Sanqing Split Apart, Fortune Divided

Tongtian had long since lost all hope in Taiqing and Yuanshi.

Therefore, when facing Taiqing, he did not feel the anger he had expected, but rather an unexpected calm.

But ultimately, he wanted a result.

Seeing Tongtian's expression, Taiqing's heart sank.

Having already anticipated the outcome, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Senior Brother Taiqing, Junior Brother Tongtian!"

At this moment, Yuanshi entered the main hall, his face showing neither pride nor remorse, remaining as calm as ever.

"Brother Yuanshi has arrived just in time."

Tongtian has come this time seeking an explanation, or at least a resolution!

Tongtian calmly repeated his purpose once again.

Explanation? Result?

What explanation and result do you want?

This great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was set by the Master to eliminate the great calamity and strengthen the authority and rules of the Heavenly Dao.

As saints, we should cooperate fully to perfect this tribulation.

Instead of getting caught up in your own petty interests!

Yuanshi was not uncomfortable with Tongtian's questioning, and his own will was even more unwavering.

"If it is truly just following the trend, Tongtian can naturally accept it."

Even if my Interception Sect were to perish as a result, Tongtian would not utter a single complaint.

But what did you, Yuanshi, do? When you were secretly plotting against me, did you ever think about the brotherhood among the Sanqing?

Tongtian's voice was neither warm nor cold, yet it was full of questioning.

"Although we are brothers, we are rivals in this calamity, and naturally we have no choice but to fight."

I never forbade you from taking action!

Yuanshi was resolute and did not believe he was wrong.

"Tongtian, what Yuanshi said is correct."

My two brothers and I have been together for countless eons; please don't hold a grudge over such a trivial matter.

No matter how much we fight in this calamity, it cannot change the fact that the Sanqing share the same origin.

Let's not let this ruin our friendship!

Just then, Taiqing also spoke.

Although he and Yuanshi had their own schemes, they never intended to truly sever their ties with the Sanqing.

"The bond between the Sanqing? Do you really care about it?"

If she cared, would she really scheme against me like this?

Even if Yuanshi is right, is this Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods a struggle between me and him?

And what about you? My most respected senior brother, you have always stood on Yuanshi's side, plotting against me with him.

To scheme against me, you've even allied yourselves with the West?

Is this what you call caring about the bond between the Sanqing?

Tongtian, instead of being angry, laughed.

I am so disappointed that I have completely given up hope and no longer have any expectations.

When they first Transform into Human Form, the three of them did indeed support each other without any barriers, and wholeheartedly planned for each other.

But all of this changed after he became Hongjun's disciple.

As they turned to cultivate the Xuanmen Heavenly Dao, they each chose different paths.

Most importantly, the path he chose, Tongtian, is in opposition to that chosen by Yuanshi.

This led to numerous conflicts and disputes.

Ultimately, it was through Taiqing's mediation that things were restored to this state.

Initially, although they had a dispute over the fundamental principles, they still cared about each other.

When facing external enemies, they united as one.

But when did all of this change?

It was when the Four Swords of Execution were obtained during the distribution of treasures at the Zixiao Palace.

That supreme Killing Supreme Treasure posed a threat to them.

This occurred when his Interception Sect grew stronger step by step, surpassing Taiqing and Yuanshi.

They were afraid of breaking through first, afraid that their strength would surpass theirs.

Therefore, Taiqing no longer mediated the conflict between him and Yuanshi.

Instead, they joined forces with Yuanshi to target him.

Tongtian had always known all this, but he still cared about their friendship, so he had been patiently yielding.

Because no matter how they argue, it's still an internal struggle within the Sanqing Ones, a competition between brothers.

But this time, in order to deal with us, they actually allied with the West.

This is an attempt to destroy the Jie Interception Sect and ruin their cultivation and spiritual practice.

Countless disappointments finally pushed him to his breaking point.

"Tongtian, how dare you be so insolent? How dare you question your senior brother like this? Do you even remember that you are one of the Sanqing?"

A strange glint flashed in Yuanshi's eyes, and he immediately demanded an answer in a stern voice.

Although Taiqing didn't speak, he kept looking at Tongtian with disapproval.

"The bond between the Sanqing has long since become a mere formality!"

The moment you joined forces with the West, you ceased to consider me a brother.

If that's the case, what's the point of maintaining this bond between the Sanqing Ones?

Since you all think I'm wrong, then I guess I'm wrong!

I, Tongtian, am unworthy to associate with you brothers.

The bond between the Sanqing Ones is severed here; let the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods proceed according to individual methods!

Tongtian had no intention of saying more to them and quickly left the Eight Sceneries Palace of Shouyang Mountain.

But the impact of his few words did not dissipate so easily.

In the River of Destiny, fortunes surge endlessly, and the Sanqing, whose fortunes were originally intertwined, are severed at this moment and in this place.

That delicate connection was completely severed by an invisible force.

The fortunes of the Three Teachings thus experienced tremendous fluctuations.

The fortune of the Interception Sect became even stronger because of this division.

Daoism in the Taiqing was not significantly affected, but the fortunes of the Chan Sect clearly declined.

From this day forward, there will be no further contact between the Sanqing.

Within the Eight Sceneries Palace, only Taiqing and Yuanshi remained silent.

This outcome was not what they had hoped for.

They attacked Tongtian because they feared Tongtian would surpass them and Tongtian their control.

They did not intend to drive Tongtian to a dead end.

No one expected Tongtian to be so resolute.

At this moment, the past of the Sanqing kept flashing through their minds.

His eyes revealed an extremely complex expression.

Even if they regret it in their hearts, they will never admit that they were wrong.

"Since Tongtian is so stubborn, let's each rely on our own abilities."

He will definitely regret his choice today!

The voice of the Yuanshi carried annoyance, and also a hint of something inexplicable that even he himself did not understand.

"That's it, things have come to this, we can only continue."

No matter what Tongtian is capable of, we cannot lose this time!

Taiqing let out a powerless sigh.

The Sanqing has come to this point partly because of Yuanshi, but mainly because of him.

He wanted to balance the power of Yuanshi and Tongtian, so that he could maintain his superior position.

This led to the outcome we see today.

But what's done is done, and there's no point in saying anything more.

They all knew Tongtian very well; once they made their decision, they would never turn back.

Moreover, compared to breaking with the Sanqing, the current struggle for the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods is far more important.

Despite this, the split between the Sanqing Ones still had a significant impact on Taiqing Yuanshi.

In contrast to the somber mood of the Sanqing, Mount Sumeru was filled with joy.

It is true that Jieyin and Zhunti and Yuanshi were allies, but they were well aware of how weak this alliance was.

Once this ordeal is over, they will definitely do everything in their power to suppress me.

The Sanqing have always been his greatest adversaries in the West.

But things are different now. The Sanqing Ones have completely broken with humanity, giving them a real hope for a rise to power.

They were not afraid of any of the three individuals.

What truly frightened them was the united stance of the Sanqing Ones against external threats.

This time, they are determined to make the Sanqing suffer heavy losses.

After the Investiture of the Gods, his rise to great prominence in the West will begin.
