Chapter 40

If it weren't for Zhu Qingyun's later-life soul merging into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Clouds by a fortunate coincidence, the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Clouds would forever remain merely a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

Even at its birth, it was already broken open by Hongjun, who shattered the Myriad Heavens Opening-Ease Grand Formation and refined it into Hongjun's treasure!

The image faded, and Zhu Qingyun had no time to ponder Hongjun's origins, because its essence had already become completely perfect!

And the main body Auspicious Cloud, after becoming completely perfect, a wisp of Chaos aura appeared above the Auspicious Cloud!

The Auspicious Cloud broke through to become a Chaos spiritual treasure!

This isn't over yet; the consciousness within that blazing cloud has already become fully matured in this process! As all the essence of the blazing cloud merges into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, it becomes equivalent to a part of the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud!

Zhu Qingyun had an inner realization: that consciousness could choose a spiritual treasure outside the Auspicious Cloud as its true form, manifest and be born into the world! "Big brother! Big brother!"

That consciousness shouted excitedly at Zhu Qingyun, its tone full of excitement.

If Zhu Qingyun hasn't guessed wrong, that blazing cloud, in its original trajectory, would have transformed into the Primordial World's first kind-hearted person… Daoist Red Cloud! The two share the same root and origin, thus they can be considered sworn brothers!

Therefore, Zhu Qingyun did not refuse that title.

"I am named Zhu Qingyun, styled Heavenly Fortune Dao Friend!"

"Second brother, you may be named Zhu Red Cloud, styled Great Fortune Dao Person!"

Zhu Qingyun spoke bluntly, and at the same time, the Auspicious Cloud's golden lotus, jeweled pendant, and hanging pearls floated over.

This had merged into the Auspicious Cloud, containing the Primordial World, which is now the wind, fire, and water threefold source power within the Literary Dao Great World, re-refined by Zhu Qingyun.

Strands of world power containing the Literary Dao's laws and the earth's source were extracted by Zhu Qingyun and injected into the three Myriad Heavens spiritual treasures.

"The method of spiritual treasure fusion!"

Zhu Qingyun gave a low shout; instantly, the three Myriad Heavens spiritual treasures merged, the power of the Literary Dao's worldly laws and the earth's wind, fire, water source poured in! Zhu Qingyun's complexion quickly turned pale, he spat out mouthfuls of Dao blood, staining the gradually forming golden cloud blood-red! The fusion of these three top-tier innate spiritual treasures gave Red Cloud an immeasurably strong foundation! "Great Fortune Dao Person, hurry up and manifest form!"

Great Fortune's consciousness entered the already Chaos-level spiritual treasure Red Cloud, and a handsome, benevolent-looking man appeared before the several people.

"Boom—rumble!"

Yet another spiritual treasure assuming form that Heaven and Earth cannot tolerate arose; the will of the Heavenly Dao was about to unleash the tribulation of forming, but Zhu Qingyun's body surged with overwhelming luck and merit power, instantly scattering the tribulation!

"I, the humble daoist Hongyun, have paid respects to elder brother!"

Hongyun is an innate divine sage; unlike Zhu Qingyun, who upon birth lacks inherited memory, his true spirit actually possesses the complete inheritance of the 'Qi' of Pangu the Great God! 'Just after birth, he's only at the mid-stage of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal?!'

Sensing Hongyun's aura, Zhu Qingyun found it hard to believe.

You must know, Hongyun's current foundation has fused with the power of the world and the essence of earth, wind, water, and fire, forming a Chaos spiritual treasure!

"Elder brother, it's like this: I have inherited the 'Qi' of Pangu the Great God, but it is an incomplete Nine Revolutions Spirit Technique."

"If my cultivation were a bit higher when I take form, it would affect my future limit!"

The Three Purities inherit the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, the Twelve Ancestor Witches inherit the Nine Revolutions Origin Technique, and Hongyun inherits the Nine Revolutions Spirit Technique; a thought unbidden arose in Zhu Qingyun's mind.

If I could gather the complete cultivation method of Pangu's essence, energy, and spirit, relying on my heaven-defying comprehension, could I develop a complete Pangu Divine Technique? He shook his head, and Zhu Qingyun temporarily suppressed this thought.

