In just a short while, Ye Jun had absorbed all the merit from the enormous cloud of merit.
After stretching, Ye Jun felt thoroughly refreshed.
This merit reward really is wonderful. If I get the chance, I should find more opportunities that can grant merit. Ye Jun couldn't help thinking.
The merit reward was truly exhilarating.
When Ye Jun looked over at Fuxi and Nuwa, they were still wearing envious expressions.
What kind of fortune was this? He'd only just broken through to Quasi-Saint, and already he had the blessing of such immense merit.
How enviable!
"Fellow Daoists, why are you staring at me like that?" Ye Jun asked with a wry smile.
If Nuwa was looking at him, that was one thing. It was hardly strange for a beautiful woman to look at him.
But Fuxi was a grown man, staring at him so eagerly that Ye Jun couldn't help feeling a chill.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Jun, we've already resolved the matter of music, but my sister and I are still completely at a loss about Severing Three Corpses to break through to Quasi-Saint," Fuxi said, gazing at him expectantly.
Nuwa nodded repeatedly. They had been trying to figure out how to become Quasi-Saints ever since the Gourd Vine appeared.
Even after Ye Jun's breakthrough and the Gourd Vine's maturation, they still hadn't found a way.
Ye Jun nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, fellow Daoist, you cultivate the Dao of Taiji and Yin-Yang, correct?"
Fuxi was immediately delighted. He had never told Ye Jun what Dao he cultivated.
"Fellow Daoist, you truly are remarkable!" Fuxi exclaimed.
"In that case, listen carefully. Taiji and Yin-Yang give rise to all things..." Ye Jun sat cross-legged and began to expound the Dao, his words flowing without pause.
Fuxi, who had been utterly clueless about how to break through to Quasi-Saint, suddenly saw the light and entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
Seeing Dao Rhymes circulate around Fuxi, who seemed on the verge of a breakthrough, Ye Jun nodded faintly.
Fuxi had found the threshold to becoming a Quasi-Saint. Now, all he needed was time!
Nuwa was overjoyed to see her brother take that crucial step.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Jun, would you please guide me in breaking through to Quasi-Saint?" Nuwa asked resolutely.
Ye Jun glanced at Nuwa and nodded. "You possess the Dao of Creation. Once you master it, breaking through to Quasi-Saint will pose no difficulty."
Nuwa was startled. Ye Jun had seen through her Dao of Creation at a glance, but then she understood.
He had also immediately recognized Fuxi's Dao of Taiji and Yin-Yang.
"I do indeed cultivate the Dao of Creation. Do you have any advice for me?" Nuwa asked eagerly.
Ye Jun began to explain. "The Dao of Creation is bringing something into existence from nothing, with the creation of all things as its essence..."
As Ye Jun continued to preach the Dao, thousands of years passed in the Primordial World.
Ye Jun sat cross-legged as Fuxi and Nuwa entered states of enlightenment one after the other.
For the time being, Ye Jun could only stay at Fuxi and Nuwa's residence.
Kunlun Mountain!
Ever since the struggle over the Gourd Vine at Buzhou Mountain, the Three Pure Ones had suffered a great deal.
As soon as they returned, they all devoted themselves to cultivation, determined not to leave Kunlun Mountain until they became Quasi-Saints.
Otherwise, if they ran into Ye Jun again, wouldn't they once more be at his mercy?
Their cultivation over these thousands of years had brought them to the final crucial step in Severing Three Corpses.
On this day, two golden beams suddenly shot into the sky. The constellations above answered them, radiant clouds shimmered, and Dragon and Phoenix cries rang out around them.
Someone had broken through to Quasi-Saint!
The Three Pure Ones appeared atop Kunlun Mountain and watched the two golden beams gradually fade in the direction of Buzhou Mountain, their expressions grave.
"Given the direction, it can only be Fuxi and Nuwa," Taishang Laojun said solemnly.
"How is that possible? Though Fuxi and Nuwa are at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, they should still have a long way to go before breaking through to Quasi-Saint," Yuanshi Tianzun said, puzzled.
The last time they were at Buzhou Mountain, the Three Pure Ones had already faintly sensed the opportunity to break through.
And yet, even after thousands of years, they still hadn't succeeded in Severing Three Corpses and becoming Quasi-Saints. How had Fuxi and Nuwa managed to surpass them?
"If I remember correctly, Fuxi and Nuwa were still there when we left Buzhou Mountain," Tongtian said slowly.
"Oh? Third Brother, are you saying that Monkey Ye Jun helped them break through to Quasi-Saint?" Taishang Laojun asked gravely.
"That's the only possibility. Ye Jun can even guide others through a Quasi-Saint breakthrough!" Yuanshi Tianzun said solemnly.
As Pangu Orthodox, the Three Pure Ones should have been the first to break through to Quasi-Saint.
Yet Fuxi and Nuwa had stolen the lead!
Damn it!
Buzhou Mountain!
The two golden beams had faded. Fuxi and Nuwa opened their eyes and felt the Spiritual Energy within them.
Having just broken through to Quasi-Saint, Fuxi and Nuwa were now surrounded by the power of Dao Rhymes, and a formidable aura filled their residence.
Fuxi took a deep breath and clasped his hands. "I owe my breakthrough today to your guidance, fellow Daoist."
Nuwa also cupped her hands and thanked Ye Jun for his guidance. Without it, they would have needed to spend far more time and effort to break through to Quasi-Saint.
Ye Jun waved his hand. "It's nothing. This was the opportunity of you two fellow Daoists. Without it, I couldn't have helped."
He was telling the truth. Fuxi and Nuwa had already been just one step away.
All he had done was point out that final step.
The three of them chatted at the residence for a while longer before Ye Jun finally took his leave.
"Do you have some urgent matter to attend to, fellow Daoist? Could the two of us help?" Fuxi asked.
"No need. I don't have anything pressing to do. I just plan to travel around the Primordial World and see more of it," Ye Jun replied calmly.
Fuxi and Nuwa nodded and didn't try to stop him. Ye Jun immediately turned into a streak of light and left Buzhou Mountain.
There were countless Blessed Lands in the Primordial World, and Ye Jun hoped to find a place of his own to settle down during his travels.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be rather shabby? The trouble was, every Blessed Land was either already occupied or fraught with danger.
Ye Jun could only sigh and take things one step at a time.
He happened upon a mountain. Spiritual Energy flowed abundantly around it, and black-and-white Yin-Yang energies swirled through the air, forming a clear division like a chessboard.
"So this is Wuji Mountain! No wonder Yin-Yang energies are present here," Ye Jun murmured.
Then he remembered that Wuji Mountain had once been the home and cultivation grounds of Yin-Yang Ancestor. But Yin-Yang Ancestor had died after Dao Ancestor Hongjun schemed against him during the campaign to subdue Demon Ancestor Luohou.
Didn't that mean Wuji Mountain was unclaimed?
