Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

"Become a disciple? Human body? Did you split yourself up while cultivating the Three Realms Great Dao?" Tongtian suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say.

The Pure Yang Eastern King naturally did not hide anything and said, "That's right... The Great Dao that I, the Eastern King, cultivate is the Great Dao of the Three Powers, which emphasizes Heaven, Earth, and Man. Ever since I obtained the incomplete method of severing the Three Corpses in the Purple Cloud Palace, I have been trying to comprehend the method of attaining the Dao from it. In the end, I discovered that the method of severing the Three Corpses is similar to the Great Dao of the Three Powers. It seems that, to some extent, the method of severing the Three Corpses evolved from the Great Dao of the Three Powers."

Therefore, relying on the method of severing the three corpses and the reverse deduction of the Three Powers Great Dao, I finally created the "Three Powers Great Dao Method". It severs the incarnation of Heaven, the incarnation of Earth, and the incarnation of Man.

With the three avatars unleashed, I will be qualified to step into the half-step Primordial Chaos realm.

Laozi stroked his beard, his eyes flashing: "It's not just about stepping into the half-step Primordial Chaos realm, is it? The Great Dao of the Three Realms is not that simple."

"Indeed... When you cultivate the method of severing the three corpses, the three corpses you sever are merely avatars, which have limits. On the other hand, when I cultivate the Great Dao of the Three Realms and create the method of the Three Realms, the three avatars I ultimately sever have no limits at all. Each avatar is like an independent individual, capable of cultivating on its own."

"For this reason, I have cultivated diligently for a long time, allowing the Three Corpses to grow. Then an ambition was born, an ambition to become stronger..." said the Eastern King's true human form, with a sense of desolation.

"A stronger ambition? You wouldn't happen to want all three avatars to reach the Primordial Chaos Realm, would you?" Tongtian's eyes flashed as he spoke.

"Since my Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Three Powers, have no limitations, and I can cultivate to the half-step Primordial Chaos realm, I can naturally cultivate to the Primordial Chaos realm as well. For this reason, I created a method of enlightenment for each of my three avatars. I hoped that all three avatars could achieve the Primordial Chaos realm, and then the three would merge, allowing me to advance further. Unfortunately, they all failed in the end, and the core of my failure was you." As the Eastern King said this, his deep eyes suddenly fixed on Ling Dan.

Ling Dan was somewhat dumbfounded: "Me? How could it be me?"

"Naturally, it's you. My incarnation of Heaven, the core of achieving Hunyuan, is the fusion of Yin and Yang, condensing the origin of chaos to achieve the Hunyuan realm. I originally intended to launch a surprise attack on the Queen Mother and plunder her pure Yin origin, but I ultimately failed. And the core of that failure was that you, Ling Dan, saved the Queen Mother." The Eastern King gazed at Ling Dan, with a sense of emotion.

As the Eastern King spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Ling Dan. The Ling Dan of today was not the same as before. In the past, when she was young, she might have chosen to avoid such authority. But now, Ling Dan's eyes gleamed, and as she met the Eastern King's gaze, she too exuded authority.

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan remained silent for a moment, then said, "I see... I saved the Queen Mother and thwarted your plans. However, your failure was inevitable. Whether in the past, present, or future, there is absolutely no chance you can devour the Queen Mother. I, Ling Dan, have said..."

Ling Dan, equally domineering, stared at the Eastern King with a fierce and menacing expression. Once, when Ling Dan was young, she lacked the confidence to utter such words; now, she had ample confidence.

"Haha... The little child from back then has grown up now." The Eastern King smiled, but also sighed, "Speaking of which, my plan to achieve enlightenment was not defeated by Di Jun, nor by Kunpeng, nor by you Three Pure Ones. But in the end, it was defeated by a child, by you, Ling Dan."

My plan for the Heavenly Incarnation to attain enlightenment failed because of you. My plan for the Earthly Incarnation to attain enlightenment was based on the principle of the Great Power. It relied on all living beings nurtured by the earth, using the earth to bear the great power of all living beings, and using the Great Emperor to transmit the great power of all living beings, ultimately helping me achieve the Primordial Chaos. Unfortunately, you found the Qi Luck Array, destroyed my Earthly Power, and caused my Earthly Incarnation to fail in its attempt to attain enlightenment.

