This Taiqing Clearly Did It On Purpose

The Primordial World's senior disciple moved, and before the crowd could recover from the shock of Taiqing Saint easily weathering the heavenly punishment, the Nine Heavens trembled violently once more.

Purple mist spread for a thousand miles, Buddha light illuminated heaven and earth, and the supreme pressure of saints enveloped the entire Primordial World.

The Two Sages of the West, Receiver and Cundi, descended, shaking all beings in the Primordial World.

"Is this the rhythm of the saint era returning?" Even the mighty ones grew uneasy, fearing a war among saints might erupt.

Above the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist Sect members were ecstatic at the arrival of the two saints.

Haotian also showed joy; now he and the Buddhist Sect stood on the same side.

"We pay respects to the Western Saints." The immortals of the Heavenly Court and the disciples of the Buddhist Sect all bowed, while those of the Three Teachings, though respectful of Taiqing, could not help but tense up facing two saints.

Especially since Taiqing had just endured heavenly punishment; they worried about his condition.

Yet no one knew that the heavenly punishment had caused Taiqing no harm at all.

Receiver and Cundi looked at Taiqing with full confidence, ready to engage in a contest.

"We follow the Dao Ancestor's decree to bring you to the Purple Cloud Palace."

"Come forth and submit!"

Taiqing smiled contemptuously after hearing this.

"Do you two even deserve that?"

At these words, Receiver and Cundi's faces darkened instantly.

Taiqing was far too arrogant, utterly disregarding them and even daring to be rude to the Dao Ancestor!

"Taiqing, you seek death! Today, you will pay the price!"

Receiver and Cundi were now brimming with confidence.

Their saintly power rippled intensely as they prepared to strike.

This scene shocked the entire Primordial World.

Had saints just reappeared in the world, only to trigger a war among them?

On Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi burned with fury.

"Hongjun and the West are bullying us Three Pure Ones too much!"

Yuanshi could no longer hold back and decided to descend himself.

The Three Pure Ones were one body, sharing life and death, fearing nothing.

Among the Three Teachings, how could Yuanshi not understand this truth?

What of declaring war on the West today?

In Grand Simplicity Heaven, Nüwa's face was equally cold.

"Hongjun is truly the worst of disciples."

Nüwa also decided to act.

Now that saints had appeared in the world, she was naturally not bound by the rules.

Hongjun sat upright in the Purple Cloud Palace, gazing down at the Primordial World with indifferent eyes.

He was full of anticipation for the trap he had set for Taiqing, wondering what outcome it would bring.

In the Underworld, Houtu trusted Taiqing, but Hongjun clearly would not resort to such simple means.

Just as the saints began to move, a strange phenomenon appeared in the Primordial World.

Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Two Sages of the West, Taiqing lightly tapped his fingertip, and instantly heaven and earth fell silent, all things grew still.

All beings in the Primordial World felt their hearts tremble, their divine abilities unable to function.

Receiver and Cundi were shocked to find their saintly power suppressed, unable to circulate.

All laws at this moment returned to nothingness, as if all methods were void.

"Taiqing, what have you done?" Receiver asked in a trembling voice.

Taiqing's smile was faint. "That's not important. You only need to understand one thing—"

He raised his hand and waved, divine light rolling like a river of stars, covering heaven and earth.

Taiqing Saint displayed supreme divine power, using the Grand Void Tribulation Light to instantly slay Receiver and Cundi.

Their saintly bodies burst apart, golden saint blood staining the sky red, even dyeing half of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Curtains crimson, shocking all beings in the Primordial World.

Such might had never been seen, not even during the Deification War.

In the Blood Sea, Styx also felt exhilarated, believing Taiqing Saint far surpassed the other saints.

In the Five Villages Monastery, Zhen Yuanzi was even more shaken.

The gap between saints was this vast!

On Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi was thrilled, his heart shaken.

My elder brother casually routed Receiver and Cundi—such terrifying strength.

Truly worthy of being Big Brother.

Within Wa Huang Palace, Nüwa sighed with mixed emotions.

She wasn't surprised by Taiqing's power, knowing full well the depth of his foundation.

In the Underworld, Houtu's eyes widened in shock.

Taiqing possessed such strength—had he held back during the Investiture of the Gods? Perhaps he had long seen through Hongjun's schemes and was quietly laying his own plans.

Inside Purple Cloud Palace, Tongtian was equally stunned.

