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

Nuwa saw that Xuanbao was still blinking blankly, so she couldn't help but pat his shoulder again, this time with a lighter touch and a hint of mischief: "What's wrong? You think it's a disservice to have me as your older sister? So many people want to have this kind of connection but can't."

Xuanbao snapped out of his daze and quickly waved his hand: "I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged, it's just... it was too sudden."

"Brother," Nuwa called out naturally, tapping her chin lightly with her fingertips as if deep in thought, "why did you say there was a problem with the Primordial Purple Qi?"

Xuanbao sorted out his thoughts and then repeated to Nuwa what Jin had told the Three Pure Ones.

Nuwa listened quietly, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. She pondered and said, "What you say makes sense. The Primordial Purple Qi has always been regarded as the foundation for becoming a saint. But if there are any hidden secrets within it, then it is not something we can bear."

Nuwa looked at Xuanbao, her eyes full of admiration. "Little brother, you are so perceptive, able to notice the anomaly. You are truly exceptionally intelligent." Xuanbao was a little embarrassed by the praise and scratched his head, saying, "I was just guessing; I have no concrete evidence."

Nuwa gently shook her head: "The speculation is not unfounded, and this matter should not be underestimated. In the primordial world, various forces are eager to make their moves, all eyeing that Primordial Purple Qi. If there is really a problem, who knows how many disputes it will cause."

"How can I attain sainthood and become a saint now?" Nuwa asked, somewhat bewildered.

Xuanbao had already thought it through. Now that Nuwa was practically one of his own, the stronger Nuwa was, the better. So Xuanbao decided not to hide anything anymore and told Nuwa everything about cultivating the three methods simultaneously.

Nuwa: "...You can do that?"

Nuwa listened to Xuanbao's analysis, her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a hint of realization and a deeper curiosity. "Oh? Cultivating three methods simultaneously... This is the first time I've heard of such a comprehensive concept." Her gaze shifted, landing on Xuanbao with a mixture of inquiry and anticipation.

"Sister. This method of severing the three corpses was passed down by Hongjun. It is for the purpose of achieving self-perfection. It involves severing the three corpses of good, evil, and the true self, and then achieving sainthood by unifying the three corpses. However, the prerequisite is that you need a spiritual treasure of the same origin to sever the three corpses in order to achieve the unification of the three corpses."

Xuanbao paused, and seeing Nuwa nod slightly, continued, "To become a saint through the laws is to align with the Heavenly Dao. Under the Heavenly Dao, laws are like a net, encompassing all things. Choose the law that resonates most with you and that you understand most deeply, and continuously comprehend and master it until you merge with the law, and your words become law. This method can greatly mobilize the power of heaven and earth, possessing boundless supernatural powers. Like the Dao of Creation that you, sister, wield, if you can reach its ultimate level, a single thought can create all things, a single thought can change mountains and rivers—that is the sacred power of the laws."

Nuwa seemed lost in thought, her fingertips unconsciously tracing patterns on her sleeve, as if she were deducing the infinite mysteries of the laws of creation.

"As for achieving sainthood through merit, there's no need to elaborate," Xuanbao said solemnly. "However, the most crucial thing right now is that your Corpse-Severing Spiritual Treasure is not a Spiritual Treasure of the Same Origin. You still need to disintegrate your body and use a Spiritual Treasure of the Same Origin to sever your corpse again." As he spoke, Xuanbao took out three 12th-grade Pure World White Lotuses and placed them in front of Nuwa. The meaning was clear: use these 12th-grade Pure World White Lotuses to sever the corpse again.

As for the origin of these Pure World White Lotuses, they were enhanced from sixth-grade white lotuses. However, the price was that the Xuanbao had basically exhausted the treasure energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years, which can be described as going back to square one overnight.

"A top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Pure World White Lotus!" Nuwa was also greatly surprised when she saw the three 12th-grade Pure World White Lotuses in front of her. These were three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and they were all the same type of innate spiritual treasure.

Nuwa was filled with shock and emotion. She hadn't expected Xuanbao to be so considerate of her, offering such a precious treasure to help her. Nuwa looked up at Xuanbao, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Brother, such a great gift, I don't know how to thank you."

Xuanbao smiled and waved his hand, "Sister, don't be so polite. As siblings, we should support each other." Nuwa took a deep breath and solemnly put away the three 12th-grade Pure World White Lotuses, saying, "With these Pure World White Lotuses, I have the confidence to sever my corpse again. When I attain sainthood, I will never forget my brother's kindness today."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Xuanbao saw Nuwa's impatient look and quickly called out to stop her, then took out a bottle of holy water and placed it in Nuwa's hand.

"What is this?" Nuwa asked, her eyes filled with doubt as she saw the jade bottle that her younger brother, Xuanbao, had placed in her hand.

Xuanbao smiled and explained, "Sister, this is holy water. It has the effect of healing the primordial spirit and stabilizing the soul. Since you've dismembered your body and are now reattaching it, your vital energy will be greatly depleted. This holy water will help you recover your energy faster." Nuwa looked at the holy water in her hand, her heart warming even more, and she felt even more affection for her younger brother, Xuanbao. She gently stroked Xuanbao's head and said tenderly, "My brother is so thoughtful; what have I done to deserve this? With this holy water and the Pure White Lotus, I will surely be able to successfully attain enlightenment."

