Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Chapter 179 Qinglian: How dare this unfilial son steal the treasure? Cut off his thieving hand!

East Kunlun.

Yuxu Palace.

After more than 300,000 years of seclusion, Yuanshi finally digested what he had learned from his third hearing of the Dao.

"Um?--"

"Is it the Eastern King Duke again?"

Upon noticing that the Celestial Court's envoy had once again arrived in East Kunlun, Yuanshi Cha Bu Ke Jue frowned.

Ever since Dongwanggong was bestowed the title of "Head of All Male Immortals," he has been actively trying to win over and befriend the Three Pure Ones, but he has always been met with indifference.

Yuanshi was extremely annoyed and often refused under the pretext of going into seclusion.

"Humph--"

"He managed to sever two corpses through communication and break through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint. Has the Eastern King Duke gotten too cocky?"

Upon receiving the invitation from He Tong, Yuan Shi saw the information contained within it, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

When Dongwanggong stood up for him and rebuked Kunpeng, helping him out of a predicament, Yuanshi had a very good impression of him.

Now that he has been accepted as a personal disciple by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and appointed as the Sage of Heaven, he has begun to look down on the Eastern King Duke who flatters him.

"Second brother—"

Taiqing Laozi noticed that he had come out of seclusion and went directly to Yuxu Palace.

"Greetings, elder brother!"

Yuanshi held Taiqing Laozi in high esteem and bowed respectfully upon meeting him.

"The invitation from the Eastern King Duke to discuss the Dao is also a gesture of goodwill. My two brothers and I can take this opportunity to travel around the primordial world and see if we can find a breakthrough opportunity!"

Upon seeing the gold-embossed invitation in his second brother's hand, Taiqing Laozi instantly understood the reason and took the initiative to suggest going to the Eastern Sea Immortal Court to accept the invitation to the Eastern King Duke's Daoist exchange conference.

"Brother——"

"The Celestial Court is now expanding rapidly, like oil being poured on a raging fire. If we take the initiative to contact the Eastern King Duke, will we be dragged into the 'Struggle for the Mandate of Heaven'?"

All along——

The reason why the Three Pure Ones refused the Eastern King Duke's attempts to win them over was because they were afraid of being drawn into the Great Tribulation.

This is a sensitive time.

Why does my elder brother still want to take the initiative to contact the Celestial Court?
"Second brother!——"

Taiqing Laozi looked at Yuanshi with a serious expression.

"Dongwanggong has always treated the Three Pure Ones with great respect. Even when the teacher first gave his sermon, he did not hesitate to stand up for you."

"In this respect, the Three Pure Ones owe him a favor!"

"Although we don't want to get involved in the Great Tribulation, there's no need to coldly reject his goodwill. We can always repay his favor after the 'Great Dao Conflict' between him and Di Jun and Tai Yi is over!"

It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.

After his teacher Hongjun finished his third sermon, he had already foreseen that Dongwanggong would inevitably be defeated by the Heavenly Emperor Dijun and Taiyi!
otherwise--

Given the orthodox lineage of the primordial world he established and the 'Immortal Court' that governs the immortal path, why is his teacher unwilling to even grant him the status of a nominal disciple?

To know--

The Celestial Court was established with the teacher's approval.

Moreover, it promotes the majesty of the "immortal path" and is closely related to the teacher's "Dao"!
Even with such a complementary and orthodox ruler, the teacher preferred to accept the demon Nuwa as his true disciple rather than the Eastern King Duke, the ruler of the Celestial Court, which is enough to show that he was not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of ruling the prehistoric world.

That being the case——

Then, before the Celestial Court and the Demon Race erupt into a 'battle for destiny,' let's express our gratitude to the Eastern King Duke and thus safeguard the reputation of the Three Pure Ones.

If the Eastern King is unfortunately defeated and killed, then do everything in your power to protect even a wisp of his spirit.

