The Three Pure Ones Part Ways, Laozi Unable to Clear His Name

"By the Heavenly Dao above, I am the direct descendant of Pangu orthodox successor Shangqing Tongtian Daoist. Moved by the difficulty of the people seeking the Dao, I have established a sect, named the Interception Sect!"

"To seize a sliver of heavenly secret for all beings in the Primordial Wilderness, and capture that elusive being!"

"Use the Qingping Sword as Treasure of Attaining Dao and protect the destiny of the Human Race."

"The Interception Sect, be established!"

Standing atop the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Qingping Sword, Tongtian swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

Suddenly, a vast amount of Heavenly Dao Merit surged forth between heaven and earth and entered Tongtian's body.

It triggered the emergence of the essence of creation from the depths of the Tongtian.

One part of the creation merit and the Primordial Violet Qi combined.

In the blink of an eye, another Heavenly Dao Sage stood tall in the Primordial Wilderness.

Its majestic and holy power overwhelms the entire universe.

"From this day forward, I will be the Shangqing Tongtian Jiaozhu and take charge of the Interception Sect."

"The teachings of the Interception Sect are that there is no discrimination in education; anyone with the right affinity can join our sect."

Tongtian's divine might also enveloped the entire Primordial Wilderness, but unlike Laozi and Yuanshi, Tongtian directly opened his mountain gates wide and issued a decree to accept disciples throughout the entire Primordial World.

In an instant, countless Primordial Wilderness spirits were overjoyed.

Disciples of the Sage!

In the past, it was only available to the top experts in the ancient world.

Moreover, it is limited to the Three Pure Ones Nüwa, Nuwa, Western Villain Duo.

But now, it seems they also have a chance to become disciples of the Sage of the Interception Sect!

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Countless people, with heartfelt admiration, bowed and worshipped the Tongtian Jiaozhu Leader.

May the Shangqing Saint live a long and healthy life!

"The Sage is merciful; we are deeply grateful and filled with trepidation!"

Obviously, the Three Pure Ones became saints, but the prestige of the Tongtian Jiaozhu jumped directly to the top.

However, when Yuanshi heard about Tongtian's teachings, he was furious.

"Tongtian, I established the Elucidation Sect in accordance with the will of Heaven, but you want to establish the Interception Sect to seize the secrets of Heaven. Aren't you deliberately going against me?"

"Don't you even respect me as your second brother anymore?!"

Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's rebuke, Tongtian Jiaozhu raised an eyebrow.

"What dialect is that, Second Brother?"

"I established the Interception Sect in accordance with the Way of Heavenly Dao, to seize a glimmer of opportunity for all."

"The so-called Great Dao is fifty Tianyan forty-nine, and one of them is the Escape."

"The Interception Sect naturally responded to this opportunity."

"Otherwise, how could I prove the Way?"

"If it weren't for my second brother's Elucidation Sect, would I be unable to become a saint?"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu's gaze turned cold, and he spoke with displeasure.

"You..."

Yuanshi was furious.

I never expected Tongtian to dare to talk back.

"You've gone too far!"

"I'm your second brother, so you have to listen to me!"

"Quickly withdraw from this damned Jie Interception Sect! Establish a new sect."

Yuanshi snorted coldly, his tone unwavering and resolute.

"Impossible!"

Tongtian responded without yielding an inch.

For a moment, the tension between the two was palpable.

Countless sparks and flashes of lightning flickered faintly in the air.

When Sage is angry, the world is turned upside down.

Even though the two Sages did not make the slightest move, but merely became angry, it still caused frequent strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

"Alright, stop arguing for now."

"We'll discuss this further after we get back."

"What kind of behavior is it to act like this in front of outsiders?"

"And Tongtian, not to be rude, but even if Second Brother says something is a bit off, you can't talk to him like that!"

"He is, after all, your second brother!"

At this moment, Laozi, as the eldest brother, finally spoke.

However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he is still biased towards Yuanshi.

Yuanshi immediately looked smug.

