Blood is thicker than water, how can the Three Pure Ones be provoked by others?

"What's wrong with my second brother?"

Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality looked incredulous.

In the past, Primordial Lord of Heaven's attitude towards the Intercepting Sect was his biggest headache.

The main reason the Three Pure Ones split was Primordial Lord of Heaven's prejudice against the Intercepting Sect disciples.

Now, he could actually say something like this?

Was this still his second brother?!

But beyond the shock, Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality felt more relief.

Regardless of the reason, at least Primordial Lord of Heaven was willing to change his view of the Intercepting Sect disciples.

Perhaps in the future, the relationship between their three brothers could improve further, even returning to how it was before!

It wasn't just him; the most shocked among everyone present now was Sovereign Lord of the Heavens.

He stared at Primordial Lord of Heaven, dumbfounded.

This wasn't the first time he had been shocked by Primordial Lord of Heaven's words.

From the moment Primordial Lord of Heaven first arrived at the Palace of Empress Nuwa until now.

Every single sentence was so astonishing!

If he couldn't tell that Primordial Lord of Heaven, besides becoming stronger, had no other changes, he would have suspected that Primordial Lord of Heaven had been possessed!

He was truly someone who would say anything to shock people!

"So strange."

Nuwa rubbed her temples.

She understood the current Primordial Lord of Heaven less and less.

The change from before to now was too great.

It was as if he had become a different person.

If she hadn't seen the other Saints looking incredulous as well, she would have thought she had misheard.

After all, Primordial Lord of Heaven's prejudice wasn't just towards the Intercepting Sect; it was the same for all creatures with fur, horns, or those born from water or eggs.

If she weren't one of the Six Saints of the Heavens, she believed that with Primordial Lord of Heaven's prejudice, he would have looked down on her without a second thought.

Yet now, it was too strange!

Did Primordial Lord of Heaven's change in attitude now mean that there was still a chance for the Three Pure Ones to reconcile in the future?

After all, the entire Great Desolation knew about the split of the Three Pure Ones.

If Primordial Lord of Heaven let go of his prejudice, perhaps the Three Pure Ones truly had a chance to reconcile.

If the Three Pure Ones reconciled, it would mean their combined immense power as three Heavenly Dao Saints would be enough to sweep across the entire Great Desolation unopposed!

If such a day were to come...

Nuwa felt a prickle of unease just thinking about it.

Although she no longer concerned herself with the affairs of the Great Desolation, the appearance of such immense power would inevitably stir her.

Unlike the shock of the other Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions were grim and somewhat embarrassed.

They had intended to use this opportunity to sow discord between the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect, but who knew Primordial Lord of Heaven would say something like this?

The two exchanged glances.

They immediately understood each other's thoughts.

Although Primordial Lord of Heaven was showing some favoritism, it might not be for the Intercepting Sect, but merely for the sake of the Three Pure Ones' reputation.

Even though the Three Pure Ones had split, they hadn't completely broken ties.

The reason he said such things must be that our instigation wasn't enough!

At this moment, the two had already come up with a plan.

Zhunti clasped his hands together, his face filled with sorrow: "Although all beings are nurtured by heaven and earth, and while there are differences in their origins, all living beings are equal in nobility."

"However, many disciples of the Intercepting Sect are remnants of the Demon Race who survived the Witch-Demon Calamity. In the past, the Demon Race forged the Witch-Slaying Sword and annihilated countless Human Race tribes."

"How can the disciples of the Intercepting Sect bear the title of Sage Teacher to the Human Race with such past grievances?"

Zhunti immediately chimed in: "Exactly. The Human Emperor is about to emerge, and each one is a person bearing great fortune and destiny."

"If we speak of Senior Brother Primordial's disciples from the Heavenly Origin Sect, I have no objections, as Senior Brother Primordial values quality over quantity when accepting disciples, and each of his disciples possesses great destiny."

"But these disciples of the Intercepting Sect are a mixed bag, mostly of inferior origins, and thus unworthy of being Sage Teachers!"

"One is enough!"

He knew Primordial Lord of Heaven was a proud man.

