Red Flower, White Lotus Root, Green Lotus Leaf

Hongjun's eyes lit up. With a thought, he immediately headed toward the source of the treasure's radiance.

"It really is the Fortune Jade Disc!!!"

He was especially excited!

Who didn't know that the Fortune Jade Disc recorded the three thousand Great Daos?

With the Fortune Jade Disc, was there any need to fear that his strength could not improve?

"Just a fragment." When Hongjun picked up the treasure, he could not help feeling somewhat disappointed. "A fragment is still a fragment. Once I have one piece, I can find the others.

"Once I find the remaining fragments, the Great Dao can be achieved!"

Hongjun's eyes brimmed with greed:

"There are no treasures left in the Chaos beyond the heavens! I might as well settle in Western Kunlun first, then enter the Primordial World to seek treasures."

Having made up his mind, Hongjun began carrying out his plan.

Aside from Hongjun.

The Space God-Demon transformed into Daoist Yang Mei.

The Yin-Yang God-Demon transformed into the Yin-Yang Ancestor.

The Heaven-Earth God-Demon transformed into the Cosmic Patriarch.

The Time God-Demon transformed into the Time Daoist.

There was also the Five-Elements Daoist...

Without exception, all of them had suffered severe damage to their origins. Then, influenced by the Heavenly Dao, they lost part of their memories.

Chaos beyond the heavens.

Using the Origin Nexus Domain of the Primordial Origin Pivot Pearl as its foundation, Chu Yi cleaved open the Chaos beyond the heavens and built a palace of his own.

This construction took ten thousand years.

At last, he had completed his palace.

It was practically a miniature world.

He named this palace "One."

Yes, there was nothing fancy about it. It was simply "One"!

The Great Dao was fifty, Heaven derived forty-nine, and one escaped.

That was the meaning behind "One"!

"It's finally finished."

Chu Yi looked at his masterpiece, deeply satisfied.

"Judging by the time, the Three Pure Ones should be about to be born as well."

The Three Pure Ones were formed from Big Brother's pure qi... they were practically Big Brother's children. By seniority, the Three Pure Ones should call him uncle.

"Once the Demon-Dao War ends, Hongjun will establish the Violet Firmament Palace and expound the Dao there..."

"What Dao could Hongjun, a mere earthworm, possibly expound?"

"I can't let him mislead my three nephews. When the time comes, I'll personally teach them the method to attain the Dao."

Yes, besides the Three Pure Ones, there were also the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were likewise formed from Big Brother's essence blood, practically Big Brother's children.

If given the chance, he definitely had to guide them carefully as well.

He could not let Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao scheme against them.

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Law of Life. ]

At that moment, the system's notification sounded in Chu Yi's mind.

Not bad. He had gained another law.

The next moment, Chu Yi comprehended the wonders of the Law of Life.

It could nurture life and heal injuries... so long as one's origin was not shattered, even the most severe wounds could heal on their own.

[ Ding! The Three Pure Ones are about to be born. Please choose. ]

[ Choice One: Enter the Primordial World personally, guide the Three Pure Ones, and nurture them carefully. Reward: ten thousand years of cultivation. Note: The Primordial World has only just opened, and the Heavenly Dao has already been born. This action will entangle the Host in the karma of the Heavenly Dao. Please choose carefully. ]

[ Choice Two: After the Three Pure Ones are born, use supreme divine powers to transmit secret messages and guide them, ensuring that they do not attend the Violet Firmament Palace to hear the Dao in the future. Reward: one complete law. ]

Was this really giving me a choice?

Wasn't it just telling me to do this?

Ten thousand years of cultivation...

Could it be any more perfunctory?

It seemed he could only choose the second option. Guiding them remotely would do as well.

Primordial World.

When the great Pangu exhausted his strength and died, his skull transformed into the Kunlun Mountain range.

At the center of Kunlun's spiritual vein, a clear spring emerged, known as the Creation Spring Eye.

After Chu Yi was born, a mature lotus seed from the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus fell into the Creation Spring Eye!

Nourished by the Creation Spring Eye, the lotus seed grew into an Azure Lotus with thirty-six petals, known as the Thirty-Six-Petaled Creation Azure Lotus.

