Immortal and Demon Affairs Concluded, the Three Pure Ones Part Ways
After dealing with the matters concerning the Demon Clan and the Immortal Court, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti returned to their respective Dao Field.
Nuwa returned to the Empress Wa's Palace, where she tirelessly nurtured the last remaining Primordial Spirit of Fuxi's primordial spirit.
Jieyin and Zhunti returned to the West with worried expressions, and faced with the ruins of Mount Sumeru, they began a long and arduous task of repairing it.
The Demon Clan and the Immortal Court, which had fallen apart, were eventually divided up.
This was not forced upon them by a few Saint, but rather the choice made by the surviving beings themselves.
With Di Jun dead, the Demon Clan race was leaderless.
Most of the Demon Clan race felt that Nuwa, a Saint alone, could no longer protect them.
Therefore, some chose the Interception Sect and became disciples of the Saint Tongtian That One advocated "education for all".
The other group, led by a few surviving Demon God, went to the Northern Darkness.
Of course, there was also a small number who, having Jieyin all other options, were deceived by the sweet words of Jieyin and Zhunti and joined the Western Teachings.
The immortals of the Immortal Court made the same choice, each seeking their own way out, and their once mighty power vanished into thin air.
The Primordial Wilderness sky has completely changed.
Kunlun Mountain.
Inside the Taiqing Palace, another heated argument erupted.
"Third Brother! You really should discipline your disciples!"
The face of the Yuanshi Tianzun was filled with uncontrollable rage.
"Look at this! Look at what they've done to this once beautiful and blessed land!"
"If you ask me, you shouldn't have taken in so many remnants of the Demon Clan race in the first place!"
"Since they went up the mountain, has the Kunlun Mountain ever had a single day of peace?"
Primordial Lord grew increasingly angry as he spoke, pointing outside the palace.
"What right do you have to be disciples of us Saint, a bunch of creatures with fur and horns, born from moisture and eggs!"
In the mere tens of thousands of years since the end of the Immortal-Demon War, such quarrels have been staged countless times.
Tongtian initially didn't want to pay attention, but upon hearing the last sentence, his expression completely changed.
He suddenly stood up and stared directly at Primordial Lord.
"Second brother! What do you mean by that!"
"All members of my Interception Sect are devoted to the Great Dao! What do their Spiritual Root have to do with cultivation?"
"My Establish Sect advocate education for all, regardless of background; before the Great Dao, all beings are equal!"
"Just because they come from a poor background, does that mean they deserve to be denied the right to seek the Way?"
Primordial Lord sneered, his words becoming increasingly sharp.
"Third Brother, I think you've really been bewitched by those demons!"
"Their desire for enlightenment?"
"All I saw was their lawlessness! Their unruliness!"
"If you don't do something about this, your Interception Sect is bound to suffer a major disaster sooner or later!"
"My Interception Sect are none of your concern, Second Brother!"
Tongtian also lost his temper and confronted him directly.
"I think that your Clarify Sect, Second Brother, with its strict rules and regulations, will eventually wear down the disciples' spirit!"
"What future can a bunch of blockheads who only know how to follow the rules have!"
As the atmosphere between the two grew increasingly tense, Taiqing, seated at the head of the table, frowned more and more deeply.
He finally reached his breaking point.
"Enough!"
Taiqing shouted loudly, and the entire Taiqing Palace fell silent.
Primordial Lord and Tongtian both stopped arguing and looked at Taiqing.
Taiqing's face was full of disappointment and exhaustion.
"This constant noise and disturbance is unbecoming!"
"In just tens of thousands of years, how many times have you argued over this trivial matter?"
"You guys aren't annoyed, but I am!"
He looked at Primordial Lord, then at Tongtian, and finally sighed softly.
"I think this small Kunlun Mountain can no longer contain the three of us brothers."
"So be it, so be it."
Taiqing stood up.
"I'll leave this Kunlun Mountain to the two of you."
I will move to Mount Shouyang today.
Upon hearing this, both Primordial Lord and Tongtian were stunned.
Primordial Lord hurriedly stepped forward, his anger instantly dissipating.
"Eldest Brother! Why have you come to this!"
