Chapter 201: Three Pure Ones
When chaos first began, heaven and earth came into being and gave birth to all things.
All things here are innate creatures, but not all innate creatures will be born at this time.
Because of different luck and opportunities, the time of birth of these creatures varies greatly.
Some were born at the creation of the world, and some, like monkeys, did not gain intelligence until the time of Journey to the West.
The Golden Spirit Mother was born between the initial calamity of the dragon and phoenix and the calamity of the wizard and the demon. She was born from the intersection of a group of innate Gengjin Qi and the Qi of intercourse.
When it was born, a drop of nectar fell on it, and as soon as it met water, it transformed into a golden phoenix.
Later, it encountered howling sandstorms, which is the "earth and wind" in "earth, water, fire and wind", and the companion spirit treasure turned into a dragon-tiger jade ruyi.
Innate creatures are loved by heaven and earth, and are born knowing how to practice and comprehend the great Dao. After the birth of the Golden Spirit Mother, she landed in a nearby valley and began to practice in seclusion.
This practice took tens of thousands of years, and the Golden Spirit Mother's cultivation level also broke through from the initial stage of celestial immortal when she was born to the golden immortal realm.
Until one day, there was a sudden surge of rosy clouds in the sky, purple air filled the air and covered the sun, countless flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses emerged from the ground, and thousands of auspicious auras rose up, accompanied by bursts of celestial music.
The Golden Spirit Mother had never seen or even heard of such a vision. She was so surprised that she reached out and touched the golden lotus on the ceiling.
The golden lotus seemed to be made of water and directly merged into her body.
In an instant.
Countless insights about the Tao flooded into her mind, as if a pair of invisible hands were helping her clear away the fog in her mind.
Things that I couldn’t understand or couldn’t think of thoroughly before suddenly became clear to me, like an epiphany.
The Golden Spirit Mother was shocked to find that not only had her energy and spirit been greatly improved, but the bottleneck in cultivation that had troubled her for thousands of years was also directly broken, and her cultivation level broke through from the Golden Immortal to the initial stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.
After realizing the efficacy of the Smallpox Golden Lotus, the Golden Spirit Mother began to absorb the Smallpox Golden Lotus desperately, but these Smallpox Golden Lotuses seemed to have consciousness and began to avoid her after she absorbed seven.
No matter what she tried, she couldn't touch him anymore.
After a while, the golden lotus on the ceiling began to decrease until it disappeared, and a majestic voice sounded in the ears.
"I am Hongjun, and I have become a saint! Three months later, I will explain the way of cultivation and the method of attaining the truth in Zixiao Palace. Anyone who is predestined can come!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the sensation they caused was even greater than the golden lotuses that had just fallen from the sky and gushed out from the ground, and the entire prehistoric world was instantly boiling.
Since the beginning of the world, countless lives have been seeking to attain sainthood, but no one has ever been able to take that step!
Now, suddenly there appears Hongjun who has already successfully attained enlightenment. One can imagine the incredible shock it brings to them!
Moreover, the methods and abilities displayed by Hongjun were beyond their imagination, proving that he was not lying and had truly achieved sainthood!
In an instant, countless powerful men rose into the sky, each using their own methods to fly out of the sky.
Daozu Hongjun only mentioned Zixiao Palace but did not tell the exact location. They could only follow this wisp of energy and find the location of Zixiao Palace on their own.
In this case, the sooner you set off the better!
Three months may seem like a long time, but to Honghuang, it is just a moment. If they fail to find the Zixiao Palace and miss the chance to attain enlightenment, they will probably want to die!
In addition to great powers like Sanqing, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Randeng and Kunpeng, many creatures who claim to be quite powerful also try their luck!
Just this vision of the Golden Lotus has brought them such great benefits. If they could listen to Hongjun's teachings, wouldn't they be able to break through directly to the Golden Immortal of Daluo!
The Golden Spirit Mother is one of them.
Following the faint aura, the Golden Spirit Mother left the valley and flew all the way into the sky.
But, Zixiao Palace is obviously not that easy to get to!
Opportunity and strength are both indispensable!
But the Golden Spirit Mother failed in any of the items!
As soon as she reached the outside of the sky, she was stunned by the chaotic gale blowing in her face. After she had finally managed to move forward a little with the help of the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi, a chaotic divine thunder came down and almost smashed her into ashes.
At this point in time, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had not yet merged with the Dao, and the strong winds and thunder in the chaos outside the sky were far more powerful than those in later generations.
The Golden Spirit Mother had only gone less than ten thousand miles inside when she encountered more than ten dangers.
Especially the last time, the Golden Spirit Mother had just broken through a gust of wind that blocked her way when she was ambushed by a chaotic beast hiding in the dark. It was too late for her to take back the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi for defense.
Just at this moment, a green sword energy suddenly appeared and killed the chaotic beast.
"Three Pure Ones!" Li Anran's eyes fixed on the three men, one old, one middle-aged and one young, who appeared in the sight of the Golden Spirit Mother.
