1: Taiqing's birth

The newly born Honghuang World!

A terrifying giant held the heavens with his head and stepped on the earth with his feet, transforming into a giant that propped up the sky.

This sky-propping giant was none other than the Great God Pangu, who opened the heavens and split the earth.

At this moment, Great God Pangu was nearing the end of his strength.

Opening the heavens had exhausted his power, and supporting the heavens and earth for countless Yuanhui had further depleted his foundations.

Just as Great God Pangu was about to collapse and transform into all things in the Honghuang World.

A peculiar fluctuation of space and time appeared not far from Great God Pangu's glabella.

A peculiar Soul appeared before Great God Pangu's glabella.

"Father God Pangu!"

That peculiar Soul sent out a thought filled with shock.

Afterward, that peculiar Soul fell into silence.

Pangus Pressure, combined with the beginning of the opening of the heavens, was not something this Soul could withstand.

With a single glance, Great God Pangu understood everything about that Soul clearly.

"Little fellow, I hope you can accomplish the task I have yet to complete."

He took that peculiar Soul into his Primordial Spirit, followed by a thunderous boom.

Great God Pangu eventually collapsed after all; he could not escape the fate of transforming into all things in the Honghuang World.

Great God Pangu's Primordial Spirit split into three, and the first one to separate underwent Fusion with that peculiar Soul.

The three Primordial Spirits combined with the Pure Qi of heaven-opening and headed towards Kunlun Mountain, which was formed from Great God Pangu's head.

Great God Pangu's twelve drops of essence blood flew towards the Pangu Hall at the foot of Mount Buzhou, which was formed from Great God Pangu's spine.

Since Great God Pangu opened the heavens and split the earth, transforming into all things in the Honghuang World, an unknown number of Yuanhui had passed.

Now, the Fierce Beast Calamity had passed, and the era had entered the struggle for hegemony in the Honghuang World among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans.

The three clans fought incessantly for dominance over the Honghuang World, compounded by others plotting against them.

The current Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans were like a powder keg; just a single spark would trigger a terrifying war.

This would then evolve into a terrifying calamity.

On Kunlun Mountain, a consciousness slowly woke up.

"I... where am I?"

"Wasn't I on the road? Right, I only remember a voice at that time—go talk to my insurance!

And then I lost consciousness."

A sharp headache struck, and immediately, an Innate Legacy mark surged rapidly from Taiqing's mind like a bursting flood.

After Taiqing finished receiving the Innate Legacy memories, he finally understood the situation.

He had actually undergone Transmigration!

Moreover, the world he transmigrated to was that extremely terrifying world—the Honghuang World!

Transmigrating to the Honghuang World was one thing, but the most ridiculous part was that he had actually become Taiqing.

The Taiqing who, in the future, would see the Three Pure Ones brothers turn against each other, be forced by Hongjun to swallow the Sage-Falling Pill, and be imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace.

The original Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches could be said to have played a winning hand terribly.

Of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, some died and others fled; although the Three Pure Ones became Sages, how were they any different from prisoners in the end?

The Honghuang World should have been the family business of the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches, yet it ended up like this.

And the Origin of his identity as Taiqing was actually arranged for him by Father God Pangu.

After Great God Pangu saw the memories within the Soul that Taiqing had transmigrated with.

He gave Taiqing the task of protecting his younger brothers and sisters, maintaining the Honghuang World, and leading them to inherit the family business.

If Taiqing could not do it, things would naturally proceed as they originally had.

The brothers would turn against each other, be forced by Heavenly Dao Hongjun to swallow the Sage-Falling Pill, and be imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace.

He might even be exposed to the Heavenly Dao, which could discover his memories from the future.

And thus be completely eliminated by the Heavenly Dao!

After all, for the Heavenly Dao to check the memories of a low Realm living being was simply too easy.

However, Taiqing might have forgotten that he was protected by the Heaven-Opening Merit.

"Wait, Father God Pangu, do you have to screw over your kid like this?

By the time we Three Pure Ones are born, that old fellow Hongjun will be on the verge of proving his Dao and becoming a Sage.

There's even a Heavenly Dao suppressing the Honghuang World above us; how am I supposed to play this?"

Complaining aside, things were already this way, and Taiqing couldn't change them.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun would still plot against the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches in the future.

It was also an indisputable fact that he had become Taiqing.

Following the principle of 'since I'm already here,' Taiqing quickly accepted his identity, calmed his mind, and began to actively absorb the Innate Pure Qi to strengthen his Origin.