This was his Big Brother? If he had unleashed his full power during the Investiture of the Gods, there would have been no need for Hongjun to intervene—he alone could have wiped out all the sages.

Maybe Big Brother had already known Hongjun's plan back then and had been setting up his moves all along.

Above the Heavenly Court, Haotian and the Buddhist Sect were terrified.

Before their excitement over the sage's arrival could even settle, Taiqing had effortlessly defeated Receiver and Cundi.

It was utterly horrifying!

The gods and buddhas in the Heavenly Court trembled, fearing Taiqing might casually annihilate them.

But the Human Race's Immortal Qin and the Three Teachings were ecstatic!

"Master is mighty!"

"Senior Grand Uncle is invincible!"

"The sage is eternal!"

Xuandu and Ying Zheng were equally thrilled, their reverence for Taiqing deepening.

Among the Witch Race, Great Witches like Xingtian were completely shaken.

Could the gap between sages truly be this vast?

At this moment.

Taiqing's gaze shifted slightly.

The Boundless Grand Void Tribulation Light surged forth once more.

Having barely escaped Myriad Laws Stillness, the hidden Primordial Spirits of Receiver and Cundi now showed expressions of utter terror.

They couldn't help but cry out in anguish:

"Taiqing, stop!"

"How dare you harm your fellow disciples like this?!"

"The Dao Ancestor will never forgive you!"

Taiqing's expression remained calm, as if he hadn't heard a word.

Since he had descended today, he would establish a new order through violence.

To completely overturn the Primordial World.

Let alone Receiver and Cundi, even if Hongjun himself appeared, Taiqing remained unafraid.

The Grand Void Tribulation Light spread wildly.

Receiver and Cundi's Primordial Spirits panicked.

The mighty beings of the Primordial World drew in sharp breaths.

Taiqing's strike was too ruthless.

Could he truly be...

The Heavenly Dao's aura suddenly swept through, whisking away the remnant souls of Receiver and Cundi.

Above the Nine Heavens, a pair of indifferent eyes gazed down upon all beings.

Above the Nine Heavens, a pair of icy eyes manifested—it was Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

He stared coldly at Taiqing and the Two Sages of the West, his mood foul.

Receiver and Cundi's performance was utterly disappointing—defeated so easily by Taiqing, whose true strength exceeded Hongjun's expectations.

What unsettled him more was the unprecedented divine ability Taiqing had displayed, one that even he found himself wary of.

Hongjun spoke coldly: "Taiqing, you have openly violated the rules of the Heavenly Dao and recklessly slaughtered your fellow disciples. What crime do you admit to?" At these words, all beings in the Primordial World trembled, and even the sages felt the weight of pressure.

Yet Taiqing remained composed: "What crime have I committed?"

Hongjun said, "The Heavenly Dao has not destroyed me, which proves I have not defied Heaven's will."

But what he had violated were the Dao Ancestor's rules—what did that have to do with the Heavenly Dao?

In the hearts of Primordial World beings, Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao.

But Senior Taiqing did not think so.

Finally, Senior Taiqing said with a calm smile: "As for killing a fellow disciple?"

"The West made a move against me—did they think they would escape punishment?"

By then, Receiver and Cundi had already restored their physical bodies.

Hearing this, the two were red-faced and furious—this was going too far!

But the two sages dared not strike at Senior Taiqing again.

For they knew well they were far from his match.

Cundi simply wrapped himself in a tiger skin as a coat and accused Senior Taiqing:

"Senior Taiqing, do you still dare to be so insolent before the Dao Ancestor?"

Receiver chimed in:

"Exactly! We follow the Dao Ancestor's will—you are defying him!"

"Master, this Senior Taiqing must be severely punished!"

Hongjun watched Senior Taiqing coldly, his tone calm.

"Senior Taiqing, enter the Purple Cloud Palace and go into seclusion on your own."

"Or shall I make you?"

Receiver and Cundi gloated after hearing this.

They pointed at Senior Taiqing and shouted:

"Senior Taiqing, why not surrender?"

"Are you trying to defy the will of Heaven?"

The mighty figures of the Primordial World saw this

and felt nothing but contempt.

The Two Sages of the West were so reliant on power and influence—truly beneath the dignity of sages.

Senior Taiqing only chuckled lightly, gave no answer, and instead asked a question.

Receiver and Cundi had violated the will of Heaven by descending their sacred power—did the Dao Ancestor turn a blind eye?

The many mighty figures of the Primordial World then came to their senses.

