27: The Birth of Yuqing and Shangqing

"Congratulations on your birth, Big Brother."

When Dijiang was born, thoughts were transmitted from the other eleven drops of Pangu's essence blood, sending their congratulations.

The thoughts within the other eleven drops of Pangu's essence blood were all incredibly envious of their big brother's transformation and birth.

Looking at Dijiang now, he had already shed his Ancestral Witch Dijiang body and appeared within the Pangu Hall in a dao body.

A powerful Space Law emanated from his body; observing his Space Law Realm, it was impressively at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.

Not only that, Dijiang's Physical Body Realm was also at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.

If Taiqing were inside the Pangu Hall, he would have discovered that the newly born Dijiang actually possessed a faint Primordial Spirit.

Dijiang's Primordial Spirit was so faint that if one didn't sense it carefully, it would be impossible to detect.

Furthermore, as time passed, Dijiang's already imperceptibly faint Primordial Spirit was still being eroded by the terrifying Evil Qi within his Physical Body.

This erosion process did not start after Dijiang's birth.

Rather, it had already begun after Dijiang was nurtured and developed sentience.

Perhaps out of instinct, Dijiang's eroded Primordial Spirit was continuously merging into his Physical Body Bloodline.

Looking at the progress, it likely wouldn't take much longer.

Dijiang's faint Primordial Spirit would be completely eroded away and fully merged into his Physical Body Bloodline.

Dijiang seemed completely unaware of this.

Or rather, since the moment his consciousness was born, that Evil Qi had been eroding his Primordial Spirit; Dijiang had already become completely accustomed to it.

He simply assumed that the erosion of the Primordial Spirit by Evil Qi was a natural occurrence for the birth of an Ancestral Witch.

Perhaps when Dijiang's consciousness first emerged, he had thought of finding a way to solve the problem of his Primordial Spirit being eroded by innate malignant qi.

But after his efforts proved fruitless, he gave up on resolving the matter.

He allowed his Primordial Spirit to be eroded by the innate malignant qi and merge into his own Physical Body Bloodline.

"My younger brothers and sisters, Cultivate well and absorb the Evil Qi to stabilize yourselves."

"When the time comes, we twelve brothers and sisters shall travel together through the Great Wilderness opened by the Father God; wouldn't that be wonderful?"

After encouraging his younger siblings, Dijiang sat in meditation within the Pangu Hall, Cultivating while waiting for the other Eleven Ancestral Witches to be born.

The other Eleven Ancestral Witches were also secretly competing, putting in all their effort, vowing to fight for the position of the second Ancestral Witch.

At Kunlun Mountain, the place where the Three Pure Ones were nurtured, after Dijiang was born, the Pure Qi of Yuqing Yuanshi's Origin continuously vibrated and twisted.

"Big Brother, I'm finally about to transform and be born! Big Brother, Third Brother, look closely, this is my transformation."

"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, today, I, Yuqing Yuanshi, am born."

The Pure Qi of Yuqing Yuanshi's Origin kept twisting, finally transforming into a dao body that appeared within the Innate Great Formation.

Yuqing imitated the declaration Taiqing had made during his transformation, announcing himself to the Great Dao and Pangu.

A Taoist appeared, his face like the ancient moon reflecting in a cold pond, the white hair between his brows swirling like a Taiji, and wind and thunder surging from his brow as he opened and closed his eyes.

On Yuqing Yuanshi's person, he displayed a magnificent, dignified, and majestic image.

"Yuanshi greets Big Brother."

Yuqing Yuanshi performed a hand-salute, paying respects to Taiqing.

"Greetings, Second Brother. Congratulations on your birth."

Taiqing returned the salute; seeing his second brother born, he was in quite a good mood.

"Third Brother, out of our three brothers, only you are left. You must work hard."

Yuqing Yuanshi said while looking at the Pure Qi of Shangqing Lingbao's Origin.

"Don't worry, Big Brother and Second Brother. It won't take much longer before I, your Third Brother, can also transform and be born. Just you wait and see."

Shangqing Lingbao exerted all his effort to absorb the surrounding Pure Qi, hoping to be born sooner.

The reality was much as Shangqing Lingbao had said; it was already the time for them to be nurtured and born.

