Chapter 262: The Name of the Three Pure Ones Echoes Through the Heavens, Taiwei Yuan Shi

Before the Primordial, the Supreme of Da Luo.

These eight characters are universally acknowledged in the Hong Huang Zhen Jie.

Cultivators may first journey to the era of "Before the Primordial" to obtain the Great Great Pangu Axe's True Seal, then become a Da Luo Zhi Zun.

Or they may first attain Da Luo, then seek the True Seal in "Before the Primordial."

But no matter the path, if you wish to thrive in the Hong Huang Zhen Jie, to witness the grand spectacle of creation, or to further refine yourself after Da Luo, gaining Great Great Pangu Zhen Ren's recognition is an indispensable step.

This step is not only a test of your Dao achievements but also a guide to your future path.

Without visiting "Before the Primordial," you cannot know how mighty Da Luo can truly be.

Without visiting "Before the Primordial," you cannot imagine how invincible Great Great Pangu, the creator of the Hong Huang Zhen Jie, truly is.

Who stands atop the end of the Dao? One glimpse of Great Great Pangu, and all Dao becomes empty!

Whether you are a Chaos Mo Shen who governs myriad Daos or a Primordial Shen with boundless power capable of reversing time and space, before Great Great Pangu's axe, all beings are equal.

The Dao has no form, yet gives birth to Heaven and Earth; the Dao has no emotion, yet governs Sun and Moon; the Dao has no name, yet nurtures all things.

This description of the Dao applies perfectly to Great Great Pangu Zhen Ren.

With the end of creation, the sacred beings who had ascended through the timelines of various realms withdrew from the era of creation.

Some succeeded in attaining Dao; others failed.

Those who succeeded—after experiencing the splendor of Chaos and Great Great Pangu's great axe—directly condensed their own Da Luo Dao Guo, welcoming the baptism of countless Daos.

Thus they transcended the river of time and space, the boundless realms, the myriad worlds, and achieved eternal freedom.

If they failed but possessed sufficient foundation and good fortune, at the instant they crossed the source point of time and space, they transformed into a time-space fish, sinking into the river of time and space, with a chance of revival someday.

If their foundation was insufficient and fortune poor, they perished alongside the Chaos Mo Shen, dissolving directly into Dao.

Without a great master to rescue them, they had no hope even of retreating back to the source point.

This is why many sacred beings approach the era of creation with extreme caution.

Some even prefer to refine themselves endlessly across various realms, first condensing their Dao Guo and attaining the position of Da Luo Zhi Zun before venturing into "Before the Primordial."

This approach greatly increases tolerance for failure—if they fail, they can still return to the Hong Huang era and try again.

Even if they perish alongside unfortunate Chaos Mo Shen, there's still a chance of awakening, isn't there?

For instance, if one day you're lucky enough to encounter Hong Huang Zhen Jie's great summoner—Shen Ni—he might directly summon you back to Hong Huang.

Of course, this excludes the above sacred beings.

There are also failed cases—those who forcibly reversed time and space without possessing boundless power, inevitably failing to reach the era of creation and unable to succeed in attaining Dao.

These sacred beings ultimately sank into oblivion or retreated, each fate different.

"This creation has yielded great gains!"

"Indeed! Not only did we obtain Great Great Pangu Zhen Ren's True Seal as desired, but we also fulfilled our long-held wish to wield the Creation Axe and seal the sacred beings!"

"Great Great Pangu's One Qi transformed into the Three Pure Ones. Now perhaps we may proudly call ourselves: Great Great Pangu Zheng Zong!"

"Great Great Pangu Zheng Zong? That sounds a bit embarrassing," said Yu Yu Chendao Jun, shaking his head—he still had some sense of modesty.

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing chuckled: "Why be embarrassed? We rightfully received the Great God Great Great Pangu's gift—who could possibly object?"

"This is reasonable."

Tai Shang nodded: "We have obtained the title of Great Great Pangu's Taiwei Yuan Shen—that is the ultimate certification in 'Before the Primordial'!"

