The Response to the Three Stars

What is Samsung?

"Samsung represents the sun, moon, and stars in the universe; it can also represent heaven, earth, and humanity!"

The question posed by Laojun Shu Qing Shen was very simple, and regardless of the answer Zhang Xuezhou chose to give, it was generally sufficient to meet the basic requirements.

Whether Laojun's purification technique will lead to his involvement in Zhang Xuezhou's affairs is another matter entirely.

If you insert yourself into the situation, whether you use one part, three parts, five or seven parts of force, it will all depend on the answer.

According to Laojun Tzu's teachings on purifying the body, those who intervene in matters of cause and effect will inevitably bear the consequences.

This is not his business of cause and effect. If Laojun Shuqing wanted to intervene, he would need to be tainted by enough cause and effect and also need to see the benefits that cause and effect bring.

The question he asked was about divination.

This was the first time Zhang Xuezhou had encountered this kind of divination technique. While he was somewhat curious, he also took it seriously, trying his best to give an answer that would satisfy the other party.

"Where we're from, we also have the concept of three stars representing fortune, prosperity, and longevity, as well as three stars representing destiny, luck, and feng shui!"

Zhang Xuezhou discussed expanding thinking with Brahma, and he felt that Samsung's answer was too broad, covering all kinds of ambiguous content.

"He can transform into the Three Pure Ones with a single breath, so am I supposed to pair him with Laojun and Laozi to make a three-star combination...?"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't hold back in his speech; instead, he mentioned various three stars during the discussion, thus observing Laojun's reaction to the purification technique.

To his disappointment, Laojun Shu Qing's body was like an ancient tree that had never blossomed in ten thousand years, showing no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

It was as if the other party only released their emotions the moment they broke out of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, and had no emotions at other times.

Zhang Xuezhou had intended to Ren Anran's example of transforming into the Three Pure Ones as a polite gesture, but Laojun's method of purification was completely unconventional. He directly posed a question and then determined the outcome based on the answer.

The other party seems to have some interest in metaphysics, or perhaps they are caught up in some kind of obsession, or maybe they have comprehended some kind of rule, which is why this absurd situation has occurred.

"Rules? Could they be Principle related to voyeurism?"

After repeated unsuccessful attempts, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but ponder the various possibilities of Laojun's purification techniques.

He was once caught in the river of fate and could observe the possible fate of others under special circumstances. Zhang Manqian also had a similar ability to spy, which led to various unusual behaviors.

The absurd act of Laojun's self-purification technique must have a specific purpose.

"The three-star answer he wants probably involves the future outcome, that is, the three states of past, present, and future. He asked about the past related to snake grass, is currently making choices, and also hopes to see the direction of the future!"

Having abandoned the traditional view of Samsung, Zhang Xuezhou rationally assessed the situation before revealing his answer.

"The West Ox Hezhou has Three Realms: one is called the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, also known as Mount Ling; another is called the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, now known as Mount Milu; and the third is the Central Saha World where I reside," Laojun Shuqing said. "These Three Realms are the omen of the three stars, containing the opportunity to transcend the mortal realm and attain sainthood!"

So you mean I answered incorrectly?

Zhang Xuezhou looked stunned. He never expected that the three stars were the names of three secret places in Xiniu Hezhou.

The names of these secret places have changed many times. After the vicissitudes of time, few people know their original names, let alone what fortuitous opportunity they conceal.

"You and I are destined to meet, and you possess great fortune. I want to see if you can bring about an opportunity," Laojun said, "It seems I had too high expectations!"

"I didn't come to West Ox Hezhou to seek fortuitous opportunity. But if you have any fortuitous opportunity you need me to find, I will definitely help you find them!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, feeling that communicating with the other party was like playing tai chi, and it would be better to just give him a straight answer. If Zhang Xuezhou could do something, he would definitely do it; if he couldn't, he would mention his own difficulties so that both sides could accept it.

"Fortuitous opportunity are never found," Laojun said, his magic clearing his body. "If it belongs to you, you will encounter it in the cave; if it does not belong to you, you cannot keep it no matter how hard you try to hide it, and you may even turn a deaf ear to it and a blind eye to it!"

"Are you perhaps referring to the origin of the Three Realms?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously.

"The origin?"

Laojun Shu Qing let out a long sigh.

Times have changed, and so have the names of the definitions. He accepted the definition given by Zhang Xuezhou after only a second of thought.

"This thing... it's really nothing!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about Tiger Feather in the real world and ultimately felt that the origin was just so-so.

The origin is certainly very powerful and a top-tier fortuitous opportunity, but once you've seen it, you won't fall into a dreamlike perception and place all your hopes for the world on its origin.

At least Zhang Xuezhou never placed his hopes entirely on the origin of the world, nor did he have any particular intention of acquiring the origin of the world and slowly refining it for a hundred years before stepping into a completely unfamiliar world across dimensions.

If Hu Yu could remain quiet and not cause any trouble, Zhang Xuezhou felt he would likely ignore it. He figured the other party would take the benefits and leave the real world, and he would simply pretend he had never seen such a cultivator.

As for the origin of the Three Realms, that was not what Zhang Xuezhou thought. He gestured to indicate that the origin of the Three Realms was nothing special and there was no need to be too attached to it.

"By slowly healing with Spiritual Qi, you can definitely cleanse your body of impurities. There's no need to rely on the origin of the Three Realms," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you were to obtain the origin, your strength might not be enough to protect such a treasure, and the long process of refining it could bring you great danger!"

"Oh?"

Laojun's Shu Qing looked at Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, whose answer to "three stars" was completely irrelevant, and he certainly didn't covet the opportunity to enter the Holy Contract.

However, the other party remained very calm after learning the situation, seemingly not valuing this incredible fortuitous opportunity.

Top cultivators in the Three Realms are obsessed with such fortuitous opportunity like mad dogs, but he never expected there to be such an oddball as Zhang Xuezhou who doesn't care at all.

What do you want to do through me? And what do you want in return?

"Are you going to start helping me now?"

When Laojun Shuqing spoke, Zhang Xuezhou quickly took the bag off his back and took out the Investiture of the Gods.

"Take a look at this treasure," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Once this Law Treasure is unsealed, it will induce another Law Treasure to release its power, thus bringing me danger. So I was wondering if you have any method that would allow me to control it as well!"

You mean to say?

"The Investiture of the Gods has become a Technique Method medium for casting spells. Removing the Investiture of the Gods will lock onto me, and I might even be subjected to powerful soul manipulation. I have a friend named Nezha who is not afraid of soul-based Technique Method, and I want him to take the blame for me," Zhang Xuezhou said bluntly. "I hope you can cover for me and let me get through this difficult time!"

"Oh?"

Laojun Shu Qingshen exclaimed in surprise.

Few cultivators can use the Investiture of the Gods as a medium to cast spells; only a dozen or so at the top of the Three Realms can do so.

Zhang Xuezhou's request was certainly demanding, but not impossible to fulfill.

The other party has also found the right direction; he can indeed help Zhang Xuezhou.
