Three Talents and Four Symbols

Zhou Yang was burning with anxiety.

Some top-tier innate deities, such as the Three Pure Ones transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, emerged in their true forms as Great Luo beings, but what immense heavenly Luck did that require?

In the Primordial Wilderness, as long as an innate deity-level being had sufficient roots and an Innate Dao Body, when the time came, they would naturally emerge smoothly.

Before Hongjun attained sainthood, aside from Innate Spiritual Roots and treasures, there were basically no tribulations or lightning tribulations for transformation.

It was said that the timing of transformation was more about the depth of one's roots and the moment of emergence.

For instance, the East Prince and the Queen Mother of the West, originally transformed from the Yin-Yang Origin Qi, could cultivate all the way to the Great Luo realm before emerging.

But a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root was different! The efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and comprehending laws through the original form was ultimately not as direct and smooth as through the Innate Dao Body.

For a spiritual root, transformation was the true key step to breaking free from shackles and stepping onto the smooth path of seeking the Dao!

The earlier the transformation, the sooner one could cultivate, travel, and compete for opportunities in the Dao Body form.

"Fortunately..."

The banana tree swayed slightly, the seven-colored light on its leaves accelerating in its flow.

"I not only crossed over and mastered the Four Symbols Origin of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, but over these years, I have continuously evolved, forcibly opening and evolving the three symbols of Yin, Yang, and Thunder within the origin!

If I hadn't appeared, I would have been forcibly dismantled and refined into a treasure, and the banana tree would have struggled to fully integrate these seven symbols."

At this moment, Zhou Yang's origin had surpassed the original "Four Symbols."

It had reached the number of "Three Talents, Four Symbols, Seven Extremes," encompassing Yin, Yang, Thunder, plus Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, subtly aligning with the mysterious workings of the Heavenly Dao.

After who knows how many epochs, spiritual energy suddenly rebounded into the Primordial Wilderness. A tremor from the deepest essence of life, like a volcano dormant for billions of years, abruptly erupted at the core of the banana tree!

The Form Transformation Opportunity had finally arrived!

Boom—!!!

The originally peaceful and serene sky above the secluded valley suddenly changed! Boundless, ink-black tribulation clouds, thick as ink, emerged out of nowhere, instantly covering the vast sky at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Within the tribulation clouds, billions of purple and golden electric serpents wildly surged, entangled, and condensed, emitting deafening roars that made even the primordial spirit tremble!

A vast, majestic, indifferent will of the Heavenly Dao, containing destruction and new life, firmly locked onto the swaying, radiant banana tree deep in the valley.

The terrifying pressure of the thunder tribulation, like a solid substance, descended and instantly spread across the Primordial Wilderness!

On Kunlun Mountain, three extraordinary Daoists were discussing the Dao.

The leading elder, holding a Jade Purity Duster, had an ancient and simple face; to his left, one held a Qingping Sword, sharp and aggressive; to his right, one cradled a Jade Ruyi, with a gentle expression.

Boom—!

The heart-stopping thunderclap pierced through the void. Tongtian Daoist, holding the Qingping Sword, suddenly rose, his eyes blazing with sharp light, shooting straight toward Buzhou Mountain.

"Eldest Brother! Second Brother! What a terrifying thunder tribulation! Such power is by no means an ordinary treasure emerging or a being transforming!

It must be a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering great opportunity! We should go and see at once!"

Taishang Laojun, holding the duster, frowned slightly, his fingers moving as if deducing the heavenly secrets. After a moment, a flicker of surprise and confusion crossed his eyes:

"Hmm? Strange and peculiar."

"I just felt a slight stir in my heart, as if my own Luck had been touched. Vaguely, there seems to be a thread...

Something that should have belonged to me is manifesting at the source of the thunder tribulation, yet it is blurry and indistinct, as if something is missing?"

He was usually one for Purity and Non-Action, but now his tone carried a rare hint of agitation.

"There must be something unusual here. Let's go!"

