The Three Pure Ones Discuss Proving Dao, Yuanshi Nearly Falls Into Demonic Ways

"My chance to prove Dao lies with the Human Race!"

Upon hearing Taishang's telepathic message, Yuanshi and Tongtian were first stunned, then their eyes lit up.

They hadn't expected Taishang to grasp his chance to prove Dao even before Nu Wa had become a Saint.

The two, who had been worried about their junior sister, Nu Wa, progressing ahead of them and unsure how to handle it, felt a bit relieved.

Seeing their eager gazes, Taishang quickly transmitted, "Brothers, please do not spread the word!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian immediately suppressed the expressions on their faces and began to communicate privately.

"Big Brother, does this mean you are also close to becoming a Saint?" Tongtian asked, his voice filled with joy.

Taishang shook his head, sighing, "Sainthood isn't that easy. I merely have a slight intuition in the grand scheme of things. As for truly proving Dao, who knows when that will happen."

"Big Brother, how does one perceive the opportunity to prove Dao?" Yuanshi couldn't help but ask, his eyes gleaming with envy at Taishang's discovery of his path.

"This..."

Taishang hesitated slightly, then pondered.

However, in Yuanshi's eyes, Taishang's behavior was a clear refusal to share how he perceived the path to proving Dao.

"Since Big Brother is unwilling to say, then Second Brother won't press further!" Yuanshi replied, his tone tinged with displeasure.

Hearing Yuanshi's words, Taishang knew his old habit had resurfaced.

Those who like to scheme always feel that others' every move is also a scheme against them.

"Second Brother, you've misunderstood! Everyone's Dao is different, and their perceptions naturally differ.

For example, I gain insight from observing people, while Junior Sister Nu Wa gains insight from observing the beings of Hong Huang.

As for those who come later, some might gain insight from objects, some from plants, some from the world, and some from heaven and earth.

But no matter the type of perception, it is only related to one's own Dao.

I fear that speaking of it might instead hinder you in finding your own Dao."

After hearing Taishang's explanation, Yuanshi felt nothing but shame and indignation. He lowered his head, unable to meet Taishang's gaze, and bowed deeply, "Please forgive me, Big Brother. It was my misunderstanding!"

"Second Brother, you always overthink things. Isn't it tiring to scheme and calculate all the time? Don't worry, Big Brother would never lie to us," Tongtian said nonchalantly, looking at Yuanshi.

Tongtian found Taishang's words to be very reasonable.

He didn't feel anything from observing Xuan Du; the young man was dull and less interesting than Liu Mang. He couldn't understand how Big Brother saw the opportunity to prove Dao in Xuan Du.

Although Tongtian was stronger, his understanding of Dao was not as profound as Taishang's. As for the opportunity to prove Dao that Taishang spoke of, he had no inkling.

Since he couldn't figure it out anyway, he simply accepted whatever Taishang said.

Tongtian's words made Yuanshi roll his eyes internally, This clueless fellow. If it weren't for Big Brother and me, you would have been sold long ago and still be helping them count the money.

Tongtian turned and looked at Taishang with a delighted expression, as if basking in his reflected glory. "Having an insight is better than having none. I believe Big Brother will surely prove Dao!"

After speaking, Tongtian looked at Nu Wa, who was creating humans nearby. "After observing Junior Sister Nu Wa's process of proving Dao this time, I also want to travel through Hong Huang to see if I can find my own opportunity and gain insight to prove Dao."

Hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi also looked at Nu Wa with envy, but he still had no idea where his own opportunity to prove Dao lay, which made him a little anxious.

Big Brother surpassing me is only natural. If I am surpassed by Third Brother or those two from the West, what face will I have left!

But why do I have no perception of my own opportunity to prove Dao?

Could it be that I, Yuanshi, will truly be the last to prove Dao? Or is the Dao I chose inherently wrong?

Yuanshi began to think aimlessly, but the more he thought, the more he felt that there was a problem with his cultivation, causing abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding space.

