"A secret art for condensing Primordial Violet Qi?"

The golden lamps and jeweled tassels within Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist's Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit flickered, and his expression abruptly changed.

Exchanging glances with Grand Pure Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, all three saw unconcealed disbelief flash through each other's eyes.

The Three Pure Daoists possessed the inheritance of the path to Hunyuan left behind by Great God Pangu. Naturally, they understood what a secret art for condensing Primordial Violet Qi meant.

Upon reaching the realm of a Great Divine Ability User, one had to cross three heavenly chasms to prove the Dao and become a Hunyuan Saint, gaining the foundation needed to pluck the Primordial Dao Fruit.

The first heavenly chasm was comprehending a Great Dao of the Hunyuan level—the root of the Great Dao.

The second heavenly chasm was cultivating the state of Hunyuan, forging a boundless Dao body to bear the weight of laws, cultivating the immortal platform and Dao heart, and controlling every finest thread of the Great Dao.

The third heavenly chasm was condensing Primordial Violet Qi. This was the firewood and provisions needed to knock open the gate to the Primordial Saint Realm.

By condensing one complete strand of Primordial Violet Qi, one could strike at the Primordial Dao Fruit. It was also known as the opportunity to prove the Dao.

Yet Primordial Violet Qi was exceptionally precious. Those without Great Destiny, Great Wisdom, and Great Perseverance could scarcely refine it.

Within this Primordial World, perhaps only the direct lineages of the Three Sovereigns, Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, and the immortal and demon lineages—these great traditions—possessed methods to condense Primordial Violet Qi.

However, after the Divine Demon Dao Era returned to the abyss and the gods entered twilight, the direct lineage of the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Emperor had long since scattered into the Great Desolation World.

As for Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, the Three Pure Daoists possessed a cultivation method for the path to Hunyuan, and Great God Pangu had also left each of them a strand of Primordial Violet Qi.

Only the secret art for condensing Primordial Violet Qi, for reasons unknown, had merely been mentioned in passing twice within the Hunyuan inheritance left by Great God Pangu before it came to an eerie, abrupt end.

After the Three Pure Daoists manifested and were born, attaining the realm of Great Divine Ability Users, they had also searched the Primordial World for secret arts to condense Primordial Violet Qi.

But whether they had been left behind by Pangu or the Three Sovereigns, or belonged to the immortal and demon lineages, every secret art for condensing Primordial Violet Qi in their possession seemed to have been deliberately erased!

Sanqing Palace.

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist studied Lu Yuan before him, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.

His disciple cared for his master's sect, even thinking to offer his elders a secret art for condensing Primordial Violet Qi. How could he not be pleased?

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist slightly smiled and said with feeling, "Qingxuanzi, the destiny surrounding you is likely no less than that of a Great Divine Ability User. You actually managed to find even the secret art by which Earth Emperor Yuejian condensed Primordial Violet Qi!"

"Comparable to a Great Divine Ability User? Third Brother, I'd say Qingxuanzi's opportunities and destiny surpass even those of the foremost Great Divine Ability Users. The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Tree of Life; the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Profound Yellow World-Generating Bead; and this secret art left behind by Earth Emperor Yuejian for condensing Primordial Violet Qi... Third Brother, tell me—which Great Divine Ability User could compare to Qingxuanzi in opportunities and destiny?" Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist, Beside Him, looked at Lu Yuan with a beaming smile, ripples stirring uncontrollably in his heart.

A fine jade like Qingxuanzi, outstanding in origins and talent while respecting his master and valuing the Dao—at That Moment, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist felt an urge to take him under his wing and painstakingly instruct him.

But when he recalled that Qingxuanzi had already entered Shangqing Tongtian Daoist's sect, he could only sigh helplessly to himself.

The two were master and disciple bound by Heaven itself. He could hardly dig out his own third brother's cornerstone, could he?

Though his heart had been moved, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist, who believed in expounding Heaven and answering the Dao, had not lost his reason!

Grand Pure Daoist, who had remained silent all along, had a glimmer of approval in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yuan. "Qingxuanzi, by offering this secret art of Earth Emperor Yuejian for refining Primordial Violet Qi, you have created a karmic debt owed to you by the three of us brothers.

"This is karma concerning the attainment of the Dao. In the future, I will act on your behalf three times. After those three times, the karma will be completely extinguished."

