Chapter 281

After a long while, the three, having vented their emotions, gradually calmed their minds, and the excitement in their eyes slowly subsided.

Exhaling a breath, the three exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter together.

"The supreme systems of our Alchemy, Array, and Artifact paths are merely in their embryonic form; the road ahead is still long. Let us all make haste."

"The sooner the Three Pure Ones Pill and Artifact Group opens for business, the sooner we will reap benefits. Let us all go forth to refine artifacts and alchemy pills to test if this method works."

"If it is possible, then we must thoroughly perfect these three supreme systems."

"Even if our cultivation bases are insufficient to deduce them to profound depths, even the first few realms will suffice; they are enough to change the entire Honghuang."

As the head of the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing took a deep breath to calm himself, then spoke steadily.

"Yes, Eldest Brother."

"I understand; I shall go do it now."

Yuqing and Shangqing's expressions grew serious, and they nodded in succession.

Just as Taiqing said, for the paths of Alchemy, Arrays, and Artifacts, they had only created an embryonic form of a supreme system.

It was merely a beginning, not a true supreme system; it was too early to be excited, and being happy for a moment was enough; naturally, they still needed to make haste.

The Great Era has arrived; the sooner they seize the initiative, the more advantageous it will be for them.

Voom!!!

Without hesitation, the three returned one after another to their respective Dao halls, entering cultivation chambers to refine alchemy pills, forge artifacts, or set up arrays.

Creation Grotto-Heaven.

"Though it is an embryo, everything is difficult at the start; once the beginning is made, the rest becomes easier. When the supreme Alchemy, Array, and Artifact paths are revealed to the world, they will surely cause a great uproar throughout the entire Honghuang, and at that time, the Supreme Era will have arrived."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and as if a series of future scenes flashed within his eyes.

Words like a whisper emerged from Li Mo's mouth; under his unconscious relaxation, every character manifested numerous strange phenomena.

It was as if the sound of the Dao echoed, and the principles of the Dao were evolving, profound and deep, ineffable and beyond description, filled with many divine wonders.

The Supreme Era!

Many supreme systems, supreme systems standing in great numbers; this is the Supreme Era!

He has opened the path of the Supreme Road era, but the era of supreme systems will be opened by the beings of Honghuang; only then will it be true glory, true grandeur!

Starting from zero, filling the path of Honghuang bit by bit, transforming Honghuang bit by bit; thus is the true Supreme Honghuang!

"It seems I must help them a bit."

Thinking of something, Li Mo chuckled softly and thought silently.

Voom!!!

With a wave of his large hand, the void became translucent, as if lines and patterns appeared before Li Mo's eyes.

Endless lines and patterns crisscrossed, connecting the void and the universe, as if forming the macrocosm of the entire plane.

This is the manifestation beneath the true heaven and earth!

It is also the core of a plane and even of the heavens and myriad realms!

Just as that saying goes, planes are constructed by the Three Thousand Great Daos, and these are the Great Dao and the rules!

As his gaze focused, lines of causality, concepts, fate, and others gradually magnified in Li Mo's eyes; every line seemed to connect to the land of illusion, linking to every living being in the Honghuang plane, and even penetrating into the vast heavens and myriad realms.

Authority · Torch of Civilization!

Authority · Inversion of Yin and Yang!

Supreme Divine Technique · Six Paths Millstone!

Mobilizing numerous authorities and circulating numerous divine techniques, in a single thought, lines generated a profound aura under Li Mo's fluctuation, as if becoming chaotic, or as if being reorganized and altered.

Truly profound and mysterious, with boundless subtlety.

Once everything was complete, Li Mo, with a calm expression, waved his hand to erase the image of the root source appearing in the void.

If it were only his cultivation base, manipulating the root source of the heavens and myriad realms would be incredibly difficult, but with numerous authorities in his possession, it was different; to achieve it was a matter of ease!

Others at this level cultivate the Great Dao and improve their Daoist conduct, while Li Mo is already playing with... the root source!

Time passed swiftly; in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.

On Mount Kunlun.

