Speaking of it, the Three Pure Ones were truly unlucky. As beings transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, they had been born carrying vast Heaven-Opening merit. It could be said that so long as they did not court death themselves, proving the Dao and becoming Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals would not have been impossible!
But what did they do? They actually abandoned Pangu's Great Dao and took Hongjun as their master. Their fortune was stolen by Hongjun, seven or eight parts out of ten, and step by step they later fell into Hongjun's—or rather, the Heavenly Dao's—schemes. Once they became Heavenly Dao Sages, they were bound by the Heavenly Dao. Later, the Three Pure Ones turned against one another, thinning Pangu's fortune even further. In the end, they even allowed Buzhou Mountain to collapse, wiping out Pangu's final influence upon the Primordial World!
They were not even as good as the Wu Race. Though those people had no brains, they had always fought to defend Pangu's name. But what about the Three Pure Ones? They regarded themselves as Pangu's true orthodox lineage, looked down on this one and that one, and ultimately ended up swallowing the Saint-Perishing Pill!
When Great God Pangu transformed into the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestor Witches, perhaps he had intended for them to join hands in protecting the Primordial World! Sadly, Great God Pangu had ultimately miscalculated—these children had been led astray from the moment they were born!
Now, Jiang He did not know whether the Three Pure Ones would still walk down the old path. With Pangu Temple's protection here, he did not dare speak carelessly.
"Many thanks to Senior Grand Pure for your guidance. Since our Human Race was born, information has been scarce. Though members of our race have painstakingly sought it out, it could not compare to even a fraction of Senior Grand Pure's teachings. Senior Grand Pure's grace in imparting the Dao is truly a blessing for the Human Race, and the Human Race shall certainly never forget it!" Jiang He heaped one lofty compliment after another onto Grand Pure, while also trying to steer him toward teaching the Dao so he would stop staring at the Human Race all the time! "The information imparted by Senior shall certainly be compiled into volumes by our Human Race and passed on to all races, so that all races may thank Senior Grand Pure for the grace of teaching the Dao!"
Teaching the Dao to all races!... Teaching the Dao! It was as though a thunderclap had exploded in Grand Pure's mind! He understood!
"Haha, good! This humble Daoist has succeeded!" Grand Pure was incomparably excited at this moment! He soared into the sky, his aura steadily rising, with even traces of Saintly Might mixed within it!
"Heavenly Dao above, I, Grand Pure Laozi, inheriting Pangu's legacy, wish to emulate Hongjun Dao Ancestor and bring Enlightenment to all races of the Primordial World, spreading the Great Dao! Today, I establish a sect—the Dao Sect. Arise!"
Grand Pure Laozi finished his oath to the heavens!
The sky immediately responded. Vast violet qi stretched for thirty thousand li, golden flowers rained down in wild profusion, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth. Every living being touched by these phenomena received information about the heavens and earth of the Primordial World in their minds, as though it were a bloodline inheritance!
Immediately afterward, Grand Pure raised the Taiji Diagram. "I shall be the leader of the Dao Sect. Through the Dao Sect's teachings, I shall open the spiritual wisdom of the Primordial World. I shall use the supreme-grade innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to suppress its fortune. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
The Taiji Diagram spun in the air, its black-and-white yin-yang fish revolving as it began to absorb the descending merit. At the same time, it spread the Dao Sect's principles to all living beings of the Primordial World!
Rumble! The sky seemed to change for an instant, only for it to swiftly vanish again!
At this time, heaven and earth also seemed to respond. Unnoticed by everyone, Buzhou Mountain appeared to tremble ever so slightly. Grand Pure Laozi's expression seemed to shift slightly at that moment, but he quickly recovered!
All the remaining merit was drawn into Grand Pure's body, seemingly stirring the Heaven-Opening merit within him. His Cultivation Level soared all the way to the third heaven of the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, equal to Empress Nuwa's current level!
Uh! It seemed that Grand Pure Laozi had not used Primordial Violet Qi either! Jiang He stared blankly at Grand Pure, who had ascended to Sagehood in one smooth rush!
It was chaos—utter chaos! The Human Sect was gone, while the Dao Sect had emerged ahead of time instead!
At this moment, the entire Primordial World was oppressed by the aura of Grand Pure's ascension to Sagehood. All beings prostrated themselves in worship, congratulating Grand Pure on becoming a Sage!
Now that he had become a Sage, Grand Pure understood himself clearly and naturally knew that his mission was Enlightenment. The Three Pure Ones were one body, and the paths before all three of them were now clear to him!
With a sweep of Grand Pure's hand, golden rain fell across the entire Primordial World! Any who touched it either saw their Cultivation Levels soar or had their spiritual wisdom awakened, transforming into form. Yet in the minds of all living beings, they received inheritances concerning the Primordial World—an all-encompassing tapestry containing everything beneath the heavens. At this instant, it was as though Grand Pure was the true teacher of the entire Primordial World.
Jiang He naturally received Grand Pure's inheritance as well. Th-this... Grand Pure and the Dao Ancestor are not going to come to blows in the future, are they? It has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me! Jiang He was so frightened that he only wanted to flee to Wa Huang Tian for refuge!
