Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect threw back his head with a laugh: "The Three Teachings are one body—what fear is there in life or death? How could any of you fellow brothers abandon the Jie Sect?"

Zhao Gongming strode forward, resolutely breaking away from the Heavenly Court's camp.

The Three Heavens Maidens and Jinling did not hesitate, following close behind: "We are willing to share life and death with the Eldest Brother!"

Then the Six Attendant Immortals, the Ten Heavenly Lords, and other Jie Sect Immortals and Gods stepped forward one after another.

"We are willing to fight to the end alongside you fellow brothers!"

All the Jie Sect Immortals and Gods withdrew from the Heavenly Court as one.

Haotian's face instantly turned icy cold.

Before he could speak, the Antarctic Immortal Elder had already said with a smile: "The Three Teachings are one family—life and death are no matter."

With that, the Antarctic Immortal Elder stepped into the Three Teachings' camp.

Yang Jian, Nezha, Li Jing, and other Chan Sect Immortals and Gods showed not a trace of hesitation, all stepping forward.

"We are willing to fight to the death with the Eldest Brother!"

In an instant, all the Chan Sect and Jie Sect Immortals and Gods in the Heavenly Court abandoned it, standing in front of the Western Sage's incarnation.

At this moment, the Three Teachings were truly united in heart and effort!

This scene shook the entire Primordial Land.

Was this the power of the Three Pure Ones' lineage?

The Buddhist Sect's Burning Lamp and other immortals and buddhas were stunned speechless.

Had these Three Teachings Immortals and Gods gone mad?

Haotian, meanwhile, was grim-faced, bloodshot veins thick in his eyes.

The Heavenly Court's Immortals and Gods were originally its subordinates, yet they wanted to aid Immortal Qin—this enraged Haotian.

"You are all seeking your own doom!" Haotian roared. "I can wipe out your true spirits right now!"

Hearing Haotian's bellow, Zhao Gongming burst into loud laughter.

"It's nothing but death—what do I, Zhao Gongming, have to fear?"

Yunxiao cast a contemptuous glance at Haotian.

"Just a clown jumping around."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder said calmly: "The Heavenly Emperor might as well try."

Haotian's face sank completely, his whole body trembling as he roared: "You're asking for death!"

Zhao Gongming and the other Chan and Jie Immortals and Gods regarded Haotian with cold eyes.

You want to make a move?

Then go ahead!

But can you?

Seeing the Chan and Jie Immortals and Gods utterly disregarding the Heavenly Court, Haotian's face turned ashen, his teeth grinding audibly.

He wished he could annihilate every true spirit on the Investiture of the Gods to assert his authority.

Yet...

He dared not.

This great battle had left the Heavenly Court severely weakened, with no cards left to play.

And the Chan and Jie Immortals and Gods on the Investiture of the Gods had instead become the Heavenly Court's strongest force.

If he moved against them, the Heavenly Court would sink to a backwater power in the Primordial Land.

Haotian lacked the courage to deal with the Chan and Jie Immortals and Gods.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor had become a laughingstock in everyone's eyes.

Xuandu had no interest in Haotian; instead, he turned to the Chan and Jie Sect Immortals and Gods with a smile and said: "You have all performed admirably."

"The Three Teachings are originally one body," he continued. "The masters would surely be pleased by this as well."

Zhao Gongming, Guangchengzi, and the others from the Chan and Jie Sects all broke into smiles upon hearing this.

"The Three Teachings are like one family—advancing and retreating together, fearless of life or death." Xuandu nodded in approval.

"Excellent." Then, all those from the Three Teachings manifested the supreme Dao resonance of the Three Pure Ones.

The three forces of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing flowed and merged, flawless and complete.

Facing the Sage's overwhelming power, the Three Teachings stood calm and unafraid.

This scene shook the entire Primordial Land.

In the Five Villages Monastery, Zhen Yuanzi was filled with emotion.

"So this is the power of the Three Pure Ones' lineage!" he sighed. "If the Three Teachings had been of one mind back during the Investiture of the Gods, the Buddhist Sect would have been nothing but a clown jumping around."