When the tunnel is born in the future, we will send him to be reincarnated.

To fully repay the debts and favors owed to us in the past!

"good!--"

"As you say, elder brother!"

Yuanshi nodded seriously after hearing Taiqing Laozi's advice.

A thousand years later—

The Three Pure Ones arrived together at the Celestial Court.

Taiqing Laozi presented a pot of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

He thoroughly digested what he had learned from his teacher Hongjun's teachings, and then perfected the 'Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Formula' with his own inherited Dao. He successfully refined the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir using Huangzhong Li as the main ingredient.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and the Yellow Plum have similar effects, but there are significant differences between them.

Huang Zhongli faces the risk of his body exploding and dying after taking the medicine, and his potential is exhausted after breaking through to the Great Luo realm, making it difficult for him to advance any further in his life.

After taking the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir—

Not only do you not have to worry about exploding and dying, but you also have the opportunity to replenish your depleted Dao Origin and have the chance to advance further in the future. This can be described as a top-level elixir that countless ordinary innate saints dream of!

"Welcome, fellow Daoists!"

Upon learning that the Three Pure Ones had been invited, the Eastern King was overjoyed and personally came to the outside of the Celestial Court to greet them.

After exchanging warm greetings and pleasantries, the two entered the Celestial Palace together.

Many of the guests from Zixiao were quite surprised to see the Three Pure Ones arrive, and then took the initiative to come forward to greet them.

They are not only direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor, but also the three future Heavenly Dao Saints. It would certainly be of great benefit to befriend them.

Yuan Shi was quite arrogant and treated those who tried to curry favor with him with indifference.

Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian were much more dignified, maintaining their own demeanor and style without making others feel unapproachable, which earned them even more admiration from their fellow practitioners.

Not long after——

The Eastern King Duke took the initiative to propose a discussion on the Dao.

"Wow—"

All the Great Luo Dao Masters and Quasi-Saints unleashed their own Dao Fruits, and the immense power of countless Great Dao Laws and Rules permeated the air, giving rise to all sorts of extraordinary Great Dao phenomena.

Auspicious purple clouds rise from the east, and the flowers of Taoism fall in unison.

A myriad of rays of light shone forth, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

Countless people benefited greatly from this discussion, and two Celestial Court Grand Luo Immortals broke through to Quasi-Saint status by severing their corpses, earning the envy and congratulations of many.

After the discussion concluded, the Eastern King Duke took the initiative to explain what he had gained from slaying the 'evil corpse' and breaking through.

The 'evil corpse' is not about committing evil deeds, but about recognizing one's own evil thoughts and then using great perseverance to cut them off, so that one's Dao heart becomes closer and closer to the Dao of Heaven, thereby attaining the status of a Daoist saint.

The Three Pure Ones all benefited greatly from the selfless teachings of the Eastern King Duke.

They were already stuck at the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage, but after digesting what the Eastern King Duke had gained from slaying the 'evil corpse,' they vaguely saw hope for their breakthrough.

Next-

They bid farewell to the Eastern King and traveled together through the primordial wilderness, searching for an opportunity to break through.

As they traveled to the southeastern part of the prehistoric world, they suddenly sensed a powerful primordial light soaring into the sky.

"Ha ha--"

"This treasure is destined to be with the Three Pure Ones!"

Yuan Shi laughed heartily.

Having just returned from the Celestial Court and embarked on a journey of cultivation, he encountered a fortuitous opportunity. If this opportunity did not belong to him, to whom else could it belong?

“Swish!——”

“Swish!——”

When the Three Pure Ones traversed the endless void dimensions and descended to the place where the innate treasure light burst forth, they immediately saw a peerless, elegant, holy, and noble figure in azure blue standing beside them.

The three of them narrowed their eyes simultaneously, as a bloodline suppression originating from the very source of the Great Dao emerged.

"Blue Lotus? —"

The Primordial Dao Body trembled slightly.

