"..."
Seeing Wang Hao manifest the Xuanhuang Myriad Tribulations Devil Pagoda, Taiqing's originally ferocious expression froze. When he saw Wang Hao then take out the Primordial Destroying the World Devil Ruler, Taiqing fell silent, questioning the meaning of life.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
A series of three questions left Taiqing completely bewildered. He had also received the Pangu inheritance, so he naturally knew what the Xuanhuang Myriad Tribulations Devil Pagoda and the Primordial Destroying the World Devil Ruler were, and could roughly guess the power of these two treasures.
Even if Wang Hao possessed only one of these two treasures, let alone both, he could easily defeat him.
Now that both treasures are in Wang Hao's hands, what's the point of fighting?
Wang Hao was too lazy to waste words with Taiqing. He suppressed Taiqing with the Xuanhuang Myriad Tribulations Devil Pagoda, and the power of the Primordial Destroying the World Devil Ruler erupted, directly annihilating Taiqing and turning him into a mass of Innate Taiqing primordial energy.
"Hey, are you dead? If you're not, get up."
Wang Hao sat down on a rock and looked at Shangqing Tongtian, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes lifeless, looking like he had been played with terribly.
To be fair, he also bears some of the blame for this incident. Originally, it would have taken at least trillions of years for the Three Pure Ones to take human form and emerge into the world.
The reason it takes so long is not because the Three Pure Ones lack the necessary aptitude, but because their inherent qualities are too strong, and they also need to comprehend the legacy of Pangu.
The legacy of Pangu is incredibly profound and exquisite. Back then, Wang Hao spent countless hours comprehending the Dao Fruit of the Great God Pangu in the Yin Ruins Space.
Although the Three Pure Ones of this world were transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, Three Pure Ones only gave them a good foundation and aptitude, not the cultivation of the Great Devil Pangu Three Pure Ones. Everything still needs to start from scratch.
Tragically, Great Devil Pangu, was born with the cultivation level of the Great Firmament Realm, and the legacy he left behind contained no Body Refinement below the Great Firmament Realm.
Moreover, the environment where the Great Devil Pangu lived was the Chaos Sea, which was completely different from the current Primordial Wilderness Devil World.
Given such a frustrating situation, the difficulty of finding a suitable cultivation method from Pangu's legacy is unimaginable.
This is like making a child who has just graduated from kindergarten learn a university-level knowledge system, and in a foreign language at that.
Although the Three Pure Ones possess extraordinary talent, it will still take a considerable amount of time to accomplish everything under such difficult conditions.
However, Wang Hao used his own true spirit cultivation to reverse the process of comprehending and deducing the Pangu inheritance, directly completing the basic part.
When he left Kunlun Mountain, although he took away a portion of the Taiqing and Shangqing origins, he passed on the completed basic system to Taiqing and Shangqing, making it easier for them to cultivate and transform.
This greatly shortened the time for Taiqing Shangqing to take form, allowing them to be born at this point in time.
However, Wang Hao underestimated the strangeness of this world. After Taiqing appeared, its first reaction was to devour Shangqing Tongtian to replenish its own origin.
This path is indeed feasible, after all, the Three Pure Ones are formed by the division of Innate Pure Qi into three, which is not only a quantitative division but also a qualitative one.
Compared to the original Innate Pure Qi, the three pure energies of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing that have differentiated are weaker, which to some extent reduces the aptitude of the Three Pure Ones.
It is indeed possible to restore the most original Innate Pure Qi through absorption and fusion, but this is only a possibility, and there will inevitably be unpredictable dangers involved.
It was precisely because of this concern, and because he did not want to touch the trajectory of Heavenly Mandate, lest he be targeted by that mysterious powerhouse hidden in the hidden domain, that Wang Hao did not devour Taiqing and Shangqing in the first place.
However, Taiqing's actions made Wang Hao suddenly realize that he was wrong, terribly wrong.
After discovering that the essence of this world was completely different from that of the Primordial Main World, he should have understood that the trajectory of fate belonging to the Primordial Main World could not be perfectly reproduced here.
For example, if he hadn't traveled through time, the Three Pure Ones might have ended up devouring each other, leaving only one alive. This would undoubtedly have had a huge impact on their future destinies.
If even the Three Pure Ones could suffer losses by devouring each other, then one can imagine what else might happen.
Most importantly, after careful exploration over tens of millions of years, he discovered that there is no Heavenly Dao in this Primordial Wilderness Devil World. Although there is a certain trajectory of destiny, it is not absolute.
Major events may be unchangeable, but minor events are less of a concern.
"Thank you so much for saving me, elder brother!"
As Shangqing Tongtian slowly recovered, he sat up, his condition extremely miserable. Half of his neck had been devoured by Taiqing, and even his left cheek had been eaten away, revealing the white bone beneath.
If Wang Hao had arrived even a day later, Tongtian would have been swallowed whole by Taiqing.
"Eldest brother? That's right, I was the first to take human form and am indeed the eldest of the Three Pure Ones."
Tongtian's address of "elder brother" startled Wang Hao, but he quickly realized that he was the first of the Three Pure Ones to be born, and with his current strength being the strongest, he could indeed be the eldest and replace the position that originally belonged to Taiqing.
"Most of your origin has been devoured, and your Dao body and foundation have been largely destroyed. Even if it is repaired, it will not be as perfect as before, which will limit your future achievements. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
As Wang Hao took out the Three Pure Ones Ones' essence that he had extracted, forming an energy ball in his hand and rapidly evolving and fusing it, he indifferently asked a question.
