Know Your Place! / Taiqing: Second Brother, Please Just Let Me Go!

To be honest, Nuwa felt it was only natural that Shangqing Tongtian would first attain enlightenment.

When she was preaching, she noticed that Shangqing Tongtian's aptitude was superior to that of Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi.

The path to enlightenment is not determined by aptitude, but by how the Great Dao's Destiny.

For example, Nuwa's aptitude was inferior to that of the Three Pure Ones, yet she still became the first to attain sainthood!

"Nuwa, can you calculate what Laozi (Taiqing Laozi) is doing on Shouyang Mountain?"

Bai Chen wanted to know what Taiqing Laozi was doing, that he actually let Shangqing Tongtian attain sainthood first.

Nuwa quickly calculated the location of Taiqing Laozi with her fingers and told Bai Chen:

"Little White, you're wrong. He's in the Kunlun Ruins, not on Shouyang Mountain!"

Nuwa was very pleased. This cat usually boasted of its great wisdom and acted as if it knew many secrets.

But today the cat finally made a mistake, proving that even cats can make mistakes.

"Why would he be at Kunlun Ruins, the Daoist temple? He should be at Shouyang Mountain!"

Bai Chen was greatly alarmed upon hearing this. It wanted to know if Taiqing Laozi had gone mad, or if he no longer wanted to attain enlightenment.

Nuwa pointed her fingertip and used her magic to draw a scroll, which showed the scene of Taiqing Laozi wanting to see the human race, but being stopped by Yuqing Yuanshi, and then returning to Kunlun Ruins together.

"Hahaha!"

"This is hilarious!"

Bai Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this.

He accidentally tumbled off Nuwa's lap and landed on the Twenty-Fourth Grade Cycle Purple Jade Lotus Platform.

"Once Taiqing Laozi attains enlightenment, Yuqing Yuanshi will likely get a beating."

Just thinking about this scene made Bai Chen laugh so hard his stomach hurt, and he kept rolling around on the Twenty-Fourth Grade Cycle Purple Jade Lotus Platform.

It's true that even the most cunning villains can't outsmart a simpleton with a clever idea!

Yuqing Yuanshi really screwed over Taiqing Laozi this time, successfully delaying the latter's path to enlightenment.

Chapter 200 Recognizing One's Own Identity! (Please Read On!)

Nuwa reached out and poked Bai Chen, who was lying on the lotus platform laughing heartily, and asked:

"Little White, how do you know?"

Nuwa felt that although the Three Pure Ones had different personalities, the three brothers seemed to have a good relationship, unlike her and her foolish brother Fuxi, who had a lot of estrangement.

The three brothers of the Three Pure Ones would not fight each other without reason, turning against each other like brothers.

Bai Chen felt he couldn't just laugh until his stomach hurt, Nuwa would have to share the pain too, so he decisively revealed the truth:

"Nuwa, I, the Great God, tell you that according to my predictions based on the long river of time, Laozi Taiqing should, after you, attain enlightenment and realize the Dao at Shouyang Mountain, thereby educating the human race, establishing a religion, and becoming a saint."

However, because Yuqing Yuanshi and Taiqing Laozi haven't gone to Shouyang Mountain, he can't expect to attain enlightenment anytime soon.

Bai Chen felt that given Taiqing Laozi's current situation, as long as he stayed in Kunlun Ruins, he could forget about attaining enlightenment. He might become the last of the Three Pure Ones to attain enlightenment, or even the last of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao to attain enlightenment.

I, Great God Bai Chen who screw over their sisters and fathers, but I've never seen anyone screw over their brother. Today, I've finally seen one.

"Hiss!"

Nuwa couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, and then added:

"In that case, if Taiqing Laozi were to discover this matter after attaining sainthood, Yuqing Yuanshi might actually get a beating."

Nuwa felt that, as Bai Chen had said, Yuqing Yuanshi had truly screwed over Taiqing Laozi.

It should be noted that Taiqing Laozi, is the head of the Three Pure Ones. If he cannot be the first among the Three Pure Ones to attain enlightenment, he probably cannot hold onto the title of the head of the Three Pure Ones.

Moreover, Taiqing Laozi the direct disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the appointed acting head of the Xuanmen sect. If he attained enlightenment too late, it would have an enormous impact on him.

Nuwa felt that Yuqing Yuanshi had caused Taiqing Laozi such a terrible mess, he deserved to be beaten up.

"However, if Yuqing Yuanshi attains enlightenment first, then there's no need to fear being beaten up."

Nuwa felt that in the current situation, if Yuqing Yuanshi didn't want to be beaten, the only way was to preemptively attain enlightenment before Taiqing Laozi.

If Yuqing Yuanshi were to attain enlightenment first, Taiqing Laozi would be unable to defeat him.

"Even if Yuqing Yuanshi attained enlightenment first, he still couldn't defeat Taiqing Laozi."

Bai Chen refuted Nuwa's statement, saying that either Nuwa looked down on Yuqing Yuanshi, or Yuqing Yuanshi had preemptively attained enlightenment and was inferior to Taiqing Laozi in terms of combat power.

How do you know?

