Primordial Mid-stage, The Three Pure Ones' Suffering

Thirty thousand years of time quietly passed in Di Jiang's dedicated cultivation. Benefiting from the pure Yin-Yang Dao Rhyme continuously provided by the Yin-Yang Banana Tree, and the deeper understanding of time and the essence of the Great Dao gained during his previous discussion with the Candle Dragon, coupled with the Banana Tree possessing the Yin-Yang origin, Di Jiang's comprehension of the Yin-Yang Law grew increasingly profound, reaching a new level of mastery.

The Yin and Yang energies circulated ceaselessly within his Primordial Spirit, mutually generating and overcoming each other, evolving infinite mysteries. These mysteries cross-referenced with his Space Law and Five Elements Law, making his Dao foundation even more robust and stable.

On this day, the aura within the Pangu Divine Hall abruptly changed! Dao Rhyme erupted around Di Jiang, the space slightly distorted, and the Yin and Yang energies transformed into a substantial phantom of the Taiji Diagram, slowly rotating behind him, with the Five Elements' brilliance flowing within.

The bottleneck of the early Primordial Golden Immortal stage, which had stagnated for so long, shattered with the accumulated progress! His aura climbed steadily at a stable pace, finally stabilizing at a new level—the middle stage of Primordial Golden Immortal!

"Middle stage Primordial Golden Immortal, finally another step forward."

Di Jiang examined himself internally, quite satisfied. Cultivating the Law Dao, reaching his level, every breakthrough was exceptionally difficult.

And during the thirty thousand years he spent in seclusion and breakthrough, the outside Primordial World had already been thrown into turmoil by the method of severing three corpses to prove the Dao, passed down by Hongjun!

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Di Jun and Taiyi, Jieyin and Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun, and other top Great Powers, lived up to their origins and Fortune/Destiny.

Although in this life, the Three Pure Ones lost the most compatible Spiritual Treasures formed from the Green Lotus of Creation, such as the Willow Branch, the Ruyi Scepter, and the Qingping Sword, they still relied on their profound foundations and luck!

They found other Innate Spiritual Treasures with compatible attributes and considerable power, perhaps also a secret compensation from Hongjun? In any case, they successfully severed their good or evil corpses, and all stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm!

In an instant, the structure of the Primordial World's high-end combat power was completely rewritten, and the Quasi-Saint era officially began!

However, severing corpses required Innate Spiritual Treasures that resonated with oneself, which undoubtedly intensified the competition for the already scarce Innate Spiritual Treasures. On the Primordial World's land, killing tribulations arose everywhere, and smoke of war was constant. To contend for an Innate Spiritual Treasure that might be used for severing corpses, former drinking companions could turn into enemies in the blink of an eye!

Tragedies of lovers turning against each other and brothers fighting each other occurred frequently. The Great Powers either acted personally or dispatched their disciples' forces, searching and contending for Spiritual Treasures throughout the Primordial World, fighting until mountains and rivers were shattered and the sun and moon lost their light.

Di Jiang's divine sense covered the Primordial World, watching all this with cold indifference. He saw Golden Immortals spill blood in their caves for a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and he saw ancient clans suffer annihilation for possessing treasures.

But he had no intention of intervening. Di Jiang's heart was indifferent; such a level of slaughter was merely a minor ailment to the vast Primordial World, with little impact.

Those fallen Golden Immortals, who normally consumed vast amounts of spiritual energy and occupied numerous resources, actually lightened the burden on the Primordial World's land with their demise.

As long as it wasn't a self-detonation by a peak Primordial Golden Immortal like during the Dragon-Phoenix catastrophe or from the Demon Ancestor Luohu, a super-powerful force that shook the foundations of the Primordial World, the current chaos and slaughter caused by the competition for Spiritual Treasures were entirely within the self-healing capabilities of the Primordial World.

The shattered mountains and dried-up rivers would eventually recover under the influence of the world's laws. Moreover, after this cleansing, the distribution of power in the Primordial World would be reshuffled, perhaps giving birth to a new order.

Di Jiang was like a transcendent chess player, overlooking the disputes on the board. As long as it didn't affect his plans, he let them be. Di Jiang remained focused on his own Great Dao and the development within Mount Buzhou.

The external disturbances, for the time being, did not enter his purview. He was now a middle-stage Primordial Golden Immortal, and with his many trump cards, he was not afraid even if the newly promoted Quasi-Saints attacked him together.

What's more, his younger brothers and sisters were steadily improving their cultivation under his resources and guidance. The foundation of the Mount Buzhou lineage was quietly accumulating.

The breakthrough of the three from Kunlun was not on Kunlun. That day, after the Three Pure Ones returned from chaos, they were all somewhat disheartened by Kunpeng's escape!

However, as soon as the three returned to the Primordial World, they sensed the aura of Innate Spiritual Treasures!

