"Yuanqing, the Three Pure Ones truly are Pangu's biological sons; I have to hand it to them."
"If I didn't have the System, I'd die of jealousy and envy."
The Three Pure Ones transformed directly as Peak Daluo Golden Immortals—truly Pangu's own flesh and blood. Right now, the Three Pure Ones are Taiyi Golden Immortals. As for the other innate divine beings—Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Kunpeng—they were born as Peak Daluo Golden Immortals, carrying the immense Qi Luck of Pangu splitting the Primordial World.
However, this also consumes a massive amount of Qi Luck. After this wave of innate deities is born, any innate deities born hereafter will find it exceedingly difficult to reach the level of the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi, Nuwa, Zhenyuanzi, and the rest. These ancient supreme beings were born riding the crest of Qi Luck and are known as innate divine beings. Beings born later, lacking this foundational Qi Luck, can hardly ever surpass the innate divine beings.
Such beings are already extremely rare. Even if any more do appear, who knows how long it will take for one to emerge.
Retreating from the residence of the Three Pure Ones and leaving Kunlun Mountain, the innate grand array once again concealed them from view.
Thereupon, Yuanqing departed.
Leaving Kunlun Mountain, Yuanqing traveled across the Western Land, taking in the scenery of the Primordial World along the way.
When he had free time, after finishing his challenge against Luohou, he would head to the Solar Star to check on Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.
He would visit Huoyun Cave to see Hongyun.
He would visit Wanshou Mountain to see Zhenyuanzi.
He would visit Fengqi Mountain to see Nuwa and Fuxi.
He would visit the Sea of Blood to see Minghe.
He would visit Beiming to see Kunpeng.
He would travel to all these places. These were all innate divine beings; if they came under his command, they would be a tremendous help to him.
Afterward, Yuanqing rarely traveled through the Primordial World, because conflicts had already arisen among the Three Clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, even though their clan leaders and elders had not yet openly clashed.
At present, the leaders of the Three Clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin were all at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal realm, just a single step away from entering the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. (There was no distinction of Quasi-Sages yet; Quasi-Sages were those who, after Hongjun achieved Sainthood, lectured on the method of slaying the three corpses to attain Sainthood, which required relying on magic treasures of the same origin and root to achieve Sainthood—separately slaying the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self corpse, and finally merging the three corpses. Once the three corpses were merged, one reached the Peak Quasi-Sage realm, and then relied on the Hongmeng Purple Qi to attain Sainthood.) As for Hunyuan Golden Immortals, one could achieve Sainthood simply by succeeding and proving the Dao through the laws.
Back then, Zulong hadn't used his full strength; otherwise, he wouldn't even have had the qualifications to exchange blows with him.
Yuanqing let out a sigh: truly, it is survival of the fittest.
Yuanqing pondered that it would be best to travel as little as possible from now on. With the conflicts among the Three Clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin now beginning to show, a major war would soon erupt. The catalyst for this great war would likely be the clan leaders breaking through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Right now, the Primordial World probably still had a calm period of one or two *yuanhuis*. Although Hongjun, Luohou, Yinyang, Qiankun, Yangmei, Wuxing, and the other surviving Chaos Demon Gods were now left with less than one-millionth of their former strength, they were still hanging on by a thread.
Those surviving Chaos Demon Gods should also be preparing to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
For now, once he finished challenging Luohou, he would have a few tens of thousands of years of travel time left, after which he would continue to lie low in Hunyuan Palace on his Spirit Ruins Island.
He would not come out until at least after the Tribulation of Dragon and Phoenix had ended.
The Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were all Pangu's biological sons. The acquired merit supreme treasure of defense, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, was with the Three Pure Ones at Kunlun Mountain.
If his guess was correct, the acquired merit supreme treasure of offense, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, should be with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were located in Pangu Hall within Mount Buzhou. Should he make a trip to Pangu Hall at Mount Buzhou to retrieve the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, or head directly to the Western Land?
In any case, going to the Western Land meant passing by Mount Buzhou anyway.
Or perhaps...
[Ding-dong! Detected that the host is facing a choice.]
[The following options are now presented.]
[Option One: Head to Pangu Hall at Mount Buzhou. Reward: Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Celebration of the Heavens.]
[Option Two: Head directly to the Western Land. Reward: Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Eastern Blue Lotus Flag.]
"System, I choose One."
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Celebration of the Heavens.]
Yuanqing felt immensely pleased. Celebration of the Heavens belonged to the category of Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, possessing forty-eight dao restrictions. Resting above one's head, it made the user inherently invincible—serving the exact same purpose as the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
This alone demonstrated the marvelous utility of Celebration of the Heavens.
His trip to Pangu Hall at Mount Buzhou was also on the way; Mount Buzhou was situated right at the very center of Pangu, and traveling from the East Sea to the Western Land happened to pass right by it.
Yuanqing felt thoroughly delighted. When the time came to fight Luohou, he would tread upon the Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Celebration of the Heavens, surrounded by the Four Swords of Execution, holding the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler in his left hand—(the God-Whip was being saved for the Gods-Conferring Tribulation and wouldn't be used just yet)—what a magnificent sight! Furthermore, twenty-four Sea-Suppressing Divine Pearls would lie in ambush on either side of his body. Even if Hongjun himself came, he'd still have to take a beating before he could leave.