Primordial World, Eastern Kunlun Mountain
Jade Pure Yuanshi and Upper Pure Tongtian also received Grand Pure's message at this moment. They instantly understood themselves, stepped out of their caves, and flew into the air. "Heavenly Dao above, I am Jade Pure Yuanshi. Inheriting Pangu's legacy, so that all living beings may understand the principles of heaven and uphold order, today I establish the Sect of Elucidation to bring Enlightenment to all beings. I use the innate supreme treasure, the Pangu Banner, to suppress its fortune. All those with affinity may enter beneath my gate."
"Heavenly Dao above, I, Upper Pure Tongtian, inherit Pangu's legacy and am willing to bring Enlightenment to all living beings. Today, I establish the Jie Sect, to carve out a thread of survival for all beings. I use the innate supreme treasure, the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, to suppress its fortune. My teachings make no distinctions; whether born innate or transformed after birth, so long as one holds a heart seeking the Dao, one may enter beneath my gate."
As soon as the two finished their oaths, massive clouds of Merit Golden Light split into two, separately entering their bodies and spiritual treasures!
The living beings of the Primordial World once again felt the pressure of Sages and once again prostrated themselves in worship. Is this ever going to end? What day is it today? Three Sages in a single day!

Yet what no one knew was that, whether intentionally or not, none of the Three Pure Ones had used Primordial Violet Qi to attain the Dao.
And at this moment, the Heavenly Dao also seemed to realize something was wrong. How had they become Sages without it sensing them at all? It seemed exactly the same as when Nuwa had become a Sage—they had not used Primordial Violet Qi either!
A massive vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. An enormous single eye emerged within it, surrounded by crackling lightning as though expressing its fury.
The three of Grand Pure instantly gathered together, their eyes filled with astonishment. "The Heavenly Dao seems to have emotions." The Heavenly Dao should have been utterly impartial; it absolutely should not have emotional fluctuations. Could this be the consequence of Hongjun Dao Ancestor merging with the Dao? The three exchanged glances and became vigilant!
Just then, a figure in palace robes appeared beside them. It was Empress Nuwa, who had attained Sagehood ahead of them. Because Nuwa had become a Sage early, she had also sensed the Heavenly Dao's faint hostility over the years. If Hongjun Dao Ancestor's merging with the Dao had given the Heavenly Dao emotions, then what had become of Hongjun Dao Ancestor? Everyone seemed to recall Hongjun Dao Ancestor's final words: the Heavenly Dao was Hongjun, but Hongjun was not the Heavenly Dao!
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao had seized Hongjun's body? The Heavenly Dao had become Hongjun, while Hongjun himself had vanished—then of course it was not the Heavenly Dao!
A monstrous conspiracy unfolded before the four Sages!
At this moment, the Heaven-Opening merit within the Three Pure Ones seemed to stir Pangu's will, making Buzhou Mountain tremble slightly, as though some great terror was about to emerge!
The Human Race's fortune within Empress Nuwa also sensed danger, causing it to churn violently. Meanwhile, the Human Race's fortune gathered within Jiang He below, and the Human Dao seemed poised to emerge ahead of time!
Just then, the Wu Race brothers sent over a grand gift!
"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, I, Di Jiang of the Wu Race, command the Laws of Space and Speed. Today, to complete the laws of the Primordial World, I shall become the God of Space and Speed, bringing blessings to the Primordial World!
"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, I, Ju Mang, command the Law of Wood. To complete the laws of the Primordial World, I shall become the God of Vegetation, bringing blessings to the Primordial World!"
"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, I, Ru Shou, command the Law of Gold. To complete the laws of the Primordial World, I shall become the God of Metal, bringing blessings to the Primordial World!"
"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, I, Gong Gong, command the Law of Water... I shall become the Water God, bringing blessings to the Primordial World!"
"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, I, Zhu Rong, command the Law of Fire... I shall become the God of Fire, bringing blessings to the Primordial World!"
"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, I, Hou Tu, command the Law of Earth. To complete the laws of the Primordial World, I shall become the Earth God!"
"...I, Tian Wu, command the Law of Wind... I shall become the God of Wind!"
"...I, Xuan Ming, command the Law of Rain... I shall become the God of Rainwater!"
"...I, Qiang Liang, command the Law of Thunder... I shall become the God of Thunder!
"...I, Xi Zi, command the Law of Lightning... I shall become the God of Lightning!
"I, Zhu Jiu Yin, command the Law of Time... I shall become the God of Time!"
"I am She Bi Shi... Law of Weather... I shall bring blessings to the Primordial World as the Weather God!"
This string of declarations utterly stunned the entire Primordial World—and thoroughly shocked Jiang He. "No way! Has the Wu Race gotten this clever now?" It wasn't me, really, it wasn't my doing! Everything was in chaos—fucking complete chaos!
At this moment, even the Heavenly Dao was probably knocked senseless by that string of declarations. It seemed they had skipped something, hadn't they? Right, damn it—why hadn't they sought my, the Heavenly Dao's, approval? They went straight to the Great Dao and Pangu. Just how much do you look down on me?!
The giant eye in the sky seemed to have been enraged. The entire Primordial World appeared to plunge into darkness in an instant, bolts of lightning streaking across the night sky as though brewing a devastating attack! Then, yet yet yet yet again, something unexpected happened!
A streak of golden light cleaved through the darkness from the chaos, and an utterly emotionless heavenly voice rang out: "Granted!"
As the golden light faded, the Heavenly Dao Giant Eye and the night retreated at the same time. Yet as the Eye of the Heavenly Dao withdrew, the saints seemed to see black smoke rising from that eyeball!
