Uncle-Master, Let's Go Frame the Grandchildren of the Heavenly Origin Sect

"Big Sister!"

"Second Sister!"

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao instinctively clung to each other, their faces filled with despair and unwillingness.

Yun Xiao, however, gave a tragic smile and slowly closed her eyes.

"Big Brother, we… will come with you."

However, just as that sky-obscuring giant hand was about to descend, wiping out Sanxiao and the entire Nine Bends Yellow River Formation along with them.

An anomaly occurred once more!

"Junior Brother, hold your hand for a moment."

A gentle voice, yet one containing the supreme principles of the Great Dao, drifted down from the Nine Heavens.

Immediately after, a colossal divine diagram, upon which black and white energies flowed, seemingly capable of enveloping the entire Primordial Era, appeared out of thin air, positioning itself between the Jade Pure great hand and the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.

Upon the divine diagram, a golden bridge stretched forth.

Upon the golden bridge, an old Daoist, riding a green ox and holding a simple staff, slowly appeared.

The old Daoist appeared ordinary, like a village rustic, yet he exuded an aura of the origin of the Dao, one of "acting without acting, yet achieving all."

It was none other than the leader of the Human Sect, the Grand Supreme Elder Laozi!

"Boom!!!"

Venerable Yuanshi's Jade Pure great hand slammed fiercely onto the Taiji Diagram.

The entire Primordial Era shook violently.

But the terrifying attack, capable of destroying a great thousand world, upon contact with the Taiji Diagram, vanished like a clay ox entering the sea, effortlessly dissolved into nothingness by the flowing black and white energies.

"Senior Brother?"

Venerable Yuanshi withdrew his hand, looking at the suddenly appearing Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, his brow furrowed.

"Why are you blocking me?"

The Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, still on his green ox, sighed and pointed to the Twelve Golden Immortals trapped below, then to Sanxiao, slowly saying:

"Junior Brother, the Investiture of the Gods still lacks three hundred and sixty-five proper gods."

"Both our disciples are caught in this tribulation. Now, your twelve Golden Immortals have met this misfortune, cast down to the mortal world, which can be considered them fulfilling this tribulation. In the future, they only need to cultivate again to recover their Dao cultivation."

"As for these three junior nieces, though their methods were ruthless, their emotions are pitiable. How about I, your Senior Brother, break this formation, capture them, and bring them back to Biyou Palace to be dealt with by Junior Brother Tongtian himself?"

The Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's words sounded like he was mediating.

But Venerable Yuanshi heard a different meaning.

Capture them and hand them over to Tongtian for judgment?

Such a nice way of putting it!

Given Tongtian's protective nature, the final outcome would merely be a hundred years of confinement, a slap on the wrist.

And his Heavenly Origin Sect, having lost the Twelve Golden Immortals and suffered immense humiliation, would gain nothing in the end!

This was hardly mediation; it was blatant favoritism!

"Senior Brother, your words are mistaken!"

Venerable Yuanshi's tone also turned cold.

"These three demonic girls, with their vicious methods and cruel hearts, have already entered the Demonic Dao! If they are not executed here and now as a warning, what remains of our Mystic Gate's authority?"

"Today, no one will stop me!"

With that, an Auspicious Cloud appeared above his head. Upon the Auspicious Cloud, a golden lamp hung down myriad strands of yingluo (ornamental pendants), his protective treasure, the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud!

He had actually brought out his treasure of proving the Dao, clearly enraged and determined to kill Sanxiao here and now!

A battle between Saints was imminent!

Seeing Venerable Yuanshi even bring out the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, a hint of helplessness appeared on the Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's usually placid face.

His Junior Brother was good in all aspects, except that he cared too much about face and was too protective of his disciples.

Now, with his twelve personal disciples captured in one fell swoop and reduced to mortals in front of the entire Primordial Era, with Venerable Yuanshi's temperament, he absolutely could not let this humiliation slide.

"Alas…"

The Grand Supreme Elder Laozi sighed again.

"Junior Brother, why must you be so stubborn?"

"Since you insist on taking action, then I, your Senior Brother, can only… ask for a few pointers."

Though he spoke with resignation, his actions were not slow at all.

The Taiji Diagram beneath him flashed with light and instantly expanded, transforming into a world of distinct black and white, enveloping Venerable Yuanshi, along with his Nine Dragon Incense Carriage, within it.

The Taiji Diagram evolved Yin and Yang, forming its own realm.

In this world, the Grand Supreme Elder Laozi was the absolute master.

"Senior Brother! Are you truly going to fight me over these three Yao women?"

Pulled into the world of the Taiji Diagram, Venerable Yuanshi's voice was filled with boundless rage.

"Not so." Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's voice came from all directions. "I, your elder brother, merely do not wish to see the camaraderie of us three Pure Ones completely shattered due to the disputes of some juniors."

"Let us discuss the Great Dao here. When our tempers have cooled, it will not be too late to leave."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Venerable Yuanshi laughed in extreme anger.

"Discuss the Great Dao? I shall see just how powerful your Great Dao of inaction, Senior Brother, truly is!"

With that, he stopped wasting words. The Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud above his head erupted in light, impervious to all methods, and he proactively attacked towards the depths of the Taiji Diagram world.

He intended to use his strongest power to shatter his Senior Brother's world!

For a time, within the Taiji Diagram, Great Dao clashed, and laws roared.

Although nothing could be seen from the outside, all the mighty beings could sense what a terrifying battle between Saints was unfolding within that thin diagram.

In the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.

The three sisters, Yun Xiao, Bi Xiao, and Qiong Xiao, looked at the dramatic scene before them, somewhat stunned.

They never imagined that Grand Supreme Elder Laozi would step forward to stop Venerable Yuanshi on their behalf.

"Eldest Sister, what... what is happening?" Bi Xiao asked softly. "Uncle-Master Taishang, why... why is he helping us?"

In their impression, this leader of the Human Sect had always remained detached from worldly affairs, practicing inaction and purity. Furthermore, his relationship with Venerable Yuanshi had always been closer than with their own Master.

Today, his abnormal actions were truly perplexing.

Yun Xiao's eyes were also filled with confusion.

She shook her head. "I don't know either."

She couldn't understand.

Could it truly be because of the camaraderie of the three Pure Ones?

But if he truly cherished the camaraderie of the three Pure Ones, why didn't he intervene when the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect attacked and killed the disciples of the Intercepting Sect?

Yun Xiao's intuition told her that things were not that simple.

Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's intervention must have a deeper reason behind it.

And just as everyone's attention was drawn to the battle between Saints within the Taiji Diagram.

No one noticed.

On the distant western land, completely opposite to Kunlun Mountain and Golden Ao Island.

At Spirit Mountain, the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Daoist Jieyin was seated upon the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus, expounding the Great Dao.
