Chapter 33

"This is the place!"

But we need to ensure we don't add extra punctuation not present. The Chinese has 「」 and an exclamation. We'll translate to English with quotes and exclamation. That's fine.

"This is a calm and still sea area, completely unremarkable."

"Zhu Qingyun's sudden impulse drew him here."

"Mana flowed, yet there was no perception."

"It's hidden quite deeply!"

"Normally, when an innate grand formation is struck by mana, it will reveal its form, just as the innate Yin-Yang Creation Grand Formation of the Fengqi Mountain secret realm was brought into form by a single sweep of mana from the Yin-Yang Ancestor."

"Zhu Qingyun deployed the formation dao principles, carefully probing the surroundings."

"Seeing this, Yin and Yang naturally understood that there must be some opportunity here, and thus did not disturb."

"Nüwa pursed her lips, obviously dissatisfied with the irresponsible master's behavior of leaving at a moment's notice."

"Huh? Not yet!"

"The formation dao principles searched everything around, even the deep seabed silt, yet still found nothing."

"I just don't believe it!"

"Literature Derives Myriad Daos!"

"World Formation Power!"

"Under the double boost of Literature Derives Myriad Daos and World Formation Power, the formation dao principles became immensely strong; what originally was only 42% manifest of the formation dao principles now almost reached 70%!"

"This is equivalent to an expert who has cultivated formation dao principles to the late-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal personally searching."

"But the facts dealt Zhu Qingyun a heavy blow."

"At the same time, Zhu Qingyun also confirmed his guess: this must be the Primordial's first cave-heaven, the Overseas Three Immortals Island! Legend says the Overseas Three Immortals Island leaves no trace; without fate, it cannot be forced."

"Just as in his past life he had already become a sage, Tongtian Jiaozhu, who in his past life established his dojo in the East Sea, how could he not have wanted to seek the Overseas Three Immortals Island?"

"But in the end he still came up empty-handed, and could only settle for choosing Golden Tortoise Island as his dojo."

"No way? Since the sudden impulse guided me here, I shouldn't have found nothing!"

"I am certainly fated with the Three Immortals Island, for this is a gift from the Primordial heaven and earth to myself."

"Could it be that"

"Zhu Qingyun's heart stirred; thereafter he no longer restrained his aura, and the thick qi and merit power shot up to the heavens, attracting the attention of the Torch Dragon that had rushed over after receiving the Dragon King's report."

"Meanwhile, the void above the sea surface changed, and a mysterious grand formation hidden in the endless void revealed its form."

"This is the Primordial Three Talents Grand Formation!"

"The Three Talents refer to heaven, earth, and person three talents, secretly corresponding to the Primordial's heaven, earth, and person three Daos!"

"This grand formation may not be the Primordial's first slaughter formation, first defensive formation, first trap formation, or first illusion formation!"

"But it is absolutely the Primordial's most balanced grand formation!"

"After all, in his past life he learned in middle school that a triangle is the most stable! 【You observe the Primordial Three Talents Grand Formation, your comprehension of formation dao principles increases, current mastery 45%!】"

"【By using literature to derive myriad daos and reversing the formation dao principles to infer the literature dao principles, the literature dao principles gain a slight increase!】"

"The Three Talents Grand Formation encompasses all forms of formations! Attack, defense, trap, illusion, bewilderment—almost all types of formations can find their shadow within the Three Talents Grand Formation."

"Therefore, Zhu Qingyun's formation dao principles advanced by leaps and bounds! The Torch Dragon that had rushed over saw Zhu Qingyun immersed in enlightenment, dared not disturb, and quietly waited aside."

"As for Yin and Yang, they secretly heightened their vigilance."

"This comprehension amounted to three thousand years of time; the Torch Dragon naturally could not stay and left."