At this time, the Three Pure Ones had not yet attained enlightenment and became saints, and this was the first time Li Anran saw their faces clearly.
Taishang Laozi has white hair and a childlike face, yellow skin, a high nose bridge that is as pointed as a bird's beak, eyebrows five inches long, ears that hang down to his shoulders, three lines on his forehead, and eight trigrams on his feet. He wears a five-colored cloud robe and holds a flat crutch in his hand, looking like an old man.
Yuanshi Tianzun wears a Jade Pure Lotus Crown, has a long beard under his chin, has a dignified look and a stern face, is dressed in a robe with a golden dragon pattern, and holds a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand, looking like a middle-aged man.
The Master of Tongtian has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, black hair draped over his shoulders, his chin slightly raised, and the ends of his eyebrows slanted, with a somewhat cynical and free-spirited look. He wears an Eight Diagrams immortal robe and holds a Qingping sword in his hand, dressed like a young man.
It was Tongtian Sect Master who rescued the Golden Spirit Mother, and because of this, the two of them formed a master-disciple relationship!
However, at this time, Master Tongtian had no intention of accepting a disciple. He just saved Jin Feng because he saw how gorgeous and beautiful she was.
Even so, Yuanshi Tianzun was already somewhat unhappy, and he urged Tongtian Jiaozhu to set off as soon as possible and not waste time on these unimportant matters.
"Brother, don't worry. Saint Hongjun said that anyone who is destined to go to Zixiao Palace can go! If we are destined to go, we can go!"
Tongtian said this, but he was afraid of missing the opportunity to listen to Hongjun's sermon. He waved his right hand, and a golden light enveloped the Golden Spirit Mother. He smiled and said, "Little guy, this is not a place you can come to! Go back quickly!"
Before the Golden Spirit Mother even had the chance to ask the Three Pure Ones’ identities and names, she was swept away by the golden light and flew back to the primitive world.
It was not until this time that the Golden Spirit Mother saw clearly that the golden light was actually a golden flower with dark yellow lines on it, which were the two words "Huang Zhong".
The Golden Spirit Mother did not recognize this thing, so she swallowed it carefully into her stomach - the creatures at that time were not like those in later generations, as long as they had some Taoism skills they would transform into human form, and the Golden Spirit Mother also maintained her original appearance - thinking of repaying the kindness of Master Tongtian in the future.
Li Anran recognized it at the first sight.
This flower blooms from the Huangzhongli, one of the ten innate spiritual roots.
This Huang Zhongli was born in the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain and was owned by the Three Pure Ones. Later, after the Three Pure Ones split up, he and the Yuxu Palace were returned to Yuanshi Tianzun.
"The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit must have found the Three Pure Ones through this Huang Zhongli, and then became a disciple of the Master of Tongtian, right?"
Li Anran’s guess was not wrong.
When the Golden Spirit Mother realized that her strength was too weak and that she would die , she gave up the plan to go to the Zixiao Palace to listen to the teachings.
However, she had seen so many beautiful sights along the way and was reluctant to go back, so she began to travel around the ancient continent, while also trying to find out the name of her savior.
This journey lasted another ten thousand years.
Li Anran also roughly determined the time point where the Golden Spirit Mother was based on what she saw and heard.
At this time, the first calamity of the dragon and the phoenix had ended. The dragon clan retreated to the eastern sea (the prehistoric world was still a whole piece, not the East China Sea), the phoenix clan lived in seclusion in the Immortal Volcano in the south, and the Qilin clan settled on Mount Buzhou in the center of the prehistoric world.
However, the hatred between the three tribes did not end, and the prehistoric land did not gain peace as a result.
On the contrary, without the constraints of the dragon, phoenix , and unicorn's superior scales, birds, and beasts, other races began to compete for the position of clan leader and fought each other constantly.
Although the scale is not as large as the first calamity of the dragon and phoenix, the degree of cruelty is not much different!
The demon clan’s heaven has not yet been established, but Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi have already become famous in the prehistoric world, and have begun to implement the concept of "transforming all races into one race, the demon clan."
Relying on the Chaos Bell and the River Map and Luo Shu, the two brothers, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, have turned the demon clan into the most powerful force in the entire prehistoric land, and it is still expanding rapidly.
This also affected the interests of many races. Knowing that they were no match for the demon race, they began to unite and try to fight against the demon race together.
If Hongjun had not suddenly attained enlightenment and attracted everyone to the Zixiao Palace, the war between the two sides might have already broken out.
On the contrary, the witch clan, the real mortal enemy of the demon clan, was still unknown at that time. The Golden Spirit Mother traveled through half of the prehistoric world but had not heard the names of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
It was during this period that the Golden Spirit Mother found Kunlun Mountain, heard the names of the Three Pure Ones, learned about Huang Zhongli, and met the three disciples of the Three Pure Ones in the Yuxu Palace.
Two of them are disciples of Master Tongtian, Holy Mother Wudang and Taoist Duobao.
One is the Nan Ji Xian Weng, a disciple of Yuan Shi Tian Zun.
