In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

And a great merit may be a result of enlightenment.

This is Zhang Xiaoshan's conjecture. That's why he has never ascended or confronted the Heavenly Dao, in order to accumulate immeasurable merit, or even more.

Only with good deeds to his name could Zhang Xiaoshan have confidence.

The amount of merit Zhang Xiaoshan accumulated reflected the depth of his confidence; therefore, he would not release his cultivation level and 'ascend to immortality' until the time was right.

"Cultivate ten billion merits and comprehend the One Qi Transformation into the Three Pure Ones!"

Another ancient divine power was used to kill the water demon beast and promote the Kunlun Daoist sect. Bai Xuan rewarded Zhang Xiaoshan with another ancient immortal technique.

Of the ten immortal arts, Zhang Xiaoshan has already mastered five.

The cultivation of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones focuses on the primordial spirit. Compared to the major offensive divine abilities, Zhang Xiaoshan directly sacrificed ten billion merits.

Boom!

The deep, resonant tolling of the bell caused Princess Liyang, who was in a state of Yin Yin within her Purple Mansion, to experience a tremor in her primordial spirit.

First, as the bell tolled, the primordial spirit condensed into three parts after the vibration; then, surging, powerful, and overwhelming innate spiritual energy rushed in.

At the same time, streams of nine-colored mist emerged from the Nine Provinces Cauldron, filling the entire Purple Mansion.

Having witnessed this scene many times before, he then began to comprehend the Heavenly Dao inscriptions on the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

It's not just about the supernatural marks on it, but also about comprehending the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns - Pure Yin Chapter.

This is a golden opportunity for enlightenment.

Only in the state of joint cultivation, when her primordial spirit entered Zhang Xiaoshan's Purple Mansion, could she have such an opportunity.

As the divine imprint of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was analyzed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Pattern, a vast and boundless innate spiritual energy surged into the primordial spirit. However, within the Taiji Diagram primordial spirit, a pure Yang source entered the primordial spirit's auspicious cloud.

However, the primordial spirit Qingyun and the One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones complement each other.

After all, Yuan Shen Qingyun is a derivative of Yuan Shen, while Yi Qi Hua San Qing is the 'split' of Yuan Shen, condensing into an external avatar.

In essence, it is still a manifestation of the primordial spirit.

One is more defensive, and the other is a condensed avatar.

At this moment, a wisp of origin split off, and the vast and boundless innate spiritual energy surged towards the primordial spirit auspicious cloud like a tornado, and even the nine-colored mist followed suit.

As spiritual energy and mist gathered, three blurry figures stood vaguely in the auspicious clouds of the primordial spirit.

This is an incarnation formed from a single point of primordial spirit essence.

At the same time, deep within Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit, three divine power imprints disappeared into three illusory figures.

As time passed, it transformed from illusion to reality, and its powerful and profound aura caused even Li Yang to feel a sense of unease.

A young man, carrying a sword, was aloof and arrogant, exuding a murderous aura.

A young man, his back to the blazing sun, stands amidst divine purgatory;

In middle age, one evolves through the interplay of Yin and Yang, returning to simplicity and authenticity.

Although it was a clone, Li Yang sensed that she was no match for the previous one even after three moves.

This is the profound mystery of the One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.

Although these three clones cannot stray too far from the main body, their strength is comparable to that of the main body.

Moreover, the three main bodies embody Zhang Xiaoshan's three great supernatural powers—the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique, the Supreme Pure Yang, and the Yin-Yang Unity Great Supernatural Power.

It can be said that even in ancient times, Zhang Xiaoshan would definitely be considered a top-tier powerhouse.

Simultaneously, the phrase "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" represents Zhang Xiaoshan's three states of mind—

Youth is full of vigor, young adulthood is masculine, and middle age is mature.

Therefore, all three of these external avatars are Zhang Xiaoshan, and he can replace the original body at any time.

In addition, having absorbed the boundless innate spiritual energy and the nine-colored mist, the auspicious cloud of the primordial spirit expanded to thirty feet, its protective power greatly increased amidst the colorful jewels and the dancing dragons and phoenixes.

Based on the primordial spirit Qingyun, the three incarnations are like one, complementing each other.

After a long time, as the innate spiritual energy dissipated and the seclusion ended, Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit Taiji diagram expanded by more than three-tenths of an inch.

