Chapter 340 Candidate for the Three Pure Ones [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

[Supreme Pure Qi, the highest and most supreme pure qi, requires 1 SSS-level side quest, reward 200000 points]

[The Supreme Purity Returns to One Qi, plundering all pure Qi. Requires one SSS-level side quest. Reward: 200000 points]

[Jade Purity Assimilation Qi: Assimilates all pure qi. Requires one SSS-rank side quest. Reward: 200000 points.]

The introduction is incredibly brief, embodying the principle of simplicity.

In the eyes of the great lord Wu Ming, the titles of the Three Pure Ones, the Three Sovereigns, Pangu, and Hongjun—these mythological deities—represent power.

It's the same reason why Wu Ming thinks the Jade Disc of Creation, Pangu's Axe, and Xuanhuang Pagoda are awesome, because Wu Ming thinks the Three Pure Ones and the Three Sovereigns are awesome.

This led to the saying that those who are worthy of the name of the Three Pure Ones can directly point to the ultimate truth.

"These three kinds of pure energy are the spiritual light of the Three Pure Ones."

Fang Ge said softly, "After the exchange, the Light of the Mind will evolve further based on its current state, and its final manifestation will be the Qi of the Three Pure Ones."

Exchanging for the Qi of the Three Pure Ones will not directly transform you into one of the Three Pure Ones; the SSS-level side quests don't have that much magic.

I reckon he'll just become a "candidate for the Three Pure Ones".

Yes, a substitute.

To become one of the Three Pure Ones, one must first become a candidate for the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones are not ordained by Heaven, but like the imperial throne, they can be contested, and those with virtue will occupy them.

The three currently in office are not the only ones qualified to become the Three Pure Ones. Before the Three Pure Ones positions were finalized, there were clearly multiple candidates for the position.

Now, the Three Pure Ones of the Primordial Heavenly Court are occupying positions without fulfilling their duties and are unworthy of their positions!
If the Central Continent Team wants to seize power, they first need to impeach the Three Pure Ones to unlock their position, and then force them to step down by beating them.

Finally, let Jinxi, Zhao Yingkong, and Li Yingkong, the three candidates for the Three Pure Ones, take their place!

"Then what about our old spiritual light?" Zhao Yingkong asked softly.

Her [Tai Sui God] is a great help to the team. Would it be better if it became [Yu Qing Assimilation Qi]?
She wasn't the only one with doubts; Rii Sakura also had similar concerns. After fully integrating her own system, changing the Light of the Mind meant altering the entire system!

In the original story, the demon Haotian once converted the Light of the Mind into Holy Light Aura through exchange, and also complained that Holy Light Aura was not as useful as telekinesis.

However, they were undoubtedly overthinking it.

In Fang Ge's view, the current situation is completely different from the predicament of the original demon Haotian.

"Exchange for the Qi of the Three Pure Ones has little functional modification to the Light of the Mind; it is more like a level advancement of the Light of the Mind."

To dispel her doubts, Fang Ge explained, "While the function is extended, it also helps in comprehending authority, origin, and even the nature of metal."

The Qi of the Three Pure Ones—whether it be the Supreme Qi of Taiqing, the Assimilating Qi of Yuqing, or the Unifying Qi of Shangqing—all possess inconceivable power and can be considered the ceiling of spiritual light.

Under the influence of Wu Ming's subconscious, whether it was the Three Pure Ones of the previous era or the Three Pure Ones of this era, the light of their minds was the Qi of the Three Pure Ones.

However, while the lights of the soul may be similar at most, it is impossible for two lights of the soul to be exactly the same!

Although the spiritual light of the Three Pure Ones throughout history shares the same name, their individual functions still differ due to the individual differences among people.

It's not hard to see that this semi-transcendent being is only obsessed with the name, completely disregarding its actual function. Perhaps the aura of the Three Pure Ones is Wu Ming's qualification certificate for the Three Pure Ones…

Therefore, possessing the Qi of the Three Pure Ones definitely makes one a candidate for the Three Pure Ones!

