Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Led by Sanqing, the group arrived at the outside of the Sanqing Hall.

The Three Pure Ones, each with their own distinct Daoist aura—Laozi serene, Yuanshi majestic, and Tongtian sharp—met in the void. No words were needed, not even divine thought; a fundamental resonance had already stirred within their shared origin. The Three Pure Ones nodded, took a step forward, gazed at the heavens, and simultaneously proclaimed:

"Heaven's will is above, and the Great Way bears witness."

"I am one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu. Now the primordial world is in turmoil, the four cardinal directions are unstable, and the five elements are in chaos. I hereby establish the Five Spirits of Heaven and Earth, regulate the earth's veins, guard the four directions and the center, harmonize Yin and Yang, and regulate the five elements, so as to... complete the Heavenly Way and stabilize the primordial world."

"The wood element of the East, represented by Jia and Yi, rises and flourishes, governing life. It should be protected by the Azure Dragon, which brings clouds and rain and governs the vitality of spring."

The light trail at his fingertips moved, turning south: "The south is associated with the fire element of Bing and Ding, whose energy rises upwards and governs growth. It should be guarded by the Vermilion Bird, which controls the fire and governs the yang, overseeing the prosperity of summer."

Turning to the west: "The metal of Geng and Xin in the west has a somber and killing aura, and is responsible for gathering. It should be suppressed by the White Tiger, which is in charge of troops and killing, and governs the desolation of autumn."

Finally, it points to the north: "The north is associated with the water of Ren and Gui, whose qi flows downwards and is associated with storage. There should be a Black Tortoise to guard it, controlling the water and protecting the deep, and governing the hibernation of winter."

"The Earth Qilin governs the Central Plains, embodying virtue and carrying all things, harmonizing the four corners of the earth!" The last sentence was almost a long roar from the Three Pure Ones, shaking Kunlun and spreading throughout the eight wastelands.

"Buzz..."

A monotonous, long, trembling sound, seemingly originating from the beginning and end of time, resounded directly from the deepest part of the true spirit of all living things, and enveloped the primordial world.

At the very top of the heavens, where the primordial chaos and the pure spiritual energy once intertwined, the void silently... "opened."

That was not an eye in the ordinary sense. It had no flesh and blood, no pupil, and not even a fixed shape. It was a "crack," a "rift" that stretched across the highest heavens, its length and width indescribable. It was more like a scar on space itself, or the ultimate focal point where all the regular lines converged and twisted.

"The Eye of Heaven!"

Feeling the oppressive aura above his head and seeing the eye appear in the sky, Xuanbao naturally knew that this was the Eye of Heaven. However, seeing this Eye of Heaven made Xuanbao feel strange from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know where to begin...

The focus of the Heavenly Eye's "gaze" first fell on the summit of Kunlun, the source of this great change—the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones remained calm and composed, steadily bearing the might of the Heavenly Dao. After a moment, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao emitted a strange fluctuation, seemingly acknowledging this decision.

A thunderous roar echoed throughout the primordial world... Endless merit descended, with forty percent falling upon the Three Pure Ones, one percent upon Xuanbao's head, and fifty percent upon the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Earth Qilin. Instantly, the karma that had been entangled on the five beasts was rapidly consumed by the merit, and their cultivation levels advanced by leaps and bounds.

The chosen Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin were instantly elevated to the Quasi-Saint realm by the power of the Heavenly Dao. Of course, the strength of this Quasi-Saint could only be unleashed within the Primordial World. Subsequently, the beasts were instantly pulled to various parts of the Primordial World by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The world was in flux, and five powerful spiritual energies surged from all corners of the primordial wilderness, converging in the five directions of east, west, south, north, and center.

In the East, at the bottom of the endless deep sea, the ancient innate wood spirit energy gathered wildly. A vast, majestic, and infinitely vibrant dragon roar pierced through the nine layers of sea and soared into the sky! A colossal azure dragon shadow appeared proudly in the depths of the East Sea. Its scales were as blue as the ancient waves, and its eyes were as bright as the sun and moon. Its form was not yet fully solidified, but the power to rule the East and control spring and rain had already been bestowed upon it!

In the south, at the core of the immortal volcano group, the dormant innate fire essence suddenly erupted, and a clear, stirring cry, carrying the meaning of burning everything and being reborn, resounded throughout the universe! Crimson flames shot into the sky, transforming into a magnificent phantom of a Vermilion Bird with flowing tail feathers, and the authority of Xia Chang was instantly imprinted on its form!

