Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

"We've been deceived."

The Master of the Heavenly Sect said calmly.

"If some kind of mind-influencing technique had already been implanted before, then we naturally wouldn't doubt it."

Taiqing Laozi slowly nodded:

"Therefore, what we need to investigate is not whether Hongjun did anything wrong."

Rather, it is whether there is external interference within our own primordial spirit that is not of our own nature.

If the test results show nothing, then it's naturally a false alarm.

If it is found, then we'll see where that external force is pointing.

Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice: "You can investigate, but you must be careful."

If there is indeed external interference, then that external force can affect us for countless years without our knowledge, and its level of influence is self-evident.

If we investigate in a high-profile manner, the other party will surely sense it.

At that point, he only needs to withdraw that external force, and we will have nothing left to investigate; instead, we will have alerted him.

"Therefore, the secrets of heaven must be concealed."

The Tongtian Sect Leader said, "If Pan Xuan can use the authority of the Lord of the Divine Path to conceal the secrets of Heaven, so can we."

If he can do it alone, there's no reason why the three of us can't."

Taiqing Laozi nodded and slowly stood up.

He walked to the center of the Sanqing Hall, and a beam of light, interwoven with black and white, flew out from his sleeve.

The Tai Chi diagram slowly unfolded, and the Yin and Yang energies circulated endlessly in the hall, transforming into a huge Tai Chi pattern that enveloped the entire Sanqing Hall.

The Taiji Diagram is a supreme innate treasure containing the ultimate principles of Yin and Yang. It is the foundation upon which Laozi of Taiqing attained enlightenment and is also the most powerful defensive and sealing treasure in the primordial world.

By using the Tai Chi diagram to conceal the secrets of heaven, one can use the principles of Yin and Yang to block cause and effect, preventing any deductive power from penetrating this Yin-Yang barrier.

Yuanshi Tianzun also stood up and slammed the Pangu Banner to the ground.

The chaotic energy on the banner soared into the sky, transforming into a pillar of chaotic light that shone brightly with the yin and yang energies of the Taiji diagram.

The Pangu Banner was transformed from Pangu's giant axe that created the world, and its killing power is unparalleled in the primordial world, but its essence lies in chaos.

Before chaos was created, the secrets of heaven were not revealed.

The chaotic light of the Pangu Banner can disrupt all deductions and perceptions, making the concealment even more thorough.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was even more decisive, sending out the Four Swords of Zhuxian from behind him.

The four killing swords each occupied one of the four corners of the Sanqing Hall, and the Zhuxian Formation was unfolded on the roof of the hall.

The killing intent of the Four Swords of Zhuxian intertwined with the Yin and Yang energies of the Taiji Diagram and the chaotic light of the Pangu Banner, forming an unprecedented barrier.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian are the core of the number one killing formation in the primordial world, and cannot be broken by anyone but the Four Sages.

By sealing off the Sanqing Palace with the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, the Sanqing Palace is completely separated from the Heavenly Dao, forming an independent island of laws.

Three innate treasures—this kind of achievement is unparalleled in the entire prehistoric world.

The Taiji Diagram seals off cause and effect, the Pangu Banner disrupts the secrets of heaven, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian isolate the laws. The combined power of the three treasures completely separates the Sanqing Palace from the perception of the Heavenly Dao.

The Sanqing Hall at this moment is just like when Pan Xuan used the Star Seal to obscure the secrets of heaven.

No one outside could perceive any movement within the palace, and even the Heavenly Dao could not discern what was happening inside.

Even for Hongjun, who had merged with the Dao, it would not be easy to penetrate the cover of these three supreme treasures.

Moreover, Hongjun's will was being held back at the core of the Heavenly Dao by the laws of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the phantom of Pangu, leaving him no time to attend to anything else.

This is precisely why Pan Xuanfang dared to use the Star Seal to conceal the secrets of heaven.

Hongjun was restrained.

His range of perception was greatly compressed, and as long as he did not touch the core of the Heavenly Dao, he would have difficulty detecting regional anomalies.

After doing all this, the Three Pure Ones did not immediately begin their investigation.

