Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 76 Regretful Arrival at the Three Pure Ones

But shouldn't this twenty-four-petaled Creation Lotus be destined to be with Pangu and the Three Pure Ones, and be separated by them? How could it be destined to be with him and Nuwa, and even draw him and Nuwa here?

Although he was puzzled, Yuan Yan didn't care why at this moment.

For the first time, he was unable to calm down. His eyes flashed with a burning light. He secretly made up his mind that since he was destined to be with the Lotus of Creation, he would spare no effort to get his hands on it.

He has always had one regret: he has no innate supreme treasure, nor any treasure comparable to an innate supreme treasure.

He had also considered seizing a supreme innate treasure, or a treasure comparable to a supreme innate treasure.

Because he knows the future, he knows that the Three Pure Ones will attain sainthood and that Hongjun will bestow the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Zhuxian Sword Formation upon them.

The Three Pure Ones were already formidable, with Laozi, the Supreme Pure One, possessing the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a treasure of immense merit, and each having an additional innate supreme treasure. If the Three Pure Ones were united as one, then apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, no one in the primordial world could rival them.

Even if he, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling all attain sainthood or become Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in the future, they will probably still find it difficult to rival him.

Because none of them possessed any supreme treasures, while the Three Pure Ones all had supreme treasures, and these supreme treasures greatly enhanced the Three Pure Ones' combat power.

But after much thought, he realized that there was no such innate treasure, or any treasure comparable to an innate treasure, in the primordial world that he could scheme against.

For example, the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a treasure of acquired merit that never appeared in the original trajectory of destiny.

Rumor has it that the Primordial Measuring Ruler is most likely in the hands of the Three Immortal Islands or the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but it would be very difficult for him to obtain it, regardless of which possibility it is.

For example, the Five Banners of the Primordial Beginning, each of the five banners is a top-tier innate spiritual treasure with forty-eight innate divine restrictions, and together they are innate supreme treasures.

But it was impossible to collect them all; he only had the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.

According to his memory, the Western Plain Cloud Banner would be bestowed by Hongjun to the Queen Mother of the West or the future Yaochi; the Northern Flame Banner would be bestowed by Hongjun to Taiqing Laozi; the Eastern Azure Lotus Banner would be bestowed by Hongjun to Jieyin; and the Central Apricot Yellow Banner would be bestowed by Hongjun to Yuanshi.

Now that the Queen Mother of the West has been given the Pure Water Bowl, she naturally cannot obtain the Western Plain Cloud Banner, which will likely fall into the hands of Yaochi in the future.

How could the three flags possibly be gathered together in the hands of three future saints? Would they allow anyone other than themselves to gather them all?

For example, the Chaos Bell. After the Lich War ends and Donghuang Taiyi dies, there might be a glimmer of hope. However, the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin will definitely do everything in their power to stop them from seizing the treasure. Under their obstruction, it will not be easy to seize the treasure.

For example, the God-Devouring Spear was suppressed in the Demon Realm along with the Demon Ancestor Luo's innate immortal spirit after he self-destructed the western ley lines, making it even more impossible to obtain.

It is no exaggeration to say that unless Dao Ancestor Hongjun is willing to bestow upon him a supreme innate treasure, he will find it very difficult to obtain a supreme innate treasure or a merit treasure comparable to it.

But now, he saw hope. The Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus was right in front of him, and he was destined to have it.

Overjoyed, Yuan Yan quickly realized what was happening and turned to look at Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, and Nuwa and Fuxi.

He said decisively, "Fellow Daoists, the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus is of great importance. Let us first set up a large array nearby to conceal and shield this strange phenomenon, so as to prevent more powerful beings from sensing it and rushing over."

"Good!" the five responded in unison.

Although Nuwa and Fuxi were fully aware of this, after setting up a grand formation and obtaining the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus, Yuan Yan would certainly not relinquish it simply because the Creation Lotus resonated with Nuwa's Great Dao and was destined to be with her.

However, the two did not hesitate at all and decided to stand on the same side as Yuan Yan and the other three.

They owed Yuan Yan and the other three too much in terms of karma and favors. Although they were also Great Luo Golden Immortals at the peak of their cultivation, they knew very well that their strength was no match for Yuan Yan, let alone Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, or Yuan Ling.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat one of the three: Yuanjie, Yuanlun, or Yuanling.

In an instant, Yuan Yan and his group of six were about to take action, setting up a large array around them to conceal and shield the strange phenomenon, as well as to prevent any powerful figures who might arrive from spying on them.

However, at that very moment, three auras of perfected Great Luo Golden Immortals appeared rapidly within the perception range of Yuan Yan and the other six.

Those were none other than Pangu and the Three Pure Ones!

Sensing the arrival of Pangu and the Three Pure Ones, Yuan Yan frowned almost imperceptibly and stopped what he was doing along with the other five.

"The Twenty-Four Grades of Creation Lotus! Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, Nuwa and Fuxi!"

Upon arriving near the Innate Grand Array, they vaguely glimpsed a portion of the scene within the array and saw Yuan Yan and the other six. The Three Pure Ones couldn't help but furrow their brows slightly.

They sensed that the treasure they were destined to possess was the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus, which delighted them greatly. However, Yuan Yan and his group of six had arrived earlier than them, and it was clear that one or more of them were also destined to possess the Creation Green Lotus, which made them feel less than pleased.

Before listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling had already broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Although they did not break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm after listening to the Dao, it is conceivable that their cultivation level must have reached the ultimate of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Nuwa and Fuxi were also Great Luo Golden Immortals at the peak of their cultivation, and their cultivation levels were no weaker than theirs.

With neither an advantage in cultivation level nor in numbers, it will probably not be easy for them to obtain the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus.

However, none of the three intended to give up. They were not without trump cards. By joining forces to set up the Innate Three Talents Formation and drawing upon the Pangu power hidden deep within their primordial spirits, their strength might not be weaker than that of the six Yuan Yans working together.

Even if they risked their lives to reunite Pangu's primordial spirit, they could still severely injure even a Primordial Golden Immortal with a single blow.

However, unless it is a matter of life and death, they will definitely not reunite Pangu's primordial spirit.

This is not out of concern for the father god Pangu, but rather for the revival of Pangu's primordial spirit through their reunion.

If this could revive the Father God Pangu, they would not hesitate for a moment.

Their essence is the innate, indestructible true spirit. Even if they lose their primordial spirit and origin, lose their top-tier innate divine status, and suffer great damage to their vital energy, they will ultimately not perish.

But since Father God Pangu is the master of the primordial world, and can be revived, why would they need to worry about these things?

The fundamental reason why they were unwilling to reunite Pangu's primordial spirit was that even if they did, they could not revive Pangu, the father god. They were too weak to withstand the backlash from reuniting Pangu's primordial spirit.

If they were to reunite their Pangu primordial spirit with their current cultivation level, even if they did not perish, they would definitely suffer unimaginable damage, and it would probably be difficult for them to recover even after a thousand eons.
