The scene within the formation suddenly opened up, revealing a pool of water lying quietly at the center of the valley.
The pool was not clear to the bottom, but instead displayed a magnificent, extraordinary sight.
The golden radiance of sunlight, the silver brilliance of moonlight, the dazzling splendor of starlight.
Three kinds of innate divine light swirled within it naturally.
They illuminated the entire pool with flowing colors and shimmering light, as dense vapors rose endlessly, radiating boundless vitality and the spiritual essence that nourished all things.
"Three Lights Divine Water?"
Fuxi could hardly conceal the shock in his eyes as he stepped forward quickly. "Sunlight Divine Water can dissolve flesh, blood, and bones; Moonlight Divine Water can corrode Primordial Spirit and soul; Starlight Divine Water devours true spirit and consciousness—each is a deadly poison.
But when the three merge as one, they become the foremost healing remedy of the Primordial World, capable of restoring flesh to bone, reviving the dead, and nourishing the roots of all life!
So much Three Lights Divine Water... it's unheard of!"
Even Nüwa and Guiyuan were astonished. A single drop of this Three Lights Divine Water could heal a Taiyi's severe injuries, and here there were tens of thousands of drops or more?
Guiyuan's gaze shifted downward, where at the bottom of the shimmering, divine pool lay a layer of soil exuding a thick Earth Essence Qi.
The soil was a warm, earthy yellow, its spiritual energy contained within, appearing ordinary yet giving off a strange sense of being able to bear and nurture all things in heaven and earth.
"Nine Heavens Soil?"
His heart stirred, and he immediately thought of later legends. Nüwa molded clay to create humanity, using precisely this Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Soil.
Could it be that the starting point of that great merit lay right here?
But if he hadn't intervened, how could Fuxi and the others have broken the Three Talents Formation?
Yet he reconsidered—without his involvement, given Fuxi's profound mastery of formations and Heavenly Secrets, spending even longer years, he might still have worn down the formation through patient effort or other clever methods, and this opportunity would ultimately have fallen into the siblings' hands.
The three turned their gazes to the space above the pool.
Three pearls, their divine light restrained, hung in the air in a Three Talents Formation, slowly rotating like breathing, rhythmically absorbing the essence of the Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Soil below.
Their divine senses naturally swept over, and information about the pearls became clear in their minds.
"Three Pearls of Heaven, Earth, and Man?" Fuxi raised an eyebrow, reading the information. "Heavenly Yuan Pearl governs Heavenly Secrets deduction and clarifies changes.
Earthly Yuan Pearl contains the vitality of creation, nourishing all things, and can also gain the earth's heaviness to suppress mountains.
Human Yuan Pearl... can refine the qi of all beings and attain myriad divine powers?"
Before his words faded, the three pearls seemed to respond, moving in unison.
The Heavenly Yuan Pearl turned into a stream of light, plunging straight into Fuxi's embrace, merging seamlessly with his aura.
The Earthly Yuan Pearl emitted a warm, heavy radiance, settling steadily into Nüwa's palm, resonating faintly with her own Dao of Creation.
As for the Human Yuan Pearl, it first shot without hesitation toward Guiyuan as a dusky stream of light.
But halfway there, it seemed to hit an invisible wall, abruptly slowing and halting midair.
The pearl's light flickered rapidly, brightening and dimming erratically, as if in violent struggle—lurching forward a bit, then hesitantly retreating.
It spun in place, appearing extremely hesitant and resistant.
Guiyuan frowned deeply. He had no patience to play coy games with a pearl.
He reached out, spreading his five fingers.
An invisible surge of mana instantly enveloped the indecisive Human Yuan Pearl, grabbing it unceremoniously and pulling it firmly into his palm.
The moment the Human Yuan Pearl fell into his hand, it trembled violently as if startled, darting left and right in his palm, its light flickering rapidly, conveying a strong reluctance, as if desperately trying to break free from his grip.
"Great Treasure Refining Technique."
Divine thought and supernatural power intertwined.