"I just have some disagreements with my Third Brother about our religious beliefs, but... it's nothing serious!"
Why would my Eldest Brother have the idea of moving away from Kunlun Mountain?
Tongtian also suppressed his anger and walked up to Taiqing.
"Eldest Brother, second brother is right, we just..."
But before he could finish speaking, Taiqing waved his hand, interrupting him.
My mind is made up.
Tongtian looked at Taiqing's resolute expression, then at Primordial Lord beside him, and felt a mix of emotions.
He took a deep breath and said.
"Since Eldest Brother is leaving..."
"Then today, I will also move out of this Kunlun Mountain."
He turned around and spoke to Primordial Lord.
"Second brother, I'll give you Kunlun Mountain."
Primordial Lord hearing this, Yuan Shi's anger surged once more.
"Third Brother! Why are you joining in the commotion with your Eldest Brother!"
"The three of us brothers have been together since we took human Form Transformation, never separated. How can we just break up like this!"
Tongtian shook his head.
"Second brother, this isn't just stirring up trouble."
"Our ideologies clash."
"If we force ourselves to stay together, what happened today will only repeat itself in the future."
"By then, the arguments will only escalate and further damage our brotherhood."
"I'd rather move out sooner rather than later; that way, we can still maintain our brotherhood."
Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Primordial Lord fell silent.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He wanted to refute it, but what Tongtian said was the truth.
He looked down on those Demon Clan, genuinely despised them.
He believed that the Pangu Orthodox should possess the dignity and respectability of the Pangu Orthodox, rather than mingling with a group of people of dubious origin.
Tongtian, on the other hand, was the exact opposite of him.
This fundamental difference is irreconcilable.
Continuing to stay together will only deepen the conflict.
But... we've broken up like this?
They are the Three Pure Ones!
They were transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, and are the closest brothers in the Primordial Wilderness!
How did things get to this point?
Primordial Lord's heart was in turmoil, filled with a complex mix of emotions.
At this moment, Taiqing's voice rang out again.
"Alright, that's settled then."
After he finished speaking, a mysterious mark appeared between his eyebrows.
He extended his finger and gently touched the mark, creating two identical orbs of light, which he then handed to Primordial Lord and Tongtian respectively.
"Now that we're separated, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the three of us brothers to comprehend the Heaven-Opening Mark together again as we used to."
"I have made two copies of my Heaven-Opening Mark; one for each of you."
"From now on, let us each ponder this ourselves."
Primordial Lord and Tongtian silently accepted the mark.
They exchanged a glance, and each channeled their magical Magic Power to create two copies of their Heaven-Opening Mark, which they then swapped.
After all this was done, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
The three brothers, who were once inseparable, completed their final handover in this way.
Taiqing stood up, took one last look at the palace, and then at her two younger brothers.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
He didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the Taiqing Palace, summoning his mount, the Green Ox.
Without looking back, they left Kunlun Mountain and headed towards Mount Shouyang.
Watching his Eldest Brother's departing figure, Tongtian's last bit of hesitation vanished.
"Second brother, I'm leaving too."
Tongtian bowed deeply to Primordial Lord.
Then, he turned and walked out of the Taiqing Palace, speaking loudly that echoed throughout the entire Kunlun Mountain.
"All disciples of the Interception Sect, heed my command!"
"Come with me and leave Kunlun Mountain to establish another Dao Field!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless streams of light shot into the sky from all over Kunlun Mountain, converging behind Tongtian.
"Yes, Master!"
"I will respectfully obey Master's Imperial Edict!"
The Jie Sect Disciple responded in unison, their voices resounding powerfully.
Tongtian took one last look at the mountain range where he had lived for countless Eon, and then rode on auspicious clouds.
He led his vast entourage of disciples and followers away from Kunlun Mountain.
The vast Kunlun Mountain instantly became empty and quiet.
Primordial Lord stood alone in front of the Taiqing Palace, watching Taiqing and Tongtian's figures disappear into the horizon.
He stood there silently without saying a word.
After a long while, he slowly raised his hand and waved it.
Two Restrictions descended, completely sealing away the former Taiqing Palace and Shangqing Palace.
From now on, only Yuqing Palace will remain here.
