Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

The supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Purple Cloud Sword, was lightly grasped by Haotian. The sword light pulsed, and Purple Cloud Divine Lightning clung to the blade. Its powerful aura drew the attention of the Three Pure Ones.

Laozi Yuanshi glared fiercely at Tongtian, thinking, "My third brother was too impulsive."

But Tongtian didn't care. He'd always been like this; it was best to ask openly and honestly.

"You want to refine a spiritual treasure that can sever the three corpses?" Hongjun asked calmly.

"Master is wise. This disciple is now a Primordial Golden Immortal, walking the path of laws. The ability to sever the Three Corpses is a legacy of Master, and this disciple also desires to attain enlightenment through the Three Corpses." Laozi spoke before Tongtian could, "I wonder what method Master used to upgrade the Purple Cloud Sword into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?"

Hongjun sighed, and a small cauldron with three legs and two handles appeared in his palm, exuding a powerful aura that made the Three Pure Ones turn their heads.

"This is the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure, which can be used to refine innate spiritual treasures."

The three Pure Ones looked on with longing. What a powerful treasure! They had never heard of anyone in the primordial world who could refine a primordial spiritual treasure. Hongjun glanced at the three of them and said indifferently, "It consumes a lot of divine materials, and refining a primordial spiritual treasure requires the power of merit."

The Three Pure Ones were stunned; they truly had merit.

"Does Master currently possess a matching top-grade innate spiritual treasure?" Yuan Zong asked in a low voice, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Hongjun remained silent. He did indeed have another set, but that was for Haotian to refine, while the others had already been decided by the Heavenly Dao!

Feeling the three five-directional flags within his primordial spirit, Hongjun sighed inwardly. He had already given the Plain Cloud Banner to Haotian, so it was truly impossible to gather them all together.

Looking at the Primordial Lotus Diagram floating in front of Haotian, Hongjun shook his head, "This item is also missing one piece."

"no."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi was disappointed. Laozi opened his mouth and whispered, "May I borrow the Qiankun Cauldron to refine a Primordial Spiritual Treasure?"

Hongjun looked at Laozi and sighed, "The merit required for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is indeed considerable, but the three of you possess only the merit of the Great Dao. It would be too wasteful to use it to refine spiritual treasures."

The Three Pure Ones fell silent for a moment. Merit was gone once it was used up. Moreover, the merit of the Great Dao represented their fortune. If they were to consume it, then in the future, apart from being descendants of Pangu, they would be no different from other innate gods and demons!

"So be it, I'll give it to you sooner or later." Hongjun sighed, and two objects, one red and one yellow, flew out from the auspicious clouds, transforming into two small flags that landed in front of Laozi and Yuanshi.

"If you can find the remaining five flags, including the Southern Flame Banner and the Central Apricot Yellow Banner, it will be enough for one person to dismember the corpse."

Tongtian blinked and couldn't help but look at Haotian. If he remembered correctly, the Plain Cloud Banner was in his hands, wasn't it?

Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian. He and his eldest brother both had them, but what about his third brother?

Haotian was also completely confused. Why was the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner missing? Did his master really intend to give it to those two in the West?

Or does this thing have other uses?

Looking into Tongtian's longing eyes, Hongjun sighed, "This humble Taoist has no suitable spiritual treasure for you here."

The Heavenly Flower Flag will be given out after the third sermon. As for the others, they will be distributed later, and he will compensate Tongtian's disciple then.

Tongtian remained silent for a moment, then could only bow in respect.

"Master, why don't you lend the Qiankun Cauldron to Senior Brother Tongtian? What if they gain merit in this Yuanhui?" Haotian suddenly spoke up. Although he didn't know who would ultimately receive the cauldron, it would at least give the Three Pure Ones some hope.

Hongjun saw Tongtian's eyes light up for a moment, then after a moment of contemplation, he gently pushed the Qiankun Cauldron, which landed in front of Tongtian.

"I will lend you two cycles of time. Return this item before your third sermon."

"Disciples thank Master," the Three Pure Ones said in unison.

"Junior Brother, are you going back to the Primordial Land?" Yuanshi turned to look at Haotian and asked with a smile.

Haotian subconsciously looked up, and Hongjun answered for him directly: "You should also return to the Primordial Land."

"Then we will wait in the chaos." After Yuanshi finished speaking, the Three Pure Ones bowed in unison and walked out of Zixiao Palace. Only when the palace gates slammed shut did Haotian come back to his senses.

"Alright, now it's time for your questioning, Master." Hongjun looked at Haotian's astonished expression, raised his eyelids, and smiled. "What do you want to ask?"

Haotian was speechless for a moment, how frank he was!

Yaochi smiled gently, letting her set an example first: "I would like to inform Master that the Plain Cloud Banner is currently in my possession. Does Master intend for me to give this to Senior Brother Sanqing to settle our karmic debts?"

A strange glint flashed in Hongjun's eyes. He shook his head and chuckled, "I didn't mean that. You two should resolve the karma between you."

Yaochi paused for a moment. The plain-colored cloud-bound flag was given to her by Haotian for self-defense. As for how to use it, it depended on his thoughts. She turned her head to indicate: Hurry up and ask!

Haotian sighed, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Please enlighten me, Master, why does Heaven harbor such malice towards me?"

When he closed the palace gates to seize the opportunity of Jieyin and Zhunti, the master should have seen it, but did not stop him. It was Heaven that intervened directly, until all that followed.

After a moment of silence in Zixiao Palace, Hongjun rubbed his temples, considering how to speak. After a while, he leaned forward slightly and smiled, "The Heavenly Dao cannot be considered to have any ill will towards you. After all, it has a spirit but no wisdom, and everything it does is merely an act of self-preservation."

Haotian was puzzled, and Yaochi was no exception; both of their eyes were filled with curiosity, waiting for an explanation.

Hongjun continued, "I once said that by establishing the Emperor's Law, you have added a new path to the Heavenly Dao, and you will naturally be blessed with good fortune. But Haotian, do you know the characteristics of the Emperor's Law? Are you willing to be subservient to others?"

"An emperor should naturally be above all living beings," Haotian replied without hesitation.

"That's right. So back then, the Heavenly Dao treated you like any other innate god or demon. You were just a minor Great Luo Golden Immortal; what could you possibly do?"

"At best, you can attain the Primordial Dao, but that is still no match for the Heavenly Dao. Even if you can rule the primordial world, you will still be subordinate to the Heavenly Dao."

After Hongjun finished speaking, Haotian's expression did not change. This was indeed the truth. Unless his strength was higher than that of the Heavenly Dao, he would always have to rely on the Heavenly Dao.

He paused for a moment, then extended his palm, his knuckles distinct, emanating a Daoist aura. Haotian spoke softly, "So, it's because of the Heavenly Heart Finger?"

Hongjun nodded emphatically: "That's right. You must understand that even a Heavenly Dao Saint can only borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao, but your Heavenly Heart Finger forcibly uses the power of the Heavenly Dao. To put it bluntly, that's robbing it!"

"In the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao was supreme. Do you think it would willingly become a weapon in your hand?"

Haotian's eyes were unfathomable. All beings living in the primordial world are inseparable from the Heavenly Dao, and his Emperor's Law requires even more power. If the Heavenly Dao were to trip him up, he probably wouldn't be able to grow.

Hongjun knew what he was thinking at a glance, and shook his head with a smile: "It's not as terrible as you think. The Heavenly Dao wouldn't bother with you now."