In the west, at the ancestral source of the wild Gengjin mineral vein, the sharp and ruthless innate metal energy solidified into substance. A resounding, cold tiger's roar, imbued with supreme killing intent and restraining will, shook the mountains! Platinum light pierced the sky, and a white tiger phantom with wings on its back and a body forged from snow-white blades stood proudly atop the mountain, the authority of the autumn harvest naturally surrendering to it!

In the north, the icy chill of the Netherworld mingled with the source of all waters, and a deep, resonant roar, seemingly emanating from the deepest part of the earth and the end of the Ice Age, echoed across the Arctic ice plains! Black water surged, lifting up the phantom of a colossal beast, its shell like a continent bearing the weight of a tortoise and snake, clearly revealing the authority of winter's dormancy!

In the center, at the core of the primordial land, the most profound, vast, and vibrant region, deep within the soil trampled by countless beings and bearing billions of races, a powerful, gentle, and indescribably vast essence of the Wuji earth and a benevolent aura surged into the sky! There was no deafening roar, only a deep, resonant sound, like a sigh from Mother Earth, that soothed all things. A phantom of a benevolent beast with a dragon's head, deer antlers, lion's eyes, tiger's back, bear's waist, snake scales, and ox's tail slowly rose from the earth. It was draped in five colors, its hooves untouched by dust, its gaze kind and wise. The supreme authority of the central Wuji earth, bearing and nurturing, harmonizing the four directions, rested firmly on its shoulders, just as the earth itself did.

The five sacred beasts—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Qilin—raised their heads in unison towards the summit of Kunlun and the manifested golden inscriptions of the Great Dao, issuing a resonant roar that proclaimed their existence and echoed the laws of heaven and earth!

"roar--!!!"

"Eh-!!!"

"Awooo—!!!"

"hold head high--!!!"

"Moo—!!!"

Five long howls, each with distinct attributes, miraculously intertwined to form a harmonious and magnificent symphony, instantly spreading to every corner of the primordial world.

With the emergence of the five elements of heaven and earth, the primordial world became more stable, and even the innate spiritual energy erupted, greatly benefiting all the myriad races of the primordial world.

Since Xuanbao also gained a layer of merit, the merit wheel that was originally somewhat dim in the seventh circle was now filled. The seven merit wheels behind him were quite dazzling, which stunned the people of the other five clans. The dazzling merit almost blinded them.

Just as everyone was marveling at Xuanbao's dazzling golden wheel of merit.

"Buzz!"

Having gained considerable merit from the Heavenly Dao, the Three Pure Ones felt as if something was being drawn out of their bodies. With a roar, a wisp of extremely yellow energy, almost transforming into orange, overflowed from their sea of ​​consciousness... and three flowers bloomed simultaneously above their heads, revealing three 12th-grade Pure World White Lotuses.

The term "Great Merit" spontaneously arose in everyone's minds!

This is the great merit that Pangu gained from creating the primordial world! It is the legacy left by Pangu to the Three Pure Ones after the creation of the world!

The merits of creation were directly integrated into the three flowers of heaven, earth, and man... The three 12-grade Pure World White Lotuses shattered instantly, gradually becoming ethereal and disintegrating. However, with the influx of a large amount of merits from creation, they were re-condensed into a 24-grade Pure World White Lotus.

"Three corpses united as one!"

Xuanbao was secretly shocked by the scene before him. Although he knew that his three masters would soon become saints, the speed was still beyond his expectations.

However, the most perplexed person at this moment was none other than Hongjun inside the Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun was completely bewildered. What had happened?

The Three Pure Ones inexplicably established the Five Spirits of Heaven and Earth, and inexplicably activated the creation merit within their bodies. Most importantly, what are those nine 12-grade Pure World White Lotuses on the heads of the Three Pure Ones? How could there be so many Pure World White Lotuses in the primordial world?

However, he then turned his gaze toward Buzhou Mountain: "Pangu, Pangu, you once cut me into several pieces, such a great enmity that blocked my path..."

Although you have already transcended life and death, I never expected you to have left so many contingency plans for the Three Pure Ones.

At this point, Hongjun could only imagine that the development of events was all a backup plan by Pangu...