Having learned that the original functions of their respective spiritual lights would not change significantly, they readily made the exchange.

Three streams of pure energy, each slightly different in color, descended from the main deity and entered their bodies.

"It seems...nothing happened?"

Riyo Sora carefully sensed it and found that, apart from the light of her soul transforming into pure energy, there was almost no difference in its use.

It can't be that... the SSS side quest just went down the drain like this, right?

"This is a genuine, evolving trap. Go back and practice on it!"

Fang Ge chuckled and scolded, then suggested, "Studying the ultimate techniques of the Three Pure Ones in this era will definitely help you master the Qi of the Three Pure Ones, so you should also exchange for the manuals of [Taiqing Daodao], [Yuqing Shadao], and [One Step a Day, This is the Path to Heaven]!"

[The Great Dao of Supreme Purity originated in the primordial era, created by Laozi, one of the Three Pure Ones. The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to heaven and earth; the Great Dao is without emotion, yet it governs the sun and moon; the Great Dao is nameless, yet it nurtures all things. This supreme method of suppression requires one SSS-level side quest and 200000 reward points. To exchange only for the manual, one S-level side quest is required, along with 20000 reward points.]

[The Jade Purity Killing Path originates from the primordial era, created by the Jade Purity Primordial Heavenly Venerable, one of the Three Pure Ones. "Primordial" signifies origin, and "beginning" signifies the beginning, referring to the primordial energy. It is a method of killing that aims to maintain the order of heaven and earth, eradicating enemies at their source. Requires one SSS-level side quest, rewarding 200000 points. To redeem only the manual, requires one S-level side quest, rewarding 20000 points.]

[One step, one day; this is the path to heaven, originating from the primordial era, created by Shangqing Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones. Heaven and earth have no ranks, only truth is the path; the Great Dao is formless, only strength can move it. As long as one can practice the Shangqing method step by step, there is no such thing as a limit. Requires 1 SSS-level side quest, reward 200000 points. Only for exchanging the manual, requires 1 S-level side quest, reward 20000 points.]

"The Great Dao of Taiqing is the master of suppression. It is supreme and suppresses everything, with no one able to escape or reverse it."

"The Jade Purity Killing Path is all about killing and conquest. It strikes directly at the source and the root, transcending the river of time to completely erase and dissolve existence from ancient history."

"One step at a time, this is the path to heaven, the path to accumulation. As long as one can practice the Shangqing method step by step, there is no limit. One can infinitely increase one's power, just like reaching the heavens and transcending the universe."

In fact, the infinitely diverse interpretations of the Three Pure Ones are not very similar to Fang Ge's conventional understanding of the Three Pure Ones.

He still prefers the following interpretation: Yuanshi Tianzun symbolizes the primordial chaotic energy of the universe, Lingbao Tianzun represents the natural laws that differentiate all things, and Daode Tianzun embodies the perceptible laws of order in the human world. This is a more conventional and straightforward description.

However, this does not prevent the fact that the teachings of the Three Pure Ones in this era are genuine imperial-level sage techniques, which have great reference value.

The Qi of the Three Pure Ones and the Dao of the Three Pure Ones are mutually reinforcing, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, progressing rapidly like riding a rocket. It is also beneficial for comprehending the three elements of authority, origin, and metal nature.

Practice hard and study hard!

Fang Ge encouraged them, "Once the Void God Realm is established, I will reward you handsomely based on your achievements!"

Since we can't be the Three Pure Ones in the real universe for the time being, let's start as the Three Pure Ones in the virtual universe!

Jin Xi covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes glanced at Zhan Lan beside her.

As expected, the penniless writer said sourly, "What a coincidence, it seems I wasn't included again this time..."

"Of course I've reserved a spot for you, but it has to be kept secret for now."

Fang Ge pouted helplessly and quickly changed the subject: "Now that we've dealt with the Three Pure Ones, the next step is to deal with the Four Symbols..."

"Lingdian, Li Shuaixi, Luo Gandao, and Haotian, you will each exchange for the initial bloodlines of the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon!"
