Different Origins, Different Fates; the Terrifying Might of Heaven and Earth; Kind-Hearted Fuxi

"That's all. This ancestor cannot afford to provoke these three for now, so let them have their moment of fame."

"Once this ancestor finds the opportunity to become a saint in the Purple Cloud Palace, what will Pangu's Three Pure Ones amount to then?"

"They will have to lower their eyes before me as well."

Watching the Pangu Three Pure Ones display their divine majesty before the masses, Kunpeng Ancestor was inwardly consumed with jealousy. Still, he brought out the Demon Master Palace in his hand, transforming it into an incomparably vast palace before fleeing into it.

Under the gazes of countless Innate Saints, he piloted the Demon Master Palace through the Void Bixi Wind and entered the chaos.

As for the Three Pure Ones, they took form atop Kunlun Mountain. Laozi's Taiqing Qi was the first to be born, inheriting Pangu's will and appearing with a Primordial Dao Body.

At that time, the world was round above and square below, so they all took forms with round heads and square feet, harmonizing with Heaven and Earth and secretly conforming to the Heavenly Mandate.

He did not mind his ugly appearance, and his temperament was indifferent, with nothing in the myriad things lingering in his heart.

When he took form and appeared in the world, an Innate Plum Tree stood beside him. Thus, he took Li as his surname and called himself Li Dan.

Seeing that the two masses of clear qi beside him had yet to take form, he compared himself to a teacher who transmitted the Dao, imparted knowledge, and resolved doubts, so he also called himself Laozi.

Moreover, he was the first of the Three Pure Ones to take form, born with knowledge.

Thus, he naturally transformed into an old man wearing a Taiqing Fish-Tail Crown and an Eight-Treasure Myriad Longevity Purple Radiance Robe.

He discussed the Dao with the two masses of clear qi beside him, helping them take form.

Yuanshi's Yuqing Qi had a gentle disposition, so it was the second to take form.

He too understood heavenly principles, transforming into a dignified and magnificent middle-aged Daoist with white hair parted down the middle, wearing a Yuqing Lotus Crown and a Jade-Thread Golden-Silk Rainbow Robe.

Yuanshi was born bearing heavenly principles. He considered himself Pangu's orthodox successor, proud and arrogant in spirit. Believing himself to be the source of the Heavenly Dao, that all things were born because of him and the Primordial Wilderness was opened because of him, he styled himself Yuanshi Tianzun.

Tongtian's Shangqing Qi was delayed in taking form because the Heavenly Dao had been incomplete after Pangu opened the heavens. Moreover, when Pangu's Primordial Spirit split into the Three Pure Ones, some lingering demonic intent and killing intent remained from Pangu's slaughter of three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

Yet what hindered him was also what made him.

During the period when Shangqing Qi nurtured a Primordial Dao Body and took form, it was tempered by the demonic intent and killing intent left behind by Pangu. His will became unyieldingly strong, and he forcibly shattered the heaven-opening demonic intent and killing intent left by Pangu the Father God, taking form and appearing in the world.

He transformed into a handsome young man with black hair falling to his waist, wearing a Shangqing Hibiscus Crown and a crimson-and-white crane-patterned silk robe, naming himself Tongtian.

He believed that relying on oneself was better than begging others, that one could triumph over Heaven and reach Heaven itself. Hence his name.

However, although Tongtian broke through the obstruction of demonic intent and killing intent to take form and appear in the world, he had not truly refined or dispelled it.

This became one of the causes behind the Interception Sect disciples later becoming tainted by the Killing Tribulation, unable to escape it, and the Interception Sect ultimately being destroyed.

That is a later matter, so let us not mention it for now.

The many Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial Wilderness saw that famous Grand Luo immortals such as the Three Pure Ones and Kunpeng had successively controlled Innate Spiritual Treasures, safely passed through the Void Bixi Wind's gale layer, entered the chaos, and headed for the Purple Cloud Palace.

They immediately stopped hesitating. Some brought out their Companion Spiritual Treasures, some called on friends, some went alone, and some formed groups, all charging into the chaos together.