Furthermore, portions of the Origins of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing had previously been exchanged.

Coupled with the Three Pure Ones actively absorbing the Pure Qi of their Origins to strengthen their own Origins.

And also absorbing a bit of pangu marrow essence.

Not many years after Yuqing Yuanshi was born, there was movement in the Pure Qi of Shangqing Lingbao's Origin.

It was the same as when Taiqing and Yuqing transformed.

Shangqing Lingbao's Origin continuously twisted and vibrated.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, look closely, this is my transformation."

Shangqing Lingbao followed suit, announcing his birth to the Void Realm.

"Great Dao above, Father God Pangu above, today I, Shangqing Lingbao, am born."

"From now on, we Three Pure Ones are one, advancing and retreating together, establishing ourselves in the Great Wilderness."

Regardless of whether it was useful or if the Great Dao would pay them any heed, the Three Pure Ones reported to the Great Dao first.

A Taoist in green robes appeared within the Innate Great Formation.

Shangqing's face was like that of a youth, as bright as the frost moon; his eyebrows were like early spring willow leaves, containing the gentle breeze of the thirty-six heavens.

His eyes were like cold ponds reflecting stars; the left pupil hid the 'Sun Essence' and the right pupil concealed the 'Moon Radiance,' releasing immeasurable light as they opened and closed, illuminating the turbulent sea of hearts of all living beings.

"Greetings, Big Brother. Greetings, Second Brother."

Shangqing Lingbao performed hand-salutes to both Taiqing and Yuqing Yuanshi.

Taiqing and Yuqing Yuanshi also returned the salute.

At this point, the Three Pure Ones were gathered together, entering the Great Wilderness together.

"Good, good, good. Now all of us Three Pure Ones are born and gathered in the Great Wilderness."

"In the future, we Three Pure Ones must be united, advancing and retreating together; we must never let other matters damage our brotherly bond."

Taiqing spoke happily.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, rest assured. We Three Pure Ones are one; no matter what happens, nothing can destroy our bond."

"Don't worry, Big Brother and Second Brother. Our bond as Three Pure Ones is the strongest in the Great Wilderness; even the Heavenly Dao cannot hope to tear us apart."

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao spoke one after another to express their thoughts.

"Correct. Our bond as Three Pure Ones is indestructible; even the Heavenly Dao cannot hope to tear us apart."

"However, besides us Three Pure Ones, we also have our Twelve Ancestral Witches brothers and sisters."

"The Twelve Ancestral Witches brothers and sisters also need to be united."

"Only then can we gain a firm foothold in this Great Wilderness."

"Together, we shall protect the foundation of the Great Wilderness left by Father God Pangu."

Taiqing did not forget the Twelve Ancestral Witches, constantly reinforcing their importance in the hearts of Yuqing and Shangqing.

"Rest assured, Big Brother. We Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches are transformed from Father God's Primordial Spirit and essence blood; we are brothers and sisters by nature."

"We should be united to jointly protect the foundation of the Great Wilderness left by Father God."

"That's right, Big Brother. I, Shangqing, will unite with our Twelve Ancestral Witches brothers and sisters."

"We Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches should be as one."

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao expressed their stances.

"This elder brother is very pleased that my Second Brother and Third Brother have such thoughts."

"Indeed. As Descendants of Pangu, facing the schemes of Heavenly Dao Hongjun, we must be united."

"If we are no longer united and engage in internal strife, that will only make Heavenly Dao Hongjun rejoice."

"At that time, it would truly be a case of hurting those close to us and gladdening our enemies."

Seeing that Yuqing and Shangqing felt no hostility toward the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Taiqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; it seemed that the instructions from the will of the father god he mentioned earlier were indeed effective.

When Yuqing and Shangqing were born, their cultivation was at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.

Whether it was Dharmic power, Law, Primordial Spirit, or Physical Body, both were at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.

With such a powerful foundation, in a situation where treasures are not compared, almost no existence in the Great Wilderness at the same level would be a match for the two of them.

Of course, if treasures were used, then no existence at the same level would be their match.

Because both of them held a heaven-opening supreme treasure as a Accompanying Spirit Treasure.
