Chapter 55

Just as the innate pure yin qi of West Kunlun took form as the Queen Mother of the West, she became my disciple after I recommended her and she bowed to her master.

Just like the innate pure yin qi of West Kunlun that took form as the Queen Mother of the West, she became my disciple after I recommended her and she bowed to her master.

After recommending the Queen Mother of the West to Hongjun, who took her as a personal disciple, Yuanshi gained her favor and also received a top-grade innate spiritual treasure from Hongjun.

Translation: "After recommending the Queen Mother of the West to be accepted as Hongjun's personal disciple, Yuanshi not only earned a favor from her, but also received a top-grade innate spiritual treasure as a gift from Hongjun."

We will use Yuanshi.

Yuanshi's face was full of self-satisfaction, and his entire demeanor became composed.

Translation: "Yuanshi's face was full of self-satisfaction, and his whole bearing became composed."

It seems the Queen Mother of the West became Hongjun's personal disciple because of his recommendation.

The Three Pure Ones all have character flaws: the Supreme is scheming, Yuanshi is arrogant and narrow-minded, and Tongtian lacks sense; these were well known in their previous lives.

Translation: "The Three Pure Ones all have character flaws: the Supreme is scheming, Yuanshi is arrogant and narrow-minded, and Tongtian is lacking in common sense; these were well known in their previous lives."

the Supreme Tongtian

Logically, since the Three Pure Ones are manifestations of Pangu's divinity, they ought not to have such obvious character flaws.

Translation: "Logically, as the Three Pure Ones are transformations of Pangu's divinity, they ought not to have such obvious character flaws."

Could it be because Rahu said that Hongjun seized part of the Three Pure Ones' origin? 'Daoist Yuanshi, why do you call yourself Pangu Orthodoxy?'

Translation: "Could it be because of what Rahu said earlier, that Hongjun seized part of the Three Pure Ones' origin, leading to this? 'Daoist Yuanshi, why do you call yourself the Pangu Orthodoxy?'"

Rahu, Hongjun, Daoist Yuanshi, and Pangu Orthodoxy

Zhu Qingyun feigned doubt and asked.

Translation: "Zhu Qingyun feigned doubt and asked."

'We Three Pure Ones are manifestations of Pangu's primal spirit, so we naturally deserve the title of Pangu Orthodoxy.'

Translation: "'We Three Pure Ones are formed from Pangu's primordial spirit, so we naturally deserve the title of Pangu Orthodoxy.'"

In the Primordial Wasteland world, the Pangu Orthodoxy is favored by fortune and enjoys the greatest legacy of heaven's opening from Pangu. Reflecting that the Three Pure Ones were the supreme deity of Daoism in past lives, Zhu Qingyun saw that this Primordial Wasteland's Hongjun clearly had a major problem, so he tried to win them over.

In the Primordial Wasteland world, fortune and the legacy of heaven's opening are tied to the supreme deity of Daoism and the Primordial Wasteland's Hongjun.

Translation: "The Pangu Orthodoxy is favored by fortune in the Primordial Wasteland world, enjoying the greatest legacy of Pangu's opening of heaven. Zhu Qingyun, reflecting that the Three Pure Ones were the supreme deity of Daoism in their previous lives, saw that this Primordial Wasteland's Hongjun clearly had a problem, and thus wanted to test whether he could win them over."

Translation: "'I've heard that Mount Buzhou has twelve ancestral witches, formed from Pangu's essence blood; are they also part of the Pangu Orthodoxy?'"

We must use Mount Buzhou from glossary.

'If you do not cultivate your primal spirit, you cannot bear the name of Pangu Orthodoxy!'

Translation: "'If one does not cultivate the primordial spirit, one cannot bear the name of Pangu Orthodoxy.'"

Yuanshi's expression was full of disdain.

Translation: "Yuanshi's expression was full of disdain."

'I've heard that in the East Sea there is a great adept named Daoist Tianyun, who embodies Pangu's heart and mouth righteous vital energy, cultivating both flesh and primal spirit together, and is a mighty divine ability user of the Primordial Wasteland—does he qualify as Pangu Orthodoxy?'

In the East Sea, Daoist Tianyun cultivates righteous vital energy, embodying a great divine ability user of the Primordial Wasteland who follows Pangu Orthodoxy.

Translation: "'I've heard there is a great ability in the East Sea, called Daoist Tianyun, who is formed from Pangu's heart and mouth's righteous vital energy, cultivating both flesh and primordial spirit, and is a renowned great divine ability user of the Primordial Wasteland—does he deserve the title of Pangu Orthodoxy?'"

Zhu Qingyun asked without blushing, like a vendor praising his own melons.