This time, without any further incidents, the three top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were obtained by the Three Pure Ones effortlessly. The Three Pure Ones rejoiced, and having already grasped the method of severing corpses, they didn't bother returning to Kunlun. After obtaining the treasures, they immediately set up formations on the spot and began severing corpses to break through!

Ten thousand years later, pure qi surrounded their bodies, and all three had successfully severed one corpse, stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm! They were in good spirits, after all, their cultivation had greatly advanced, placing them at the pinnacle of the current Primordial World.

If you feel this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

However, this good mood vanished instantly when they returned to Kunlun Mountain and habitually scanned their dojo with their divine sense!

The area that originally held Qilin Cliff and exuded a peaceful and majestic aura was now completely empty! Let alone the huge cliff and the small world, even a trace of the Qilin clan's residual aura had been wiped clean, as if nothing had ever existed there!

"Outrageous!"

"Too much!"

"Hmm?"

Yuqing and Shangqing roared almost simultaneously, their faces ashen, their Quasi-Saint pressure uncontrollably emanating, causing countless beings on Kunlun Mountain to tremble!

They had just lost track of Kunpeng in the chaos, filled with anger, but successfully finding Spiritual Treasures to sever corpses was a blessing in disguise!

Who would have thought that upon returning home, their nest would be raided again! This was blatant humiliation, and also a misfortune disguised as fortune!

"First the Banana Tree, and now even Qilin Cliff..." Yuqing trembled with rage, feeling that Pangu's True Lineage's face had once again been ground into the dirt.

Shangqing directly took out his newly acquired corpse-severing Spiritual Treasure (not the Qingping Sword), his sword qi soaring, wishing he could immediately capture the repeatedly provoking thief and tear him to shreds!

Taiqing was relatively calm, but his expression was as dark as water. He carefully sensed the empty space, his brow furrowed: "The methods were clean and swift, the spatial fluctuations were deliberately disturbed, the Heavenly Secrets were chaotic, just like the theft of the Banana Tree."

He recalled the incident in the chaos when Kunpeng was about to be captured, the sudden appearance of extremely exquisite spatial intervention...

"Big Brother, it must still be that Kunpeng!" Yuqing gritted his teeth. Besides him, who else had such speed and control over space?

Shangqing echoed: "Exactly! This feathered beast must be holding a grudge and came to my Kunlun to cause trouble while we were away!"

However, Taiqing slowly shook his head: "No, this time it's probably not Kunpeng."

Seeing his two brothers' confused gazes, he said gravely: "Think carefully, both of you. When the Banana Tree was stolen, we suspected Kunpeng because he had grievances with us and possessed extreme speed in the Primordial World. But what about the Qilin Cliff incident? The Qilin clan has been reclusive for a long time and has no enmity with Kunpeng. Why would he take the enormous risk of moving the entire Qilin Cliff to my Kunlun? What benefit would that bring him?"

Yuqing and Shangqing were stunned. Upon careful consideration, it did seem illogical. Kunpeng was a free wanderer, not the master of a major force. Moving the Qilin clan with such great effort would have little significance for him.

Taiqing continued his analysis, his tone firm: "Moreover, don't you remember the incident in the chaos? The person who secretly aided Kunpeng had mastered space to the point of perfection! To help Kunpeng escape under our noses without leaving a trace, such divine abilities are by no means ordinary!"

"The Banana Tree was stolen, spatial fluctuations were disturbed; Qilin Cliff disappeared, also using spatial means; aiding Kunpeng in the chaos, also with spatial divine abilities. Brothers, this is definitely not a coincidence!"

Yuqing and Shangqing's expressions suddenly sharpened!

"Big Brother, are you saying that all of this was likely done by the same person?"

Taiqing nodded heavily: "Although there is no conclusive evidence, the possibility is extremely high. This person first stole the Banana Tree, framed Kunpeng, and led us to fight with Kunpeng. Then, they took advantage of our absence to move the Qilin Cliff. Their purpose is still unclear, but their methods are mysterious and their strength is by no means inferior to ours! Even..."

Taiqing even suspected that this person might be the mysterious master of Mount Buzhou! But without evidence, he couldn't make a rash judgment.

The Three Pure Ones looked at each other, seeing seriousness and a hint of coldness in each other's eyes. They realized that there was still a terrifying opponent hidden in the Primordial World, lurking in the shadows and repeatedly reaching into their Kunlun Mountain!

"Investigate! We must find this person!" Shangqing clenched his fist, radiating killing intent.

"This matter requires long-term planning; we cannot act rashly again," advised Daoist Taiqing, who had already listed this mysterious spatial Great Power as a target requiring extreme vigilance!

The shadow of Kunlun Mountain being robbed again loomed over the Three Pure Ones. Meanwhile, the true culprit, Di Jiang, was peacefully cultivating the Banana Tree on Mount Buzhou, completely unaware that he had already been listed as the prime suspect by Taiqing.
