"You haven't defected to the enemy camp like the Three Purities and Nüwa. That's already good enough."
Hongjun glanced at Taishang's two incarnations and spoke meaningfully.
Sure enough, Taishang had long harbored ulterior motives. The technique of One Qi, Three Purities had been created precisely to break free from the Heavenly Dao's control.
