After Jieyin, Zhunti, Ming Xin, and their four-master-and-disciple group fled with the Jade Disk of Creation fragment, the atmosphere on the battlefield at the center of Buzhou Mountain became even more delicate and tense.

The greatest winners had already departed, taking with them the disk fragment containing the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

At this moment, every remaining gaze was fixed fervently upon the Twenty-Fourth Grade Green Lotus of Creation, which still stood lofty and sacred, swaying gently.

This was a Chaos spiritual treasure, a supreme divine artifact from the dawn of creation. In some sense, its value was even greater than that incomplete disk fragment, though it was far more difficult to control.

However, after the conflict with the Two Sages of the West and Ming Xin, as well as the interference of that strange "Red Dust Domain," a shadow had fallen over the hearts of all the great powers. Their wariness and hostility toward one another had also risen to their peak.

Di Jun and Tai Yi led the Demon Clan Sages as the phantom of the Grand Formation of the Stars condensed once more. True Sun Fire blazed fiercely, aimed directly at the Green Lotus.

Having lost the disk fragment, they were even more determined to obtain this Green Lotus and use it to strengthen the foundations of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

Creation aura flowed around Empress Nuwa. The Red Embroidered Ball and the Map of Mountains and Rivers reflected one another as she too searched for an opportunity.

Old Ancestor Ming He's Blood Sea churned as the killing intent of the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords surged into the heavens. Demon Master Kun Peng tore through space with his sharp claws, waiting for his chance.

Zhen Yuan Zi unfurled the Earth Book, and Earth Qi settled heavily through the air.

Yet everyone knew in their hearts that the greatest obstacle remained the three Daoists standing apart in three directions, their auras linked as one, as though they had been born from the same origin as the Chaos Green Lotus—the Three Pure Ones!

Laozi, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Lord of the Heavens. Since their Form Transformation, they had cultivated together, sharing the same Dao and connected in spirit. They were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, and their primordial spirits possessed an innate resonance with this supreme treasure transformed from Great God Pangu's Chaos Green Lotus.

Now that The West had retreated and everyone else was eyeing the treasure hungrily, the Three Pure Ones exchanged a glance. Without a word, they already understood one another's intentions.

"This treasure should belong to us brothers." The Grand Pure Daoist spoke calmly. His voice was not loud, yet it carried an undeniable sense of predestination.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi descending from the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda above his head grew increasingly dense, nearly freezing the eternal space-time surrounding the Chaos Green Lotus.

At the same time, he pointed the Flat Staff in his hand toward the Chaos Green Lotus from afar!

The Jade Pure Daoist moved at the same time. The Pangu Banner fluttered loudly, and the endless Chaos sword qi no longer attacked others, instead transforming into profound runes.

They wound around the roots and lotus platform of the Chaos Green Lotus, as though performing an ancient ritual to stir the Pangu origin within it.

The Heavenly Daoist laughed heartily. The Four Immortal Slaying Swords rang out with a clear sword cry, yet the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent was not for slaughter.

Instead, it transformed into an unmatched sharpness and vitality, striking directly toward the lotus heart at the center of the Chaos Green Lotus!

The three Quasi-Saint great powers attacked at once, but their goal was not to seize it. Rather... they sought to refine and awaken it!

The towering Chaos Green Lotus suddenly trembled violently, erupting with unprecedented radiant light. Azure-green rays illuminated the Endless Chaos.

Vast Creation Dao Rhyme surged forth like a tsunami, forcing Di Jun, Tai Yi, Nuwa, and the other great powers who tried to approach back several steps!

"Three Pure Ones! You dare keep this supreme treasure for yourselves?!" Eastern Emperor Tai Yi roared. The Chaos Bell gave a thunderous boom as he prepared to smash it forward regardless of the consequences.

Yet what happened next froze every great power who had intended to act in place, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Under the joint guidance of the Three Pure Saints' origin Dao power, the Twenty-Fourth Grade Green Lotus of Creation began to undergo an incomparably mysterious transformation.