Translation: "Zhu Qingyun's face showed no embarrassment as he asked, like an old woman selling melons, boasting about himself."

'Based on his foundation, Daoist Tianyun could bear the name of Pangu Orthodoxy, but my master says he is a Chaos demon, so he naturally cannot be Pangu Orthodoxy!'

Translation: "'Based on his foundation, Daoist Tianyun could bear the name of Pangu Orthodoxy, but my master says Daoist Tianyun is a Chaos demon, so he naturally cannot be Pangu Orthodoxy.'"

Chaos demon

Yuanshi paused after hearing it, his expression showing some hesitation, but he still steeled himself to speak.

Translation: "Yuanshi paused upon hearing this, his expression somewhat hesitant, but he still steeled himself and spoke."

'Does whatever Hongjun says go? Or are you, Daoist friend, merely trying to have the Three Pure Ones occupy the name of Pangu Orthodoxy and monopolize the legacy of Pangu's fortune?'

Zhu Qingyun shook his head and exposed Yuanshi's petty thoughts in one breath.

Translation: "Zhu Qingyun shook his head and immediately saw through Yuanshi's petty thoughts."

'Daoist Qingdi, I originally wanted to recommend you to my master—how dare you insult me like this?'

Translation: "'Daoist Qingdi, I originally intended to recommend you to my master—how dare you insult me like this?'"

Daoist Qingdi

Yuanshi's petty thoughts were exposed, and he instantly flew into a rage. This narrow-minded, heavy-faced one prepared to give Zhu Qingyun a lesson: 'Jade Clear Divine Thunder!'

Translation: "Yuanshi, having his petty thoughts exposed, flew into a rage; with his petty and vindictive nature, he immediately prepared to teach Zhu Qingyun a lesson: 'Jade Clear Divine Thunder!'"

Jade Clear Divine Thunder

This is the Thunder Dao great divine ability that Yuanshi comprehended from the Purple Sky Divine Thunder! He declared, 'Heaven cannot have thunder!'

Translation: "This is the great divine ability of Thunder Dao that Yuanshi comprehended from the Purple Sky Divine Thunder: 'I say, heaven cannot have thunder!'"

Purple Sky Divine Thunder, Thunder Dao great divine ability

Gazing at the Jade Clear Divine Thunder brewing in the sky, Zhu Qingyun gave a soft shout.

Translation: "Gazing at the Jade Clear Divine Thunder brewing in the sky, Zhu Qingyun gave a soft shout."

This is the Wen Dao great divine ability he created by linking heaven and earth with righteous vital energy—words become law, mouth contains heavenly law. Linking heaven and earth, within a radius of ten thousand li everything becomes a domain. In this domain, as long as an opponent's insight into the Great Dao cannot break through Zhu Qingyun's Wen Dao principles, he is the absolute ruler. See, as Zhu Qingyun's words fell, the Jade Clear Divine Thunder rolled a few times, as if erased by a majestic existence, instantly vanishing into nothing! 'How... how is this possible!'

He possesses righteous vital energy and Wen Dao great divine ability; his words become law, his mouth contains heavenly law, linking heaven and earth, within a radius of ten thousand li all becomes a domain, embodying the Great Dao and Wen Dao principles, wielding Jade Clear Divine Thunder as a majestic existence.

Translation: "This is the Wen Dao great divine ability he newly created by linking heaven and earth with his righteous vital energy—words become law, mouth contains heavenly law; linking heaven and earth, a radius of ten thousand li becomes a domain. Within this domain, as long as an opponent's comprehension of the Great Dao cannot break through Zhu Qingyun's Wen Dao principles, Zhu Qingyun is the absolute ruler. See, as Zhu Qingyun's words fell, the Jade Clear Divine Thunder rolled a few times, as if erased by a majestic existence, instantly vanishing into nothing! 'How... how is this possible!'"

We need to keep exclamation.

Yuanshi Tianzun stared in utter astonishment; this divine ability had already surpassed his comprehension.

Translation: "Yuanshi Tianzun stared in shock at this scene; this great divine ability had already surpassed his comprehension."

We must use Yuanshi Tianzun from glossary.

At once, Yuanshi Tianzun realized that Daoist Qingdi was certainly not the person's real name; he was undoubtedly a renowned top-tier divine ability user of the Primordial Wasteland! 'I am called Tianyun, formed from righteous vital energy; logically we share the same origin as you Three Pure Ones, both being offspring of the father god—why would you take Hongjun as your master?' Zhu Qingyun saw no point in courtesying with Yuanshi; although Yuanshi later became one of the Six Saints of the Primordial Wasteland, to him the present Yuanshi could be obliterated with a snap of the fingers.

In the Primordial Wasteland, the Six Saints, including Tianyun, embody righteous vital energy, the Three Pure Ones, and are the offspring of the father god.

