Volume One: The Lich's Calamity 206. Primordial Violet Aura: Opportunity or Shackles?

Page (1/3)

“At this moment, he has not yet attained sainthood; he is merely in the stage of merging with the primordial violet energy of chaos! And yet, he is already so extraordinary—no wonder the sages are so powerful!”

The three of them sighed deeply as they absorbed the information conveyed from the corpse of obsession.

Had they not just sensed a sudden palpitation at the moment the primordial violet energy was about to merge, they might have already been fully fused with that energy.

“For now, it’s best to take advantage of the fact that this violet energy has only just merged with the corpse of obsession, so its influence is still slight. We should first merge this final origin.”

Tai Shang sighed and quickly proposed this course of action.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian immediately followed Tai Shang’s example and sat cross-legged in meditation.

They swiftly took control of the corpse of obsession and began the origin fusion.

At this time, their bodies seemed to dissolve into pure energy, allowing their innate origins to merge.

As their origins fused deeper, Tai Shang found that he gained a profounder understanding of the divine art of “One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.”

At the same time, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, like Tai Shang, gradually moved from merely conceptualizing the “One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones” to truly comprehending it.

It was as if the two of them could now easily wield its power.

“So this divine art isn’t a single technique; it is another opportunity for the three of us!”

As Yuan Shi and Tong Tian gained insight into this art, Tai Shang noticed how it amplified the three of them.

Their cultivation and comprehension were not simply additive.

Once their origins became a single pure energy, their fusion was complete.

Soon after, the three of them awoke one after another.

At this moment, the corpse of obsession also underwent a tremendous transformation.

With a thought from Tai Shang, the other two corpses—Good and Evil—also appeared.

“It seems different now; it no longer feels like a mere severed corpse clone, but instead is brimming with vitality!” Tai Shang exclaimed.

Yuan Shi and the others similarly released their corpses.

“Although it still isn’t easy to unify the three corpses, it seems that because of this special method of severing the corpse, we have become entirely independent—yet we can still share the insights of those severed clones!”

Suddenly, Tai Shang had an idea.

“I think…”

He shared his thoughts with his two younger brothers.

In the end, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian readily agreed to Tai Shang’s proposal.

“Fortuitously, the two of us have experienced this special opportunity, so it is actually easier for us than for you, eldest brother, to successfully comprehend the ‘One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones’!”

Yuan Shi and Tong Tian manifested their primordial spirits, and three new figures appeared beside them.

The three exchanged smiles.

Taiqing Peak, Taiqing Hall.

Just as Duobao and Nan were about to lose patience, they noticed the doors of Taiqing Hall swing open.

“Come in!”

Yuan Shi’s voice came from inside, so Nan and Duobao entered the hall together.

“Greetings, Teacher, Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle!”

The two quickly bowed respectfully to the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones waved them off casually, and then Yuan Shi spoke:

“The three of us have greatly advanced our cultivation and are on the verge of attaining sainthood. From today onward, we will set trials on Kunlun Mountain. Those who pass will have the opportunity to become our disciples!”

Upon hearing this, Nan quickly bowed again, ready to spread the news throughout the Great Wilderness.

Meanwhile, Duobao looked longingly at Tong Tian.

Seeing this, Tong Tian said to Duobao:

“Alright, you have been with me for some time now. Today, I officially accept you as my principal disciple. I hope you will cultivate diligently and not disappoint my expectations!”

After speaking, Tong Tian produced a tower and handed it to Duobao.

“Since I have accepted you as a disciple, I will not be stingy. This Duobao Tower suits you perfectly—use it well!”

Upon receiving the tower, Duobao found it was a fine-grade innate spiritual treasure.

“Thank you, Teacher, for this treasure!”

At the same time, Yuan Shi took out a floating bowl beside Duobao.

“As your elder uncle, I will also give you a treasure for protection!”

Tai Shang took out a gourd.

“When Yuan Shi accepted Nan, I gave him a gourd with a golden pill. You shall have the same. Take it and remember to cultivate well!”

Then the three closed their eyes, ignoring the two.

After Nan and Duobao left Taiqing Hall, Duobao looked at Nan, puzzled.

“Senior Brother Nan, haven’t you noticed that Teacher and the elder uncles seem a little different?”

Duobao’s eyes deepened in confusion, though he could not pinpoint exactly what was off.

“I haven’t noticed. Perhaps they’ve just recently broken through, so that’s why you feel this way, Junior Brother Duobao,” Nan replied, shaking his head.

However, Duobao shook his head as well but said no more.

As the two descended Kunlun Mountain, they saw many formations already set up. Only then did they realize these were the trials Yuan Shi and the others had spoken of for all beings in the Great Wilderness.

As Nan and Duobao began to move about the Great Wilderness, many learned that the Three Pure Ones—direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor—were now recruiting disciples.

In no time, numerous cultivators who had long been stuck without a path flocked to Kunlun Mountain, hoping to be accepted as disciples by the three future saints, thereby elevating their own status.

Once a quiet place, Kunlun Mountain gradually saw more and more visitors eager to try their luck at joining the Three Pure Ones.

Meanwhile, at Mount Sumeru.

“Senior Brother, why is it that once the three elder brothers announced they were taking disciples, so many people came, but despite our own intentions to recruit, many talented candidates have rejected our offers?”

After hearing the news from Kunlun Mountain, Zhunti complained resentfully to Jie Yin.

“Now that the Western Realm is rising, and Mount Sumeru already has many disciples, if you wish to teach, you could select some exceptionally gifted ones to accept.”

Jie Yin reminded Zhunti in response to his complaints.

Zhunti fell silent.

After a long while, Zhunti asked in confusion:

“Senior Brother, do you still remember that special aura that came from the East before?”

Jie Yin looked at Zhunti.

“You mean…”

“The three elder brothers must have already broken through. How long do you think it will take for you to reach that stage?”

Judging by the Three Pure Ones’ preparations to open their doors wide, Zhunti was convinced his guess was correct.

But to Zhunti’s disappointment, Jie Yin only quietly shook his head.

“Perhaps we have not accumulated enough yet.”

Zhunti could only sigh.

“Is the West really so much inferior to the East?”

He couldn’t help but wonder. Seeing this, Jie Yin shook his head. If it weren’t for knowing him well, Jie Yin would have thought Zhunti was mentally confused at this moment!