It should be noted that when Zhang Xiaoshan reached his realm, his primordial spirit was three times stronger, and his strength increased by at least 100%.

Moreover, with the addition of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, his strength has increased dramatically.

At the same time, in an instant, Zhang Xiaoshan placed the three magical treasures—the Dragon-Slaying Sword, the Southern Bright Fire Seal, and the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror—onto his three incarnations and nurtured them.

Zhang Xiaoshan used the Xuanhuang Cauldron as his natal magic weapon and nurtured it in his primordial spirit's purple palace.

Because of their different artistic conceptions, the three incarnations can also nurture the three top-level magical artifacts. Except for the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror, which is of a lower level, both the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Nanming Fire Seal are extremely suitable for incarnations to be nurtured as their natal magical artifacts.

At the same time, Princess Liyang opened her beautiful eyes.

With the help of the innate spiritual energy absorbed through joint cultivation and the enlightenment of the Heavenly Book, Princess Liyang finally stepped into the realm of Dao Integration.

The Dao Integration Realm is equivalent to the Upper Immortal Realm. It is the Three Mysteries Tribulation Crossing. Even after hundreds of years in the Immortal Realm, one is still lingering in the Loose Immortal Realm and has not yet entered this realm.

Moreover, the profound foundation of the Dao Integration Realm means that once one transcends tribulation, they are equivalent to an ancient immortal.

Chapter 997 Fuxi's Eight Trigrams

"One Qi transforms three pure things!"

Zhang Xiaoshan summoned the auspicious Yuan Shen Qingyun, and three figures stood proudly within the golden auspicious clouds.

The young swordsman exuded a sharp and fierce aura;

The young emperor looked down upon all living beings;

A middle-aged immortal, detached from worldly affairs, achieving great things!

Three figures materialized, indistinguishable from the original body, and their auras were far stronger than Princess Liyang's.

"The One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones, truly wondrous!"

In addition to the threefold amplification of magical power and primordial spirit, the three external avatars can also comprehend different Daos simultaneously.

For example, a sword immortal comprehends the way of the sword, an emperor cultivates the pure yang way, and a banished immortal meditates on yin and yang.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan could place it in a place with abundant spiritual energy like Kunlun, while his true body traveled in the mortal world, so as not to delay his cultivation.

The four are originally one, so the cultivation of the three avatars will naturally be reflected in the main body, so the main body does not need to cultivate deliberately.

This is also where the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique is used to unleash extraordinary abilities.

It lacks the strongest attack of the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique and the domineering power of the Yin-Yang Unity Divine Power, but it is absolutely number one in terms of cheating.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan acted on his whim, placing the three masters in the three blessed lands of Kunlun.

In middle age, atop Kunlun Mountain, a place where pure energy flourishes;

The youth resided at the main branch of Kunlun, in the Jade Void Hall;

The boy found himself in the Kunlun Abyss, a hellish place for demons.

903 Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't need to go in person. The three incarnations are both clones and independent individuals. Therefore, each incarnation is equivalent to the original body, so there is no question of whether he goes in person or not.

As for not being able to stray too far from the main body?

This 'distance' is not in space, but in time!

After all, what was the distance that the ancient powerful beings spoke of? As far as the eye could see, there was the summit of the heavens and the abyss of the netherworld.

In their eyes, distance is transcending the river of time and escaping the cycle of calamities.

"Li Yang, you may now choose to learn an ancient immortal technique."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Princess Liyang, who was comprehending her own realm. She had entered the Dao Integration Realm, and at this time, Princess Liyang's strength was second only to Zhang Xiaoshan.

The Pure Yin Manual is the most advanced lineage, based on the Supreme Golden Chapter. Its four chapters, when mastered, are similar to the ancient Great Dao.

At the same level, their strength far surpasses that of others of the same rank.

Moreover, Princess Liyang had already completed four chapters and entered the Dao Integration Realm.

This is the profound and mysterious state of 'entering the Tao'.

It could be said that, in the mortal realm, Princess Liyang was a god at this moment.

"Senior brother makes it sound easy. Ancient immortal techniques are not easy to master without the support of innate spiritual energy."

"Hehe, junior sister has misunderstood."

Ancient immortal arts do not require pure innate spiritual energy; extremely refined magical power is also sufficient. Otherwise, wouldn't the ancient immortal arts of the Kunlun Daoist sect have become mere decorations since ancient times?