Unlike his relationship with Taiqing, he had a good relationship with Sect Master Tongtian in the Primordial Main World, so he was more optimistic about Tongtian in this world.
The Body Refinement he left behind when he left was mainly for the purpose of Tongtian; Laozi of Taiqing was just a side effect.
He never expected that his good intentions would backfire and cause Tongtian trouble.
And it was precisely because of this that he felt quite ashamed.
"I intend to transform into pure energy and begin cultivating anew. I humbly request that you, elder brother, protect me on my path!"
After glancing at the three strands of the Three Pure Ones Ones' Origin Power in Wang Hao's hand, Tongtian remained silent for a moment before revealing his decision.
Having inherited the legacy of Pangu, he would not be short-sighted enough to destroy the foundation of the future. Therefore, although rebuilding would take a lot of time, it was the best choice.
As for the Three Pure Ones' Origin that Wang Hao currently possesses, he roughly guessed what it was all about; it must have been extracted from him and Taiqing after Wang Hao's birth.
Doing this will definitely damage his and Taiqing's fundamental foundation, but it doesn't matter now.
"First, integrate your primordial spirit into this Innate Pure Qi, and then use it as a foundation to absorb the essence of the Three Pure Ones. This should allow your aptitude to reach a higher level."
As he spoke, Wang Hao sent the Innate Pure Qi that had been transformed from the fusion of the Three Pure Ones Ones' original power into Tongtian's hand.
He naturally always wanted to replenish his own pure qi source and obtain perfect Innate Pure Qi. He extracted a portion of the source power from Shangqing and Taiqing respectively in order to explore the mysteries within and kept trying.
For tens of millions of years, he has never stopped trying in this area, and recently he finally achieved results.
"Brother, what's wrong with you...?"
Tongtian stared in astonishment at the small ball of Innate Pure Qi handed to him. Although it was only the size of a fist, its essence was a level stronger than his Shangqing Origin.
He just couldn't understand why his elder brother would give him such a great opportunity.
His previous experiences made Shangqing Tongtian realize that brotherhood was a joke, so he was instinctively wary of this elder brother.
Not to mention that it had previously drained a portion of my original power, so I should be even more wary.
But Wang Hao's actions have left him somewhat confused.
"A newborn young person doesn't have so many thoughts!"
Wang Hao naturally saw through Tongtian's thoughts, and annoyed, he took the Primordial Destroying the World Devil Ruler and slammed it hard on Tongtian's head.
Although he didn't unleash the power of the Primordial Destroying the World Devil Ruler, he still managed to strike Tongtian quite hard with his brute force, even breaking his neck.
Tongtian's neck had already been half-eaten by Taiqing, damaging its strength. Now, after this attack, it's already lucky that his neck wasn't completely broken.
Gripping his teeth, Tongtian straightened his broken head. Although he was in great pain, he felt a sense of relief.
It seems this elder brother is quite different from that Taiqing.
"Bang!"
Just then, the Innate Pure Qi that Wang Hao had successfully fused with suddenly exploded and transformed back into the Three Pure Ones Qi. Tongtian's Tongtian turned ashen at this sight, and his starry eyes turned into dead fish eyes as he stared intently at Wang Hao.
He found that this older brother didn't seem very reliable.
Even so, he was still forced to merge his primordial spirit into it; if things went wrong, he might be annihilated, both body and soul.
"Ahem, it's still a bit lacking, somewhat unstable, but once your primordial spirit takes over and with some guidance and manipulation, it should be able to maintain its stability."
Clearing his throat, Wang Hao patted Tongtian on the shoulder, giving him a look that said, "You can definitely do it." He had a lot of confidence in this cheap buddy of his.
As mentioned before, he has made some progress in the fusion of the Three Pure Ones Qi, which means that the fusion has not been truly completed, but only a half-finished product has been created.
Because it wasn't a perfect fusion, that Innate Pure Qi was very unstable and could explode at any moment.
However, if the Tongtian Heavenly Yuan (a powerful spiritual entity) were to reside within and regulate and maintain the body, there should be no problem.
"Brother, can't you come up with a more reliable method?"
Looking at the explosively restored Three Pure Ones Qi, Tongtian still couldn't muster the courage to enter this thing. It was just too dangerous; one wrong move and he would be gone.
Moreover, he was very self-aware; he knew he couldn't handle something so difficult.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Wang Hao was very displeased with Tongtian's distrust of his younger brother, so he directly reached out and grabbed Heavenly Yuan spirit, stuffing it into the newly reassembled Innate Pure Qi.
Although Tongtian's current abilities are indeed somewhat lacking, people are often driven to their limits. He believes that as long as he is given enough pressure, his adopted younger brother can achieve ultimate evolution.
Moreover, even if he were to die, there is a way to reunite his primordial spirit; at most, the reunited will might not be the same Tongtian as before.
The Tongtian Heavenly Yuan, who had been stuffed with Innate Pure Qi, was on the verge of tears. Before he could even open his mouth to accuse Wang Hao of his inhumanity, he sensed that the innate pure Innate Pure Qi was collapsing inside. He was so frightened that he quickly calmed his mind and tried to stabilize the Innate Pure Qi.
Wang Hao's thinking was correct. Under the pressure of death, his Tongtian potential erupted, and he actually managed to maintain the collapse of his Innate Pure Qi beyond his own limits.
Although it was a very difficult situation, it did manage to stay afloat.