"In the Honghuang World, strength ultimately does the talking. As long as my cultivation is powerful, even Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao are nothing more than minor irritants.

When I become powerful, Hongjun, Heavenly Dao, I, Taiqing, will make you pay for everything.

I, Taiqing, will make this Honghuang World move in a better direction."

Having understood his path forward, Taiqing immediately began to Cultivate and absorb the Pure Qi.

One must eat one bite at a time, and cultivation must also be improved slowly, step by step.

Taiqing's top priority was to take form and be born as soon as possible.

As Taiqing actively absorbed the Pure Qi to strengthen his Origin, his Origin grew rapidly.

Time in the Honghuang World was cheap; hundreds of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

Exactly on this day, within Kunlun Mountain, innate spiritual qi gathered, forming a Qi vortex.

This Qi vortex swept wildly, pouring innate spiritual qi into an Innate Great Formation.

Inside the Innate Great Formation, the Taiqing Qi, vast as an ocean, gathered and gradually formed the figure of a Daoist.

The Daoist wore a cyan Daoist robe, with the golden, glittering heaven and earth yellow and black exquisite pagoda atop his head, a Taiji Diagram in his left hand, and a Taiyi Whisk in his right.

At the Daoist's glabella, there was a cyan axe mark; this was the Heaven-Opening Taiqing Mark.

"I am Taiqing, born today. I bow in thanks to Father God Pangu and the Great Dao for the grace of creation."

Yin and Yang fish flashed in Taiqing's eyes as he looked into the Void Realm and bowed three times toward Mount Buzhou.

No matter what, Father God Pangu's opening and creation of the Honghuang World was a boundless grace of creation to him.

As for the Great Dao, whether it pays attention to you or not, it's never wrong to offer a greeting first.

Perhaps if the Great Dao saw that Taiqing was polite and a good grandson, it might intervene when Heavenly Dao Hongjun bullied them.

It's always better to be polite.

After all, strictly speaking, Taiqing really was of the Great Dao's grandson's generation.

"Boom!"

A sound of thunder rang out over Kunlun Mountain, echoing through the nine heavens.

The Heavenly Dao, which had already been born at the end of the Fierce Beast Calamity, or perhaps the Honghuang World itself, seemed to be acknowledging Taiqing's identity.

"What's going on? Wasn't the Taiji Diagram supposed to be passed to me from Hongjun's hands only during his third lecture?"

As the sound of thunder receded, Taiqing finally examined his own attire.

Looking at the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram in his hand, shining with the light of a supreme treasure and with the Yin and Yang fish constantly rotating.

Taiqing was startled, and then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

He hadn't expected that his Natal Supreme Treasures would include not only the heaven and earth yellow and black exquisite pagoda but even the heaven-opening supreme treasure Taiji Diagram.

"Could it be that Father God Pangu knew I was too weak and would definitely be unable to contend with the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun upon birth, so he bestowed the Taiji Diagram upon me?"

Taiqing speculated in his heart.

"Forget it, regardless of that, I should first check on my two younger brothers; they should be about to take form as well, right?"

Shaking his head, since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it; having a supreme treasure was better than not having one.

Then, Taiqing turned his gaze toward the two oceans of Pure Qi nearby.

These two oceans of Pure Qi were precisely the Origin Pure Qi of Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao.

At this time, the two oceans of cyan Qi were unconsciously and autonomously breathing the surrounding Pure Qi.

But if one looked closely, it could be seen that both Pure Qi were missing a corner.

"Wait, why is a corner missing from both of my younger brothers' Origin Pure Qi?"

Taiqing immediately noticed the missing corner and was startled.

He hoped this wouldn't affect his two younger brothers' future birth.

Taiqing hurriedly checked, and then stood there with an embarrassed expression.

Because the missing corners of the Shangqing and Yuqing Origins were actually caused by him, Taiqing.

It turned out that before Taiqing was born, he had actively absorbed Pure Qi and, without realizing it, had absorbed a corner of his two younger brothers' Origins.

Now, within his Taiqing Origin, the Fusion of the Taiqing, Shangqing, and Yuqing Origins had actually formed a unique Divine Ability—

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!

It could transform into three Incarnations with the same strength as the original body—Taiqing Daoist, Yuqing Daoist, and Shangqing Daoist.

Those Shangqing and Yuqing Origins had completely fused with him and could not be returned.

"Since I can absorb my two younger brothers' Origins and fuse such a Divine Ability.

I wonder if my two younger brothers can do the same?"
