Helping the Three Pure Ones Assume Human Form

In the Primordial World, no mountain was taller than Buzhou, and none was grander than Kunlun.

Majestic Kunlun was hailed as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, the source of the earth veins.

Looking down from high above, mountains stretched from far to near in layer upon layer, with countless peaks soaring tens of thousands of fathoms into the sky.

The peaks rose and fell, winding on without end, each mountain higher than the last.

Verdant mountains seemed carved from jade, while emerald ridges piled like clouds.

Clouds drifted endlessly and mists spread wide, leaving the myriad mountains appearing and vanishing from view.

Lu Ya stood upon an auspicious cloud and had arrived at East Kunlun.

The Kunlun Mountain Range was simply too vast. Part of it lay in the Eastern Wilderness, while another part extended into the Western Wilderness.

Dense Innate Spiritual Qi had formed mist that curled through the mountains.

A casual glance revealed quite a few rare birds and exotic beasts moving through the forests.

Having arrived at East Kunlun, Lu Ya began searching for the Three Pure Ones.

For a time, he seemed to shift the Northern Dipper past the Southern Dipper, hold the sun and moon wheels aloft in both hands, fly up Kunlun Mountain, and turn into a cloud filling the sky in the blink of an eye.

A wisp of Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi rested in Lu Ya's hand.

He knew that Taiqing, the Leader of the Three Pure Ones, possessed a Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.

That pagoda was the First Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure. Not only had it been condensed from a great quantity of Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi, it also contained a portion of Pangu's Merit of Pangu's Creation.

Yet the Three Pure Ones were certainly protected by a powerful Innate Formation.

With a Primordial Great Array blocking the way, finding the Three Pure Ones became far more difficult.

After the Heavenly Dao came online, finding the Three Pure Ones became even harder.

Time flowed by, and before he knew it, Lu Ya had already spent several years in East Kunlun.

He had gathered some treasures, yet still failed to find the Three Pure Ones.

It seemed Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi wasn't all that useful either!

Lu Ya did not force the matter and simply let everything take its natural course.

One day, Lu Ya sat cross-legged beneath a towering tree, breathing in Spiritual Qi and absorbing the Essence of Sun and Moon.

An unfathomably profound aura appeared around him.

His cultivation was the seizure of Heaven and Earth's Good Fortune.

To follow was to remain mortal; to defy was to become immortal.

Whether immortals and saints or gods and demons, all cultivation was the seizure of Heaven and Earth's Good Fortune.

When Heaven and Earth's Good Fortune diminished, great calamities would arise.

Suddenly, Lu Ya's mind and spirit stirred.

The wisp of Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi in his Mud Pill Palace seemed to have sensed something.

This is...

It sensed the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda?

Realization dawned on Lu Ya. Excitement filled his heart, and he no longer cared about cultivating. He abruptly rose to his feet.

He followed the Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi's sense of direction.

Using the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Art, he crossed thousands of mountains in an instant.

When Lu Ya used sunlight to teleport again, he had already surpassed the very concept of "speed."

It was a perfect fusion of "speed" and "space."

Sunlight was the power of the Sun Star and could also be called the Sun Star's "domain."

A clone naturally received reinforcement within the domain of its true body.

The higher the level, the greater the reinforcement gained.

After a long while, Lu Ya withdrew his Evasion Light beneath a steep and perilous mountain.

This mountain pierced the clouds, seeming capable of reaching the heavens.

At its foot stood a cliff shaped like a Kirin.

Under the gaze of Lu Ya's pair of Sun God Eyes, he could see that the visible mountain was only a small part of it. Most of it was concealed beneath an Innate Formation.

"This is definitely the main peak of East Kunlun. It is no less impressive than the main peak of West Kunlun."

Though it was the main peak of East Kunlun, it was hidden by a tremendous power.

It was also shielded by Heavenly Dao Qi.

Thus, finding this place amid the boundless Kunlun Mountain Range was no easy task.

Had he not followed the Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi's guidance, Lu Ya would have found it difficult to arrive here.

Looking at the vast Primordial Great Array before him, Lu Ya smiled.

The main peak of Kunlun, protected by a powerful Innate Formation.

It was almost certain that the Three Pure Ones were within this mountain.

Seeking the Three Pure Ones was merely a chance to form Good Karma; he bore no ill intent.

The Three Pure Ones had been transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Harboring ill intent toward them in the Primordial World was simply asking for trouble.

With one step, Lu Ya arrived atop Kirin Cliff and headed toward the Primordial Great Array.

Before long, he entered the array.

The array contained a world of its own, bizarre and ever-changing, evolving boundless dangers.

Terrifying killing intent flickered in every direction.

This array followed the Three Talents, revealing the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth and containing the workings of the cosmos.

Abruptly, the space-time around Lu Ya became chaotic, and Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind surged forth from the void.

The violent Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind seemed capable of destroying everything.

Even faced with such a situation, Lu Ya did not dare to be careless.

A patch of celebratory cloud emerged from Lu Ya's Mud Pill Palace. Three flowers supported it—one black, one white, and one green—while golden-red auspicious qi descended like tassels of pearls, endlessly flowing.