"These are my elder brother Yin-Yang, second elder brother Qian-Kun, and my three disciples Fuxi, Nüwa, and Ao Tian!"

"Elder brother, second brother, Hongyun shares the same origin as me; naturally he should be my second brother!" Zhu Qingyun introduced them, and Hongyun naturally exchanged greetings with Yin-Yang and the others.

Afterwards, Zhu Qingyun turned his head again and instructed Hongyun.

"Second brother, although Pangu the Great God's techniques are good, after all this is only a fragment; after attaining Great Luo, we should focus on comprehending the Great Dao!"

"Your physical form contains the worldly power of the Wen Dao laws and the essence of earth, wind, water, and fire that I created!"

"Our physical essences are both formed from Pangu the Great God's vast righteous qi; in cultivating the Wen Dao laws we naturally have divine aid—you must not abandon the root for the branches!"

"Abandon the Wen Dao most suited to us and instead wholeheartedly study Pangu the Great God's inherited techniques!"

"It's not that Pangu the Great God's inherited techniques are bad, but rather the Wen Dao is the proper Great Dao path for the two of us!"

"I understand!"

Hongyun knew his elder brother feared he would go astray, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Zhu Qingyun, having aided Hongyun's assuming form, had his origin damaged; seeing Hongyun comprehend his meaning, he hastily took out the Three Light Divine Water and consumed it.

The workings of Creation and Life's Great Dao caused Zhu Qingyun's injuries to swiftly heal under their influence.

Meanwhile, countless faint origins were drawn from the myriad heavenly treasures outside his body; Zhu Qingyun's Wen Dao great world origin was replenished, and he instantly returned to peak condition! At this moment, the complete Chaos spiritual treasure's main body aided Zhu Qingyun's physical cultivation to forcibly break through that final limit! A surge of vigorous qi and blood rose from the top of Zhu Qingyun's head, and his physical form instantly broke through to the late stage of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal! 【Your physical body has broken the limit, breaking through to the late stage of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal; as the venerable of the Martial Dao, you have gained some insight into the Martial Dao, current mastery, 71%!】

Just as when the Martial Dao was created, the Great Dao gave feedback; as the venerable of the Martial Dao, Zhu Qingyun instantly grasped half of the Martial Dao's principles.

At this moment, Zhu Qingyun, whose physical form had been forcibly broken through, naturally also automatically increased his mastery of the Martial Dao's principles! 'The method of spiritual treasure fusion!'

Zhu Qingyun threw out the thirty-six Dinghai Divine Pearls; the origin of each Dinghai Divine Pearl was extracted and all fused into the last one.

Under Zhu Qingyun's control, the primordial auspicious clouds continuously washed the last Dinghai Divine Pearl with streams of vast righteous qi! Originally azure, the Dinghai Divine Pearl gradually turned gold-yellow under his ceaseless washing! The essence of the Dinghai Divine Pearl kept changing, and finally it reached a certain limit.

The divine pearl shattered, its origin power combining with vast righteous qi to form a radiant golden bead! Countless luck and merit power surged from within Zhu Qingyun's body, pouring into the bead, forming an innate merit treasure! The Auspicious Clouds Divine Pearl!

At this moment, the Auspicious Clouds Divine Pearl replaced the positions of the original Auspicious Clouds Golden Lotus, Auspicious Clouds Jeweled Necklace, and Auspicious Clouds Pendant, becoming one of Zhu Qingyun's core heavenly treasures!

"Luck, Yin-Yang, Creation... the great world opens!"

One after another, heavenly treasures rose and fell amidst the vast righteous qi, and one great world after another instantly came into being!

"The Imperial Sovereign great world opens!"

Within the Auspicious Clouds Divine Pearl, the myriad heavens were opened; the Imperial Sovereign principles fused into the world's origin, and three thousand Imperial Dao divine dragons linked together, forming a sheet that supported the entire heavens and earth! Vitality spread, and a high-level great thousand-world instantly took shape! Apart from the Martial Dao great world, Zhu Qingyun opened all his existing principles into corresponding great worlds!