In Square Inch Mountain, Sun Wukong was also deeply astonished.

He had gained a new perspective on the people of the three teachings.

"These few are all worth befriending."

"And this Buddhist sage is far too overbearing."

"Once I attain the Dao in the future, I will surely make a trip to Spirit Mountain and trample the Western Paradise!"

Within the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun felt a surge of relief seeing the three teachings united.

"The Unity of Three Teachings is the brightest future!"

"Big Brother's decision was indeed correct!"

"I just wonder how Tongtian is faring now."

But witnessing the Jie Sect's display of such blood and passion, Yuanshi's expression grew complicated.

He gazed at the Purple Cloud Palace, his mind churning with countless thoughts.

Now, Yuanshi increasingly felt that the character of living beings mattered more than innate talent and foundation!

Recalling his countless arguments with Tongtian, where he had torn apart Tongtian's principle of teaching without discrimination, Yuanshi couldn't help but sigh softly.

Tongtian was not wrong—it was he who had been mistaken!

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun sneered inwardly.

The Three Pure Ones still wanted to mend the ties between the three teachings?

Pity—it was already too late for redemption!

"How laughable."

At this moment, under the crushing weight of the Heavenly Dao, Tongtian was battered and bleeding profusely, yet his eyes burned with extraordinary brightness!

Seeing the three teachings of the Heavenly Court truly united, his heart surged with emotion!

Big Brother had not abandoned his disciple!

The Three Pure Ones as one, the three teachings united!

This was the true future!

Tongtian laughed uproariously to the heavens!

Hongjun sought to torment his will with the power of the Heavenly Dao!

But for the three teachings, what fear was there in falling even if it meant death?!

Tongtian ignited his potential and, under the terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Dao, took another step forward!

Hongjun cast a cold glance at Tongtian.

Hongjun indifferently swept his gaze over the Tushita Palace in the Heaven of Detachment, choosing to stand by and watch Tongtian's obsession.

Let Tongtian believe all hope could come true, only to have it shatter utterly at the last moment—that would truly plunge him into despair and sever his path to the Great Dao.

The sole Variable at present was Taiqing, but Hongjun was not worried.

All Taiqing could do was channel his saintly power into Supreme Lord Laozi to save someone.

Hongjun was eagerly awaiting this moment—once Taiqing acted, he would have grounds to utterly annihilate the Three Pure Ones and then track down the mysterious figure who might be driving the Primordial Wilderness's evolution.

"Taiqing, don't disappoint me." Hongjun sneered.

Yet Hongjun did not know that Taiqing would not act rashly; he had another plan, a greater scheme brewing.

In the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist gods were utterly stunned as they witnessed the three teachings fighting to the death together.

These three teachings, usually locked in endless strife, were now united in heart—it was almost unbelievable.

Wudang couldn't help but clench her fists secretly, her heart racing with excitement.

The Unity of Three Teachings—this was the goal they had always pursued.

She nearly couldn't resist rushing in to help, but remembering Senior Uncle Taiqing's instructions, she held back.

Do not reveal true identity!

At this moment.

Tathagata snorted coldly.

"Courting death!"

"Now that the Three Pure Ones cannot enter the Primordial Wilderness."

"You mortals trying to resist are merely seeking your own doom!"

Xuandu said calmly:

"The three teachings are willing to forsake survival, unafraid even if heaven and earth collapse."

"You Westerners will never understand."

Bodhi sneered coldly.

"The ignorant know no fear."

"Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"

The moment the words fell.

Bodhi immediately urged the Seven Treasure Tree.

And Tathagata unleashed his saintly power with all his might.

The Seven-Colored Divine Light surged violently!

The overwhelming might of the saints swept across the entire Primordial World.

Heaven and earth changed color!

It was as if the world was about to be destroyed.

Every living being in the Primordial World trembled.

Even the mighty cultivators, at this moment, had their auras in disarray and their hearts weighed down.

