Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

As Qiongqi's figure grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared, Xu Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief, carefully put away the magic weapon, and took it into the Mountain and River Map.

Xu Qing calculated that this great battle had lasted for another half a year, and more than four billion years had passed in the Mountain and River Map. Hongjun and Rahu should be about to take human form.

Sure enough, after Xu Qing entered the Mountain and River Map and began to heal his injuries in the Primordial True Water, he soon heard a faint voice.

"Lying high above the nine heavens, on a futon I attained the true Dao. Beyond the mysteries of heaven and earth, all that remains is the primordial energy that transforms into the Great Primordial Chaos."

"Today, I, Hongjun, take human form!"

Xu Qing opened his eyes and saw a young Taoist standing where the original Primordial Spirit Embryo had been, pointing one finger to the sky and the other to the earth.

"Huh?! How come there are other people here? According to the inherited memories, shouldn't I be the first being to take human form in the primordial world? Hey, who are you?"

Seeing Xu Qing looking over, the boy quickly withdrew his hands and asked somewhat awkwardly.

Xu Qing looked at the face that was much younger but still familiar, and her eyes twitched a few times.

"Do you often feel nourished and nurtured while in the spiritual womb?"

"Yes."

"Are these all extra resources that weren't in your inherited memories, making you stronger after you take human form?"

"Yes."

"Guess who gave you these resources?"

"you?"

"Then what should you call me?"

"Brother?"

"..."

"You have no emotional intelligence. Wait until Luo Hou comes out, then you can see how he handles things."

Hongjun glared angrily at Xu Qing.

"If you keep staring at me like that, you'll vomit up the Three Lights Divine Water inside your stomach."

Hongjun turned his head away, no longer looking at Xu Qing, but after a while, he couldn't help but speak again.

"Why is Rahu here too? Qiankun, Yin Yang, Hunkun... how come they're all here?!"

Hongjun was shocked. As the first wisp of innate primordial energy in the world, he had unique opportunities and good fortune. In addition to being favored by the heavens and having a destiny that defied the heavens, he also had inherited memories from the Great Dao, knowing the origins of most living beings in the prehistoric world and the functions of magical treasures.

But this person in front of me has no recollection of me at all, yet he has collected most of the innate beings and innate spiritual roots and treasures of the entire prehistoric world into his own dojo. What terrifying strength this is!

"Who are you?!"

"I'm helping you improve your skills, and this is your attitude?"

Hongjun's face flushed red. It seemed... that was indeed a bit wrong. He immediately corrected himself and respectfully bowed according to his memory.

"May I ask, Venerable One, why do you help me? I will never forget your kindness in helping me attain enlightenment!"

Xu Qing thought for a moment, realizing he needed to find a reason to make Hongjun willing to fight the Four Fiends, so he sighed.

"Alas, this is a long story. I was originally Xu Qing, the Mind Demon God, one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and I was a close friend of your father, the Power Demon God Pangu."

"After your father created the world, he died from exhaustion. The other demons and gods wanted to destroy the primordial world. I could not bear to see my dear friend's life's work destroyed, so I chose to take action."

"That battle was earth-shattering. I alone commanded three thousand gods and swept across the five continents with my bare hands."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's eyes lit up. Was this person really that strong?!

Xu Qing paused for a moment, then continued.

"Unfortunately, even the strongest fists cannot defeat 5,996 hands. When there were only eight remnants of the Chaos Demon God left, I was seriously injured and my strength was greatly reduced."

Your Excellency... I really... I'm going to cry myself to death...

"Those eight remnant souls of demon gods used the turbid energy of the primordial world and the resentment of the Chaos Demon Gods after their deaths to create four Chaos Beasts. If I were in my prime, I would naturally not be afraid, but now I am seriously injured, and each of the four beasts is as strong as me."

"Seeing that things are beyond saving, in order to preserve the primordial world as much as possible, I can only gather you sentient descendants into my magic treasure and nurture you well, hoping that you will be able to defeat the four ferocious beasts in the future."

When Xu Qing finished speaking, Hongjun was already deeply moved, and he was almost ready to hug Xu Qing's leg and cry.

Do you understand my good intentions?

"Venerable One, I understand. I will definitely cultivate diligently to help you!"

Hongjun nodded emphatically, his face solemn.

"This child is teachable."

Xu Qing nodded slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction. Hehe, newborn boys are so easy to fool.

After that, Xu Qing and Hongjun cultivated day and night within the Mountain and River Map, until one day, the black innate demonic spirit embryo also began to stir...

"The clouds hang low, the sun shines brightly beside them; within the ninefold demonic energy, the evil spirits stir the Demon Lord!"

"I, Luo Hou, have been born! I will become the strongest being in the entire primordial world!"

As the sound rang out, the black spiritual embryo began to shatter, and black spiritual energy dissipated. A young man in a black martial robe suddenly appeared, attracting Xu Qing's attention.

At this moment, Rahu also noticed Xu Qing and Hongjun, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Eh?! Why aren't you on Mount Sumeru? And who are you?"

"I am Xu Qing."

"I am Hongjun."

Hongjun!? Is he the destined rival I was in the inherited memories?

Upon hearing Hongjun's name, Luo Hou immediately became alert, assumed a fighting stance, and said.

"Hongjun? What are you doing here? Do you want to fight me, Luo Hou?"

Xu Qing sighed deeply. How could Hongjun and Luohou, on whom he had placed such high hopes, be such fools? He felt it would be better to just let immortals or demons possess him.

Afterwards, Xu Qing asked Hongjun to tell Luo Hou what he had just told Hongjun, expressing his desire to invite Luo Hou to join him in defeating the four ferocious beasts.

Hongjun spoke for a long time, and finally, as he was talking, he suddenly adopted a fighting stance.

"I don't care about any of that. Whoever can beat me into submission, I'll listen to them. It's that simple!"

"6..."

Xu Qing flicked his wrist in mid-air, and the flick landed squarely on Luo Hou's head. Luo Hou instantly transformed into a streak of black light and flew off to an unknown destination.

In the original history, Luo Hou and Hongjun, who had just taken human form, were only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Even with Xu Qing's abundant resources this time, they were only at the early stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and could not defeat Xu Qing at all.

After being thrown away for a short while, Rahu flew back with a large bump on his head. Without saying a word, he bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Venerable One, I want to learn this!"

Xu Qing smiled faintly, feigning profundity, and said.

"You can learn it if you want, but after you've mastered it, you must join me in defeating the four ferocious beasts."

"Okay! I'll learn!"

…………

In this way, Xu Qing successfully subdued Hongjun and Luohou, who had successfully transformed into human form, and the two received Xu Qing's guidance in the small world of the Mountain and River Map.

With Xu Qing's personal guidance, coupled with an almost inexhaustible supply of rare and precious materials and their own exceptional comprehension, the two quickly reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and the method of inheriting memories was severed.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged in front of the two men and said calmly.

"Since that's the case, today I will teach you the method to sever the three corpses and achieve sainthood. Listen carefully!"
