Change

The moment this thought arose, it took deep root in Taiqing's heart.

Acting as soon as he thought of it, Taiqing formed a sword with his fingers and divided his Origin into two portions.

Each portion was exactly the same size as the Shangqing Origin and Yuqing Origin he had absorbed.

A heart-rending pain spread through his Primordial Spirit and body. Taiqing's body instantly convulsed from the agony, while beads of sweat streamed down like rain.

Enduring the pain, Taiqing then split off a portion each from the Yuqing and Shangqing Origins.

He then gave his own Taiqing Origin to his two younger brothers.

He exchanged the portions divided from his two younger brothers' Origins.

Thus, Taiqing, Shangqing, and Yuqing, the Three Brothers, each possessed a portion of one another's Origin.

"Once the Origins finish fusing, we shall see whether my two younger brothers can develop my One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones divine ability."

With his Origin divided, Taiqing was in such pain that he could not move, so he hurriedly sat down to meditate.

While protecting his two younger brothers as they gestated, he absorbed clear qi to repair his Origin.

Though he had lost a portion of his Origin, the Shangqing and Yuqing Origins he had previously absorbed were enough to replenish it.

In contrast to the tranquility of Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Wilderness was exceedingly lively at this moment.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans had completely descended into war. By now, all three clans were converging upon the Western Continent.

As though guided by some unseen force, the three clans were preparing to fight their final battle on the Western Continent.

The mastermind manipulating the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans was naturally Devil Ancestor Luohu, who had been plotting in secret.

In order to refine the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, Devil Ancestor Luohu had plotted against the three clans and caused them to vie for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness.

Using the baleful qi and Calamity Qi produced by the war for supremacy among the three clans, he refined the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

Once the Four Swords of Zhu Xian were completed, they could not be broken without four Saints.

Luohu did all this naturally to contend with Hongjun and determine who would become the Dao Integrator of the Heavenly Dao.

The three clans were nothing more than sacrifices in the struggle between Hongjun and Luohu, the Dao-Devil War.

Yet once a Tribulation began, all who entered it lost control over their own fates.

At this point, even if Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Beginning Qilin had realized the final outcome awaiting their clans, they could no longer stop events from unfolding.

What was more, although all three leaders possessed Late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal cultivation, they had been tainted by Calamity Qi and had completely slaughtered until their eyes turned red.

Beneath Mount Sumeru, Luohu continuously drew in the Calamity Qi and baleful qi produced by the conflict among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans to refine the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

If Mount Sumeru had not suppressed the terrifying baleful qi of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian,

the entire Western Continent would likely have become a land of baleful qi, no longer suitable for living beings to inhabit.

On Jade Capital Mountain, Hongjun was entertaining a group of great powers, a trace of scheming flashing through his eyes.

Most of these great powers were Chaos Demon Gods reincarnated into the Primordial Wilderness to cultivate anew, and they were now on good terms with Hongjun.

Yet they had no idea that they were merely cannon fodder in Hongjun's calculations.

"Phew... I finally recovered from the injuries to my Origin. Thankfully, I had the aid of the Taiji Diagram, this World-Opening Supreme Treasure.

Otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken to recover from such injuries to my Origin?"

Taiqing had neither the inclination nor the ability to concern himself with what was happening outside.

After being born, Taiqing had spent several Eons healing his injuries on Kunlun Mountain.

Fortunately, the Taiji Diagram had helped draw in the clear qi between heaven and earth, allowing Taiqing to restore his injured Origin.

Otherwise, if Taiqing had relied on absorbing clear qi by himself to heal, it would likely have taken at least several hundred Eons to recover.

Only now did Taiqing finally begin examining himself and the place where he had been gestated.

The moment he was born, Taiqing possessed peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation. His foundations were exceptionally deep.

Throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness, there was likely no one with foundations deeper than the Sanqing.

When he looked toward his two younger brothers, he saw a small golden bell suspended above Yuqing Yuanshi's Origin.

The little bell released streams of golden light, drawing in the clear qi between heaven and earth to repair what Yuqing Yuanshi's Origin lacked and strengthen it.