"All Primordial Shen sought to attain Dao through Great Great Pangu, yet we secured the status of Great Great Pangu's Taiwei Yuan Shen—what does this prove?"

"It proves we have taken a solid step on the path to attaining Dao through Great Great Pangu!"

"This represents the direction of the Dao—once we hold this authority, we must not let it slip away!"

"You two Dao brothers speak truly," said Yu Yu Chendao Jun, gently nodding.

This identity is not merely a claim—it concerns the future Dao authority of the Three Pure Ones.

As the Three Pure Ones crossed the source point of time and space and stood upon the river of time, a lion's roar echoed through the void, and a five-colored lion took form.

Its body shimmered with pure, radiant divine light; atop its head rose five-colored auspicious clouds, manifesting scenes of myriad heavens, as golden lotuses swayed and fell, and jeweled garlands scattered.

It joyfully prostrated before Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing.

Then the Blue Ox took form, its hooves treading upon vast purple Qi, a great Dao vortex glowing brilliantly upon its forehead.

The Primordial Kui Ox took form, surrounded by auspicious light and auspicious mist, its two horns shaped like crescent moons, exhaling with thunderous sounds, its copper-bell eyes gleaming with sharp, sword-like radiance.

"Moo~~"

All three joyfully roared and approached, prostrating at the feet of Tai Shang and Yu Yu Chendao Jun.

These three divine beasts, having followed their masters on this opportunity, gained primordial foundations—their Dao paths now clear, their futures promising.

The Three Pure Ones departed riding divine beasts, and returned riding divine beasts.

It seemed nothing had changed.

Yet their journey and return saw the end of one era and ushered in another.

The era of Tai Yi Shen stirring the winds and clouds had ended.

A great new era of Da Luo Zhi Zun was about to begin!

A new era, a new outlook!

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing floated serenely atop the five-colored lion, smiling: "Let us bring something different to this new era."

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing once had a thought: when he journeyed to "Before the Primordial" and attained Da Luo, he would do something grand.

Though becoming Great Great Pangu and sealing the sacred beings with the Creation Axe was already excellent.

But that was the pinnacle of the last era—this new era must have its own fresh outlook.

"Dao brother, what's your idea?" Tai Shang's eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.

On the back of the Kui Ox, Yu Yu Chendao Jun also wore an expression of curiosity.

Having spent much time with Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing and Tai Shang, his tolerance for such "activities" had greatly increased.

He now willingly joined their "activities."

If he continued associating with Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing and the others, who knew if Yu Yu Chendao Jun could still preserve the last shred of conscience among Hong Huang's sacred beings?

"Two Dao friends, sit still and watch my performance!"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing withdrew a jade tablet from his sleeve.

Upon the tablet was clearly inscribed: Dong Western Western Kunlun!

Then He cast the jade tablet into the river of time and space.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~

The mother river of time and space rippled in waves.

In the highest layer of the Shiqing Heaven of the 【Dao Zhen Jing】, the supreme divine form of 【Fuli Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Zun】, guarded by heavenly gods and true sages, suddenly opened His eyes.

Boundless auspicious light descended from the 【Dao Zhen Jing】.

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's divine form gradually grew majestic—He sat upon the five-colored lion, face like a full moon, eyes brimming with infinite wisdom and compassion;

Left hand holding Li Zhu, within which seemed to contain the Hong Meng world; right hand holding a Jade Jade Ruyi, manifesting the mysteries of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity's three lights; His figure shimmered like light and illusion, sacred and majestic.

Auspicious clouds of myriad heavens churned; countless golden lamps, golden lotuses, jeweled garlands, and dangling pearls rained down from the clouds, illuminating the boundless myriad heavens.

At this moment, in the supreme Hong Huang, the myriad heavens, the countless realms, everywhere, the sound of bells and chimes echoed, as if the voice of the Dao itself.