Before his words faded, Taishang Laojun had already transformed into a beam of Pure Light, tearing through space and speeding away.

"Haha, Eldest Brother is truly anxious!

Second Brother, let's hurry and see what opportunity could move even Eldest Brother!"

Tongtian laughed heartily, his spirit soaring, transforming into a sword light and following closely.

"Good."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate, holding the Jade Ruyi, with a solemn expression, also turned into an auspicious golden light, breaking through the air in pursuit.

The Dao resonance of the Three Pure Ones pointed straight toward the secluded valley at Buzhou Mountain.

Jade Capital Mountain, Purple Cloud Palace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had been meditating with closed eyes to repair his primordial spirit wounded by the God-Slaying Spear during the great battle with Rahula, suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes, containing endless Dao principles, seemed to pierce through time and space, instantly landing on the gathering thunder clouds at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

"Oh?"

A rare look of gravity and confusion appeared on Hongjun's face. He silently urged the fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation, trying to deduce the heavenly secrets.

"Strange... This thunder tribulation is clearly sent by the Heavenly Dao, containing the opportunity of Creation and Destruction. Its power is even far beyond the tribulation of an ordinary being's transformation.

Yet... regarding its origin, Karma, and future... it is all chaos! Is the heavenly secret completely obscured?

Or... does this object or being itself lie outside the constant principles of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Forget it. The Tribulation has just passed, and the heavenly secrets are already obscure and hard to discern. My primordial spirit, wounded by the God-Slaying Spear, has not yet healed. It is even less appropriate to force the matter."

"Fortune or calamity, it is already fated."

He lightly waved the whisk in his hand, dispelling the doubts in his heart, then closed his eyes again to focus on healing, gathering strength for the coming tribulation of enlightenment.

Deep within the palace amidst the surging waves of the Blood Sea, Old Ancestor Minghe sat atop the Twelve-Petaled Karma Fire Red Lotus.

His scarlet eyes snapped open abruptly, shooting forth two beams of tangible blood light that pierced through the layers of the Blood Sea, aimed straight toward Buzhou Mountain.

"Why... does This Old Ancestor's heart stir, feeling a trace of inexplicable loss?"

Minghe's brow furrowed tightly, his fingers unconsciously tapping the petals of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, producing a dull, hollow sound.

"The opportunity that should belong to This Old Ancestor is shrouded in a layer of mist... and even... there is a risk of someone else beating me to it?"

"Hmph! No matter what you are, to draw such a thunder tribulation, you must be no ordinary treasure! You are fated with This Old Ancestor!"

With a flash of blood light, Minghe and his Karma Fire Red Lotus vanished instantly from the depths of the Blood Sea, speeding toward Buzhou Mountain.

On Fengqi Mountain, the great god Fuxi gently plucked the strings of the ancient and profound Fuxi Qin, sending out ripples of mysterious resonance as he deduced the source of the thunder tribulation.

His handsome face was veiled with deep confusion and gravity:

"Feng Xi, this thunder tribulation... is no small matter.

The Power of Heavenly Punishment it contains faintly carries the meaning of the Primordial Chaos opening and the birth of origins!

What's stranger is... when I deduce its roots and opportunities, it is nothing but chaotic mist, utterly incalculable!"

Beside him, Feng Xi's beautiful eyes shimmered with astonishment:

"Even you, brother, cannot glimpse its truth? It seems this object is truly strange.

To stir such a mighty thunder tribulation and throw the heavenly mechanism into chaos, it is worth a look no matter what.

Perhaps it is an opportunity for us siblings as well."

"Let's go!"

Fuxi put away his ancient qin, exchanged a glance with Feng Xi, and two streaks of light shot into the sky, tearing across the horizon, their target Buzhou Mountain.

In that moment, Primordial Great Powers who sensed this unusual thunder tribulation, whether near or far, driven by curiosity, greed, doubt, vigilance, and all manner of thoughts, converged toward this nameless secluded valley at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

An invisible undercurrent stirred quietly amid the roar of the thunder tribulation.
