Three Pure Ones Part Ways, Each Seeking a Dao Field! Heaven Pillar Summit, a Large Red Packet!

Hearing Tongtian's furious words, Yuanshi gave a cold laugh and said,

"My second brother doesn't know how to teach his disciples, so I had to step in and do it for him."

"What's wrong with that?"

After hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi's anger only grew.

He was furious that Tongtian had actually said he didn't know how to teach his disciples.

"Junior Brother."

"From the sound of it, you think you're quite capable!"

"Have you made such great progress in your cultivation since emerging from seclusion that you no longer even respect me, your second brother?"

At that, Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a stern expression,

"What?"

"Does Second Brother want to have a spar?"

"If so, I'd like to see how much your cultivation has improved, Second Brother!"

As soon as Tongtian said this, Yuanshi's expression darkened. He could no longer hold back his anger.

Boom!

The next moment, a vast Quasi-Saint Pressure erupted from Yuanshi.

Boom!

Seeing this, Tongtian didn't hesitate and immediately released his own aura.

In an instant, the two Quasi-Saint auras collided with a thunderous crash.

The clash of their auras alone made all of Kunlun Mountain shake.

The many disciples present were all too terrified to make a sound, their eyes wide with shock.

No one had expected that a dispute over Spiritual Medicine between Bixiao and Juliusun would end with Tongtian and Yuanshi, two Quasi-Saints, confronting each other.

While everyone was still reeling in shock, Yuanshi casually waved his hand. A magical treasure appeared in his grasp: the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

This treasure was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

When hurled, it struck an opponent right on the crown of the head.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Tongtian didn't hesitate either. With a wave of his hand, the Qingping Sword rang out like a dragon's cry, and he took hold of it.

The sword was three feet, six inches, and five fen long. Both its blade and scabbard were jet black, encircled by blue lotuses. It, too, was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Boom, boom...

As Yuanshi and Tongtian each brought out their magical treasures, the terrifying auras emanating from them grew even more imposing.

Guangchengzi, Duobao, and the others were forced to retreat again and again under the pressure.

Just as Yuanshi and Tongtian were about to attack,

a shout suddenly rang out from the heavens:

"Stop!"

At the sound, everyone present shuddered and hurriedly turned to look.

They saw an old man appear in midair.

Above his head hovered a Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, from which countless streams of Mysterious Yellow Qi descended, separating Yuanshi and Tongtian.

The newcomer was none other than Taishang.

When the disciples saw Taishang appear, they bowed to him in greeting and spoke in unison:

"Greetings, Senior Uncle-Master!"

Taishang paid them little heed, his gaze moving between Yuanshi and Tongtian.

"Big Brother!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian bowed to Taishang, but the anger in their eyes had yet to fade.

Seeing this, Taishang sighed helplessly. The Taiji Diagram slowly unfurled beneath his feet as he said,

"We Three Pure Ones were formed from the primordial spirit of Great God Pangu. We share one breath and come from the same source!"

"Yet now we're at daggers drawn over the affairs of our juniors, even on the verge of a fight."

"If word of this got out, wouldn't the Primordial Wilderness laugh at us?"

"Why don't you two put your weapons away at once?"

At Taishang's rebuke, Yuanshi and Tongtian both flinched, not daring to argue.

Although Taishang rarely involved himself in certain matters,

his cultivation was still superior to that of Yuanshi and Tongtian.

After a brief pause, Tongtian put away the Qingping Sword. Yuanshi also dispelled the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and put away the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Even so, the atmosphere between them remained tense.

It was obvious that neither would yield to the other.

Taishang could only watch, feeling bitter and helpless.

Ever since Yuanshi and Tongtian had begun accepting disciples in large numbers, Kunlun Mountain had known no peace. Their followers often clashed.

This had become a great headache for Taishang.

Yuanshi's disciples considered themselves orthodox and looked down on the feathered and horned beings among Tongtian's followers.

Tongtian's disciples, meanwhile, thought Yuanshi's followers were pretentious and self-righteous.

At first, the conflicts had been minor.

But now, the animosity had grown worse and worse.

It had even come to the point where Yuanshi and Tongtian were on the verge of fighting.

After giving it some thought, Taishang's eyes suddenly flashed with resolve. He said,

"I'd originally hoped our disciples would learn to get along."

"But now it seems they'll never be able to."

"In that case, we'd be better off finding separate Dao Fields and cultivating our own disciples. We can enjoy some peace and avoid further trouble!"

At Taishang's words, a flicker of surprise passed through the eyes of both Tongtian and Yuanshi.

After a brief pause, they replied,

"That works."

"Agreed!"

Hearing their answers, Taishang was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Tongtian and Yuanshi to agree so readily.

After a moment's silence, he said,

"I've already found a Dao Field elsewhere."

"I have no need for this place."

Taishang had gone out earlier and found a blessed land: the Xuandu Purple Mansion.

Xuandu referred to the Great Luo Palace, while Purple Mansion referred to the Eight Sceneries Palace within it.

Its immortal peaks were sheer and precipitous, its craggy ridges towering high. Auspicious grasses grew along its slopes, and Spiritual Medicine flourished on its grounds. Its roots were connected to the earth's splendor, while its peaks reached the heavens.

It was an ideal place for quiet cultivation.

Hearing Taishang's words, Tongtian turned to Yuanshi and said coolly,

"Then I'll leave Kunlun Mountain to you, Second Brother!"

"I have so many disciples that this place has indeed become a little crowded."

Yuanshi nodded slightly and replied with a single word: "Fine."

Tongtian didn't linger. He immediately took his disciples and flew away.

As they departed, Duobao, Zhao Gongming, San Xiao, and the other disciples all bowed to Taishang and Yuanshi in farewell.

Guangchengzi and the other disciples of Yuanshi watched with cold indifference.

Only Yu Ding felt deeply moved and somewhat reluctant.

After all, he had come to Kunlun Mountain with Duobao back then.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian led his many disciples to the Overseas Lands.

There, Tongtian found a place of extraordinary beauty and spiritual grace: Jin'ao Island.

The island resembled a giant turtle lying amid the waves and stretched for a hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred li.

Mists and clouds gathered on the island in auspicious hues, while the sun and moon shone brightly.

Colors swirled through the air, and the light of the Dao filled the purple mists.

Fragrant smoke drifted through the air, carrying the pure essence of the Non-polar Dao.

Tongtian was delighted and immediately made Jin'ao Island his Dao Field.

Thus, the Three Pure Ones parted ways!

Taishang resided at the Eight Sceneries Palace on Great Luo Mountain, Yuanshi held Kunlun Mountain's Yuxu Palace, and Tongtian took up residence at Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island!

Meanwhile,

at Buzhou Mountain,

Qin Mu knew nothing of what had happened at Kunlun Mountain.

After years of steadily climbing, he had finally reached the summit of the Primordial Heavenly Pillar.

The pressure there was so terrifying that even the void twisted beneath it.

"After all these years of climbing, my perseverance has finally paid off!"

Qin Mu exclaimed inwardly, staring intently at a Large Red Packet floating in the nearby void.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind:

[ Ding! ]

[ A Large Red Packet has been detected. Collect it? ]

"Collect it!"

Qin Mu answered at once, collecting the Large Red Packet.

Immediately afterward, another system notification sounded:

[ Congratulations, host! You have obtained Large Red Packet ×1! ]

[ Open it now? ]

"Open it!"

Qin Mu didn't hesitate. If it had been a Medium Red Packet, he might have thought it over and considered saving it for a fusion.

But with a Large Red Packet, there was no need to worry about that.