When he looked toward Shangqing Lingbao's Origin, he saw an ancient, enormous banner. Yin-Yang fish manifested upon it, while earth, fire, water, and wind were recreated.

An unmatched force of slaughter radiated from it.

The enormous banner was likewise suspended above Shangqing Lingbao's Origin, releasing streams of emerald light.

It drew in the clear qi between heaven and earth, repairing what Shangqing Lingbao's Origin lacked and strengthening it.

The instant Taiqing saw this, he froze in place.

What? What was going on?

The Chaos Bell? The Pangu Banner?

Why were these two World-Opening Supreme Treasures the Companion Treasures of his second and third brothers?

Together with his own Taiji Diagram, did that not mean all three great World-Opening Supreme Treasures were in the hands of the Three Brothers?

And why was Yuqing Yuanshi's Companion Treasure the Chaos Bell rather than the Pangu Banner?

One question after another surfaced in Taiqing's mind.

Yet Taiqing also felt that this was the proper arrangement.

The Pangu Banner possessed the greatest offensive power in the Primordial Wilderness and could unleash peerless Chaos Sword Qi.

It perfectly suited his third brother Shangqing Lingbao's offensive Dao, granting him unparalleled combat strength.

The Chaos Bell possessed the power to suppress worlds, control time and space, reverse the time and space of all heavens, and derive the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.

It coincided perfectly with the Dao of his second brother Yuqing Yuanshi.

Such a distribution was the most appropriate choice.

"Could Pangu Father God have arranged things this way after seeing my memories?"

This was the only explanation Taiqing could think of.

"Big Brother, I never expected you to be born so much earlier than Third Brother and me."

At that moment, a thought came from within Yuqing Yuanshi's Origin.

Over the years, Yuqing Yuanshi's Origin had already developed intelligence and could communicate with the outside world.

Seeing that Taiqing had already taken form and been born, Yuqing Yuanshi's tone was filled with envy.

"Big Brother, why were you born so much earlier than Second Brother and me?

The three of us were gestated together. We should have been born together as well. It truly is difficult to understand."

Shangqing Lingbao's Origin had likewise developed intelligence, and another thought emerged.

It too conveyed deep envy toward Taiqing.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, I do not know either. Perhaps this was Pangu Father God's arrangement.

After I developed intelligence, I began actively drawing in and absorbing the clear qi between heaven and earth.

That was why I was born so many Eons ahead of you. Second Brother, Third Brother, you should also quickly begin actively absorbing clear qi and be born sooner.

Then the three of us brothers can travel together through the Great Desolation World created by Father God."

Taiqing did not want to explain. He could hardly say that he had transmigrated here, could he?

If he explained it that way and the Heavenly Dao noticed, he would likely suffer the destruction of both body and soul.

Since he could not explain it clearly, it was best to attribute it to Pangu Father God.

Besides, his becoming Taiqing truly had been Pangu Father God's arrangement.

Sure enough, after hearing that it was Pangu Father God's arrangement, neither Yuqing nor Shangqing continued dwelling on the matter.

"Big Brother, clear qi can be actively drawn in and absorbed?

I always thought it would enter my Origin on its own.

No wonder you were born so much earlier than us, Big Brother."

Yuqing Yuanshi gave it a try and discovered that clear qi truly could be actively drawn in and absorbed.

He immediately felt regretful. How many Eons had he wasted?

"Big Brother, why did you not tell us sooner?

Clear qi can actually be absorbed actively. Like Second Brother, I thought it would enter our Origins on its own."

Shangqing Lingbao tried as well and spoke with regret.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, it is not too late to actively absorb clear qi now.

Quickly draw in and absorb clear qi to strengthen your Origins, so that you can be born sooner."

Feeling somewhat awkward, Taiqing hurriedly ended the subject.

Was actively absorbing clear qi not instinctive?

Why had both his younger brothers been waiting for clear qi to enter their Origins on its own?

The only explanation Taiqing could think of was that his two younger brothers had only just developed intelligence and were simple-minded.

They completely failed to understand the importance of subjective initiative.

From this moment onward, the Primordial Wilderness seemed to have begun changing from the Primordial Wilderness in Taiqing's memories.

This change began with the Sanqing.
