Netherworld.

True Master Yu Ding had traveled far and wide for a long time, and rarely returned to the Netherworld.

He saw the drifting Immortal Light of Zhou Jue Heavenly Palace and knew the Sect Hierarch was refining artifacts again.

True Master Yu Ding waited outside the palace gate for a moment.

"Come in." A clear voice called him to enter, it was Xuanqing.

True Master Yu Ding pushed the door and entered.

Bang!

The tranquil Heavenly Palace made a soft sound, like a drop of water falling into a deep, silent pond, causing ripples of time to spread out.

True Master Yu Ding looked around, seeing only vastness.

It was water, the silver-white Cosmic Light Water.

Upon the boundless Sea of Cosmic Light, only He stood alone.

Xuanqing's figure was not seen, nor was his voice heard.

Tap, tap, tap~~

The crisp sound of stepping in water resonated, True Master Yu Ding took steps, following his senses towards a direction.

He didn't know how long he walked.

He arrived at a world of black and white.

Everything he saw was in black and white.

Mountains, trees, flowers, birds, fish, insects, rivers, and lakes... all were black and white, like a giant ink painting.

True Master Yu Ding also became a small figure within this ink painting.

"Am I a person in the painting?" True Master Yu Ding found it amusing.

He continued along a mountain path, appreciating the Ink World's beautiful scenery.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew between heaven and earth as he walked.

This wind appeared out of nowhere, fiercely.

It tore through Chaos, ripped through space-time, shattered the heavens and the earth, and severed past and present!

"What kind of Spiritual Treasure is the Master refining?" True Master Yu Ding inwardly groaned. This wind was strange and terrifyingly powerful, seemingly possessing the might to destroy everything.

He advanced against the fierce wind, feeling as if his divine body, viscera, Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and even his Innate True Spirit were about to be torn to shreds!

"Daoist Brother, the wind is strong here, why don't we proceed together?"

Just as True Master Yu Ding was about to lose his footing, a large hand supported his back.

True Master Yu Ding turned around and saw a handsome Daoist.

What did this Daoist look like?

He wore a turquoise Daoist robe defined by Yin Yang, his waist tied with an Innate knot. His face was as smooth as painted, and his lips were like a dot of cinnabar blood.

"Which fellow Daoist are you from the same sect?" True Master Yu Ding recognized the Jade Void Immortal Light on the other's body.

Eh? Immortal Light?

This fellow Daoist had directly pursued the path of a Heavenly Immortal.

The handsome Daoist replied with a gentle smile, "Chan Sect, Yun Zhongzi."

"Yun Zhongzi?" True Master Yu Ding stared at him in surprise, then looked around, unable to determine which prisoner this could be.

"Are you an Inner or Outer Sect Disciple? I don't seem to remember seeing you."

If he were a Daoist who successfully transcended from Taisha Heavenly Palace, then he should have seen him!

However, Yun Zhongzi's aura didn't match any of the Daoists from Hell that he knew.

Yun Zhongzi thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I also don't know whether I count as Inner Sect or Outer Sect."

"How so?" True Master Yu Ding was puzzled.

"Because I've always been in the containment station of B Universe, I just recently realized my own path and gained liberation, and it's timely that I come to meet the Master." Yun Zhongzi explained.

"B Universe?" True Master Yu Ding paused, as Inner Sect Disciples seemed to all be in C Universe.

Like A Universe, B Universe was also a place unfamiliar to them.

All they knew was that their Master had some peculiar collections there.

"Though it might be presumptuous, may I ask what kind of collection are you?" True Master Yu Ding was simply curious.

What strange and peculiar things were suppressed in Taisha Heavenly Palace?

Their kind, the Innate Divine Beings, could achieve transcendence.

How could a collectable from B Universe also transcend?

"Let's talk while walking." Yun Zhongzi and True Master Yu Ding backed each other, moving against the fierce wind.

"I am the Heavenly Dao of B Universe."

"You are the Heavenly Dao?" True Master Yu Ding was amazed, so Yun Zhongzi was the essence of Heavenly Dao?

"Yes." Yun Zhongzi nodded solemnly: "I was previously staying in containment station six. Among all the Heavenly Dao in B Universe, I was the quiet one. Therefore, after the Master picked me up, he named me 'Pure Heavenly Dao.'"

"No wonder you have an aura of purity, I thought it was a characteristic acquired after liberation." True Master Yu Ding nodded.

He asked, "It seems that your aura is not taking the path of transcendence within Yin, is it?"

"Not."