My Heavenly Incarnation and Earthly Incarnation both failed. I was forced to choose to merge into the Heavenly Demon Pool. Otherwise, if my three incarnations had achieved Primordial Chaos, and then merged together, I would have achieved Supreme Primordial Chaos.

Ling Dan remained silent, never expecting the Eastern King to have planned so much. She had initially thought it was a grand formation like Penglai, a way to prove one's Dao through sheer power. The truth, it turned out, was the Three Powers proving their Dao.

The Eastern King cultivated the Three Realms Great Dao, combining it with the method of severing the Three Corpses to create three avatars: Heaven, Earth, and Man. Each avatar was an independent entity, possessing the potential to achieve Primordial Chaos. Driven by ambition and for the sake of cultivation, the Eastern King created methods for each avatar to achieve Primordial Chaos. However, ultimately, two avatars failed, both due to the sabotage of Ling Dan.

Ling Dan was also dumbfounded and expressed disbelief.

Laozi remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Eastern King... all those things have been buried by time. What's the point of bringing them up again? Besides, haven't you already achieved the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

"Indeed, it was meaningless. Although my chances to reach the Primordial Chaos Realm were thwarted twice, I still managed to achieve it in the end. However, this Primordial Chaos Realm is not what I envisioned." The Eastern King was indifferent and calm.

"Since you obtained the God-Slaying Spear, you also became tainted by the demonic path. It is only natural that you would ultimately enter the Dao through the demonic path." Yuanshi Tianzun said this, clearly aware of the Eastern King's current state.

Ling Dan was astonished and couldn't help but stare at her master: "Master, the Eastern King entered the Dao through demonic means and achieved the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

Laozi nodded, also sighing, "Indeed... the Eastern King has achieved the Primordial Chaos realm. He transformed into the Heavenly Demon Pool, drawing upon the desires of all beings, ultimately condensing those desires to cultivate the Great Dao of the Mind. He used the seven emotions and six desires of all beings to temper his own mind, thus achieving the Primordial Chaos realm. However, in this process, he received assistance from the demonic Rahu!"

"Indeed... My Heavenly Incarnation failed to achieve the Primordial Chaos realm. My Earthly Incarnation also failed to achieve the Primordial Chaos realm. Even if the two were to merge, supported by the Heavenly Demon Pool, there would still be imperfections, making it difficult to achieve the Primordial Chaos realm. I can only rely on Rahu's demonic assistance to achieve the Primordial Chaos realm. And because of this, I owe Rahu a great karmic debt." The Eastern King did not refute, but directly admitted it.

"The karma owed to Rahu is not so easy to repay," Tongtian said coldly.

"I can feel it. Since achieving the Primordial Chaos Realm, the demonic path has gradually eroded me. Alas... In the end, I underestimated Rahu and the demonic path. Back then, relying on the God-Slaying Spear, I peered into Rahu's demonic path and felt that the demonic path was nothing special. But only after truly experiencing Rahu's Dao Fruit did I realize the terror of the demonic path."

Now, I am gradually being infected by the demonic path, gradually becoming demonized, and my will is about to collapse. This is also the core reason why I had no choice but to send the incarnation of humanity here! The Eastern King did not hide anything and revealed the truth.

The truth, once revealed, left Ling Dan silent.

At this moment, a host of hidden pieces of information shocked Ling Dan.

Who could have imagined that the former Eastern King would also achieve the Hunyuan realm? However, this Hunyuan realm was achieved with the help of Rahu. As a result, the Eastern King owes Rahu a karmic debt, and is now being rapidly corrupted by the demonic path.

Tongtian then said, "Luo Hou's demonic path is his will. His will has always been domineering. Those who are corrupted by demonic energy and by the demonic path will gradually accept his will and transform into demons. Now, you have relied on the demonic path to achieve Hunyuan, and you are also destined to fall into the demonic path. You will be controlled by Luo Hou..."