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist, Beside Him, nodded slightly in agreement. "The same goes for your Second Martial Uncle..."

As for Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, he merely smiled faintly and said nothing. There was no talk of karma between master and disciple.

For his direct disciple, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist would certainly offer his wholehearted aid so long as he was able.

"Thank you, Eldest Martial Uncle. Thank you, Second Martial Uncle!"

A flash of delight passed through Lu Yuan's eyes. He clasped his hands, bowed deeply, then took out the three prepared purple jade slips and handed them to the Three Pure Daoists.

"Eldest Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, Master—these are the secret arts for condensing Primordial Violet Qi left behind by Earth Emperor Yuejian..."

After receiving the purple jade slips, the Three Pure Daoists inspected the secret art while carefully deducing it within their Primordial Spirits.

Within the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruits of the three, a trace of profound yellow earth-color flickered. After merging with Profound Yellow Merit and Heavenly Dao destiny, a wisp of violet qi began to gather.

"Not bad. It truly is the secret art left by Earth Emperor Yuejian. The Great Dao of Earth within it is wondrous beyond measure..."

Once he had examined the secret art, a gleam flashed through Grand Pure Daoist's eyes. He then looked at Lu Yuan. "Qingxuanzi, this secret art for refining Primordial Violet Qi left by Yuejian takes the Great Dao of Earth as its core.

"For an Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor, it could not be more fitting. The Great Dao of Earth merges with destiny and merit, making the refining of Primordial Violet Qi complement each other perfectly!

"But for people such as ourselves, we must replace Yuejian's Great Dao of Earth with the Great Dao we ourselves cultivate. Otherwise, Not Only will the efficiency of condensing Primordial Violet Qi be extremely low, even the Primordial Violet Qi condensed will be impure."

"Thank you for Eldest Martial Uncle's guidance!"

Lu Yuan clasped Both Hands and bowed to Grand Pure Daoist in A Bow.

Had Grand Pure Daoist not pointed this out, Lu Yuan truly would not have known of the hidden catch. If he simply copied Earth Emperor Yuejian's secret art to condense Primordial Violet Qi, the differing Great Daos would make the process terribly inefficient, requiring an enormous expenditure of merit and destiny.

Moreover, if the Primordial Violet Qi were impure, it might conflict with the Great Dao he cultivated. The moment he tried to knock open the gate to the Primordial Saint Realm would be the moment he perished beneath the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation.

After putting away the purple jade slips offered by Lu Yuan, the Three Pure Daoists Performed a secret art to sever heavenly secrets. Using Pangu's power to muddle the River of Destiny and erase all traces, they returned to the present manifestation of the Heavenly Dao.

At that moment, invisibly, the Heavenly Dao Trend of the future Primordial World shifted by a trace, and a faint ripple Appeared upon the River of Destiny.

Purple Firmament Palace beyond the heavens.

The Jade Disk of Creation flickered in and out of view behind Dao Ancestor Hongjun's head. Seated cross-legged upon a Cloud Bed, he used this Heavenly Dao supreme treasure to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, evolve Three Thousand Great Daos, and seek a Merger with Dao with the Primordial World.

Within the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit above his head seemed to be an illusory Primordial World: a Daoist seated high in Purple Firmament Palace, Three Thousand Purple Firmament guests beneath his gate, the Mysterious Gate Immortal Dao ruling the heavens...

Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun halted his movements. He looked toward the River of Heavenly Dao, as though he had sensed the slightest deviation in the Heavenly Dao Trend of the future Primordial World.

Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun used the Jade Disk of Creation to link with the Heavenly Dao and was about to seize that trace of deviation in the Heavenly Dao Trend, the World Origin of the Primordial World trembled, the River of Heavenly Dao shook, and that trace of deviation vanished into the future.

Within Purple Firmament Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun frowned slightly and cast a somewhat displeased glance at the Primordial World.

A voice resounded throughout the Primordial World, in no way inferior to the spectacle of the Yao Race Heavenly Court's founding.

"Great Dao above, we are Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Houtu, Zhurong, Gonggong, Ju Mang...

Today, we offer sacrifice to Pangu Father God and establish the Witch Race lineage. With the 'Ancestral Witch Hall' of Buzhou Mountain to suppress our fortune, our Witch Race is Pangu's Orthodox Lineage and shall govern the lands of the Primordial World! Let the Witch Race be established!"