"One Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones: Yu Qing resides in Qingwei Heaven, the holy ascends to Yu Qing Jing, formed from primordial Qi, known as Tian Bao Jun, Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Miao Wu Shang Di!"

As these thirty-two characters of the exalted title were spoken, they echoed like heavenly tones across infinite time and space, shocking all sacred beings.

Along every timeline, a Western Western Kunlun stood tall; countless Tian Zun shadows appeared atop its peak, and all beings across boundless realms could hear the exalted name 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Zun】.

Moreover, with this true name spoken, countless myths about Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Zun naturally arose across all time and space.

Including but not limited to: Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang creating Heaven and Earth, Great Great Pangu Taiwei Yuan Shen's incarnation, the ancestral lord of Heaven, master of Yu Jingshan…

Thus it is said: Da Luo Zhi Zun, thought moves the myriad heavens.

This was shocking to those who had just attained Da Luo.

First, they had never imagined one could so brazenly manifest across the myriad heavens.

Second, Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's manifestation pierced through all constraints, radiating boundless Dao light directly into their own multiverses!

Instantly, across all myriad heavens, past, present, future, all sentient and insentient beings—from gods to plants and trees—knew a great lord named Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Zun had attained Dao.

Without sect or lineage, yet uniquely the origin of all things—thus named Taiwei Yuan Shi.

Governing all Dao as the supreme sovereign, ever dwelling in the Two Pure Realms, emerging above all heavens—thus called Tian Zun!

Hearing the name Taiwei Yuan Shi, boundless beings across the eternal sands of time and space felt moved and chanted: "Praise the Yu Qing Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Zun!"

"Praise Miao Wu Shang Di!"

"Praise Tian Bao Jun!"

The auspicious light radiated by the auspicious clouds enveloped the myriad heavens and worlds, bestowing blessings upon beings even as they offered praise.

Such an act—demonstrating rank, proclaiming fame, and expanding influence across the heavens—left newly attaining Da Luo sacred beings heartbroken:

"Why didn't we think of such a grand move first!"

Especially that lengthy exalted title, which opened the eyes of all Da Luo.

For it represented the Tian Zun's origin, authority, Dao field, true name, and even his lesser titles.

Proper, upright, and openly glorious!

Yet before anyone could recover, two more Tian Zun forms manifested across the heavens, one to the left, one to the right, appearing alongside 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Zun】.

Tai Shang and Yu Yu Chendao Jun nearly simultaneously imitated Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing, making declarations to the myriad heavens and boundless time and space.

"One Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones: Tai Qing resides in Dachi Heaven, the immortal ascends to Tai Qing Jing, formed from Xuan Qi, known as Shen Bao Jun, Dao De Tian Zun, Hun Taiwei Yuan Shang Di!"

"One Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones: Shang Qing resides in Yuyu Heaven, the true ascends to Shang Qing Jing, formed from Taiwei Yuan Qi, known as Ling Bao Jun, Ling Bao Tian Zun, Miao You Shang Di!"

Each also thirty-two characters long.

This sounds like a top-tier big shot.

All beings pay homage and praise.

The Great Loas of the myriad heavens were immensely envious: "We're all Great Loas, so why are you so good at this?"

They felt a stirring in their hearts, wanting to imitate.

But the information implied by that title still gave them pause.

If we copied the Three Pure Ones' titles, it'd be like publicly announcing our home address, door number, household members, real name, ID number, and even former names.

That's far too straightforward—it's practically demonic tactics!

As for why the Demon Ancestor doesn't follow suit, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou replied: Do you even know the prestige of announcing your true name when stepping out?

"Forget it. Isn't it just openly revealing one's true name to illuminate the myriad heavens?"

"We don't care!"

"We can't let this fine, unorthodox tradition of the Attack Hong Huang Attack Hong Huang Honghuang Zhenjie be corrected by you!"

"Great Great Pangu's True Lineage, the Three Pure Ones—play your way, we'll play ours!"

The host of Great Loas comforted themselves with sour grumbling.

As long as we stick to our unorthodox aesthetic, we can isolate you three proper types!