After saying this, Nuwa began preparations for dismembering the body.

Xuanbao stood guard by her side, his heart filled with anticipation, hoping that Nuwa would successfully attain enlightenment. Nuwa's body shone brightly as she began to unleash a secret technique, her aura causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Nuwa closed her eyes for a moment, her aura fluctuating, as if countless lights and shadows flickered around her—these were the illusory images of the three corpses she had severed—good, evil, and self—manifested through the spiritual treasures she had acquired in the past. She seemed to be weighing, deducing, and feeling the pain of nirvana and the opportunity for rebirth represented by the words "disintegration of the body."

After a long while, she opened her eyes. The confusion was gone, replaced by a radiant smile, like the first ray of light breaking through the chaos: "Very well. Now that I've acknowledged you as my brother and received such an opportunity and guidance, to be timid and hesitant would be a waste. Today, I will dismantle my three corpses and rebuild my sacred foundation!"

Nuwa's aura began to change dramatically. She sat cross-legged in the void, a massive Dao diagram of creation appearing beneath her, the yin and yang energies flowing, giving rise to earth, water, fire, and wind. Her face was solemn, her hands forming a mudra, and she softly uttered, "Slash!"

Before she finished speaking, auspicious clouds surged above her head, and three ethereal figures suddenly appeared—the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self corpse she had severed in the past. The three corpse figures were connected to her true self's aura, yet they relied on different innate spiritual treasures (not the Pure World White Lotus), resulting in a subtle sense of stagnation and obstruction.

"Disintegration!"

A resolute glint flashed in Nuwa's eyes. The Dao Diagram of Creation abruptly reversed, and a Daoist aura that annihilated all things and returned to the origin erupted from her body. The three illusory corpses trembled simultaneously, emitting a silent wail, before disintegrating inch by inch, transforming into the purest primordial energy, mixed with wisps of quasi-saint Daoist aura, and flowing back into Nuwa's true form.

"Pfft!" Nuwa's face paled, and she spat out a mouthful of pale golden holy blood. Her aura instantly weakened, and the Dao principles around her showed signs of instability. The disintegration of the Three Corpses was equivalent to severing a portion of her Dao Fruit, causing immense damage to her foundation.

Just then, the jade bottle that Xuanbao had given her earlier flew up automatically, the stopper opened, and a drop of crystal-clear "holy water" that exuded endless vitality and peaceful Daoist charm dripped down and entered Nuwa's brow.

"Buzz—"

The holy water entered her body like sweet rain falling on scorched earth. Nuwa's weakened aura immediately stabilized, and her damaged foundation was rapidly nourished and repaired by a warm, vast, and unimaginable power, becoming even stronger and more promising than before. Her depleted essence, energy, and spirit also recovered at an astonishing speed.

Nuwa was awestruck by the miraculous effects of this "holy water," but she had no time to think about it. Seizing this fleeting moment of optimal condition, she waved her jade hand, and three twelve-petaled white lotuses of purity flew out, swirling above her head in the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

"Using the lotus as witness, sever the three corpses once more! Slay the benevolent corpse!"

The first Pure White Lotus shone brightly, its petals unfurling. A phantom of a goddess, dressed in white with a compassionate and serene face, bearing a striking resemblance to Nuwa, stepped out from above Nuwa's head and merged into the white lotus. The white lotus's light faded, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into Nuwa's celebratory clouds.

"Evil Corpse, Slay!"

The second Pure White Lotus bloomed with a hazy gray light, and a black-clad, cold-faced goddess figure, emanating a sinister aura, separated from it and merged with the white lotus. They both returned to the auspicious clouds.

"Self-destruction, behead!"

The third Pure White Lotus shimmered with a clear light, and a phantom figure, almost identical to Nuwa herself but with a more detached and indifferent gaze, emerged and merged with the last white lotus.

The Three Corpses, relying on the Pure White Lotus of the same origin and quality, unleashed their power once more! Compared to before, the phantoms of the Three Corpses were now more solid, their auras harmonious and unimpeded, and their connections with each other and with their original bodies were countless times smoother, subtly forming a perfect cycle.

Nuwa could clearly sense that the obstruction that had been blocking her path had suddenly been cleared, and her understanding of the laws of creation was like a floodgate opening, surging and rising ever higher.

Finally, after 5000 years, Nuwa regained her peak Quasi-Saint realm, and her aura was even stronger than before.

Xuanbao's mind raced. Nuwa's foundation had been rebuilt, her three corpses were now complete, and she was only one step away from attaining enlightenment—creating humans to invoke the merits of the Great Dao with her supreme creative power. However, this crucial step would inevitably touch the core of the Heavenly Dao, and Hongjun would never sit idly by and watch Nuwa attain Hunyuan enlightenment according to her own path.

I can't handle this myself right now; it's more important to call in reinforcements.