Indeed, the Two Sages of the West had also broken the rules—why had no heavenly punishment fallen?

Hongjun's gaze grew even colder.

This Senior Taiqing was clearly doing this on purpose.

But before all the Primordial World beings, Hongjun naturally could not admit he had arranged it.

So he said flatly:

"Receiver and Cundi will receive their due punishment."

At these words, a trace of mocking smile appeared on Senior Taiqing's lips.

The great powers of the Primordial World were not fools—they more or less grasped the deeper meaning.

At that very moment, two more supreme sage auras descended upon the Primordial Land!

Purple qi came from the east!

The heavens and earth were vast and boundless!

Nüwa and Yuanshi descended.

Nüwa glanced disdainfully at Receiver and Cundi, then said to Hongjun:

"Dao Ancestor Master, Receiver and Cundi are indeed at fault, but Senior Taiqing came to save his disciple—though improper, it is hardly a grave error."

Nüwa did not wish to clash head-on with Hongjun now, so she sought to ease the situation.

Yuanshi gave a cold snort and stood by Senior Taiqing, making his stance clear:

"Elder brother, we advance and retreat together!"

By now, Yuanshi had refined the Chaos Yellow Zhong Li Plum, his Dao advancing further.

Senior Taiqing nodded slightly.

Seeing Yuanshi and Nüwa arrive, Hongjun's expression grew even colder.

He said flatly: "Do the three sages intend to contend with the Heavenly Dao?" At these words, the heavens and earth instantly filled with oppressive pressure, weighing down all things.

The Primordial World beings were all shocked, unable to believe that the Three Pure Ones would dare challenge the Heavenly Dao.

Receiver and Cundi secretly rejoiced, thinking that Senior Taiqing and Yuanshi's move was far too reckless.

Nüwa also grew tense, never expecting the situation to develop to this point.

In the Underworld, Houtu's gaze locked onto Taiqing. "Is Senior Taiqing about to reveal his trump card?" Hongjun watched Yuanshi and Taiqing coldly, his pressure enveloping all.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the depths of chaos, shaking the Primordial Land.

Then a hearty laugh rang out: "The Three Pure Ones are one body—how could I, Tongtian, be missing?"

The Purple Cloud Palace manifested, and Master Tongtian burst forth from within. But Hongjun was focused solely on Taiqing, unaware of Tongtian in the palace.

With the suppression lifted, Tongtian's aura surged violently.

Master Tongtian unleashed the full extent of his power, breaking through the Heavenly Dao Prohibition of the Purple Cloud Palace in one go, and strode out resolutely.

After being imprisoned for countless years, he had reappeared in the world—a turn of events that shocked countless mighty beings across the Primordial Land.

Receiver and Cundi were stunned; they hadn't expected Tongtian to still hold such unwavering resolve.

Yet Hongjun remained indifferent, utterly unconcerned with Tongtian's plight.

Hongjun said lightly, "Tongtian, if you return to the Purple Cloud Palace now, I will let bygones be bygones."

But Tongtian threw his head back and laughed: "Hongjun, you imprisoned me for endless ages. Now that I've escaped, even if I die, what fear is there? Even if I fall into eternal ruin, I will never be bound by you again!"

At this moment, Tongtian was drenched in blood, his face haggard, but his spirit was soaring.

The instant he stepped out of the Purple Cloud Palace, he felt heaven and earth open wide, his Dao heart clear, and even under the influence of the Saintfall Pill, his cultivation had slightly improved—clearly, he had shattered the shackles in his heart.

Seeing this, Taiqing smiled. "Tongtian has achieved the Dao."

Yuanshi also showed a look of relief. Tongtian had finally walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace and regained his freedom.

The Three Pure Ones unite!

It was right before their eyes!

The Jie Sect Disciples in the Heavenly Court were ecstatic!

Their master had finally appeared again!

Wudang and Duobao were especially thrilled!

They had finally witnessed this moment!

The Jie Sect was about to revive across the Primordial Land!

All realms of the Primordial Land were also shaken by Tongtian's bold spirit.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh:

"Truly worthy of being Master Tongtian, who carved out a thread of life from heaven and earth."

But at that moment, A cold sneer appeared on Hongjun's face.

"So this is your reliance?"

"Then I'll grant your wish."

As these words fell, Every mighty being in the Primordial Land felt an immense pressure.

The Dao Ancestor had made his move!

Facing the Three Pure Ones repeatedly challenging his authority,
