"Nine Revolutions Profound Art," Sculpting Perfect Lines

This time,

the Three Pure Ones did not speak up to stop it.

They had already done many things in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Now, being granted a karmic position seemed like a wonderful thing in the eyes of most Red Dust Guests, and they had no standing to make the decision for Queen Mother of the West.

Under their watchful eyes, Queen Mother of the West ultimately accepted the supreme karmic position bestowed by the sage Hongjun.

She also received the Western Plain White Cloud Boundary Flag.

The position of chief among the realm's female immortals was indeed a raw deal, but the Western Plain White Cloud Boundary Flag was good stuff.

It had been transformed from a lotus leaf of the Creation Azure Lotus. If all five pieces were united, they could even form the innate supreme treasure, the Innate Five Directional Banners. Strictly speaking, it shared the same origin as me. Absolutely a good thing.

The Innate Five Directional Banners.

The lotus leaves of the Creation Azure Lotus.

They shared an origin with his disciple.

Upper Pure Tongtian slightly raised his sword-like brows.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, what do you think?"

"You've already asked. What else is there to think?"

Jade Pure Yuanshi snorted coldly through divine sense.

"Since it shares an origin with Qingqing, we should find a way to obtain the Western Plain White Cloud Boundary Flag from Queen Mother of the West."

"The Western Plain White Cloud Boundary Flag belongs to metal. The Innate Five Directional Banners must correspond to the five elements. If we gather them all for Qingqing, she will surely achieve complete balance in the five elements and attain flawless perfection as a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"Second Brother is right. Setting Eastern Duke aside for now, it seems we must find a way to help Queen Mother of the West resolve the hidden danger in her position as chief among the female immortals of the realm."

A glint flashed through Supreme Pure Laozi's eyes as he made the final decision.

To make Queen Mother of the West hand over the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure bestowed by Hongjun to their disciple, they naturally needed to offer something of great value.

Supreme Pure Laozi intended to exchange help in resolving the hidden danger of her bestowed position for it.

Of course,

this thought had only just arisen. As for how exactly to proceed, that would have to wait until later.

In any case,

he was determined to obtain the Western Plain White Cloud Boundary Flag, one of the Innate Five Directional Banners.

Zhou Qingqing had no idea that the Three Pure Ones had conceived a series of plans in order to let her obtain the Western Plain White Cloud Boundary Flag, which shared her origin.

If she had known, she would likely have praised her masters' wisdom and might once more.

"The sermon has ended. You may all depart. Return to the Purple Cloud Palace when the next sermon begins."

Hongjun the big boss had finally left.

Zhou Qingqing let out a long breath of relief inwardly.

She had been worried all along that Hongjun would discover that she was an anomaly. Now, it seemed she had simply been overthinking things.

With the protection of my three masters and the concealment of the Creation Azure Lotus, there's no way Hongjun could discover me. Still, being under his nose all the time makes me so nervous. I hope my Three Pure Ones masters won't bring me along next time they come to hear the sermon. Please...

Nervous?

Nervous, her ass.

The Three Pure Ones found Qingqing's prayer amusing when they heard it.

Ever since Zhou Qingqing had entered the Purple Cloud Palace, her inner thoughts had been exceedingly lively. She had been freely commenting on every Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal listening to the sermon. There had not been even the slightest trace of panic, all right?

As for not bringing her along to the next sermon,

that was even more impossible.

Oh, oh, she's coming over. Houtu must be coming to thank us after hearing the sermon. Though she's an Ancestral Witch, Houtu truly is the most magnanimous one.

Hearing Zhou Qingqing's inner voice, the Three Pure Ones finally raised their eyes. Sure enough, Houtu, clad in a plain-colored Daoist robe, entered their sight.

Though she had been transformed from Pangu's Blood Essence, she indeed had the least baleful divine aura about her.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. Thank you for pleading on my behalf and allowing me to enter the Purple Cloud Palace to hear the sermon. I am the Ancestral Witch Houtu. I have no primordial spirit and cannot deduce your honored names, so I have come specifically to offer my thanks."

From far away, I couldn't see clearly. Only up close can I truly appreciate Lady Houtu's beautiful figure. As expected of an Ancestral Witch who cultivates the physical body. I'm so envious... I want a figure like that too.

The proper atmosphere did not even last three seconds.

The Three Pure Ones heard Zhou Qingqing once again deliver her sharp critique of the approaching Houtu, and it had directly extended into a field they absolutely did not wish to touch.

Jade Pure Yuanshi immediately stepped forward.

He could not allow his disciple's thoughts to run wild.

Otherwise, things would truly become unbearable.

As the one who had risen to plead for her in the first place, Jade Pure Yuanshi acted quickly. "I am Jade Pure Yuanshi. This is my eldest brother, Supreme Pure Laozi, and he is my third brother, Upper Pure Tongtian."

"We brothers were transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, so we have some connection with Fellow Daoist Houtu. That is why we spoke on your behalf. There is no need to thank us."

The Three Pure Ones transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit.

Houtu was slightly stunned.

She had not expected that the fellow Daoists who had helped her were truly connected to her.

When Father God Pangu separated his primordial spirit and Blood Essence for transformation, he likely had not intended for the beings born from his Blood Essence and physical body to become entangled with one another.

Houtu had never seen her elder brother Dijiang show any intention of seeking out the Three Pure Ones either.

Yet she had encountered the Three Pure Ones, transformed from Father God's primordial spirit, here in the Purple Cloud Palace.

More importantly, the Three Pure Ones had helped her, allowing her to successfully enter the Purple Cloud Palace and hear the sermon. There truly was fate between them.

"Greetings, three Daoist brothers. Houtu offers her respects."

After learning the identities of the Three Pure Ones, Houtu solemnly bowed once more to Jade Pure Yuanshi.

"Daoist Brother Yuanshi pleaded on my behalf and did me a favor. What must Houtu do to repay this kindness?"

Jade Pure Yuanshi flicked his sleeve, about to say, "It was merely a small matter, no need to take it to heart."

Judging by Houtu's tone, she truly intended to repay the favor.

An Ancestral Witch received help from my second master, who was transformed from a primordial spirit. It really would be improper not to offer thanks.

For an Ancestral Witch like Houtu, she must take such things even more seriously. Otherwise, when she returns to the other Ancestral Witches, they may think she lacks manners.

Second Master absolutely can't treat this casually, or it would be no different from looking down on the Ancestral Witches.

But Houtu doesn't have anything particularly good right now.

Zhou Qingqing pondered inwardly.

Right, I remember that Second Master once passed down an adapted version of the "Eight-Nine Profound Art." Now that an Ancestral Witch is here, isn't this the perfect chance to ask about the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art"?

Then I can ask Master to teach me as well, cultivate it, and forge the most perfect lines.

What a pity. Right now, I'm supposed to be a Little Green Lotus who knows absolutely nothing about the Ancestral Witches. I can't say a word...

Zhou Qingqing sighed helplessly.

She was merely a Little Green Lotus on Eastern Kunlun, one who had never even seen the world. She could only remain silent.

Jade Pure Yuanshi's expression turned cold and solemn.

He had not actually wanted anything. But since his disciple wanted the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" to refine her future lines, he might as well comply with her request.

Even if Zhou Qingqing truly intended to sculpt perfect lines, he would simply accept it!