The remaining innate beings lingering along the edge of the Heaven and Earth Membrane beyond the heavens became frantic. They each displayed their methods and divine abilities, hoping to cross this barrier between Heaven and Earth.

But how could entering the chaos be so easy?

Those Innate Saints with Grand Yi Golden Immortal cultivation, protected by one or two Innate-grade spiritual treasures, barely managed to force their way through the Void Bixi Wind.

Yet their figures swayed and lurched unsteadily within the chaos, seemingly liable at any moment to be worn away and perish beneath the terrifying Chaos Energy. Once their mana was exhausted, it would be the time of their fall.

Some Innate Saints who sensed that things were going badly were struck by the Chaos Energy, and their minds, originally clouded by greedy desire, instantly cleared.

The blazing desires in their hearts were extinguished in an instant as though drenched with ice water. They no longer dared dream of the opportunity to become saints in the Purple Cloud Palace, immediately retreating and returning to the Heaven and Earth Membrane.

As for those innate beings without Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation and without Innate Spiritual Treasures to protect them, they died miserably.

The moment they plunged into the Void Bixi Wind's gale layer, they only had time to let out a shrill scream before becoming void-origin qi.

They used their very lives to warn those behind them of the terror and horror of Chaos Energy.

Even so, quite a few Primordial Powerhouses remained unwilling to accept it, believing their divine abilities could defy the Heavenly Mandate, and plunged headlong into the Void Bixi Wind.

However, the Void Bixi Wind, capable of wearing away both primordial spirits and bodies, instantly taught them how to live life.

The moment one foot stepped into the gale layer, the endless fierce winds following behind ground away their Dao Bodies and wore down their primordial spirits. They vanished without a trace in an instant, deader than dead, using their blood and tears to accuse the Might of Heaven and Earth.

This sight chilled the hearts of all innate beings below the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm who lacked Great Destiny, and despair appeared on their faces.

"How unfair is the Heavenly Dao, to block my Dao Path!"

"I hate Heaven's injustice! I hate the Dao's unfairness!"

The innate beings remaining by the shore of the world membrane were all enraged beyond measure, roaring furiously at the sky.

The opportunity to attain the Dao was right before their eyes. So long as they passed through the Void Bixi Wind's gale layer and crossed the Chaos Sea, they could reach the Purple Cloud Palace on the other shore.

Yet now they could only watch helplessly as the opportunity slipped away for nothing. What profound resentment and despair that was.

"Alas!"

A faint sigh suddenly came from within the world membrane.

Some nearby Primordial Powerhouses looked over and saw the light of a Precious Lotus Lamp emerge in the void, with a man and a woman seated within it.

They were Fuxi and Nüwa, the siblings who had come from Phoenix Perch Valley on Buzhou Mountain.

"Fellow Daoists, if you have neither Innate Spiritual Treasures for protection nor Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, I advise you not to venture carelessly into the chaos."

"Otherwise, you will merely waste your lives, sending your cultivation of countless eons down the drain and meeting a bleak end of Death and Dao Annihilation."

"Do not let the sacrifices of those fellow Daoists just now be wasted in vain."

"Opportunities may be good, but one must act within one's abilities. That is the wisest course."

Fuxi manifested from the Precious Lotus Lamp and earnestly advised the innate beings at the edge beyond the heavens, those lingering by the shore and hesitating over whether they should continue charging inside.

Nüwa merely glanced at these people before turning her gaze away, no longer paying them any attention.

A group of Innate Saints with poor origins, shallow cultivation, and uneven qualities simply were not worth sympathizing with.

They clearly knew that only Grand Luo Golden Immortals could cross the chaos beyond the heavens, yet they still came to throw away their lives. They were either foolish or greedy.

Nüwa had always been too lazy to pay attention to such people, lest they sully her eyes.

It was only that her elder brother Fuxi loved dispensing kindness, and Nüwa could do nothing about it.

She could only let him do as he pleased.

Who told her he was her elder brother?

As his younger sister, she had to indulge him a little.