Then, in the next instant, they quietly bestowed upon themselves corresponding Great Loa titles.

Though they didn't openly illuminate the myriad heavens, they directly employed the infinite spacetime, eternal freedom technique, making all myths and legends belong to themselves.

From now on, attaining Great Loa status, adopting a corresponding title, and proclaiming authority will become mandatory steps to ascend to Great Loa Sovereignty. This is the precedent set by the Three Pure Ones—the tacit rule everyone accepts!

It is the will of the Great Loas.

Attack Hong Huang Attack Hong Huang Honghuang Zhenjie.

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing cast the jade tablet representing "Eastern Western Western Kunlun" into the River of Spacetime, and countless heavens simultaneously spawned a Western Western Kunlun ancestral vein.

As the Three Pure Ones neared the Attack Hong Huang reality, the Attack Hong Huang earth roared with thunderous vibrations.

"What's going on? What's happening?" Zhen Zhen Yuanzi, master of the Earth Book, looked bewildered. I just became a Great Loa Sovereign—already getting intensity dumped on me?

Reversing cause and effect? Fabricating an ancestral vein out of thin air?

Or is it that the destined sovereign has appeared, and Eastern Western Western Kunlun must emerge?

Zhen Zhen Yuanzi stared at the Earth Book, which revealed the boundary between east and west—where a majestic divine mountain was solidifying from void, connecting Western Western Western Kunlun and appearing within Attack Hong Huang's reality.

Also startled was Shi Metal Metal Qilin, master of the Earth Element Dao Fruit.

"Eastern Western Western Kunlun Mountain?" Shi Metal Metal Qilin gazed at the towering divine mountain, his brow slightly furrowed, inexplicably feeling a hint of aversion.

He immediately calculated, tracing through countless derived timelines.

Yet he saw nothing abnormal.

He could not penetrate the timeline jointly occupied by the Three Pure Ones.

"Strange!" Shi Metal Metal Qilin murmured, suspecting some sacred being had spread false rumors downstream in the River of Spacetime to frighten him.

The River of Spacetime—the vessel that ferries all existence.

"Squeak~~"

The little squirrel, returned from the Age of Creation, had not left. He returned here again.

Gazing at the empty boat, the little squirrel hugged a pinecone and sighed: "Ah, without a ferryman, it's oddly uncomfortable!"

"What's uncomfortable about it?"

The Three Pure Ones descended along the River of Spacetime. Before entering Attack Hong Huang Attack Hong Huang Honghuang Zhenjie, a white light shot from Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's third eye and landed directly in the boat.

"The ferryman's back!" the little squirrel exclaimed joyfully.

The white-robed Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "The River of Spacetime is a sacred place—how could it be without me, the ferryman?"

"But you—"

The white-robed Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing asked: "You've reclaimed your own Dao Fruit. Now you're a certified Great Loa Sovereign by Great Great Pangu. You've truly reached the shore—why not leave?"

"If you wanted to go, I couldn't find you."

"Why should I leave?" the little squirrel retorted without looking up. After savoring his pinecone, he pulled a fishing rod from empty space.

"The River of Spacetime can't be without a ferryman—nor can it be without me, the fisher!"

The white-robed Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing teased: "A fisher who never catches fish?"

"What do you mean, a fisher who never catches fish?"

The little squirrel declared confidently: "I fish for fate!"

"If I don't catch a fish, is it my fault? It's just not fate's time!"

"Besides, you, the ferryman, haven't ferried any passengers either—how dare you talk about me?"

The little squirrel's rebuttal made the white-robed Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing burst into laughter.

"They'll come—the fish will come, the passengers will come!"

In Attack Hong Huang Attack Hong Huang Honghuang Zhenjie, the moment the Three Pure Ones stepped into it, Eastern Western Western Kunlun Mountain fully took form.

Western Western Kunlun stood majestic, dominating the eight directions.