Translation: "Immediately, Yuanshi Tianzun realized that Qingdi was not the person's real name; he was undoubtedly a renowned top-tier great divine ability user of the Primordial Wasteland! 'I am called Tianyun, formed from righteous vital energy; logically, we share the same origin as you Three Pure Ones, both being offspring of the father god—why do you take Hongjun as your master?' Zhu Qingyun couldn't be bothered to play along with Yuanshi; although Yuanshi would later become one of the Six Saints of the Primordial Wasteland, to him now, Yuanshi could be flicked away with a snap of the fingers."

Moreover, relying on his immense merit and fortune, he can bear the karmic burden of slaying Yuanshi! 'Can you summon your elder brother and third brother? I, your humble self, can take you away from Kunlun; I will associate with you as peers and gladly impart the Dao to you—would that be acceptable?'

The humble I, the elder brother, and the third brother of Kunlun possess merit and fortune.

Translation: "Moreover, relying on his immense merit and fortune, he could bear the karmic burden of slaying Yuanshi! 'You can summon your elder brother and third brother; I can take you all away from Kunlun, I will associate with you as peers, and I am willing to teach you the Dao—would that be acceptable?'"

Zhu Qingyun still wanted to try to win over the Three Pure Ones; moreover, taking them away would weaken Hongjun. In the original course, after Hongjun attained the Dao and became a sage, he only accepted the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa as his four great personal disciples during the three lectures at the Purple Sky Palace, while Zhunti and Jieyin were nominal disciples.

Having attained the Dao and become a sage, he resides in the Purple Sky Palace with Nüwa, Zhunti, Jieyin, the four great personal disciples, and the nominal disciples.

Translation: "Zhu Qingyun still wanted to test whether he could win over the Three Pure Ones; moreover, taking them away would weaken Hongjun. In the original course, Hongjun would only take the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa as his four great personal disciples, and Zhunti and Jieyin as nominal disciples after he attained the Dao and became a sage, during the three lectures at the Purple Sky Palace."

In this life, for some unknown reason, Hongjun actually took on disciples early, and even came up with the title 'Thirty-Six Immortals of the Mystic Gate'.

the Thirty-Six Immortals of the Mystic Gate

Translation: "In this life, for some unknown reason, Hongjun actually took on disciples early, and even came up with the title of the Thirty-Six Immortals of the Mystic Gate."

Although Zhu Qingyun does not know Hongjun's current purpose in taking disciples, he assumes that accepting disciples would help Hongjun improve himself.

Translation: "Although Zhu Qingyun does not know Hongjun's present purpose in taking disciples, he supposes that taking disciples would help Hongjun increase his own strength."

Zhu Qingyun guessed correctly; Hongjun's reason for choosing to take disciples early, and preparing to accept so many at once, naturally has its cause.

Translation: "Zhu Qingyun's guess was indeed correct; Hongjun's reason for choosing to take disciples early, and preparing to take so many at once, naturally also has a cause."

Too many changes have occurred in the Primordial Wasteland, and increasingly more events deviate from Hongjun's original calculations.

Translation: "Too many changes have occurred in the Primordial Wasteland, and more and more events have deviated from Hongjun's original calculations."

Leaving aside Hongjun's origin, his way of increasing his cultivation is unlike that of Primordial Wasteland beings—including the reincarnated forms of Chaos demon gods—who need to comprehend the Great Dao. He merely needs to continually encroach upon the Primordial Wasteland, for example by gathering Primordial Wasteland spiritual treasures and spreading the Dao there to draw upon the fortune of living beings, and his cultivation will rise.

The Chaos demon god's reincarnated form embodies the Great Dao, guarding the Primordial Wasteland's spiritual treasures and the fortune of living beings.

Translation: "Hongjun's origins need not be discussed; his way of increasing cultivation is not like the beings of the Primordial Wasteland, including the reincarnated forms of Chaos demon gods, who need to comprehend the Great Dao! He merely needs to continually erode the Primordial Wasteland—for example, by gathering its spiritual treasures and spreading the Dao within it to draw upon the fortune of living beings—and his cultivation will rise."

Or perhaps it's not about raising his cultivation at all; Hongjun's cultivation is already extremely high, and these actions merely speed up the recovery of his cultivation.

Translation: "Or rather, it is not about raising his cultivation; Hongjun's own cultivation is already extremely high, and these measures merely speed up the recovery of his cultivation."

If he could gather the vast majority of innate treasures of the Primordial Wasteland, he—recognized as the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Wasteland—could even unite with the Primordial Wasteland Heavenly Dao and become the Lord of the Heavenly Dao.

The Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Wasteland upholds the Primordial Wasteland Heavenly Dao as the Lord of the Heavenly Dao.

Translation: "If he could gather the vast majority of innate things of the Primordial Wasteland, he, recognized as the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Wasteland, could even unite with the Primordial Wasteland's Heavenly Dao and become the Lord of the Heavenly Dao."

By using the Heavenly Dao to suppress the Earthly and Human Daos, continually eroding the foundation of the Primordial Wasteland world, he could even devour the entire Primordial Wasteland world.

The Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao govern the Primordial Wasteland world.

Translation: "Furthermore, by suppressing the Earthly Dao and Human Dao with the Heavenly Dao, he could continually weaken the foundation of the Primordial Wasteland world, and even devour the entire Primordial Wasteland world."

The Primordial Wasteland world is the fruition of Pangu's Dao.

Translation: "The Primordial Wasteland world is Pangu's Dao fruition."

If he could devour the Primordial Wasteland world, even a weakened version would allow him to glimpse the realm he has long craved. At this moment, Hongjun senses that his slowly recovering cultivation has suddenly stalled.

realm

Translation: "If he could devour the Primordial Wasteland world, even if only a weakened Primordial Wasteland, Hongjun could thereby probe the realm he had long sought; at this moment, Hongjun sensed that his slowly recovering cultivation had suddenly stalled."

Because Yuanshi's heart was already shaken after hearing Zhu Qingyun's words.

Translation: "Because Yuanshi's heart had already been shaken after hearing Zhu Qingyun's words."

Hongjun immediately turned pale with shock, his heart trembled, and he at once began to calculate with his fingers.

Translation: "Hongjun immediately turned pale, his heart trembled, and he at once began to calculate with his fingers."

'West Kunlun! Who dares, right under my nose, to scheme against my disciple?'

A disciple of West Kunlun.

Translation: "'West Kunlun! Who dares, right under my nose, to scheme against my disciple?'"

The master and disciple's fortunes are intertwined; Hongjun used this to deduce the cause, and without caring for his image, he transformed into a beam of immortal light before the outer sect disciples and raced straight to West Kunlun.

The outer sect disciples possess fortune.

Translation: "The master and disciple's fortunes are linked; Hongjun thus figured out the cause, and without caring for his image, he turned into a streak of immortal light before the outer sect disciples and raced straight to West Kunlun."

Hongjun's acceptance of disciples follows strict criteria; it is not a matter of casually grabbing anyone. These disciples must hold significant weight in the Primordial Wasteland, and their ties to the Primordial Wasteland world should be as deep as possible.

A disciple in the Primordial Wasteland experiences the Primordial Wasteland world.

Translation: "Hongjun's acceptance of disciples follows certain criteria; it is not simply a matter of saying and grabbing anyone to make a disciple. These disciples must have significant weight in the Primordial Wasteland, and their ties to the Primordial Wasteland world should be as deep as possible."

Could it be that Hongjun could simply pick a weak demon race individual as an outer sect disciple and thereby aid his cultivation recovery?

The outer sect disciples face the Demon Race.

Translation: "Could it be that Hongjun could simply pick a weak demon race outer sect disciple and have him help restore his cultivation?"

That is obviously impossible! An outer sect disciple capable of aiding Hongjun's cultivation recovery must at least have a foundation like the innate divine Thunder Marsh.

In the Thunder Marsh, innate divine forces prevail.

Translation: "This is clearly impossible! An outer sect disciple capable of helping Hongjun restore his cultivation must at least have the foundation of something like Thunder Marsh, an innate divine entity, to be of any aid to Hongjun."

And in West Kunlun, as Zhu Qingyun persuaded him, Yuanshi weighed the pros and cons and increasingly felt that Zhu Qingyun's proposal was not bad.

West Kunlun

Translation: "And in West Kunlun, as Zhu Qingyun's persuasion continued, Yuanshi weighed the pros and cons and increasingly felt that Zhu Qingyun's proposal was not bad."

After all, the Three Pure Ones embody Pangu Orthodoxy, whereas Hongjun is merely a reincarnated form of the Chaos demon god slain by Great God Pangu, merely seizing the opportunity to be born earlier.

In Pangu Orthodoxy, Great God Pangu appears as the reincarnated form of the Chaos demon god.

Translation: "After all, the Three Pure Ones are the Pangu Orthodoxy, whereas Hongjun is merely a reincarnated form of the Chaos demon god slain by the Great God Pangu, merely having seized the opportunity to be born first."

Yuanshi is very confident, believing that if he and Hongjun had been born in the same era, his achievements would surely surpass Hongjun's.

Translation: "Yuanshi is very confident, believing that if he had been born at the same time as Hongjun, his achievements would certainly surpass Hongjun's."
