This Scene Greatly Startled Zhen Yuanzi

"The Three Pure Ones have gone their separate ways, with no trace of past friendship left. Please take your leave, fellow Daoist."

Tongtian said flatly.

"The Three Pure Ones share the same root and origin, bound by blood closer than kin. How could we truly break apart?"

Taiqing replied with a light laugh.

At the words "blood is thicker than water," Tongtian's pupils trembled slightly.

An inexplicable stir rose within his heart.

He could hardly believe such words came from Taiqing!

Was this still the same elder brother who had once stood by coldly?

Could the bond of the Three Pure Ones ever be restored?

Tongtian remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Taiqing's recent actions had all shown remarkable changes.

Tongtian vaguely felt that this elder brother might truly have transformed.

Yet, could the past truly be undone?

Tongtian's heart was full of conflict.

If Taiqing had been more open-minded back then, how could the Three Pure Ones have come to this?

Among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian had always valued loyalty and affection the most.

In the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect had lost to the Chan Sect many times, largely because Tongtian was unwilling to strike against his elder brother.

Now, seeing Taiqing's change, Tongtian's resolve began to waver.

But in the end, Tongtian still shook his head.

Even if Taiqing had changed, Yuanshi would not.

Moreover, now that Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao controlled everything, the situation was set and could not be altered.

All of this seemed meaningless.

"Fellow Daoist, please leave. Don't let anyone find you."

Tongtian sighed softly.

Though he didn't know how Taiqing had come to the Purple Cloud Palace, he believed this was extremely risky.

Despite his estrangement from Taiqing, Tongtian didn't want his former elder brother to be discovered by Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing Tongtian's reaction, Taiqing couldn't help but smile.

Tongtian was indeed loyal and affectionate.

"Tongtian, we Three Pure Ones are connected by blood. Yuanshi has also recognized his mistakes and is willing to apologize to the Jie Sect."

"In the future, when we Three Pure Ones unite as one and the Three Teachings merge, we can truly turn the tide."

"This item can neutralize the poison of the Saintfall Pill. Keep it in your Violet Palace."

With that, a streak of light merged into Tongtian's Violet Palace, and Taiqing's figure faded away, leaving only a Daoist echo lingering:

"When Immortal Qin rises against the heavens, step forth from the Purple Cloud Palace."

Tongtian was completely stunned.

Yuanshi was willing to bow his head and admit fault? How was that possible?

Even more shocking, Taiqing could actually neutralize the Saintfall Pill!

Wouldn't Hongjun notice?

Could everything Taiqing said be true?

But wasn't he afraid of punishment from the Heavenly Dao?

Tongtian stared at the Creation Source Pill in his Violet Palace, lost in thought.

He couldn't help but recall the past of the Three Pure Ones.

The three were originally born from the Pangu Primordial Spirit, sharing the same root on Kunlun Mountain.

Back then, the Three Pure Ones were inseparable, and no one dared to offend them.

But later.

Because they became saints and established their sects, the Calamity descended, and the Three Pure Ones gradually drifted apart.

Until the Investiture of the Gods war, the Three Pure Ones turned against each other, and so it remains.

The Three Pure Ones have grown weak, and no one in the Primordial Wilderness speaks of their might anymore.

Perhaps everything must begin anew now.

Tongtian withdrew his thoughts, filled with emotion.

He had never imagined the Three Pure Ones would reconcile in this way.

"On the day Immortal Qin challenges Heaven, the moment I step out of the Purple Cloud Palace!"

Tongtian murmured to himself, his gaze turning resolute.

He had made up his mind!

Trust in Taiqing!

Trust in his former elder brother!

The Three Pure Ones would gamble it all!

This time, they would wager against the Heavenly Dao!

In the Side Hall of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Suddenly, Tongtian looked around.

He found everything restored to its original state.

Not a single anomaly!

What shocked him most was this!

Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao had no awareness of what had just occurred!

"This is all real!"

Tongtian clenched his fists!

His surface was calm, but his heart churned like a storm!

At the same time, he stared at the Creation Source Pill, finding it even more unbelievable!

His elder brother Taiqing had managed to deceive the Heavenly Dao, converse with him, and leave behind a contingency plan!

This was truly beyond belief!

Could Taiqing have already surpassed the Heavenly Dao?

Tongtian suddenly entertained this speculation.