Beams of divine light flashed; within the Taiqing Palace, the Three Pure Ones had gathered once again.

Before they could speak, the Three Pure Ones saw each other's eyes, and instantly, all three laughed.

"It succeeded!"

"It succeeded!"

"It succeeded!"

The three spoke in unison.

The Supreme Method, the embryonic form is complete!

"Since it succeeded, that means our idea is feasible and can be continued; what needs to be done is to find a way to turn this embryo into a true supreme system."

"Thus, we, the Three Pure Ones, will be the ones who truly establish a system!"

"And we will also push Honghuang into a new realm, into new development!"

Taiqing's eyes shone brightly as he spoke heavily.

Yuqing and Shangqing, though they did not speak, were equally overwhelmed with emotion and excitement.

"The road ahead is confusing, but we can copy... hmm, borrow inspiration from novels, combine it with our own Dao, and add the combined strength of the three of us."

"Just like that common saying among mortals, three cobblers are enough to equal Zhuge Liang; thus, it is enough!"

Taiqing spoke with ringing strength.

"Eldest Brother, what do we do next? You speak, and we will listen to you."

Shangqing said impatiently.

"Let us proceed step by step; after all, there is no distinction between before and after. Very well, let me begin. I will state my thoughts, and you shall supplement them."

"First, let us deduce my Supreme Elixir Dao system. You may use this to familiarize yourselves and comprehend it, after which you shall each take your turn."

After a brief pause, Taiqing spoke.

"Good."

"Yes."

Yuqing and Shangqing nodded, raising no objections.

Just as Taiqing had said, the Three Pure Ones were bound together; if one prospered, all prospered, and if one suffered, all suffered. Whether one went first or last made little difference, since they had to proceed simultaneously anyway, so the order truly mattered little.

"I deduce that the foundation of the Supreme Elixir Dao system lies in the medicinal effect, in the medicinal power; this is the core."

"Previously, I used the essence of elixirs, refining them with the Great Dao to enhance their specific properties. This has already been proven feasible. Thus, what I must do next is simply to form a complete system."

"I have an idea: if we allow the elixir to cultivate on its own, increasing its strength and enlarging itself, would this not solve the problem?"

Taiqing pondered and spoke.

"Eldest Brother, this method will not work. If we do this, we lose the essence. Ask yourself: if an elixir can cultivate on its own, does that not mean it possesses intelligence? If so, should it be eaten or not?"

"Very well, let us say that for the sake of cultivation, one could ignore this and consume the elixir. But human nature is greedy; everyone is the same. Since the elixir can cultivate, why not let it cultivate endlessly? The higher it goes, the better, would the effect not be even greater?"

"But if so, how can it be used? Even if one ignores this and consumes it directly, would that not render all previous efforts futile? If used too early, the medicinal effect will not increase much; if used too late, having reached this stage, would one still abandon all that effort?"

Shangqing shook his head and said.

"That is indeed the logic."

Hearing this, Taiqing frowned in agreement and said, "But if so, we have not a single thread of thought. This is undoubtedly falling into a dead loop."

"If we wish the elixir to continuously improve from its foundation, it must improve itself, unless we ignore all this and simply refine whatever grade of elixir is needed."

"But if we do this, how can it be considered a complete system?"

Hearing the two converse, Yuqing smiled.

"Eldest Brother, Third Brother, you have both walked into a dead end. Actually, the solution is very simple."

Yuqing spoke.

"Oh? Second Brother, speak quickly."

Taiqing's eyes brightened as he said.

"Since it is a complete system, we must first break the whole into parts. Powerful elixir? Weak elixir? No! Since it is refined with the Great Dao, there is no distinction between strong and weak."

"All that needs to be done is one thing: growth potential!"

"If an elixir has growth potential, then it holds infinite possibilities. This is nothing worth debating; this is the core. Making the elixir generate spiritual awareness is even an imperative task."

"As for whether to use it once it has spiritual awareness: Eldest Brother, Third Brother, have you forgotten that in many novels, the Medicine King only takes a single root, then allows it to continue growing? The elixir is the same."