The three strands of pure qi that drifted from Pangu eventually settled upon the Creation Azure Lotus. Over time, nourished by the Creation Azure Lotus, the three strands of pure qi formed embryos.

Several tens of thousands of years had now passed.

Today, a strange phenomenon appeared atop Kunlun Mountain.

The skies and earth became clear and bright... dispelling the baleful aura left behind when the world was opened.

At the same time, Dao charm filled the surroundings of the Thirty-Six-Petaled Creation Azure Lotus... while auspicious clouds of merit lingered above it.

Suddenly!

One of the embryos atop the Creation Azure Lotus abruptly shattered.

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, holding a Primordial Dust Whisk, slowly came into being.

The instant he appeared upon the land of the Primordial World, golden lotuses suddenly bloomed between Heaven and Earth.

"Heaven and Earth have bestowed upon me the name Taiqing Laozi."

He gave a soft cry, and the surrounding pure qi gathered toward him.

A vast beam of merit descended upon him.

This was Pangu's lingering blessing, the merit of opening Heaven.

That Primordial Dust Whisk was his innate treasure, formed from the flower of the Creation Azure Lotus.

After that.

A tremendous boom rang out.

The second embryo had matured, and a young man stepped out from the Creation Azure Lotus.

"Heaven and Earth have bestowed upon me the name: Primordial Origin Heavenly Venerable!"

Likewise, he was blessed by the merit of opening Heaven.

His innate treasure was the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, formed from the Azure Lotus's root!

Immediately afterward, another loud boom sounded.

Another young man was born.

"Heaven and Earth have bestowed upon me the name: The High Pure One Tongtian, the Heaven-Connecting Sect Master."

His treasure was formed from the flower of the Creation Azure Lotus, named the Azure Duckweed Sword!

"Second Brother, Third Brother."

Laozi wore a kindly expression as he gave his two younger brothers a slight bow.

"Big Brother, Third Brother."

Primordial Origin Heavenly Venerable gave a respectful salute to his eldest brother and an equal salute to his third brother.

"Big Brother, Second Brother."

The Heaven-Connecting Sect Master was the youngest, so he had to show respect to both of his elder brothers.

As the saying went, red flower, white lotus root, green lotus leaf—the Three Pure Ones had originally been one family.

"Now that we have been born, we should venture through the great world of the Primordial World."

The Heaven-Connecting Sect Master was high-spirited as he made the suggestion.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, we have only just been born and our foundations are unstable. Why not cultivate for a time first and stabilize our foundations?"

Taiqing Laozi spoke up.

At birth, he already possessed cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.

The Primordial Origin Heavenly Venerable and the Heaven-Connecting Sect Master were at the late Quasi-Saint realm.

The Primordial World was currently filled with ferocious beasts, so Taiqing's decision was the steadier one.

Those ferocious beasts had the three thousand Chaos God-Demons as their foundation, and their strength could not be underestimated.

Especially their supreme leader, the Beast Emperor Shen Ni!

He was the common ruler of the primordial ferocious beasts, born from the lingering obsessions of Chaos God-Demons fused with baleful aura and the turbid qi produced when Heaven was opened.

His innate divine ability restrained primordial spirits and could devour the primordial spirits of innate sacred beings!

Besides him, there were also the four great ferocious beasts with peak combat power.

Chaos, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie!

The Three Pure Ones' foundations were unstable. Against these ferocious beasts, they might not necessarily win.

"Big Brother, all of us have innate treasures. Why should we fear those bird-brained ferocious beasts?"

The Heaven-Connecting Sect Master was rather rebellious!

A newborn calf feared no tiger; right now, he feared neither Heaven nor Earth!

"Second Brother, what do you think?" Taiqing Laozi turned his gaze toward Yuanshi, the second brother.

"I'll listen to Big Brother." Yuanshi expressed his opinion.

"Good. Third Brother, listen to your elder brother. Let's enter seclusion first."

Taiqing Laozi smiled. "Once our cultivation is stable, we can travel through the Primordial World."

"Big Brother, you can't go back on your word." The Heaven-Connecting Sect Master looked somewhat aggrieved.

But since both of his elder brothers had said so, there was no use in him objecting alone.

However!

Just then.

A powerful, baleful aura charged toward Kunlun Mountain.