Perhaps the great upheaval in the Primordial Wilderness was also tied to Taiqing?

Tongtian couldn't help but stand, gazing toward Taiqing's Daluo Heaven.

His heart burned with a fierce desire to understand his disciple!

But as he moved, a supreme, indifferent aura locked onto him.

Tongtian's entire body trembled!

Indeed, Hongjun had been watching him all along!

Yet this also confirmed one thing!

Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao had not detected anything about Taiqing!

Tongtian quickly steadied his emotions, returning to normal.

He had to remain calm to avoid arousing Hongjun's suspicion!

Though Hongjun might not have seen through his elder brother's plan, Tongtian still acted with caution.

Yet inside, his heart surged with shock and turmoil!

Everything his elder brother Taiqing had said was true!

Tongtian now eagerly awaited the moment he would leave the Purple Cloud Palace!

He would finally see the light again, reclaim his freedom!

And even revive the Jie Sect!

Thinking of Taiqing's words—the Three Pure Ones united, the Three Teachings merged, turning the tide of fate!

Tongtian took a deep breath, feeling his spiritual platform tremble.

His elder brother was orchestrating an unprecedented, world-shaking scheme!

But he looked forward even more to the day of its success!

The name of the Three Pure Ones would resound across the Primordial Wilderness!

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun glanced indifferently at Tongtian, paying him no heed.

Finally, he turned his cold gaze toward the Primordial Wilderness.

At this moment, the most flourishing force in the Primordial Wilderness was the Human Race's fortune!

The Great Qin Iron Cavalry swept across the world, and the Human Race grew ever stronger.

In Hongjun's eyes, the Human Race had gradually slipped from his control.

This was something he could never accept!

"The path of the Human Race must be severed."

Hongjun's expression was calm, and with a single sentence, he sealed the fate of the Human Race!

The Human Race could only serve as a vessel for fortune, not as cultivators.

Of course, Hongjun's actions were of no benefit to the Primordial World's development.

But what did that matter?

Hongjun pursued only his own transcendence, not the growth of the Primordial World.

Now, with every mortal cultivating the Dao, this was a manifestation of that change.

If every mortal in the human realm became an immortal, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Moreover, Hongjun's move was also a test for that Mysterious Existence!

When Immortal Qin fell and the path of Human Race cultivation was severed, perhaps that Mysterious Existence would make a move.

At this moment.

Within the Eight Sceneries Palace, in Daluo Heaven of the Taiqing Realm.

Taiqing was extremely satisfied with the power of the Primordial Origin Authority.

He continued to comprehend this power.

It was an Innate Divine Power originating from the Supreme Primordial Chaos, and the Source Void it created was undetectable even by the Heavenly Dao.

This was Taiqing's greatest trump card.

As his comprehension deepened, Taiqing discovered that the Primordial Origin Authority was divided into seven ranks: Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, Top-tier, Peak, Transcendent, and Supreme, which perfectly corresponded to the three world levels: the Greater Chiliocosm, the Five Tai World, and the Supreme Primordial Chaos.

Moreover, as the Primordial World evolved, the Primordial Origin Authority would also rise.

Whenever a world level made a significant leap, the Primordial Origin Authority would advance by one rank.

That is to say, when the Primordial World evolved into a Taiji World, the Primordial Origin Authority would surely reach the Intermediate rank.

A gleam of light flashed in Taiqing's eyes, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

The current Primary Authority could already influence the Purple Cloud Palace, shrouded by the Heavenly Dao, without being detected.

Then, with the Intermediate Primordial Origin Authority, could it not influence or even control the Heavenly Dao itself?

The mere thought of this stirred excitement in Taiqing's heart.

Possessing such an ability meant that at a critical moment, he could break through the rules, directly enter the Primordial World, and even confront the Heavenly Dao Hongjun head-on.

At that time, he would fearlessly lay his cards on the table with the Heavenly Dao, and Hongjun would likely be caught off guard.

Now, while Hongjun was probing the Mysterious Existence, Taiqing had decided to act personally and respond with full force.

Within the Eight Sceneries Palace, Taiqing's gaze flickered. "When the world next upgrades, the Primordial Origin Authority will reach the Intermediate rank, and I will also have a chance to touch the Primal Unity Limitless realm. Then my strength will surge, enough to rival Hongjun, and even the Heavenly Dao will be unable to suppress me."