"Before leaving, he asked Yin and Yang etc. to visit the Dragon Palace when they have time; he will wait quietly in the palace for them. 【You observe the Primordial Three Talents Grand Formation, your comprehension of formation dao principles increases, current mastery 63%!】"

"【You have comprehended the Three Talents Grand Formation!】"

"【By using literature to derive myriad daos and reversing the formation dao principles to infer the literature dao principles, the literature dao principles receive feedback, 72%!】"

"【You have comprehended the Primordial heaven, earth, and person three Daos; current mastery: Primordial Heavenly Dao 5%, Primordial Earthly Dao 1%, Primordial Human Dao 1%!】"

"The Primordial heaven, earth, and person three Daos do not belong to the Three Thousand Great Daos; they are Pangu's three interpretations of the Great Dao!"

"The Heavenly Dao has already manifested, and Zhu Qingyun has come into contact with it multiple times, so his comprehension of it is the highest."

"After comprehending these three Daos, Zhu Qingyun's path forward becomes clearer."

"That is the three Daos for creating the myriad heavens and worlds; using this as a fulcrum, to move the Primordial's heaven, earth, and person three Daos! And as the comprehension ends, the literature dao principles break through to 72%, Zhu Qingyun's primordial spirit cultivation breaks into the late-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal! Even before entering the Three Immortals Island, Zhu Qingyun has already obtained a great boon!"

"Finally. late-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal!"

"Zhu Qingyun's path of walking the myriad heavens and worlds has always allowed his strength to exceed his main body by one level; with his primordial spirit reaching late-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, he now has the qualification to participate in the Dao contest!"

"Third Junior Brother, your breakthrough speed is too fast, isn't it? Since your birth until now, less than two or three hundred thousand years, you actually went from late-stage Grand Luo, achieved form, to late-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, breaking through an entire major realm!"

"Yin and Yang said, full of envy."

"And saying you aren't Pangu's reincarnation? This cultivation speed is like having an accelerator turned on! 'Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough!'"

"Fuxi and Nüwa also hurriedly offered congratulations."

"Yeah, I feel that if Third Junior Brother keeps up this pace, he might become a Mixed Yuan Grand Luo Golden Immortal, while I remain at the peak of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal!"

"Qiankun's tone was full of sourness."

"Compared to Zhu Qingyun, Nüwa, Fuxi and other Pangu offspring, his cultivation speed can be called a snail's pace."

"After attaining the Grand Luo Dao, cultivation speed depends on one's comprehension of the Great Dao."

"These Pangu offspring are beloved by heaven and earth; they are the first batch of top-tier primordial divinities born of the Primordial, naturally possessing boundless fortune and unparalleled talent."

"As for Yin and Yang, Yang Mei, Rahu and the others, firstly Qiankun's past-life status was lower than theirs; secondly, when his true spirit reincarnated into the Primordial, his consciousness could not be retained."

"Without the boost of past-life memories, Qiankun has always been the last to break through."

"The chieftains of the three primordial tribes are those who established their clans, gained boundless merit and fortune, and are the main force in slaying ferocious beasts; they are also the protagonists of this Great Calamity, naturally beyond comparison."

"What, Hongjun? That's someone who supposedly may reach Pangu's realm in the future; you want me to compare with him?"

"Please, listening to Yin and Yang, in my past life I couldn't even withstand half of Pangu's axe before fleeing my true spirit's reincarnation, okay?"

Just like this, still can't bring memories.

"Second brother, your opportunity has not yet arrived; when it does, attaining the Dao for you will not be difficult!"

Zhu Qingyun looked at Fuxi as if with deep meaning.

After Fuxi created the innate Eight Trigrams based on the Qiankun Great Dao, as the former lord of the Qiankun Great Dao in his previous life, Qiankun sank down to contemplate the innate Eight Trigrams; breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal seems not surprising either! "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words, third brother!"

Qiankun laughed, obviously not taking it seriously; he was not like Zhu Qingyun, who could know the direction of fate.

"All right! Third brother, have you comprehended this great formation?"

The Yin-Yang Old Ancestor recalled the experience from last time in the Fengqi Mountain secret realm, and no longer wanted to try to break the formation.

"Three Talents Great Formation!"

Zhu Qingyun did not answer, but instead gave a low shout, laying out a Three Talents Great Formation; then he led the way, preparing to behold the true visage of the Three Immortals Island, which left countless legends in his previous life.

"Follow me!"
