"Wuwu, where is this? Why can't I move?" Ling Xuan woke up from the darkness, his body curled up, surrounded by liquid, as if he were soaking in water.

At this moment, a large amount of information flooded into Ling Xuan's mind. Ling Xuan felt his head was about to explode, so he quickly closed his eyes to digest the information.

After a long time, Ling Xuan opened his eyes again. "I never thought that transmigration would actually happen to me."

In his previous life, Ling Xuan was a young man on Earth. He loved peace and had a gentle personality. With the mindset of "I don't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, I will destroy them," he was quite well-known in the world's broker circles.

Who would have thought that one day, as Ling Xuan was walking down the street, he saw a child putting firecrackers into a sewer grate. Driven by curiosity, he walked over to take a look, and with a "bang," the manhole cover flew into the sky and ended up smashing onto Ling Xuan's head.

"Sigh, I wonder how much that kid will have to pay? Will I get any of it?" Ling Xuan sorted out his thoughts. He was an orphan in his past life, with no attachments. Since he was here, he might as well accept it. After calming his mind, Ling Xuan thought.

"According to the information in my mind, I have transmigrated to the Primordial World. I was originally a lotus seed from the Chaos Green Lotus and have not yet taken human form. If I cultivate the [Green Lotus Primordial Art] in my mind to the third level, I can take human form."

Ling Xuan was still very happy. A lotus seed from the Chaos Green Lotus, this foundation was considered top-notch in the entire Primordial World. It was said that Pangu was born from the Chaos Green Lotus. Thinking of it this way, he and Pangu were brothers.

Thinking of this, Ling Xuan quickly began to cultivate, wanting to take human form as soon as possible so he could go out and recognize his nephews.

As the saying goes, time flies when cultivating. In the blink of an eye, a year passed. At this moment, Ling Xuan sat cross-legged in the darkness, his cultivation already reaching the Golden Immortal stage.

"It's time!" Ling Xuan opened his eyes, feeling that the time had come. The dark aura around him surged into Ling Xuan's body. This was the Chaos Qi contained within the Green Lotus seed. Cracks flashed around him.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared, and Ling Xuan found himself standing in the Primordial World. Clouds and mist swirled around him, filled with auspicious pearls. A cloud of fortune and luck merged into Ling Xuan's body. The Heavenly Dao sensed this and even bestowed a wisp of merit.

Ling Xuan felt a sense of emotion and spoke.

"Today, I take human form. My past life is over. My name is Qing Xuan, and there is no longer Ling Xuan."

"Rumble, rumble!" The heavens and earth suddenly made sounds, as if something major was happening.

Qing Xuan felt that the constraints between heaven and earth had lessened considerably, and he understood that the Heavenly Dao had already acknowledged him. He then began to observe himself carefully.

He had long black hair that reached his waist, a tall and straight posture, a handsome face, eyebrows like distant mountains, a nose like a hanging gall, and deep, mysterious eyes. A faint golden Dao pattern adorned his forehead. He wore a Daoist robe, a jade belt around his waist, and was faintly surrounded by Chaos Qi, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Just as Qing Xuan was admiring himself, a treasure suddenly flew out from within him: a Fang Tian Hua Ji (Halberd). It was about nine feet long, entirely dark silver, with Dao patterns carved on its surface, and it emanated Chaos Qi.

The halberd blade was divided into two sides, one crescent-shaped and the other pointed, both extremely sharp. Qing Xuan grasped the halberd, and its name appeared in his mind.

Primordial Halberd, an Innate Supreme Treasure, indestructible, capable of releasing Chaos Qi to form a Chaos Domain, weakening the enemy's strength, and absorbing Chaos Qi for growth.

"Hahahaha, an Innate Supreme Treasure, just like the Pangu Banner and the Chaos Bell! I'll refine it first." Qing Xuan was overjoyed. After all, top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures were rare in the Primordial World, with only the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell being comparable.

Qing Xuan put the Primordial Halberd into his body and then looked around, immediately noticing something amiss.

Qing Xuan found himself in a misty immortal mountain. The spiritual energy around him was so dense it had almost condensed into substance. In the distance, immortal cranes flew, and spirit beasts frolicked, like a paradise on earth.