This mountain held boundless grotto-heavens and blessed lands, brimming with spiritual essence, crowned with strange peaks, graced by immortal lakes and clear springs, scattered throughout.

Endless exotic flowers and rare herbs, countless spiritual plants and precious medicines.

Roar!

A five-colored lion descended from the clouds, carrying Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing to the main peak.

Instantly, auspicious clouds swirled, ten thousand rays of radiance blazed, golden light shimmered, illuminating all directions.

"Rise!"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing raised a finger, and amid ethereal radiant light, a magnificent Jade Xu Palace surged from the earth.

Jade pavilions and crystal towers, hidden within mist and clouds, eaves soaring, beams carved and painted, exuding the grandeur of the immortal realm.

"From now on, this is our Three Pure Ones' sacred ground!" Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing laughed.

"Then Yu Chén will have to move back to Attack Hong Huang."

Tai Shang turned his head, his gaze teasingly fixed on Yu Chén Daojun: "Isn't that right, Supreme Lord of Shangqing's Yuyu Heaven, Lingbao Daode Daode Tianzun?"

Yu Chén Daojun smiled calmly: "Fine, fine, I'll move Biyou Heaven to Attack Hong Huang."

"I'll just transform it directly into Shangqing's Yuyu Heaven—is that acceptable?"

Saying this, Yu Chén Daojun gestured, and two spiritual lights descended from beyond heaven.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Two Senior Uncles!"

Duobao, now appearing as a youth, respectfully bowed before them, followed by a delicate, rosy-cheeked, red-lipped Water-Fire Child.

Duobao stepped forward and presented a jade-green token to Yu Chén Daojun.

The Daojun tossed the jade tablet into the air; boundless white primordial qi spread, instantly forming a vast universe that became Yuyu Heaven, hovering above Jade Xu Palace.

Correspondingly, a serene Shangqing Residence appeared beside Jade Xu Palace.

Having finished, Yu Chén Daojun looked at Tai Shang and smiled: "Friend, I've moved everything—my entire fortune, disciples, and even the child."

The Daojun's implication was unmistakable.

"Aren't I and Niu'er already here?" Tai Shang chuckled. He had no disciples, not even a single child.

"You just need a residence."

Tai Shang gestured, and the Mount Shouyang Mountain Grotto-Heaven transformed into a Bagua Seal, flying toward him. He hurled it into the air; dark-yellow qi spread, forming a grand universe that became Daichi Heaven.

Simultaneously, a herbal pavilion settled beside Jade Xu Palace.

"Brother, where's your Qingwei Heaven of Qingjing Realm?" Tai Shang asked Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing.

Yu Chén added: "Taiwei Yuan Shi Brother can't be as light-footed as us—he's got a huge household!"

"You can't just move the entire Mingjie here, can you?"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing laughed heartily: "Not at all—I'm not joking. I genuinely have a Qingwei Heaven!"

He gestured, and the Wu City Heavenly Palace of Mingjie opened wide; a divine token, shimmering with spiritual aura and overflowing with qi, flew out, inscribed with the characters "Qingwei."

Instantly, primordial blue light filled the void, forming a great universe, suspended alongside Daichi Heaven and Yuyu Heaven.

Thus, the Three Pure Ones had fully settled on Western Western Kunlun Mountain.

"Brother, won't you summon your disciples?" Yu Chén asked. The Chan Sect's disciples were all talents, whether inner or outer gate.

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing laughed: "This is the ancestral seat of the Heavenly Immortal lineage—how could demons, ghosts, or devils possibly come here?"

Tai Shang rolled his eyes. You, the Ghost Emperor, are here—yet you won't let those crazy disciples come?

Yu Chén Daojun said: "We've established our sacred ground, founding the ancestral seat of Heavenly Immortals. Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and the other inner gate disciples are pillars of the Heavenly Immortal lineage. Even if they don't reside here permanently, they must visit at least once."

"Then summon them?"

"Summon them!"

"Good!"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing went with the flow and sent orders to Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi and the others.