Before a saint, all are but ants.

The Three Teachings... had no retreat left!

Even the fearless Witch Race felt a heaviness in their hearts.

Beneath the saints, there was simply no resisting their power.

Facing this terrifying pressure, the Three Teachings, though solemn, still burned with fighting spirit.

For the Unity of Three Teachings, they would sacrifice everything!

What fear was there in life or death?

Western Paradise.

Receiver and Cundi wore cold sneers on their faces.

With the Dao Ancestor backing them, they no longer feared the Three Pure Ones!

Since these Three Teachings were bent on death, then kill them all!

Underworld.

Houtu's expression was grave.

She had yet to truly evolve the power of the Earth Dao and could not intervene.

Houtu couldn't help but look toward Taiqing Daluo Heaven.

If Taiqing failed to respond, the first step of the Unity of Three Teachings would collapse!

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi rose coldly, his entire body surging with saintly power, ready at any moment to pour strength into his disciples.

Even if channeling saintly power would damage their non-saintly bodies, he could not stand by and watch his disciples fall!

There was no other way now!

Even his elder brother could only supply saintly power to his Good Corpse!

Wa Huang Palace.

Nüwa's expression was sharp, ready at any moment to send down saintly power.

The disciples of the Three Teachings had come this far to protect the Human Race—she would naturally shield them!

Five Villages Monastery.

Zhen Yuanzi rose slowly, his face resolute.

He bore the heavy karmic debt of the Taiqing Saint and could not bear to see Taiqing's disciples die here!

At that very moment.

The River of Time and Space in the Primordial World suddenly froze.

The Four Saints were stunned, staring at the Primordial World in disbelief!

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, above the Nine Heavens, from the River of Time and Space in the Primordial World, a divine and sacred hand slowly reached out. Its fingertip brushed lightly, as if merely touching the surface of water.

Boom!

Time and space collapsed, order crumbled, the stars of the heavens shattered, and the universe dissolved into nothingness.

The spirituality of the Seven Treasure Tree dissipated in an instant, and the power of the Western saints vanished like smoke and dust.

The terror-stricken expression on Tathagata's face froze, then shattered into nothing.

His two physical bodies collapsed in an instant, and his Primordial Spirit was erased the moment it appeared, with no room to struggle.

These two Saint's Good Corpses, who had swept across the Primordial World with saintly power, were utterly annihilated in that moment.

That supreme, fearsome force seemed enough to destroy the entire Primordial World.

This sight shocked every being in the Primordial World.

At the same time, the Western Paradise beyond the chaos fell into dead silence.

Two saintly roars, filled with venomous hatred, shook heaven and earth!

The very chaos trembled!

"Taiqing!"

"How dare you!!!"

But at this moment, the Primordial World ground to a halt.

Even the Dao voices of saints

could not pierce this frozen stillness.

At that moment!

In the Primordial World, above the Nine Heavens, at the peak of the boundless starry river, a figure appeared.

An existence as supreme as if the Great Dao itself had descended.

He stepped into the Primordial Land.

His divine might was awe-inspiring, transcendent and otherworldly.

His features were blurred, like the Great Dao itself, impossible for mortals to gaze upon.

But his body radiated the supreme aura of the Three Thousand Great Daos, spreading across the entire Primordial World.

All beings, tangible or intangible, were enveloped within it.

Under this aura of the Great Dao, the terrifying fluctuations that had nearly destroyed the Primordial World moments ago

vanished in an instant, as if they had never existed.

The next moment, the River of Time and Space in the Primordial World began to flow again.

All things revived, and everything resumed its course.

And the powerful beings of the Primordial World

widened their eyes, stunned as they gazed at that supreme figure in the sky.

Before long, the ancient great powers recognized the identity of that figure.

Even they could not contain their excitement, their voices trembling slightly!

"This... is the Taiqing Saint!!!"

The Primordial World erupted!

A saint!

A true saint had descended!

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's expression turned icy cold.

Taiqing had dared to defy the rules and appear directly in the Primordial World.