The scene of being killed in Kunlun involuntarily flashed into my mind.

"Ah--"

Seeing the Three Pure Ones arrive through a fortuitous encounter, Qinglian gently outlined her full, lustrous, and translucent red lips, revealing an air of supreme dominance and aloof nobility that made people tremble and submit.

"Greetings, Taoist Qinglian!——"

Taiqing Laozi came to his senses and took the initiative to step forward and bow in greeting.

Although she had previously controlled the will of the Father God to kill her second brother's true form and even scolded herself, the Three Pure Ones, as an unfilial son, in terms of bloodline origin, she could indeed be considered her elder.

Taking the initiative to step forward and bow is not a disgrace to oneself.

"call out!--"

"call out!--"

next moment.

Qinglian gently gestured with her sleeve.

Three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, radiating an incomparably powerful aura, floated in front of the Three Pure Ones.

"Back then, you were tricked by Hongjun into dismembering my body. For the sake of my brother, I can let it go, but I must take back those three top-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

The Panlong Cane, the Jade Ruyi, and the Qingping Sword are all transformed from the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus, and are part of the Green Lotus's own innate Great Dao origin.

If she can retrieve and refine it, not only will she be able to advance to the level of a Chaos Demon God, but she may even have the hope of taking her cultivation path to the next level!
“Fellow Daoist Qinglian, it’s not that I’m unwilling to return the ‘Qingping Sword,’ but that I have already used it as a vessel for severing my corpse, and it has long since merged with my own innate Dao origin.”

"If we forcibly destroy the 'good corpse' and replace it, our innate Dao source will be severely damaged. In the future, not only will our path be destroyed, but it will also be difficult to make any further progress!"

Tongtian gave a wry smile.

He didn't want to be enemies with this 'aunt,' but he also wouldn't cut off his own path!
"My third brother is right—"

“When we finally unite our three corpses and attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, we will return this Coiled Dragon Staff, Jade Ruyi, and Green Lotus Sword to you, fellow Daoist. How about that?”

Looking at the aloof and noble Qinglian, Taiqing Laozi offered a sincere suggestion.

"By the time you attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, everything will be over!"

Qinglian's clear and bright eyes radiated a cold and indifferent look. The boundless laws of creation appeared and disappeared. Under the vibration of the innate treasure light beside her, her three thousand black hairs fluttered in the wind.

"Then what do you want the Three Pure Ones to do? Are you suggesting we risk severing our own paths to restore the Great Dao's origin for you?"

Yuanshi coldly questioned, and the sharp and fierce rules of the Great Dao permeated out, resisting her supreme rules of creation.

"That's enough!"

"Wait until I find a solution!"

With a wave of her hand, Qinglian retrieved the three top-grade innate spiritual treasures that were floating in front of them.

Although she resented the Three Pure Ones for disgracing their brotherhood and willingly serving as Hongjun's puppets, she also knew that they were not the culprits who dismembered her body.

It is indeed too difficult to ask them to return the corpse-slaying magic weapon now.

"Wow—"

When the innate precious light dissipates.

A top-grade innate spiritual treasure, shaped like a Daoist robe, manifested in the center of the great formation.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately wanted to use his Great Dao Divine Power to control it.

"Snapped--"

In a blink of an eye——

A streak of azure divine light flashed past.

The divine power of the Great Dao that Yuanshi had just used was instantly shattered, and a bloody mark appeared on his right hand, filled with terrifying power of the Great Dao of Creation.

"Om-"

Yuanshi immediately used his supernatural powers to forcibly erase the power of creation and life from the wound.

"Second brother!——"

"Second brother!——"

Upon seeing this, Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian immediately took precautions.

"Humph--"

"so rude!"

"You dare to steal my treasure?"

Qinglian snorted coldly and looked at Yuanshi with disdain.

　I'd appreciate a few recommendation votes, thank you everyone!