At this moment, the junior sister's realm was already satisfied. The purity and power of her pure Yin magic were among the top three in the Kunlun Daoist sect since ancient times!

However, the ancient immortal techniques I cultivate are unsuitable for you, junior sister. On the contrary, the Fuxi Eight Trigrams are extremely suitable for you!

"Fuxi's divine arts?"

The Fuxi Bagua sounds ordinary, just like the Yu Wang San Pian, Liu Ren Shen Shu, and Zhou Wang Bagua.

However, the Fuxi Bagua is the innate Bagua, capable of calculating celestial secrets, and is also the ancestor of Qimen Dunjia. In its profound aspects, it is in no way inferior to the Yin-Yang Great Divine Power and the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique, which are hailed as the strongest divine powers.

"What does Senior Brother mean?"

"The potential of Fuxi's divine arts is in no way inferior to the great ancient divine powers, and at its deeper levels, it even has the ability to change the world and shift stars."

What is most needed to calculate the Zhou Tian Bagua?

Luck! Merit! Faith!

Today, the merchant guild is spread throughout the land, and its prosperity is in no way inferior to that of the empire; its faith is so great that it can gather gods to attain enlightenment; not to mention its merits.

Therefore, I, your elder brother, intend for you to practice the art of the Eight Trigrams of Fuxi.

Not to mention the ability to protect yourself in the future, at the Dao Integration Realm, your harmony with heaven and earth can also allow you to calculate all the secrets of heaven and prepare for future heavenly tribulations.

In particular, our joint cultivation of the Yin-Yang Unity Great Divine Power is also closely related to the divine arts of Fuxi.

"Li Yang understands!"

The Ten Ancient Immortal Arts (bjca) have extremely demanding cultivation conditions. Even though Zhang Xiaoshan analyzed many of their supernatural abilities, Li Yang had only managed to condense a three-zhang (approximately 10 meters) cloud of auspiciousness at this point.

This was a protective technique that Zhang Xiaoshan helped her refine.

Compared to Zhang Xiaoshan's current thirty-zhang-long primordial spirit auspicious cloud, the difference is not only a hundred times in size, but also in the quality of the auspicious cloud and its supernatural abilities, which are worlds apart and incomparable.

Even so, for Princess Liyang, this can still be considered a trump card, and even an ace up her sleeve.

However, in Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, this could not be called a supernatural power at all.

The Fuxi Bagua is listed among the ancient immortal arts, and it is not like the Qimen Dunjia that the old Taoist Yi Xuan is proficient in.

The reason why ancient immortal arts are called ancient immortal arts is that each one has the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth and exhaust the mysteries of the Dao.

No matter how powerful Yi Xuan Lao Dao's Qimen techniques are, they still rely on the power of heaven and earth.

The supernatural power of Fuxi's Eight Trigrams is to control the power of heaven and earth and seize the power of Yin and Yang creation, which can be said to be on a completely different level.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be listed as an ancient immortal technique.

"Given Junior Sister's current level of cultivation, Sect Leader Bai Xuan would not refuse her."

Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Yang have always been one entity, therefore the rewards from the Kunlun Daoist sect have always been given to Zhang Xiaoshan.

When Li Yang made his request, Bai Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

It should be noted that Li Yang is also a great master above the Immortal Realm and a pillar of the Kunlun Dao Sect, not to mention the contributions Li Yang has made to the Kunlun Dao Sect by overseeing the business.

···

"Perform a ritual to accumulate ten billion merits and comprehend the Eight Trigrams of Fuxi!"

Three months later, Zhang Xiaoshan went into seclusion again.

Zhang Xiaoshan had his own reasons for having Li Yang cultivate this supernatural ability.

For example, his middle-aged incarnation is the most suitable person to comprehend the divine art of Fuxi's Eight Trigrams. By cultivating both at the same time, it can be said that he can achieve two goals at once.

The most important aspect of the Fuxi Bagua's supernatural power lies in condensing the innate Bagua image within the primordial spirit's purple palace.

At that time, the Purple Mansion will become its own little world.

In this respect, Princess Liyang, who possesses the pure Yin lineage and has already reached the Dao Integration Realm, does not find it difficult.

Moreover, with the combined cultivation of Yin and Yang, under Zhang Xiaoshan's control, 30% of the innate spiritual energy helped Li Yang condense the image of the innate Bagua.