Guiyuan immediately began refining the Human Yuan Pearl, which contained 36 Innate Restrictions, already nearing the limit of a High-grade Innate Treasure.
It was only a step away from a Top-grade Innate Treasure.
As he began the refinement, the information within surprised him. "Soul, True Spirit?"
Fuxi and Nüwa, seeing what had just happened, exchanged odd looks. It felt as though the Human Yuan Pearl hadn't been very fated to bond with Guiyuan.
But they couldn't say anything. Each had gained something, and since they had entered together, they couldn't very well exclude Guiyuan.
Fuxi smiled and spoke. "How about we split the Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Soil equally into two portions, one for each of our sides?"
Guiyuan heard Fuxi's proposal.
This was a man of integrity.
Logically speaking, it should also be divided into three portions, one for each person.
Fuxi was treating it as two parties.
But there was no need to owe Guiyuan this karmic debt; after all, the Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Soil were not indispensable to him.
There was no reason to owe Fuxi and Nüwa karmic debts and favors for these things.
Guiyuan waved his hand and said, "Just divide it into three portions."
He had already thought of uses for the two treasures.
As for the Nine Heavens Soil, even a small piece could form an entire continent; the more spiritual energy, the faster it grew.
Guiyuan planned to refine it into the Thirty-Three Heavens Fierce Sha Treasure using his Eternal Life Method.
The Eternal Life Method also allowed treasures to enclose living beings and harvest their faith, and the Nine Heavens Soil would serve as the perfect vessel.
As for the Three Lights Divine Water, unless used for healing, it would ordinarily be stored within the Xuanyuan Controlling Water Flag, dividing the three waters of sun, moon, and stars for use against enemies.
Seeing Guiyuan insist, Fuxi said no more and nodded in agreement.
He swept his sleeve, activated his divine power, and the Three Lights Divine Water in the pool along with the Nine Heavens Soil below were instantly divided into three equal portions, transforming into three streams of light that flew toward each of them.
Guiyuan reached out and caught his share; the divine water swirled in his palm, the three lights of sun, moon, and stars alternating in radiance, while the soil emitted a thick, warm Earth Essence Qi.
With a slight thought, he carefully stored it away.
As the treasures were taken, the vibrant spiritual energy within the valley receded like a tide, and the hazy divine light and Dao resonance quickly dissipated.
In but a moment, this place became no different from any ordinary valley in the Primordial World, utterly unremarkable.
The three walked out of the valley side by side.
Though their joint effort to break the formation had not lasted long, it had forged a certain bond.
Fuxi looked at Guiyuan with a warm smile and extended an invitation: "Daoist Guiyuan, would you do us the honor of visiting our mountain dwelling, Phoenix Mountain, for a few days?
We could exchange insights on the Dao, and I believe it would benefit us all."
During the formation-breaking earlier, Fuxi had observed clearly.
Guiyuan's methods were endless, his comprehension of the Great Dao profound, and his divine abilities were wielded with ease, each one formidable.
Whether in Dao foundation or the application of divine powers, he surpassed both Fuxi and Nüwa.
Now that the path to Daluo remained unclear, being able to discuss the Dao with such a figure was undoubtedly a rare opportunity.
Guiyuan pondered for a moment upon hearing this.
Fuxi excelled at deducing Heavenly Secrets, while Nüwa commanded the vitality of creation; their "Dao" was indeed unique and would greatly aid his understanding of the laws of the Primordial World.
Moreover, he happened to need a quiet place to refine the newly acquired Nine Heavens Soil into the Thirty-Three Heavens Fierce Sha Treasure.
The path to Daluo was fundamental, but the art of protecting the Dao was equally important; enhancing his treasure's power would not take much time but could provide extra confidence in critical moments.
"Good." Guiyuan nodded in agreement. "With the two of you's generous invitation, Guiyuan will impose on your hospitality."
"You are too kind, Daoist. Please, follow us." Fuxi said with a smile.
Nüwa also gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
