Task Complete, Chaos Spiritual Treasure

The first method is to use a magical treasure that can eliminate karma.

Xuanyuan happened to have one.

It was a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus.

It was a reward from the System when he first signed in.

As the most mysterious of the four Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms in the Primordial World, the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus was born with the law of purification, capable of purifying everything. It could be called the nemesis of all negative forces.

Naturally, this included eliminating karma.

Furthermore, using the Pure World White Lotus to eliminate karma required no consumption or expenditure.

However, it had a drawback: it took too long.

After all, the main function of the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus was purification, unlike the Twelve-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, which focused on eliminating karma.

Given the terrifying red karma entwining the three of them, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to eliminate it bit by bit using the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus.

Ten thousand years was not a long time in the Primordial World.

Many powerful beings spent tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years in seclusion for a single cultivation session.

But Xuanyuan couldn't wait that long.

There were less than four hundred years until Hongjun's second sermon.

Unless he gave up on the mission, he had to find another way.

Coincidentally, Xuanyuan knew of a second method to eliminate karma.

That method was to use merit!

Merit was like a universal panacea in the Primordial World.

It had too many uses: improving cultivation, roots, luck, opportunities, strengthening magical treasures, spiritual roots, and so on.

Naturally, this included eliminating karma.

Merit was simply too important for beings in the Primordial World.

Unfortunately, merit was extremely difficult to obtain.

No one was willing to part with precious merit to help others eliminate karma.

Of course, this did not include Xuanyuan.

During his million-year sign-in, the System had directly rewarded him with ten billion Great Dao Merit.

He had already used 1.3 billion Great Dao Merit to help the Twelve Ancestor Witches and Jiu Feng repair their primordial spirits.

Xuanyuan still had 8.7 billion Great Dao Merit remaining.

He made a rough calculation: eliminating the karma of Kong Xuan, Dapeng, and Sihuxiang would only require three million Great Dao Merit.

With a thought, Xuanyuan's Great Dao Merit disk appeared. He split off three portions, each containing one million Great Dao Merit.

"Go!"

The three portions of Great Dao Merit flew into Qianyuan Palace and entered Kong Xuan, Dapeng, and Sihuxiang.

As the Great Dao Merit entered their bodies, the three of them trembled. The red karma that had been entwining them quickly dissipated.

"Break!"

The moment the red karma dissipated, the three of them felt a surge of energy. The bottleneck that had plagued them for hundreds of years, preventing them from breaking through, vanished instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Kong Xuan, Dapeng, and Sihuxiang all advanced to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Five Energies Returning to the Origin.

All three bloomed eight petals, becoming Sons of Destiny.

A smile appeared on Xuanyuan's face, and he was in an excellent mood.

"Not bad, eight petals. Their talent rivals that of Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, and others. They have the potential to become Saints."

"Ding, Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, and Sihuxiang have all advanced to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm. Congratulations to the host for completing the mission."

"Reward the host with ten thousand years of cultivation, one billion Great Dao Merit, and any Innate Spiritual Treasure can be upgraded to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

"Please select the spiritual treasure to be upgraded!"

A series of system prompts sounded in Xuanyuan's mind.

The Great Dao Merit disk behind Xuanyuan visibly grew larger, and the golden light it emitted became even more brilliant.

At the same time, his cultivation rapidly increased.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Not long after, Xuanyuan broke through again, reaching the Grand Perfection of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

The ten thousand years of cultivation rewarded by the System had only been about half consumed.

The remaining five thousand years of cultivation were enough for him to advance to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

That is to say, the Quasi-Saint realm.

At a critical moment, Xuanyuan stopped and did not continue his breakthrough.

He had his own plans and strategies.

Since returning to Qianyuan Mountain, over two to three thousand years, Xuanyuan had not actively cultivated, but he had been contemplating the path he would take in the future.

To break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, then comprehend the power of laws, and prove Dao as a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, achieving the status of a Saint who proved Dao by Law.

This path was indeed very strong.

When fighting opponents of the same level, one would be much more powerful than a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Just like Old Ancestor Yang Mei, he proved Dao by Law later than Hongjun, but his strength was greater than Hongjun's.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao's intervention, and Old Ancestor Yang Mei was banished to the Chaos Void, unable to set foot in the Primordial World.

Hongjun would not have been able to dominate alone; he would have been taught a lesson by Old Ancestor Yang Mei long ago.

After all, during the Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun not only ambushed Old Ancestor Yin-Yang and Old Ancestor Qiankun, but even Old Ancestor Yang Mei almost fell into his trap, ending up dead and his Dao destroyed.

The two sides had long since harbored enmity, an irreconcilable one!

The Primordial World, under the intervention of the Heavenly Dao, could not accommodate those who proved Dao by Law.

From the moment Old Ancestor Yang Mei embarked on the path of proving Dao by Law, he was destined to be rejected by the Heavenly Dao, and could not even openly enter the Primordial World.

Of course, Xuanyuan had no such concerns.

He was an Ancestor Witch born from Pangu's essence blood, bearing the merit of Pangu's Creation, and possessing a massive amount of Great Dao Merit.

Even the Heavenly Dao would not dare to act against him.

The reason Xuanyuan did not choose the path of simply proving Dao by Law was that he had a greater plan.

He intended to first go to Zixiao Palace, wait for Hongjun's second sermon, learn the method of severing three corpses, and then use the three severed corpses to walk the path of proving Dao by Law respectively.

He could even use one of the avatars to walk the path of proving Dao by Force.

Combining the strengths of all three!

Once he broke through to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Heavenly Dao Saints like Sanqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti would not be his match. In time, even Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao would be unable to do anything to him.

This was Xuanyuan's plan.

It could be said to be extremely ambitious.

It was only because he had the System's assistance that he dared to make such a plan.

If it were anyone else, even if they knew of this path, they would not dare to try it easily, let alone succeed.

This was because the method of severing three corpses required severing the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self-corpse, which was equivalent to splitting the primordial spirit into four.

If the primordial spirit was incomplete, one would be unable to cultivate the laws and the Great Dao to their peak, thus failing to break through to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Just like the Twelve Ancestor Witches before, their primordial spirits were incomplete, and they were destined to be unable to become Saints.

It was only Xuanyuan, who possessed a massive amount of Great Dao Merit, that after severing his corpses, he could use the Great Dao Merit to repair his primordial spirit.

This allowed him to dare to tread such a unique and perilous path.

"Please host select the spiritual treasure to be upgraded!"

The System's prompt sounded again in Xuanyuan's mind.

Xuanyuan was prepared for this.

When the System first issued the quest, it was precisely because Xuanyuan saw this reward that he had the idea of taking Six-Eared Macaque and Kong Xuan as his disciples.

He directly took out the Qiankun Cauldron he had obtained from Hongjun and said with a light laugh, "I choose the Qiankun Cauldron!"

"Ding, host has selected the Qiankun Cauldron, upgrading process begins!"

"Ding, upgrade complete, congratulations to the host, the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Qiankun Cauldron has been upgraded to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure - Chaos Cauldron!"

"Chaos Cauldron, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure. When Pangu created the heavens and earth, it could not withstand the power of creation and split into two, differentiating into the Qiankun Cauldron and the Creation Cauldron. This cauldron contains endless Chaos Qi, capable of returning to the origin, increasing the quantity and level of items within the cauldron, with the highest level of upgrade being to the Supreme Grade Innate Supreme Treasure. It also possesses the heaven-defying function of returning the acquired to the innate, capable of both refining artifacts and alchemy."
