Along the way to the Three Pure Ones Mountain, many inscrutable Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and even more powerful beings were hidden in the shadows.

Certain Quasi-Saints were casting their gazes from across vast distances in this direction.

As for Zhunti and Jieyin, who were currently fleeing, there was no need to mention them.

Dijiang had personally made a move earlier.

Though he concealed his Quasi-Saint-level methods, after exchanging a single blow with an old dragon in the sea, he chose to retreat.

The Quasi-Saint's aura still shook the Primordial Wilderness, driving countless Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and Great Divine Ability Users to act wildly.

Zhunti and Jieyin wouldn't be able to flee much longer!

"Now I just need a catalyst, just one catalyst!"

"This plan will be pushed to its climax!"

"I want that Saint Position to change hands!"

Ps: New book in its infancy!

The little author begs for flowers, begs for tips, begs for monthly tickets, begs for evaluation tickets, begs for comments, and all other support!

Chapter 36: Suppressing Gongming with One Hand, Crushing the Three Firmaments with a Flick! (Begging for Flowers and Monthly Tickets)

Xuanming evolved the mist of the Great Dao, bringing Chu Xuan with her, and arrived before the Three Pure Ones Secret Realm in disguise. Under countless unexpected gazes in the shadows, she easily entered it.

Thus, Chu Xuan smoothly met the Three Pure Ones, beings of extreme uniqueness in the Primordial Wilderness.

One old, one middle-aged, one young.

Vaguely above them, indistinct like the Dao, the origin of all things, profound and mysterious.

The Three Pure Ones stood together as if one entity.

As if they were some kind of true form of the Great Dao.

The combined power of these three might not necessarily be inferior to a Quasi-Saint.

The Three Pure Ones, incarnations of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, were the true Pangu Orthodox.

In a sense, they were even more orthodox than the Wu Clan.

After all, the Wu Clan was born from only a portion of blood, and even though the Ancestral Shamans were formed from Pangu Essence Blood, it was still just blood, while the Three Pure Ones possessed the most crucial Primordial Spirit.

In the past, they were not taken seriously because Dao Ancestor Hongjun had seized enlightenment first, and no one dared to speculate on the Dao Ancestor's thoughts regarding these three 'remnants of the former dynasty.'

But now, with the eruption of the Saint Position Cushion incident, the Gods had gained some insight.

The Dao Ancestor Hongjun likely didn't care, at least enough to be willing to grant them a Saint Position.

Their origins were too terrifying; perhaps this was also one reason why the Gods' conquests weren't as fierce as those targeting Zhunti and Jieyin.

Chu Xuan felt a glimmer of understanding in his heart.

But he didn't speak.

Because, as he had told Xuanming, the Three Pure Ones were somewhat special, and he feared being seen through, so he couldn't stay long. This time, Xuanming was the one in charge.

Soon, Xuanming had Chu Xuan step down, and the Three Pure Ones timely summoned a disciple to take Chu Xuan around the secret realm.

Chu Xuan complied obediently, like an ordinary Wu Clan member, and followed a newly arrived Daoist named Duobao out of the Three Pure Ones Hall.

"Daoist Chu Xuan, shall I show you around first?"

Daoist Duobao wore a genial smile, exuding great affability, and most notably, he was adorned with many treasures. Though most were acquired treasures, they were still dazzling to the eye.

Chu Xuan looked at this future World-Honored One of the Western Teachings in the predetermined timeline and smiled as well. He felt that he and this man might have much to discuss.

A disciple of the Three Pure Ones, a future World-Honored One!

Though with his own interference now, the future might not unfold the same way.

But all Karma has its reasons.

There was no harm in speaking a few more words.

However, before he could say anything, a handsome Daoist with a somewhat weakened aura walked toward them from not far away.

"Senior Brother Duobao! Let me guide this fellow Daoist instead!"

"Daoist Chu Xuan, I am Guangchengzi, a personal disciple under the Jade Pure One. Wouldn't it be better for me to show you the secret realm's scenery!"