"Indeed...that is what troubles me. That is why I have come to Kunlun this time..." Dong Wang said seriously, staring intently at Laozi, "I have come to Kunlun this time truly to seek a master."

"You've joined the Xuanmen. Do you want to rely on the Xuanmen to contend with Luo Hou? Your celestial incarnation has become a demonic Hunyuan. Your human incarnation, on the other hand, has entered the Xuanmen and become a disciple. In both the Dao and the Demonic, you are a disciple, so you can't possibly be defeated." Yuanshi Tianzun saw through this and said.

Tongtian nodded: "You originally cultivated the Three Realms Great Dao. In the end, you will be able to merge your incarnations and the Dao and Demon, achieving an even higher level of cultivation."

"Indeed... this is my plan. That's why I've come to Kunlun this time, truly to seek a master. I wonder if the three of you are willing to accept me as your disciple." The Eastern King asked again, then added, "Although this body is merely my human incarnation, it still carries boundless pure Yang energy, without a future or limits. With cultivation, there will be an opportunity to reach the Primordial Chaos Realm."

Laozi stroked his beard and gazed at the Eastern King: "I can see to what extent your human incarnation will reach. However, the Xuanmen is not so easy to enter."

"Of course I know that. However, my entry into the Xuanmen will bring many benefits to the Xuanmen. Firstly, after entering the Xuanmen, my avatars in heaven and earth will not completely fall into the demonic path. Secondly, through the connection of my avatars, I will also be able to understand some of the changes in the demonic sect. Thirdly, after entering the Xuanmen, I will first join the Three Teachings and am willing to bear 30% of the Heavenly Dao's karma on behalf of your Three Pure Ones." Without much thought, the Eastern King revealed his final trump card.

At this moment, Lao Tzu, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian all fell silent.

Undoubtedly, the three conditions mentioned by the Eastern King were truly tempting to them. Joining the Xuanmen would prevent the Eastern King's celestial incarnation from completely falling into the demonic path, which would reduce an enemy of the demonic path. Secondly, they could also rely on the Eastern King to obtain information about the demonic sect's movements.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the Eastern King is willing to bear the karmic debt owed by the three religions to Heaven.

Lao Tzu's eyes gleamed as he communicated with Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian.

The Eastern King was very confident; he knew he could succeed as soon as he arrived.

In the end, just as the Eastern King had thought, Laozi and the others agreed.

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "Fellow Daoist Dongwang... I can agree to let you become a disciple of the Three Teachings and belong to the Xuanmen. However, in return, you must also fulfill your promise."

"That's natural. However, regarding some of the Demonic Sect's actions, I can only notify them, not intercept them," the Eastern King said with utmost seriousness.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "We understand that."

After nodding, the Eastern King turned to the Three Pure Ones and asked, "I wonder, which fellow Daoist has become my disciple?"

"You shall become my disciple. From now on, your human incarnation will be part of my Human Religion. However, I will send your human incarnation to be reincarnated in the mortal realm. Ultimately, you will become my disciple as a human." Laozi said earnestly.

"Reincarnated as a human? Very well, the core of the Three Realms Dao I cultivate is that one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Now I am reincarnated as a human, integrating pure Yang energy into the human race, inheriting the pure Yang lineage of the human race. Accompanying the human race in its reproduction, spreading throughout the primordial world, completing the theory of the Oneness of All Things." The Eastern King immediately replied.

Lao Tzu stroked his beard and nodded: "Using pure Yang to evolve all things? That's a good method."

After a brief exchange, Laozi and the Eastern King reached an agreement.

From now on, the Eastern King's human incarnation will seal away his memories, cultivation, and everything else, and reincarnate as a human.

This cycle of reincarnation will also bear the karmic consequences of the Heavenly Dao of the three religions: Human, Chan, and Jie. It can be said that after the Eastern King's human incarnation joins the Human Religion, the total karmic consequences owed by Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian will be separated into three parts and fall into the Eastern King's human incarnation.

The Three Pure Ones owe thirty percent of the total karmic debt—that's an enormous amount of karma. However, the Eastern King has a way to repay it.

Upon seeing this, Ling Dan was filled with emotion and didn't know what to say.