The lotus stem detached first, radiating boundless vitality and an unyielding Dao Rhyme, before falling into Sage Laozi's hand.

Amid ten thousand rays of light, its form changed. It became a Flat Staff wrapped around by a coiling dragon, naturally imbued with Dao Rhyme. It fused with the item already in his hand, becoming even more profoundly mysterious.

The enormous lotus platform flew toward the Primordial Lord of Heaven. Its petals closed, and streams of Chaos Runes merged into it. Treasure light shimmered as it finally transformed into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, overflowing with auspicious radiance and containing supreme authority and the Power of Law.

As for the lotus leaves and part of the petals, the sharpest portions containing the intent of creation, they merged with Lord of the Heavens' Qingping Sword Intent.

They suddenly contracted. Green light shot into the sky, slaughter and vitality coexisting within it. In the end, they transformed into an ancient longsword with faint Green Lotus patterns upon its blade and peerless sharpness—it was the Qingping Sword!

Its form seemed even more complete, and its Dao Rhyme even more whole.

Thus, the massive Twenty-Fourth Grade Green Lotus of Creation vanished. In its place floated three supreme spiritual treasures in the hands of the Three Pure Saints, their auras connected and born from the same source!

Laozi held the Flat Staff, Primordial Lord of Heaven wielded the jade ruyi, and Lord of the Heavens gripped the Qingping Sword.

The auras of the three supreme treasures resonated with one another. As their radiance flowed, a phenomenon naturally manifested within Chaos:

A phantom azure lotus flower bloomed before them (red flower), connected below by phantoms of gleaming white lotus roots (white lotus root), while azure-green lotus leaves unfurled beside it (green lotus leaf).

Red Flower, White Lotus Root, Green Lotus Leaf—the Three Teachings were originally one family!

A Great Dao proverb, seemingly destined since the beginning of creation, echoed through the minds of every great power.

This phenomenon, this proverb, clearly proclaimed that the Chaos Green Lotus was destined to belong to Pangu's Three Pure Ones, becoming the accompanying treasures through which they would attain the Dao and become Sages. This was the decree of fate!

Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces turned ashen, and even the light of the Grand Formation of the Stars dimmed.

They could contend for ownerless treasures, but they could not defy this revealed decree of fate—a settled outcome now that the treasure had an owner, especially when that owner was the Three Pure Ones, united as one.

Empress Nuwa remained silent. She shook her head softly and put away her spiritual treasures. Old Ancestor Ming He's Blood Sea surged, but in the end, he snorted coldly and vanished into the void.

A trace of unwillingness flashed through Demon Master Kun Peng's eyes, but he knew there was nothing to be done and quietly withdrew. Zhen Yuan Zi sighed and departed as well.

A battle for a Primordial Supreme Treasure that had gathered nearly all the foremost great powers of the Primordial World finally came to a complete end.

The Western Teachings obtained the Jade Disk of Creation fragment, while Ming Xin comprehended the Red Dust Great Dao, causing his strength to soar.

The Three Pure Ones acquired the Chaos Green Lotus. Fate had revealed itself, the supreme treasures had returned to their rightful places, and their Sage might grew even greater. Only the Demon Clan Heavenly Court had mobilized in full force yet gained nothing, instead making powerful enemies and being left with nothing but resentment and helplessness.

The Three Pure Ones looked at one another, profound Dao Rhyme flowing through each of their eyes. Laozi said calmly, "This matter is settled. Let us return."

Three rays of Sage light rose, ignoring the remaining chaotic currents as they drifted toward Kunlun Mountain.

The phenomenon of "Red Flower, White Lotus Root, Green Lotus Leaf" slowly faded behind them, yet the proverb, "The Three Teachings were originally one family," was deeply engraved into this Chaos and into the hearts of every witness.

But how long could the bond of one family endure amid the magnificent tides of the Primordial World to come? Perhaps this was the beginning of another story.