They exchanged a glance, then each rose from their prayer cushions and walked to the open space in the center of the hall, surrounded by the three innate treasures.

"If you're going to investigate, then investigate thoroughly."

Taiqing Laozi's voice was calm yet resolute.

"Although the three of us were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, we have never truly joined forces to use the power left to us by our father since we took human form."

Today, we will use the Three Pure Ones and Three Talents Formation to summon the illusory image of the Father God's primordial spirit.

Using the power of the Father God as a mirror, one can see one's own primordial spirit.

If there is anything unclean hiding deep within our primordial spirit, it will have nowhere to hide before the illusory image of the Father God.

The Three Pure Ones and Three Talents Formation—this name has never appeared in the primordial world.

Because the Three Pure Ones never used it. This is a legacy memory left deep within the souls of the Three Pure Ones when Pangu's primordial spirit split into three.

The Three Pure Ones each occupy a position, corresponding to the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Taiqing Laozi represents the Heavenly position, Yuqing Yuanshi represents the Earthly position, and Shangqing Tongtian represents the Human position.

When the three powers are united, the scattered Pangu primordial spirits of the Three Pure Ones can be temporarily reassembled, and the illusory image of Pangu primordial spirits can be summoned.

This is similar in principle to the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons of the Wu Clan.

The Wu tribe used the combined essence and blood of the twelve ancestral witches to summon the physical phantom of Pangu, while the Three Pure Ones used the combined primordial spirits of the three to summon the primordial spirit phantom of Pangu.

One is physical strength, the other is spiritual wisdom.

When the two are combined, they form the complete Pangu.

This was the Three Pure Ones' trump card, their last resort. They had never used it in countless years.

Because it is unnecessary, there are almost no enemies in the primordial world that can threaten the combined forces of the Three Pure Ones.

Also because they were unwilling.

Using one's trump card means revealing one's true strength, and the Three Pure Ones have always been cautious.

But today, they have decided to use this trump card.

It's not about fighting the enemy, but about seeing the truth.

Taiqing Laozi stood in the heavenly position, the Taiji diagram slowly rotating beneath his feet, and the Yin and Yang energies swirling around him like two swimming dragons.

He formed a hand seal, and the aura around him gradually changed from his usual quiet and inactive state to a vast and profound one.

That is the essence of the Taiqing Qi within Pangu's primordial spirit.

It encompasses all things with its ethereal quality, and carries the weight of the Way of Heaven.

Yuanshi Tianzun stood in his position, the Pangu Banner fluttering behind him, and the light of chaos gushed out from his body like a waterfall.

He formed a hand seal, and his aura gradually changed from his usual imposing and fierce demeanor to an ancient and desolate one.

That is the essence of the Jade Purity Qi within Pangu's primordial spirit.

The power to dispel chaos, the laws that establish order.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood in the human position, with the Four Swords of Zhuxian swirling around him, their sword intent soaring to the heavens.

He formed hand seals, and the aura around him gradually changed from its usual sharpness to clarity and purity.

That is the essence of the pure energy within Pangu's primordial spirit.

Wisdom that connects heaven and earth, compassion that teaches all living beings.

"The Three Pure Ones return to one, and the primordial spirit returns to its rightful place."

The voice of Laozi seemed to come from ancient times, and every word contained the sound of the Great Dao.

Three beams of light simultaneously shot into the sky from the Three Pure Ones.

The Yin-Yang light of Taiqing Laozi, the Chaos light of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Sword Intent light of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Three beams of light converged and merged beneath the dome of the Sanqing Hall, gradually transforming into a phantom-like and ancient figure.

The figure wasn't tall, yet it seemed to fill the entire world.

His face was blurry, but his eyes shone as brightly as the sun and moon.

He didn't exude any pressure, yet he plunged the entire Sanqing Hall into an extreme silence.

Even the brilliance of the three innate treasures dimmed slightly, as if paying homage to this being.

The phantom image of Pangu's primordial spirit.

Unlike the illusory physical body of Pangu summoned by the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu tribe, this illusory physical body stood tall and upright, radiating the immense power of creation.

The illusory image of the primordial spirit is ethereal and clear, radiating the wisdom to see through all things.
