The Seeds of Tongtian's Split with the Two Pure Ones

"Teacher!"

Laozi finally couldn't hold back any longer and bowed deeply to Hongjun, saying, "This disciple is foolish and ignorant, not knowing where the road ahead lies. I humbly request guidance from my teacher."

The Yuanshi Ones had the same expression. They were transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, born with the merit of creating the world, and their origins were so noble that they were unparalleled in the Primordial World.

But now, he's firmly blocked on the path to sainthood. How can the proud and arrogant Yuanshi tolerate this?

Hongjun's gaze swept across the area below, and he slowly spoke, "Laozi, go join the demon race and establish a religion there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Laozi was shocked, and Yuanshi was also greatly surprised.

Yuanshi expressed disdain, asking, "Those creatures with fur and horns, born from moisture and eggs?"

I am a true descendant of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, yet my teacher actually sent my elder brother to establish a sect among the demons?

This is absolutely ironic!

"Teacher, this..." Laozi's throat was dry, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a moment.

Hongjun's tone remained completely calm as he explained, "There is no other way. Nuwa has already Human Religion and gained the upper hand."

When the Human Race was first established, it was blessed by the heavens and had a great fortune.

Humans, witches, and demons now stand in a tripartite balance. The Witch Clan do not respect the way of heaven, nor do they worship gods or Buddhas, so you cannot interfere.

The Human Race's fortune has already been largely taken by Nuwa. If you were to establish another lineage, your merit would not be sufficient to make you a saint.

Only the demon race, who rule over the Myriad Stars Array and control the Heavenly Court, possesses the most prosperous fortune and still offers you the opportunity to establish a religion and become a saint."

The two exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

They were well aware of this principle, but they never dared to think in that direction.

Laozi was caught in a dilemma: on one hand, there was the readily available Saint Position.

On the other hand, there is the pride and dignity of being Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

After a long time, Laozi made his decision.

She took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Disciple... obeys the Imperial Decree."

Hongjun nodded slightly. "You don't need to worry about these things. Below the level of a sage, all are but ants. Without becoming a sage, it's all for naught. Go."

Upon hearing this, the two suddenly understood.

yes.

Below even a sage, all are but ants; without the potential to become a sage, all talk is ultimately empty rhetoric.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

The two said in unison.

Afterwards, they left Purple Heavens Palace and returned to Kunlun Mountain.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, the two sisters faced each other in silence.

"This matter still needs to be informed of my third brother."

Laozi suddenly broke the silence.

In any case, they are a trinity, and such a major event cannot bypass Tongtian.

Soon, Tongtian arrived at the Jade Void Palace and asked, "Eldest brother, second brother, what do you want with me? Has the Dao Ancestor thought of a solution for you?"

Laozi sighed and repeated Hongjun's words verbatim.

Upon hearing Tongtian, Tongtian was first taken aback, then frowned deeply and shook his head resolutely. "Absolutely not! Eldest brother, second brother, we are the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, how can we associate with that demon race and lower ourselves to their level? This action will surely be ridiculed by all living beings in the Primordial World!"

Yuanshi snorted coldly, his already unpleasant face now turning even more somber, almost dripping with water. "Third brother, what do you know! This is the only path to sainthood, personally instructed by the Dao Ancestor! Are you going to abandon the Great Dao for a mere empty title?"

"Second Brother, this is no empty reputation. In my opinion, the Method of Severing the Three Corpses is not the only correct path."

We cultivators should Proving the Dao by Force! You might as well abandon your cultivation and follow my Law Proving the Dao your Dao. You too can attain the Primordial Dao and live a carefree life!

Tongtian advised with a serious expression.

"Unorthodox methods!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi flew into a rage and shouted angrily, "Law Proving the Dao? Do you think you are Father God Pangu? The Dao Ancestor has already clearly stated that this path is extremely difficult and almost impossible! You are aiming too high and courting death!"

Laozi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, Yuanshi said makes sense."

The Method of Severing the Three Corpses is Orthodox Xuanmen passed down by the Dao Ancestor. We have already cultivated it to the peak of Quasi-Saint, how can we give up halfway?

"Stop being so stubborn! Quickly come with me and your second brother to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court to plan something important."

Tongtian looked at his two elder brothers and fell into deep thought.

She inadvertently recalled Chu Feng's words; her pursuit of seizing a sliver of hope was fundamentally different from her two brothers' belief in following the will of Heaven and the will of the people.

I never imagined they would be so reckless in their pursuit of sainthood.

Tongtian meant well, Three Pure Ones are one; she didn't want to see her two brothers become puppets of the Heavenly Dao.

Unexpectedly, his good intentions were met with a scolding.

Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

Tongtian straightened his chest, his sword intent growing even more fierce. "Eldest brother, second brother, I will not follow your path."

"You need not try to persuade me further about my path."

She glanced at the two men, then bowed respectfully, saying, "Eldest brother, second brother, you two should take care of yourselves."

Having said that, Tongtian resolutely turned around and transformed into a streak of azure sword light, departing.

"You scoundrel! You're getting more and more unruly!"

Yuanshi was trembling with rage, pointing in the direction Tongtian had left and cursing, "Does she even care about us two older brothers anymore?!"

Laozi looked at the empty palace gate and sighed softly, "So be it, let her go. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force them."

"We will no longer concern ourselves with our third brother's affairs; let's see how far she can go on her own."

Laozi's tone was full of disappointment; he decided to give up on Tongtian.

"Let's go."

Laozi stood up, brushed off his sleeves, and composed himself.

Yuanshi suppressed his anger and nodded.

Two beams of clear light shot out of Kunlun and flew straight towards the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

The Demon Clan 'Immortal Court stands majestically, where Yao Qi and celestial auras intertwine.

Upon seeing that the visitors were two of the Three Pure Ones, none of the demons dared to stop them and immediately informed the authorities.

Soon, Demon Empress Di Jun, along with Demon Master Kunpeng and a group of great demon saints, personally came out to greet them.

"Haha, I didn't know it was Fellow Taiqing Yuqing or Fellow Daoist Yuqing who graced us with their presence. Di Jun, have not been so kind in welcoming you. Please forgive me!"

Di Jun, dressed in imperial robes and wearing an imperial crown, warmly greeted them.

Yuanshi nodded, his face expressionless.

Laozi, on the other hand, appeared much more composed. She bowed to Di Jun and said, "Di Jun, my second brother and I have come here not to reminisce."

Di Jun frowned. Could it be that the two of them wanted something from him?

However, out of respect for Hongjun, Di Jun still politely inquired, "May I ask what brings you two to my Demon Court?"

"To be honest, my second brother and I wish to establish a sect among the demon race to educate and enlighten all demons. Would Fellow Di Jun agree?"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun secretly sneered.

The whole Primordial World knows that your Laozi wanted to Human Religion, but Nuwa intercepted his idea.

Donghuang Taiyi looked at them with an amused expression.

Di Jun immediately fell into deep thought.

The Three Pure Ones possess the merit of creating the world and also have the Primordial Violet Qi. If they could join the demon race, it would be entirely beneficial to the demon race.

I now possess a Primordial Violet Qi. If Two Pure Ones joins the Demon Clan, once they attain sainthood, the Demon Clan will have three saints.

Of course, Kunpeng did not tell Di Jun about his possession of the Primordial Violet Qi.

She thought she had hidden it well, but little did she know that when Chu Feng gave her the Primordial Violet Qi, he shielded her from the secrets of Heavenly secrets, so Di Jun naturally couldn't detect it.

Seeing that Di Jun remained silent, Laozi quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Di Jun, are you perhaps unwilling? We have come here on our master's orders..."