Now, with his flattery and belittling, even if Primordial Lord of Heaven temporarily set aside his prejudice against the Intercepting Sect to protect the overall interests of the Three Pure Ones, as long as Sovereign Lord of the Heavens refuted him, it would seem like he was attacking Zhunti, but in reality, he would be comparing the disciples of the Intercepting Sect with those of the Heavenly Origin Sect.

How could Primordial Lord of Heaven tolerate this?

Moreover, Zhunti believed Sovereign Lord of the Heavens would definitely retort.

After all, these were all his disciples being spoken of.

It was like someone insulting your son – who wouldn't get angry?!

Just as Zhunti guessed, his gaze deepened, and he saw Sovereign Lord of the Heavens' expression change, rage surging, Saint laws churning, even space itself trembling.

He was overjoyed.

Sovereign Lord of the Heavens really couldn't hold back!

However, before he could hear the exchange.

A more immense aura fluctuation followed, suppressing everything.

It was Primordial Lord of Heaven!

"What contradictions exist within my Three Pure Ones' lineage have nothing to do with your Western Teachings!"

Primordial Lord of Heaven's voice was icy, and a long banner appeared in his hand.

The moment it materialized, it severed rules, broke order, dispersed chaos, and awed all heavens!

It was an ancient, forbidden banner, divine light flowing, endless Dao rhymes scattering.

Yet, everyone could clearly sense the terrifying power fluctuation from it: as if it could tear everything apart, and yet subtly re-establish yin and yang... containing profound mysteries.

The name of this treasure was practically on the tip of everyone's tongues.

Pangu Banner!

At this moment, all the Saints were shocked.

How could they not know the fame of the Pangu Banner?

This was a treasure of creation!

It possessed the might to tear apart the Primordial Chaos, the power to shatter the time and space of all heavens, the Dao of infinite creation, the function of commanding the profound meanings of all laws, and the ability to open up heaven and earth.

Its offensive and creative powers were ranked first in the Great Wilderness!

It represented so much.

Now, Primordial Lord of Heaven held the Pangu Banner, his posture upright like a divine spear. He glared at the two Saints of the Western Teachings, the laws around him churning and lingering, unlike the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

This aura was more ancient and profound, suppressing everything, even the Heavenly Dao's aura involuntarily retreated.

It wasn't due to strength.

But a difference in quality!

Primordial Lord of Heaven wore a smile that seemed friendly, yet his voice was extremely cold: "I have said my piece. If you utter another word, do not blame me for being merciless!"

Zhunti immediately fell silent. He exchanged a look with Jieyin and put away his schemes.

But he felt indignant, as if he had been "wronged."

After all, he had been constantly defending the Heavenly Origin Sect.

He hadn't expected Primordial Lord of Heaven to not only not appreciate it but to directly bring out the Pangu Banner.

What the hell was that supposed to mean?

He turned on them that fast?!

Jieyin's face was filled with sorrow, and he could only compromise, saying, "If that's the case, with eight Sage Teacher positions in total, my four sects will split them equally, two per sect."

Before the other Saints could speak.

A system prompt suddenly sounded in Primordial Lord of Heaven's mind.

[Ding! Master, please choose.]

[1. Agree to the proposal of the two Western Saints, Reward: Postnatal Spiritual Root *1]

[2. Reject the proposal, forcefully retort to the two Western Saints, and scheme for all eight Sage Teacher positions, Reward: Primordial Supreme Treasure: Chaos Pearl]

Chaos Pearl!

Primordial Lord of Heaven froze.

This was a supreme treasure on par with the Sky-Opening Axe, Chaos Green Lotus, and Jade Disk of Creation!

Was there even a choice?

"Two positions?" Primordial Lord of Heaven immediately glanced at the two Western Saints and said directly, "I'll name a number. All eight Sage Teacher positions, my Three Pure Ones' lineage will take them all!"

The aura of the Pangu Banner in his hand became even more immense, permeating the entire Palace of Empress Nuwa. His words were extremely domineering, brooking no argument.

At this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin were struck by lightning, freezing in place, utterly stunned.

You're just naming a number?

My Western Teachings don't even get a number!

Listen to this, are these words a Saint should say?

Bullying people, and not even trying to hide it!

Do they think the Western Teachings have no temper?!

This is simply too much.

Does this Primordial Lord of Heaven want to start a Saint war?!
