The Four Pure Ones and Xuan Qing

Di Jun and Tai Yi were startled when they discovered an extra Golden Crow egg beside them.

What is this?

How did an egg suddenly appear?

And the aura emanating from it was clearly that of a Three-legged Golden Crow, originating from the same source as his own!

Di Jun quickly consulted his Survival System, and the system's reply was that the Great Desolation's origin was powerful, having birthed a third Golden Crow.

Tai Yi's system gave a similar answer, with one addition: It must be a scheme by the Heavenly Dao!

Tai Yi gasped upon hearing this.

Was he targeted by the Heavenly Dao the moment he transmigrated?

Could this third Golden Crow be the Heavenly Dao's arrangement to replace me!

Di Jun had no particular opinion on Qin Yuan's appearance; it was merely like having an extra younger brother.

Taking care of one is survival, what's the difference in taking care of two?

I don't believe that if I just stay put and hide, the Ancestor Witches will come knocking on my door!

Qin Yuan, naturally, was unaware of Di Jun and Tai Yi's thoughts. He was simply rubbing against their eggshells.

Of course, Qin Yuan was not a Golden Crow himself.

He merely felt that by building a good relationship with his two elder brothers in advance, he would have their support in dealing with the Ancestor Witches later on.

Zhang Hao, seeing the three Golden Crows on the Solar Star, felt his head spin.

If only Di Jun and Tai Yi had transmigrated, it would have been somewhat acceptable, but what was this third, extra Golden Crow!

Ah, whatever. The Great Desolation doesn't lack transmigrators anyway, so one more won't hurt.

At worst, I'll let Hongjun take the blame. In the eyes of transmigrators, I, the Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation, am just an idiot.

Zhang Hao's gaze then shifted to another location.

Buzhou Mountain.

Several Yuan Hui had passed since the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. It was a time when the Three Clans were in decline, and powerful beings of the Great Desolation were emerging frequently.

An old man, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a youth walked together.

They were the Three Pure Ones and... the fourth pure one of the Great Desolation, Li Shou.

As a transmigrator, his system had been destroyed by Pangu when it tried to invade Pangu's primordial spirit. However, it had successfully arranged for him the identity of the fourth pure one of the Great Desolation.

Without a system, Li Shou knew that his only support in the Great Desolation would be his three brothers, who were destined to become saints.

His suggestion brought them to Buzhou Mountain this time.

According to his knowledge, the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus was about to appear.

As expected, a beam of divine light erupted from a canyon in Buzhou Mountain.

The four exchanged glances and then hurried towards the canyon.

It was a green lotus, twenty-four grades, surrounded by Innate Undying Spiritual Light – the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus.

The Three Pure Ones sensed that the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus was comparable in rank to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Even if it were divided into three, its quality would not drop below a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Laozi reached out and drew forth a lotus flower, obtaining the Coiling Dragon Crutch.

Yuanshi followed closely, drawing the lotus root and transforming it into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Tongtian received the Qingping Sword, formed from the lotus leaves.

As for Li Shou, he received nothing.

"Fourth brother, why don't you take my Coiling Dragon Crutch?"

"I have the Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure Mystic Yellow Pagoda for protection, so I don't lack for magical treasures. Your cultivation is the lowest, so you should have more treasures to protect yourself."

Laozi felt a pang of sympathy seeing Li Shou's empty hands.

Yuanshi and Tongtian felt the same as Laozi. They were one with the Four Pure Ones and could not neglect any of them.

Li Shou felt the concern of his three elder brothers, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

This was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and his eldest brother was offering to give it away so readily.

Before transmigrating, he was an orphan. He never expected to feel a sense of family in the Great Desolation now. No matter what happened in the future, he would be the brother of the Three Pure Ones!

Li Shou understood Laozi's good intentions. If he refused, it might create a rift between them.

Moreover, they were one with the Four Pure Ones; it didn't matter who held the magical treasure.

So, he agreed to Laozi's suggestion.

However, just as he was about to grasp the Coiling Dragon Crutch, an anomaly occurred.

A sharp sword energy sliced through the void, striking Li Shou's wrist. The Coiling Dragon Crutch was then snatched away by someone from a distance.

The Three Pure Ones rushed to check Li Shou's injuries.

Fortunately, this attack only had the power of an early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so it couldn't damage Li Shou's foundation.

"Who?!"

The Three Pure Ones shielded Li Shou behind them. Their Grand Unity Golden Immortal divine senses swept through the surroundings, quickly discovering the figure hiding in the shadows.

It was a young man wearing a green robe, currently clutching the Coiling Dragon Crutch and weeping loudly.

"Wife! My wife! Ahhhhhh!"

The Four Pure Ones: ???

Laozi and the other three didn't know what was happening, seeing the other party cry so sadly.

Moreover, the scene was too bizarre.

This Grand Unity Golden Immortal was hugging a magic treasure and calling it "wife"...

The young man's name was Xuan Qing, and he was a transformed lotus seed from the Thirty-Six-Grade Creation Green Lotus.

At the same time, he was also a Transmigrator.

After transmigrating to the Great Desolation, the entity that had accompanied him all along was the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus.

The only one he could talk to was it, and over time, he developed a unique affection for the Creation Green Lotus.

His plan was to live in seclusion in the mountains with the Creation Green Lotus after it took human form.

But he never expected...

"System, do you have a way to revive my wife?"

Xuan Qing turned to his Devouring System for help; it was his last hope.

"Host can restore the Creation Green Lotus by continuously devouring the Great Desolation's origin. Once enough points are accumulated, it can be restored."

The Devouring System was completely stunned.

Why was this host such a love-struck fool... Even if that were the case, this Creation Green Lotus didn't even have self-awareness!

How vulgar!

Xuan Qing's eyes flashed with killing intent upon hearing this, and he then looked at the Four Pure Ones, who were staring blankly.

"The hatred of my wife's death is irreconcilable. I, Xuan Qing, will remember this today!"

With that, he intended to flee with the Coiling Dragon Crutch.

He wasn't an idiot; the Four Pure Ones were all Grand Unity cultivators. Going up against them alone would be suicidal.

"Where do you think you're going!" Tongtian's expression turned cold, and he attacked directly.

The Qingping Sword slashed directly at the fleeing Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing had been slacking off all these years, or else he was "dating" the Creation Green Lotus, so he hadn't cultivated much and hadn't completed many system tasks.

Seeing Sect Master Tongtian attack, he had no choice but to take out his accompanying spiritual treasure, the Green Lotus Sword, to resist.

However, his accompanying spiritual treasure was only of top-grade quality, and coupled with his cultivation level, which was inferior to Tongtian's mid-stage Grand Unity cultivation, this blow severely injured him.

Tongtian took the Coiling Dragon Crutch from his hand and returned to Laozi's side.

Xuan Qing snorted coldly, then fled Buzhou Mountain with his severely wounded body.

You all just wait for me!

I will return one day!

The Four Pure Ones watched Xuan Qing's retreating figure without stopping him. Instead, they turned their attention to Li Shou's injuries.

"Fourth Brother, are you alright?" Yuanshi asked with concern.

Li Shou shook his head, "I'm fine, elder brothers don't need to worry."

Seeing Li Shou say this, the Three Pure Ones finally felt at ease.

Then, just as Li Shou was about to take the Coiling Dragon Crutch, another attack landed on him.

"Pfft—" Li Shou spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, I don't want this Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure anymore, can I?!

He looked back and saw that the Twelve Ancestor Witches had arrived at this place at some unknown time. Their auras erupted, and each of them was a Grand Unity Perfection cultivator.
