45: The secret of Kunlun Mountain: The Three Pure Ones seek to attain quasi-sainthood.

"What grand ambition!"

"Ruling over the Honghuang World and Fortune! Those barbarians without Primordial Spirits don't deserve it!"

After a long while, Yuanshi came back to his senses and spoke disparagingly with a hint of jealousy.

After all, this news was not good for the Three Pure Ones; on the contrary, the rise and strengthening of the Ancestral Witches deeply provoked them.

However, even if they knew, what of it?

Could they personally go down and compete against the Ancestral Witches? That would be nothing but asking for humiliation.

After all, now that the Twelve Ancestral Witches have learned Protective Aura and combined it with their own Laws, their strength has truly reached the ceiling of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.

They couldn't even deal with them in one-on-one combat, let alone when the Ancestral Witches outnumbered them four to one.

Thinking of this, Tongtian spoke up: "Now I only hope the Demon God Palace can contain the rise of the Witch Tribe; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

"It's basically impossible!"

Laozi shook his head and said with a grave expression, "The strength of Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others is indeed decent, and the expansion of the Demon God Palace is also extremely rapid!"

"But the Demon God Palace is a loose heap of sand, essentially cobbled together. If they could block the Witch Tribe and the Ancestral Witches in a direct confrontation, it would be one thing, but once they break, the entire Demon God Palace will instantly fall apart."

"Now the Witch Tribe and the Demon God Palace are already locked in combat. Coupled with the fact that most Cultivators in the Honghuang World don't care about the existence of the Witch Tribe and haven't realized the Ancestral Witches' intentions, naturally, no one will go to help."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian fell silent.

Laozi's words were very pertinent, and they also understood that things were exactly as he said.

Because of this, they felt even more urgent in their hearts, desperately wanting to increase their cultivation and transcend the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level to advance to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

After all, only by reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm could they once again be on the same starting line as the Ancestral Witches. Only then could they defend their title as the orthodox lineage of pangu. Otherwise... "It seems the Three Fellow Daoists already understand what I am referring to."

Taking in the scene, Li Yun smiled faintly and cupped his hands in a salute to the Three Pure Ones. "Since the matter is clear, I wonder if we can proceed to West Kunlun?"

He didn't plan to continue entangling with the Three Pure Ones here. After all, their cultivation levels were not equal, and many things could not be discussed on truly equal terms.

Most importantly, he had many treasures in his possession.

If the Three Pure Ones found out, Li Yun wasn't sure if he would be safe.

Killing for treasures is an extremely common occurrence in the Honghuang World, and the Three Pure Ones were by no means soft-hearted people.

The only ones he could truly relax and associate with were the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Tribe. After all, they had no Primordial Spirits, so even if they knew he possessed an innate supreme treasure, they wouldn't have any ulterior motives.

Moreover, the Martial Dao he created helped the Witch Tribe. For the Ancestral Witches, his survival was more important than his death.

"No problem~"

Coming back to their senses, the Three Pure Ones looked at each other. Then, Laozi spoke: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li Yun, for providing this information!"

"We keep our word. This time we owe you a favor. If there is anything you need in the future, we Three Brothers will not refuse!"

"As for West Kunlun, there's no need to rush. It wasn't easy for you to get here, so the three of us naturally must host you."

"At that time, we will find a place for you to stay in the area where the edge of our residence meets West Kunlun, and we will give you a Restriction token."

"If you encounter any danger then, you can directly enter the residence of us Three Brothers. However, on ordinary days, you will need to live in the area prepared for you."

Speaking of this, Laozi seemed to think of something and looked at Li Yun. "Do not think that we Three Brothers are being stingy. It is just that in this Kunlun Mountain, aside from West Kunlun, there are many hidden dangers!"

"It may seem like we Three Brothers possess Kunlun Mountain, but in reality, there are only a few areas on the mountain that we can truly control. In other areas, innate spiritual roots reside."

"Those innate spiritual roots have grown in Kunlun Mountain since the beginning of the creation of the world. Because of Pangu's Restrictions, no one could invade them during the Taichu Era or the Ancient Era."

"This has led to their cultivation and strength being extremely extraordinary. Even when the three of us join forces, we often cannot defeat or suppress them, let alone kill them."

So that's how it is!

Listening to Laozi's explanation, Li Yun felt a sense of realization.

No wonder no one coveted Kunlun Mountain despite the Three Pure Ones possessing it. It wasn't just because of their strength, but more importantly, because of those innate spiritual roots that had existed since the beginning of creation.

According to Laozi, the yellow middle plum, Five-Needle Pine, and immortal apricot he was looking for were probably in similar situations, having cultivated peacefully since the beginning of creation. An ordinary Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection would likely be no match for them.

This also meant that only after the Three Pure Ones became Quasi-Saints, or even completely Attained the Dao and became Saints, could these hidden dangers in Kunlun Mountain be resolved.

Thinking of this, Li Yun immediately cupped his hands. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Laozi!"

"I am a newcomer and know nothing about the situation in Kunlun Mountain. I will follow the arrangements as you've suggested."

"Good!"

Laughing loudly, Tongtian stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, this way we can be considered neighbors. When we're not busy in the future, we can drink and discuss the Dao together."

"But not at this stage. We need to enter seclusion and Cultivate as soon as possible to break through to the so-called Quasi-Saint Realm. This is extremely important to us."

These words immediately gained the approval of Laozi and Yuanshi.

Since they knew the Ancestral Witches intended to use expanding their territory and seizing Luck to enhance their cultivation and advance to Quasi-Saint through Fortune, they naturally couldn't fall behind.

Especially Laozi.

He originally planned to wait a bit longer to have more certainty before raising his cultivation Realm, but now it seemed this matter could no longer be delayed.

"Good!"

With a slight smile, Li Yun cupped his hands. "Then I wish the Three Fellow Daoists success in achieving your goals and advancing to Quasi-Saint."

At the same time, he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.

Quasi-Saint!

Don't be fooled by it being just one Realm higher.

In reality, once one steps into the Quasi-Saint Realm, it represents the choice and decision of one's own Dao, which can never be changed in the future.

After all, once one changes their Dao, their Dao Heart will be damaged, and the loss to their future would be even more immense.

Thus, as long as the Three Pure Ones completed their own Dao before Hongjun Attained the Dao and became a Saint and began lecturing in Zixiao Palace on Slaying Three Corpses, it would be impossible for them to Cultivate that Slaying Three Corpses method.

As a person from a later generation, he knew that Slaying Three Corpses did more harm than good. In fact, the future Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa all failed to complete it and could only become the weakest Karma Saints by using Karma to Attain the Dao.

If the Three Pure Ones did not learn Slaying Three Corpses, their status as master and disciples would be improper. Even if they Attained the Dao and became Saints, they would likely not be respectful to Hongjun, and even..."