Yun Zhongzi shook his head: "After the master attained his Dao recently, the earth path of Netherworld has manifested, and our B Universe is no longer isolated from the C Universe."

"Listening to Guang Chengzi, my Daoist Brother, lecturing on the scriptures daily, I could hear them."

"Listening and realizing, I then attained liberation."

"Is it that simple?" True Master Yu Ding's mouth twitched, recalling his own struggles before his emancipation.

"Anyway, that's my experience."

Yun Zhongzi said, "I've listened to scriptures like 'Fengdu Decree Book', 'Great Demon Black Law Spirit Book', 'Primordial Daoist Scripture', and so forth."

"Did you understand all of them?" Yu Ding asked.

"Yes," replied Yun Zhongzi, "It seems I could transform into a demon, a ghost or become an immortal."

"After considering it all, I chose to become an immortal."

"Heavenly Immortals govern the Heavenly Dao, and I am the Heavenly Dao, governing myself suffices."

Yun Zhongzi smiled, "To command my own fate is to transform into an immortal."

"At first, I was a bit worried, but fortunately, the process went smoothly without any accidents."

"I suppose I should now be considered a Taiyi Heavenly Immortal."

"Oh, there's one more thing."

Yun Zhongzi looked at True Master Yu Ding, saying, "When I was being liberated, a scripture suddenly emerged in my mind, called 'Heavenly Dao Regulations Scroll Thirteen: The Handbook for Quick Success in Merit Heavenly Dao'; it must have been transmitted by the master."

"This scripture discusses how to fabricate the Merit Heavenly Dao."

"Since I am the Heavenly Dao myself, fabricating myself means 'cultivating' in the language of living beings."

"I followed the content and did some cultivation, successfully turning myself into the Pure Merit Heavenly Dao."

"Now I can fabricate merit by myself, called 'Pure Merit.'"

After Yun Zhongzi finished speaking, True Master Yu Ding's eyes lit up.

"Can you emit Pure Merit now, Daoist?" Yu Ding laughed and asked.

"Yes," Yun Zhongzi nodded.

"Then give me some; I want to experience what it feels like," urged Yu Ding eagerly.

"Alright."

Yun Zhongzi bestowed some Pure Merit to True Master Yu Ding.

Yu Ding immediately felt his organs cooled, his viscera well-regulated, his spirit comfortable, and no obstruction in his 360 joints.

"Not bad, feels even more vigorous!"

Both, bearing through destruction-infused storms, proceeded further.

Whenever they could barely endure, they bestowed themselves some merit to recover.

They walked on for quite a long while.

"Daoist Brother, we must be close, right?"

"Indeed, we're nearing."

The two advanced silently.

Before long, they saw a mountain with no colored roots and towering clouds.

Both disciples looked up; Xuanqing's figure was on the mountaintop, lofty and scarcely visible.

On the mountaintop, there was also a cauldron, swallowing and emitting strange lights, representing the aspect of Chaos.

"Disciples pay respects to the master," True Master Yu Ding and Yun Zhongzi respectfully said.

"Mhmm, take a seat and slowly observe."

Xuanqing waved his hand, and two meditation cushions appeared in the void.

True Master Yu Ding and Yun Zhongzi complied and sat quietly.

They curiously observed the phenomena within the Heavenly Palace, where Chaos had no form or image, only endless Light of Law circulating and converging.

Primordial Chaos Cauldron was situated amidst the chaotic phenomena, melting the endless miraculous Light of Law, gradually forming a bell shape.

The Dao produces one.

Following, Primordial Chaos Cauldron gently vibrated, splitting into two; the miraculous lights all over the sky also split into black and white, Infinite Laws carrying Yin and bearing Yang, condensing into a diagram.

One gives birth to two.

Finally, Primordial Chaos Cauldron shook again, transforming into three large cauldrons; the Great Dao's mysteries condensed into one divine banner, wielding the power to tear apart primordial Chaos and shatter forces disintegrating space-time of All Heavens!

Two gives birth to three.

Three Spiritual Treasures revolved in the void, eighty-one miraculous lights crisscrossed above and below, saturating the entire Zhou Jue Heavenly Palace Great Universe.

"This is?" Yun Zhongzi looked at the one bell, one diagram, and one banner, his eyes slightly widened, why do these three items look so familiar?

"Heavenly Creation Three Treasures?" Yu Ding's heart pounded, could such high-level Spiritual Treasures be cultivated too?

Was their master's Artifact Refining prowess too formidable?

Yet what shocked them even more lay ahead.