Nuwa rejected Bai Chen's proposal because she remembered that when Dao Ancestor Hongjun distributed treasures, the treasures that Yuqing Yuanshi received were more powerful than those that Taiqing Laozi.

She didn't believe that Taiqing Laozi, having attained sainthood late in life, could defeat Yuqing Yuanshi.

"Taiqing, the Laozi of the Three Pure Ones, received more of Pangu's legacy."

According to what Bai Chen knew, Taiqing Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones, possessed one more innate Daoist supernatural power than Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian.

This Taiqing supernatural power was inherited by Laozi from the great god Pangu. It is an innate Innate Divine Ability named after the birth of the three brothers, and is called "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones".

In the later Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Laozi of Taiqing relied on a single supernatural power to break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation of Shangqing Tongtian.

Bai Chen knew that Taiqing Laozi possessed this Innate Divine Ability, but the other party would never use it unless absolutely necessary.

Because once the opponent uses the Innate Divine Ability — One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones —and is seen by Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian, that will be the day when the three brothers of the Three Pure Ones completely turn against each other.

"Nuwa, in any case, try not to fight with Taiqing Laozi and Shangqing Tongtian in the future."

"The Taiqing Laozi's magic weapon Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and his Innate Divine Ability are formidable."

Besides his powerful array formations, Shangqing Tongtian also had the Dao Ancestor Hongjun behind him.

If you don't want to be punished, don't fight with him.

To prevent Nuwa from suffering losses in the future, Bai Chen gave Nuwa a special reminder, lest she become arrogant and fall into the hands of Taiqing Laozi and Shangqing Tongtian.

"We are all disciples of Master Hongjun, surely Master Hongjun wouldn't be too biased?"

Nuwa felt that Bai Chen had exaggerated. Although Shangqing Tongtian was Direct Disciple, she herself was also a formal disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

"Hehe!"

Bai Chen chuckled and sneered:

"Nuwa, if you go and injure the other saints, the Dao Ancestor might not show himself from beginning to end."

But if it were Shangqing Tongtian, before he was even injured, Dao Ancestor Hongjun might have already appeared."

"When that time comes, if Dao Ancestor Hongjun appears, you will definitely be punished!"

Why did Bai Chen say that?

It's just that two unlucky souls were tested during the later Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

Those two unlucky fellows, along with the Western Two Saints, ganged up on Shangqing Tongtian Shangqing Tongtian, pushing him to the brink, and he prepared to restart the Primordial World.

Just as Shangqing Tongtian was about to commit a grave error, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun not only gave the two unlucky guys a good scolding, but also made them take the Saint-Slaying Pill along with Shangqing Tongtian, so that the two unlucky guys would not dare to attack Shangqing Tongtian in the future.

Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi: Bai Chen, stop hiding it, just state our brother's names.

As for the Western Two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, they were confined to the Western Spirit Mountain by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

And what about Shangqing Tongtian?

Officially, he was placed under house arrest in the Purple Cloud Palace, but in reality, he was following Dao Ancestor Hongjun to cultivate more profound Daoist techniques.

Bai Chen suddenly thought of something, so he looked at Nuwa and a rather interesting smile appeared on his lips:

"Nuwa, you don't really think you're a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, do you?"

Bai Chen felt that Nuwa, like Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Jieyin and Zhunti, had not recognized her own identity.

Nuwa glared at Bai Chen and said in an annoyed tone:

"If I were not a disciple of Master Hongjun, where would my Hongmeng Purple Qi come from?"

This Bad Cat is always causing trouble, and now it's even trying to sow discord around itself.

Are you itching for a beating?

"Hehe!"

Bai Chen sneered and said mockingly:

"You are merely disciples accepted by the Dao Ancestor on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. He is simply guiding and disciplining you on behalf of the Heavenly Dao."

Shangqing Tongtian, on the other hand, was the true disciple recognized by the Dao Ancestor.

This is the difference between you and Shangqing Tongtian, do you understand?

Nuwa wanted to refute this, but she couldn't, because when Dao Ancestor Hongjun accepted disciples, he did say that he was accepting disciples on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.

Kunlun Ruins...

The Shangqing Tongtian, who had attained sainthood through enlightenment, suddenly spoke:

"Elder brother, Junior Sister Nuwa was just calculating your fate, but I don't know why."

Although Shangqing Tongtian had just attained sainthood, he still sensed that Taiqing Laozi had been calculated and divined.

"I suppose Nuwa is calculating when I, brother, will attain enlightenment?"

"Tongtian, you should hurry up and comprehend the Primordial Unity Dao Method!"

After exchanging a few words with Taiqing Laozi and Shangqing Tongtian, he quickly began his cultivation.

Now that his third brother has attained sainthood, he naturally has no pressure and is quite idle.

But as the eldest brother, he hasn't even touched the threshold of attaining enlightenment. He's under immense pressure right now, so where would he find the time to chat idly with the other person?

Chapter 201 Taiqing: Second Brother, please let me go! (Please read on!)

After an unknown amount of time, Yuqing Yuanshi, who was on the verge of enlightenment, stopped his cultivation and spoke to his elder brother, Taiqing Laozi:

"Brother, I also understand the opportunity to attain enlightenment, so I will take the first step to do so!"
