Three Flowers? Three Gu

Donghua pondered, unable to understand.

The treasure bead on the Dragon Head Golden Staff was itself a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and the golden light it emitted ignored all defenses, directly attacking the Primordial Spirit.

One had to know that the Dragon Head Golden Staff was a Spiritual Treasure of Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, from the ancient era. The stronger its Destiny and Fortune, the stronger the golden dragon's power.

Back then, during the decisive battle between Immortals and Demons, Hongjun had used the Dragon Head Golden Staff to strike Luohu three times before using the Pangu Banner to break Luohu's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

Later, it was bestowed upon Donghua to suppress his Destiny and Fortune.

Before Donghua could even react in shock, the white Gu worm lunged directly at him.

Donghua hastily retreated, unleashing waves of sword energy with his Pure Yang Sword. However, this sword energy, capable of cleaving through the void, inflicted no actual damage on the white Gu worm.

Donghua tried various attacks while being pursued by the Gu worm, flying through the heavens and burrowing into the earth.

He was truly in a sorry state.

King Pan laughed heartily upon seeing this and declared, "Little Donghua, let me show you the might of my Three Lives Gu."

Donghua had no mood to entertain the old man's taunts. He had a premonition that if this fellow got close, it would be a huge trouble.

He watched as the white Gu worm drew nearer and nearer, yet he was completely helpless.

"This is bad, Senior is in danger! What should we do, what should we do? Brother Changqin, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, what can you do? Hurry and tell us."

Several people watching from below anxiously questioned Crown Prince Changqin upon witnessing this scene.

Changqin gave a wry smile and shook his head. As a Great Witch of the Witch Clan, he knew nothing about these peculiar Spiritual Powers and Techniques, so how could he help King Dong?

Qianyu's eyes gradually furrowed. "I think I've discovered something, but I don't know if it's useful."

"Quick, tell us, tell us!"

Qianyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've noticed that these three Gu worms each have distinct characteristics, seemingly related to Essence, Qi, and Spirit."

The few of them pondered for a moment and realized it was indeed so.

Qingluan Bird asked puzzledly, "But what's the use of discovering this? Senior might already know."

"It's useless to us, but what if? What if this information is useful to King Dong?"

Qianyu no longer hesitated and shouted directly, "Your Majesty King Dong, these three Gu worms are related to Essence, Qi, and Spirit."

As soon as Qianyu finished speaking, before Donghua could even react, King Pan on the opposite side coldly snorted, "You crawling insect, you're truly seeking death."

Then, he raised a foreclaw and swiped down. The area where the few of them were located was instantly enveloped in darkness, and space was locked down, making escape impossible.

This was the might of a Quasi-Saint. With a single thought, Heaven and Earth changed, influencing the Dao of Heaven and Earth with their own Dao.

King Pan's casual swipe was a catastrophe for them. This was the difference between a Quasi-Saint and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Crown Prince Changqin, without any hesitation, revealed his Great Witch True Form, with Heavenly Fire emanating from his body.

A simple yet unadorned punch surged upwards, carrying immense power and a sky full of Heavenly Fire, colliding with King Pan's void claw shadow.

"Boom!"

After the collision, the claw shadow shattered, and Crown Prince Changqin retreated repeatedly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The Great Powers of the Quasi-Saint mid-stage are truly terrifying. Such a simple strike has wounded me."

Qianyu quickly stepped forward and anxiously asked, "Changqin, are you alright?"

Changqin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I'm not dead yet."

King Pan, seeing his claw strike blocked, muttered, "Interesting."

He then unleashed another attack. The King Pan Banner in front of him waved, and shadowy figures of Gu worms formed from the Power of Tribulation once again assailed them.

Upon seeing this, the five people below quickly unleashed their respective techniques.

The three juniors unleashed Phoenix True Fire to resist.

Crown Prince Changqin produced a blood-red banner in his hand. As he waved it, Heavenly Fire surged forth, its power comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint. This was precisely the Spiritual Treasure of the God of Fire, Zhu Rong, the Heavenly Fire Banner.

Qianyu transformed into his Hui Dragon True Form, spitting out a stream of blue-white cold current from his mouth, which was One Yuan Heavy Water.

