Ch. 21Chapter 21
Laozi restored Tai Cang’s place in the Three Teachings’ Beast Realm trial despite Duobao and other Jie Sect cultivators objecting. After entering the realm, Tai Cang began confronting Jie Sect disciples to settle old grudges and complete his mission, leaving one disciple badly wounded and fleeing a Three-Eyed Golden Toad as Tai Cang pursued Wudang, Jinling, and Guiling.
- Duobao and other Jie Sect cultivators challenged Tai Cang’s right to enter the trial, but Laozi allowed him to participate and Tongtian silenced the objections.
- The Three Teachings’ disciples entered the Beast Realm, where Laozi used water mirrors to show the contest to the gathered sages and cultivators.
- Tai Cang adapted to the Beast Realm’s heavy gravity and violent energy, then searched for Jie Sect direct disciples.
- Tai Cang confronted a direct disciple who had followed Duobao and defeated him with a single sword strike, leaving him alive but badly wounded.
- Tai Cang set off after Wudang, Jinling, and Guiling, while a Three-Eyed Golden Toad forced the wounded disciple to use his jade talisman to escape the Beast Realm.