Indeed, the newcomer was Guangchengzi. Though he had recently suffered an assassination attempt, he stubbornly left his cave dwelling.

He wanted to compete with Duobao for the right to host the guest.

This was a way to express his own orthodoxy to the outside world.

A hint of contention between the Upper Pure One and the Jade Pure One, trickling down to their disciples, was enough to affect the relationship between their two lineages.

With just one glance, Chu Xuan saw through the Karma.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If he were within the Three Pure Ones Sect, executing his schemes would certainly be far more convenient.

But even though he wasn't inside the Three Pure Ones Sect, Chu Xuan still instinctively fanned the flames.

"Daoist Guangchengzi, you seem to be still recovering from an injury?"

Though phrased as a question, the certainty in his eyes was already clear.

Guangchengzi's expression stiffened, and he spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"You may not know, but this was from a recent attack by a Great Divine Ability User—nothing ordinary. My master has already treated me, so I'm fine now."

"If it's just sightseeing..."

"What a pity. I was hoping to spar with a future saint's disciple and test what I've learned!"

Chu Xuan spoke bluntly, his gaze burning with regret, acting as straightforward and battle-hungry as any member of the Wu Clan.

He directly choked off everything Guangchengzi had to say.

No matter how much Guangchengzi wanted to speak up and seize the initiative, it was useless.

He could only watch helplessly as Chu Xuan walked toward Daoist Duobao's group.

Daoist Duobao laughed heartily.

"Indeed! Our Supreme Purity Sect is vast, with the most disciples among the Three Pure Ones. We certainly won't let you leave empty-handed!"

Beaming, Daoist Duobao completely ignored the fuming Guangchengzi and cheerfully led Chu Xuan toward the Supreme Purity Sect.

Behind them, Guangchengzi stood frozen for a long moment before snorting coldly and storming off in displeasure.

After all, since Chu Xuan had put it that way, approaching him further would only be a loss of face.

But compared to Chu Xuan's lack of courtesy, because the other was from the Wu Clan, Guangchengzi didn't hold much resentment toward him.

His greater anger was directed at Daoist Duobao's remark about the sect being vast and having the most disciples among the Three Pure Ones.

It felt like an underhanded claim to orthodox status.

Which infuriated Guangchengzi.

Like master, like disciple.

Guangchengzi had always valued his identity as a disciple of the Pangu Orthodox, looking down on Tongtian's disciples—those born from moisture and eggs.

Now that he was being overshadowed by them, it was only natural that his anger flared.

Unable to resent Chu Xuan, he could only direct his hatred toward Duobao and the Supreme Purity lineage itself!

Everything happening outside was clear to the Three Pure Ones within the Three Pure Ones Hall.

Laozi sighed inwardly.

Tongtian paid it no mind, while Yuanshi frowned.

But in the end, none of them voiced any opinion, since it was ultimately a matter among the disciples.

Even if they had objections, Yuanshi's dissatisfaction lay with the mixed quality of the Supreme Purity Sect's disciples—after all, Chu Xuan was from the Wu Clan, and the Wu Clan had no cunning.

Only Xuanming understood that scene was surely Chu Xuan stirring the pot. Once she looked at Chu Xuan through tinted lenses, every action seemed open to interpretation.

This left Xuanming both amused and exasperated. Her little brother seemed to stir up trouble wherever he went.

Of course, as someone on Chu Xuan's side, she naturally wouldn't expose that.

Instead, she directly changed the subject and began discussing investment and protection matters with the Three Pure Ones.

Within the Supreme Purity Sect.

Chu Xuan manifested a true body hundreds of thousands of zhang tall, the Great Earth Law trembling as he pressed down with one palm, crushing pearl after pearl.

His immeasurable divine strength seemed capable of splitting the heavens, heavy as the earth itself.

Zhao Gongming's expression shifted drastically as he tried to struggle, but soon, one Sea Calming Divine Bead after another was dimmed by Chu Xuan's single slap.