"By the way, the remaining inner gate disciples have transcended—let's summon them all together."

Jiuxian Mountain, Peach Source Grotto-Heaven.

Inside this grotto-heaven, formed from Hell, the landscape remained an endless grotto-universe.

Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi sat in stillness within the void.

When the Three Pure Ones' names illuminated the myriad heavens, he felt a sudden enlightenment, seized a spark of spiritual insight, and began composing the Heavenly Lord's Sacred Hymn of the Three Pure Ones.

"With sincere devotion, I take refuge. Dao Treasure, Jing Treasure, Shi Treasure—Qingjing, Shangqing, Taiqing. One Qi flows, the Three Lords manifest. Embracing radiance in silence, they move the four seasons without speech. Pure color is empty, boundless, giving birth to the Three Realms."

"On the Great Luo Heaven, within the Golden Palace, from emptiness and spontaneity, the Three Pure Ones, the Three Realms, the Three Treasures Celestial Venerables."

After revisions and adjustments, Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi finally settled on the Three Pure Ones' Precious Eulogy; after reciting it twice himself, he nodded slightly:

"Hmm, this version is good."

"Our Chan Sect is a great sect— the Three Pure Celestial Venerables must not only have honored titles but also corresponding Precious Eulogies; otherwise, how will our disciples and students praise our ancestors in the future?"

Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi put away the scripture in his hand and muttered to himself:

"I still need to compose exclusive Precious Eulogies for the three Celestial Venerables— I must record their merits, authority, origins, and other elements; this must be done properly."

At this moment, Dong Western Western Kunlun appeared upon the Attack Hong Huang land, and moments later, Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's voice arrived.

"Bring your inner-disciple brothers and sisters to Western Western Kunlun's Yu Xu Peak to meet your two uncles."

"Yes, Master!"

Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi's expression turned solemn; he immediately returned to the Mingjie.

"Master just mentioned a sister?"

Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi asked in confusion: "Could Chi Chi Chi Jing Zi and the others have succeeded— turning Huang Long into Huang Long Sister?"

Only when he returned to Taisha Heaven Palace did he discover this place was filled with ethereal immortal qi— all the inner-disciples had transcended simultaneously!

"True Person Wenshu bows to Elder Brother!"

True Person Wenshu wore heavenly robes and a heavenly crown, his head crowned with five topknots, eyes bright, bearing an extraordinary aura; in one hand he held a precious sword, symbolizing the wisdom-sword that cuts through afflictions.

"True Person Puxian bows to Elder Brother."

Puxian's face was kind and gentle, clad in a pale yellow robe over a white robe, humble and mild, wearing a five-colored precious crown; his left hand held a lotus with a sharp sword surrounded by flame, his right arm extended palm-up, ring and little fingers bent.

"True Person Sister Sister Cihang bows to Elder Brother!"

Sister Sister Cihang carried an elegant aura, dressed in white robes, holding a pure vase, serene and natural; faintly visible around her was the Dao's essence, manifesting a grove of purple bamboo, swaying gently, releasing waves of lotus fragrance.

"True Person Daohang, Qingxu Daode True Person, Lingbao Dafa Master bow to Elder Brother!"

The remaining three Daoists stepped forward together to pay their respects.

Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi beamed with joy, "Excellent, excellent! Congratulations, fellow Daoists!"

"You've transcended at just the right time— our Master has already established our Tianxian lineage's sacred ground, and now I've come to escort you!"

"Thank you, Elder Brother."

The six transcended disciples also beamed with delight.

"Elder Brother, we're here!"

After Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi and his seven companions departed from Taisha Heaven Palace, Seeing Yun Yun Yun Zhong Zi, Chi Chi Chi Jing Zi, Zhenren Zhenren Yuding, Taiyi, Ju Ju Ju Liu Sun, and Huang Long all arrived.

"Fellow Daoists, come with me to pay homage to our Master!"

The entire group of inner-disciples, orderly and united, followed Guang Guang Guang Cheng Zi toward Yu Xu Palace.