Seeing this, Taishang shook his head helplessly.

I wonder if my words just now were good or bad for Second Brother?

How could Taishang not understand his second brother's thoughts?

In Yuanshi's eyes, only the Three Pure Ones were the true descendants of Pangu. Other beings were merely beneficiaries of Pangu's blessings.

Whether it was the Ancestor Witches, born from Pangu's essence blood mixed with turbid energy, or the Golden Crows, who took form from Pangu's eyes, or the myriad races of Hong Huang who profited from Pangu's creation of heaven and earth, none could compare to the Three Pure Ones.

Therefore, Yuanshi not only looked down on all races but also was unwilling to be surpassed by anyone.

To put it bluntly, he was a sore loser.

Taishang could clearly sense this.

In the sparring and debates with him and Tongtian, Yuanshi sometimes wouldn't hold back for the sake of his pride.

However, as the eldest of the Three Pure Ones, he didn't often argue with Yuanshi and found an excuse for himself: "Pure and inactive, disliking conflict."

As for Tongtian, being the youngest, losing was just losing. It wasn't shameful to lose, and he didn't take victory or defeat too seriously.

If Tongtian truly got serious, with just the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation alone, he and Yuanshi combined wouldn't be enough to fight him.

Seeing Yuanshi about to get stuck in a mental loop again, Taishang sighed slightly and reminded him, "Second Brother, quickly awaken!"

Yuanshi, lost in endless turmoil, felt Taishang's words strike his ears like thunder. When he regained his senses, he found himself covered in a cold sweat.

Taishang looked at Yuanshi and said calmly, "Second Brother, you are too fixated. The three of us were born from Father God's merits in creating heaven and earth. Proving Dao is like ripe fruit falling from a tree; it's only a matter of time. There's no need to be so anxious!"

Yuanshi let out a long sigh, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Big Brother. Otherwise, I would have nearly fallen into a demonic state."

Yuanshi finished speaking. Although he no longer clung to the understanding of the Dao, he still hadn't given up.

"Big Brother achieved enlightenment upon seeing Xuan Du, so will the second Human Race help me achieve enlightenment?"

Yuanshi thought to himself, his gaze landing on Liu Mang. After searching for a while, he discovered that this guy had, at some point, returned to Nu Wa's side.

"This fellow's courage is truly immense. If he were to be grazed by even a bit of this surging power of laws, he'd be gone."

At that moment, Liu Mang was sitting on the ground, chin propped in his hands, watching Nu Wa create humans with great interest. Greed flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Originally, Nu Wa had worried that the surging power of laws would harm Liu Mang before she began, and had sent him to Fu Xi's side.

However, while Fu Xi and the Demon Gods were engrossed in conversation and no one was paying attention to him, Liu Mang had slipped away. After wandering for a while, he found a less conspicuous spot and slowly moved closer to Nu Wa.

It had to be said that he was lucky. The power of laws flowing around Nu Wa was at least eight hundred streams per second, if not three thousand, yet not a single one touched Liu Mang.

Liu Mang felt the divine radiance that brushed past him from time to time and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

"This is the Power of Creation! To be able to brush against it, even a little, is something. It's not like there are any downsides to it."

If he had known these things could be fatal, he wouldn't have dared to come near, even if beaten to death.

However, if you thought this was Liu Mang's only objective, you would be gravely mistaken!

In truth, Liu Mang had his eyes on the stone platform Nu Wa was using to create humans long ago.

Novels about Hong Huang from his past life all stated that Nu Wa used Hong Jun's Qiankun Cauldron to create humans. But now, with humans almost finished being created, he hadn't even seen a shadow of the Qiankun Cauldron. Instead, he saw a stone platform that looked like something for playing house.

With such a significant difference, how could Liu Mang not notice?

Whether it was useful or not, whether it could be used or not, he had to get his hands on it first – that was Liu Mang's rule.

Therefore, this stone platform, (if Nu Wa didn't want it) he was determined to get!
