Taoism originates from Non-Precedence, manifesting through numinous resonance and emerging from Wondrous Unity. From this Wondrous Unity arose the Three Origins; from the Three Origins emerged the Three Pneumas; and from the Three Pneumas evolved the Three Fundamental Powers. Once the Three Powers flourished, everything starts to grow. The Three Origins are Chaotic Cavern, Great Emptiness Origin; Red Chaos, Great Emptiness Origin; Dark and Silent, Mysterious Pervasive Origin. The Celestial Treasure Lord was born from the Origin of Chaotic Cavern; the Numinous Treasure Lord was born from the Origin of Red Chaos; and the Divine Treasure Lord was born from the Origin of Dark and Silent. The traces of the Great Cavern differentiate into transformative sovereigns, who govern the Three Clarities domains. The Three Clarities (also known as Three Heavens) are Jade Clarity (Pure Tenuity Heaven), Highest Clarity (Leftovers of Yu Heaven), and Great Clarity (Great Scarlet Heaven). The Celestial Treasure Lord rules Jade Clarity (Pure Tenuity Heaven), where the pneuma manifests as Inaugural Green. The Numinous Treasure Lord governs Highest Clarity (Leftovers of Yu Heaven), where the pneuma flows as Original Yellow. The Divine Treasure Lord presides over Great Clarity (Great Scarlet Heaven), where the pneuma radiates as Mysterious White. Thus, as stated in Stanzas of the Life-giving Spirits of the Nine Heavens, although these three titles differ, their essence remain singular. These three lords each serve as doctrinal sovereigns, embodying the venerable deities of the Three Caverns.
