Tongtian's Choice

Taishang was fighting with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, he saw Yuanshi take out the Pangu Banner and knew that today's trial formation should be stopped.

If the fight continues, they'll have to use their full strength. If things get really heated and they can't stop, that would be bad.

He then summoned the Exquisite Pagoda to suppress the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and then summoned the Taiji Diagram Taiji Diagram, which transformed into a Golden Bridge to briefly freeze the banner and two swords in mid-air.

"Second brother, third brother, please stop!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian withdrew their respective magical treasures, rose, and came to Taishang's side. Donghua, standing on a lotus platform, floated over.

"Today's test of formations is complete. Third Brother's formation is truly extraordinary. Let's stop here. If we continue, we'll have to fight with all our might, which is not good, not good at all!"

After a moment's thought, the two nodded slightly. "What elder brother says makes sense!"

Tongtian then withdrew the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, and the four of them stood on the nameless hill.

Tongtian said to Donghua, "Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei, why don't we go to Kunlun again and discuss the Dao?"

Donghua shook his head and said helplessly, "I appreciate your kindness, fellow Daoist, but now that my master has attained Dao, the Primordial Wilderness chaos has reignited. The Witch and Monster Two Clans are eyeing us covetously, and the various ancient Great God are also unwilling to accept defeat."

"I need to remain in my Purple Mansion to prevent any petty villains from making a move!"

The Three Pure Ones nodded to each other, clearly understanding the current situation in the Primordial Wilderness, though they felt somewhat helpless.

Tongtian did not press the matter further, saying, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. After you return to your Purple Mansion, if any petty villains dare to attack, you can send me a message, and I will certainly come to your aid!"

"This is the Immortal Slaying Sword. Since I lost back then, I will grant you, fellow Daoist, a thousand years to study and comprehend it!"

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Taishang and Yuanshi were about to say something, but in the end they held back and remained silent!

Donghua shook his head and refused, saying sincerely, "Brother Dao, what you said before was just a joke, how could you take it seriously!"

Tongtian was about to say something when Donghua interrupted him, saying, "Brother Dao, please don't do this. The Immortal Slaying Sword is your treasure for self-defense. Now that the Primordial Wilderness world is in turmoil, how can I take it away?"

"Let bygones be bygones, and never mention it again!"

Tongtian had no choice but to drop the matter.

He initially intended to use the Tongtian Immortal Slaying Sword to comprehend the Great Dao contained within it and enhance the destructive power of his Pure Yang Dao.

But upon closer reflection now, it is indeed inappropriate. What can one comprehend in a thousand years? And how much improvement can one gain from such comprehension?

It's better to forgo it altogether and instead exchange it for a token of Tongtian's kindness, something he'll remember. After all, if danger arises in the future, wouldn't Tongtian be willing to help?

Besides, Tongtian's words just now did indeed indicate an intention to help the Purple Mansion, so what's wrong with being generous!

"Fellow Daoists, these three copies are the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers of Kunlun Mountain. After a while, I have finally completed compiling them. Please take a look!"

Donghua took out three Golden Scroll and handed them to the Three Pure Ones Three Pure Ones, who opened them and began to read them!

Before long, they had all finished reading.

Taishang: "The preface is excellent, truly wonderful!"

Tongtian: "This is an Immortal Dao; my disciples should cultivate it!"

Yuanshi said indignantly, "The records of various supernatural powers are good, but why is Kunlun's 'Chaos Yin Yang' ranked second, while Nuwa's 'Mysterious Creation' is ranked first?"

Donghua smiled, already having an answer to this question, "Yuanshi, why are you in such a hurry? Why not practice all the supernatural powers on these scrolls first? If you still feel the ranking is wrong afterward, then it's not too late to discuss it!"

Before Yuanshi could ask another question, Tongtian said, "When my Junior Sister Nuwa gave her lecture last time, she talked about this supernatural power. Indeed, the supernatural powers of Kunlun are not as Gao Ming as hers. As stated in the preface, Mysterious Creation has transcended the scope of supernatural powers and is the Way of Creation!"

Upon hearing what the two had to say, Yuanshi put away the Golden Scroll, bowed slightly to Donghua, and asked no further questions.

Seeing this, Donghua thought, "Although Yuanshi is arrogant, he is still reasonable!"

Having given away the Golden Scroll of Divine Power, Donghua had nothing more to do in Kunlun. He bid farewell to the three and left the place, heading straight for Penglai Purple Mansion!

After Donghua left, Yuanshi said, "Third brother, East King Gong cultivates the way of the Emperor of Destiny. If he wants to attain enlightenment, he must compete with the Witch and Monster Two Clans. Why didn't you discuss it with us before joining in so easily?"

Tongtian gazed calmly into the distance and slowly said, "Second brother, the Three Pure Ones are the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian is Tongtian; the Three Pure Ones are Tongtian, but Tongtian is not the Three Pure Ones."

Upon hearing Yuanshi, Yuanshi was angry and wanted to say something, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Taishang stared in the direction Donghua had left and slowly said, "East King Gong is different from before. He no longer focuses on cultivating the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao, but it seems he is still cultivating. I can't understand it!"

Tongtian exclaimed in amazement, "Elder brother, you are truly remarkable! I have spent a long time with Tai Wei and only then did I discover this matter. Elder brother, with your Dharma Eye, you were able to see it. I am far inferior to you!"

Yuanshi was truly stunned. He and his eldest brother had always shared similar views, so why were they now similar to his third brother? And what were they saying? He couldn't understand a word. He was about to ask a question...

"Brother..."

Taishang shook his whisk and said, "I don't understand the Dao of the East King Gong, so you shouldn't ask. As for whether my third brother is involved..."

Taishang, thought for a moment, and said, "I also agree with what my third brother said. The Three Pure Ones are Tongtian, Tongtian are not the Three Pure Ones. My third brother has his own path to follow."

"But if anyone tries to bully my third brother, they'll have to ask my Taiji Diagram if it will allow it!"

Yuanshi didn't press further, but nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Three Pure Ones are one. Anyone who bullies my third brother is bullying me, Yuanshi, and my Pangu Banner will not tolerate it!"

The three brothers stood on the nameless hilltop, speechless for a long time!

That being said, there was a reason why these three brothers were able to survive in the perilous Primordial Wilderness until they attained enlightenment.

Given their current unity, with the Three Pure Ones as One as one, who can harm them? Who dares to oppose them?

Just like the two brothers, Jieyin and Zhunti, in the Western Region, the two brothers supported each other and went through many ups and downs, but in the end they attained enlightenment and became Attain Sainthood. They were truly extraordinary!

After leaving Kunlun, Donghua traveled all the way and finally arrived at the East Sea again, his hometown. Seeing the rippling blue sea, to be honest, he felt a little apprehensive as he approached home.

However, Donghua did not go directly to the Three Islands, but instead went to the East Sea Dragon Palace.

He's a vengeful person; how could he forget that old bastard Candle Dragon betraying him? He's prepared a big gift for him!

Taiyi did it because he couldn't win. If he could, he would have gone to the Heavenly Court long ago to avenge his past grievances.

They went straight into the Crystal Palace without disturbing anyone. Inside, the Dragon King Ao Ming was discussing matters with the Turtle Prime Minister.

Donghua revealed himself and asked, "Where is Candle Dragon?"

The two quickly bowed, Ao Ming replied, "Reporting to the East King, Ancestor Candle Dragon is currently cultivating in the ancestral land!"

"I have business with him. Keep it low-key and simply take me there!"

Then, Donghua grabbed Ao Ming and disappeared from the main hall!
