Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 16: Preaching for Ten Thousand Years, Chen Xuan Enters the East China Sea
Compared to the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches sounded a bit more difficult. After all, the Ancestral Witches only cultivated the physical body, not the soul. Naturally, their comprehension of the Tao Te Ching that Chen Xuan was talking about was very limited.

However, Hou Tu among the Twelve Ancestral Witches is an outlier. Although his primordial spirit is not complete, he is indeed the only one among the Twelve Ancestral Witches who possesses a primordial spirit.

So even though she could only understand a limited amount of the Tao Te Ching that Chen Xuan was talking about, she was still better than the other Ancestral Witches. Gradually, she also fell into a state of enlightenment.

Even unlike other ancestor witches, Hou Tu also had three flowers blooming on her head, but the three flowers only bloomed to the sixth grade.

Naturally, all of this was seen by Chen Xuan, which inevitably gave him a bold idea, that is, whether he could complete Hou Tu's spirit.

In the original ancient trajectory, Hou Tu was reincarnated into the six realms before, with the blessing of merit, she completed her primordial spirit and became the Queen of Peace.

As for the other ancient witches, they were unable to give birth to their primordial spirits until their death. This also became the key to the ultimate defeat of the witch clan.

Otherwise, with the strength of the twelve ancestral witches, each of whom was at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm, how could they be defeated by the two demon emperors? In the end, they had no choice but to choose to self-destruct their physical bodies in exchange for mutual destruction.

However, Chen Xuan had no idea how to make the Ancestral Witch give birth to a primordial spirit. After all, even in the prehistoric novels of later generations, few authors would allow the Twelve Ancestral Witches to give birth to a primordial spirit.

So what Chen Xuan can do now is to search within his own body for the great laws that can give birth to the primordial spirits of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Chen Xuan first spoke about the Tao Te Ching, and then began to preach the laws. The laws he spoke about also corresponded to the laws of the people present. After all, this would help them understand their own laws.

This also allowed everyone to gain a certain understanding of the laws of others. Tongtian Sect Master, in particular, had already developed a strong interest in the laws mastered by the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Time flies, and ten thousand years passed by unknowingly. Chen Xuan finally stopped preaching the great truth.

Then he said, "I have already analyzed in detail the laws that each of you has mastered."

"But this is merely external assistance. Whether you can comprehend your own laws to perfection ultimately depends on your understanding."

"At the same time, you can't put everything on comprehending the laws. After all, opportunities don't come from comprehending; they need to be sought."

"Di Jiang, if you brothers want to improve, the most direct way is to give birth to your own primordial spirit."

"Because only by cultivating both your primordial spirit and your physical body together can you reach the peak realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal, and one day, you may even break through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal."

"Otherwise, whether you cultivate your physical body or your soul alone, you will stop at the late stage of Primordial Golden Immortal. It will be impossible to advance even half a step further."

This was not something Chen Xuan said casually, but the answer he finally got after thousands of years of thinking.

This is even the reason why, in the original ancient trajectory, the twelve ancestor witch brothers could only fight a draw with the two demon emperors.

After all, at that time, Di Jun and Tai Yi had already reached the level of half-step saint. Although they had not yet achieved sainthood, they were not comparable to the peak quasi-saint realm.

In fact, Chen Xuan's words were not only said to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but also a warning to the Three Pure Ones that they should not only cultivate their primordial spirits but also ignore the cultivation of their physical bodies.

Chen Xuan has explained everything that needs to be explained. It is up to them to decide how to go their own way next. After all, Chen Xuan cannot practice for them.

Afterward, Chen Xuan sent the Twelve Ancestral Witches back to the Ancestral Witch Hall. He then left Kunlun Mountain with the Three Pure Ones and headed for the East China Sea. Why didn't Chen Xuan bring Hou Tu along? It wasn't because he treated them differently. Rather, the Twelve Ancestral Witches needed to unite in order to further their path.

Along the way, Chen Xuan still did not forget to pluck the feathers of the passing geese. Anyway, as long as Chen Xuan had his eye on something, nothing would stay where it was.

After walking for hundreds of years, Chen Xuan and the Three Pure Ones finally arrived at the shore of the East China Sea. Looking at the vast and boundless East China Sea, Chen Xuan couldn't help but shook his head.

After all, in this vast East China Sea, it is not an easy task to find the Three Immortal Islands hidden overseas.

Therefore, Chen Xuan asked the Three Purities to act separately to intensify the search of the East China Sea and try to find the overseas Three Immortal Islands as soon as possible.

At the same time, Chen Xuan was not idle either, and also began searching the East China Sea. This search lasted for ten thousand years.

Although he saw many islands that could be called blessed places and paradises, Chen Xuan was ultimately unable to find the Three Immortal Islands overseas.

After thoroughly searching the entire East China Sea, the four masters and apprentices met again. Seeing the helpless expressions of the Three Pure Ones, Chen Xuan knew that they had also found nothing.

Although this was not unexpected, Chen Xuan was still somewhat disappointed. He immediately asked the Three Pure Ones to return to Kunlun Mountain and began searching the East China Sea again.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had searched the East China Sea for another 30,000 years. He had searched the entire East China Sea from beginning to end, but in the end he still failed to find the Three Immortal Islands.

In desperation, Chen Xuan decided to go meet the Dragon Clan. After all, the East China Sea was the Dragon Clan's territory. Perhaps he could get some information from them.

After making up his mind, Chen Xuan pointed directly at the sea surface, and immediately a waterway appeared directly in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan went directly to the East China Sea Crystal Palace by water, which made the dragons in the East China Sea tremble with fear.

Because Chen Xuan had been searching the East China Sea for tens of thousands of years, he had already alarmed the Dragon Clan. At the same time, the Dragon Clan also knew how terrifying Chen Xuan's cultivation was.

I have been praying silently in my heart, hoping that Chen Xuan can leave as soon as possible, but this guy not only did not leave, but came to the Crystal Palace instead. How can this not make the dragon clan worry.

Even so, Ao Ping, the chief of the dragon clan, had to bring his dragon sons and grandsons out of the Crystal Palace to welcome them in person.

After meeting, they exchanged some polite words, and then Ao Ping let Chen Xuan into the Crystal Palace and had a sumptuous banquet prepared to entertain Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was not polite about this and played the role of guest following the host's wishes to the fullest.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ao Ping finally asked Chen Xuan, "Senior, you have been searching the East China Sea for tens of thousands of years. What are you looking for?"

Ao Ping was feeling uneasy when he asked this question. However, he would never be able to settle down until he understood Chen Xuan's ultimate goal.

Chen Xuan didn't beat around the bush and asked Ao Ping, "When Pangu created the universe, three pieces of chaos fragments fell into the East China Sea and transformed into three islands. Have you, the dragon clan, ever seen them?"