The attacks of the few of them quickly intertwined with the dark, fine rain.

The moment they collided, the three juniors were directly repelled, knocked to the ground.

Although Phoenix True Fire was powerful, the cultivation of the three juniors was too low; the power of this true fire was insufficient.

The defensive area of the three juniors was taken over by Qianyu and Crown Prince Changqin, who struggled to block the onslaught.

King Pan was also quite surprised by this. His attack was definitely of Quasi-Saint early-stage power, yet it was blocked by two Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

However, upon seeing the Heavenly Fire Banner in Changqin's hand, his surprise lessened, replaced by a sense of apprehension. He naturally recognized the Heavenly Fire Banner of the God of Fire, Zhu Rong.

He dared to provoke King Dong this time because King Dong was alone. There was only one Quasi-Saint in the vast Purple Mansion, so killing him would incur no karma.

However, he would absolutely not provoke those twelve demon gods. The Twelve Demon Gods were a group of battle maniacs. Although they had now become the Twelve Ancestor Witches, old habits die hard, and their nature remained unchanged; they were likely still battle-crazed.

With this thought, he held back some of his strength against Crown Prince Changqin and instead resorted to a siege tactic, focusing his full power on Qianyu.

Qianyu's One Yuan Heavy Water was indeed formidable, but the gap in their cultivation was too vast. His defense instantly crumbled, and he was struck to the ground.

King Pan showed no mercy, striking with lethal intent as the Power of Tribulation transformed into a long saber and descended.

Qianyu watched the attack fall, but he was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Beside him, Crown Prince Changqin was trapped and unable to intervene. He frantically waved the Heavenly Fire Banner, but it was useless. This was the powerlessness of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal before a Quasi-Saint. After all, beings like Nuwa who could slay a Quasi-Saint while still a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal were rare.

Seeing his friend about to die, he could only cry out in despair, "No!"

"So this is what it feels like to wait for death. It truly sucks."

"Farewell, my friend. I won't keep my word."

Qianyu lamented inwardly, his heart filled with desolation. He struggled to lift his dragon head to glance at Crown Prince Changqin before closing his eyes to await his fate.

However, after waiting for a long time, death did not come. Instead, he heard King Pan's pained roar from the sky.

Qianyu strained his eyes open again.

He saw a purple and white figure before him, blocking the attack. King Pan plummeted from the sky, trembling on the ground in agony.

In that moment, Qianyu's heart had never felt so stirred, or perhaps, so moved.

"His Majesty King Dong actually used his body to block the saber for me."

At this moment, his excitement seemed to stem not from his own survival, but from Donghua using his body to shield him.

It turned out that after Qianyu mentioned the three Gu worms and their connection to Essence, Qi, and Spirit, Donghua had instantly understood the key to these three Gu worms.

Upon understanding, he couldn't help but sigh, "King Pan is truly talented. None of these old monsters who survived the ancient era are simple."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had created the method of severing the Three Corpses, thereby proving the Dao and achieving the Hunyuan realm, attaining the status of a Saint.

But King Pan had forged his own path. Instead of cultivating the Three Flowers on the Crown, he focused on Essence, Qi, and Spirit as the primary elements, nurturing Gu worms. The three Gu worms represented King Pan's Essence, Qi, and Spirit. The Three Flowers were the Three Gu, and the Three Gu were King Pan's means to prove the Dao.

The Qi Gu was the black Gu worm that was initially suppressed by the White Lotus. It could break all Qi in the world. Although the White Lotus's World Purifying Power was formidable, it also belonged to the category of Qi, and naturally could not withstand the Gu worm.

The Essence Gu was the golden Gu worm that fought the Golden Dragon. It possessed unparalleled defense, immense strength, and was incredibly powerful.

The Spirit Gu was the white Gu worm that had been chasing Donghua. It ignored all attacks and directly assaulted the Primordial Spirit.

No, it couldn't be called an assault on the Primordial Spirit, but rather a gnawing at it. Donghua could clearly sense the white Gu worm's terrifying devouring power.

Whether King Pan's cultivation method could lead to proving the Dao, Donghua was unsure, but in terms of offensive power, these three Gu worms were truly formidable.

Knowing the origin of the three Gu worms, Donghua could naturally address them strategically.