Innate Spiritual Treasures also rested atop the three flowers above his head.

Protected by his divine abilities and treasures, the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind could do nothing to Lu Ya.

However, his mana was being consumed at an astonishing rate.

Moreover, it was difficult to replenish mana within this array.

Yet whenever the array operated, it drew upon the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

As it drew upon the Sun Star's power, Lu Yang did not even need to infiltrate it.

Within a short time, the principles behind the array had become completely clear to him.

Lu Ya smiled.

He particularly liked formations that drew upon the Sun Star's power.

Having understood its principles, breaking the array would not be difficult.

However, Lu Ya did not break it.

Amid Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, Lu Ya formed hand seals and sent out streams of mana radiance.

Before long, the array's operation began to change.

Strolling through the array, Lu Ya soon arrived at its Array Eye.

A wisp of Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi guided him onward.

After passing through the array, he beheld a towering mountain.

One Great Thousand World after another emerged, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, each on the same dimensional level as the Primordial World.

Whenever a Great Thousand World was destroyed, another Great Thousand World was born.

"This place truly is a blessed land," Lu Ya sighed.

After crossing one Great Thousand World after another, he finally saw the Three Pure Ones, along with a Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.

The Three Pure Ones had yet to assume human form, but all three already possessed Grand Unity level cultivation.

It seemed that all three had Grand Unity level foundations.

That was only natural. Pangu's Primordial Spirit had been nurtured by Innate Pure Qi, so it was naturally extraordinary.

Lu Ya's gaze swept over them. He first observed Taiqing, who existed naturally before the Great Void, arose without cause, passed through Heaven and Earth, and could not be defined by beginning or end. He reached the endless and attained the limitless, transformed in cycles alongside the Great Dao, rooted Heaven and Earth, spread qi through the ten directions, embraced the utmost purity of virtue, vast and boundless beyond description.

He then observed Yuqing, whose manifestation revealed a vision: before Heaven and Earth took shape, before chaos opened, before all things were born, he wandered within it. Later, yin and yang divided, and he breathed in the qi of heaven while residing before the Great Origin.

Finally, he observed Shangqing. He embodied the essence of Jade Celestial, the purple mist of celebratory clouds, jade brilliance shining brilliantly, golden light flowing with truth. He condensed transformation and contained beauty, embraced cohesion and established spirit. He was existence within nonexistence, nonexistence within existence; no form could be seen, no sound could be heard. Between wondrous existence and wondrous nonexistence, the Great Dao resided.

"The Three Pure Ones are revered deities, examining the root of the Dao, comprehending the source of the Dao, and embodying the qi of the Dao," Lu Ya thought.

Though the Three Pure Ones currently possessed only Grand Unity level cultivation, the three of them together could easily handle an ordinary Grand Unity cultivator.

With the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, whose might rivaled an Innate Supreme Treasure, it would be difficult for anyone below the Quasi-Saint realm to capture the Three Pure Ones.

Because they did not know whether Lu Ya was friend or foe, the Three Pure Ones remained on guard.

"Greetings. This humble Daoist is Lu Ya. While traveling through Kunlun Mountain, I mistakenly entered this place. I hope the three fellow Daoists will forgive the disturbance." Lu Ya smiled warmly, displaying his goodwill.

Yet even though Lu Ya had shown goodwill, the Three Pure Ones did not relax their vigilance.

"Taiqing greets Fellow Daoist." Taiqing released his divine sense to communicate with Lu Ya.

Immediately afterward, Yuqing and Shangqing also released their divine senses.

"Yuanshi (Tongtian) greets Fellow Daoist."

None of the Three Pure Ones could see through Lu Ya, yet they faintly sensed the Grand Unity Dao Charm from him.

After all, anyone capable of reaching this place could not be an ordinary figure.

"Meeting is fate. I wish to help the three fellow Daoists assume human form," Lu Ya told the Three Pure Ones.

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, all three fell silent.

After all, accepting this favor would mean owing karmic debt.

By themselves, the Three Pure Ones would likely need several, perhaps even more than ten, Cosmic Epochs before they could assume human form.

Assuming human form sooner was naturally better.

Even if assuming human form with outside assistance prevented their mana from flowing perfectly, they could adjust after spending some time harmonizing it.

"Then we must trouble Fellow Daoist," Taiqing said.

Yuqing and Shangqing both listened to their elder brother. Thus, Taiqing's attitude represented not only himself, but also his two younger brothers.

Helping the Three Pure Ones assume human form would not be easy.

Lu Ya's own mana was somewhat insufficient for the task.

Thus, Lu Ya connected his mind and spirit to the Sun Star.

In the unseen depths, a vast power of mana descended upon Lu Ya.

The next moment, Lu Ya extended a hand, and an immense surge of mana emerged from it, enveloping the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones were one, their qi linked together. To help them assume human form, he could only assist all three at once.

Trying to help only one of the Three Pure Ones assume human form while leaving the other two untouched would not work.

Who exactly was this man? His mana was truly boundless! The Three Pure Ones were secretly shocked.