His eyes shimmered as he gazed upon the Primordial World. "Yet, the speed of the Primordial World's upgrade is still not fast enough." Even though the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant beyond measure—unprecedentedly rich in the eyes of a sage—Taiqing still felt it needed to go further.

Then, his gaze shifted beyond the chaos, where countless Chaos Stars were scattered.

A Dao Tablet appeared in Taiqing's hand—it was the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation.

A divine light flickered in his eyes. "It is time to forge the Grand Void banners, refine the stars, and construct the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation."

Once the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation was complete, it could continuously convert spiritual energy and drive the evolution of the Primordial World.

Forging the banners was manageable, but refining the Chaos Stars might draw Hongjun's attention.

Taiqing was not yet ready for a decisive battle. He needed to find someone to make this matter appear reasonable.

Taiqing's gaze shifted, landing on the boundary between the Primordial World and chaos—the Heaven and Earth Membrane.

A faint smile curled at the corner of his lips. "There is one person who is quite suitable."

The Primordial World, Longevity Mountain, Five Villages Monastery.

The reclusive Zhen Yuanzi slowly shook his head.

"Even a single step forward in sage cultivation is extremely difficult—even the slightest progress is no easy feat."

The Grand Pure One's calm voice echoed in his heart: "Zhen Yuan, I have a request."

The moment the words fell, Zhen Yuanzi inexplicably found himself in the Source Void.

Across from him was the Divine Sense projection of The Grand Pure One.

This sight shocked Zhen Yuanzi.

The Grand Pure One could silently and instantly draw a sage into the void!

His cultivation had reached such profound depths—truly awe-inspiring.

Zhen Yuanzi was deeply impressed and immediately bowed.

"Brother Grand Pure One, speak plainly. Whatever you command, I will give my all!"

After all, The Grand Pure One had once granted him the opportunity to become a sage and helped him reverse his fate!

Zhen Yuanzi was filled with gratitude and trust toward Grand Pure One Laozi.

The Grand Pure One told Zhen Yuanzi about refining the Chaos Stars but mentioned nothing else.

This left Zhen Yuanzi utterly astonished!

"There's a way to refine Chaos Stars? What a grand method!"

"Brother Grand Pure One is truly extraordinary."

The Grand Pure One smiled and produced a Low-Grade Chaos Spiritual Root.

"This is your reward."

Zhen Yuanzi was even more stunned!

He actually brought out a Chaos Spiritual Root!

Such things had long vanished from the Primordial World!

Even the Dao Ancestor might not possess one!

Zhen Yuanzi realized he had still underestimated The Grand Pure One.

Brother Grand Pure One's foundation likely surpassed what sages could imagine.

Taiqing Realm, Daluo Heaven.

Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace.

The Grand Pure One opened his eyes, a smile curling at his lips.

Zhen Yuanzi had already begun refining the Chaos Stars.

Holding the Earth Book and wielding authority over the Earthly Immortal Realm, Zhen Yuanzi could use the Heaven and Earth Membrane to refine the stars with great efficiency.

Moreover, to outsiders, this appeared as the Primordial World's Heaven and Earth Membrane expanding and devouring stars—a perfectly natural process.

Even Heavenly Dao Hongjun could detect nothing amiss.

Heaven and Earth's evolution had nothing to do with Grand Pure One Laozi.

As the Grand Void Primal Chaos Formation gradually perfected, The Grand Pure One's heart was at ease.

The Primordial World's advancement benefited all of Heaven and Earth, and all sages rejoiced—except for the Two Sages of the West, who were deeply worried.

Receiver and Cundi were fretting over the Journey to the West Calamity, especially since Sun Wukong had gone awry. As the calamity's key figure, his progress directly impacted the entire calamity's initiation.

At that moment, Square Inch Mountain was in chaos. Sun Wukong frolicked and played there, with no heart for cultivation.

Patriarch Bodhi looked at this unruly disciple, his heart filled with bitterness.

Ten years had passed. He had poured all his effort into teaching, yet it yielded nothing.

By all logic, the Lingming Stone Monkey should have already reached the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, but now he hadn't even achieved the Human Immortal level.

Patriarch Bodhi couldn't pinpoint the problem and could only turn to the sages for help.

When the news reached the Western Paradise, Receiver and Cundi furrowed their brows. This was undoubtedly a thorny issue.