Li Anran had seen Duobao Taoist and Wudang Shengmu during the Conferred God Catastrophe in the life of Bull Demon King, and had also seen Nan Ji Xian Weng during the Journey to the West era.
Compared to that time, the three of them at this point in time were still teenagers who had not yet grown up. They looked very immature and had a close relationship with each other. They were not like later when they were fighting to the death.
He was no longer as reverent towards the Three Pure Ones as he was later on. When he saw the yellow plum blossoms that the Golden Spirit Mother took out, Duobao even dared to complain that Tongtian was "willful". If Uncle Yuanshi knew about this, he would definitely say a few words to him.
After learning about the relationship between the Golden Spirit Mother and the Master of Tongtian, the three agreed to let the Golden Spirit Mother stay on Mount Kunlun and wait for the Three Pure Ones to return from the Zixiao Palace.
As a result, before the Three Pure Ones returned, the news of Di Jun and Xihe's wedding had already spread.
Duobao and his two companions and the Golden Spirit Mother were not interested in this kind of thing. After listening to it, they put it aside.
However, Li Anran tasted a different flavor and took a breath of cold air.
"Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun are so cruel! They actually left Zixiao Palace early!"
Li Anran was sure that the idea of Di Jun and Xihe's celestial marriage and the establishment of the Heavenly Palace were all what he heard from Hongjun Daozu.
However, others would like to stay in Zixiao Palace for the rest of their lives, but the two of them could make such a decisive decision and leave early. Their character is really scary!
The timing was perfect too!
Nowadays, most of the powerful people in the prehistoric world are listening to the teachings in Zixiao Palace. It is impossible for them to return to the prehistoric world in a short period of time. The two of them can do whatever they want, and no one can stop them!
By the time those powerful men came out of Zixiao Palace, everything had been settled, and the general trend would not allow them to make any changes!
Li Anran really wanted to meet Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun to see what these two kingly and tyrannical figures looked like.
But unfortunately, the Golden Spirit Mother has no interest in these!
Under the guidance of Duobao and the other two, she also transformed into a human form, a little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate figure and golden feathers on her head.
After that, she stayed in Yuxu Palace to practice meditation, and she never went out again until the Three Pure Ones returned from Zixiao Palace.
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi must have known how powerful the Three Pure Ones were, or they saw the Three Pure Ones being accepted as disciples by Hongjun Daozu in Zixiao Palace, so they deliberately avoided the area within a million miles around Kunlun Mountain.
This makes Kunlun Mountain one of the few pure lands in the vast land.
Many creatures fled to Kunlun Mountain for refuge.
Li Anran saw many familiar faces among them.
For example, Zhao Gongming and his sisters Yunxiao, Yunzhongzi, Guangchengzi, Taiyi Zhenren, Manjusri, Cihang and so on.
These are just the ones that the Golden Spirit Holy Mother has encountered or passed by, and there are many more that she has not seen.
From the mouths of these creatures, Li Anran also roughly knew what was happening outside.
Just as he expected, Di Jun took the opportunity of his celestial marriage with Xihe to announce that he would follow the will of heaven and establish the Heavenly Palace, so that all races could become one and eliminate the disputes in the ancient world.
Some people support it, while others oppose it.
Then, Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun once again staged a drama in which one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy.
Donghuang Taiyi took action to kill his opponents, while Di Jun calmed the people's hearts and began to confer titles to the great saints of the demon clan and grant them territories.
——He directly treated the entire prehistoric world as his own, dividing it up at will, without caring whether these fairy mountains and blessed lands belonged to other people.
The attitude is very tough and clear: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Afterwards, he led these surrendered tribes to fight in all directions, turning his promises into reality one by one.
In the process, these ethnic groups gradually became loyal, and because their territories were conquered with the help of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, they had common interests and gradually became die-hard supporters of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.
The demon race began to grow rapidly at a snowball rate.
All the tribes in the ancient times
Until the Qilin clan took action.
The Qilin clan is the leader of all beasts and one of the protagonists of the first calamity of the dragon and phoenix. Naturally, they are unwilling to submit to the demon clan, and they gather a large number of other clans that are also unwilling to submit to the demon court, and take up residence on Mount Buzhou.
Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun wanted to build the Heavenly Palace at the highest point in the prehistoric world, and Mount Buzhou was the passage connecting heaven and earth, so naturally they could not give it to others.
In addition, the resistance encountered in recent days has become increasingly stronger, so he decided to use the Qilin clan to establish his authority.
The two sides eventually came to blows.
As expected, the Qilin clan suffered a crushing defeat and many of them were killed or injured.
In this story, Li Anran finally heard news about the other protagonist of the Lich Catastrophe, the Witch Clan.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were transformed from the essence and blood of Pangu. They lived at the foot of Mount Buzhou and were on good terms with the Qilin clan.
Likewise, they don't want to become some kind of demon race!
When the Qilin clan was fighting against Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, they also joined in. Although they were defeated in the end, they also injured and killed many great saints of the demon clan, and also protected many Qilin clan members who escaped and escaped unscathed.
But, the feud has been settled!