"Could my luck really be this good? I just got a spirit treasure and now a cave dwelling." Cultivation emphasizes wealth, companions, dharma, and land. This land refers to one's own cave dwelling. Although there is no shortage of places with abundant spiritual energy in the Primordial World now, such a top-tier immortal mountain is still quite rare.

Qing Xuan was very happy and flew towards a towering main peak in the center. As he approached, Qing Xuan saw that the summit was shrouded in clouds and mist, and a magnificent palace could be vaguely seen.

Qing Xuan stood at the entrance of the palace and saw a stone tablet engraved with the words "[Penglai Immortal Palace]" standing at the entrance.

"Penglai Immortal Palace... Penglai!" Qing Xuan was shocked. In many novels about the Primordial World from his previous life, the name Penglai held extraordinary significance.

"Could I be Pangu's biological brother? What would the Heavenly Dao call me then?" Qing Xuan calmed his mind and playfully mused in his heart.

Qing Xuan wandered around the Penglai Immortal Palace. The palace contained a cultivation room, an alchemy room, a library, and other functional facilities. By refining the stone tablet at the palace entrance, he could control the Penglai Immortal Palace and the entire Penglai Island.

Qing Xuan walked to the stone tablet, sat cross-legged, and reached out to touch it.

"We are fated. From now on, you will be my palace."

With that, he began to refine the stone tablet. Qing Xuan's mind merged with the stone tablet, and he saw a grand formation. By comprehending and refining this formation, he could refine the stone tablet, so he began to study it.

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Come!"

Qing Xuan shouted, and the grand formation within the stone tablet merged into Qing Xuan's body.

"Boom!"

The Penglai Immortal Mountain trembled, and countless wisps of ethereal energy ascended, forming a colossal spiritual dragon that coiled above Qing Xuan's head before finally merging into Qing Xuan's body. Qing Xuan's cultivation advanced another level, reaching the middle stage of Golden Immortal.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect such benefits! Wonderful, wonderful!" Qing Xuan was extremely happy. After taking human form, everything had gone smoothly. This was the will of heaven. He couldn't wait to go and recognize his three nephews.

"No rush, no rush. If I'm not mistaken, there are still two more immortal mountains waiting for me. It's not too late to refine them all." Thinking of this, Qing Xuan couldn't wait and flew over.

The Penglai Immortal Mountain was covered in spiritual herbs and flowers, but Qing Xuan did not linger. After refining Penglai Island, a certain place attracted Qing Xuan's attention.

As Qing Xuan flew, his gaze was drawn to a pond emitting a three-colored light, with a white lotus platform in the center.

Qing Xuan immediately knew that this object was an Innate Supreme Treasure – the World-Purifying White Lotus!

Legend has it that Pangu's Chaos Green Lotus produced six lotus seeds. During the great tribulation of heaven and earth, the Green Lotus shattered, and the six lotus seeds gave birth to several lotus platforms in the Primordial World.

These were the Creation Green Lotus, Merit Golden Lotus, World-Destroying Black Lotus, Karmic Fire Red Lotus, World-Purifying White Lotus, and Qing Xuan himself.

The Creation Green Lotus further transformed into a staff, a jade ruyi, and the Qingping Sword, which were obtained by the Three Pure Ones. As the saying goes, red flowers, white roots, and green lotus leaves; the Three Pure Ones were originally one family.

The remaining lotus platforms were all Innate Supreme Treasures, considered top-tier spirit treasures in the Primordial World.

Qing Xuan raised his hand and collected the World-Purifying White Lotus. It took him decades to refine the White Lotus, and unexpectedly, he felt a sense of shared origin and lineage.

"This... that's right. I was transformed from a Green Lotus seed, and the White Lotus is also a treasure formed from a lotus seed. Of course, they are of the same lineage."

Qing Xuan was ecstatic. He knew that the method of achieving sainthood by severing three corpses ultimately required the three corpses to merge. However, the key condition for merging was that the treasures used to sever the three corpses must be of the same origin and lineage, otherwise, it would surely fail. Hongjun did not inform the Three Pure Ones and others of this matter, precisely because he wanted the Three Pure Ones and others to eventually achieve sainthood using the Primordial Violet Qi.
