The Three Pure Ones Join Forces to Build Me a Lotus Pond

Wow, I really struck it lucky. I actually get this kind of treatment.

Jade Pure Yuanshi was unexpectedly quite thoughtful.

Is Yuanshi actually the mature and dependable type?

Four Unlike, Sister has already been bought off. I can't speak up for you anymore.

As the saying went, those who ate others' food spoke softly, and those who took others' gifts came up short. For the sake of living happily in the Primordial World from now on, she could only wrong him.

When Sister leaves Mount Kunlun, I'll bring you along too...

Jade Pure Yuanshi was dumbfounded.

If he had known Zhou Qingqing would switch sides so quickly—

He should have given that fellow First Qilin's ancestral aura right away.

Jade Pure Yuanshi now deeply regretted his miscalculation.

As for Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian, they were completely dumbfounded after hearing Zhou Qingqing's thoughts.

This little girl seemed rather easy to satisfy.

Just a tiny bit of ancestral aura had brought about such a huge change in her.

Yet in that instant—

The Three Pure Ones all arrived at the same solution—win her over with kindness.

If they treated the Zhou Qingqing before them better in every matter, their place in Little Green Lotus's heart would surely grow more important. That way, they could get her to reveal more information related to the Three Pure Ones themselves.

This became the rule they set for themselves after hearing Zhou Qingqing's sudden shift in attitude.

After the Qilin Cliff incident—

The Three Pure Ones had tentatively concluded that the contents revealed in Creation Azure Lotus's thoughts were true.

That was not a good thing for the Three Pure Ones.

If Zhou Qingqing's words described events highly likely to happen in the future—

Then it meant that the fortune of the three brothers might be divided, that brothers might contend against one another, and even slaughter one another.

Had the Three Pure Ones not known of this outcome, they might truly not have cared.

But now that they knew such a thing might happen, they naturally wanted to avoid that outcome.

Even if none of them said it aloud—

Deep down, all of them had grown somewhat heavier than before.

And if they wished to change that outcome, the key still lay with Zhou Qingqing, who had just been grumbling about Yuanshi.

Clearly—

She possessed an extremely deep understanding of the Three Pure Ones.

Yet accomplishing this would likely take an extremely long time. It was by no means something that could be done in one stroke.

Seeing Jade Pure Yuanshi and Upper Pure Tongtian's expressions darken—

Supreme Pure Laozi chuckled.

"Enough. Now that matters here are settled, it is time for us to return to Eastern Kunlun."

"The 24-Petal Creation Azure Lotus is an innate supreme treasure. We must hurry back and prepare a lotus pond suitable for its growth."

"This is the first innate supreme treasure we have obtained. The two of you must build it a proper lotus pond."

Wow, Supreme Pure Laozi really has the bearing of an elder brother.

A lotus pond prepared especially for me? Then I'll accept it without hesitation!

If the Three Pure Ones are truly going to act, it will definitely be a grand undertaking.

Let me think. Tongtian should handle the bottom of the lotus pond. Tongtian cultivates the Sword Dao, so there should be no need to worry too much about either force or aesthetics.

As for Jade Pure Yuanshi, I just received ancestral aura from him. Asking him to do more would be too inconsiderate. Still, it would be best if the lotus pond were built near Qilin Cliff. Qilin Cliff is the ancestral court of a lineage, so being closer should benefit my cultivation.

The key is still the water in this lotus pond.

Creation Sacred Water, Three Lights Divine Water, Merit Water—those are the kinds of things worthy of Supreme Pure Laozi's status, right?

Forget it, I seem to be making things too difficult for him. These spiritual waters are treasures that can only be encountered by chance throughout the Primordial World. Something lesser would do too. I wonder whether he can produce Essence of Innate Kui Water...

The curve of Supreme Pure Laozi's lips could not help but droop a little.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that he had spoken too much.

Building a lotus pond—

His third brother Tongtian only needed to lift a hand.

His second brother Yuanshi did not even need to do anything.

Yet as the eldest brother, he had to consider things like Creation Sacred Water, Three Lights Divine Water, and Merit Water?

Fortunately, the little girl still had some conscience.

She was at least considerate of him.

He could still produce this Essence of Innate Kui Water.

He no longer wanted Zhou Qingqing to fantasize about his future.

If she got carried away, she might come up with even more terrifying terms.

The Three Pure Ones might indeed have been transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, but they truly did not possess so many fine treasures at present.

"Return. Hurry back. I already miss the scenery of Eastern Kunlun. Stop dawdling here!"

Jade Pure Yuanshi: ...

Upper Pure Tongtian: ...

Their eldest brother, who had always remained composed and unruffled, had now fled in disarray. One could imagine just how great the pressure Zhou Qingqing had placed upon them.

At this moment, they had no leisure to mock their elder brother.

One careless move—

And they would be collateral damage when the city gate caught fire.

At once—

The two brothers exchanged a glance.

They too summoned their escape lights and returned to Eastern Kunlun at a speed even greater than before.

Now Zhou Qingqing was dumbfounded.

She had thought she would be able to enjoy more of the Primordial World's scenery.

But instead—

The Three Pure Ones raced back to Eastern Kunlun as though they were hurrying to reincarnate, leaving her no chance at all to admire the sights.

Forget it. If I can't see it, then I can't see it. They're returning to Eastern Kunlun to build a lotus pond for me, after all, so I'll forgive them.

Zhou Qingqing was someone easily satisfied.

She promptly cast aside those tangled thoughts.

I just got First Qilin's ancestral aura. I can study this thing along the way and pass the time.

The ancestral aura Jade Pure Yuanshi had given her was stored within her lotus dais.

Now, she could use the journey to find a way to refine it and transform it into her own power.

Within the Primordial World—

Cultivation knew no passage of years.

When she turned her attention back to the Primordial World again, she saw another towering divine mountain.

They had already returned to the Three Pure Ones' current Daoist ground, as well as Zhou Qingqing's residence for some time to come—Eastern Kunlun.

"Hehe, let me settle Qilin Cliff first!"

Jade Purity smiled and flicked his sleeve. Qilin Cliff, which had been moved from Mount Buzhou, was placed atop Eastern Kunlun.

"Tongtian, Qilin Cliff shall become the ancestral court of Eastern Kunlun's lineage. Build a lotus pond beside it."

Tongtian's black hair fluttered as he nodded slightly.

In the blink of an eye, sword qi danced through the air. Carved beams and painted rafters arose, clearing out an enormous space filled with countless Dao patterns and talismans etched by sword qi, profound beyond measure.

"A good pond should have good water."

Supreme Pure Laozi gave a soft shout, and the Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda was summoned.

Under the effect of his mana, wisps of merit power atop it slowly transformed into the finest divine water in the world and flowed into the lotus pond.

In an instant—

The water shimmered and sparkled.
