The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

After the sermon, Taibai went directly to Taiqing Palace, where the Three Pure Ones had been waiting for a long time.

"This disciple pays respects to the three teachers."

"No need for formalities. Take it out, and the three of us will help you activate the undying spiritual light within that fragment of the magical treasure."

Before Taibai could even explain his purpose, his thoughts were already seen through at a glance.

He looked at Yuanshi and Tongtian, and saw that the two masters also nodded slightly, their expressions knowing.

Only then did Taibai truly understand the omniscience and omniknowledge of a sage.

He had clearly used the Twelfth-Grade Pure White Lotus to conceal his presence from the three fragments, yet they were still detected.

It is likely that the two Western Saints and the Goddess Nuwa also sensed something, but out of respect for the Three Pure Ones, they did not come to ask for it.

"The three teachers are extremely discerning; indeed, among the sages of the primordial era, none can surpass them."

Taibai said no more. With a thought, the Pure White Lotus emerged from his primordial spirit, its heart radiating light, and three ancient fragments slowly rose.

The three Pure Ones simultaneously raised their hands, each unleashing their magical power, and each corresponding to a fragment.

Under the power of the sage, the dim patterns on the surface of the fragment gradually lit up, and the undying spiritual light was slowly awakened.

In just a moment, the three fragments began to glow with spiritual light.

Taiqing Laozi gathered the three fragments together in mid-air, and Taiqing Immortal Light surged from his palm to envelop them.

The fragments slowly approached in the celestial light, with subtle ripples spreading at their edges. The cracks gradually healed, and the aura also rose accordingly.

Li Bai gazed intently at it, secretly marveling at its beauty.

What alarmed him even more was that even if it was just three fragments coming back together,

The spiritual pressure it emitted was no less than that of an ordinary mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, and it seemed to have the power to swallow the heavens and earth.

"This treasure is called the Devouring Heaven Treasure. If you can find the remaining fragments and restore them to their original state, its power will reach the level of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

While repairing the magical artifact, Taiqing explained it to Taibai.

Upon hearing that the complete spiritual treasure was actually a chaotic spiritual treasure, Taibai's eyes immediately shone brightly.

That is an existence that surpasses even the most innate treasures, and its power can even be compared with the Taiji Diagram and other creation treasures.

"May I ask the three teachers, how many fragments does this treasure contain? And why was it broken into this state?"

After Taibai asked the question, he saw that Taiqing Laozi frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's figure flickered and he silently left the Taiqing Palace, appearing above Mount Kunlun.

"This treasure was originally named the Devouring Heaven Treasure Bottle, and it was originally the companion spirit treasure of the Chaos Demon God who devoured other demon gods."

During the great calamity of creation, this treasure was shattered by the axe of the Father God Pangu, breaking into nine fragments that were scattered to the four corners of the earth.

"It's actually the companion spirit treasure of the Chaos Demon God!"

Taibai's heart burned even hotter, and he quickly pressed on, "Does Master Yuanshi know the whereabouts of the remaining fragments?"

"Nine fragments are scattered in various places, and their appearance is no different from ordinary pebbles. The secrets of heaven are obscured, and it is difficult to deduce them."

If you are destined, you can sense each other through these three fragments and perhaps find clues.

However, these nine fragments may not all be within the primordial world.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Taibai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He originally thought that the Three Pure Ones were so powerful that they could calculate the location of the fragments, and he would be able to find them one by one.

Who would have thought that the companion spirit treasure of the Chaos Demon God was so difficult for even a sage to fully comprehend, and might even have been lost in the vast chaos.

Therefore, it seems that collecting all nine fragments to recreate the full power of this Chaos Treasure is a distant dream.

Suddenly, Mount Kunlun trembled violently, the shockwave alerting all the disciples of the three religions who were in seclusion.

Everyone emerged from the cave, looking towards the source of the tremor with surprise and uncertainty.

Taibai also awoke from his meditation with a start. He keenly sensed that this was no ordinary change in the earth's veins.

He immediately focused his mind and cautiously extended a wisp of divine thought outside the Taiqing Palace.

Above the heavens, Tongtian stood proudly atop the clouds, his body radiating sword energy that soared to the sky.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation has been deployed, with the phantoms of four towering giant swords guarding the four directions, and the chilling sword light enveloping the entire Eastern Kunlun.

Just then, disciples from the three religions, having heard the news, transformed into streaks of light and were about to fly towards Taiqing Palace to inquire.

Suddenly, the aura of Pangu burst forth from within the palace, and with a wave of the giant banner, its supreme power completely sealed off the entire Taiqing Palace.

"Teacher, this is..." Taibai, who was in the palace, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but speak up.

"Within the fragments lurks the resentment of the Devouring Demon God."

It had seized the opportunity to devour the magical power we had poured into it, and now it had awakened. We must not let it escape this hall.

Upon hearing this, Taibai immediately took several steps back.

The Devouring Demon God was a Primordial Golden Immortal who roamed the chaos before the creation of the world. Even if only a wisp of resentment remains, he should not be underestimated.

What's more, it had just devoured the magical power of three saints, and a chill crept up his spine.

The next moment, Taiqing had already repaired the three fragments into a small half of the treasure bottle.

And indeed, wisps of purple energy emerged from the treasure bottle, and began to condense into a human figure.

A maniacal shriek erupted from the humanoid mist formed from purple energy, the sound piercing the primordial spirit and carrying the endless hatred of the chaotic era.

Even the aftershocks were enough to shatter Taibai's soul, causing blood to seep from his seven orifices.

"Keep your mind calm and focused, don't let him influence you!"

With a clear shout, Yuanshi Tianzun swept up Taibai with a flick of his sleeve and sent him out of Taiqing Palace in an instant.

Outside the palace, a large number of disciples from the three religions, who were filled with surprise and uncertainty, had already gathered around Taibai as he staggered into view.

"Senior Brother, what happened in Taiqing Palace?"

"Senior Brother, why did Master Tongtian set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation on Kunlun Mountain?"

"Senior Brother, what happened to you? Who hurt you?"

"Senior Brother, has the Demon Court or the Witch Clan attacked our Kunlun Mountain?"

……

Despite the ringing in his head and the pain in his body, Taibai wiped the blood from his face, took a deep breath, and solemnly said:

"It's nothing. There's a change in the palace right now, which is beyond your control."

Everyone must immediately return to their respective caves, close the doors tightly, and silently recite the Yellow Court Classic. No one may leave without receiving the decree!

Seeing his unprecedentedly grim expression and the injuries he had sustained from the shock, the disciples knew that the situation must be extremely serious and dangerous.

The crowd immediately complied, transforming into streaks of light and quickly dissipating, returning to their caves to activate the restrictions, and daring not to explore further.

Outside Taiqing Palace, in an instant, only Taibai remained.

He gazed at the Taiqing Palace, his heart burning with anxiety, yet he could not perceive what was happening inside.

That level of confrontation was completely beyond his comprehension.

However, despite his anxiety, Taibai remained calm.

He knew that although the purple mist was extremely fierce, it was essentially a wisp of resentment from a chaotic demon god, without any origin or source.

The masters within the palace are all sages of the Heavenly Dao, whose cultivation has reached the pinnacle of creation and whose primordial spirit resides in the void. They are also protected by the supreme treasures of creation, thus being invincible from the outset.

At worst, it would only alarm the Heavenly Dao, which would then use its overwhelming divine power to completely suppress it.

At that time, the secret of the Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Bottle may be difficult to preserve, but there is absolutely no danger of its collapse.

At this moment, all he could do was wait quietly and guard the palace gates for his master.