Tongtian's face was dark and filled with resentment.

From childhood to adulthood, his elder brother Laozi always protected Yuanshi, and he was always the one who suffered losses.

It was fine before.

After all, these are all things that do not harm one's original nature, fortune, or merit.

But now, having established his own religion and attained sainthood, the Interception Sect is the foundation upon which he has proven his path.

The second elder brother, Yuanshi, actually wanted to destroy the Interception Sect simply because Interception Sect doctrines conflicted with those of the Chanjiao Elucidation Sect he founded.

This is like tearing flesh out of his heart!

How could Tongtian feel good about this?

At this moment, his face was even more unsightly.

"This is outrageous!"

Enraged, the Tongtian Jiaozhu swung his Qingping Sword and unleashed a powerful strike.

"Since Yuanshi says that the teachings of this sect, Interception Sect, contradict your Elucidation Sect,..."

"Then we'll go our separate ways from now on!"

"You and I follow the way of Heaven and expound the principles of Heaven, while I and I seize a sliver of Heavenly secrets."

With a single sword strike, Yuanshi instantly realized that the connection between himself and Tongtian, the Three Purities Source Qi, had been completely severed.

"Tongtian, how dare you sever the destiny of the Three Pure Qi!"

A look of disbelief appeared on Yuanshi's face, followed by a burst of rage.

The Three Pure Ones are one, their Qi (vital energy) connected like branches, and their fortunes linked.

It is precisely for this reason that the Three Pure Ones are considered to be the most powerful beings in the Primordial Wilderness.

After becoming a saint, the Three Pure Ones become one, and can even contend with the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

But now, with the Tongtian Jiaozhu's sword strike, the vital energy between the Three Pure Ones has been completely severed.

Their fortunes are no longer intertwined, and the Three Pure Ones are no longer one.

The power and merit of the three people no longer overlap.

The Great Destiny that once belonged exclusively to the Three Pure Ones vanished in an instant.

The three energies that emerged from the condensation belonged to Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian respectively.

However, it could never compare to the sheer size and power of the Three Pure Ones.

Tongtian's actions not only destroyed the Great Dao of Qi and destiny of Yuanshi and Laozi, but also cut off his own arm.

"Tongtian, you... sigh!"

Laozi was initially angry, but then he sighed helplessly.

It seems that even Tongtian felt saddened by this action.

However, at this moment, Taiyi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up.

"Laozi, stop pretending."

"By the way, you have absorbed the Three Purities Source Qi and received the catalysis of the merits of becoming a saint. You should have reached perfection by now, right?"

"When will Three Corpses Severance?"

Taiyi said with a grin.

Laozi's face instantly darkened, and he thought to himself, "Damn it!"

How did Taiyi find out about my very secret?

At this moment, Laozi noticed the puzzled and doubtful looks on Yuanshi and Tianyi, and quickly explained.

"Don't listen to Taiyi's nonsense."

"He sees that we Three Pure Ones have all become saints, so he wants to sow discord and disrupt the fortune of the Three Pure Qi."

"Only in this way can I achieve my unspeakable goal."

Taiyi simply chuckled as he listened to Laozi's sophistry.

"Yeah?"

"Then what do you think this is?"

After saying that, Taiyi pointed.

Instantly, the Good, Evil, and Obsession Corpses within Laozi's body, as well as the Three Purities Source Qi, appeared before Yuanshi and Tongtian as if they were transparent.

"Elder brother, how did you obtain the Jade Purity Origin Qi and the Shangqing Origin Qi?"

Upon seeing the other two streams of the Three Purities Source Qi moving like fish within the two corpses, Yuanshi immediately turned ugly, and he pressed for an answer.

Tongtian's face darkened, his gaze still fixed on Laozi with disbelief.

"No! Let me explain!"

Laozi immediately panicked.

Now, it's like mud has fallen into your pants—you can't explain yourself no matter what.

"It's all that damn troublemaker's fault!"

Seeing that he couldn't explain it, Laozi immediately turned his anger on Taiyi.
