Meng Qi's eyes.
"Daddy, what are you grinning foolishly about?" the little girl asked in confusion.
"What do you mean, grinning foolishly?" Meng Qi tried to keep a straight face, but he simply could not maintain it before his adorable daughter. He could only reach out and scoop her into his arms.
"Daddy was thinking about where to take you to play in the future."
"Go play?" The little girl's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay!"
"Would you rather visit the Heavenly Emperor's heavenly palace, or Sword Venerable's hometown? Yi Jing Lou would work too."
"I want them all, all of them!" Adults had to make choices. As the Primordial Emperor's daughter, she naturally wanted everything!
"The Heavenly Emperor's heavenly palace is one thing, but where is Sword Venerable's hometown? And I've never heard of Yi Jing Lou."
A woman in white entered. Ethereal and indescribably serene, she looked at the delighted Meng Qi with her beautiful eyes and asked softly.
"They're all very interesting places. I've also met a few new friends recently. They're all very interesting and... powerful."
Meng Qi's expression turned slightly solemn at the end.
"Powerful?" The woman sat beside Meng Qi, naturally leaning against him as she took Nu Wa into her arms.
"Yes, especially that Heavenly Emperor." Meng Qi nodded slightly.
"Not Han Guang?" The woman narrowed her eyes slightly.
There was currently a Heavenly Emperor, but since he claimed to be Han Guang, then he was Han Guang.
"A true Heavenly Emperor."
"A very powerful Heavenly Emperor..." The woman's eyes shifted as she pinched the little girl's chubby cheek. "Does he have a Dao Fruit?"
"..." Meng Qi rolled his eyes. Now he truly understood that no one knew a wife better than her husband.
His wife had once been a peerless demoness. She was clearly not someone who could sit still, but there were now only a handful of things in this world that could interest her. And now, she seemed to have spotted some delightfully entertaining possibilities again.
"Wait a while longer." Meng Qi blinked, keeping her in suspense.
"Husband—" Gu Xiaosang's voice was gentle, winding, and sorrowful, making Meng Qi shudder all over.
"Stop it. We still have to wait." Meng Qi did not fall for it. Gu Xiaosang gave a soft hum, then reached out and untied Nu Wa's pigtails before braiding them anew.
The family was quite harmonious.
"Xuansu, come out and greet some seniors."
Who knew how much time had passed before Fang Xun awoke from his cultivation and heard Empress Nuwa's voice by his ear.
"Seniors?" Fang Xun froze, then realized that it must be those Innate Divine Saints.
Nuwa becoming the First Great Luo of the Primordial Wilderness was a momentous event. It was enough to draw all the nearby Innate Divine Saints here to offer congratulations.
And when a group of proud and unruly Innate Divine Saints gathered together—especially ones who had never witnessed the divine abilities of a Great Luo Supreme...
It felt like something delightfully entertaining was about to happen.
Fang Xun walked out of the cave abode and looked up to see lofty Cloud Platforms. He rose into the air, and in but an instant, countless gazes fell upon him.
How oppressive were the gazes of several hundred Innate Divine Saints in the Taiyi Realm? An ordinary True Immortal would likely have every trace of their existence erased in an instant.
At that moment, Fang Xun keenly noticed certain changes in himself.
Someone seemed to be "watching" him!
Not watching him in reality, but deducing his origins through karma and Time-Space!
Sure enough, everyone in the Primordial Wilderness had this bad habit of pinching their fingers and calculating whenever they encountered something they could not understand!
Taiyi Golden Immortals such as these instinctively followed karma to gaze into the river of time, seeking to trace his origin.
They aren't targeting me. They're probably testing Teacher... This thought flashed through Fang Xun's mind, but he was not afraid in the slightest.
These Innate Divine Saints surely could not have imagined that the moment his Teacher attained Da Luo, she had protected his origin!
Fang Xun instinctively looked toward his Teacher, Nuwa, only to see that her expression was calm, without the slightest surprise.
Buzz...
In the next instant, a memory abruptly surfaced from the depths of Fang Xun's heart.
"This is my disciple, Xuansu."
Within that memory, Teacher had appeared before his tree body had even undergone Transformation. She blocked all gazes from the future and conversed with the many Innate Divine Saints across time.
Great Luo Supreme, Space-Time Singularity!
The expressions of many Innate Divine Saints changed drastically. Their auras abruptly fell into disorder, and several even groaned, golden blood appearing at the corners of their mouths.
Conversing with people in past time was no simple matter. Yet before Nuwa had even accepted Fang Xun as her disciple in the past, she had spoken the Dao title "Xuansu," stirring up the river of time.
The backlash of Time-Space naturally did not fall upon a Great Luo Supreme, but was instead borne by these Taiyi Divine Saints!
If any one of them had endured such a fierce backlash alone, they would likely have perished, body and soul erased!
Nuwa had protected her disciple in the most decisive manner, and in doing so established her authority!
"Dao Friend Nuwa possesses remarkable divine abilities."
The many Taiyi Divine Saints had no choice but to lower their heads.
"Greetings, fellow Innate Divine Saints."
Fang Xun arrived atop the Cloud Platform and saluted those around him. Afterward, he respectfully walked behind his Teacher and raised his head to examine this gathering of Innate Divine Saints.
At the same time, those Innate Divine Saints were all observing this little True Immortal.
Nuwa had called him out at such a time precisely so that every Innate Divine Saint would remember her disciple.
And after that glance just now, it was impossible not to leave a deep impression.
What tremendous fortune... Fang Xun came to understand this as well, his heart stirred.
Dao Debate was prevalent in the Primordial Wilderness. These Innate Divine Saints had come today for two reasons: one was to test her, and the other was to hear a Great Luo expound the Dao.
That was right. Now that Nuwa had attained Da Luo, a Dao Debate had become an exposition of the Dao. Every Innate Divine Saint present today owed her a karmic debt.
And that debt had now fallen upon Fang Xun.
"Dao Friend, your attainments have reached Da Luo. Are you already preparing to spread the Dao throughout the Primordial Wilderness?"
A mellow, placid voice rang out. Fang Xun instinctively looked over and saw an utterly ordinary old man—one could even call him gaunt-faced—looking at him and nodding gently.
The old man sat peacefully atop a radiant cloud. His figure was even somewhat hunched and frail, yet Fang Xun did not dare look at him for long.
Taiqing of the Three Pure Ones...
